Abstract
A method for implementing a policy and charging control (PCC) is provided. The method includes: acquiring user location information; and determining a PCC rule of a user according to the acquired user location information. The PCC rule is for a policy and charging enforcement function (PCEF) to perform the corresponding PCC. Corresponding PCEF policy control and charging rules function (PCRF) gateway and system for implementing a PCC are also provided. Thus the PCC based on fine-granularity location information is implemented.

Claim
1. A method for implementing a Policy and Charging Control (PCC), comprising:
acquiring, by a Policy and Charging Rules Function (PCRF), user location acquisition ability information carried in a Credit-Control-Request (CCR) message sent by a Policy and Charging Enforcement Function (PCEF), wherein the user location acquisition ability information comprises a user location information attribute value pair denoting whether the PCEF have an ability of acquiring user location information; and
determining, by the PCRF, a PCC rule of a user according to the user location acquisition ability information, in which the PCC rule is for (the PCEF to perform a corresponding PCC.', 'acquiring, by a Policy and Charging Rules Function (PCRF), user location acquisition ability information carried in a Credit-Control-Request (CCR) message sent by a Policy and Charging Enforcement Function (PCEF), wherein the user location acquisition ability information comprises a user location information attribute value pair denoting whether the PCEF have an ability of acquiring user location information; and', 'determining, by the PCRF, a PCC rule of a user according to the user location acquisition ability information, in which the PCC rule is for (the PCEF to perform a corresponding PCC.
2. The method for implementing the PCC according to claim 1, wherein the user location information attribute value pair comprises attribute value denoting that the PCEF does not have the ability of acquiring the user location information.
3. The method for implementing the PCC according to claim 2, wherein the user location information attribute value pair is Routing Area Identity (RAI) attribute value pair or 3GPP-User-Location-Info attribute value pair.
4. A Policy and Charging Enforcement Function (PCEF), comprising:
a sending unit, configured to send user location acquisition ability information to a Policy Control and Charging Rules Function (PCRF), wherein the user location acquisition ability information is carried in a Credit-Control-Request (CCR) message and the user location acquisition ability information comprises a user location information attribute value pair denoting whether the PCEF have an ability of acquiring user location information;
a receiving unit, configured to receive a Policy and Charging Control (PCC) rule determined by the PCRF according to the user location acquisition ability information; and
a policy enforcement unit, configured to perform a corresponding PCC according to the PCC rule received by the receiving unit.', 'a sending unit, configured to send user location acquisition ability information to a Policy Control and Charging Rules Function (PCRF), wherein the user location acquisition ability information is carried in a Credit-Control-Request (CCR) message and the user location acquisition ability information comprises a user location information attribute value pair denoting whether the PCEF have an ability of acquiring user location information;', 'a receiving unit, configured to receive a Policy and Charging Control (PCC) rule determined by the PCRF according to the user location acquisition ability information; and', 'a policy enforcement unit, configured to perform a corresponding PCC according to the PCC rule received by the receiving unit.
