<p>For managing multiple tariff switches during the usage of a service associated with a current communication established by a communication device (CD) within a telecommunications network (TN), a server included within the telecommunications network generates a reply, after reception of a request (CCR) coming from a network element capable of generating charging events while monitoring the communication's use of the network's resources, said request comprising an amount of requested service units corresponding to a time interval (Tl), the reply (CCA) containing at least one tariff switch associated with a time period (TP), the number of tariff switches corresponding to the number of time periods encompassed by the time interval (Tl), and sends the reply (CCA) to the network element. The network element monitors the resource use during each period and sends a CCRu message to the server comprising information about the used service units during each period. The method can be implemented in the context of 3GPP and the Diameter protocol.</p> |
