AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing ATSSS rules do not incorporate RAN measurements to dynamically adjust traffic distribution across 3GPP and non-3GPP access networks based on radio access network conditions or congestion levels, leading to inefficient radio resource usage and reactive network performance adjustments.

Method used

Incorporating RAN measurements, such as radio access network load indicators and UE-specific RAN state indicators, into ATSSS rules to proactively adjust traffic distribution across 3GPP and non-3GPP accesses, enabling timely adjustments based on real-time access performance.

Benefits of technology

Enhances radio resource efficiency and quality of service by allowing proactive traffic management, reducing tail delay and improving Multi-Access Edge Computing performance under heavy traffic loads.
