Abstract

A pre-paid packet node (PN, 6) emulates a GGSN in a GPRS network (3). It receives packet data session data from SGSNs (4) and performs centralised interfacing with pre-paid platforms (9, 10, 11). It determines from the session data a context to choose a charging mechanism. The charging mechanism governs how the packet node (6) monitors service usage in communication with the relevant charging platform. It monitors data services usage according to contexts received from the platform (8).
