    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a system and a method for providing online billing in an IMS network. SOLUTION: An IMS gateway system receives a first message from CSCF for a call cession through a first interface, and processes the first message to determine whether or not to communicate with OCS for online billing related to the call session. If the determination is to communicate with the OCS, then the IMS gateway system creates a second message included with a billing request to be transmitted to the OCS. The IMS gateway system links a field for the first message in a first protocol to fields for the second message in a second protocol to be used by the OCS, and then transmits the second message to the OCS through a second interface. The second message provides the OCS with appropriate information to execute online billing functions. COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI

    Abstract: IMS gateway systems and methods are disclosed for providing notification to an IMS subscriber. An IMS gateway system described herein includes a session manager and a notification database. The notification database stores a plurality of notification definitions for pre-session, mid-session, and/or post-session notifications. The session manager identifies a triggering event for a session of an IMS subscriber. A triggering event may be the initialization of a session, the account balance of the IMS subscriber running low, the termination of a session, or any other event as defined for the session manager. The session manager identifies at least one notification definition for the triggering event from the notification database, and provides notification (e.g., a pre-session greeting, a mid-session warning of a low balance, a mid-session request to recharge the subscriber's account, a post-session goodbye message, etc) to the IMS subscriber based on the notification definitions identified for the triggering event.

    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.

    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: Systems and methods are disclosed for providing online charging in an IMS network (100). An IMS gateway system (101) receives a first message (202) from a CSCF (110) through a first interface (112) for a call session, and processes the first message (204) to determine whether to contact an OCS (120) for online charging for the call session. If the determination is to contact the OCS, then the IMS gateway system generates a second message (208) that comprises a charging request to transmit to the OCS. The IMS gateway system then maps fields of the first message in the first protocol to fields in the second message in a second protocol used by the OCS (210), and transmits the second message to the OCS through a second interface (212). The second message provides the OCS the proper information to perform online charging functions for the call session.
