  • Call charging method and related network elements
    Patent number: 7076039
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a Call charging method for charging user agents in a next generation network for network resources used for data-transfer. The next generation network comprises a transport network for coupling a plurality of user agents and at least one call server for controlling communication sessions over the transport network. The communication sessions are being controlled by using signalling messages which are exchanged between at least two user agents via the at least one call server. Each of the signalling messages is analysed for determining an amount of non-signalling information comprised in each of the signalling messages and subsequently the call server processes the amount of non-signalling information for charging purposes.
