CHARGING METHOD FOR INFORMATION COMMUNICATION NETWORK

摘要

When a mobile accesses an IP (information provider), a gateway server judges whether or not the IP server is an object of information provider charging (S101). If not, the gateway server applies a user charging to the IP server, and transmits to a charging system the user management number of the mobile and the number of packets sent and received (S102). The charging system calculates the communication charge corresponding to the number of packets and issues a bill to the user specified by the user management number (S103). If the IP server is an object of an information provider charging, the gateway server applies the information provider charging to the IP server, and transmits to the charging system the number of packets sent and received and the address of the IP server (S104). The charging system calculates the communication charge corresponding to the number of packets and issues a bill to the IP (S105).
