Abstract:
Systems and methods discussed herein are directed to allocating an IP address to a requesting UE based on an IP index as a part of a policy rule, such as a policy and charging control (PCC) rule from a policy control function (PCF) of a communication network. The IP index may be one of a plurality of IP indices each of which specifies a different pool of IP addresses compatible with a different service associated with the UE.
