    Abstract: The present invention relates to a converged charging module (31), for use in a cellular telecommunications system, comprising: a Service Switching Function module (52), capable of emulating a voice based circuit switch; and a prepaid interface adapter (65), so that a prepaid charging module (7) appears to be communicating with a voice based circuit switch using a voice call protocol; and at least one Service Control Function module (53, 54), capable of emulating control functions of the prepaid charging module (7); and a data interface adapter (61), so that a data network element (21) appears to be communicating with the prepaid charging module (7); and a Session Control Core (51), in communication with the at least one Service Switching Function module (52) and the at least one Service Control Function module (53, 54), and capable of translating data received from the data network element (21), using the data service protocol, to simulate a voice call using the voice call protocol for output to the prepaid charging module (7).
    In a second aspect, the invention relates to a Session Control Core (51) for translating data received from a data network element (21), using a data service protocol, to simulate a voice call using a voice call protocol for output to a prepaid charging module (7), comprising a state machine capable of processing a request from a user for a service, irrespective of whether the requested service is a data service or a voice service.

    Abstract translation: 本发明涉及一种用于蜂窝电信系统的融合充电模块(31),包括:业务交换功能模块(52),能够仿真基于语音的电路交换机; 以及预付费接口适配器(65),使得预付费充电模块(7)似乎正在使用语音呼叫协议与基于语音的电路交换机进行通信; 以及能够模拟预付费计费模块(7)的控制功能的至少一个服务控制功能模块(53,54)。 和数据接口适配器(61),使得数据网络元件(21)似乎与预付费充电模块(7)通信; 和与所述至少一个服务交换功能模块(52)和所述至少一个服务控制功能模块(53,54)通信的会话控制核心(51),并且能够将从所述数据网络元件 21),使用数据服务协议来模拟使用语音呼叫协议的语音呼叫以输出到预付费充电模块(7)。 在第二方面,本发明涉及一种会话控制核心(51),用于使用数据服务协议来翻译从数据网络元件(21)接收的数据,以使用语音呼叫协议模拟语音呼叫 输出到预付费计费模块(7),其包括能够处理来自用户对服务的请求的状态机,而不管请求的服务是数据服务还是语音服务。
