Abstract

La présente invention appartient au domaine des techniques de communication pour mobiles et concerne un procédé de contrôle de politique, un système, une passerelle de données et une entité de décision de politique. Le procédé comporte les étapes suivantes : une entité de décision de politique reçoit des informations relatives à un deuxième réseau d’accès, envoyées par une passerelle de données; l’entité de décision de politique associe à la passerelle une session de contrôle de politique en fonction des informations relatives au deuxième réseau d’accès et génère les informations relatives aux règles de politique en fonction des informations relatives à la session de contrôle de politique associée à la passerelle ou des informations relatives au deuxième réseau d’accès; l’entité de décision de politique envoie les informations relatives aux règles de politique à la passerelle de données. Le système comprend : une passerelle de données et une entité de décision de politique. Par l’envoi des informations relatives au réseau d’accès correspondant à la liaison de données avec l’entité de décision de politique par la passerelle de données, la présente invention permet à l’entité de décision de politique de déterminer correctement le réseau d’accès effectivement en cours d’utilisation, de façon à communiquer en conséquence à la passerelle de données la règle de politique correspondant au réseau d’accès.
