ETSI TS 132 297

ETSI TS 132 297 is part of a series of Technical Specifications (TSs) that specify charging functionality andcharging management in 3GPP networks(GSM/UMTS/EPS). The 3GPP core network charging architecture andprinciples 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 / subsystem / service (offline charging);
• the content of real-time charging messages per domain / subsystem / service (online charging);
• the functionality of online and offline charging for those domains / subsystems / services;
• the interfaces that are used in the charging framework to transfer the charging information (i.e. CDRs orcharging events)

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

The present document specifies the transaction based mechanism for the near real time transfer of CDRswithin the network.

The present document is related to other 3GPP charging TSs as follows:

• The common 3GPP charging architecture is specified in TS 32.240 [1];
• The parameters, abstract syntax and encoding rules for the CDRs are specified in TS 32.298 [51];
• The file based mechanism used to transfer the CDRs from the network to the operator’s billing domain (e.g. thepost-processing system or a mediation device) is specified in TS 32.297 [52];

The 3GPP Diameter application that is used for offline and online charging is specified in TS 32.299 [50].

All terms, definitions and abbreviations used in the present document, that are common across 3GPP TSs, are defined inthe 3GPP Vocabulary, TR 21.905 [100]. Those that are common across charging management in 3GPP domainsservices, or subsystems are provided in the umbrella document TS 32.240 [1] and are copied into clause 3 of the presentdocument for ease of reading. Finally, those items that are specific to the present document are defined exclusively inthe present document.

Furthermore, requirements that govern the charging work are specified in TS 22.115 [101].
