Abstract
Methods and systems for optimizing signaling with traffic detection function are described herein. According to an implementation, a computing device, e.g., a session management function (SMF) in a wireless communication network, may receive, from a user plane function (UPF), a first message reporting detection of a first data flow from a user equipment. The computing device may configure a bearer to carry the first data flow based on a traffic flow template (TFT) and a quality of service (QOS) assigned by a policy control function (PCF). In some examples, the computing device may receive, from the UPF, a second message reporting detection of a second data flow from the user equipment. The computing device may update the TFT and use the QoS previously assigned to the bearer to carry the second data flow.
