SERVICE PLAN NEGOTIATIONS WITH END USERS FOR POLICY AND CHARGING CONTROL (PCC)

摘要

Systems and methods are disclosed for negotiating service plans with an end user for Policy and Charging Control (PCC) in a packet core network, such as an LTE network. A system in one embodiment communicates with an end user that has a predefined service plan. The predefined service plan is used for a PCC decision when the end user requests a service. The system receives a request from the end user offering a proposed service plan that differs from the predefined service plan, and processes the proposed service plan to determine whether to accept the offer from the end user. If the determination is to accept the offer, then the system implements the proposed service plan for the end user in a PCC decision for a service requested by the end user instead of the predetermined service plan.
