AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Current wireless communication systems face challenges in efficiently providing subscriber identity information for accurate billing and reconciliation of service usages, particularly in 5G networks with complex network functions.

Method used

The method and system integrate Global Public Subscriber Identity (GPSI) data into call data records (CDRs) within the communication network, utilizing the Converged Charging Function (CHF) to convert HTTP requests into diameter requests, and transmit these requests to the Online Charging System (OCS) via the Policy Control Function (PCF) and Session Management Function (SMF).

Benefits of technology

This solution enhances the efficiency of network operations, simplifies billing and reconciliation processes, and ensures accurate and transparent financial transactions by seamlessly incorporating GPSI data into CDRs.

Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a method and a system for providing subscriber identity information for billing of service usages The disclosure encompasses retrieving through policy control function (PCF) [122], Global Public Subscriber Identity (GPSI) data from subscriber profile repository (SPR) database [3042]; transmitting through the PCF [122], to Session Management Function (SMF) [108], the retrieved GPSI data; adding through the SMF [108], the retrieved GPSI data for interacting with converged charging function (CHF) [132]; converting through the CHF [132], Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) request to diameter request along with the retrieved GPSI data; transmitting through the CHF [132], the diameter request to an online charging system (OCS) [310]; and responding through the CHF [132], an OCS response in response to the diameter request to at least one of: the SMF [108] and the PCF [122] for billing of service usages.
