This chapter
identifies features and functionality added to, modified for, or
deprecated from 14.0 Packet Data Interworking Function (PDIF) software
releases.
PDIF Feature Changes
as of June 29, 2012
This section
provides information on PDIF feature changes in release 14.0.
IMPORTANT:
For more information
regarding features in this section, refer to the Packet Data Interworking
Function Administration Guide for this release.
New PDIF Features
This section
identifies new PDIF features available in release 14.0.
Gx+ and
Gy Interface Support via HA
To provide secure WiFi
access between the MS and the PDIF via PMIPv4 (Proxy Mobile IP version
4), this feature enables the PDIF and the FA (Foreign Agent) to
run on the same chassis and enables the PDIF/FA to forward
the following three attribute-value pairs (AVPs) to the HA in a
PMIP RRQ (Proxy MIP Registration Request) message:
- Location information
for the WiFi access point in the form of a BSID (Base Station Identifier)
per 3GPP2.
- RAT (Radio Access Type)
of WiFi per RFC 5563.
- User identity in the
form of an NAI (Network Access Identifier) per RFC 2486.
After receiving these
AVPs from the PDIF/FA, the HA forwards the AVPs over the
Gx+ or Gy interface to the PCRF (Policy Charging and Rules
Function) or OCS (Online Charging System). Optionally, this feature
allows the co-location of the PDIF/FA and HA on one chassis.
For descriptions of
the CLI commands for this feature, see the section “New
PDIF Configuration Commands”. For related PDIF performance
management changes, see the section “Modified PDIF Performance Commands”.
