In the related art, UE policy may be a set of UE policies that are comprehensively generated by the home network of the UE according to all information related to UE policies, so that the UE may use the set of UE policies that are comprehensively generated under the condition that the UE belongs to different networks. For example, the UE is configured to use UE policy a in case of attribution to PLMN #1, and the UE is also configured to use UE policy a in case of attribution to PLMN # 2.
However, the above method may have the following problems:
1) In the case that the UE belongs to a certain network, the configuration in the UE policy used is redundant, resulting in configuration resource waste.
Since the UE may use the same set of UE policies in the case of belonging to different networks, the configuration of the UE policies needs to include configurations adapted to different network conditions. Therefore, in the case that the UE belongs to a certain network, the configuration in the used UE policy is redundant, resulting in configuration resource waste; in addition, when UE politics are used, some of the UE politics may be evaluated without related politics, resulting in long time spent querying the UE politics.
2) UE policy selected by the UE may not be optimal.
The set of UE policies generated in combination results in that the UE selected slice or target data network name (Data Network Name, DNN) may not be optimal, e.g., the UE in case of attribution to the target public land mobile network (Public Land Mobile Network, PLMN) #1, the UE is better selected to be slice #1, DNN #1, session and service continuity (Session and Service Continuity, SSC) mode #1, etc. when evaluating the user routing policy (UE Route Selection Policy, urs); in the case of the UE belonging to PLMN #2, the UE is more preferably selected from slice #2,DNN#2,SSC mode#2 and the like at the time of the urs evaluation, but can accept slice #1,DNN#1,SSC mode#1.
However, when the UE enters PLMN #2 after the design of the urs is integrated, the priority of the enhanced routing descriptor (Route selection descriptor, RSD) #1 corresponding to slice #1,DNN#1,SSC mode#1 is higher, which results in that the UE also selects slice #1,DNN#1,SSC mode#1 when entering PLMN #2, and thus the policy selection for the UE is not optimal.
The configuration method, the device, the first network function and the terminal of the UE policy information provided by the embodiment of the application can enable the UE to use different UE policies applicable to different networks under different roaming networks.
The method, the device, the first network function and the terminal for configuring the UE policy information provided by the embodiments of the present application are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings through some embodiments and application scenarios thereof.
