Techniques for non-integrated traffic aggregation, steering, and switching for a protocol data unit session

Abstract

Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a network node (e.g., a session management function (SMF)) may receive policy and charging control (PCC) rules that include control information associated with a non-integrated aggregation (NIA) protocol data unit (PDU) session requested by a user equipment (UE). The SMF may communicate, to the UE, one or more access traffic steering, switching, and splitting (ATSSS) rules derived from the PCC rules, wherein the one or more ATSSS rules are for controlling traffic steering, switching, and splitting associated with the NIA PDU session in an uplink direction. The network node may communicate, to a user plane function (UPF), N4 interface rules derived from the PCC rules, wherein the N4 interface rules are for controlling traffic steering, switching, and splitting associated with the NIA PDU session in a downlink direction. Numerous other aspects are described.
