The present document is part of a series of documents specifyin charin functionality and charin manaement in
Pac#et "witched networ#s (G"MF3MT"- 2P"). The 3GPP core networ# charin architecture and principles are
specified in 3GPP T" 3*.*:+ G8H- which provides an umbrella for other charin manaement documents that specifyD
the content of the 19/s per domain F subsystem F service (offline charin)E
the content of real>time charin messaes per domain F subsystem Fservice (online charin)E
the functionality of online and offline charin for those domains F subsystems F servicesE
the interfaces that are used in the charin framewor# to transfer the charin information (i.e. 19/s or charin
events).
The complete document structure for these T"s is defined in 3GPP T" 3*.*:+ G8H.
The present document specifies the Offline and Online 1harin description for the Pac#et "witched (P") domain based
on the functional stae * description in 3GPP T" *3.+?+ G*+8H- 3GPP T" *3.:+8G*+CH and 3GPP T" *3.:+* G*+,H.
This charin description includes the offline and online charin architecture and scenarios specific to the P" domain-
as well as the mappin of the common 3GPP charin architecture specified in T" 3*.*:+ G8H onto the P" domain.
&t further specifies the structure and content of the 19/s for offline charin- and the charin events for online
charin. The present document is related to other 3GPP charin T"s as followsD
The common 3GPP charin architecture is specified in T" 3*.*:+ G8HE
The parameters- abstract synta( and encodin rules for the 19/s are specified in T" 3*.*,C G<8HE
. transaction based mechanism for the transfer of 19/s within the networ# is specified in T" 3*.*,< G<:HE
The file based mechanism used to transfer the 19/s from the networ# to the operatorIs billin domain (e..
the billin system or a mediation device) is specified in T" 3*.*,A G<*HE
The 3GPP 9iameter application that is used for P" domain offline and online charin is specified in
T" 3*.*,, G<+H.
'ote that a 1.M25 based prepaid function and protocol is also specified for the P" domain (3GPP T" *3.+AC G*+?H
and 3GPP T" *,.+AC G*+*H). 1.M25 entities and functions are outside the scope of the present document.
.ll terms- definitions and abbreviations used in the present document- which are common across 3GPP T"s- are defined
in 3GPP T/ *8.,+< G8++H. Those that are common across charin manaement in P" domains- services or subsystems
are provided in the umbrella document 3GPP T" 3*.*:+ G8H and are copied into clause 3 of the present document for

701 online charin is employed if it is activated for the &P>1.' bearer. The charin method in the P11 rule defines

The O1" online charin function may use this procedure to add online charin session specific information to the
PG@>19/ by means of the 9iameter 1redit 1ontrol .pplication in the /o interface. The data can be sent either in one
9iameter 1redit 1ontrol Credit-Control-Answer messae or several 9iameter 1redit 1ontrol Credit-Control-Answer
messaes with append indicator.
The O1" online charin function can send multiple concatenated P" 7urnish 1harin &nformation elements per
online charin session in the /o interface. The O1" online charin function can also send multiple concatenated P"
7urnish &nformation 2lement per each =uota (i.e. per ratin roup).
The total ma(imum of free format data is 8?+ octets per service so the total ma(imum of free format data per online

&n the O1" online charin function a P" online charin session shall be identified by the P>G@ control plane address

by the same 1harin&d. Therefore the 1harin&d shall allow the P>G@ to correlate an online charin session with an

This procedure can only apply when online and offline charin is performed simultaneously for the same session (&P>

The Operation Types are listed in the followin orderD " (start)F& (interim)F" (stop)F2 (event). Therefore- when all
Operation Types are possible it is mar#ed as "&"2. &f only some Operation Types are allowed for a node- only the
appropriate letters are used (i.e. "&" or 2) as indicated in the table headin. The omission of an Operation Type for a
