29.2123GPPPolicy and Charging Control (PCC)Reference pointsRelease 17TS

This annex defines the enhancement to Gx/Sd reference point for supporting policy and charging control in the fixed broadband access network in the convergent scenario where a single operator is deploying both the fixed broadband access network and the Evolved Packet Core (EPC).

The scope of this Annex is to define the convergent scenario where the PCRF controls directly the network element(s) in the fixed broadband access without the mediation of a different policy server, such as the Broadband Policy Control Function (BPCF).

Policy and charging control is provided for both Non-seamless WLAN offload traffic from a 3GPP UE and the traffic from fixed devices.
