20120106508 | Method and System for Deleting Redundant Information of Home Policy and Charging Rules Function - The present invention discloses a method and a system for deleting redundant information of a home Policy and Charging Rule Function (PCRF). The Bearer Binding and Event Report Function (BBERF) in a visited network indicates gateway control session termination to the home PCRF through a visited PCRF after receiving a termination session triggering for determining to terminate a gateway control session between the BBERF in the visited network and the visited PCRF, and the home PCRF deletes policy control information related to the BBERF in the visited network. With the method of the present invention, the invalid session information in the home PCRF is cleared in time, which eliminates the redundancy of the home network resources and saves the home network resources. | 05-03-2012 |
20120142311 | Charging System and Method - The present invention provides a charging method, including: a mobility management network element obtaining charging policy information of a terminal from a user subscription data network element; an access network element obtaining the charging policy information of the terminal from the mobility management network element; and the access network element storing the charging policy information of the terminal, and charging for services of the terminal according to the charging policy information. Accordingly, the present invention also provides a charging system, an access network element and a mobility management network element. The technical scheme of the present invention can send the charging policy information to the radio side network element in the LIPA structure to realize the dynamic charging based on users of services; and it can cover the LTE network and the 3G network at the same time. | 06-07-2012 |
20120233324 | Method and system for implementing usage monitoring control - The present disclosure provides a method for implementing usage monitoring control, comprising: a PCRF makes a usage monitoring policy for each IP-CAN session or service data flow that shares a total allowanced usage according to the obtained total allowanced usage shared by multiple users, and the PCRF sends the usage monitoring policy to a PCEF ( | 09-13-2012 |
20120297076 | METHOD, APPARATUS AND SYSTEM FOR SELECTING POLICY AND CHARGING RULES FUNCTION ENTITY - This disclosure discloses a method, an apparatus and a system for selecting a Policy and Charging Rules Function (PCRF) entity. The method comprises: when an IP Connectivity Access Network (IP-CAN) session is established for a User Equipment (UE), the Diameter Routing Agent (DRA) receives a message from a gateway, and selects the PCRF entity for the IP-CAN session according to the main identifier in the message, wherein the UEs sharing the subscription information have the same main identifier. This disclosure can solves the problem that a conflict is caused in PCC since different PCRF entities are used for the PCC when multiple users share the subscription information. | 11-22-2012 |
20130078998 | Method and system for reporting fixed network access information - The disclosure provides a method for reporting fixed network access information, in which an Evolved Packet Data Gateway (ePDG) reports fixed network access information to a Policy and Charging Enforcement Function (PCEF), and the PCEF notifies a Policy and Charging Rule Function (PCRF) of the fixed network access information. The disclosure also provides a system for reporting fixed network access information, in which a reporting unit is configured to allow an Evolved Packet Data Gateway (ePDG) to report fixed network access information to a Policy and Charging Enforcement Function (PCEF), which notifies a Policy and Charging Rule Function (PCRF) of the fixed network access information. According to the disclosure, the fixed network access information can be reported, so that an S | 03-28-2013 |
20130094487 | Method and System for Information Transmission - The present invention discloses a method and system for information transmission. Said method includes: an Evolved Packet Data Gateway (ePDG) notifying a Policy and Charging Rules Function (PCRF) entity of the location information of a User Equipment (UE); the PCRF entity sending the location information of the UE to a Broadband Policy Control Function (BPCF) entity.

20130142046 | Policy control method and system for accessing fixed broadband access network - The disclosure provides a policy control method and a policy control system for accessing a fixed broadband access network. The policy control method includes: a FMC PF used for sensing the access of UE to a fixed broadband access network is set in a mobile network which a user requests to be accessed to; after the FMC PF receives a trigger message from an ePDG, the FMC PF requests a BPCF to establish a policy session, and the BPCF performs, policy control according to the information of the fixed broadband access network accessed by the UE. It can be seen from the method of the disclosure that when the UE is accessed to the 3GPP through the fixed broadband access network, the FMC PF senses a gateway control session establishment request message or a DHCP request message from the ePDG, so that a PCRF of the 3GPP access network accessed by the UE is triggered to send a policy session request to the BPCF. In this way, in the case that the fixed broadband access network fails to sense the access of the UE or that the fixed broadband access network does not support 3GPP-based access authentication in the conventional art where the UE is accessed to a 3GPP core network through the fixed broadband access network, QoS control is achieved for the access of the UE, and thus QoS guarantee is provided to the entire transmission path of data. | 06-06-2013 |
