Presentation Mobile Data PCRF Going Live Version 02

This document provides an overview and summary of the PCRF project at a mobile network operator. It discusses: 1) What PCRF is and why it is needed as part of the new Policy and Charging Control architecture to provide flexible data packages, usage notifications, and optimize revenue from data usage. 2) The scope of work for the "PoCo Drop 1" project phase, including enabling real-time usage notifications and add-on purchases, as well as the priority of various capabilities to be developed. 3) The new network nodes involved, including PCRF servers and GFM modules using an Ernie database. 4) The plan to gradually migrate services from the existing URN module to

What is PCRF and why we need it?
PCRF Policy and Charging Rule function part of the new Policy and Charging Control (PCC) architecture (see 3GPP 23203 for more details)

Policy and Charging Control functionality encompasses two main functions:


- Flow Based Charging, including charging control and online credit control;
- Policy control (e.g. gating control, QoS control, QoS signalling, etc.).

PCC will provide customers a clear overview about their data bundle usage via various methods, including SMS notification, Web-portal and etc;
(PCRF is only part of the architecture, more elements are required for this)

PCC will provide customers with flexible and various choices based on different features or personal usage status, such as introducing day-card,
roaming bundle, above bundle up-selling

PCC will increase profitability of the mobile data traffic through aligning data traffic and revenue generation; for example:
- trigger heavy data users to upgrade their mobile data subscription to a larger bundle size and/ or throughput.
- downgrade ("pinch") the QoS for users who have used up their monthly credit...

New Nodes
New network equipment
PCRF (Huawei) ATCA platform FE and BE

GFM modules (HP)

Location
Amsterdam, Drentestraat

Amount of Elements
1

(active-PCRF)
Rotterdam, Waalhaven

(standby-PCRF)
Amsterdam, Drentestraat

Rotterdam, Waalhaven

The GFM makes use of Ernie Database

Service Migration
Service migration from the URN module towards the GFM module
gradually:
Several Feature Prove Proposition(s)/TAs will be activated for the GFM module,
which result in the traffic migration from the URN module towards the GFM
module. In the end of this project, all the traffic from URN module should be
migrated to the GFM module. As long as the URN module is no longer used, it
will be adapted to the GFM modules.

For PoCo Drop 1 project, the EURoaming module will stay and GFM
module will not replace the function of the EURoaming module

Service Migration
Enabling Gx (PCRF) on the GGSN ASDTPG3, RTWAPG3 and AHPTPG1
for APN pcrf.portalmmm.nl (APN portalmmm.nl postpaid)
Postpaid subscriber will use the user profile selected by PCRF instead
of the GGSN.
Number of users using the complete service (including GFM) are 20 test
subscribers. (The support expected is unclear)
All other postpaid subscribers will use the default profile URN selected
by the PCFR node

Provisioning PCRF
Roaming changes on IR21 document. There is a document available how to do
this on the PCRF node.
Provisioning new features on the PCRF. AIF processes is not yet ready.
