Study on Charging Aspects for Network Slicing Phase 2
The present document continues the study on charging aspects of network slicing covered by TR 32.845 [2] but no longer limited to charging data collection functionalities without quota management as specified for Network Slice management charging in TS 28.202 [3] and for Network slice performance and analytics charging in 3GPP TS 28.201 [4].
The following is studied:
- Network slice converged charging for Network Slices enabled over 3GPP 5GS;
- Correlation aspects between Network Slice charging and the end user charging accessing the Network Slice;
- Inter-Provider (B2B) charging aspects by considering the different Organizations (e.g. MNO, Verticals).
The Converged Charging service aspects associated to the TR 23.700-40 [5] conclusion on network slice information is also considered.
