  • Resource usage measurement technique for pricing in a communications network
    Patent number: 8054746
    Abstract: A method and apparatus are disclosed for measuring the usage of a communications network, based on a two level sampling and measuring technique. A sampling interval, T, represents the intervals at which the network resource is observed. In addition, during each sampling interval, a measurement window of length, ?, is utilized. Generally, while the values for the sampling interval, T, and the measurement window, ?, are calibrated, actual measurements are only taken for the smaller measurement window, ?, and the actual measurements are extrapolated to estimate the usage over the larger sampling interval, T. The sampling interval, T, and measurement window, ?, values may be periodically recalibrated.
