Abstract
Techniques presented herein optimize application detection and subsequent creation/updating of dedicated bearers based on Internet Protocol (IP) flow detection. APP-START messages can be avoided for each of the IP flows detected by a user plane function (UPF) for an application towards the Session Management Function/ Policy and Charging Function (SMF/PCF). Updating of quality of service (QoS) rules based on an IP flow detected towards a user equipment (UE) and UPF can be avoided. These techniques use a local configuration (‘single-ipflow-bearer’ indication) on the UPF or the PCF to indicate that all IP flows (single-ipflow-bearer) mapped to a pre-defined rule should be associated to the same bearer. The single-ipflow-bearer indication from the PCF to the SMF/UPF may be part of a pre-defined rule trigger when the single-ipflow-bearer configuration is on the PCF.
