Abstract
A communication system and method thereof are configured to provide a service including a communication network including a charging entity and a service provision node. A user terminal is configured to transmit a session control message to the charging entity identifying a service provision threshold determined by a user of the user terminal for a session of the service requested by the user of the user terminal. Monitoring means is configured to monitor provision of the session and, if the provision of the session exceeds the service provision threshold, to notify the service provision node to performs a predetermined action upon receipt of the notification.
Claims31
A method of providing a service in a communications network comprising:
- transmitting a session control message from a user to a charging entity in the network identifying a service provision threshold determined by the user for a session of the service requested by the user;
- monitoring a provision of the session;
- and
- when the provision of the session exceeds the service provision threshold, notifying a service provision node in the network to perform a predetermined action upon receipt of the notification.
A communication system for providing a service comprising:
- a communication network including a charging entity and a service provision node;
- a user terminal configured to transmit a session control message to the charging entity identifying a service provision threshold determined by a user of the user terminal for a session of the service requested by the user of the user terminal;
- and
- monitoring means configured to monitor provision of the session and, if the provision of the session exceeds the service provision threshold, to notify the service provision node to perform a predetermined action upon receipt of the notification.
A user terminal comprising:
- means permitting a user of the user terminal to define a service provision threshold for a session of a service requested by the user of the user terminal;
- transmitting means arranged to transmit a session control message to a charging entity in a network identifying the service provision threshold;
- and
- means of establishing the service session over a wireless channel with a service provision node in the network.
A communications network comprising:
- a charging entity configured to receive a session control message transmitted from a user identifying a service provision threshold determined by the user for a session of a service requested by the user;
- monitoring means configured to monitor provision of the session and, if the provision of the session exceeds the service provision threshold, send a notification message;
- and
- a service provision node configured to receive the notification message and perform a predetermined action upon receipt of the notification message.
