摘要： Charging criteria in a mobile telephone network may be improved by choosing one cell or a group of several cells of the mobile telephone network as a group of special cells. The cells of the group may be located in the areas of different MSC's. When a call is being established, a service control point SCP located in an intelligent network analyses whether the location cell of a calling subscriber and that of a called subscriber belong to the group of special cells. Subscriber numbers of the subscribers may also be taken into account. The service control point SCP then applies a special charging criterion determined for the group. In a case where the location cell of the calling subscriber and that of the called subscriber are located in separate MSC areas (MSC1/SSP1, MSC2/SSP2), the information on the location cell of the called subscriber is transmitted to the service control point (SCP1) connected to the mobile switching centre (MSC1/SSP1) of the calling subscriber either directly or in a message in accordance with signalling used between MSC's.

摘要： Charging criteria in a mobile telephone network may be improved in such a way that one cell or a group of several cells of the mobile telephone network is chosen as a group of special cells. The cells of the group may be situated within different MSC areas. Upon establishing a call it is analysed whether the location cell of the calling subscriber and/or the location cell of the called subscriber belong to the group of special cells. When the location cell of the calling subscriber and that of the called subscriber are situated within separate MSC areas, information on the location cell of the called subscriber will be transmitted to the MSC of the calling subscriber before connecting a call. In accordance with a preferred embodiment, a subscriber group consisting of subscriber numbers is determined. Thus, various call tarifs may be applied on the basis of the fact whether the subscribers belong to the group of special cells, and/or whether the subscriber numbers belong to the subscriber group.

摘要： If the location cell of a calling subscriber (MS-A) or a called subscriber (MS-B) belongs to a set of special cells (CS) at the beginning of a call, a cheaper tariff is applied. According to the invention, the charging criterion is updated in the beginning and during the call. If a subscriber roams from the area of a public network cell to the set of special cells (CS), the cell information propagates to the MSC of the called subscriber. The MSC and/or service control point SCP compares this cell information with the set of special cells (CS) and determines that the new cell of the called subscriber belongs to the special cells (CS), due to which the tariff can be changed. Information on the called subscriber's changed cell type is transmitted to the mobile switching centre (MSC, stage 3) of the calling subscriber.
