PROVIDING AN OPERATOR-ENCRYPTED PARTIAL USER EQUIPMENT ROUTE SELECTION POLICY TO USER EQUIPMENT

Presented herein are techniques to provide an operator-encrypted application specific user equipment (UE) route selection policy (URSP) to a UE via different network elements and/or distribution techniques. In one example, a method may include obtaining, by a network element, a policy object from a policy function of a mobile network operated by a mobile network operator, wherein the policy object comprises an application specific user equipment route selection policy (URSP) for an application in which the application specific URSP is encrypted by the policy function; and providing, by the network element, the policy object to a user equipment that has at least one session established with the mobile network, wherein the user equipment is to decrypt the application specific URSP to facilitate network communications for the application via the user equipment.
