Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A system, policy nodes, and methods are described herein for establishing a policy session (e.g., IP-CAN session) for a user equipment between a first policy node (e.g., BPCF) which is associated with a fixed broadband access network (e.g., non-3GPP access network) and a second policy node (e.g., PCRF) which is associated with an evolved packet core network (e.g., 3GPP access network).

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A method for establishing a policy session for a user equipment between a first policy node which is associated with a fixed broadband access network and a second policy node which is associated with an evolved packet core network, the method in a system comprising: establishing the policy session between the first policy node and the second policy node, wherein the policy session is with respect to traffic of the user equipment connected to the fixed…
