Feature Description
The purpose of PDU session modification procedure is to create dedicated QoS flows for a UE. There are two ways to create dedicated QoS flows with different QoS characteristics to the default QoS flow for the UE such as the:
-
UE-initiated PDU session modification
-
Network-initiated PDU session modification
The network can be AN, AMF, or PCF.
The SMF receives a UE-initiated session modification request or network-initiated session modification request to augment the PDU session of UE to either modify an existing or creating a new QoS flow suitable for the user traffic.
Note | If there is a failure during a PCF-initiated flow deletion procedure, the SMF deletes the PCC rules and communicates the details on the deleted PCC rules to UPF and PCF. |
