A policy operation method and system based on policy and billing control architecture

Abstract

The invention discloses a policy operation method based on a policy and charging control architecture. The method comprises the following steps of through a concentration node or a partial node, receiving the request of a policy and charging control (PCC) policy, and according to the request of the PCC policy, determining the demand information of the PCC policy and user contract signing information; converting the demand information and generating the script language of the PCC policy, and through an uniform script interface, sending the script language to a policy and charging rule functionunit (PCRF) and / or a user policy contract signing attribute memory (SPR); and sending the user contract signing information to the PCRF and / or the SPR, and based on the script language and the user contract signing information, through the PCRF and / or the SPR, carrying out PCC policy contract signing operation on a target client. The invention also discloses a policy operation system based on thepolicy and charging control architecture.

Description

Technical field[0001]The invention relates to strategy operation technology, in particular to a strategy operation method and system based on a strategy and charging control architecture.Background technique[0002]The Policy and Charging Control (PCC, Policy and Charging Control) architecture is an architecture proposed by the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) after integrating policy control and flow-based charging. A technical architecture for policy control and flow charging such as QoS (Quality of Service) for packet network service data transmission. The PCC architecture works at the service data flow (SDF, Service DataFlow) level and provides functions such as policy control, charging control functions, and event reporting of service data flows. Specific device logic deployment such asfigure 1 Shown.[0003]figure 1 Is a schematic diagram of the PCC logical architecture in the prior art; such asfigure 1 Shown: Including: Policy and Charging Enforcement Fucntion (PCEF, Pol...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0026] (1) The process is not uniform:

[0027] Since the entire operation process will involve many departments, including the departments of the headquarters and the departments of the provincial company, each department has its own considerations and demands, which may lead to unclear responsibilities and poor communication. In some processes, several departments Everyone wants to be responsible, but no department is willing to be responsible for some processes, which seriously affects the operation process

[0028] (2) Policy conflict:

[0031] The functional units used by PCC are Policy and Charging Rule Function PCRF and Policy and Charging Enforcement Function PCEF. Both of them have multiple vendors. When deploying the same service, scripts from multiple vendors need to be configured separately. Unified management

[0032] (4) Difficulty in effect evaluation:

[0033] After deploying PCC-related services, it is necessary to evaluate the effect of the business. At present, only the index parameters of the business support side are screened from the business support system and other platforms to calculate and generate reports. There is no index collection on the network side, and there is no unified effect evaluation index;

[0034] (5) Difficulties in PCC business life management cycle management:

[0035] PCC-related business is scattered in multiple functional units without unified management. There is no unified entry tool for policy deployment, modification, offline, and business life cycle management
