Embodiment Construction

[0035] figure 1 A first embodiment is shown which can be considered as a basic example, comprising a PPS 3 and using the PPS 3 instead of the SCE (Service Creation Environment) within the core network. Such as figure 1 As shown, a mobile terminal or user terminal (MT / UE) 1 may communicate with one or more call state control functions (CSCF) 4 . A subscriber database such as the HSS 2 stores basic subscriber information including identifying data, such as names or addresses, of one or more PPS servers 3 assigned to the subscriber or MT / UE 1 (Mobile Terminal / User Equipment) , preferably an IP address.

[0036] To initiate a call or other type of connection, the MT / UE 1 will perform a normal SIP "INVITE" operation to the CSCF (Call Control Function) 4, possibly by sending an "INVITE" message 1.). The "INVITE" operation is part of SIP (Session Initiation Protocol), which is a signaling protocol for IP-based communications defined by the IETF. The CSCF4 loads the user profile f...

Abstract

The invention relates to a system and method for enabling prepaid service in a packet-based communications system, in particular in an All-IP network which comprises one or more subscriber terminals. At least one subscriber database stores subscriber information including identification data of one or more server means, and the at least one server means stores prepaid accounts for subscribers. When a subscriber terminal is initiating the establishment of a connection to another network entity, the server means is adapted to transmit a subscriber-prepaid-account related value informing a control means on an available charge threshold value for the connection to be established.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method and system capable of realizing prepaid service in an all-IP network. Background technique [0002] Conventional networks provide proper billing of calls in a standard manner. In recent years prepaid solutions have been provided wherein a user deposits money in advance into an account from which the corresponding user is then debited for calls or other types of telecommunications charges. Said account is usually stored in a prepaid phone card or in the IN (Intelligent Network) of the telecommunications network. [0003] But in an all-IP network where call originating and terminating devices and any intermediate network entities are addressed using their IP addresses, it is currently not possible to implement any prepaid services due to technical difficulties. Contents of the invention [0004] The present invention provides a method and system for implementing prepaid services in a packet-based communication system...
