Default: 0

Dual Stack Session

Set to enable or disable the parameter.

Default: disabled

Default: disabled

Encoding Format

Can be set to true or false. If the Monitoring Key parameter is numeric, set this parameter to true.

Max Req Bandwidth UL

Defines the maximum bit rate allowed for the uplink direction.

Monitoring Key

Identifies a usage monitoring control instance. You can specify any value.

Monitoring Level

Can be set to one of the following values:

  • SESSION_LEVEL (0)

  • PCC_RULE_LEVEL (1)

  • ADC_RULE_LEVEL (2)

Mute Notification

Indicates whether notifications for application starts and stops are muted for ADC Rule by the TDF.

New String Value

The new string value that is used to overwrite the “String Value” if the value of “String Value” field matches exactly with the value of “String Value To Override”.

Online

Defines whether the online charging interface from PCF for the associated PCC rule is enabled. The default charging method provided by PCF takes precedence over any preconfigured default charging method at PCF.

  • Enable: Indicates that the online charging interface for the associated PCC rule is enabled.

  • Disable: Indicates that the online charging interface for the associated PCC rule is disabled.

Offline

Defines whether the offline charging interface from PCF for the associated PCC rule is enabled. The default charging method provided by PCF takes precedence over any preconfigured default charging method at PCF.

  • Enable: Indicates that the offline charging interface for the associated PCC rule is enabled.

  • Disable: Indicates that the offline charging interface for the associated PCC rule is disabled.

Precedence

Defines the second-level priority when the highest priority matches among the multiple generic service configurations.

Preemption Capability

When provided within the QoS-Information AVP, the AVP defines whether a service data flow can get resources that were already assigned to another service data flow that has a lower priority level. If it is provided within the Default-EPS-Bearer-QoS AVP, the AVP defines whether the Default Bearer can get resources that were already assigned to another bearer with a lower priority level.

  • 0: Indicates that the service data flow or bearer is allowed to get resources that were already assigned to another service data flow or bearer with a lower priority level.

  • 1: Indicates that the service data flow or bearer is not allowed to get resources that were already assigned to another service data flow or bearer with a lower priority level. This is the default value applicable if this AVP is not supplied.

Preemption Vulnerability

When provided within the QoS-Information AVP, the AVP defines whether a service data flow can lose the resources assigned to it in order to admit a service data flow that has a higher priority level. If it is provided within the Default-EPS-Bearer-QoS AVP, the AVP defines whether the Default Bearer can lose the resources assigned to it in order to admit a pre-emption capable bearer with a higher priority level.

  • 0: Indicates that the resources assigned to the service data flow or bearer can be pre-empted and allocated to a service data flow or bearer with a higher priority level. This is the default value applicable if this AVP is not supplied.

  • 1: Indicates that the resources assigned to the service data flow or bearer cannot be pre-empted and allocated to a service data flow or bearer with a higher priority level.

Priority

The priority of the message for processing. The higher the number, the higher the priority.

Default for most settings: 0

Priority Levels

Used to decide whether a bearer establishment or modification request can be accepted, or rejected due to resource limitations (typically used for admission control of GBR traffic). The AVP can also be used to decide which existing bearers to pre-empt during resource limitations. The priority level defines the relative importance of a resource request.

Values 1–15 are defined, with value 1 as the highest level of priority.

  • Values: 1–8 – Assigned for services that are authorized to receive

    Prioritized treatment within an operator domain.

  • Values: 9–15 – Assigned to resources that are authorized by the Home network and thus applicable when a UE is roaming.

Provision Default Bearer QoS

Must be bound to the appropriate column in the STG. The data contained in the STG column is of type True/False.

If the value is True, the Default Bearer QoS information from the session is applied to the rule, while QoS information derived from the prior parameters in this STG is ignored.

Qci

The Quality of Service (QoS) Class Identifier.

The QoS class identifier identifies a set of IP-CAN specific QoS parameters that define QoS, excluding the applicable bitrates and ARP. It is applicable both for uplink and downlink direction. The QCI values 0, 10–255 are divided for usage as follows:

  • 0: Reserved

  • 10-127: Reserved

  • 128-254: Operator specific

  • 255: Reserved

Rating Group

The charging key for the PCC rule used for rating purposes.

Realm

The destination realm where the message is sent from PCF.

Redirect Address

Indicates the target for redirected application traffic.

Redirect Address Type

Defines the address type of the address given in the Redirect-Server-Address AVP.

Default: IPV4_ADDRESS

Redirect Server Address

Indicates the target for redirected application traffic.

Redirect Support

This value indicates that Redirection is enabled for a detected application's traffic.

Retry Profile

Indicates the Rule Retry Profile to be used. When PCF receives a Charging-Rule-Report indicating failure to install or to activate one or more rules, it evaluates the failed rules and takes further action.

Rule Group

Used to classify rules at PCF to change set of predefined rules based on policy.

This parameter is optional.

Rule Name

A partial name configured in Policy Builder (as derived using AF-Application-Identifier and Media-Type values from the Custom dynamic rule name table in Gx Client).

Default: AF

Scheduled Hour

Can be set to one of the following values:

  • Default: Turns off the Hour Boundary RAR enhancement feature for look-ahead rules installation at hour boundary. This causes rules to be installed at hour boundary as applicable.

  • CurrentHour: Rule activation time will be current time, deactivation time will be the next hour.

  • NextHour: Rule activation time will be the next hour, and deactivation time will be next-next hour.

Search Column

Must be bound to the Key column in the STG. The data contained in the STG column is of type Text.

Search Group

A constant value that PCF uses to search within the Search Table Group indicated by the Search Table parameter.

Search Table

The name of the table from which to perform a lookup.

String Value to Override

Indicates whether overriding is required.

For virtual services, if the value of “String Value” field matches exactly with the value of “String Value To Override”, then the value of “String Value” is over written with the “New String Value".

Tdf Application Identifier

References the application detection filter (for example, its value may represent an application such as a list of URLs) to which the PCC rule for application detection and control in PCF applies.

ToD Schedule

Identifies the schedule for rule activation and deactivation.
