Question: When multiple media flows share the same priority (indicated by a priority sharing indicator) and have the same QCI assigned, how does the PCRF modify the ARP (Allocation and Retention Priority) parameters for these PCC/QoS rules?
Option 1: The modified ARP priority is set to the lowest of the original priorities, and both ARP pre-emption capability and vulnerability are always set.
Option 2: The modified ARP priority is set to the highest of the original priorities; the ARP pre-emption capability is set if any rule has it set, and the ARP pre-emption vulnerability is set only if all rules have it set.
Option 3: The modified ARP parameters are not changed based on the priority sharing indicator; instead, each rule retains its original ARP settings.
Option 4: The PCRF randomly selects one of the media flows' original ARP priorities and applies it to all shared priority PCC/QoS rules.
Explanation: This is correct because when multiple media flows are allowed to share the same priority (as indicated by a priority sharing indicator) and have the same QCI, the PCRF's policy for modifying ARP parameters ensures efficient resource management. Specifically, setting the modified ARP priority to the highest among all relevant rules ensures that shared resources are allocated with the necessary urgency. Additionally, the approach to setting pre-emption capability (if any rule has it set) and vulnerability (if all have it set) balances between allowing pre-emptive actions when necessary and protecting flows from unwarranted interruption, thus optimizing network resource utilization and service delivery under shared priority conditions.
