Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer readable media for communicating RAN congestion status information for large numbers of users are disclosed. In one example, a method for communicating RAN congestion status information for a large number of users includes steps performed PCRF including one or more processors. The method further includes receiving a user-specific message from an RCAF. The method further includes determining that the user-specific message indicates that one or more eNodeBs monitored by the RCAF is congested for a plurality of users using the one or more eNodeBs for radio access to a telecommunications network. The method further includes, in response to determining that the user-specific message indicates that the one or more eNodeBs are congested, performing one or more actions to mitigate the congestion.

Abstract: A method for providing real time data network usage information using an SPR includes receiving a request for real time data network usage information. The method further includes, in response to the request, effecting a data change for the subscriber in the SPR. The method further includes, at the SPR, in response to the data change, sending a notification of the change to a policy and changing rules function (PCRF). The method further includes, at the PCRF, in response to the notification of the data change, requesting real time data network usage information from at least one policy and charging enforcement function (PCEF) serving the subscriber. The method further includes, at the PCRF, receiving the data network usage information from the at least one serving PCEF. The method further includes providing an indication of the real time data network usage information to the SPR.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer readable media for providing a user record deletion notification are disclosed. In one example, the method comprises determining, at a subscriber data management (SDM) node, that a service subscription to an access network is to be terminated, wherein the service subscription is associated with a subscriber user, generating, at the SDM node, a notification message that includes a deletion notification attribute, and sending the Diameter notification message to an application server associated with the access network. The method further includes terminating, at the application server, a communication service connection established between the subscriber user and the access network in response to detecting the deletion notification attribute in the notification message and deleting, in the SDM node, a user record associated with the service subscription after receiving notification of the connection termination.

Abstract: The subject matter described herein includes systems, methods, and computer readable media for utilizing quota usage policy control in a Diameter-based communication network. An exemplary method includes, at a policy server, sending a request for quota usage information associated with a subscriber to an online charging system (OCS) node. The method further includes receiving the quota usage information from the OCS node, generating at least one policy and charging control (PCC) rule for modifying a quality of service (QoS) policy attribute associated with the subscriber based on the quota usage information, and communicating the at least one PCC rule to a Diameter network element.
