  • Location based billing of data services in a mobile telecommunication system
    Patent number: 7171189
    Abstract: A mobile telecommunication system supporting location based billing of data services is provided. The mobile telecommunication system includes a plurality of routing areas each having one or more base transceiver stations therein for providing a radio interface to a mobile terminal. A service node provides data services to the mobile terminal in two or more of the routing areas. The service node opens a mobility call detail record and a location container therein when the mobile terminal attaches to the mobile telecommunication system. The service node opens a packet data protocol call detail record and a traffic volume container when the mobile terminal activates a data session with the service node. The traffic volume container counts data service traffic volumes transferred to and from the mobile terminal. The location container is automatically closed when the mobile terminal roams from one routing area to a second routing area.
