    摘要: A method, apparatus, and machine readable storage medium is disclosed for handling Network-Request-Support (NRS) and Bearer Control Mode (BCM) at a Policy and Charging Rules Node (PCRN) and a Evolved Packet Core (EPC) gateway node. Embodiments maintain corresponding buffers for NRS values at the PCRN and the gateway and maintain synchronization between them. A gateway sends a credit control request (CCR) message to a PCRN and updates a local NRS buffer at the gateway when a successful credit control acknowledgement (CCA) response is received from the PCRN. Similarly, the PCRN updates a local NRS buffer at the PCRN when a successful credit control acknowledgement (CCA) response is sent to the gateway.

    摘要: Disclosed is a method of identifying service topologies in a network, including determining a group of network devices having a same traffic identifier and indicating each network device of the group as not processed, selecting a first network device that is indicated as not processed in the group, indicating the selected first network device as partially processed, and associating the first network device with a service container identifier, identifying, for each port of the selected first network device, at least another network device in the group indicated as not processed connected to the first network device or a termination point, wherein the identified another network device is identified as partially processed and associated with the service container identifier, repeating step (c) for each identified another network device until only termination points are reached, wherein the identified another network device becomes the first network device in step (c), and when any network devices in the group of network devices remain not processed repeating the steps (b)-(d).

    摘要: Various exemplary embodiments relate to a method performed by a policy and charging rules function (PCRF) node for selecting an Online Charging System (OCS), the method including: receiving a session establishment request for a subscriber (subscriber session); selecting an OCS realm for the subscriber session based on, in order of priority: policy rules, subscriber attribute or system preference; selecting an OCS host for the subscriber session based on, in order of priority: policy rules, subscriber attribute or system preference; and creating an Sy session using the selected OCS realm and selected OCS host.
