Patent number: 10673817Abstract: The invention relates to a method, by a policy controller 100, for generating policy rules for data packet flows in a communications network. The policy controller 100 has access to a policy database 130 and stores a service level agreement. The service level agreement contains a plurality of different service level identifiers, each service level identifier being associated with a set of conditions that govern the policy rules to be applied to the data packet flows in the communications network. The method comprises the following steps: An authorization request is received for a data packet flow, the authorization request comprising service information for a service and a service level identifier. The policy database 130 is accessed and the set of conditions associated with the received service level identifier is determined. Further, based on the determined set of conditions, a policy rule to be applied to the data packet flow is generated.Type: GrantFiled: January 26, 2015Date of Patent: June 2, 2020Assignee: Telefonaktiebolaget LM Ericsson (publ)Inventors: Fuencisla Garcia Azorero, Victor Ferraro Esparza, Ignacio Rivas Molina, Filipe Alexandre Rodrigues de Moura Leitao

Publication number: 20200068587Abstract: An apparatus for user plane function, UPF, allocation is described. The UPF is configured to provide a Protocol Data Unit, PDU, connectivity service between a terminal device and a data network on a user plane, and the allocation is based on control information associated with an individual logical PDU entity. The control information defines priority information indicative of a priority of the PDU entity relative to other PDU entities and pre-emption information indicative of at least one of whether the PDU entity is capable of being pre-emptively allocated to a UPF over other PDU entities served by that UPF, and whether the PDU entity when served by a UPF is vulnerable to being re-allocated for pre-emptively allocating other PDU entities to that UPF.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 6, 2017Publication date: February 27, 2020Inventors: Fuencisla Garcia Azorero, Susana Fernandez Alonso, Victor Ferraro Esparza, Angel Navas Cornejo, Ignacio Rivas Molina

Publication number: 20190357130Abstract: Network nodes and methods for control thereof for dynamic network slice selection. An AMF receives a UE request originating from the UE, the UE request being any one of a registration request and a session request. A network slice requester controls a transmitter to transmit a network slice selection request to a PC_NSS. A selection data manager of the PC_NSS determines selection data specifying one or more UE specific parameters affecting network slice selection. A network slice selector selects a network slice assignable for the UE, based on the selection data, determines network slice data and a corresponding network slice routing rule, and transmits them to the AMF. A network slice manager of the AMF controls assignment of a network slice to the UE in dependence on the received network slice data and network slice routing rule.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 30, 2016Publication date: November 21, 2019Applicant: Telefonaktiebolaget LM Ericsson (publ)Inventors: Fuencisla GARCIA AZORERO, Susana FERNANDEZ ALONSO, Victor FERRARO ESPARZA, Angel NAVAS CORNEJO, Ignacio RIVAS MOLINA

Patent number: 10326605Abstract: Methods and apparatuses for updating policy and charging rules relating to early dialogs in session initiation protocol forking in a telecommunications network. A node comprises a receiver (304), configured to receive a plurality of preliminary responses originating from a plurality of terminating end points as part of Session Initiation Protocol, SIP, forking. The node comprises an early dialog controller (314), configured, for each received preliminary response, to determine a unique identifier and to control a transmitting means, which may be a transmitter (302), to transmit a corresponding preliminary message comprising the unique identifier to a further node (400) for use as a Policy and Charging Rules Function, PCRF (200), for creating an early dialog by the further node. The receiver is further configured to receive updated data for at least one of the preliminary responses.Type: GrantFiled: July 16, 2014Date of Patent: June 18, 2019Assignee: Telefonaktiebolaget LM Ericsson (publ)Inventors: Ignacio Rivas Molina, Venkata Ramesh Balabhadruni, Patrik Dannebro, Rikard Eriksson, Susana Fernandez Alonso, Fredrik Lindholm

Publication number: 20190021124Abstract: In network sharing deployments, a policy control rules server ignores the used radio access network, RAN, and cannot apply RAN-related policies. This specification provides for a system and method for notifying the policy control rules server of a shared RAN used to connect a UE with a serving core network.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 29, 2015Publication date: January 17, 2019Inventors: Susana FERNANDEZ ALONSO, Ignacio RIVAS MOLINA, Yong YANG

Patent number: 9319867Abstract: At present, applying conventional policy and charging control in scenarios where a huge amount of users is supported, such as machine-to-machine type communication devices, represents a number of drawbacks, such as the amount of data to be stored in subscriber databases and the access rate, the signalling load, and the processing performance of nodes. The present invention provides for a method of policy control and enhanced apparatuses enabling the support of user community profiles that apply to a plurality of subscribers, the generation and enforcement of community policy and charging rules derived from the user community profiles and preferably installed upon establishment of a session for a first user. Further sessions to be established for subsequent users of the plurality of users would be enforced with said community policy and charging rules without needs for handling them on individual basis.Type: GrantFiled: December 10, 2012Date of Patent: April 19, 2016Assignee: Telefonaktiebolaget LM Ericsson (publ)Inventors: Ignacio Rivas Molina, Lars Lövsén, Maria Belen Pancorbo Marcos, Louis Segura
