Abstract

L'invention concerne un procédé d'établissement d'une sous-session S9. Une fonction Règles de politique et de facturation dans un réseau local (H-PCRF) déclenche une fonction Règles de politique et de facturation dans un réseau visité (V-PCRF) pour établir une sous-session S9. Le procédé est mis en oeuvre comme suit: la H-PCRF envoie à la V-PCRF des informations initiales relatives à l'établissement de la sous-session S9; la V-PCRF reçoit lesdites informations initiales; génère des informations relatives à la sous-session S9 en fonction desdites informations initiales; et établit la sous-session S9. Dans la présente invention, la H-PCRF déclenche la V-PCRF pour établir une sous-session S9 en cas d'absence d'interface entre la V-PCRF et la H-PCRF.
