Abstract
(EN)

A PCRF node (120) for a communications system, equipped with an interface (Gx) towards a PCEF node (130), in the system. The PCRF node (120) is arranged to use said interface to provide the PCEF node (130) with new or updated PCC rules for a User Equipment. The PCRF node (120) is also equipped with an interface (Sy) towards an OCS node (115), and is arranged to as a result of a trigger signal, request a credit indication for the new or updated PCC rules for the User Equipment from the OCS node (115) over the interface to the OCS node (115), to receive a credit indication for the new or updated PCC rules for the User Equipment from the OCS node (115) over the interface (Sy) to the OCS node, and to provide said credit information to the PCEF node (130). An OCS node (115) is also disclosed.
