7 Charging

22.1463GPPMultimedia Broadcast/Multicast Service (MBMS)Release 17Stage 1TS

7.1 Broadcast mode

It shall be possible to collect charging information for the transmission of broadcast services to enable billing of broadcast services providers e.g. billing 3rd parties for advertising.

Examples of the type of the charging information that could be collected include:

– usage duration

– volume of contents

The above list of possible charging mechanisms is neither complete nor exhaustive.

It shall be possible to collect subscriber charging information for the end user (including roaming situations) based on security procedures (e.g. key management) for the receipt of broadcast data on a per broadcast service basis.

7.2 Multicast mode

It shall be possible to collect charging information for the transmission of multicast services to enable billing of multicast services providers e.g. billing 3rd parties for advertising.

It shall be possible to collect subscriber charging information (including roaming) for the use of the multicast mode (e.g. to enable billing to multicast services providers), as well as for the receipt of multicast data (e.g. users), on a per multicast service basis. On-line charging for multicast services should be possible as well.

Examples of the type of the charging information that could be collected include:

– multicast session duration

– time when joining and leaving a multicast subscription group, duration of membership to a multicast subscription group

– time when joining and leaving a multicast group, duration of membership to a multicast group

– multicast session volume of contents

The above list of possible charging mechanisms is neither complete nor exhaustive.

Billing issues are out of scope of this TS.
