摘要： IMS networks and methods are disclosed for providing online charging for supplementary services for a session. The IMS network includes an application server operable to provide at least one supplementary service for a session. When the supplementary service is to be provided, the session is routed to the application server. The application server then provides the supplementary service and also provides charging for the service. To provide charging, the application server generates one or more charging request messages for the supplementary service, and transmits the charging request message for the supplementary service to an online charging system (OCS) of the IMS network. The OCS processes the charging request message accordingly to provide charging for the supplementary service in addition to the session.

摘要： Communication networks and methods are disclosed for providing a message restriction process used to control the transmission of Diameter messages. The communication network includes a Diameter server operable to serve a plurality of Diameter clients. The Diameter server detects a triggering event for initiating the message restriction process, such as detecting an overload condition. The Diameter server then generates control information that defines the Diameter messages that the Diameter clients are authorized to transmit during the message restriction process. The Diameter server generates a message restriction instruction that includes the control information, and transmits the message restriction instruction to one or more of the Diameter clients to initiate the message restriction process based on the control information.

摘要： Communication networks and methods are disclosed for performing local roaming charging in LTE/EPC networks. A visited Online Charging System (OCS) in the LTE/EPC network receives a credit request from a network element in a visited network that has been requested to provide a service to a roaming mobile device. In response to the credit request, the visited OCS determines a local rating for the service based on a local tariff defined by the operator of the visited network. The visited OCS grants a quota of service units to the network element based on the local rating, and transmits a credit response to the network element indicating the granted quota.

摘要： A third UE calls the second UE, however, the second UE is on a call with a first UE, then the call controlling device provides a voice message from said third user equipment as a background voice message to the second user equipment while keeping the call between the first user equipment and the second user equipment. The “background” in the background voice message is relative to the original call, and does not have any other special meanings. Since the original call between the first UE and the second UE is not affected, for the second UE, or a second user that uses the second UE, the voice message from the third UE is a background voice message.

摘要： Communication networks and methods are disclosed for providing online charging for a session of a dual mode device that is transferred (seamless handover) from a first network domain to a second network domain. For the session involving the dual mode device, a handover application server or another network element generates a handover charging identifier that may be used in the first network domain and the second network domain. The handover application server then distributes the handover charging identifier to network elements in the second network domain and the first network domain. The network elements in the first network domain and the second network domain insert the handover charging identifier and other context information in online charging requests that are transmitted to an online charging system. The online charging system is then able to correlate online charging requests from both the first network domain and the second network domain.

摘要： IMS networks and methods are disclosed for charging for operator-assisted sessions. To perform the charging, an operator assistance application server (AS) acts as an interface between an operator system (legacy or IMS) and charging systems for the IMS network. When an operator-assisted session is initiated in the IMS network, the operator assistance AS receives a session initiation message in SIP, and transmits the session initiation message to the operator system to allow the operator system to collect charging information from an end user. The operator assistance AS then receives a service request message from the operator system that includes the collected charging information, and detects a charging event. The operator assistance AS generates a Diameter charging request message, maps the charging information from the service request message to the Diameter charging request message, and transmits the Diameter charging request message to a charging system to charge for the operator-assisted session.

摘要： Communication networks and methods are disclosed for performing online charging in LTE/EPC communication networks. In an LTE/EPC communication network, one or more LTE network elements connect to an Online Charging System (OCS) over an enhanced interface. The LTE network element that is serving a session for a mobile device triggers on a charging event, and generates a credit request message (e.g., Diameter CCR). The LTE network element identifies access information for the session indicating the type of access for the mobile device to the LTE/EPC communication network, and inserts the access information in the credit request message. Through the enhanced interface, the LTE network element is able to transmit the credit request message to the OCS with the access information. The access information may then be used in the OCS to determine a more accurate charging rate for the session.
