Feature Changes

Currently, P-GW sends 3GPP-User-Location-Info AVP in CCR-U for the event trigger Successful_Resource_Allocation, only if there is a change in the ULI. This feature has been implemented to comply with the 3GPP specifications. With this feature, P-GW sends 3GPP-User-Location-Info in CCR-U for the event trigger Successful_Resource_Allocation, even if there is no a change in the ULI. If the Resource-Allocation-Notification AVP is included in the Charging-Rule-Install AVP, 3GPP-User-Location-Information is included in the CCR-U sent towards the PCRF.

Limitations

Following are the limitations of this feature:

  1. This feature works with diameter dictionary dpca-custom8.

  2. Resource-Allocation-Notification AVP should be included within a Charging-Rule-Install AVP while installing/modifying rule.
