METHOD FOR PROVIDING A BEARER SERVICE TO A MOBILE STATION IN A TELECOMMUNICATIONS SYSTEM

摘要

The solution enables the provision of a real-time class bearer between a roaming mobile station (MS1) and its home network. According to the solution, as a response to receiving a real-time bearer request (2-1) in the roaming network from the roaming mobile station (MS1), it is checked (2-3, 2- 4) whether the mobile station (MS1) is of the requested real-time traffic class. If it is, the roaming network stores (2-5) information on said traffic class and on the home network of the mobile station (MS1), and forwards (2-6) the request to the home network, wherein the home network stores (2-7) information on said traffic class and on the roaming network. As the bearer service is provided (2-14) between the mobile station (MS1) and the home network, the roaming network creates (2-15) first charging data utilizing said information stored in the roaming network, and the home network creates (2-16) second charging data utilizing said information stored in the home network.
