I am trying to understand the charging rules in case of default bearer without the TFT info. i.e with this bearer the UE is still able to browse the internet.
Lets say the Table in PGW is like this:
Servicetype=>Internet
Method=>VolumeBased
Tariff for GroupA £0.5/KB
In this case, what will the value of "service identifier" AVP ?
Because in case we have two services, WAP and Videostreaming, we can have two charging rules ( One service type for WAP and another for Video )..In this case, the CCA will have two charging rules (each with service Identifier, as WAP and streaming) and each will have different TFT. So the PGW can apply these two rules on the default bearer.
My another silly doubt is: how the PCRF, determines, it needs to send two charging rules on CCRequest message.
{ just to clarify based on which AVP in the CCRequest }
Just to clarify the above Query, I tried to read through the book regarding the GPRS charging in the "charging for mobile All IP Communication" by Yi-Bing and section 9.2 "Content based Service for Online TPF/GPRS". where there are two charging rules configures for WAP and Video streaming..There I am trying to figure out AVP in CCR, which triggers two Rules in CCA
Just adding some more queries: on Gy.
- In the "Multiple-Services-Credit-Control AVP" , how the "Requested-Service-Unit" is filled as part of CCR (Initial) Gy request. (is this needed)Because it looks like from the Message sequence in the book CCRequest Terminate is sent with the Used Bytes at PGW. Then OCS calculates the "total bytes" and calculates the charge based on this..{Refer fig 9.3 in the book}
thanks
