Abstract
An apparatus and associated method is provided for facilitating policy decision in a communication system, wherein the apparatus receiving a message, the message comprising a first destination device identification of a first destination device, determining a second destination device identification of a second destination device by accessing a location information of a wireless terminal, and replacing the first destination device identification with second destination device identification.
Claims29
A method of facilitating policy decision in a communication system, the method comprising:
- receiving a message, at a current device, wherein the message comprising a transmitting device identification of a transmitting device and a destination device identification of a destination device;
- replacing, the transmitting identification with a current device identification of the current device;
- and
- transmitting the message to the destination device, wherein the destination device configured to make policy decisions.
The method as claimed in 1, wherein transmitting the message comprises of transmitting a keep alive message for performing a liveness check.
