Embodiment Construction

[0022] Referring now to the drawings, in which the same reference numerals refer to the same components or steps, broad aspects of various exemplary embodiments are disclosed.

[0023] figure 1 An exemplary subscriber network 100 for providing various data services is shown. The exemplary subscriber network 100 may be a telecommunications network or other network that provides access to various services. The exemplary subscriber network 100 may include a user equipment 110, a base station 120, an evolved packet core (EPC) 130, a packet data network 140, and an application node (AN) 150.

[0024] The user equipment 110 may be a device that communicates with the packet data network 140 for providing data services to end users. Such data services may include, for example, voice communication, text messaging, multimedia streaming, and Internet access. More specifically, in various exemplary embodiments, the user equipment 110 is a personal or laptop computer, a wireless email device,...

Abstract

Various exemplary embodiments relate to a method and related network node and machine-readable storage medium including a policy and charging rules node (PCRN) receiving a plurality of related service requests from different devices. The PCRN may proceed to generate a policy and charging control (PCC) rule based on at least one service request and other information stored in the PCRN if a mate service request does not arrive during the duration of a waiting timer. If the mate service request arrives subsequent to the expiry of the waiting timer, the PCRN may then generate a subsequent PCC rule to replace the previously generated rule, with the new PCC rule incorporating information from both of the mate service requests.

Description

Technical field [0001] In summary, the various exemplary embodiments disclosed herein relate to policy and charging in telecommunications networks. Background technique [0002] As the demand for different types of applications in mobile telecommunications networks increases, service providers must constantly upgrade their systems to reliably provide this expanded functionality. Systems that were once simply designed for voice communication have evolved into general-purpose network access points to provide access to a variety of applications, including text messaging, multimedia streaming, and general Internet access. In order to support such applications, providers have built new networks on top of their existing voice networks, resulting in less-optimized solutions. As seen in the second and third generation networks, voice services must be carried on dedicated voice channels and directed to the circuit-switched core, while other business communications are transmitted and dir...
