Abstract
The present embodiments disclose a method and a device for controlling binding of a data flow to a bearer. The method includes receiving, by a policy and charging enforcement function (PCEF) device, indication information and an identifier of a policy and charging control (PCC) rule from a policy and charging rules function (PCRF) device and binding, by the PCEF device to a target bearer according to the indication information, a data flow indicated by an identifier of the data flow in the PCC rule indicated by the identifier of the PCC rule.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- receiving, by a policy and charging enforcement function (PCEF) device from a policy and charging rules function (PCRF) device, indication information and an identifier of a policy and charging control (PCC) rule;
- and
- binding, by the PCEF device to a target bearer, according to the indication information, a data flow indicated by an identifier of the data flow in the PCC rule.
A method comprising:
- generating, by a policy and charging rules function (PCRF) device, indication information, wherein the indication information comprises a target quality of service (QoS) parameter, service information, or an identifier of a target bearer;
- and
- sending, by the PCRF device to a policy and charging enforcement function (PECF) device, an identifier of a policy and charging control (PCC) rule and the indication information, requesting that the PCEF device bind, to the target bearer according to the indication information, a data flow indicated by an identifier of the data flow in the PCC rule.
A method comprising:
- receiving, by a policy and charging enforcement function (PCEF) device from a policy and charging rules function (PCRF) device, indication information for changing a quality of service (QoS) parameter of a default bearer;
- and
- binding, by the PCEF device to the default bearer, a data flow corresponding to a predefined policy and charging control (PCC) rule, in response to a presence of a data flow corresponding to the predefined PCC rule in the default bearer before the QoS parameter of the default bearer is changed.
A policy and charging enforcement function (PCEF) device, comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing a program for execution by the processor, the program including instructions to:
- receive indication information and an identifier of a policy and charging control (PCC) rule from a policy and charging rules function (PCRF) device;
- and
- bind, to a target bearer according to the indication information, a data flow indicated by an identifier of the data flow in the PCC rule.
The PCEF device according to claim ii, wherein the indication information comprises a target quality of service (QoS) parameter, service information, or an identifier of the target bearer.
A policy and charging rules function (PCRF) device, comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing a program for execution by the processor, the program including instructions to:
- generate indication information, wherein the indication information comprises a target quality of service (QoS) parameter, service information, or an identifier of a target bearer;
- and
- send an identifier of a policy and charging control (PCC) rule and the indication information, to a policy and charging enforcement function (PCEF) device, requesting that the PCEF device bind, to the target bearer according to the indication information, a data flow indicated by an identifier of the data flow in the PCC rule in.
A policy and charging enforcement function (PCEF) device, comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing a program for execution by the processor, the program including instructions to:
- receive, from a policy and charging rules function (PCRF) device, indication information for changing a quality of service (QoS) parameter of a default bearer;
- and
- bind a data flow corresponding to a predefined policy and charging control (PCC) rule to the default bearer, in response to a presence of a data flow corresponding to the predefined PCC rule in the default bearer before the QoS parameter of the default bearer is changed.
