Methods, apparatuses, system, and related computer program product for user equipment access
First Claim
1. A method, comprising:
- receiving with a network device, prior to network session initiation, access information relating to a terminal and a first network entity of a network external to a currently visited network of the terminal, the access information being received from the terminal over an internet protocol multimedia subsystem user plane below an internet protocol multimedia subsystem control plane and relating to network session initiation for accessing the first network entity, and the receiving being performed based on the internet protocol multimedia subsystem control plane; and
configuring, with the network device, in the network prior to network session initiation relating to accessing the first network entity, the internet protocol multimedia subsystem user plane based on the access information, wherein the configuring comprises;
establishing network traffic policy information based on the received access information, andactivating policy enforcement-based network traffic routing between the terminal and the first network entity based on the established network traffic policy information.
