Disparity billing for data usage in licensed and unlicensed frequency bands

摘要

The base station receives a charging policy indicating a data usage fee table regarding the licensed frequency band and the unlicensed frequency band. The base station selectively assigns one or more licensed frequency bands or unlicensed frequency bands to the user equipment based on the data usage fee table. The network billing system transmits a billing policy indicating a data usage fee table regarding the license frequency band and the unlicensed frequency band. The network billing system receives a message including a billing parameter relating to data usage in one or more licensed frequency bands or unlicensed frequency bands that are selectively assigned based on a billing policy.
