Abstract

A method () and apparatus () according to this disclosure integrate policy evaluation into the process of provisioning temporary products () in a telecommunications network (), in a manner that results in consumption of a temporary product () being governed by values of one or more policy-related parameters that are specific to the temporary product (), rather than being governed by default values for such parameters. Accordingly, an Online Charging System, OCS, () includes or is associated with a network node () that triggers policy evaluation in conjunction with authorizing charging and policy sessions in the context of temporary product provisioning, to thereby provide the involved policy node () with policy-related information that is specific to the temporary product.
