Abstract:
As described herein, various nodes in a 3GPP network, including a user equipment (UE), can be used to insert metadata in uplink traffic so that the network and/or an (S)Gi-LAN can make traffic steering decisions based on the metadata. For example, the UE can insert metadata into its uplink traffic so that the services in the (S)Gi-LAN can be better leveraged. In one embodiment, network nodes are able to insert metadata that relates directly to the UE and that relates to the operating conditions of the network nodes that the UE is using to send uplink data, so that the services in the (S)Gi-LAN can be better leveraged.

Claim (Index 1):
An apparatus comprising a processor, a memory, and communication circuitry, the apparatus being connected to a network via its communication circuitry, the apparatus further comprising computer-executable instructions stored in the memory of the apparatus which, when executed by the processor of the apparatus, cause the apparatus to perform operations comprising:\n inserting metadata in an uplink message, the metadata indicative of at least one of an active timer, a periodic TAU timer, a DRX cycle length, a radio access technology (RAT) type, a status, a sleep schedule, a battery level, a connection quality, a communication schedule, a caching policy, or a power restriction; and sending the uplink message with the metadata, such that a network function or an (S)Gi-LAN can steer traffic based on the metadata.
