Abstract:
Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a method performed at a Policy and Charging Rule Function, PCRF, entity for provisioning policy information. The method comprises preparing policy information for provision to a PCEF entity and then provisioning the policy information to the PCEF entity. The method also comprises indicating a recurring time interval for applying a policy associated with the policy information to the PCEF entity such that the policy can be applied at the PCEF repeatedly at the recurring time interval without further provisioning of the policy information to the PCEF entity. Correspondingly, there is also provided a method performed at a Policy and Charging Enforcement Function, PCEF, entity for applying a policy. Apparatuses embodied at the PCRF and PCEF are also provided.
