Abstract

A policy and charging rules function (PCRF) receives from a mission critical video (MCVideo) application function, a DIAMETER AA-Request (AAR) command. The DIAMETER AAR command comprises: an attribute value pair (AVP) comprising an MCVideo-identifier identifying an MCVideo service; and a quality of service (QoS) parameter indicating a QoS of the MCVideo service. The PCRF determines one or more QoS policies based on the MCVideo-identifier and the QoS parameter. The PCRF transmits to a policy charging enforcement function (PCEF), a DIAMETER command comprising the one or more QoS policies.

Claims (44)

1. A method comprising:

receiving, by a policy and charging rules function (PCRF) from a mission critical video (MCVideo) application function, a DIAMETER AA-Request (AAR) command comprising:

an attribute value pair (AVP) comprising an MCVideo-identifier identifying an MCVideo service; and

a quality of service (QoS) parameter indicating a QoS of the MCVideo service;

determining, by the PCRF, one or more QoS policies based on the MCVideo-identifier and the QoS parameter; and

transmitting, by the PCRF to a policy charging enforcement function (PCEF), a DIAMETER command comprising the one or more QoS policies.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein:

the DIAMETER AA-Request (AAR) command further comprises a priority of the MCVideo service; and

the determining the one or more QoS policies is further based on the priority of the MCVideo service.

3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising enforcing, by the PCEF, the one or more QoS policies on a plurality of packets transmitted via an MCVideo bearer.

4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising establishing, for an MCVideo application, an MCVideo bearer for a mission critical video call among a plurality of wireless devices comprising:

a first wireless device; and

a second wireless device.

5. The method of claim 4 , further comprising modifying, by the MCVideo application function, a floor of a floor control from the first wireless device to the second wireless device for the mission critical video call.

6. The method of claim 5 , wherein the modifying the floor control is performed by the first wireless device in response to releasing the floor.

7. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the QoS parameter indicate a priority.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein a session initiation protocol (SIP) Resource-Priority header field triggers the DIAMETER AAR command.

9. The method of claim 8 , wherein the SIP Resource-Priority header field indicates an emergency priority.

10. The method of claim 1 , wherein the MCVideo application function resides in at least one of:

a MCVideo application server; and

a proxy call session control function.

11. A policy and charging rules function (PCRF) device comprising:

one or more processors; and

memory storing instructions that, when executed, cause the PCRF device to:

receive from a mission critical video (MCVideo) application function, a DIAMETER AA-Request (AAR) command comprising:

an attribute value pair (AVP) comprising an MCVideo-identifier identifying an MCVideo service; and

a quality of service (QoS) parameter indicating a QoS of the MCVideo service;

determining one or more QoS policies based on the MCVideo-identifier and the QoS parameter; and

transmit to a policy charging enforcement function (PCEF), a DIAMETER command comprising the one or more QoS policies.

12. The PCRF device of claim 11 , wherein:

the DIAMETER AA-Request (AAR) command further comprises a priority of the MCVideo service; and

the determining the one or more QoS policies is further based on the priority of the MCVideo service.

13. The PCRF device of claim 11 , wherein the instructions, when executed, further cause the PCEF device to enforce the one or more QoS policies for the QoS on a plurality of packets transmitted via a MCVideo bearer.

14. The PCRF device of claim 11 , further comprising establishing, for an MCVideo application, a MCVideo bearer for a mission critical video call among a plurality of wireless devices comprising:

a first wireless device; and

a second wireless device.

15. The PCRF device of claim 14 , wherein, the MCVideo application function modifies a floor of a floor control from the first wireless device to the second wireless device for the mission critical video call.

16. The PCRF device of claim 15 , wherein the floor control is modified by the first wireless device in response to releasing the floor.

17. The PCRF device according to claim 11 , wherein the QoS parameter indicate a priority.

18. The PCRF device of claim 11 , wherein a session initiation protocol (SIP) Resource-Priority header field triggers the DIAMETER AAR command.

19. The PCRF device of claim 18 , wherein the SIP Resource-Priority header field indicates an emergency priority.

20. The PCRF device of claim 11 , wherein the MCVideo application function resides in at least one of:

a MCVideo application server; and

a proxy call session control function.
