摘要:
Disclosed are a charging method and device configured to realize charging for a local service without affecting an existing charging procedure when a service platform is deployed at a base station side. The charging method of the invention comprises: when a mobile edge computing gateway (MEC-GW) determines that a user equipment (UE) is to be charged for a local service, transmitting, to a mobile edge computing (MEC) server, a message requesting calculation of local service information associated with the UE; receiving, by the MEC-GW, local service calculation information associated with the UE transmitted by the MEC server, and generating, according to the local service calculation information associated with the UE, a charging data record for the local service associated with the UE; and transmitting, by the MEC-GW, the charging data record for the local service to a charging gate (CG).

A system and method may provide an exchange service for providing the price of wireless minutes to wallet applications and other client applications. The system may obtain pricing information for the wireless minutes and provide the pricing information to a wallet application. The pricing information may be provided through a rate server that subscribed to receive the pricing information. The rate server typically also provides exchange rates for currencies for use at wallet applications that are communicably coupled to the rate server. By providing the pricing information to wallet applications, wireless service providers may variably price their wireless services. End users may be able to obtain real-time prices of the wireless services and purchase such services directly using payment accounts associated with a wallet application. For example, a Bitcoin wallet may be used to obtain real-time prices of the wireless services and purchase such services using Bitcoins.

A method of secure charging for a device-to-device service may comprise: recording charging information of a device-to-device service between a first user equipment and a second user equipment, wherein the charging information is associated at least with the first user equipment; generating a first report comprising the charging information, wherein the first report is protected by a security key of the first user equipment; and sending the first report to a network node by the first user equipment, wherein the first report is used for charging for the device-to-device service together with a second report generated at the second user equipment, and wherein the second report comprises charging information associated at least with the device-to-device service of the second user equipment and is protected by a security key of the second user equipment.
摘要:
A method for receiving data on a mobile device includes accessing information identifying a number of collaborator devices and receiving respective portions of the data from each of the number of collaborator devices. The respective portions depend on at least one of (a) throughputs between the mobile device and the number of collaborator devices and (b) potential debits charged by the number of collaborator devices. The receiving occurs via mobile-to-mobile connections between the mobile device and the number of collaborator devices. The received respective portions of data are stored at the mobile device. Content is generated on a display of the mobile device based on the stored respective portions of the data.

The various embodiments include methods, computers and communication systems for distributing telecommunications functionality across multiple heterogeneous domains within a telecommunications system, which may include determining policy-charging capabilities of a first telecommunications domain, determining policy-charging capabilities of a second telecommunications domain, determining policy-charging requirements required for a communication, partitioning the policy-charging requirements into a first group and a second group based on the determined policy-charging capabilities of the first and second telecommunications domains, sending a first message including the first group of policy-charging requirements to a public interface of the first domain, and sending a second message including the second group of policy-charging requirements to a public interface of the second domain.
摘要:
A method of determining which charging information should be collected at a charging function (7) of a telecommunications system in respect of a telecommunications service used by a subscriber (3). The method comprises the steps of identifying a set of charging elements associated with the charging function (7) and identifying a set of charging elements H1, V1, V2 associated at least one additional node (4, 6). The identified sets of charging elements H1, V1, V2 are combined at said charging function (7) to obtain a set of charging elements which require to be acted upon at the first mentioned charging function (7).
摘要:
The invention relates to a method and system for recording and billing services during the roaming of a mobile IP node (20) in heterogeneous WLANs. According to the invention, first call detail records are transmitted from an access server (23/1001) to a billing module (1003) and second call detail records are transmitted from the access server to a proxy module (1002). The service requested from a provider (1008) of a fixed network (1007) is billed (1016) by means of a clearing module (1004) and/or the TAP files (1017) are transmitted to a GSM (1005) service provider (1006) for billing.
