5.2.1.1 General

The scenarios, principles, message flows, CDR generation, Ga record transfer flows and Bd CDR file transfer for converged online and offline charging for 5G data connectivity specified in 3GPP TS 32.255 [11] are also applied to 5GS usage charging for Edge Computing.

In addition, the SMF provides the information for correlating the PDU session and service data flow to the edge application for charging, and optionally reports the monitored QoS result (e2e packet delay obtained by QoS monitoring in 5GS, see 3GPP TS 23.501 [8]) along with the 5GS usage for charging.
