Abstract
A policy server (e.g., Policy and Charging Rules Function), a policy enforcement device (e.g., Policy and Charging Enforcement Function, Traffic Detection Function), and various methods are described herein for dynamically excluding active service add-ons from bearer throttling for user terminals. The active service add-on indicates that bandwidth of the service traffic associated with a corresponding service is to be limited to a defined value after the user terminal consumes a defined amount of data associated with the corresponding service during a defined time period. The bearer throttling entails limiting the bearer bandwidth to the defined value after the user terminal has consumed the defined amount of data during the defined time period.
