After obtaining the subscription information from the SPR, the PCRF stores the information in the local database and then generates the corresponding policy information based on the subscription information stored in the local database. The PCRF allows you to manage the associations between subscribers and services, including subscription information and service mappings. The UPCC Web UI allows you to add, modify, delete, or query subscription information. The UPCC enables carriers to simplify the management of subscribers by classifying subscribers into groups according to different subscriber attributes

This feature allows the UPCC to exert static policy control over the PCEF based on Diameter protocol. When an IP-CAN session is established, the UPCC makes a policy decision according to the initial subscription information, and delivers the policy control rules to the PCEF for enforcement. To improve reliability and support the exchange of a large number of messages between the UPCC and a peer NE, the UPCC allows you to configure multiple signaling links (for example, TCP or SCTP based Diameter links) between the UPCC and a peer NE. A link is identified by an IP quintuple. Multiple links can work in active/standby mode or load balancing mode Service package is a logical combination of services provided for service promotion, which enables a subscriber to enjoy multiple service functions by subscribing to a service package. A service package is manageable, and independent on the UPCC.

performance management system provides some commonly used measurement entities by default. In addition, it allows you to customize measurement entities by combining original measurement entities based on arithmetic expressions. This helps you to collect the performance data and observe the operating status of the network conveniently display alarm information. It reports abnormalities that occur when the system is running. The alarms are output to the alarm maintenance terminal or the alarm box

The configuration management function allows you to configure data online and offline. It allows you to configure the data by using Human Machine Language (MML) commands. This simplifies data configuration because you need to only compile the data configuration scripts. Hardware management involves the following:

Software management involves the following:

The UPCC can process the files containing multiple to-be-executed MML commands. This function enables the hardware and software information of the UPCC to be queried through the OMU or EMS Interface signaling tracing refers to the dynamic and real-time monitoring of the connection process, resource occupancy, and service flow of ports and signaling links. The traced information can be saved for future reference. The traced information helps you quickly locate the causes of connection failures, find a solution to troubleshoot a problem, and learn about the connection condition between sites. The UPCC adopts redundancy and backup design. It achieves redundancy for all the components The UPCC provides a highly reliable power supply system to ensure uninterrupted power supply. The distributed structure allows multiple functional entities that are identical in a system to work in load-sharing mode to implement a function. The most distinguished feature of the distributed structure is resource sharing in the system. When a functional entity fails, the other functional entities automatically take over the load of the faulty entity, ensuring uninterrupted service provisioning The distributed structure allows multiple functional entities that are identical in a system to work in load-sharing mode to implement a function. The most distinguished feature of the distributed structure is resource sharing in the system. When a functional entity fails, the other functional entities automatically take over the load of the faulty entity, ensuring uninterrupted service provisioning The UPCC adopts dual planes for IP communications and dual dual-star architecture to prevent single-point faults. The service plane and the management plane are independent of each other, ensuring system reliability. The UPCC automatically adjusts the fan speed according to the temperature of the system The UPCC adopts real-time fault detection and self-healing designs to ensure the reliability of its software.

For the components working in active/standby mode, services can be automatically or manually switched over to the standby component when the active component is faulty. The flow control function prevents the UPCC from being congested when the traffic volume exceeds the upper limit of the processing capability of the UPCC This feature allows the system to be rolled back when the system upgrade fails. This function minimizes the impact of upgrade failures on the system.

The distributed structure allows multiple functional entities that are identical in a system to work in load-sharing mode to accomplish a function. The most distinguished feature of the distributed structure is resource sharing within the system. When a functional entity is faulty, the load is automatically switched over to other functional entities. Therefore, the service provisioning of the entire system is not adversely affected. The UPCC automatically balances the load among different software modules.

The UPCC supports the Duration-Based Dynamic Policy Control feature. This feature allows the UPCC to trigger a particular policy (such as limiting traffic during busy hours or increasing bandwidths during weekends) at a specified time or on a specified day of the week or month.

The UPCC supports the Service-Zone-Based Dynamic Policy Control feature. - Interface with the GGSN/PDSN/NAS: IP protocol. - Interface with the Radius Server (AAA is used as Radius Server generally): RADIUS Accounting protocol. - Interface with the NMS: SNMPV1/V2c/V3 - Interface with the Offline Charging Server: FTP/SFTP protocol - Interface with the internet: IP protocol - Interface with the SMSC: SMPP3.3/SMPP3.4 - Interface with the Online Charging Server: Gy protocol - Interface with provisioning system: SOAP protocol Including subscriber information synchronization and Subscription / unsubscription relationship synchronization.
