PCC - Policy and Charging Control
PCC - Policy and Charging Control
The PCC - Policy and Charging Control course offers a comprehensive – yet easily understandable – description of the purpose, principles, architecture for Policy and Charging Control as specified by 3GPP. The course focuses on PCC used with UMTS and EPS (with GTP-based core network). Relevant functional entities, protocols and interfaces are described, and signalling flows are used to illustrate the PCC mechanisms.
PREREQUISITES:
General knowledge about the architecture, terminology and modes of operation of the GSM/UMTS/EPS access and core networks is highly recommended. Basic knowledge of the Internet Protocol (IP) family is useful.
3GPP System Overview
• GPRS/UMTS network architectures and mode of operation
• EPS (Evolved Packet System) – architecture and mode of operation
• PDNs (Packet Data Networks)
• QoS handling
PCC Introduction and Architecture
• IP Connectivity access networks (IP-CANs)
• PCC high level principles
• PCC nodes/functions (PCRF, SPR, AF and PCEF)
• Protocols and Reference points used for PCC
• Sessions, Bearers and Service Data Flows (SDF)
The Diameter protocol
• The Diameter protocol
• Commands and and Attribute Value Pairs
• Diameter routing principles
• PCC Diameter use case
Policy Control part 1
• What does Policy Control include?
