Abstract
Systems, methods, and apparatus for centrally managing service related information within a roaming environment are presented herein. A decision component can be configured to decide, based on information associated with a service level agreement, whether to accept, reject, or dynamically negotiate a communication service requested via a mobile device roaming within a visited network. Furthermore, an analysis component can be configured to map one or more parameters related to a quality of the communication service to one or more service policies as a function of the information. Moreover, a distribution component can be configured to distribute the one or more service policies to one or more policy servers of the network; or forward information of the one or more service policies to another network.
