Abstract
A gateway may establish connectivity between a user equipment device (UE) and a network at a Quality of Service (QOS) indicated in a policy profile of the UE. Thereafter, the gateway may receive information indicating a change to the QOS and may transmit the information for receipt by the UE. If the gateway fails to receive an acceptance response from the UE, the gateway may then determine whether to update the QOS in the policy profile of the UE. On one hand, the gateway may update the QOS in the policy profile if the change to the QOS is a downgrade. On the other hand, the gateway may keep the QOS in the policy profile unchanged if the change to the QOS is an upgrade. The gateway may then enforce the QOS of the connectivity based on the policy profile of the UE.
