ONBOARDING POLICY CHARGING FUNCTIONS IN WIRELESS NETWORKS
Technology is disclosed herein for onboarding a policy charging function (PCF) of a wireless network to replace another network PCF. In an implementation, a network repository function (NRF) determines that a first PCF is offline or unavailable and identifies at least one other network function which is subscribed to the first PCF. The NRF instructs the network function to replace an identity of the first PCF with an identity of a second PCF in a PCF profile maintained by the network function. The network function, in response to the instruction, sends to the second PCF session information for active sessions associated with the first PCF along with a flag indicating that the active sessions are active. The second PCF receives the session information and rebuilds the active sessions in a database. The second PCF then manages the active sessions based on the session information in place of the first PCF.

For example, a first user device may communicate a text communication to a second user device. Said text communication may then be converted into an audio communication based on the user preference.
