Abstract: The present invention relates to charging of communications using chargeable resources of a first communication system and a second communication system wherein at least one of said communication systems provides wireless communication services. In accordance with the method, after a set-up procedure for communications initiated a first procedure for obtaining a first charging component is triggered, the first charging component being associated with the first communication system and determined based on a first charging model. If required, a second procedure for obtaining a second charging component is also triggered, the second charging component being associated with the second communication system and determined based on a second charging model. Information associated with the communications in the first and second communication systems is processed simultaneously to obtain the respective first and second charging components. The first and second charging components are combined to obtain a total charge. A prepaid balance is then decreased during the communications based on the total charge.

Abstract: Centralized billing is provided by processing requests for pre-paid and post-paid services at a service control point that is configured to prepare one or more associated event records. Event records associated with provided services can be stored at the service control point or in a remote database, or the service control point can direct the event records to a central billing system that is configured to bill subscribers directly or to transmit event records to one or more payment systems via a financial gateway. Service control point service logic is configured to permit negative account balances for post-paid subscribers, while account balances remain positive for pre-paid subscribers. Credit limits can be associated with post-paid subscribers, and service authorization can be based on such credit limits.

Abstract translation: 通过在被配置为准备一个或多个相关联的事件记录的服务控制点处理对预付费和后付费服务的请求来提供集中计费。 与提供的服务相关联的事件记录可以存储在服务控制点或远程数据库中，或者服务控制点可以将事件记录定向到被配置为直接对订户进行帐单或者将事件记录传送到一个或多个 更多的支付系统通过财务网关。 服务控制点服务逻辑被配置为允许后付费用户的负账户余额，而预付费用户的账户余额保持为正。 信用额度可以与后付费用户相关联，服务授权可以基于此类信用额度。

Abstract: According to the illustrated embodiment, the authentication of a cellular network customer in a LAN hotspot area is made possible by a Sign-up server (SUP). The customer enters his cellular phone number (MSISDN) and the SUP contacts the cellular network's HLR via GGSN to get customer identification information (MSIN). SUP creates an account in the system of the LAN network. The generated account details are sent to the users' cellular terminal, e.g. by SMS or e-mail. The usage of LAN services is calculated and the resulting billing information, CDR:s including the MSIN ID, is sent to the cellular network billing system and the customer gets billed by their cellular network operator .

Abstract: A system (700) manages the operations of an integrated communications provider. One aspect of the system is a work flow engine. The work flow engine decomposes the service model into sub-model components based upon whether crossing of plural networks is appropriate to provide requested telecommunication services and which service providers are available to provide service consistent with the location of the customer. The work flow engine also creates a telecommunications design (713) from the sub-model components based on order rules of the service providers. The system automatically retrieves customer service records (703) and preparing sales proposals based on those records. The system includes a gateway to incumbent local exchange carriers and trading partner (715) service providers. The system incorporates features that automate comparisons between existing services and proposed services, optimizing on-net and off-net services, creation of cutover reports, issuance of service requests to local exchange carriers and trading partners (715), and alarming of failures of confirmations.

Abstract translation: 系统（700）管理综合通信提供商的操作。 该系统的一个方面是工作流程引擎。 工作流程引擎基于多个网络的交叉是否适合于提供所请求的电信服务以及哪些服务提供商可用来提供与客户的位置一致的服务来将服务模型分解成子模型组件。 工作流程引擎还基于服务提供商的订购规则从子模型组件创建电信设计（713）。 系统自动检索客户服务记录（703）并基于这些记录准备销售建议。 该系统包括通往当地本地交换运营商和贸易伙伴（715）服务提供商的门户。 该系统集成了自动比较现有服务和提议服务，优化网上和网外服务，创建转换报告，向本地交换运营商和贸易伙伴发布服务请求的功能（715）以及对确认失败的报警 。

Abstract: A system and method of providing a prepaid subscriber service to a mobile subscriber in an integrated wireless telecommunications network (10) having a circuit-switched portion and a General Packet Radio Service (GPRS) packet-switched portion. A prepaid subscriber class (PPSC) (40) is stored in a home location register (HLR)(16), and the PPSC is sent from the HLR to a serving mobile switching center (MSC) (11) when the subscriber registers in the circuit-switched portion of the network. The PPSC is sent from the HLR to a serving GPRS support node (SGSN)(12) when the subscriber registers in the packet-switched portion of the network. Also, the PPSC may be sent from the SGSN to a Gateway GPRS Support Node (GGSN) (25) in order to indicate that the subscriber is a prepaid subscriber. When the mobile subscriber begins a packet-switched data session, the SGSN, GGSN, or both periodically send partial call data records (CDRs) to a prepaid center (PPC)(19). When the mobile subscriber begins a circuit-switched call, the MSC periodically sends partial CDRs to the PPC. The PPC calculates in near real time, a new account balance for the prepaid subscriber. The current call is disconnected, and prepaid services are stopped when the account balance is reduced to zero.

Abstract translation: 一种在具有电路交换部分和通用分组无线电业务（GPRS）分组交换部分的集成无线电信网络（10）中向移动用户提供预付费用户业务的系统和方法。 预付费用户等级（PPSC）（40）被存储在归属位置寄存器（HLR）（16）中，并且当用户登录在服务移动交换中心（MSC）（11）中时，将PPSC从HLR发送到服务移动交换中心 网络的电路交换部分。 当用户注册在网络的分组交换部分中时，PPSC从HLR发送到服务GPRS支持节点（SGSN）（12）。 此外，PPSC可以从SGSN发送到网关GPRS支持节点（GGSN）（25），以便指示用户是预付费用户。 当移动用户开始分组交换数据会话时，SGSN，GGSN或两者周期性地将部分呼叫数据记录（CDR）发送到预付中心（PPC）（19）。 当移动用户开始电路交换呼叫时，MSC周期性地向PPC发送部分CDR。 PPC几乎实时计算预付费用户的新帐户余额。 当前的通话被断开，并且当帐户余额减少到零时，预付费服务被停止。
