Abstract

A policy control function receives, 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. The policy control function sends, to a network function, a Diameter command comprising one or more QoS policies of the MCVideo service.

Claims (46)

1. A method comprising:

receiving, by a policy control function from a mission critical video (MCVideo) application function, a DIAMETER AA-Request (AAR) command comprising an attribute value pair (AVP) comprising an MCVideo-identifier of an MCVideo service; and

sending, by the policy control function to a network function, one or more QoS policies of the MCVideo service.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein:

the DIAMETER AAR command further comprises a quality of service (QOS) parameter indicating a QoS of the MCVideo service; and

the one or more QoS policies are based on the QoS parameter.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein:

the DIAMETER AAR command further comprises a priority of the MCVideo service; and

the one or more QoS policies are based on the priority of the MCVideo service.

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

5. 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.

6. The method of claim 5 , 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.

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

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 control function device comprising:

one or more processors; and

memory storing instructions that, when executed, cause the policy control function 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 of an MCVideo service; and

send, to a network function, one or more QoS policies of the MCVideo service.

12. The policy control function device of claim 11 , wherein:

the DIAMETER AAR command further comprises a quality of service (QOS) parameter indicating a QoS of the MCVideo service; and

the one or more QoS policies are based on the QoS parameter.

13. The policy control function device of claim 11 , wherein:

the DIAMETER AAR command further comprises a priority of the MCVideo service; and

the one or more QoS policies are based on the priority of the MCVideo service.

14. The policy control function device of claim 11 , wherein the instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, further cause the policy control function device to enforce the one or more QoS policies on a plurality of packets transmitted via an MCVideo bearer.

15. The policy control function device of claim 11 , wherein the instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, further cause the policy control function device to establish, 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.

16. The policy control function device of claim 15 , wherein the instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, further cause the policy control function device to modify, 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.

17. The policy control function device of claim 16 , wherein the modifying of the floor control is performed by the first wireless device in response to releasing the floor.

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

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

20. A system comprising:

a mission critical video (MCVideo) application function device; and

a policy control function device comprising:

one or more processors; and

memory storing instructions that, when executed, cause the policy control function device to:

receive, from the MCVideo application function device, a DIAMETER AA-Request (AAR) command comprising an attribute value pair (AVP) comprising an MCVideoidentifier of an MCVideo service; and

send, to a network function, one or more QoS policies of the MCVideo service.
