5.3.3.1 Triggers for stopping for an SMS Credit-Control session

Used in ECUR only, a Debit / Reserve Units Request message to terminate the Credit-Control session is sent to OCS when:

– Validity time for granted quota expires;

– Granted quota runs out (i.e. a successful event has occurred);

– Abort-Session-Request is received from the OCS.

The expiration of the validity time for quota does not require the SMS procedures to be terminated. The CTF shall be configurable as to whether on expiration of validity time, the service should be aborted or not; i.e. whether the stored message should be deleted and no further (re-)delivery attempt should be made.

5.3.3.2 Triggers for providing interim information for a SMS Credit-Control session

The provision of interim information for Credit-Control is not used in this release of the specification, due to the use of IEC and ECUR.
