Abstract
A method for policy converging, a UE, and a server are provided. The method includes: sending, by a UE, a policy request message to a first policy server; receiving a policy response message from the first policy server, where the policy response message includes first policy information of the first policy server and information about at least one piece of second policy information; acquiring the at least one piece of second policy information according to the information about the at least one piece of second policy information; and converging, according to the policy response message, the first policy information and the at least one piece of second policy information to generate converged policy information.
Claims13
A method for policy converging, the method comprising:
- receiving, by a first policy server, a policy request message sent by user equipment (UE);
- and
- sending, by the first policy server, a policy response message to the UE, wherein the policy response message comprises first policy information of the first policy server and information about at least one piece of second policy information of at least one second policy server, the policy response message for instructing the UE to acquire the at least one piece of second policy information according to the information about the at least one piece of second policy information, and converge the first policy information and the at least one piece of second policy information to generate converged policy information;
- wherein the policy response message comprises a policy convergence indication for indicating the following converging manner:
- for a same target access network, policy items in the converged policy information are a union set of a policy item in the first policy information and a policy item in the at least one piece of second policy information.

A method for policy converging, the method comprising:
- receiving, by a first policy server, a policy request message sent by user equipment (UE);
- sending, by the first policy server, a policy response message to the UE, wherein the policy response message comprises first policy information of the first policy server and information about at least one piece of second policy information of at least one second policy server, the policy response message for instructing the UE to acquire the at least one piece of second policy information according to the information about the at least one piece of second policy information, and converge the first policy information and the at least one piece of second policy information to generate converged policy information;
- the policy request message comprises capability information of the UE for indicating that the UE supports policy convergence or for indicating a converging manner supported by the UE;
- and
- the method further comprises:
- selecting, by the first policy server for the UE according to the converging manner supported by the UE, a converging manner for generating the converged policy information.
3 more elements
