1. A network (NW) comprising:
a wireless communication circuit, arranged to receive parameters from a user equipment (UE) and transmit a network-decided access traffic steering, switching and splitting (ATSSS) policy to the UE, wherein the parameters do not include performance of a 3rd generation partnership project (3GPP) access and performance of a non-3GPP access; and
an ATSSS policy decision circuit, arranged to perform ATSSS rule selection for generating the network-decided ATSSS policy, wherein the ATSSS rule selection is assisted by at least a portion of the parameters provided by the UE;
wherein after the wireless communication circuit receives the parameters from the UE, the ATSSS policy decision circuit generates the network-decided ATSSS policy according to the ATSSS rule selection assisted by said at least a portion of the parameters, and the wireless communication circuit transmits the network-decided ATSSS policy generated by the ATSSS policy decision circuit to the UE.
