Note: QCI values between 1 and 254 are supported. Values other than 1-9, 65, 66, 69, and 70 are undefined.
Uplink Max Authorized Rate (bps)
Maximum authorized bandwidth in bits per second for uplinks (user equipment to network).
Downlink Max Authorized Rate (bps)
Maximum authorized bandwidth in bits per second for downlinks (network to user equipment).
Uplink Min Guaranteed Rate (bps)
Minimum guaranteed bandwidth in bits per second for uplinks (user equipment to network). Only applicable if the QoS class identifier is between 1 and 4.
Downlink Min Guaranteed Rate (bps)
Minimum guaranteed bandwidth in bits per second for downlinks (network to user equipment). Only applicable if the QoS class identifier is between 1 and 4.
ARP Priority Level
Allocation and Retention Priority level of the service flows associated with this Diameter profile. Specify 1 (highest) to 15 (lowest).
ARP Preemption Capability
Select from the following:
  • N/A (default)
  • PREEMPTION_CAPABILITY_ENABLED
  • PREEMPTION_CAPABILITY_DISABLED
ARP Preemption Vulnerability
Select from the following:
  • N/A (default)
  • PREEMPTION_VULNERABILITY_ENABLED
  • PREEMPTION_VULNERABILITY_DISABLED
Service Identifier
Credit-control service identifier associated with the traffic defined by this rule. Only applicable if online charging is enabled.
Rating Group
Credit-control rating group associated with the traffic defined by this profile. Only applicable if online charging is enabled.
Monitoring Key
Select a monitoring key that may apply to the PCC profile. For more information on monitoring keys, see Managing Monitoring Keys.
The default is N/A.
Reporting Level
Select from the following:
  • N/A (default)

Online Charging
Specifies whether or not online charging is enabled in this profile. Select from the following:

  • ENABLE_ONLINE
Offline Charging
Specifies whether or not offline charging is enabled in this profile. Select from the following:
  • N/A (default)
  • DISABLE_OFFLINE
  • ENABLE_OFFLINE
Metering Method
Defines how service data-flow traffic is metered for offline charging. Select from the following:
  • N/A (default)
  • DURATION
  • VOLUME
  • DURATION_VOLUME
  • EVENT
Note: Event-based charging is only applicable to predefined PCC rules using a service data-flow filter and any PCC rule (predefined and dynamic) using an application detection identifier.
Flow Status
Select from the following:
  • N/A (default)
  • ENABLED_UPLINK
  • ENABLED_DOWNLINK
  • ENABLED
  • DISABLED
Precedence
Precedence value of the profile. The lower the precedence, the higher the priority.
Resource Allocation Notification
Indicates that the allocation of resources for the related PCC rules will be confirmed. Select from the following:
  • N/A (default)
  • ENABLE_NOTIFICATION
Required Access Info
Select from the following:
  • N/A (default)
  • USER_LOCATION — the subscriber’s location
  • MS_TIME_ZONE — the mobile subscriber’s time zone
  • USER_LOCATION and MS_TIME_ZONE — the (mobile) subscriber’s location and time zone
If this field is not set, the device uses the values sent in AF requests; otherwise, it uses the values set here.
Sponsor Identity
Name identifying a connectivity sponsor.
Application Service Provider Identity
Name identifying an application service provider.
PS to CS Session Continuity
Indicates that the service data flow carries video and allows for packet switch (PS) to circuit switch (CS) session continuity. Select from the following:
  • N/A (default)
  • VIDEO_PS2CS_CONT_CANDIDATE
Flow Descriptions
IP flows associated with this profile. A comma-separated list of Diameter IP Filter rules following the format specified in RFC 3588 section 4.3. Used in the following cases:
  • An old traffic profile is imported, and the flow description is not an empty string.
  • An upgrade from an older version is in process and the existing traffic profile flow description is not an empty string.
For all other cases, the Use Flow Informations fields indicate the IP flows.
Use Flow Informations
IP flow description, TOS traffic class, TOS traffic class mask, and flow direction information associated with the profile. Multiple Flow Informations can be added to the same traffic profile. This field is used instead of the Flow Descriptions field.
Note: If the Flow Descriptions field is populated, then the Use Flow Informations field cannot be used.
To manage Flow Informations:
  1. Click Add next to the Use Flow Informations field to access the Flow Information fields.
  2. Double-click each column to edit the values in the column.
  3. Click Del next to an existing Flow Information row to delete the row.
Note: Variables are not available for this configuration parameter.
