CHARGING AND ACCOUNTING METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR MULTICAST AND BROADCAST SERVICES

摘要

A system for charging and accounting for multicast and broadcast service (MCBCS) is disclosed. The system includes an accounting agent located at an access service network (ASN) configured to, when triggered by a session control or a mobile station event, collect identification information from a mobile station receiving a MCBCS and service identification information of an MCBCS content provider. An accounting client at the ASN is configured to create a usage detail record based on the identification information of the mobile station and the service identification information of the MCBCS content provider. A generating unit then generates charging and accounting information based on the usage detail record.
