16、 V7.0.0 (2006-09) 5 3GPP TS 22.115 version 7.0.0 Release 7 1 Scope The present document describes the Service Aspects of charging and billing of the 3GPP System. The present document is not intended to duplicate existing standards or standards being developed by other groups on these topics, and wil
17、l reference these where appropriate. The present document will elaborate on the charging requirements described in the Charging Principles in 3GPP TS 22.101 Service Principles. It will allow the generation of accurate charging information to be used in the commercial and contractual relationships be
18、tween the parties concerned. 2 References The following documents contain provisions which, through reference in this text, constitute provisions of the present document. References are either specific (identified by date of publication, edition number, version number, etc.) or non-specific. For a s
19、pecific reference, subsequent revisions do not apply. For a non-specific reference, the latest version applies. In the case of a reference to a 3GPP document (including a GSM document), a non-specific reference implicitly refers to the latest version of that document in the same Release as the prese

21、ons and abbreviations 3.1 Definitions For the purposes of the present document, the definitions in 4 are supplemented by the following definitions: Prepay service: A prepay service allows a subscriber to pay in advance for the use of specific services, the prepay account may be updated each time the
22、 subscriber uses the services related to that account. Real time: Time, typically in number of seconds, to perform the on-line mechanism used for fraud control and cost control. Session: logical connection between parties involved in a packet switched based communication This term is used for IP con
23、nections rather than the term “call” that is normally used for a connection over conventional (circuit switched) systems. Note: Information about charging is typically collected in Charging Data Records (CDR). 3.2 Abbreviations For the purposes of the present document the definition of abbreviations

ETSI ETSI TS 122 115 V7.0.0 (2006-09) 6 3GPP TS 22.115 version 7.0.0 Release 7 4 Main Requirements and High Level Principles The main new requirements for 3GPP system charging and accounting are: - to provide charging information for all charges incurred and requiring settlement between
25、 the different commercial roles; - to allow fraud control by the Home Environment and the Serving network; - to allow cost control by the charged party; - to provide at the beginning of a chargeable event an indication to the charged party (if involved in the chargeable event) of the charges to be l
26、evied for this event; - to allow itemised billing for all services charged to each subscription, including voice and data calls, and services offered by home environments. - to enable the Home environment to provide a Prepay Service and to enable the serving network to support that Prepay Service fo
27、r the Home environments subscribers. - to allow interconnect (inter-operator) charging including mobile operator to mobile operator, and mobile operator to fixed operator (circuit switched and mobile operator to I-WLAN operator. - to allow Network operator to 3rd party supplier (e.g. Value Added Ser
28、vice Provider) charging; - to provide details required for Customer Care purposes - to support the shared network architecture so that end users can be appropriately charged for their usage of the shared network, and network sharing partners can be allocated their share of the costs of the shared ne
29、twork resources. The high level principles that will guide the charging requirements are summarised as follows: - It shall be possible to charge separately for each type of medium used (e.g. voice, video, data) in a session and for each service used (e.g. voice call, streaming video, file download);
30、 - It shall be possible to charge for different levels of QoS applied for and/or allocated during a session for each type of medium or service used; - It shall be possible to charge each “leg” of a session separately. This includes the incoming and outgoing legs and any forwarded/redirected legs. (N
31、ote: The legs mentioned here are logical legs, i.e. not necessarily identical to actual signal and traffic flow. Even though tromboning may be avoided by optimal routing, the operator should still be able to charge for the virtual legs of the call) - The user can be charged according to the service
32、used irrespective of the technology used to deliver it. (That is, the charge is not derived from whether 2G or 3G is used); - The user can be charged according to the technology used to deliver a service. (That is, different charges can be applied on 2G and 3G); - It shall be possible to charge a us
33、er according to the network resources used. For example, if a large bandwidth is required to use high quality video, the user could be charged accordingly. This is related to charging by QoS; - It shall be possible to charge users flexibly for the use of extra resources (in at least the same network
34、) for all legs of the call. For example, if a video component is added to a voice call the use of extra radio resource at both ends of the call could be paid for by each user in the call or totally by the initiating user. - It shall be possible to suppress charging for certain types of connection e.
35、g. when a customer receives tones or network announcements or during sessions such as automated pre-pay top-up. - It shall be possible for the home network to charge its customers while roaming in the same ways as when they are at home. For example, if duration based charging is used for charging fo
36、r streaming music in the home network, then it shall be possible to apply the same principle when the user is roaming. ETSI ETSI TS 122 115 V7.0.0 (2006-09) 7 3GPP TS 22.115 version 7.0.0 Release 7 - It shall be possible for operators to have the option to apply charging mechanisms that are used in
37、GSM/GPRS. For example for duration of a voice call, for the amount of data transmitted (eg for streaming, file download, browsing) and for an event (one-off charge). - It shall be possible for a network operator to charge its users for activities while roaming so that the home network will get the c
38、apability to raise service charges depending on the roamed to network, e.g. because of inter operator charges for the use of service capabilities within the visited network which will in general depend on the serving network. The ability to supply all the necessary information for all the charging o
39、ptions will depend on the capability of the visited network. For service capabilities which are provided by the home network, however, it is required that the charging information is collected to allow to identify the serving network of the served subscriber. - It shall be possible for charging to b
40、e applied based on location, presence, push services etc - It shall be possible to charge using pre-pay, post-pay, advice of charge, 3rdparty charging techniques. - It shall be possible for the home network to apply different tariffs to national calls and short messages established/sent by their sub
41、scribers while roaming in their Home PLMN depending on whether or not the called subscribers Home PLMN equals the calling subscribers Home PLMN, rather than on the called subscribers MSISDN. Note: This distinction is necessary only in the case, where the called subscribers MSISDN may have been porte
42、d by Mobile Number Portability. - For circuit switched interconnection only a capability is required to collect information regarding user rate and user protocol at the interconnection point so that e.g. the identification of CS video telephony at the interconnection point for inter-network accounti
43、ng purposes becomes possible. These new requirements and principles will allow users more freedom to obtain service when roaming, whilst providing effective cost and credit control for the Home Environment and User. 4.1 Cross Phase Compatibility Where possible (e.g. services already defined within e
44、arlier releases), the charging information collected shall be consistent with the information already provided It is envisaged that 3GPP system will evolve beyond this Release with the addition of a number of new requirements for charging and billing, for example with the addition of a number of new
45、 requirements for charging and billing; these are noted in the appropriate sections below. The technical standards for each release should be developed in such a way that it is possible and practical to introduce these requirements, ideally in a backward compatible manner. NOTE: When a change is int
46、roduced which affects the 3GPP technical standards, it is said to be backward compatible if existing equipment can continue to operate and perform correctly with equipment that conforms to the new implementation. 4.2 Charging Entity Relationships In the process of introduction of the all-IP technolo
47、gy there will be a mixture of different types of entities using different types of technology. The diagram below shows the different entities involved in charging and their relationships. ETSI ETSI TS 122 115 V7.0.0 (2006-09) 8 3GPP TS 22.115 version 7.0.0 Release 7 The types of entities and the rel
48、evant type of charging as shown on the diagram are as follows: - Users: retail charged by Mobile Network Operator or 3rdParty Service Provider. - 3rdParty Service Providers: wholesale charged by Mobile Network Operator. - Other telecommunications operators: interconnect charging between Mobile Netwo
49、rk Operator and non-IP “circuit-switched” Network Operators for call traffic carried; usage charging between Mobile Network Operator and IP-based Network Operators for session traffic carried. - Other mobile operators: roaming charging between these entities, this may require different mechanisms for IP-based types from the traditional “circuit-switched” types. Also, where mobile operators need to pass traffic to one another, there will be interconnect charging for non-IP “circuit switched” types; usage charging for IP-based types. - I-WLAN operators:
