GUIDELINES-BASED MANAGEMENT IN A COMMUNICATION NETWORK

摘要

A method and system for policy based management in a communication system, comprising at a policy enforcement point (101) associated with policy decision points (102,103,104). The enforcement point (101) transmits a request for a decision from the decision points (102,103,104). A policy strategy point (105) is configured with a decision strategy, comprising an algorithm for determining a resulting decision. The decision points (102,103,104) generate decisions upon which the strategy point (105) generates the resulting decision, by applying said decision strategy on said decisions. The strategy point (105) communicates the resulting decision to the enforcement point (101), which executes the resulting decision.
