ITU-T Q.3223 (06/2009) FOREWORD The International Telecommunication Union (ITU) is the United Nations specialized agency in the field of telecommunications, information and communication technologies (ICTs). The

11、 ITU Telecommunication Standardization Sector (ITU-T) is a permanent organ of ITU. ITU-T is responsible for studying technical, operating and tariff questions and issuing Recommendations on them with a view to standardizing telecommunications on a worldwide basis. The World Telecommunication Standar

12、dization Assembly (WTSA), which meets every four years, establishes the topics for study by the ITU-T study groups which, in turn, produce Recommendations on these topics. The approval of ITU-T Recommendations is covered by the procedure laid down in WTSA Resolution 1. In some areas of information t

13、echnology which fall within ITU-Ts purview, the necessary standards are prepared on a collaborative basis with ISO and IEC. NOTE In this Recommendation, the expression “Administration“ is used for conciseness to indicate both a telecommunication administration and a recognized operating agency. Comp

14、liance with this Recommendation is voluntary. However, the Recommendation may contain certain mandatory provisions (to ensure e.g., interoperability or applicability) and compliance with the Recommendation is achieved when all of these mandatory provisions are met. The words “shall“ or some other ob

15、ligatory language such as “must“ and the negative equivalents are used to express requirements. The use of such words does not suggest that compliance with the Recommendation is required of any party. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS ITU draws attention to the possibility that the practice or implementa

16、tion of this Recommendation may involve the use of a claimed Intellectual Property Right. ITU takes no position concerning the evidence, validity or applicability of claimed Intellectual Property Rights, whether asserted by ITU members or others outside of the Recommendation development process. As

17、of the date of approval of this Recommendation, ITU had not received notice of intellectual property, protected by patents, which may be required to implement this Recommendation. However, implementers are cautioned that this may not represent the latest information and are therefore strongly urged

22、a policy decision physical entity (Ru Interface) 1 Scope This Recommendation defines the requirements and protocol for the Ru interface (identical to the TC-TC1 interface defined in ITU-T Y.2012) between a transport location management physical entity (TLM-PE) in a network attachment control entity

23、(NACE) and a policy decision physical entity (PD-PE) in a resource and admission control entity (RACE) of ITU-T NGN release 1 architecture. Whenever applicable, this Recommendation specifies the requirements for the Ru interface referring to the Diameter base specifications. Whenever needed, extensi

24、ons to Diameter-based specifications are provided in this Recommendation. 2 References The following ITU-T Recommendations and other references contain provisions which, through reference in this text, constitute provisions of this Recommendation.

39、 Overview The network attachment control function (NACF) maintains information about IP-connectivity access sessions associated with user equipment connected to the NGN. This information is stored in the transport location management physical entity (TLM-PE) and it is pushed to or pulled from the PD

40、-PE in the RACE when the initial attachment is established or the PD-PE needs the information to make a decision (see Figure 5-1): 5.2 Reference point This clause describes the Ru reference point.

44、hysical entity that implements the functionalities of the transport location management functional entity (TLM-FE) defined in the NACF. The TLM-PE registers the association between the IP address allocated to the terminal and related network location information provided by the NAC-PE, for example,

45、access transport equipment characteristics, line identifier (logical access ID), IP edge identity, etc. The TLM-PE registers the association between network location information received from the NAC-PE and geographical location information. The TLM-PE may also store the identity of a user or a term

46、inal to which the IP address has been allocated (information received from the TAA-PE), as well as the user network QoS profile and user preferences regarding the privacy of location information. In case the TLM-PE does not store the identity/profile of the user/terminal, the TLM-PE shall be able to

47、 retrieve this information from the TAA-PE. The TLM-PE responds to location queries from service control functions and applications. The actual information delivered by the TLM-PE may take various forms (e.g., network location, geographical coordinates, postal address, etc.), depending on agreements

48、 with the requestor and on user preferences regarding the privacy of its location. The TLM-PE interfaces with the NAC-PE to establish the association between the IP address, which is allocated by the NAC-FE to the end-user equipment, and the line ID. The TLM-PE also registers user network profile in

49、formation (received from the TAA-PE at authentication) to make this profile information available to the RACE during authentication of the terminal. The TLM-PE is able to correlate the information received from NAC-PE and TAA-PE based on the logical access ID. 5.3.2 Policy decision physical entity (PD-PE) The PD-PE is a physical entity that implements the functionalities of the policy decision functional entity (PD-FE) defined in ITU-T Y.2111, which coordinates the resource reservation requests rec
