System and mechanism to report usage for offline services with specific trigger requirements

A system comprising:

• one or more processors;
• and
• at least one computer-readable storage medium having stored therein instructions which, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the system to:
• receive node level capabilities from at least one of a plurality of user plane functions;
• receive an asynchronous report from the at least one of the plurality of user plane functions;
• determine an absence of a reporting trigger based on charging information associated with a policy control function and trigger information associated with a charging function;
• select a user plane function from the plurality of user plane functions based on the asynchronous report;
• and
• generate a usage reporting rule without the reporting trigger to be provided to the user plane function from the plurality of user plane functions.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium comprising:

• instructions stored on the non-transitory computer-readable storage medium, the instructions, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to:
• receive node level capabilities from at least one of a plurality of user plane functions;
• receive an asynchronous report from the at least one of the plurality of user plane functions;
• determine an absence of a reporting trigger based on charging information associated with a policy control function and trigger information associated with a charging function;
• select a user plane function from the plurality of user plane functions based on the asynchronous report;
• and
• generate a usage reporting rule without the reporting trigger to be provided to the user plane function from the plurality of user plane functions.
