Abstract:
The embodiments herein relate to a method performed by a PCF node (101) for enabling user plane traffic classification in a communications system (100) supporting CUPS with multiple UPF nodes (105). The PCF node receives, from a SMF node (103), a policy request for a UE (114). The PCF node (101) obtains, from a UDR (108), an indicator indicating COMU for the UE (114), and transmits, to the SMF node (103), a policy response comprising the indicator indicating COMU.
