METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR CONSTRUCTION AND COMMUNICATION OF DATA ON NETWORK ACCESS AND SERVICE TRANSACTIONS IN A TELECOMMUNICATION NETWORK

摘要

A method for construction and communication of data for charging and billing for network access and service transactions, which comprises the step of generating (100) a Charging data Record (CDR) for each connection of a User Equipment (UE) a telecommunication network. Service providing servers accessed by the UE generate in two steps Event Detail Records (EDRs); first step (104) is tagging each event caused by a user of said UE, second step (106) is assigning transaction ID and transaction details to said tag. Further the CDR and EDR are collated (108) with the tags to create a Session Detail Record (SDR). The SDR is sent (118) to a mediation and routing engine processes (120) the SDR to the required format. Then the SDR is forwarded (122) to a rating engine, which expands (124) said tages, calculates and adds charges (126). The said SDR is forwarded (128) to a billing server for generating (130) a unified bill and finally the unified bill is sent (132) to the user of the UE.
