Abstract: Disclosed are methods, apparatuses, and computer readable media for charging in a telecommunication network. An example method may include transmitting, a charging service request from a first network apparatus related to a user equipment converged charging system to a second network apparatus related to a tenant converged charging system, the charging service request comprising an indication for at least one parameter related to network slice level charging information of a network slice, an identifier of the network slice and an identifier of a user equipment; receiving, at the first network apparatus, a charging service response corresponding to the charging service request from the second network apparatus, the charging service response comprising the at least one parameter related to the network slice level charging information; and determining, by the first network apparatus, a charging criterion of the user equipment based on the received charging service response.

Abstract: A control plane entity selects a subset of a plurality of user plane entities to support a charging session associated with a user based on charging policies for the plurality of user plane entities. The control plane entity allocates portions of a quota for the charging session to the control plane entity and the subset of the plurality of user plane entities based on the charging policies. In some cases, the control plane entity modifies the quotas that are allocated to the control plane entity or the subset of the plurality of user plane entities. Modifying the quotas can include redistributing unused portions of the quotas among the control plane entity and the subset of the plurality of user plane entities, e.g., in response to handover of the user equipment between user plane entities.
