Abstract: A Charging Function (CHF) (16) of a communication network (10) signals a payload size limit to a Charging Trigger Function (CTF) (14) in the network (10), and the CTF (14) applies the payload size limit to restrict the maximum payload of one or more charging messages sent by the CTF (14) towards the CHF (16). Payload limits determined by the CHF (16) depend, for example, on any one or more of the type(s) of communication services involved, the involved subscribers, or load at the CHF (16). "Load" refers to processing load or communication load, meaning that the CHF (16) in an example implementation may choose smaller payload limits to reduce its processing load or choose larger payload limits, e.g., up to some maximum size, to reduce its communication load.

Abstract: A method for charging in a radiocommunication system is described. A charging data request message associated with a UE is transmitted and, in response thereto, a charging data response message is received including one or more charging triggers, wherein at least one of the one or more charging triggers is of a usage reporting category and is associated with a first charging event. Another charging data request is transmitted after both the first charging event occurs and usage of an associated service has been requested by the UE.
