Feature Description

The QoS Group of Ruledef feature enables the PCF to define and enforce Fair-Usage-Policy (FUP) per subscriber. This feature enables changing certain charging-action parameters and all QoS-of-ruledefs parameters per individual subscriber session.

QoS Group of Ruledefs is also called as QGR.

The following attributes of QoS-group-of-ruledefs are supported:

  • Precedence or Priority: Priority of a QoS-group-of-ruledefs implies priority of applying QoS-parameters of a QoS-group-of-ruledefs to an incoming data packet. If a packet matches a ruledef which is part of multiple QoS-groups activated for the session, then QoS parameters of the QoS-group-of-ruledefs with highest priority (precedence) is applied to the packet. A lower priority number indicates higher priority of application of QoS parameters of that group. Priority of a QoS-group-of-ruledefs is set by PCF for each subscriber session.

  • Flow-Status: Describes whether the IP flows are enabled or disabled. Possible values are:

    • Enabled uplink

    • Enabled downlink

    • Enabled

    • Disabled

    • Removed

    Default value is Enabled.

Note

Attributes of QosGroupRuleDefs IE cannot be defined using CLI commands. These attributes can only be set and changed by PCF.

Individual ruledefs cannot be dynamically added or removed from a predefined QoS-group-of-ruledefs received over the N7 interface.
