    摘要: The present disclosure relates to a method in a network node (1) of a communication network (5). The method comprises determining from signalling with a cellular RAN (4) and/or a wireless transceiver (3) that a radio device (2) is within range (6) of the wireless transceiver, said radio device being connected to the communication network over the cellular RAN. The method also comprises redirecting, through signalling with one or more billing servers (7) connected to the communication network, at least some billing for resources used by the radio device via the cellular RAN, from a first subscription to a second subscription, as a result of said determining that the radio device is within range of the wireless transceiver. Upon determining from signalling over the cellular RAN (4) and/or with the wireless transceiver (3) that the radio device (2) is no longer within the range (6) of the wireless transceiver (3), there is assigned a limitation criterion for the redirecting (402) of the at least some billing associated with the data communication over the cellular RAN for resources used by the radio device (2), and the redirecting (402) of the at least some billing associated with data communication over the cellular RAN for resources used by the radio device (2) is terminated, through signalling with the one or more billing servers (7) connected to the communication network, when the limitation criterion is fulfilled.

    摘要: A method may include receiving information identifying a radio frequency (RF) usage policy that is associated with a user equipment (UE). The UE may communicate with a network using RF signals, and the RF access signaling usage policy may identify an RF access signaling usage threshold. The RF access signaling usage threshold may identify a quantity of bearers and an action to perform based on the UE requesting the quantity of bearers. The method may include causing a gateway device to monitor RF access signaling usage of the UE. The method may include receiving an RF access signaling usage update. The method may include determining that the RF access signaling usage satisfies the RF access signaling usage threshold based on the RF access signaling usage update. The method may include causing an action to be performed based on the RF access signaling usage policy.

    摘要: One embodiment takes the form of a method carried out by a gateway. The method includes the gateway receiving a message that was originated by a wireless communication device (WCD) being served by an access network. Next, the gateway may identify a given air-interface resource on which the access network is serving the WCD. After receiving the message, the gateway may use the given air-interface resource to determine one or more rules for decrementing an account balance associated with the WCD. The gateway may then decrement the account balance associated with the WCD in accordance with the determined one or more rules.
