Architecture for a Service-oriented and Convergent Charging in 3g Mobile Networks and Beyond

چکیده
Services will be the economic driver for 3G mobile networks and beyond. For the provision of new services a charging architecture supporting fast and easy integration of new services on the one hand and enabling versatile tariff models on the other hand is of vital importance. In this paper we present a service-oriented charging architecture. The key idea of the architecture is the separation of service-conscious and service-agnostic areas whereas the different areas are configurable by policy rules. A service example is used to demonstrate the operation and flexibility of our architecture.

Service-Oriented Accounting and Charging for 3G and B3G Mobile Environments
Mobile communication networks need an overall holistic concept for their charging and billing processes, independently of the kinds of services in use. All usage data of a single service should finally be summarized in a single service-oriented complete bill, which shows the individual components of a service separately. In the case of handover among different access networks at the application...

متن کاملCharging , Accounting and Billing of Multimedia Streaming in 3 G Mobile Networks
In this paper, we describe a CAB model for 3G mobile networks, and we present a new streaming proxy based charging architecture for QoS-differentiated charging in 3G. Our goal is to point out the importance of bursty packet loss, which determines the quality of the multimedia streaming, in contrast with the average loss rate. We propose several methods for QoS-differentiated charging, which are...
