SYSTEM FOR PROVIDING ZONE BASE SERVICE AND METHOD THEREOF

摘要

A system for providing a zone base service in a WCDMA network and a method thereof are provided to perform a differential billing process in accordance with position information of a subscriber terminal, service connection information and a subscriber profile. A system for providing a zone base service in a WCDMA network comprises an SGSN(Serving GPRS Support Node,300), a GGSN(Gateway GPRS Support Node,500) and a billing apparatus(600). The SGSN(300) monitors whether a position where a subscriber terminal attempts to connect a packet call is within a zone base service area, and if so, requests generation of packet data protocol context including the information on the zone base service area where the subscriber terminal is located. The GGSN(500) processes billing information including service connection information and the information on the zone base service area wherein the service connection information is for connecting the service to a content providing server which sets up a packet data protocol context session with the subscriber terminal at the request of the SGSN(300). The billing apparatus(600) transmits the billing information to a billing center at the billing process request of the GGSN(500) wherein the billing information including the information on the zone base service area, the service connection information, and the profile information of the subscriber terminal, and the billing center processes the billing by interconnecting the information on the zone base service area, the service connection information, and the profile information of the subscriber terminal with one another.
