Abstract
Examples disclosed herein provide systems, methods, and software for providing default policy information from a policy and charging rules function (PCRF). In one example, a PCRF is configured to identify an interruption in communications with an online charging server. Responsive to this identification, the PCRF transfers a default policy requirement notification to a packet data network gateway. Based on the default policy requirement notification, the packet data network gateway transfers a default policy rule request to the PCRF. In response to the request, the PCRF identifies default policy rules and transfers the default policy rules to the packet data network gateway to be implemented.
