Method and System for Session Modification
First Claim
1. A method for session modification, comprising:
- sending, by a home policy and charging rules function, h-PCRF, a first policy and charging control, PCC, rule providing message to a first policy and charging enforcement function (PCEF) according to a received PCC rule request message, an application layer service message, or an h-PCRF self-trigger event; and
sending, by the h-PCRF, a second PCC rule providing message to a second policy and charging enforcement function, according to a PCC rule response message received from the first PCEF.

Abstract
A method and system for session modification are provided. The method includes these steps: A home policy and charging rules function (h-PCRF) sends a policy and charging control (PCC) rule providing message to a first policy and charging enforcement function (PCEF) according to a received PCC rule request message, an application layer service message, or an h-PCRF self-trigger event; and the h-PCRF sends a PCC rule providing message to a second PCEF according to a PCC rule response message received from the first PCEF. With this present disclosure, session modification may be implemented when two or more PCEFs are included in the PCC architecture of a system architecture evolution (SAE) system.

15. A method for transferring information, comprising:
-
receiving, by a home policy and charging rules function, h-PCRF, a policy and charging control, PCC rule request message from a first policy and charging enforcement function (PCEF); obtaining, by the h-PCRF, information of a trigger event that occurs on the first PCEF and information of affected PCC rules from the received PCC rule request message; and sending, by the h-PCRF, a PCC rule providing message to a second PCEF, where the PCC rule providing message comprises the information of the trigger event that occurs on the first PCEF. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17)

18. A system for session modification, comprising:
- first and second policy and charging enforcement functions (PCEFs), an application function, AF, a home online charging system, h-OCS, and a home policy and charging rules function, h-PCRF, wherein;
the second PCEF is connected to the AF, h-PCRF, h-OCS, and first PCEF through an SGi interface, an S7b interface, a Gyb interface, and a CMIP/PMIP (Client Mobility IP/Proxy Mobility IP) interface respectively; the first PCEF is connected to the h-PCRF through an S7a interface; the h-PCRF is connected to the AF through an RX+ interface; the h-PCRF is configured to send a PCC rule providing message to the second PCEF according to a received PCC rule request message, an application layer service message, or a self-trigger message; and the h-PCRF is configured to send a PCC rule providing message to the first PCEF according to a PCC rule response message sent from the second PCEF. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20)
