19 What is NGN charging? It s a transport charging of network resources usage needed for transmitting packets or frames

20 Why NGN Charging is needed? User Side More cost effective services Provide a better Quality of Service Ex) (size, distance, time of day, delivery options ) Network Operator Side Routing of calls between different carriers No revenue Several architecture for providing current IP service ISP Side Offering an increasing number of IP services (video, VoIP, application hosting, VPN) More Interoperability between ISPs Cost saving support systems Hard to produce profit by only advertisement, Profit from providing Quality of Service

21 CATI - Charging and Accounting Technology for the Internet First project within Switzerland Research contents and target goal Design and implement of CA mechanism based on current IP protocol Have a two sub-field : CAPIV, MEDeB CAPIV - Charging and Accounting in the Internet and in Virtual Private Networks Design and implement of VPN service including CA function, best-effort service, differentiated service, congestion control mechanism etc.. MEDeB - Management, Evaluation, DEmonstrators, and Business Proof of charging technologies using today s application Initially they studies IntServ, now DiffServ Finished in 2000 while developing DiffServ-related architecture

22 RSVP extension for CATI

23 INDEX - Internet Demand Experiment Established 1996 by Berkeley Supported by NSF, Cisco.. Research contents and target goal Design of experiment network based on differentiated QoS Investigate and estimate of user s reaction Development for Pricing model and charging technology Focus on Supporting QoS

24 SUSIE - Charging for Premium IP Services in the European Information Infrastructures & Services Pilot Study of charging method for Premium IP Service based on Enhanced IP Service or ATM Design, implementation of charging system and development of reference model to support CA service Finished in 1999

26 PIP-NAR - Premium IP-Network Accounting Record Data structure to transfer charging information Used for transmission of charging information from Accounting layer to Charging layer

27 3GPP charging documents structure

28 Charging Mechanisms Based on reporting accounting information from each IMS node The reporting achieved by Diameter protocol Off-line Charging Accounting information is gathered from various IMS nodes On-line Charging Interacts in real/near real time with service provided by system Charging may be based on events, time, or resource usage

35 IETF AAA Working Group Authentication, Authorization and Accounting function based on Multi-network and platform Proposed that Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service, TACACS+ and DIAMETER authentication protocol Goals define one protocol that implements authentication, authorization and accounting used in a variety of applications

36 IPDR.org IP Detail Record Organization Mission To reduce the time and cost of usage measurement and exchange for next-generation service Method Implement de-facto open standards for IP-based support system interoperability, enabling providers to profitable deploy nextgeneration services Definition of the IPDR NDM-U (Network Data Management Usage) Is really useful? Only IPv4 based Conceptual model Finished in 2002.

37 OIF - Optical internetworking Forum OIF-CDR-01.0 Call detail records for OIF UNI 1.0 Billing For usage measurement functions that an Optical Switching System Including OAM&P Working Group Based on IPv4 but extensible to IPv6

38 ITU-T SG 3 D.ATM little IIC (International internet connection) D.50 IP Telephony Collaborate with other Standard Bodies NGN Charging

39 ITU-T SG 13 Focus on requirements and framework allowing accounting, charging, billing in NGN The key ideal is extending and combining the charging mechanisms of Circuit Switched, Packet Switched, and IMS The architectural framework is made from: Billing subsystem Charging subsystem Accounting subsystem

50 Function Effects How often Amount of information Interface Reverse charging Indication/ Confirmation The purpose of reverse charge is to indicate (and agree upon) a distribution of the charges between the users involved. Indication is possible during the call setup phase. Only in-band signaling is considered (data channel is assigned after the call proceeding message is received). Call setup New I.E for indication, confirmation UNI/NNI Split charging The purpose of reverse charge is to indicate (and agree upon) a distribution of the charges between the users involved. Indication is possible during the call setup phase. Only in-band signaling is considered (data channel is assigned after the call proceeding message is received). Call setup New I.E for indication, confirmation UNI/NNI

51 Function Effects How often Amount of information Interface AOC To tell how much moneys are levied to the users. This function can be used whenever user s request During connection active phase Call setup/ call active phase Less than a one cell Originating UNI Usage data To make CDR (Connection Detail Record) in calling network, Actual Delivered user cell should be transferred from called network to the calling network for actual usage based charging. For upstream data can be measured in calling node. The counter is overflow. Call active phase/ release Counter overflow Actual delivered User cell, OAM cell, RM cell UNI/NNI

52 / Function Effects How often Amount of information Interface PPM equivalent signal In PSTN public telephone, exchange system send PPM (Periodic Pulse Metering) pulse according to the use of telephone services for levying the charge. Usage is reached the unit of money. Call active phase/ release Less than a one cell Originating UNI Settlement This capability is independent of call, and it will be used periodically (e.g. How many outgoing calls and incoming call, how much volume egresses and ingress s) New channel is preferred like ILMI=VCI 16. Independent of calls Interface X (out of scope) Only the border node in each Administration. Like Q3 interface for TMN

53 IPv4/ IPv6 DiffServ / IntServ / Flow tech Telecom business(wire/wireless)/ Broadcasting business New emerging services What is the next generation protocol..? IMS for the wireless operator? Bridging Technology IP/ ATM/ (SONET/SDH)/ WDM? IP Charging = customer OAM functions Need signalling channel for Charging Different view on QoS(Telco, Wire, wireless)

54 Common charging scheme and CDR for IP protocol irrespective of any applications Analysis customer s requirements Research for charging parameter First NGN Charging Recommendation will be made on June 2006
