Abstract
Methods and apparatuses are described herein for providing fine-grained QoS rules within UE Policies. A network entity may receive triggers to update the policies of a user equipment (UE) with parameters based on input such as input from a third party. The network entity may derive fine-grained quality of service (QoS) rules and corresponding QoS Profiles and delivers them to the UE using a UE Policy container via the Non-Access Stratum (NAS). The fine-grained rules may comprise: a destination fully qualified domain name (FQDN) or uniform resource locator (URL), an Application ID, a User Route Selection Policy precedence value, etc. The fine-grained rules also provide mechanisms for time gating or volume gating. The UE may request new QoS treatment resulting in UE Policy update and may use the information in the fine-grained QoS rules when establishing or modifying PDU Session to apply QoS Flow Identifier (QFI) marking.
