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”.
