Abstract: IMS call control nodes (101) and methods are disclosed for providing online charging in an IMS network (100). An IMS call control node (101) receives a call message from a CSCF (110) through a first interface (112) for a call session, and determines whether to execute Application Server (AS) logic (104-106) or gateway logic (108) responsive to the call message. If the processing system (102) determines that the call message should be processed with the AS logic, then the processing system executes the AS logic to perform a service and to contact the OCS (120) for online charging for the service. If the processing system determines that the call message should be processed with the gateway logic, then the processing system executes the gateway logic to perform call session control and to contact the OCS for online charging for the call session.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for routing billing request and response messages to a billing server for serving calls by a particular subscriber. When the subscriber originates a call, an original billing request message is transmitted to an agent server. The agent server determines which billing server serves that subscriber and forwards the billing message to the selected billing server. The billing server responds to the request message with billing request data. Advantageously, this arrangement minimizes the problems of updating a large number of subscriber identification/billing server identification databases.
