摘要： The invention is directed to managing a subscriber session, particularly an Internet Protocol connectivity access network (IP-CAN) session in the context of LTE networks, responsive to a change in circumstances related to the subscriber such as a change in subscriber profile information, an event trigger, or a usage management trigger. According to embodiments of the invention, such management includes receiving an indication of a change in circumstances relating to a subscriber; identifying a session related to the change; determining if taking an action related to the session is desirable; and taking the action in accordance with the determination.
