A subscriber may have Charging Characteristics assigned to his subscription. Default Charging Characteristics may also be pre-provisioned on the AMF.

During UE Registration, the subscribed Charging Characteristics, if any, shall override the AMF pre-provisioned Charging Characteristics. The subscribed Charging Characteristics may be transferred from old AMF during UE context transfer or retrieved from UDM.

The Charging Characteristics parameter consists of a string of 16 bits designated as Behaviours (B), freely defined by Operators, as shown in TS 32.298 [51]. Each bit corresponds to an index to specific charging behaviour which is configured on a per operator basis and active when the bit is set to "1" value.

The following Table A.1.1 provides an example of Charging Characteristics for AMF:
