Fair Usage
Fueled by competitive pricing plans and extensive use of smartphones and tablets to access bandwidth-intensive applications, mobile Internet usage is growing exponentially. As a result, service providers are experiencing network congestion—especially when 80% of network resources are being used by 5% of subscribers.
One approach to managing network congestion is the implementation of flexible, real-time fair usage controls.
Amdocs' fair usage solution allows service providers to do this flexibly based on monthly usage limits and within individual subscriber sessions. Our intelligent policy controls support flexible deployment options with a range of different policy enforcement points such as gateways and DPIs.
Ingredients
Amdocs Policy Controller (PCRF)
Amdocs Policy Controller is a high performance, dynamic policy control decision function that supports metering and granular, real-time policy control.
Flexible Real-Time Quota Management
Enables meter data usage per subscriber, application, or device and offers intelligent controls that detect when certain thresholds have been reached and modify existing QoS and bandwidth limits.
Notification Framework
Notifies subscribers once data limits have been reached and offers upsell services like top up or bandwidth boost.
Flexible Metering Options
Metered subscribers using both the Gx and Gy interfaces, and leverages multiple enforcement points in the network to gain more control both at the edge and the core.
Nutritional Benefits
- Manage congestion in real time
- Provide full transparency to customers to allow them to see then they are being downspeeded temporarily or their service will be blocked
- Use truly adaptive controls to manage network congestion based on subscriber behaviour, usage thresholds, and location
