摘要:
A network entity for use in a communication network. The network entity including a processing resource that is configured to obtain information indicative of a quality of experience on a user terminal in communication with the communication network; and to control the communication to the user terminal based on the obtained information indicative of a quality of experience.

A policy server (e.g., Policy and Charging Rules Function), a policy enforcement device (e.g., Policy and Charging Enforcement Function, Traffic Detection Function), and various methods are described herein for dynamically excluding active service add-ons from bearer throttling for user terminals. The active service add-on indicates that bandwidth of the service traffic associated with a corresponding service is to be limited to a defined value after the user terminal consumes a defined amount of data associated with the corresponding service during a defined time period. The bearer throttling entails limiting the bearer bandwidth to the defined value after the user terminal has consumed the defined amount of data during the defined time period.

Currently existing mechanisms to optimize the quality of experience (QoE) in accordance with user data plans are rather based on user self-managed usage of his mobile user data plan with, for example, help from external applications which continuously evaluate the limits reached. There is thus a need for deployment of intelligence in the network, in order to avoid abrupt downgrades in the QoE for subscribers that go over the monthly quota of their data plan. To overcome these problems, or at least to mitigate them, an embodiment of the present invention provides for an optimization of the user's quota by gradually reducing the required bandwidth for the content that the user requests. This is achieved by a method which takes into account the consumed/remaining volumes in the user data plan as well as the user browsing habits, and which provides context enrichment to content providers to enable taking decisions.

The present invention relates to a method and a node for controlling resources for a media service in a policy and charging system of a communication network carried out by a network node including a policy and charging rules function obtaining information from another node so as to optimize network resources. The method of controlling resources comprise the steps of obtaining, at a network node, identification information for identifying at least one of a user and a user terminal; determining at least one device parameter using said identification information, which parameter is associated with a device selected to receive media data of said media service; and selecting according to said at least one device parameter a policy which is to be applied for said media service.
