The screen capture shows a sample policy condition, where the subscribed PRA area matches one of PRA area(s).
matches-op
One of the following:
  • matches one of (default)
  • does not match any of
pra-areas
A single area or multiple specific PRA areas selected from the defined PRA areas, manually input, or Default.
  • CMP defined PRA lists

    Select one or more defined PRA lists

  • Manual Input

    Enter the identifier for the PRA in hexadecimal format or a custom PRA from a subscriber profile in the format {User.CustomField}.

    The manual input format for multiple PRAs is:
    PRA
    identifier1 [;PRA element list1],PRA identifier2 [; PRA element
    list2],…

    The format of PRA identifier and PRA Element List is according to section 8.108 of TS 29.274[9]. It is specified in Hexadecimal format. If only has a PRA identifier then the PRA area is a predefined PRA area. If both PRA identifier and PRA Element List exists then it is a UE-dedicated PRA Area. The manual input is typically used to input a temporally PRA area. The manual input can also be used to get a PRA area from Custom field of subscriber. For example, {User.Custom4}. If the operator wants to manually input a PRA area they need to get the Hexadecimal value for each. Different vendors/operators should interact or exchange PRA info using the Hexadecimal representation as defined in section 8.108 of TS 29.274[9].

    The manual input format for a single PRA is:
    PRA identifier [, PRA element list]
  • Default

    The PRA to which the user equipment is already subscribed, if any.

    The Default option specifies using the default PRA area. The default PRA is the PRA area subscribed or provisioned by the PCRF for the UE during IP-CAN session life cycle. It is either a UE- dedicated or predefined PRA area. It can be a PRA area that is retrieved from the subscriber profile (normally UE-dedicated) or a PRA area defined in the CMP (normally predefined). When used , this Default option means to check whether the UE has subscribed to a PRA area but does not care what the PRA area is.

Description

Triggers a policy that is only evaluated for one or more specific PRA values. If default area is selected as the definition for the parameter pra-areas, the policy is only evaluated if the user equipment is already subscribed to a PRA.
