The Policy and Charging Rules Function (PCRF) complies with the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP), which defines the standards and policies for telecommunication. The policy management software enables service providers to dynamically control network resources to keep track of the network behavior of users by defining real-time policies. A policy management software manages subscribers, designs business rules, ensures balanced management of subscribers, and carries out online/offline charging functions and PCRF. A policy management software operates at the network core level to carry out various specialized functions and accesses databases of subscribers. With the help of PCRF, software service providers have developed policy management software to be used by the Communication Service Providers (CSPs).
