A method and apparatus for updating a User Equipment (UE) policy and a computer storage medium are provided. The method includes that: UE receives a first UE policy and/or first indication information from a network device; and the UE executes an operation of updating an association between an application data stream and a Protocol Data Unit (PDU) session and/or an operation of updating Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) access selection and/or an operation of updating network slice information and/or an operation of updating a PDU session based on the first UE policy and/or the first indication information.

A method for providing a translating virtual network function by a network element. The method comprises receiving by the network element a first Packet Forwarding Control Protocol (PFCP) message of a plurality of PFCP messages at a first Internet Protocol (IP) address of a plurality of IP addresses of the network element, the first IP address corresponding to a first Session Management Function (SMF) of one or more SMFs, selecting by the network element a translation method based on the first IP address on which the first PFCP message was received, translating by the network element the first PFCP message using the selected translation method into a function-based model representation of the first PFCP message, and configuring by the network element a network interface controller to implement, based on the representation of the first PFCP message, a protocol data unit (PDU) session.

The invention concerns a telecommunication system (10) and a computer-implemented method for transferring media data from a first RTC client (30) over a QoS-sensitive network (N1) using the real-time protocol (RTP) to a second RTC client (40), wherein the quality of service is based on different traffic classes and the media data contain a first media type with a first traffic class (QoS1) and a second media type with a second traffic class (QoS2), comprising the following steps: media data, which contain a first media type with a first traffic class (QoS1) and a second media type with a second traffic class (QoS2), are bundled by the first RTC client (30) into second packets (P2), in each second packet (P2), the traffic class (QoS1, QoS2) for each media type is marked in layer 4 and/or layer 5 of the real-time protocol (RTP), the second packets (P2) are transmitted in the direction of the second RTC client (40), either before or during the transfer to the network (N1), the second packets (P2) are unbundled using the markings in layer 4 and/or layer 5 of the real-time protocol (RTP) and then bundled into first packets (P1), each of which has only one of the traffic classes (QoS1, QoS2), and the first packets (P1) are transmitted over the network (N1) to the second RTC client (40).

A telecommunication system and a method for transferring media data from a first client over a QoS-sensitive network to a second client. The system and method can permit media data, which contain a first media type with a first traffic class and a second media type with a second traffic class to be bundled by the first client into second packets. In each second packet, the traffic class for each media type is marked in layer 4 and/or layer 5. The second packets can be transmitted toward the second client. Either before or during the transfer to the network, the second packets can be unbundled using the markings in layer 4 and/or layer 5 and then bundled into first packets, each of which has only one of the traffic classes. At least some of the first packets can then be transmitted over the network to the second client.
