Study on charging aspects of next generation real time communication services phase 2
The present document studies the charging aspects for enhanced support of next generation real time communication services phase 2 on the TS 23.501 [2], TS 23.502 [3], TS 23.503 [4], TS 23.228 [5], TS 22.011 [6], TS 22.156 [7] and TS 26.114 [8] incorporating conclusions from TR 23.700-77 [9].
The following is studied:
- Identify charging scenarios and potential charging requirements to support the following aspects of IMS network capabilities exposure, standalone IMS data channel, avatar communication, services over IMS data channel as a part of 3GPP PS Data Off Exempt Services, and IMS data channel applications download.
- Investigate the potential solutions to support the above charging scenarios and charging requirements.
