Abstract
A method, equipment and system for policy control. The method includes: a trusted Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) access gateway receiving Quality of Service (QoS) information from a 3GPP core network, and sending the QoS information to an Access Controller (AC) or a Broadband Network Gateway (BNG); the AC or the BNG or other fixed network access devices performing admission control and/or resource allocation according to the QoS information. In the technical solution, the interface configuration and policy configuration are performed for the WLAN access gateway in the fixed mobile convergence scenario, thereby the policy control is implemented in the fixed mobile convergence scenario.
Claims19
A method for policy control, comprising:
- a trusted Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) access gateway receiving Quality of Service (QoS) information from a 3GPP core network, and sending the QoS information to an Access Controller (AC) or a Broadband Network Gateway (BNG);
- the AC or the BNG or other fixed network access devices performing admission control and/or resource allocation according to the QoS information;
- configuring an interface D′ between the trusted WLAN access gateway and the AC or the BNG, and using the interface D′ to implement one of the following functions:
- transferring the QoS information and admission control and/or resource allocation result by a Remote Authentication Dial In User Service (RADIUS) session established during a terminal access authentication;
- establishing a separate policy control session to transfer the QoS information and the admission control and/or resource allocation result.
A trusted Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) access gateway, comprising a processor and a storage device, wherein the storage device stores processor-executable programs, and the programs comprise:
- a receiving module, configured to:
- receive Quality of Service (QoS) information from a 3GPP core network;
- a sending module, configured to:
- send the QoS information to an Access Controller (AC) or a Broadband Network Gateway (BNG);
- and
- the trusted WLAN access gateway further comprising:
- an interface D′ between the trusted WLAN access gateway and the AC or the BNG, configured to:
- transfer the QoS information and admission control and/or resource allocation result by a Remote Authentication Dial In User Service (RADIUS) session established during a terminal access authentication, establish a separate policy control session to transfer the QoS information and the admission control and/or resource allocation result.
