BUNDLED CHARGING FOR OVER-THE-TOP AND HOSTED SERVICES IN IP WIRELESS NETWORKS

摘要

A system may receive a request to receive a particular quality of service level for traffic flow between a user device and an over-the-top application server that provides an over-the-top application service. The over-the-top application server may be outside of a service provider network. The system may determine that the user device is to receive the particular quality of service level for the over-the-top application service based on receiving the request. The system may cause the traffic flow to receive the particular quality of service level based on determining that the user device is to receive the particular quality of service level. The traffic flow may be transmitted using the service provider network. The system may determine usage information associated with the traffic flow, where the usage information identifies the user device and the particular quality of service level. The system may provide the usage information.
