Patent ID: 10390239

Abstract:
Techniques for establishing and implementing application-based routing policies for multi-mode wireless communication devices are described. In some examples, information particular to the profile and platform configuration of the UE, including an identifier of an operating system, is communicated to an Access Network Discovery Function (ANDSF) server. The ANDSF server may provide an inter-system routing policy (ISRP) to handle appropriate network offloading actions for the particular application and device configuration. In some examples, the ISRP may be specific to flow-based or non-seamless based traffic offloading from certain software applications and include nodes to define routing rules based on an operating system identifier and operating system-specific application identifier. The policy may be propagated from the ANDSF server and implemented in multi-mode UE mobile computing devices in connection with offloading policies established in a 3GPP LTE/LTE-A Evolved Packet Core network architecture.
