Abstract

La présente invention concerne l'intégration de fonctions de contrôle et de facturation et une assistance téléphonique avec un service vocal WiMAX (« Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access Voice Service ») (WVS). En réponse à la réception d'une demande d'établissement d'appel entrant, un serveur WVS lance une session de contrôle de politique et de facturation (« policy control and charging » ou PCC) en envoyant des informations connexes au service à un module de fonction de distribution/décision de politique. Le module de fonction de distribution/décision de politique fournit une décision d'autorisation en ce qui concerne les règles PCC. En fonction de la décision d'autorisation, un module de fonction d'imposition modifie la session PCC. Un réseau de service d'accès reçoit des informations de quota de compte à partir d'un serveur prépayé associé à l'abonné. En réponse à la détermination qu'un quota de compte restant est insuffisant, le serveur prépayé attribue le quota de compte restant au client prépayé associé à l'abonné. Un client de comptabilité déclenche alors l'opération d'assistance téléphonique.
