Abstract
Aspects of the present disclosure are directed to communication between a policy engine and a charging engine of a wireless communication network. In one example, the charging engine maintains a data store that includes counters and corresponding service identifiers of one or more subscribers of the wireless communication network. In operation, the charging engine receives a status request message from the policy engine, where the status request message is a request for information on a counter associated with a service identifier. The charging engine may determine that the service identifier is not included in the data store and in response thereto generate a default response message that includes nominal data. The charging engine then sends the default response message to the policy engine to enable the policy engine to implement a default policy for allowing a data session between a user device and the wireless communication network.
