C.3 AoC Information mapping to NNI charging information
32.2803GPPAdvice of Charge (AoC) serviceCharging managementRelease 17Telecommunication managementTS
Herby is a conceptual mapping advising how to populate the incoming real time tariff information (as described in TS 29.658 [209]) to the AoC Information model.
Mapping concepts:
– Pulse based tariffs – Pulse based tariffs are translated to AoC Tariff with no Currency Code (i.e. non-monetary format).
– Sub Tariff – Each sub tariff is mapped as a new Rate Element
– Delay Until Start – The ACF shall buffer the message and wait for the ‘start’ signal.
NOTE: The Delay Until Start parameter in TS 29.658 [209] is not supported in this release.
– An Add-on charge provides single additional Cost Information which does not change the current tariff. When an Add-on charge is received via RTTI, the add-on charge shall be considered in the resulting Cost Information

Call attempt charge |
Rate-Element with Unit_Type = MONEY, This parameter may be populated when Charge Reason Code = CONNECTION_ATTEMPT_CHARGE. |

Call setup charge |
Rate-Element with Unit_Type = MONEY, This parameter may be populated when Charge Reason Code = CONNECTION_SETUP_CHARGE. |
