摘要： Systems and methods are provided for processing messages in an Offline Charging System (OFCS) of a communications services provider. A front-end distributor unit receives Diameter messages from a Charging Trigger Function (CTF) and distributes the Diameter messages to Charging Data Function (CDF) units of the OFCS. The distributor unit receives Diameter response messages from CDFs and calculates performance metrics based on the distributed messages and their responses. The distributor unit computes revised distribution weights used for distributing new Diameter messages for new Diameter sessions to the CDF units based on the measured metrics, thus adjusting the distribution pattern of the Diameter messages based on estimated workload conditions at the CDFs.

摘要： Systems, methods, and software for implementing a software upgrade in a virtualized Offline Charging System (OFCS) that includes a pool of Virtualized Charging Collection Functions (vCCF). In one embodiment, a software upgrade is identified for the virtualized OFCS, and installed with an upgrade process. The upgrade process includes developing a skeletal vCCF, which is pre-provisioned in the network, and installing the software upgrade in the skeletal vCCF. The upgrade process includes communicating with a DNS server to modify the priority in a DNS resource record for the skeletal vCCF to equal at least one of the other vCCFs in the pool. The upgrade process also includes designating an antiquated vCCF in the pool as the (next) skeletal vCCF, draining the accounting sessions from the skeletal vCCF, and communicating with the DNS server to set a priority in the DNS resource record for the skeletal vCCF so that the skeletal vCCF is selected last among the vCCFs in the pool by the CTFs for accounting sessions.

摘要： A content delivery system provides packet-level ratings of media content for use by client devices in rendering the media content thereon. A client device can store a permission level and compare the permission level with respective rating levels included in received media packets. The media content within the received media packets is rendered on the client device on the condition that the permission level compares favorably with the associated rating level and blocked on the condition that the permission level compares unfavorably with the associated rating level.

摘要： Systems and methods for performing offline charging for group communications. One embodiment is an application server that identifies data for a group communication, identifies an encryption code assigned to the group, encrypts the data for the group communication using the encryption code, and initiates delivery of the encrypted data for the group communication to the group of mobile devices over an MBMS bearer. The application server collects charging information related to the group communication using MBMS delivery, formats the charging information into an offline charging communication, and transmits the offline charging communication to an offline charging system.

摘要： Systems and methods that track Charging Data Functions (CDFs) that handle accounting requests for a session. One embodiment comprises a distributor unit that receives an interim accounting request for a session. The interim accounting request includes a tracking parameter that includes one or more CDF identifiers (ID) indicating one or more CDFs that handled accounting requests for the session. The distributor unit processes the tracking parameter to identify a first CDF ID for a first destination CDF that handled accounting requests for the session. When the first destination CDF is not available to receive the interim accounting request, the distributor unit selects a second destination CDF for the interim accounting request based on a distribution algorithm. The distributor unit adds a second CDF ID for the second destination CDF in the tracking parameter of the interim accounting request, and transmits the interim accounting request to the second destination CDF.

摘要： Systems and methods that handle failover between peer charging functions for offline charging. In one embodiment, a Charging Trigger Function (CTF) of a network element detects an interim chargeable event during a session, and generates an interim accounting request for the session responsive to the interim chargeable event. The CTF inserts a session anchor timestamp in the interim accounting request indicating the start time for the session, and transmits the interim accounting request to a charging function. The charging function then monitors a time limit trigger for closing a Charging Data Record (CDR) for the session based on the session anchor timestamp.

摘要： Systems and methods for charging in networks where radio resources are shared between Machine Type Communication (MTC) traffic and legacy traffic. A base station of a wireless access network determines a scheduling of radio resources on the air interface between MTC traffic and legacy traffic, and provides signaling to an MTC device and a legacy device indicating the scheduling of the radio resources. The base station collects resource sharing information regarding the sharing of the radio resources between the MTC traffic and the legacy traffic, and transmits a message to a network element of a core network that includes the resource sharing information. The network element may then forward the resource sharing information to a charging system so that the sharing of the radio resources is taken into account when charging the MTC device and/or the legacy device for usage of the air interface.
