摘要:
The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for requesting a transport policy for a bearer of a session in a communications system (100) A transport policy requesting node (500) according to the invention comprises an event handling mechanism (505) adapted to detect a triggering event triggering the selection of a transport policy for the bearer of a service; a transport policy selection mechanism (525) adapted to select a transport policy and transmit a policy request indicative of the transport policy to a policy decision function, and a context information handling mechanism (515, 520) adapted to receive information relating to a context relevant to the service. The context information can be used as a trigger for the selection of a transport policy, and/or as a basis for the selection of a transport policy.

The invention comprises methods and arrangements for Policy Decision Point discovery in a roaming or handover scenario in an IP network (IN) comprising a plurality of network elements. The authentication function, e.g. an AAA-server, receives the address (ASPDP1) of the serving Policy Decision Point (SPDP1) associated to the user equipment, and stores the address of the serving policy decision point together with the local address of the user equipment. The authentication function sends the address of the serving policy Decision Point to the Home Agent so that the Home Agent can forward the address of the serving policy decision point to the anchor Policy Decision Point and so that the anchor Policy Decision Point can contact the serving policy decision point by using said address of the serving Policy Decision Point.

The invention comprises methods and arrangements for Policy Decision Point discovery in a roaming or handover scenario in an IP network (IN) comprising a plurality of network elements. The invention comprises methods and arrangement in an user equipment for receiving the address of the serving policy decision point and sending to the Home Agent a registration request comprising the local IP address of the user equipment so that the home agent can register the local IP address. The registration request will also comprise the address (ASPDP1) of the serving policy decision point (SPDP1) so that the Home Agent can forward the address of the serving policy decision point to the anchor Policy Decision Point and so that the anchor Policy Decision Point can contact the serving policy decision point by using said address of the serving Policy Decision Point.

摘要:
A method and an arrangement in a service assurance module for controlling service level agreements for communication services in a mobile services access network. A network performance rule is created for a service level agreement, and is based on an associated performance indicator indicating the current network performance with respect to the fulfillment of the service level agreement. The performance indicator is then monitored, and the network performance rule is evaluated on a regular basis based on the performance indicator. If the network performance rule is not satisfied, an agreement violation is registered and/or measures are taken to improve the network performance.

The invention relates to a method (40) in a visited gateway server (21) in a communication system (1) comprising a home network (10) and a visited network (20) for enabling exchange of user profiles between a visited user profile server (22) of the visited network (20) and a home user profile server (12) of the home network (10), the method comprising: receiving (41) a user identification from a user equipment (2) requesting access to the visited network (20); transmitting (42), in response to received user identification, an identifier of the visited user profile server (22) to the user equipment (2) for conveyance by the user equipment (2) to the home user profile server (12), thereby enabling the exchange of user profiles. The invention also relates to visited gateway server, methods in a visited user profile server, visited user profile server, and methods in a user equipment, user equipment and computer programs.
摘要:
In the embodiments of the present invention, a network node in an operator network is introduced. The network node is an analysis component configured to analyze the subscriber behavior based on the internet traffic data within the network. The network node is configured to provide a dynamic profile of the subscribers based on the current and past internet traffic. The dynamic profile may be used by other applications in the operator network or third parties. For example, a content provider can take a decision on what content to provide to a certain subscriber, based on dynamic subscriber profile information of this certain subscriber received from the network node according to the embodiments of the present invention. Another example is that an operator can use the dynamic subscriber profile when selecting commercial offers to his own subscribers e.g. when a subscriber has a new music mobile when visiting music sites.
摘要:
The present invention provides methods, an application node (104, 26, 300), a policy node (108, 24, 400), a system for service delivery control related to access technology types and in particular for service delivery control based on allowed access technology types. Based on radio access technology types as defined by an application node related to a service provider as communicated to the policy node over the inter node interface Rx (106), and an radio access technology type with which a mobile phone (102, 22) communicates on at the moment, a determination is made as to whether the radio access technology type with which the mobile phone communicate son is among the allowed radio access technology types or not. If it is not, the current access technology type may be updated such that there is a match between the allowed radio access technology type and the current radio access rate.
