    摘要: Techniques for supporting policy control and charging (PCC) functions in a wireless communication network are described. In one design, a Policy Control and Charging Rules Function (PCRF) may receive a request from a first network entity (e.g., a home agent) to establish a PCC session for a user equipment (UE) accessing the first network entity using a mobility protocol (e.g., Mobile IP). The PCRF may determine the mobility protocol used by the UE based on an IP-CAN Type parameter included in the request. The PCRF may determine PCC rules for the PCC session based on the mobility protocol and may send the PCC rules to the first network entity. The first network entity may apply the PCC rules on packets for the PCC session and may count each packet for charging. A second network entity may forward the packets but would not count these packets for charging.

    摘要: Systems and methodologies are described that facilitate tunneling within wireless communication systems. Flow identification information is dynamically generated for data flows within a communication system. This flow identification information assists in determining appropriate flow specific policies to be applied with respective data flows. The flow identification information along with the flow specific policies can be communicated to an access mechanism which transmits the data flows in accordance with the flow specific policies. Different aspects relate to using source addresses in combination with the flow identification information for identifying different IP flows originating at a plurality of sources. The flow identification information also facilitates in verifying if different flows are transmitted in accordance with appropriate rules. The generated data flows are transmitted with respective flow identification information in order to facilitate the verification process.

    摘要: Systems and methodologies are described that facilitate inter-system handover in a wireless communication system. Various aspects described herein provide for handover techniques that enable a target system to be prepared by a mobile device via a source system in order to minimize specific changes required to source system and/or target system. Techniques are described herein in which the radio link of a source system can be utilized to tunnel signaling messages which are in a format understood by a destination node in a target system. Further, fast inter-access handover can be facilitated by establishing a simple generic transmission tunnel between respective network nodes in source and target systems that handle intra-system mobility and providing a Layer 2 (L2) tunneling mechanism over the radio interface of each involved system technology.
