  • Charging mechanism for communication network
    Patent number: 9820129
    Abstract: There is provided a charging control mechanism allowing flexible charging in specified communication areas of a communication network, for example of a WLAN. When it is detected that a UE tries to access in a specified communication network area, a charging setting to be used for a communication in the specified communication network area is determined and a rating information in the form of a rating attribute is included in each CDR for indicating the charging setting to be used for charging a communication of the UE in the specified communication network area. A rating/charging engine uses the rating attribute for determining the charging amount for the communication.
