Abstract: A control method, system and function entity for reporting a bearer event of a signaling IP flow are provided. A 5-tuple is generated for a signaling IP flow and a media IP flow so as to unify a mechanism for reporting a signaling path status and a mechanism for reporting a bearer event of a media IP flow, so that the mechanism for reporting a signaling path status is not limited by the parameter of Flow Usage, the PDP context with a signaling tag, thereby establishing corresponding PCC rules for signaling and the association between a signaling IP flow and a bearer. A method for reporting a signaling path status is further provided in the invention. In the method, for a default PDP context or a PDP context of a signaling IP flow, the predefined PCC rules are activated or signaling PCC rules generated in accordance with an Application Function address are installed, thereby an IP signaling path status is reported in accordance with rule names of the predefine PCC rules or the signaling PCC rules.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide a method for indicating the service priority update, a service priority update method, and an apparatus. The method for indicating the service priority update includes: A priority management functional entity receives a service priority update request message sent by a user, where the update request message includes a service type identifier and a priority update indication identifier corresponding to the service type identifier; and the priority management functional entity sends a service priority update instruction message to a network side according to the update request message, where the update instruction message is used to instruct the network side to process a service corresponding to the service type identifier according to a priority level corresponding to the priority update indication identifier. In the embodiments of the present invention, priority control is exercised on all types of services of the user in an emergency.

Abstract: A control method, system and function entity for reporting a bearer event of a signaling IP flow are provided. Flow identifier information such as a 5-tuple is generated for a signaling IP flow and a media IP flow so as to unify a mechanism for reporting a signaling path status and a mechanism for reporting a bearer event of a media IP flow, so that the mechanism for reporting a signaling path status is not limited by the parameter of Flow Usage, the PDP context with a signaling tag, thereby establishing corresponding PCC rules for signaling and the association between a signaling IP flow and a bearer. A method for reporting a signaling path status is further provided in the invention.

Abstract: A method, a system, and a connectivity service network (CSN) for realizing a location service are provided. When a user terminal roams to the visited domain network from the home domain network, the H-CSN interacts with the V-CSN after receiving the location request, and obtains the location result through location control exercised by the V-CSN over the V-ASN, which realizes the location of the user terminal from the home domain network, and expands the application of the location service in the home domain network.

Abstract: A method and a system for exercising policy control, a policy and charging enforcement function (PCEF), and a policy control and charging rules function (PCRF) are provided, which can solve the problem that no policy control can be exercised over application service flows without an application function (AF). The method includes of the following steps: a PCRF receiving information about an application event sent by a PCEF; and the PCRF generating a control policy for a service flow of the application according to the information about the application event, and delivering the control policy to the PCEF.

Abstract: A method and a system of realizing event detection are provided, which detect a status of an Internet Protocol (IP) connectivity access network (IP-CAN) bearer corresponding to a policy and charging control (PCC) rule by binding an Event-Trigger parameter to the PCC rule, thereby realizing small-granularity detection for the specific PCC rule and reducing the load of the system. Furthermore, a status of the IP-CAN bearer or an IP flow is realized by binding the Event-Trigger parameter to an IP-CAN identifier (ID) or an IP flow ID, so as to avoid the problem about too large granularity of the binding of event detection and IP-CAN session and reduce the burden of the IP-CAN bearer detection and message exchange.

Abstract: A service processing method, a service processing system, and a PCRF entity are disclosed to overcome this defect in the prior art: The prior art is unable to handle services discriminatively according to the policy context information when different services require the same QoS level. The method includes: receiving bearer priority information from a PCRF entity, where the bearer priority information includes: bearer priority information of a service data stream, bearer priority information of an IP-CAN session, and/or bearer priority information of an IP-CAN bearer; and handling services according to the bearer priority information. In the embodiments of the present invention, the policy context information is converted into bearer priority information so that the PCEF handles services according to the bearer priority information. In this way, different services that require the same QoS level are handled discriminatively according to the policy context information.

Abstract: A method, system and device for implementing security control are provided. The method for implementing security control includes: receiving, by the Policy and Charging Enforcement Function (PCEF) entity, security control policy information from the Policy Control and Charging Rules Function (PCRF) entity; and executing, by the PCEF entity, user security control according to the security control policy information. The provided method, system, and device may provide security control for the user session in the Policy Charging Control (PCC) architecture.
