Abstract
Today, telematics services are o Aen compositions of different chargeable service
components offered by different service providers. To enhance component-based
accounting and charging, the service composition information is used to match
with the corresponding charging structure of a service session. This enables the
sharing of revenues among the service providers, and calculation of the total cost
for the end-user. When multiple independent service providers are involved, it is
a great challenge to apply interim accounting and charging during a service session
in order to minimize financial risks between business partners. Another interesting
development is the trend towards outsourcing accounting and charging processes to
specialized business partners. This requires a decoupling between provisioning and
accounting and charging processes. In this paper, we propose a comprehensive
component-based accounting and charging architecture to support service session
provisioning across multiple domains. The architecture, modeled in UML,
incorporates an interim accounting and charging mechanism to enable the
processing and exchange of accounting information needed to update intermediate
charges for separate service components and the user’s credit, even during the
service provisioning phase.
