Methods, systems, and computer readable media for location-based policy enhancement

摘要

According to one aspect, the subject matter described herein includes a method for location-based policy enhancement. The method includes receiving a message containing location information identifying a current geographic location for a user device. The method also includes analyzing the location information to determine if the user device is located in a geographic region associated with a location based policy enhancement offer. The method further includes in response to determining that the user device is located in the geographic region associated with the location-based policy enhancement offer, generating a signaling message containing instructions to modify a policy attribute associated with the user device, wherein the policy attribute corresponds to the location-based policy enhancement offer. The method further includes communicating the signaling message to a policy control function associated with the user device.

1. A method for location-based policy enhancement, the method comprising:
receiving, from a user device, a message containing a policy enhancement code, wherein the policy enhancement code is associated with a location-based policy enhancement offer, wherein the policy enhancement code is obtained by utilizing a camera associated with the user device to derive the policy enhancement code from a bar code or a quick response (QR) code; receiving a message containing location information identifying a current geographic location for the user device, wherein the user device is a recipient of the location-based policy enhancement offer containing the policy enhancement code associated with the location-based policy enhancement offer; analyzing the location information to determine if the user device is located in a geographic region associated with the location-based policy enhancement offer, wherein the location-based policy enhancement offer offers an increased download bit rate associated with the user device if the current geographic location for the user device corresponds to the geographic region associated with the location-based policy enhancement offer; in response to determining that the user device is located in the geographic region associated with the location-based policy enhancement offer, generating a signaling message containing instructions to modify a policy attribute associated with the user device, wherein the policy attribute corresponds to the location-based policy enhancement offer; and communicating the signaling message to a policy control function associated with the user device.
