Abstract:
Determination of status of network nodes may be useful in various communication systems. For example, functional status exchange between network nodes, failure detection, and system functionality recovery may be applied in mobile and/or data communication networks. A method can include detecting, by a device, status of an application layer of a node. The method can also include informing, in a message, at least one other node of the status of the application layer of the node.
Abstract:
Monitoring and reporting for policy enforcement may benefit various communication systems. For example, multi-operator wholesale networks may benefit from enablement of monitoring and reporting for dynamic policy enforcement. A method may include receiving a credit control request at a policy control function, wherein the request comprises an international mobile subscriber identity. The method may also include querying, by the policy control function, a home subscriber server with a query, wherein the query comprises the international mobile subscriber identity. The method may further include obtaining a tenant identifier corresponding to the international mobile subscriber identity from the home subscriber server in response to the query. The method may additionally include responding with a response to the credit control request based on the tenant identifier.
