Abstract:
1. A method for processing dynamic service flows, comprising the following processes implemented by network side: resource processing: sending, by a Service Flow Management (SFM) entity, a resource processing request to a Home Policy Flow (H-PF) server through an anchor Service Flow Authorization (SFA) entity according to a dynamic service flow processing request sent by an User Equipment (UE), and sending, by the H-PF server, a resource processing response to the SFM entity, the resource processing response carrying the results of resource processing performed by the H-PF server according to the resource processing request; air interface acknowledgement: returning, by the SFM entity, a service flow processing response to the UE; wherein the network side further comprises a serving SFA entity, the serving SFA and the anchor SFA located in the same physical entity or in different physical entities, wherein, if the serving SFA and the anchor SFA are located in the same physical entity, the serving SFA and the anchor SFA are the same logic entity and, if the serving SFA and the anchor SFA are located in different physical entities, the messages of the SFM pass through the serving SFA before arriving at the anchor SFA; the messages of the H-PF server pass through the anchor SFA before arriving at the serving SFA; wherein the method further comprises a data path processing process comprising sending, by the SFM, a data path processing request to the serving SFA, with a data path processing indication carried in the data path processing request; returning, by the serving SFA, a data path processing response to the SFM after the serving SFA performs processing; and sending, by the SFM, an acknowledgement to the serving SFA; wherein the data path processing indication is an indication of adding, changing or deleting a data path; and wherein the process for the serving SFA to perform processing comprises creating, changing or deleting a data path.
