Abstract
A database, e.g. a unified data repository (UDR) which can be accessed by a unified data management (UDM), stores residential gateway (RG) subscription information for each of plurality of RGs. The stored RG subscription information, corresponding to a RG includes information, e.g. 5G-RG L4S information, indicating whether or not the RG is allowed/capable to perform ECN marking. A session management function (SMF) retrieves, e.g., via a UDM, the RG information indicating whether or not the RG is allowed/capable to perform ECN marking and uses the retrieved information to decide whether or not to enable the RG to perform ECN marking for L4S and/or provide congestion information as part of QoS monitoring and/or to select resources including a policy control function (PCF) for supporting a PDU communications session.
