TL;DR: In this paper, a method for selecting a policy and charging rules function entity in the non-roaming scenario includes the following steps: when a Diameter routing agent DRA receives an indication message of the IP connectivity access network IP-CAN session establishment, the indication message is forwarded to a PCRF according to the related relationship which is set up and saved for allocating the policy and charge rules function PCRF entity to the IP CAN session.
Abstract: A method for selecting a policy and charging rules function entity in the non-roaming scenario includes the following steps: when a Diameter routing agent DRA receives an indication message of the IP connectivity access network IP-CAN session establishment, the indication message is forwarded to a PCRF according to the related relationship which is set up and saved for allocating the policy and charging rules function PCRF entity to the IP-CAN session; and the corresponding policy and charging control PCC policy, which is made for the IP-CAN session by the PCRF, is forwarded to the provider's IP application function AF and the network element, which has policy and charging enforcement function, corresponding to the IP-CAN session.

17 Dec 2010TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present an implementation of policy and/or charging control for an IP Connectivity Access Network session established for a user, that enables the user to select one of several Quality or Service levels, and an associated charging rate, that can be provided to the user for an identified traffic type that is being sent over the IP-CAN session.
Abstract: The present invention relates to the implementation of policy and/or charging control for an IP Connectivity Access Network session established for a user, that enables the user to select one of several Quality or Service levels, and an associated charging rate, that can be provided to the user for an identified traffic type that is being sent over the IP-CAN session. A set of Policy and Charging Control rules that apply the selected QoS level and the associated charging rate are then generated and applied to traffic of the identified type that is sent over the IP-CAN session.

16 Feb 2010TL;DR: In this paper, a method of facilitating a communication session between a user terminal and an application function over an IP Connectivity Access Network in which a mobile IP-based mobility protocol is used is provided.
Abstract: According to the present invention there is provided a method of facilitating a communication session between a user terminal and an Application Function over an IP Connectivity Access Network in which a mobile IP-based mobility protocol is used. The method comprises, if it is determined that the Quality of Service rules for the communication session cannot be installed or enforced due to a limitation on the resources available in the Access Network, reporting this to the Application Function together with information on the available resources.

20 Jun 2006TL;DR: In this article, a P-CSCF or AF included therein is amended to allow the establishment of a signalling session for subscription to notification of bearer level events for a signalling IP flow, and new processing rules are required at the AF and PCRF for handling the signalling session, the notification of events and the termination of the signaling session.
Abstract: Being aware of a loss of signalling bearer transport through an IP Connectivity Access Network is an important issue. Therefore, the present invention relies on amending the Policing and Charging Control model with means to provide the IMS infrastructure with subscriptions to and notifications about signalling session events detected on the signalling IP flow transported through the bearer layer. To this end, a P- CSCF, or AF included therein, is amended to allow the establishment of a signalling session for subscription to notification of bearer level events for a signalling IP flow. Apart from that, new processing rules are required at the AF and PCRF for handling the signalling session, the notification of events and the termination of the signalling session.
