Samsung patents 5G method for routing app traffic by category
This patent describes a method for 5G or 6G devices to tell the network what types of data they can handle. The device sends this information to the network, which then sends back rules on how to route specific app traffic through the correct data session.
In the filing’s own words
The present disclosure relates to a 5G or 6G communication system for supporting higher data transmission rates, and pertains to an operation method of a user equipment (UE). The operation method comprises the steps of transmitting a registration request message including a traffic category support indication to an access and mobility management function (AMF) via an access node, receiving, from the AMF via the access node, a UE configuration update message including UE route selection policy (URSP) rules determined on the basis of the traffic category support indication and first traffic category mapping information, and determining a protocol data unit (PDU) session for application traffic on the basis of the URSP rules and pre-stored second traffic category mapping information.
What exactly they claim (claim 1)
1. An operation method of a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system, the method comprising: transmitting a registration request message comprising a traffic category support indication to an access and mobility management function (AMF) via an access node; receiving, from the AMF via the access node, a UE configuration update message comprising UE route selection policy (URSP) rules determined based on the traffic category support indication and first traffic category mapping information; and determining a protocol data unit (PDU) session for application traffic, based on the URSP rules and pre-stored second traffic category mapping information.
