Active time determination for wireless communication system usage is described herein. In one embodiment, a preferred method of determining active time of a wireless data session comprises the steps of: receiving at least one airlink start message, including a final airlink start message; receiving a trigger indication to restart usage accounting and responsively sending a first accounting stop message to a AAA server, the first accounting stop message including an accumulated AAA active time attribute, wherein a value of the AAA active time attribute includes a duration of the time from the final airlink start message to the time of the trigger indication; sending an accounting start message associated with the restarted usage accounting; receiving an airlink stop message having an airlink active time attribute; and transmitting a second accounting stop message associated with the restarted usage accounting to the AAA server, the second accounting stop message including an accumulated AAA active time attribute, wherein a value of the AAA active time attribute excludes a duration of the time from the final airlink start message to the time of the received indication.

Die Erfindung schafft einen Gebührenverwaltungsserver (6) zur Verwaltung von Teilnehmergebühren. Der Gebührenverwaltungsserver (6) verwaltet für jeden Teilnehmer ein tatsächliches Gebührenguthaben TG und ein verfügbares Gebührenguthaben VG. Nach Erhalt einer Gebührenabrechnungsnachricht von einem Server (ACS) zur Abrechnung von Gebühren für einen von dem Teilnehmer gewünschten Kommunikationsdienst sendet der Gebührenverwaltungsserver (6) eine Rückrufnachricht zum Rückrufen von bereits für einen anderen Kommunikationsdienst zugewiesenen Kommunikationseinheiten, wenn das verfügbare Gebührenguthaben VG des Teilnehmers geringer und wenn ein tatsächliches Gebührenguthaben TG größer als ein in der Gebührenabrechnungsnachricht für den gewünschten Kommunikationsdienst angegebener Gebührenbetrag ist.

A system and method are disclosed to support multiple wireless account for a given subscriber. A method that incorporates teachings of the present disclosure may include, for example, linking various accounts to a wireless enabled device of a wireless service subscriber. In one embodiment, device addresses like telephone numbers and electronic mail addresses for devices that may call or be called by the subscriber may be associated one of the various accounts. In operation, a call may be completed between the subscriber's wireless enabled device and one of the other devices, and a call metric for the call may be tracked. A billing entry for the call may be generated from the call metric and the call may be charged to an appropriate account selected from the various accounts. The process of determining the appropriate account may include, for example, determining if the device address for the other device is associated with one of the accounts linked to the subscriber's wireless enabled device.

Internet communication means is given priority over cellular communication means in selecting connection means out of the two means. Payment method for a terminal, comprising that usage information comprising usage fee, usage time, usage amount of packet ,and their accumulation are noticed to a user of the terminal by classifying usage of internet communication from usage of cellular communication means. Semiconductor storage devices are realized by simplifying testing process and by noticing users their life time(rewriting cycle times).

The present invention relates to a method for accounting a particular user accessing a prepaid service, which prepaid service being supplied by a service provider, which communication device being coupled to the service provider via an access control unit, and comprising the steps of: - sending an authorization from an authentication server to the access control unit to authorize the particular user to access the prepaid service, thereupon, granting the communication device an access to the prepaid service. A method according to the invention further comprises the steps of: sending a notification from the access control unit to an accounting server to notify that the particular user gained access to the service provider, decrementing a quota allotted to the particular user according to a service usage, after the quota is exhausted, sending a request from the accounting server to the access control unit to disconnect the particular user from the service provider, thereupon, locking the access to the service provider. The present invention also relates to an access control unit.

The present invention relates to a utilization method and system within a communication network comprising at least one service provider (36; 38) and at least one service consumer (32). In particular, the invention relates to a license contract validation method and system for web services during runtime. At least one parameter (CEP, CFP) is provided to define, if and how many meter event requests associated with service requests may be stored in a cache memory (70). The parameter (CEP, CFP) is predefined and may be contained in the license contract, for example. Further, a counter may be provided for counting the service requests. The actual status of the counter is sent to the service consumer (32) and/or the service provider (36; 38).
