Offline Charging System
IMS Offline Charging System based on 3GPP specifications for providing offline charging of converged communication services. IMS Offline Charging System is built with a fully modular approach therefore is easily extensible. IMS Offline Charging System has been implemented using the high performance asynchronous application development framework called AMPS (Asynchronous Middleware for Protocol Servers). As IMS Offline Charging system is based on Diameter and 3GPP specifications, integrating it with any third party software that supports above standards is quite straightforward.
Offline Charging System Features
  • IMS Offline charging Interface i.e. Rf Interface (3GPP TS 32.240, 3GPP TS 32.296, 3GPP 32.299)
  • Accounting Request (ACR) and Accounting Answer(ACA) [ RFC 3588]
  • Support for Start, Interim and Stop Charging Events/Records
  • CDR logging into DBMS and ASN1 BER encoded files
  • Correlation Function for correlation of multiple Charging Records
  • Charging Gateway Function for communication with external Billing System
* For Installation see the Installation Section of Offline Charging Server and for further details on the architecture and design please refer to documentation section of the website
