DYNAMIC ACTIVATION OF ANDSF POLICIES

摘要

A method for managing ANDSF policies in a 3GPP access network includes defining ANDSF rules and structuring the ANDSF rules into sets of ANDSF policies. A set identifier is defined for each set of the ANDSF policies as an ANDSF Set-ID. The ANDSF Set-IDs are conveyed to targeted UEs via a 3GPP control plane. The sets of the ANDSF policies are provisioned to the targeted UEs. A respective one of the ANDSF Set-IDs is provided such that it is used by UE logic in order to apply the respective ANDSF policy.
