Methods, systems, and computer readable media for service detection over an RX interface

摘要

According to one aspect, the subject matter described herein includes a method for communicating service data flow (SDF) event information. The method includes steps occurring at a policy and charging rules function (PCRF) node. The method also includes communicating, via an Rx interface, a request to a deep packet inspection (DPI) node to be notified when an SDF event occurs. The method further includes receiving notification from the DPI node that the SDF event has occurred.

1. A method for communicating service data flow (SDF) event information, the method comprising:
at a policy charging and rules function (PCRF) node:
communicating, via an Rx interface, a request to a deep packet inspection (DPI) node to be notified when an SDF event occurs, wherein the DPI node is separate from a policy charging and enforcement function (PCEF) node;receiving notification from the DPI node that the SDF event has occurred; andin response to receiving notification from the DPI node that the SDF event has occurred, communicating a policy and charging rule to the PCEF node, wherein the policy and charging rule is sent via a Gx interface.
