ETSI TS 132 275

ETSI TS 132 275 is part of a series of Technical Specifications (TSs) that specify charging functionality and charging management in GSM/UMTS networks. The GSM/UMTS core network charging architecture and principles are specified in TS 32.240 [1], which provides an umbrella for other charging management TSs that specify:

• the content of the CDRs per domain and subsystem (offline charging);
• the content of real-time charging messages per domain / subsystem (online charging);
• the functionality of online and offline charging for those domains and subsystems;
• the interfaces that are used in the charging framework to transfer the charging information (i.e. CDRs or charging events)

The complete document structure for these TSs is defined in TS 32.240 [1].

The present document specifies the Offline and Online Charging for MultiMedia Telephony (MMTel) service and supplementary services, based on the functional description of MMTel in TS 22.173 [200]. Charging for the following supplementary services is specified:

• Communications Diversion (CDIV);
• Communication Hold (HOLD);
• CONFerence (CONF);
• Message Waiting Indication (MWI);
• Originating Identity Presentation (OIP) / Originating Identity Restriction (OIR);
• Terminating Identity Presentation (TIP) / Terminating Identity Restriction (TIR);
• Call Barring (CB);
• Explicit Call Transfer (ECT);
• Communication Wait (CW);
• Completion of Communications to Busy Subscriber (CCBS);
• Completion of Communications by No Reply (CCNR);
• Malicious Communication Identification (MCID);
• Customized Alerting Tone (CAT);
• Closed User Group (CUG);
• Personal Network Management (PNM);
• Customized Ringing Signal (CRS);
• Reverse Charging;
• Advice of Charge (AoC).

Charging of these supplementary services is performed at the respective MMTel AS. The MMTel charging aspects are an extension of the basic IMS charging capabilities as specified in the TS 32.260 [20].

This charging description includes the offline and online charging architecture and scenarios specific to the MMTel, as well as the mapping of the common 3GPP charging architecture specified in TS 32.240 [1] onto the MMTel. It further specifies the structure and content of the CDRs for offline charging, and the charging events for online charging.
