The grouping of 1 is shown in the diagram 2 The control of the strategy and the control are shown in the schematic diagram of the 3rd version of the basics.

5 The basic indication of Liben

The preferred way of this

In the following, in conjunction with the wood scheme provided by this example, the third generation partner (3GPP, 3d Ge eaoe shp Poec) grouping system (EP, Evoved acke Sysem) includes deductive universal mobile communication system ( E- TRA Evoved ve sa Te es a Rado Access ewo ) Management Hugh ( , ob ya ageme E ) each ( -GW, Sev gGaewa ), group teaching (P-GW or P GW, acke aa ewokGaeway) users each ( omeS bsc Be eve ) 3GPP (AAA4, A he ca o A ho za oad Acco ) each (in the middle), policy and rule functions (PCRF, o cy ahg gR esF co ) and other support. In P system, strategy and The control (PCC o cy ad Ch gg Co o ) is part of it. 2, CC in the P "receivable distribution, including CRF is the strategy and rules" Hugh, strategy and execution Hugh (CF, o cya dChag gE o ceme F co ) exists in the P-GW, and the bearer and event function (BB RF, Be e B dgad Eve Repo F co ) can exist in the -GW, and each function is used. Hugh (A, App ca o F co ) exists in ( P, ee ooco ) and each, user

(SPR, S bsc p o o eRepos oy) can be combined. In 3GPP, P can be found by (A, Access o ame). Usually, each user ( ) is connected to P (P-CA, PCo ec v yAccess ewo). The P-CA and the R (R4T, RadoAccessType) are used together by the P-CA.

(Example 3GPP or W A, etc.), P-CA 3GPP or 3GPP2 connection, the need to rely on RAT connection (example 3GPP connection, TRA or - TRA element). 2, CC in all 3GPP P-CA, PCRF main responsibility policy and rule formulation, through the Gx interface will be formulated under the CC policy and rules PC F, C F installation, implementation of CC strategy, upper phase event, system interaction information.

The PCRF Gxx interface will be combined with each other (Qo, Q a yO Sevce) rules. BB RF, BB RF does not interact with the system, and only bears the load and phase events. The AF Rx interface provides the information to the PCRF, and the PR stores the user's information. The PCRF can p-interface the information to the PR user. The PC F Gy interface will be in the information system (O C O e C g g yse ), the information will be passed through the Gz interface.

(FCC, O eChag gSysem) In the CC, the PCRF can be the underground CC policy PC F, and the policy information contains the information of Qo and . The CC strategy is formulated by the combined phase information provided by the PCRF, the bearer phase information on the PC F, and the information of the users in the PR. In the present description, PCRF PCRF is in phase information, Information about the phase of OFC and / or OFC. The following is a detailed description. What is needed is that CC is used in the P system, but it is not limited to this. In other CC communication, the method and process are similar.

In the above description, 3, in the upper system, the management method of the phase information, 4 shown in step 401, and each of the CC rules succeed, the functional flow step 402, in each execution, ( GW) Phase information VPCRF (ie PCRF) which may be PC F and/or BB RF Step 403, information on the VPCRF to VOFC (ie OFC) phase on the information that satisfies the phase.

Step 404: On the information of the phase, the information of the VPCRF to the PCRF (ie, PCRF) phase.

Information, or it can be information in the sheep format

In the above steps 403 and 404, the information on the phase can be (1) and each traffic is sent to the pre-flow example, and the information of the GPR traffic to 0.5, the upper phase is configured.

(2) Each of the executions is in the previous example, and the information in the same phase as 2 is configured. (3) The unified system is the same as the previous example, and the information in the same phase is configured.

(4) The implementation of each rate, in the implementation and use of the segmentation method, the core and the rate of the same, and each rate. In the implementation and each, the information of each phase is configured.

(5) Information update, including location update, update, update or P-CA update

(6) and each. Step 405: The information of the CRF to the OFC (that is, the OFC) phase is executed in the same manner. Step 402 40 Step 406: Execute each of the information to the VPCRF and the information of all the phases, and the VPCRF and each

Step 407 408: The VPCRF communicates with all the information of the VOFC and the CRF. In step 409, the information of all the phases of the PCRF to the OFC is unified. In the system provided, the message is received in the direction, the receiver can message, and the status of the message is received. Example, VPCRF

P phase information, CRF received

Phase information , message VPCR

The communication of the message is explained by the teachings, but it is not limited to this. The group and the teachings of the P-CA are all taught and taught, or all of them are taught. The method and process are similar, this is no longer the case.

In the above description, 5, in the upper system, the management method of the phase information, 6 shown in step 601, and each of the CC rules succeed, the functional flow step 602, in the execution of each, on Phase information VPCRF where RF step 603, information on the phase of the phase, VPCRF to phase P information

" .

The information can also be the information of the sorted sheep format.

Including

(1) And each flow rate to the pre-flow example, configured to execute the information of each GPR flow to 0.5, the upper phase.

(2) Execute each of them in the same way as before, and configure the information on the same level as 2 . (3) The system is the same as the previous example, and the configuration is the same.

" .

(4) The implementation of each rate case, in the implementation of the use of the segmentation method, the core and the rate of the same, and each rate. Executed and each In the middle, the information of each phase is configured.

(5) Information update, including location update, update, update or P connection (P-C update)

(6) and each. Step 604: On the information satisfying the phase, the PC F is similar to the information of the PCRF phase, wherein the PC F is in the phase information of the phase of the PCRF, which is no longer. Step 605: Information of the PCRF to the OFC phase, wherein the phase information includes information of the phases of the VPCRF and the PC F to the PCRF.

Step 602 603 and step 604 are mutually independent, and there is no fixed first order. In the respective executions, in step 602, step 606, in step S606, the information of all the phases of the VPCRF and each phase is passed, and the information of all the VPCRF and each step 607 and the VPCRF to the PCRF are communicated. In step 608, the information of all phases of the PC F to the CRF is transmitted, and the information of the CRF and all the steps 609 and PCRF to the OFC are communicated. In the system provided, it is received in the direction, and the receiver can pass. Example, VPCRF to PCRF

The phase information, the PCRF receives the phase information, the message, and the information of the VPCRF phase is successful. The message communication and the teaching instructions, However, it is not limited to this, and all of the groups in the P-CA, and all of them, or all of them, are no longer due to methods and procedures.

In the above, the information of the VPCRF to the P phase, 5 in other, the PCRF can also be the information to the P phase, under the policy, policy update and other functions, this is no longer. The method provided by the PCRF belongs to the information of the phase between the PCRF and the complete information, and
