Abstract

A method for operating a policy control entity in a wireless communications network. In the wireless communications network a multipath transmission with at least two data packet sessions can be provided between a content provider and a user equipment. The method comprises the following steps. First, an establishment request is received from a network exposure entity to set up the multipath transmission. The establishment request comprises multipath information including a multipath indicator, indicating that the multipath transmission is requested, and a flow description for the first data packet session and the second data packet session. Then, for at least the first data packet session and the second data packet session, a multipath transmission policy is determined. Then, in response to the establishment request, a response message is transmitted to the network exposure entity, including the multipath transmission policy.
