Charging management; Time-Sensitive Networking (TSN) charging
The present document is part of a series of documents that specify charging functionality and charging management in 3GPP networks. The 3GPP core network charging architecture and principles are specified in TS 32.240 [1].
The present document specifies the converged charging description for the time sensitive networking domain based on the functional stage 2 description in TS 23.501 [11], TS 23.502 [12] and TS 23.503 [13].
This charging description includes the converged charging architecture, principles, requirements and scenarios specific to the time sensitive networking, with focus on the following charging scenarios: .
- the TSN 5GS bridge configuration and management charging.
- the enabler for time sensitive communication and time synchronization charging.
- the time sensitive communication traffic charging.
It further specifies the structure and content of the CDRs and the charging events for converged charging.
All references, abbreviations, definitions, descriptions, principles and requirements, used in the present document, that are common across 3GPP TSs, are defined in TR 21.905 [8]. Those that are common across charging management in 3GPP networks/domains, services or subsystems are provided in the umbrella TS 32.240 [1] and are copied into clause 3 of the present document for ease of reading. Finally, those items that are specific to the present document are defined exclusively in the present document.
