METHOD AND MOBILE RADIO TELEPHONE NETWORK FOR ASSESSING CHARGES ON CALLS

摘要

According to the invention, one or more zones (HOZO, CIZO, OFZO) are defined for each individual mobile subscriber by combining radio cells and/or the areas of location. The zones (HOZO, CIZO, OFZO) are each assigned to a geographical location of the mobile subscriber and zone tariffs (THZ, TCZ, TOZ) are assigned to the zones. A charge assessment device (BC) is informed of the zones which have been defined for the mobile subscriber and the zone tariffs which are used when the mobile subscriber is located in one of the zones to establish the respective call charges. The establishment of zones with corresponding e.g. varying tariffs for individual subscribers enables an assessment of charges according to zones and leads to a more flexible charge structure similar to a graduated charge structure in the fixed network.
