The Purpose of a Service Delivery Platform
The Service Delivery Platform (SDP) is where new converged services, that combines features
of the Web domain and the Telecom domain, are built and deployed.
Oracle Communications Policy Controller 101 1 - 4
SDP Exposure and Policy Enforcement
To successfully deploy converged services you will need a Service Delivery Platform that has
features for:
• Access control
• Service exposure in multiple ways
• Customizable policy enforcement
• Extensible network integration for both old and new telecom infrastructures
• Integration with management systems
• Integration with billing systems
• Extensible integration with any IT-system
OSS = Operations Support Systems
BSS = Business Support Systems

Oracle Communications Services Gatekeeper
Services Gatekeeper uses Converged Application Server to access IMS NGN networks. Both
are built on top of Oracle WebLogic Server and inherits all the scalable and robust features
from this proven application server.
Services Gatekeeper and the Converged Application Server targets different types of telecom
networks and through tight integration between the products it is possible to build new
innovative services that spans different types of telecom networks.

Oracle Communications Service Control
If the telecom operator doesn’t need a full fledged platform for building new innovative
applications, but just want to provide integration between different types of telecom networks,
The Oracle Communications Service Control can be used. This product offers control
mechanisms through orchestration configuration of messages flowing between different types
of telecom network equipment. It can handle many different types of events in the networks and
can integrate with different types of systems and applications, including billing systems.

Oracle Communications Social Voice Communicator
Social Voice Communicator (SVC) includes tools for creating Social Voice “Group-number”
services, Social Voicemail voice-mail services, and Social Circle “friends and family” services
as part of a Service Controller implementation.
SVC provides a way to connect friends, colleagues, and family with social voice, voicemail, and other features.

Oracle Communications Virtual Private Network (OCVPN) offers VPN capabilities
and features traditionally associated with PBX-based voice VPN systems to mobile
devices.
Network operators use OCVPN to offer voice VPN services to subscribing organizations.
Subscribers typically benefit from reduced charging rates for on-netcalls, improved
employee connectivity, and a consistent user experience for their employees across
mobile and desktop telephones. The features of the OCVPN include:
• Short code dialing for mobile and PBX-based devices
• Forced on-net call handling. Get on-net call features dialing public number of on-net user.
• N-level user groups and profiles, making management of VPN policies easier.
• Support for Diameter-based online and offline charging applications
• Line identity presentation for private number calling
• Blocking of incoming or outgoing calls based on configurable black list rules
• Call duration control
• Private calling, allowing users to bypass call restrictions for personal calls
• Partner VPN relationships. Providers can apply differentiated charging rates to subscribers.
• Virtual users, which allocates on-net extension to external users

Oracle Communications Policy Controller
The 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) Release 9 defines Policy and Charging Control
signalling flows and Quality of Service (QoS) parameter mapping. The diagram in the slide
illustrates how Oracle Communications Policy Controller fits into the 3GPP requirements.
AF – Application Function
BBERF - Bearer Binding and Event Reporting Function
OCS – Online Charging System
OFCS – Offline Charging System
PCEF - Policy and Charging Enforcement Function
PCRF - Policy and Charging Resource Function
SPR - Subscription Profile Repository
V-PCRF - Visited PCRF

The embedded rules engine for real time policy rules evaluation provides:
• Predefined Rules – provisioned and defined in the PCEF. PCRF instructs the PCEF to
install or remove a rule by referring to the rule by it’s name only (e.g. “gold” rule).
• Dynamic Rules – defined to the PCRF only. PCRF instructs PCEF to install or remove a
rule by providing detailed rule information (QCI and bandwidth parameters)
• The Policy Designer is a graphical web front-end for creating policy profiles and policy
rules including QoS profiles and Charging profiles.
• Policy Event Triggering: The PCRF instructs the PCEF to arm triggers and report to the
PCRF upon trigger detection. When a trigger is reported, the PCRF can respond by
installing a new policy profile.
• Time of the day procedures:The PCRF instructs the PCEF to request for policy profile
updates for revalidation . The PCRF also instructs the PCEF to activate/deactivate policy
profiles a specific times of the day.
• Charging Addresses provisioning involves both system and session level OCS and OFCS
address configuration (primary and secondary)

The Oracle Communications Online Mediation Controller:
Maximizes existing charging components while introducing new systems:
• Legacy equipment interfaces can be emulated allowing operators to leverage existing
assets while enabling migration to newer technology.
• Flexible mediation levels the playing field to select vendors based on capabilities.
• Unified mediation allows a singular charging strategy to be applied across formerly silo'ed
networks.
Reduces costs and time to market:
• Out of the box charging protocols combined with a mediation engine provides seamless
bridging across vendors.
• The mediation engine enables rapid integration of new services.
• Unified mediation with a flexible engine reduces costs of integration and time to market.

Oracle Communications Marketing and Advertisment
Oracle Communications Marketing and Advertisment is an example of a product built on top of
Services Gatekeeper. It is an application for creating and managing a mobile advertisement
marketplace.
It can be used to manage advertisers, ad spaces and ad space owners and even provide
bidding functionality for ad spaces. It integrates with billing systems for economic settlements
and subscriber repositories for personilization of advertisements.
A popular use case example of how the Marketing and Advertisment application comes into
play, is if you would vote for your favorite in a TV show through your mobile phone. After the
vote has been registered you get a ”Thank You” message including an advertisement for a
product, that has been selected for you on basis of the information in the subscriber repository.
