Embodiment 1
[0049] This embodiment describes the method and principle of selecting PCRF for UE.
[0050] In order to monitor a group of users, this embodiment according to the existing PCC architecture, according to image 3 The shown method selects a PCRF for the UE.
[0051] In order to ensure monitoring and control of one group of users, it is first necessary to ensure that all users belonging to the same group select the same PCRF. However, the prior art can only guarantee that the same PCRF can be selected for one user, but cannot guarantee for different users.
[0052] In this embodiment, the method to ensure that all users in the group select the same PCRF is as follows:
[0053] DRA (Diameter Routing Agent, diameter protocol routing agent) is deployed between PCEF and PCRF, or between TDF and PCRF, or between other gateways and PCRF. When establishing a session for different UEs belonging to the same group, DRA ensures that all services of multiple UEs belonging to the same mon...
Embodiment 2
[0059] This embodiment describes the function update of the network device entities participating in the present invention.
[0060] Signing information update:
[0061] Existing user subscription information needs to be updated. In addition to its own UE ID, a UE also needs to store a group ID (group ID). This information can be stored in the existing HSS, in the UE context of the MME, in the context of the SGW or in the context of the PGW, or only in the SPR or UDR in the PCC architecture.
[0062] SPR / UDR can provide the following contract information:
[0063] 1) Existing subscription information, such as services accessible to subscribers
[0064] 2) The group identifier corresponding to the current subscriber, which can be a name, number, domain name or IP address, etc.;
[0065] 3) The upper limit of business consumption corresponding to the group.
[0066] The way to save the group ID in the HSS data is shown in Table 1:

Embodiment 3
[0081] Such as Figure 4 As shown, this embodiment describes the process in which the PCEF and the PCRF monitor the group users.
[0082] This embodiment takes the signaling operation between the PCEF and the PCRF as an example, and this method is also applicable to the signaling process between the PCRF and the TDF.
[0083] Figure 4 The process shown assumes that there are two member users in the monitoring group, user 1 accesses services through PGW1 / PCEF1, and user 2 accesses services through PGW2 / PCEF2. Figure 4 The process shown includes the following steps:
[0084] In steps 401 and 402, PCRF re-allocates the upper limit of service consumption of a single user according to the upper limit of service consumption of group users in the subscription information, and sends a service consumption request message to the PCEF where each group member is located, and the message carries the newly allocated The upper limit of the business consumption of a single user.
