Abstract
Apparatus and methods for policy decisions regarding a service data flow enabled for service chaining One embodiment comprises a policy control element configured to make policy decisions for a session. The policy control element communicates with an offline charging system. The policy control element detects a new service added to the service chain implemented for the service data flow, and transmits a charging rules request to the offline charging system responsive to detecting the new service being added to the service chain. The policy control element receives a response from the offline charging system that includes offline charging rules that are mapped to the new service of the service chain, makes a policy decision for the service data flow based on the offline charging rules, and transmits the policy decision to a policy enforcement element.
