Problems solved by technology

For example, when the government regulates and controls, it is necessary to prohibit users from accessing the Internet, and the rule defined by the operator in PCRF is that users can use the rate of 2Mbps to access the Internet. There is a conflict between these two rules, which makes PCRF unable to implement specific control functions.

Embodiment 1

[0033] figure 1 It is a flow chart of the policy and charging control method provided by Embodiment 1 of the present invention. Such as figure 1 As shown, the policy and charging control method provided in this embodiment can be specifically applied to the policy and charging control under the PCC framework. The policy and charging control method provided in this embodiment specifically includes:

[0034] Step A10, the first policy and charging control entity PCRF receives the second policy and charging rule sent by the second PCRF and the priority of the second policy and charging rule, wherein the second policy and charging rule Generated by the second PCRF according to the second decision reference information and the type information of the policy and charging enforcement entity PCEF;

[0035] Specifically, the first PCRF may be a PCRF deployed by an operator, and the PCEF may be a GPRS Gateway (Gateway GPRS Support Node, referred to as GGSN). Inspection (DPI for short...

Embodiment 2

[0044] figure 2 It is a flow chart of the policy and charging control method provided by Embodiment 2 of the present invention. Such as figure 2 As shown, the policy and charging control method provided in this embodiment adds step A30 on the basis of the policy and charging control method provided in Embodiment 1.

[0045] Specifically, before step A10, before the first policy and charging control entity PCRF receives the second policy and charging rule sent by the second PCRF and the priority of the second policy and charging rule, it may specifically include the following steps :

[0046] Step A30, the first PCRF obtains the type information of the PCEF according to the credit control request sent by the PCEF, determines first decision reference information according to the credit control request, and according to the first decision reference information and the type information to generate the first policy and charging rules.

[0047] The first policy and charging ru...

Embodiment 3

[0061] image 3 It is a flow chart of the policy and charging control method provided by Embodiment 3 of the present invention. Such as image 3 As shown, the policy and charging control method provided in this embodiment can be specifically applied to the policy and charging control under the PCC framework, and can be implemented in conjunction with the policy and charging control method provided in Embodiment 1 or Embodiment 2. The specific implementation process This will not be repeated here.

[0062] The policy and charging control method provided in this embodiment specifically includes:

Abstract

Embodiments of the present invention provide a policy and charging control method, entity, and system. The policy and charging control method includes the first policy and charging control entity PCRF receiving the second policy and charging rule and the second PCRF sent by the second PCRF. The priority of the second policy and charging rule; the first PCRF determines the current policy and charging rule according to the priority and sends it to the PCEF. The policy and charging control method, entity and system provided by the embodiments of the present invention avoid the defect of conflicts between rules caused by setting multiple rules in the first PCRF, and improve the flexibility and reliability of the PCRF.

Description

technical field [0001] Embodiments of the present invention relate to communication technologies, and in particular to a policy and charging control method, entity and system. Background technique [0002] With the advancement of mobile operators' third-generation mobile communication technology (3rd-Generation, 3G for short) and network construction, the Internet has achieved tremendous development in the wireless field. In order to better guide the construction of the charging support system in the 3G environment, The 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP for short) defines a policy and charging control (Policy and Charging Control, PCC for short) framework, A policy is generated by a policy and charging control entity (Policy and Charging Rules Function, PCRF for short), and a policy is executed by a policy and charging enforcement entity (Policy and Charging Enforcement Function, PCEF for short). [0003] Operators widely deploy PCRF in wireless communication service...
