Telecommunication network support for service based policy in roaming configurations

An apparatus in one example may have a functionality of a policy decision function divided into two parts; one part representing a home network application function and the other part representing visited network bearer resources and local policies. The one part of the policy decision function supports communications with the application function, and represents the home network and application in a request for QoS control to the visited network. The other part of the policy decision function supports visited network interactions with a policy enforcement function, and represents visited network local policy related to resource utilization and roaming agreement-based policy.
