Method and system for user plane traffic characteristics and network security

This invention describes a system for a network to act like a custom security guard for individual user devices. It allows the network to set specific rules for how a user's data traffic should behave, such as limits on data volume, connection times, or even location. If the user's traffic breaks any of these predefined rules, the system flags it as a violation and takes a specific action. Notably, the system is particularly designed to monitor traffic that is not protected by encryption or integrity checks.

Why it matters: Filed before the widespread deployment of 5G and the explosion of specialized IoT and industrial networks, this invention's focus on monitoring unencrypted user plane traffic, as specified in the claims, has gained new relevance. These emerging network environments often feature devices and protocols where unencrypted traffic is common, making granular anomaly detection critical for security and performance.
