Online Payment for Access to Heterogeneous Mobile Networks
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper describes an architecture where access to heterogeneous mobile networks is granted on the basis of online payment methods. Access methods for GSM networks were designed for subscribed post-pay customers. With the Intelligent Networks (IN) technology, the operators could also offer services to prepay customers. Now online payment might provide additional means for network access. We suggest an IP based architecture which uses a Diameter application (successor of Radius) for cost control and a charging component for online payment.
