Abstract
Methods, apparatus and computer program products for binding information management. A method implemented at a policy control node in a wireless communication network comprises: obtaining information indicating a collocated deployment of a session management node and a binding support node (202); and inhibiting, in response to the information, a registration of binding information to the binding support node (204). A policy control node can know that a binding support node is collocated with a session management node, and no registration of binding information to the binding support node will be triggered for the policy control node.
Claims12
A method implemented at a policy control node in a wireless communication network comprising:
- transmitting Diameter related attribute information to a network repository node during a registration procedure of the policy control node to enable the network repository node to provide the Diameter related attribute information to a session management node during a discovery procedure for the policy control node initiated by the session management node, wherein the Diameter related attribute information comprises an identifier of a Diameter host and a Diameter realm for the policy control node.
A method implemented at a session management node in a wireless communication network comprising:
- receiving Diameter related attribute information of a policy control node from a network repository node during a discovery procedure for the policy control node, the Diameter related attribute information obtained by the network repository node during a registration procedure of the policy control node, wherein the Diameter related attribute information comprises an identifier of a Diameter host and a Diameter realm for the policy control node.
A method implemented at a network repository node in a wireless communication network comprising:
- receiving, from a policy control node, Diameter related attribute information of the policy control node during a registration procedure for the policy control node, wherein the Diameter related attribute information comprises an identifier of a Diameter host and a Diameter realm for the policy control node;
- and
- transmitting the Diameter related attribute information to a session management node during a discovery procedure for the policy control node initiated by the session management node.
A policy control node in a wireless communication network comprising:
- one or more processors;
- and
- one or more memories containing computer program codes which, when executed by said one or more processors, cause said policy control node to:
- transmit Diameter related attribute information to a network repository node during a registration procedure of the policy control node to enable the network repository node to provide the Diameter related attribute information to a session management node during a discovery procedure for the policy control node initiated by the session management node, wherein the Diameter related attribute information comprises an identifier of a Diameter host and a Diameter realm for the policy control node.
A session management node in a wireless communication network comprising:
- one or more processors;
- and
- one or more memories containing computer program codes which, when executed by said one or more processors, cause said session management node to:
- receive Diameter related attribute information of a policy control node from a network repository node during a discovery procedure for the policy control node, the Diameter related attribute information obtained by the network repository node during a registration procedure of the policy control node, wherein the Diameter related attribute information comprises an identifier of a Diameter host and a Diameter realm for the policy control node.
A network repository node in a wireless communication network comprising:
- one or more processors;
- and
- one or more memories containing computer program codes which, when executed by said one or more processors, cause said network repository node to:
- receive, from a policy control node, Diameter related attribute information of the policy control node during a registration procedure for the policy control node, wherein the Diameter related attribute information comprises an identifier of a Diameter host and a Diameter realm for the policy control node;
- and
- transmit the Diameter related attribute information to a session management node during a discovery procedure for the policy control node initiated by the session management node.
