See full text

Systems and methods for validating and applying modifications to a policy control function (PCF) of a station. The methods include generating a PCF package including a modification to a PCF, and determining whether the PCF package is to be transmitted to the station by a first or second entity. The methods further include when the PCF package is to be transmitted by the first entity, including a first signature of the first entity in a deliverer field of the PCF package, and when the PCF package is to be transmitted by the second entity, including the first signature in an owner field and a second signature of the second entity in the deliverer field. The methods further include receiving the PCF package from the first or second entity, determining whether the PCF package is valid, and applying the modification to the PCF when it is determined the PCF package is valid.
