TS 26.512: Clarification on use of optional properties in NetworkAssistanceSession

[davidjwbbc]

Context

TS 26.501 Clause 5.9 provides an overview of Network Assistance operations.
TS 26.512 Clauses 4.7.6 and 11.6 (and sub-clauses) provide details for a UE requesting and maintaining a NetworkAssistanceSession resource.

Clarification requested

The above clauses do not elaborate on the use of the policyTemplateId and requestedQoS properties in the NetworkAssistanceSession. It is unclear how the 5GMS AF should interpret the presence or absence of these optional property fields in M5_NetworkAssistance. createNetworkAssistanceSession and M5_NetworkAssistance.updateNetworkAssistanceSession operations.

PolicyTemplateIds appear to be related to DynamicPolicies, and not Network Assistance (and would need the ProvisioningSessionId to also be present in the NetworkAssistanceSession as the PolicyTemplateId is only unique within a provisioning session, thus requiring the tuple of (provisionSessionId, policyTemplateId) in order to uniquely identify a policy template). Is this provided as a sort of shorthand instead of providing explicit parameters in requestedQoS, or could both properties be provided at the same time?

If the requestedQoS is present should the AF attempt to apply these QoS parameters to the flows identified by serviceDataFlowInformation? Is the delivery-boost then applied relative to these parameters? What is the default if the requestedQoS property is not present?

Could we please have some clarification, possibly with use-cases for the different property combinations?
