Charging Characteristics can be supplied by the HSS to the MME as part of the subscription information. Upon PDN connection to the SCEF (decided by the MME for a non-IP PDN connection to an APN associated with an "Invoke SCEF Selection" indicator), the MME forwards the Charging Characteristics parameter to the SCEF, if deployed for roaming to the IWK-SCEF. A subscriber may have Charging Characteristics assigned to his subscription and/or his subscribed APNs. Default charging characteristics may also be pre-provisioned on the CPCN.
Each CPCN may either apply the Charging Characteristics provided by the HSS or ignore it to apply a default configuration. Consequently, the network may apply:
– The Charging Characteristics provided by the HSS
– The Home default behaviour (the MME belongs to the Home PLMN)
– The Roaming default behaviour (the MME belongs to the Visited PLMN)
The Charging Characteristics parameter format is specified TS 32.298 [51]. Each bit of the string of 16 bits corresponds to a specific charging behaviour which is defined on a per operator basis, configured within the CPCN and pointed when bit is set to "1" value.
For example, one way to define a charging behaviour could be to associate it to a specific usage, which may consist of a set of trigger profiles associated to CDR types e.g.:
– CPDT-SCE-CDR: activate/deactivate CDRs, time limit, data volume limit, maximum number of NIDD submissions;
– CPDT-SNN-CDR: same as CPDT-SCE-CDR.
In addition to these trigger sets, a CDF/CGF address may also be included.
