POLICY CONTROL FOR ENCAPSULATED DATA FLOWS
First Claim
1. A method for handling policy rules in wireless networks, comprising:
- receiving encapsulation information related to data flow communication from a core network gateway;
generating one or more policy rules related to the data flow communication; and
transmitting the policy rules to an access network gateway.

Abstract
Systems and methodologies are described that facilitate communicating encapsulation information for a related mobility protocol type utilized in communicating over a data flow with reduced specific implementation on the policy server to support different mobility protocol types. In this regard, encapsulation information can be transmitted to the policy server from a network gateway such that the policy server can forward the encapsulation information to a serving gateway along with policy rules related to a data flow type. The serving gateway can utilize the encapsulation information to detect and interpret the encapsulated data flow according to the policy rules. In this regard, the serving gateway can provide support (e.g. quality of service support) for the flow. The encapsulation information can relate to a mobility protocol type, an encapsulation header, an indication that encapsulation is required, parameters regarding locating an encapsulation header in a message, and/or the like.
