TECHNIQUES FOR DETERMINING TRAFFIC VOLUMES SERVED OVER MULTIPLE CELLS OF A WIRELESS COMMUNICATION NETWORK

摘要

Techniques are described for traffic volume determination and reporting by an access node and/or a node of a core network in a wireless communications system. One or more wireless connections may be established with a user equipment (UE) to serve one or more streams of traffic using a first cell and a second cell, which may have different cell characteristics. A first traffic volume for the UE may be determined based on traffic volume served over the first cell, and a second traffic volume for the UE may be determined based on traffic volume served over the second cell. A charging data record may be generated based on the first traffic volume and the second traffic volume. Traffic volume served over the first cell then may be charged at a different rate that traffic served over the second cell.

主权项

1. A method for wireless communication in a wireless communications network, comprising:
determining a first traffic volume served between a first cell and a user equipment (UE); determining a second traffic volume served between a second cell and the UE; and reporting at least one of the first traffic volume and the second traffic volume to a node of the wireless communication network.
