First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method, comprising:
- facilitating, by a system comprising a processor, a routing of network policy data between a policy decision engine and a network device associated with a traffic service zone that serves mobile devices of the traffic service zone;
receiving, by the system, the network policy data from the network device, wherein the network device performs a function;
mapping, by the system, the network policy data to the traffic service zone; and
based on the network policy data, managing, by the system, the traffic service zone, wherein the managing is performed on behalf of the policy decision engine.

Abstract
Aspects describe using a Policy Access Gateway that can facilitate scalability within a communication network and that can provide a solution to deploy an enhanced policy gateway. The Policy Access Gateway can enhance standard defined Diameter Routing Agent (DRA) functions with session binding mechanisms. Further, the Policy Access Gateway is scalable and can be deployed in a very large network that supports hundreds of millions of users. Further, the Policy Access Gateway can provide additional policy information to enable policy information consolidation and caching capabilities.

10. A system, comprising:
-
a processor; and a memory that stores executable instructions that, when executed by the processor, facilitate performance of operations, comprising; receiving network related policies comprising rules from network operator devices; associating the network related policies with a related service zone; consolidating the network related policies into a consolidated policy; and conveying the consolidated policy for deployment by a first network device and a second network device of the network devices. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15)
