BILLING SYSTEM IN USER CONFIGURABLE WIRELESS NETWORK, AND BILLING METHOD FOR SERVICE CREATION AND/OR NEGOTIATION IN THE WIRELESS NETWORK

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a consolidated billing in a wireless network, where using a processing node, user information and/or service information are associated with network information without having to access various network elements located throughout the network, to facilitate service creation and/or negotiation, and billing of services, to thus minimize network processing and network resources. SOLUTION: The consolidated billing in the wireless network is achieved, by employing the processing node having storage capabilities for facilitating the service creation and/or negotiation, and billing for those services in the wireless network, by associating the user information and/or the service information with the network information. The user information, service information, and network information, and their associated billing information, are provided periodically and dynamically into the storage.
