F.4.1 Introduction

The PCC procedures specified in clause 4.1, 4.2 and 4.3 apply to the Fixed Broadband Access network convergence with the following exceptions or restrictions:

– Roaming scenarios are not applicable to fixed devices and RGs.

– Gxx reference point is not used.

– UE requested bearer resource initiation, modification or termination procedure is not supported.

– Bearer procedures are not supported in the fixed network.

– Bearer Control Mode (BCM) concept does not apply.

– Authorized QoS per bearer and authorized MBR per QCI are not applicable

– MPS Services, RLOS and IMS Emergency Services are not supported.

F.4.2 IP-CAN Session Establishment

The PCEF in the IP Edge initiates the IP-CAN session establishment as specified in clause 4.1, with the exceptions as described in Annex F.4.1.The PCRF shall provide parameters to the PCEF in the IP Edge at IP-CAN session establishment as described in 3GPP TS 29.212 [9] Annex G.5.2.

F.4.3 IP-CAN Session Termination

F.4.3.1 UE-Initiated

UE-initiated IP-CAN session termination is not applicable to convergent scenario.

F.4.3.2 PCEF-Initiated

For PCEF-Initiated IP-CAN session termination the procedures described in clause 4.2.2 apply, with the exceptions described in clause F.4.1.

F.4.3.3 PCRF-Initiated

For PCRF-Initiated IP-CAN session termination the procedures described in clause 4.2.3 apply, with the exceptions described in clause F.4.1.

F.4.4 IP-CAN Session Modification

F.4.4.1 PCRF-Initiated IP-CAN Session Modification

For PCRF-Initiated IP-CAN session modification, the procedures described in clause 4.3.1 apply, with the exceptions described in clause F.4.1. The PCRF shall provide parameters to the PCEF in the IP Edge at IP-CAN session modification as described in 3GPP TS 29.212 [9] Annex G.5.4.2.

F.4.4.2 PCEF-Initiated IP-CAN Session Modification

For PCEF-Initiated IP-CAN session modification, the procedures described in clause 4.3.2 apply, with the exceptions described in clause F.4.1. The PCRF shall provide parameters to the PCEF in the IP Edge at IP-CAN session modification as described in 3GPP TS 29.212 [9] Annex G.5.4.1.
