Abstract
A user plane function (UPF) node may receive a packet for traffic associated with a user equipment (UE). During packet classification, the UPF node may identify that a packet filter for the packet is not found in a packet filter set of an existing Quality of Service (QoS) Flow. In response, the UPF node may configure the packet filter in the packet filter set of the QoS Flow based on a flow tuple of the packet. The UPF node may send, to a control plane function node, a message which indicates a request for adding the flow tuple to the QoS Flow. The message may be for triggering communication of a message which indicates a session modification command for receipt by the UE, for adding an uplink packet filter that is based on the flow tuple for the QoS Flow.
