Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2017212318A1] A charging server in a core network stores subscriber records containing subscriber identifiers for mobile devices. The charging server receives a core session request from a gateway server, indicating an attempt by a mobile device to communicate, e.g. with a wide area network (WAN). The request includes the mobile device's subscriber identifier and currently assigned network identifier. The charging server updates the corresponding subscriber record with an association between the subscriber and network identifiers. The charging server also receives a steering session request including the network identifier from a traffic steering server in an intermediation network; the traffic steering server sends the steering session request upon receiving the network identifier from a core network policy server. Using the network identifier in the steering session request and the stored association, the charging server retrieves the correct subscriber record, and accepts or rejects the establishment of a steering data session based on the content of the retrieved subscriber record.
