Terminal UE Policy Capability Reporting for Executable URSP Configuration
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing UE policies, such as URSP rules, are not fully executed by terminal devices due to unsupported parameters, leading to resource wastage as the network side is unaware of the terminal's capabilities.
Innovation Solution
A mechanism for the terminal device to report supported and unsupported UE policy parameters to the network, allowing the network to adjust policies accordingly, thereby optimizing resource allocation.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If the network side configures URSP rules with parameters that may not be supported by the terminal, then the policy coverage is improved, but the terminal cannot execute these rules, resulting in resource waste
Solution Approach 1:
The terminal device feeds back its supported parameter types to the network device through capability indication information. This feedback mechanism enables the network to understand terminal capabilities and configure appropriate URSP rules, avoiding the waste of resources associated with configuring unsupported parameters while maintaining comprehensive policy coverage.
Solution Approach 2:
The network device changes the parameters of URSP rules based on the terminal's indicated capabilities. By adjusting which parameters are included in the policy configuration according to terminal support, the system achieves both wide policy coverage and efficient resource utilization without configuring unsupported features.
2Loss of information
If the network side sends URSP rules with all possible parameters, then the completeness of policy information is improved, but the terminal cannot recognize unsupported parameters, causing execution failure
Solution Approach 1:
The terminal provides feedback information indicating which parameter types it supports. This enables the network to send complete policy information tailored to terminal capabilities, ensuring both information completeness and reliable execution by excluding only the unsupported parameters.
Solution Approach 2:
The terminal performs preliminary capability indication before receiving URSP rules. This preliminary action allows the network to pre-filter and send only the supported parameters, ensuring that the complete policy information received by the terminal can be fully executed without recognition failures.
3Adaptability or versatility
If the terminal supports more parameter types, then the adaptability to different policies is improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The solution implements a universal capability indication mechanism where the terminal can indicate support for multiple parameter types through a standardized interface. This multi-functionality approach allows terminals to adapt to different policy requirements without increasing complexity, as the indication mechanism itself is simple and unified.

AI summary
Provided is a terminal device including a processor, a memory for storing a computer program, and a transceiver. The processor is configured to call and execute the computer program stored in the memory to send first information to a first network device through the transceiver, the first information being used to indicate at least one first parameter supported by the terminal device and/or at least one second parameter not supported by the terminal device. The at least one first parameter is related to a user equipment (UE) policy and the at least one second parameter IS related to the UE policy. There is also provided a first network device.
