Methods, systems, and computer readable media for user controlled policy sharing

A system for user controlled policy sharing, the system comprising:

• a policy and charging rules function (PCRF) comprising:
• a communication interface;
• a policy sharing module implemented using a processor for executing instructions stored in a memory, wherein the policy sharing module is configured to:
• receive, from a first user device and via the communication interface, a user device initiated request to share with a second user device a policy attribute associated with the first user device;
• generate a signaling message containing instructions to modify the policy attribute;
• and
• communicate, via the communication interface, the signaling message to a policy control function associated with the second user device.

A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising computer executable instructions that when executed by a processor of a computer control the computer to perform steps comprising:

• at a policy and charging rules function (PCRF):
• receiving, from a first user device, a user device initiated request to share with a second user device a policy attribute associated with the first user device;
• generating a signaling message containing instructions to modify the policy attribute;
• and
• communicating the signaling message to a policy control function associated with the second user device.
