Abstract

The embodiment of the invention provides a policy and charging control method and system and a PCRF (Policy and Charging Rules Function). The policy and charging control method comprises the following steps of: receiving a policy and charging rule request by a V-PCRF (Visited Policy and Charging Rules Function) and forwarding the policy and charging rule request to an H-PCRF (Home Policy and Charging Rules Function); receiving a final policy and charging rule generated by the H-PCRF according to home policy reference information and visited policy reference information by the V-PCRF; and returning the final policy and charging rule to policy and charging executing equipment. Moreover, the invention also provides the policy and charging control system and the PCRF. The final policy and charging rule is generated by using the H-PCRF according to the home policy reference information and the visited policy reference information, so that the problem that a visited network cannot support the final policy and charging rule is solved in the scheme. The final policy and charging rule is generated by using the H-PCRF, so that disclosure of user subscription information to the V-PCRF can be avoided.
