Abstract
An Event Collection service for a oneM2M SOA charging system can provide service capabilities to enable configuration of charging policies, i.e. the common rules for event collection; can provide service capabilities to enable configuration of event collection triggers, i.e. at what specific event it will trigger the collection operation; can define a system which can scale up with increases of services, devices and applications and can define a system that can interact and integrate with the oneM2M ROA charging system.
Claims20
A node comprising a processor, a memory, and communication circuitry, the node being connected to a communications network via its communication circuitry, the node further including computer-executable instructions stored in the memory of the node which, when executed by the processor of the node, perform the functions of a service event collection component and cause the node to:
- store an event collection policy;
- and
- set an event collection trigger, the event collection trigger being based at least part on the event collection policy, the event collection trigger being set at a service.
A method for use by a service event collection component at a node in a network, wherein the node comprises a processor and memory, and wherein the node further includes computer-executable instructions stored in the memory which, when executed by the processor, perform functions of service event collection component in the network, the method comprising:
- storing an event collection policy;
- and
- setting an event collection trigger, the event collection trigger being based at least part on the event collection policy, the event collection trigger being set at a service.
