System and method for checking the permissibility of a use of a service
DC CAFCFirst Claim
1. A method for checking permissibility to use a service, the service being implemented in at least one communications network, the communication network having an overall transmission capacity, the use of the service comprising transmission of at least one service-specific traffic stream which is assigned to the service by an access node which is assigned to the service to the communication network, comprising:
- analyzing the use of the service with an access control function which is assigned to the access node; and
checking, via the access control function, without further interrogations at internal transmission nodes of the communications network, whether the use of the service is permitted, the checking performed taking into account an available capacity, which isdetermined taking into account the overall transmission capacity, andavailable to the access node for transmitting traffic streams to the communications network.

Abstract
An access control function (ZF) which checks a requested use (NU) of a service (DI) by considering an available capacity Cv which is detected by considering the entire transmission capacity (G) and is available to an access node (ZK) for transmitting traffic flows (VS) to the communications network. The service is carried out in at least one communications network (KN) that is provided with an entire transmission capacity (G). The access node (ZK) is allocated to the access control function (ZF) which checks the requested use (NU) of the service (DI).

10. A device comprising:
-
at least one means for checking permissibility of use of a service which is implemented in at least one communications network having an overall transmission capacity, wherein the at least one means; transmits at least one service-specific traffic stream which is assigned to the service by an access node assigned to the service to the communications network; analyzes the use of the service with an access control function which is assigned to the access node; and checks the access and via control function, without further interrogations at internal transmission nodes of the communications network, whether the use of the service is permitted, the checking performed taking into account an available capacity, the overall transmission capacity, and which is made available to the access node for transmitting traffic streams to the communications network. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13)
