  • Validating an invoice in a wireless telecommunication system
    Patent number: 7269407
    Abstract: A method that provides improved invoice validation in a wireless telecommunication system comprises receiving billing input data for a circuit and indicating a discrepancy if a billed amount and a calculated amount differ by greater than a threshold amount, the billing input data including the billed amount. In addition the method includes indicating billing parameters used to create the calculated amount.

  • Tracking credit associated with at least one circuit outage in a wireless telecommunication system
    Publication number: 20040058669
    Abstract: A method that provides improved tracking of credit associated with at least one circuit outage in a wireless telecommunication system comprising receiving outage data associated with the at least one circuit outage and receiving an expected credit amount associated with the at least one circuit outage. Furthermore, the method may include updating a database with the expected credit amount associated with the at least one circuit outage, the database configured to maintain an accumulated expected credit amount reflecting the sum of multiple expected credit amounts associated with multiple outages if multiple circuit outages occur. And finally, the method may include producing an invoice reflecting at least one of the expected credit amount associated with the at least one circuit outage and the accumulated expected credit.
