Abstract

A policy and charging control method based on the current time zone of the user is provided by the invention, which includes that: a Policy and Charging Rules Function (PCRF) subscribes the time zone change event of a user equipment from a Policy and Control Enforcement Function (PCEF) or a Bearer Binding and Event Reporting Function (BBERF); when the user equipment moves to another time zone, the PCEF or BBERF reports the time zone change event and the parameters of the current time zone of the user equipment to the PCRF after detecting that the time zone change event of the user equipment occurs; the PCRF reconstitutes the Policy and Charging Control (PCC) rules for the current time zone of the user equipment, after receiving the reported time zone change event and parameters of the current time zone of the user equipment. Compared with the existing technology, the invention could enable the PCRF to constitute a more exact policy and charging rules according to the different current time zone of the UE.

Description

The policy and control method and system before the user

Wood field

This is related to the communication field, Hugh, involving the third generation of partners (dGe e a o epp Oec, 3GPP) packet system, in particular, the strategy and control methods and systems that the user is in front of.

Background

In 3rd Generation Partnership 7 (3GPP Reease7), strategies and functions are governed by policies and controls ( o cy h g gCo o, CC). CC is a functional framework of multiple connections. For example, it can be used in the universal communication system (T te es a RadoAccess ewok, TRA4 ) full communication system (Goba Sysem) O ob eComm ca o , G ) /G enhancement ( G ) connection, and interworking (1-A).

CC has major functions, namely, policy control functions and functions. 1 CC's Hugh Frame, each of the CC functions shown in the following 1 and its interface functions.

With pp ca o F c o (AF), provide and use each other, and the resources used by each resource need to be controlled. And each of the information will be controlled by the policy control rule function ( o cy g gR esF c o , ). If the strategies of the various information are consistent, then accept, otherwise, reject, and accept the same in the opposite. , can be returned to each user ( se Eq pme , E). The same interface is the Rx interface.

The policy control rule function Hugh ( ) is CC, responsible policy decision And the formulation of rules. The PCRF provides the control rules for each.

Control includes and includes ( a gCo o ), each ( a yO e Vce, Qo ) control, and rules based on it. The PCRF implements its policies and rules, PC F, and C requires the rules and user information. The PCRF formulates policies and rules based on the AF and each phase of the message, and the user (S bsc p o of eRepos oy, PR) occupies information about the user policy and the control information PC F bearer phase.

,

PC F ( o cya dCo o E o ceme F c o ) - slightly and 4 s, usually within (G e-Way, GW), carries the policies and rules formulated by the PCRF. The PC F follows the filters in the rules of the PCRF and executes the policies and rules established by the PCRF. In the bearer establishment, PC F follows the rules of PCR Qo ,

Execution control of AF. The rules of the PCRF, the PC F execution phase, can be either at or . If it is, then PC F needs to be in the system (eC g gsysem,

C) Credit management. , PC F and system (e C g g Sysem, OFC) exchange phase information. The same interface of the PC F PCRF is the Gx interface, the interface of the C is the Gy interface, and the interface of the OFC is the Gz interface. As far as PC F is concerned, GPR support (G) in GPR and acke aG eway (P G) users (PR) in GPR store user policy and control information related to policy control. The same connection between PR and C is the p interface.

The control and management of user credit in the mode of system (C) and PC F.

System (FC) PC F operates in the completion mode. In the existing wood, the CCF under the PCRF contains the same indication of the PC F in the installation/CC rule, the deletion/CC rule, and may include the same indication of re-introducing the new CC rule to the PCRF. Use, CC can Different users in Tianzhong.

For example, in the middle of the night or early morning, the instructions in the CC rules under PC F, install / have lower rate CC rules, user policies and controls. In , PC F removes / CC rules, while installing / has a higher rate of CC rules. Since it is not, it is not possible to make rules in the body.譬 , which occupies the user’s former location

In the same vein, CC has established a PC F under CC rules, instructing PC F to install the rules at 8:00 am, and delete the rules at 22:00. Born, not in the same, the rule must be the same 8:00 rule, delete the rule at 22:00. Not the same as the one. In the existing wood, the new one where C is located is also the strategy and control of the former.

2 Reease8 CC, Gxx interface to bearer and event function (eae B d ga dEve Repo gF co, BB RF) P connection (P-CA) phase Qo rule, through Gx interface to PC F P-CA phase CC rules. The BB functions include bearers, uplink bearers, and events, usually present in the middle, P V (voved acke Sysem), e V gG eway (each), eP G (voved acke a G eway group teaching) and Non-3GPP connection to the P system. Under the Re-8, the same can not be where,

Pre-policy and control.

Content

Solve the existing wood, this is the strategy and control method and system that the user is in front of.

This provides the strategies and control methods that the user is in front of, including

Each user goes to another, PC F or to each user's event, the up event and the user's previous location

The received events and the user's previous location, the user's previous location, re-strategize and control the PCC) rules.

Steps, on the strategy and control method, the steps to the PC F user each event include

In the P-connected P-CA setup, the P-CA setup message contains events to the PC F event, the PC F receives the installation event, and the event or, in the P-CA repair, provides the message in the policy and rules. The event is included in the event handler of PC F, PC F receives the installation event, and the event

Method includes

The fans will re-enact the CC rules under PC rules, PC F, PC F received, installed or re-enacted.

In the step, the upper policy and the control method, the PC F is in the P-CA establishment, and the PC F is in the P-CA establishment message.

The PC F receives the next event, and then the P-CA repair process, to the previous user

In the step, on the policy and control method, the PC F goes up in the P-CA repair process, the PC F in the next event, and the policy and the rule provide the message in which the user is located before. Steps, on the policy and control method, the steps to the user's various events include

In the P-CA establishment, the event is included in the event handler that controls the establishment of the message to the BB, and the BB receives the installation event to the event or

In the P-CA revision, the control and o rules provide messages to the eventor under the BB, and the BB receives the installation event to the event.

Method includes

The user is re-established Qo rules, and the re-established Qo rules are under BB. The CC rules will be installed in the previous P-CA under the redefined CC rules. BB receives, installs or re-installs. Developed Qo rules, PC F received, installed or redefined CC rules.

In the step, the upper policy and the control method, the BB is established in the P-CA, and the user is in the direction of the control establishment instruction message.

Or, the BB receives the next event, and the re-control process is directed to the user's previous location.

In the step, the upper strategy and the control method, the BB is in the P-CA repair process, and the received event is in the control and o rule providing message.

Each of the previous ones.

Steps, strategies and control methods, The user's previous user is the same as the previous Green's offset, and the 3GPP users each 3GPP T ezo e AVP.

This is provided near the user's strategy and control system, including the policy control rule function, and the policy and execution function, PC F).

Including the event in the event device of PC F, and receiving the PC F rule on the PC F and the user before the user, the user re-establishes the policy and controls the PCC) rules, and will re-establish the CC rule under the PC. F

The PC F receives the event installation event, the user's various events, the upstream event and the user's previous location, and the CC rules that are installed or re-established upon receipt of the re-established CC rules.

This provides a system for further control and control of the user before, including the policy control rule function, P), policy and execution function, and the load and event function, BB ( )

To the PC F policy and control PCC) rules, to the BB under each (Qo) rule, to the BB event and which contains the event and the event on the BB and the user's previous location, the user re-established the CC Rules and Qo rules, will be re-defined under the Qo rule BB, will be re-established under the CC rules PC F

The BB receives the event installation event, the user's various events, the up event and the user's previous location, and the Qo rule that was installed or re-enacted upon receipt of the re-established Qo rule. CC rules for PC F installation or under. This method provides God's approach to the user in strategy and control.

Each user goes to another, PC F or to the user's various events, the event and the user's previous location.

The solution provided on PC F or BB, PC F or BB event, goes to C. You can do the same as before, repair the CC or o rules included in the installation / or delete / CC or Qo rules with the same instructions. Compared with the existing wood, it can make more strategic rules than before.

The other features of this book will be explained in the description, and some of the explanations are easy, or understand. The purpose and other details of this document can be found in the descriptions, requirements, and attachments.

The understanding of this step is provided, and the part of the description is used to explain the limitations of this and the present. In 1 is the phase of the Reease7 CC

2 is the phase of the Reease8 CC

3 is the process of this

4 is the process of this. Preferred way of the present

The PCRF sends events to the PC F or BB RF users C F or BB RF to the user's events, to the PCRF events and the user's previous location. Can be in strategy and control

Where the former is, and the PCRF can re-establish CC rules for each user.

The following will be combined with this Hugh.

This provides a method for the strategy and control of the PCRF user before it can be used in the CC of Reease 7 and the CC of Reease 8.

TRA or - TRA (TRA Reease 7, E- TRA Reease 8 and -GW and P-GW with GTP.), PCRF T event ve gge), CF event and previous process, 3, Method following steps

Step 301: After seeing TRA or - TRA, PC F receives the setup P-CA message. Step 302, C F establishes a message to the PCRF P-CA, where the message is located before.

In the previous offset of G T Gee wch ea Tm, the information in the message was established by the 15th sheep "3GPP users each 3GPP--Tmezo eAVP.

Step 303: If the PC F does not have the user's phase information, the PCRF sends the user phase information PCRF, CRF to the PR message, and the CRF row stores the phase information of the user, and then directly performs step 304, step 304, CRF policy decision.

Step 305, the CRF establishes a message to the PC F P-CA, in the message CC rules for policy decision making (including o rules and rules) and events, where the CC rules contain the same indication that the CC rules were installed/or deleted/lived before, and the information in the message sheep "event (ve -T gge AVP) ) "Include Tmezo e Ch ge" event (eve gge ) install / indicate installation or, in CC rules, install, on the PC F predetermined CC rules, then. Delete/indicate delete or, in the CC rule, delete the CC rule scheduled on PC F. In the other, if the PC F is not in the 302, then the PC F receives the T ezo e C ge event in 305, and the P-CA repair process is required to go up.

Step 306, if the CC rule does not have the same indication, the PC F can immediately install the /CC rule. If the CC rule has the same indication, then the PC F is in the same installation/CC rule as the indication. Installation with PC F includes Tmezo e Ch ge event, return message to this step, establish P-CA phase and each.

Step 307, in, born, and the previous place was born. The PC F receives or events including the instructions of the former and the previous

The existing wood has specified the former

Step 308, C F direction policy and rule message, message

Ve-T gge AVP, AVP includes Tmezo e Ch ge event, the same as before

Same as , in , can be before the offset of G T , to 15 介 sheep PP- -Tmezo eAVP

Step 309, where the former is re-established CC rules, and the repairs include the CC rules to install / or delete / live the same instructions

The repair of CC rules can be repaired, or the repair of the previous strategy.

Step 310, returning a policy and rule message to the PC F, repairing CC rules

In step 311, if the CC rule does not have the same indication, the PC F can immediately install / CC, and the CC rule has the same indication, and the PC F returns the message in the same installation/CC rule as the indication.

In other cases, it can also be established in P-CA, and PCRF has no events to PC F users. But in the same, because of the user

For reasons such as strategy or strategy, PCRF P-CA repairs the event to PC F. The PCRF provides messages to the PC F policies and rules, and includes the T ezo e Chage event in the message information ve -T gge AVP of the message. C F installation event, in the policy and rule provision message,

The former PCRF PCRF can be updated on the previous CC revision CC PC F. PC F event, to, on it" Steps 307-31

This provides the strategy and control method for the other PCRF users. In the CC of Reease8, J-TR is connected and -GW and P-GW are connected to P Pv6 or trusted non-3GPP.

Pv6 or P Pv6.

In this, the PCRF event, the BB RF server and the previous process, 4, the method includes the following steps

Step 401, seeing - TRA or trusted non-3GPP access, BB receives the establishment of P-CA message

Step 402: The BB RF establishes an indication message to the PCRF control, where the message is located.

In , you can get the offset of the G T before the 15 - puppies PP--Tmezo eAVP.

Step 403, the PCRF has no user phase information, PCRF to PR The message, PR will save the user's information, and the line C has the user's phase information, then directly execute step 404.

Step 404, P policy decision, including formulating CC rules and o rules, and events

Step 405, establishing a message to the BB control, the Qo rules and events of the policy decision making in the message

The Qo rule contains the same indication that the Qo rule was previously installed/or deleted/lived. The event handler contains a Tmezo e Ch ge event, which is ve -T gge AVP . The Qo rule does not have the same indication, then the BB can immediately install the /Qo rule. If the Qo rule has the same indication, then the BB is in the same installation/Qo rule as the installation, and the Tmezo e Ch ge is installed.

In the other part, in step 402, BB does not go up. In step 405, BB receives the T ezo e C ge event, and the control flow to be controlled is directed to the previous one.

Steps 406, 404 are the same, BB establishes a P-CA message to the PC F. Step 407, C F establishes an indication message to the P-CA.

Step 408, the CC rule message PC F will be formulated. The CC rule does not have the same indication, and the PC F can immediately install the /CC rule. If there is a same indication in the CC rule, then the PC F is in the same installation/CC rule as the indication.

Step 409, C F returns to BB to establish a P-CA message.

Step 410, BB returns to establish a P-CA message.

In this step, the P-CA phase is established and each.

Step 411, where, is born, and the previous place is born, and the BB receives or the event includes the indication that the previous place was born and the previous place

Step 412, the BB direction control and QoS message, the event ve -T gge AVP in the message, the AVP includes the Tmezo e C ge event, the same as before At the same time, you can move the GT before the offset to 15 GPP 3GPP--Tmezo eAVP.

Step 413, where the former is re-established CC rules and Qo rules, including the CC and Qo rules to install / or delete / live the same instructions, C control and Qo rules message will be repaired Qo rules BB, BB requirements line installation /

Step 414, providing a message to the PC F return policy and rule, and repairing the CC rule

In step 415, if the CC rule does not have the same indication, the PC F can be installed immediately/CC, and the CC rule has the same indication, and the PC F is in the same installation/CC rule as the indication. In other cases, in the P-CA, there are no events for the BB users. But in the same, because of the user

Or strategy, etc., P-CA repair process to BB

User events. A message is provided to the PC F control and the Qo rule, and the T ezo e Ch ge event is included in the message information Eve-T gge AVP. The BB install event, in the control and Qo rule provides the message, the previous one. Probably on the previous CC and Qo rules, PC F and BB are updated respectively. BB in the event, to, on the process steps 411-415, the system and control system provided before the user, the system includes the policy control rule function, and the policy and execution function, the PC F), including the policy control rule. Function Hugh P) and strategy, executive function Hugh PC F) and bearer and event function Hugh BB), where

Go to the PC F or BB policy and control PCC) rules, go to the BB under each (Qo) rule, go to the PC F or BB and include the event and the event on the PC F or BB and the user's previous Parameters, the user's previous location re-established CC rules and Qo rules, will be re-defined Qo Under the rules, the CC rules will be re-established under the PC F PC F under the event installation event, to the user with each event, the up event and the user before the previous and in the re-established CC rules, installed or Re-established CC rules.

BB receives the event installation event, has the user's various events, the up event and the user's previous location, and after receiving the re-established o rule, the installation or re-enactment of the o rule, the field of wood, on Each step or step of the present invention may be a general-purpose device, which may be concentrated on the device of the sheep, or distributed on the same component as the multiple devices. Alternatively, they may use programs executable by the device, but they may be stored in The storage device is executed by the device, or they are separately made into respective integrations, or many or steps of them are integrated into sheep. This is not limited to any specific combination of hardware and software.

The above is not used to limit the book. In this field, Mudong said that there can be more and more. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, etc. made within the spirit and principles of this article are included in this warranty. Compared with the existing wood, this can make the PCRF different from the previous one, and formulate more strategic rules.
