1. An apparatus comprising:
a transceiver that communicates with a gateway function in a non-3GPP access network; and
a processor that:
receives, from the gateway function, a create security association request for each of at least one security association, wherein each create security association request comprises additional Quality of Service (“QoS”) information for the security association;
reserves, for each create security association request, at least one access resource in the non-3GPP access network based on the additional QoS information; and
sends a create security association response to the gateway function for each create security association request, each create security association response indicating whether a corresponding security association is accepted.
