Abstract: A system and method for managing group-based charging for network usage and spending. A server computing device that includes an offline charging system (OFCS) component may be configured to receive a communication message that includes a first attribute, determine/identify a group of user equipments that includes a first user equipment device that is associated with the received communication message, and determine a charging attribute state for the determined group of user equipments based on the first attribute and a second attribute associated with a second user equipment device in the group of user equipments. The server may apply a charging event, determine whether the charging attribute state of the group of user equipments changed as a result of applying the charging event, and notifying a listener component of a new charging attribute state in response to determining that the charging attribute state of the group of user equipments changed.

Abstract: The performance of a scalable computing environment in a telecommunication network may be improved by configuring a server computing system to monitor a level of traffic throughput within the telecommunication network to determine whether an increase in throughput capacity is needed or a decrease in throughput capacity is acceptable, and increasing a throughput capacity of the telecommunication network when an increase in throughput capacity is needed by adding a logical scalable unit to the telecommunication network. The logical scalable unit may including a minimum combination of logical components required to provide in a single multiprocessor system a complete set of telecommunication functionalities for a subset of users in the telecommunication network.
