CHARGING DATA TRANSMISSION IN COMMUNICATIONS SYSTEM

摘要

The present invention relates to a method for transmitting charging data. A charging data record is fragmented (300) into a plurality of charging data fragments for transmission, each charging data fragment comprising a portion of the charging data record. A fragmentation information element (64) is inserted (302; 308; 310) in each charging data fragment to indicate fragmentation. A fragmentation information element of a last charging data fragment comprising the iast portion of the charging data record comprises a predefined identifier differing from identifiers of fragmentation information elements of other charging data fragments of the charging data record.
