Charging Principles |
This TS describes the principles of charging and billing for the provision of service and services by a
3G-system.
This document elaborates on the charging requirements described in the Charging Principles in
3GPP TS 22.101.
It allows the generation of accurate charging information to be used in the commercial and contractual
relationships between the parties concerned. The present document is not intended to duplicate existing standards or
standards being developed by other groups on these topics, and references these where appropriate.

Charging Data Description for the IMS |
This TS covers both online and offline charging for the IMS. For clarity, the terms Offline Charging and
Online charging as applied to the IMS are defined here in clause 3. These definitions are the same as listed in
3GPP TS 32.200.
The IMS charging architecture details, requirements, definitions and principles are listed in TS 32.200 and therefore
are not repeated here.
In this document the charging data triggers, message content and format are specified along with the transport of
these messages using the Diameter protocol. Details about charging message flows and the definitions of the Diameter
AVPs are also included in the present document. This information is divided into two main clauses: Online Charging
and Offline Charging.

Charging Architecture and Principles |
The GSM/UMTS core network charging architecture and principles are specified in this
document, which thus provides an umbrella for other charging management TSs that specify:
|
| - |
the content of the CDRs per domain / subsystem /service (offline charging);
| |
| - |
the content of real-time charging events per domain / subsystem /service (online charging);
| |
| - |
the functionality of online and offline charging for those domains / subsystems / services;
| |
| - |
the interfaces that are used in the charging framework to transfer the charging information (i.e. CDRs or
charging events).
|
A set of domain/subsystem/service specific TSs covers the bearer (CS, PS, WLAN domains), subsystem (IMS) and
service (MMS, LCS, etc.) levels, respectively, in the 32.25x, 32.26x and 32.27x TS number range. These TSs describe
the mapping of the common architecture specified in the present document onto the specific domain/subsystem/service
and the scenarios and information for online and offline charging that are specific to the domain/subsystem/service.
They are commonly referred to as the "middle tier (charging) TSs".
A set of TSs in the 32.29x range covers common aspects such as CDR parameter and syntax descriptions, online and
offline charging applications, and the charging interactions within the network (CDR transfer) as well as between the
network and the Billing Domain (CDR file transfer).

Charging Management -
Online Charging System (OCS): Applications and Interfaces |
|
This TS covers all internal aspects of the Online Charging System (OCS). The document contains the architecture and functions of the OCS logical components and thereby derives the functionality of the OCS interfaces. A detailed specification of interfaces between the logical OCS components is also included. The functionality of the OCS, as described in the present document, applies to all charging domains (bearer, session and service).
The interfaces connecting to the OCS (e.g. Ro, CAP) are out of the scope of the present document.
NOTE: In the current release the present document is limited to the interface between the charging function and the Rating Function, namely Re.

Charging Management -
Charging Data Record (CDR) File Format and Transfer |
|
This TS specifies the mechanisms used to transfer CDR files from the network to the operator's billing domain (e.g. the billing system or a mediation device). This includes the file transfer procedures and the layout of the CDR files, as well as file meta information and the encoding of the CDRs within the files.
The CDR types that can be transported in these files are specified in the respective "middle tier" charging TSs, i.e. 3GPP TS 32.25x - 3GPP TS 32.27x. A definition of the parameters, abstract syntax and encoding rules for these CDR types is specified in
3GPP TS 32.298.
Note that the present document, dealing with CDRs, is consequently only concerned with offline charging. A definition of the corresponding 3GPP online charging functionality and applications can be found in
3GPP TS 32.299.
Furthermore,
3GPP TS 32.296
specifies the OCS internal charging applications and interfaces.

Charging Management -
Charging Data Record (CDR) Parameter Description |
|
This TS specifies the CDR parameters, the abstract syntax and encoding rules for all the CDR types that are defined in the charging management TSs described above. Therefore, it is only applicable to offline charging. The mechanisms used to transfer the CDRs from the generating node to the operator's billing domain (e.g. the billing system or a mediation device) are specified in
3GPP TS 32.297.
Further details with respect to the operator's billing domain for offline charging are out of scope of 3GPP standardisation.
Note that a generic Diameter application for online charging in 3GPP networks is specified in
3GPP TS 32.299.
Furthermore, 3GPP TSs are being created to standardise some technical aspects of the operator's billing domain for online charging, i.e. the Online Charging System (OCS).

Subscriber and Equipment Trace -
Trace Concepts and Requirements |
|
This TS describes the requirements for the management of Trace and the reporting of Trace
data across UMTS networks as it refers to subscriber tracing (tracing of IMSI or Private ID) and
MS tracing (tracing of IMEI or IMEISV). It defines the administration of Trace Session activation/deactivation
by the Element Manager (EM) or the network itself via signalling, the generation of Trace results in
the Network Elements (NEs) and the transfer of these results to one or more Operations Systems,
i.e. EM(s) and/or Network Manager(s) (NM(s)).
