Policy and Charging in 5G
TPR1058x | Expert-Led Live | 5G Core | Expert
Course Duration: 4 hours
This training provides a high-level technical overview of the Policy and Charging Control (PCC) role in 5G. The training explains the PCC architecture for roaming and non-roaming and the role of the Policy Control Function (PCF) network function in the PCC rules. In addition, the training describes the interactions of the PCF with other 5G network functions and application functions for PCC and QoS purposes. The training also outlines the role of the Network Data Analytics Function (NWDAF) input to the PCC rules. Finally, the training summarize important 3GPP release 16 and 17 enhancements to the PCC and Quality of Service (QoS).
Intended Audience
A high-level technical overview to personnel involved in product management, marketing, planning, design, engineering, and operations
