1. A method, comprising:
receiving a registration request message from a user equipment (UE) indicating a vehicle-to-everything (V2X) Radio Access Technology (RAT) configuration supported by the UE, wherein the V2X RAT configuration comprises a V2X PC5 RAT capability, wherein PC5 indicates a capability for direct communication of the UE with another UE over a direct channel;
applying an Access and Mobility Management Function (AMF) to the registration request message to identify the V2X PC5 RAT capability;
retrieving authorization information corresponding to the UE from a Unified Data Management (UDM) repository;
applying a policy control function (PCF) to the authorization information and the V2X RAT configuration specified by the UE to determine that the UE has been authorized to communicate using the indicated V2X RAT configuration; and
in response to determining that the UE is authorized to communicate using the indicated V2X RAT configuration, transmitting V2X service authorization parameters corresponding to the indicated V2X RAT configuration to a Radio Access Network (RAN) base station servicing the UE.
