Introduction to Policy Management

Oracle Communications Policy Management system provides the mechanism that allows communications service providers (carriers) to control and charge for subscribers' access to network resources. The central component of Policy Management is the Multimedia Policy Engine (MPE) device. The MPE device functions as a dynamic policy and charging rules function (PCRF).

Figure 1 shows how the Policy Management system fits into and interacts with other elements of a wireless network.
