Embodiment Construction

[0024] FIG. 1 shows an exemplary system 100 comprising an access node 110 directly connected to communication devices 101 and 102 via an access communication link 150 . The access link 150 is subdivided into multiple time slots of different types, where, for example, a time slot can be defined by one or more CDMA code values ​​or one or more OFDM tones, or simply a time slot can be is the time division of a single frequency carrier. Each time slot may have a single fixed length of time, may have a different length of time, or may even have a variable length of time. In particular, the access link 150 comprises a control signal 151 within a broadcast time slot, which is sent to the communication devices 101, 102 and is used to manage the communication link and in particular The transmission of data units above specifies different types of time slots. access link 150 also includes unicast, broadcast, and multicast traffic slot types using which data units are transmitted to on...

Abstract

Utilization of resources used to provide a service, and/or costs associated with providing system resources for a service, are tracked in a system where the available resources vary depending on a variety of conditions including resource utilization by other users. The methods are well suited for systems such as mobile communications systems, where the amount of resources and/or costs to a system of providing a service are dynamic and can change on a relatively rapid time scale. Resource unitization is tracked on a per subscriber basis. Service charges can be deteiinined as a function of both the amount of resources consumed and the amount of data delivered, with the amount of resources being used to deliver a fixed amount of data units varying as a function of environmental and/or other conditions. Service charges are sometimes determined as a function of the impact of providing the service to a first user on other system users.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates generally to the field of communication systems, and more particularly to methods and apparatus for tracking resource utilization for providing services and / or costs associated with providing system resources for services, and optionally, The methods and apparatus also generate billing and / or billing information based on the tracked resource utilization and / or cost information. Background technique [0002] Typically, a communication link used to transmit packets has a fixed amount of a single resource (eg, bandwidth) available to share among multiple contending packet streams. These packet streams are to or from one or more end systems connected to the access routers via the aforementioned communication links. The packets are sent on the communication link within a plurality of link layer frames, which can be considered as different types of time slots on the communication link. Typically, the communication link and the...
