  3. Policy Configuration

    Policy configuration components are used by MATRIXX Charging Application and MATRIXX Policy Application for charging and rating.

  4. Session Management Policy Configuration

    The Gx session management policy reference point is located between a Policy and Charging Enforcement Function (PCEF) and the Policy and Charging Rules Function (PCRF) internal to MATRIXX.

  5. PCC Rules

    PCC (Policy and Charging Control) Rules define the treatment to apply to subscriber traffic based on the application used by the subscriber, or on information about the data flow. You configure PCC rules that are activated either dynamically or by the _glossary/pcrf.html.

    • About My MATRIXX Help

      My MATRIXX Help provides information about My MATRIXX, a web application that offers a central location for creating pricing plans and configuring MATRIXX charging and rating behaviors. My MATRIXX is intended for pricing administrators who are responsible for creating and maintaining pricing plans and for IT administrators or developers who configure the rating and charging behavior of the online charging system.

    • Introducing My MATRIXX

      The following information describes the My MATRIXX interface.

    • Using My MATRIXX

      You use My MATRIXX to validate and compile the pricing configuration file, compile pricing, and set up and manage user roles and domains; create and manage catalog items and catalogs, manage eligibility features and rules, and manage the Normalizers interface; create and manage balances, pricing, offers and bundles, general components, and application-related components; and policies for charging and rating. Use General Configuration to create components that support pricing items and charging functionality such as announcements pricing components, attribute definitions, denial codes, products, decision tables, Final Unit Indication (FUI) profiles and generators, general ledger transaction types, notification profiles, normalizer templates, and subscriber information query actions, profiles, and generators.

    • Home Menu

      The following information describes the tasks that can be performed using the My MATRIXX Home menu.

    • Catalog Configuration

      Catalog Configuration contains the Catalog Items interface that you use to create, change, or delete catalog items; the Eligibility interface to manage eligibility features and rules to determine whether a subscriber, group, or device is eligible for a catalog item; and the Normalizers interface you use to edit normalizers.

    • Charging Configuration

      Charging Configuration has the interfaces you use to create and manage balance, pricing, product offer and bundle, general, and application-related components.

    • Policy Configuration

      Policy configuration components are used by MATRIXX Charging Application and MATRIXX Policy Application for charging and rating.

      • Policy Overview

        You must have the Pricing User domain role to access this menu and all its components. For more information, see the discussion about technical user roles.

      • Policy Session Mappings

        In MATRIXX 3G, 4G, and 5G environments using MATRIXX Policy Application, each policy session includes an Attr field of type MtxPolicySessionExtension that includes any custom policy session fields. You can map fields in the incoming network message to these Attr fields, or to any custom MATRIXX Data Container (MDC) fields that extend it, to save the field value throughout Gx, N40, Sy, and N28 policy sessions. This allows you to set up rating based on that value.

      • Policy Components

        The 5G MATRIXX policy components include spending limit configuration components. The 3G/4G MATRIXX policy components include spending limit configuration components, session management policy components, policy session mappings, event trigger groups, and event triggers.

      • Event Trigger Groups

        Diameter Gx event triggers define when the PCEF is notified of changing network conditions. An event trigger group is a collection of event triggers that are assigned to a policy profile.

      • Event Triggers

        Gx event triggers tell the Policy and Charging Enforcement Function (PCEF) which network events must send a new Credit-Control Response (CCR) to the Policy and Charging Rules Function (PCRF) for a possible policy change. Each event trigger has a string value name and an associated non-negative integer value.

      • Spending Limit Configuration

        Configure the spending limit control components when using a Policy and Charging Rules Function (PCRF) or Policy Control Function (PCF) that is external to MATRIXX Engine. For 5G MATRIXX environments, the spending limit control configuration reference point (N28) is located between your external PCF and MATRIXX Engine as a Charging Function (CHF). For 3G/4G environments, the spending limit control configuration reference point (Diameter Sy) is located between an external PCRF and MATRIXX Engine as an OCS.

      • Session Management Policy Configuration

        The Gx session management policy reference point is located between a Policy and Charging Enforcement Function (PCEF) and the Policy and Charging Rules Function (PCRF) internal to MATRIXX.

        • Session Management Policy Components

          A session management policy component implements the business logic that decides which PCC rules are returned to the PCEF for a given set of circumstances.

        • Session Management Policy Profiles

          The Gx Session Management profiles contain the criteria that determine the Policy and Charging Control (PCC) Rule returned to one or more Policy and Charging Enforcement Functions (PCEFs) in response to a Credit-Control Response (CCR) or when there is a subscriber status change.

        • PCC Rules

          PCC (Policy and Charging Control) Rules define the treatment to apply to subscriber traffic based on the application used by the subscriber, or on information about the data flow. You configure PCC rules that are activated either dynamically or by the _glossary/pcrf.html.

          • Dynamic PCC Rules

            Dynamic PCC rules are dynamically provisioned by the PCRF to the PCEF through the session management policy interface.

          • Static PCC Rules

            Static PCC rules and rule groups represent rules defined in the PCEF that can be applied based on a policy decision.

        • QoS Profiles

          QoS profiles define the quality of service provided by a specific policy profile. Multiple QoS profiles can be assigned to a policy profile.

PCC Rules

PCC (Policy and Charging Control) Rules define the treatment to apply to subscriber traffic based on the application used by the subscriber, or on information about the data flow. You configure PCC rules that are activated either dynamically or by the Policy and Charging Rules Function (PCRF).

  • Dynamic PCC Rules
    Dynamic PCC rules are dynamically provisioned by the PCRF to the PCEF through the session management policy interface.
  • Static PCC Rules
    Static PCC rules and rule groups represent rules defined in the PCEF that can be applied based on a policy decision.
