5.4.15 Packet Rate enforcement

5.4.15.1 General

Packet rate enforcement refers to the process of limiting the rate of uplink and/or downlink packets allowed to be sent for a PDN connection or a PDU session.

Packet rate enforcement shall be used to support:

- APN rate control for UE's all PDN connections for a given APN in EPC, see 3GPP TS 23.401 [14] and 3GPP TS 23.502 [29]. APN rate control is enforced across N4 interface only for 5GC interworking with EPC scenario (see clause 4.3 in 3GPP TS 23.501 [28];

- Small data rate control for a PDU session in 5GC, see 3GPP TS 23.501 [28], 3GPP TS 23.502 [29];

- Serving PLMN rate control, for downlink traffic, see 3GPP TS 23.401 [14] and 3GPP TS 23.501 [28].
