Abstract
A base station receives, from a network function, a message comprising a charging control for time service indicator, wherein the charging control for time service indicator is for a time resiliency service for a wireless device, the base station collects, based on the charging control for time service indicator, usage information associated with the time resiliency service for the wireless device. The base station sends, to a mobility management function, the usage information associated with the time resiliency service.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- receiving, by a base station from an access and mobility management function (AMF), a message comprising a charging control for time service indicator, wherein the charging control for time service indicator indicates to collect charging usage information based on a source of time for a time resiliency service for a wireless device, the message further comprising a first quota per source of time;
- starting provisioning of the time resiliency service to the wireless device based on the charging control for time service indicator and the first quota per source of time;
- monitoring usage of the time resiliency service by the wireless and collecting, by the base station and based on the charging control for time service indicator and the source of time, the charging usage information associated with the source of time for the time resiliency service for the wireless device;
- stopping the provisioning of the time service based on a comparison between the usage and the first quota;
- sending, by the base station to the AMF, the charging usage information associated with the source of time for the time resiliency service;
- receiving, from the AMF, a second quota per the source of time;
- and
- monitoring further usage of the time resiliency service after receiving the second quota.

A base station comprising:
- one or more processors;
- and
- memory storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the base station to:
- receive, from an access and mobility management function (AMF), a message comprising a charging control for time service indicator, wherein the charging control for time service indicator indicates to collect charging usage information based on a source of time for a time resiliency service for a wireless device, the message further comprising a first quota per source of time;
- start provisioning of the time resiliency service to the wireless device based on the charging control for time service indicator and the first quota per source of time;
- monitor usage of the time resiliency service by the wireless and collect, based on the charging control for time service indicator and the source of time, the charging usage information associated with the source of time for the time resiliency service for the wireless device;
- stop the provisioning of the time service based on a comparison between the usage and the first quota;
- send, to the AMF, the charging usage information associated with the source of time for the time resiliency service;
- receive, from the AMF, a second quota per the source of time;
- and
- monitor further usage of the time resiliency service after receiving the second quota.

A system comprising:
- a base station comprising one or more first processors and first memory storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more first processors, cause the base station to:
- receive, from an access and mobility management function (AMF), a message comprising a charging control for time service indicator, wherein the charging control for time service indicator indicates to collect charging usage information based on a source of time for a time resiliency service for a wireless device, the message further comprising a first quota per source of time;
- start provisioning of the time resiliency service to the wireless device based on the charging control for time service indicator and the first quota per source of time;
- monitor usage of the time resiliency service by the wireless and collect, based on the charging control for time service indicator and the source of time, the charging usage information associated with the source of time for the time resiliency service for the wireless device;
- stop the provisioning of the time service based on a comparison between the usage and the first quota;
- send, to the AMF, the charging usage information associated with the source of time for the time resiliency service;
- receive, from the AMF, a second quota per the source of time;
- and
- monitor further usage of the time resiliency service after receiving the second quota;
- and
- the AMF comprising one or more second processors and second memory storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more second processors, cause the AMF to:
- send, to the base station, the message comprising the charging control for time service indicator and the first quota;
- receive the charging usage information associated with the source of time for the time resiliency service;
- and
- send, to the base station, the second quota per the source of time.
