METHODS FOR APPLYING SESSION PROCESSING RULES BASED ON A CARD FOR PRESENCE OF MOBILE TERMINALS IN SPECIAL AREAS

摘要

The invention comprises a method for transmitting the presence card of mobile terminals connected by a communication session to a mobile network covering a plurality of location zones, implemented by a network equipment (GMLC, MME1, MME2, MME3). mobile device capable of collecting mobile terminal location information, the method comprising: - a prior step of obtaining a so-called zonal information, comprising at least information relating to the existence of at least one zone of the plurality of localization zones, called special zone, which is associated with a special session processing rule, - at least one iterative step of updating a presence map associating location area identifiers with terminal identifiers, a step comprising the following steps: o collecting a location information of a terminal, comprising a location area identifier of this terminal (UE), o search, in the zonal information, if there is a special zone corresponding to the identifier of said location zone, and, o when the special zone exists, adding the identifier of the terminal and the identifier of the zone for location on the terminal presence card, and a transmission step of the mobile network terminal equipment-to-equipment (PCRF) card capable of applying a session-processing rule to a terminal as a function of at least one its location area.
