Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method and a communication system for charging for the transmission of data between a first packet-based communication network, a second packet-based communication network and a mobile communication device.
  • packet data between packet-based communication networks e.g. the Internet and mobile communication devices, hereinafter also called mobile stations
  • Both voice data and other multimedia data, such as image and / or audio data can be wirelessly transmitted from and to the mobile stations via a communication link.
  • the initiator of a communication link is at least partially responsible for the costs incurred.
  • PSTN Public Switched Telephone Network
  • the charges incurred for the Internet user as the initiator of the connection - a so-called MTC (Mobile Termination Call) - generally consist of the following Fees of the service provider (e.g. internet provider) and from the fees for dialing in the internet server of the service provider, for example via the PSTN.
  • MTC Mobile Termination Call
  • Ins pecial b no way a subscriber of another packet-based communications network, for example, the result for the operator of a packet-based mobile network an Internet user to contribute to the cost of an MTC.
  • the invention is therefore based on the object of specifying a method and a communication system for charging for the transmission of data, by means of which, in the case of an MTC, charging a subscriber of a packet-based communication network is made possible.
  • the data transmission is billed by at least one billing device associated with a second packet-based communication network, which charges the establishment and disassembly of at least one communication link for data transmission between a first packet-based communication network, the second packet-based communication network and at least one mobile communication device controls and quantitatively records the data transmission via the at least one communication link.
  • the advantage of the invention is that the operator of a second communication network, for example a mobile radio operator, can monitor the data transmission from a subscriber of a first packet-based communication network, for example an Internet user, to a mobile station. Based on the quantitative recording of the data transmission, he can use any calculation method the communication link. Thus it is conceivable, for example, the amount of data transferred, the type of data transmitted, the bandwidth of the communication link, the num ber or the duration of the respective Ltdunikationsver b inditch noted in the quantitative detection, and to use as a basis for calculation of the billing. The same and different calculation methods can be used for each participant.
  • the operator of a mobile radio network is identified by the identification of the subscriber, the checking of his access authorization and the dependence of the establishment or removal of the communication connection on an existing access authorization
  • FIG. 1 shows a block diagram of the basic structure of a communication system for the transmission of packet data according to the prior art
  • FIG. 2 shows the structure of the communication system with a billing device according to the invention.
  • the second packet-based communication network KN2 for example, is a packet-based cellular network (not shown) via a suitable NTERFACE connected to the first communication network KNL.
  • the second communication network KN2 is in turn via a radio interface to the wireless
  • the subscriber pays an internet provider - the so-called internet provider - for data transmission to a mobile station MS, which charges e.g. depending on the amount of data transmitted or the duration of the connection, or he pays a flat fee.
  • a mobile station MS which charges e.g. depending on the amount of data transmitted or the duration of the connection, or he pays a flat fee.
  • the subscriber to the Internet Terminal IT dials an Internet server of the Internet provider, for example via the PSTN (Public Switched Telephone Network), he also incurs telephone costs. However, these are only dependent on the communication connection between the Internet Terminal IT and the first packet-based communication network KN1.
  • PSTN Public Switched Telephone Network
  • Communication network KN1 to the second packet-based communication network KN2 and to the mobile station MS has no effect on the costs incurred for the initiator of the connection. In particular, the higher costs for wireless transmission of the packet data are not billed to it.
  • a charging unit VE can be assigned to the second packet-based communication network KN2, as shown in FIG. 2.
  • the billing device VE can have, for example, the following elements: an access device GW which is arranged at the interface to the first packet-based communication network KN1, for example the Internet, an access monitoring device AA, which performs identification and access control functions,
  • a service unit DE which estight the type of charging f (eg, credit card, debit card, etc.), and - a number of means ZE, which of the communications link, etc., detects the gebuhrenrelevanten data, such as number of data packets, duration.
  • the gebuhrenrelevanten data such as number of data packets, duration.
  • the access device GW In order to establish a communication connection from the first communication network KN1 in the direction of a mobile station MS (Mobile Termmating Call, MTC), the access device GW is queried to the access monitoring device AA.
  • the access monitoring device AA identifies the subscriber and checks his authorization to initiate a communication connection.
  • the subscriber and the billing method assigned to him or selected by him can be known to the access monitoring device AA by a registration process. If the participant of the AA access monitoring device is still unknown, he can register with him and determine the type of charge (e.g. credit card, direct debit via his telephone bill, billing of the fees via the Internet service provider bill).
  • the access authorization of the subscriber can relate to all types of communication connections or only to a part of the possible communication connections.
  • the access monitoring device AA initiates a dialog with the service unit DE and thereby determines the charging functions to be carried out in accordance with the type of charging of the subscriber.
  • the initiator of the connection can use a credit card or a debit card (prepaid) for which he has already paid the fees beforehand, for example at the operator of the second communication network KN2. It is also possible that the participant pays a flat fee for the communication connections initiated by him. Furthermore, a differentiation can be made for charging according to the type of communication connection (eg bandwidth, quality of service, transmission of voice or other data).
  • a credit card or a debit card prepaid
  • the participant pays a flat fee for the communication connections initiated by him.
  • a differentiation can be made for charging according to the type of communication connection (eg bandwidth, quality of service, transmission of voice or other data).
  • the payment-relevant data can be recorded by a payment device ZE, which is activated for this purpose by the service unit DE and transmits the recorded data to the service unit DE. This function can also be performed by the GW access device.
  • the service unit DE can manage a participant credit account online and reduce this by the accrued fees (pre-paid) or charge records for post-processing, e.g. provide the operator of the second communication network KN2.
  • the access device GW can initiate the clearing down of the communication connection.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un procédé et un système de communication permettant d'établir la taxation de la transmission de données. Ledit système comprend un premier réseau de communication (KN1) en mode paquets, un second réseau de communication (KN2) en mode paquets, ainsi qu'un dispositif de communication mobile (MS). Selon l'invention, le second réseau de communication (KN2) en mode paquets comporte au moins une interface radio par l'intermédiaire de laquelle les données de paquet peuvent être transmises sans fil depuis et vers le dispositif de communication (MS). La taxation de la transmission de données est établie par au moins un dispositif de taxation (VE) alloué au second réseau de communication (KN2) en mode paquets, qui pilote l'établissement et la fin d'au moins une liaison de communication entre le premier réseau de communication (KN1) en mode paquets, le second réseau de communication (KN2) en mode paquets et au moins un dispositif de communication mobile (MS) et numérise quantitativement la transmission de données sur au moins une liaison de communication.
