LTE Billing and Charging (On-Demand)

SKU: LT1316-pd

Duration: 3 Hours

Description

A technical overview of the billing and charging architecture defined for 4G LTE networks, including a review of LTE bearer, traffic flow and QoS concepts. The course goes on to examine the architecture of the billing system, both online and offline and identifies the key nodes, interfaces and protocols employed to transport billing and charging information. Finally, the interactions with the billing system during basic LTE procedures are outlined.

This self-paced on-demand distance learning course features illustrated course books, videos, tests and full tutor support.

Who would benefit

Engineers, designers, managers and others involved in the development, deployment or operation of LTE billing and charging systems.

Prerequisites

Familiarity with the LTE Evolved Packet Core is assumed. Experience of 2G or 3G billing systems would be beneficial.

Topic Areas Include

  • Review of EPS bearer concepts and LTE QoS models
  • Packet flows, service data flows and traffic flow aggregates
  • Deep packet inspection – heuristic algorithms and bearer-aware applications
  • Outline of policy and charging control
  • LTE billing and charging concepts
  • Flow-based charging
  • Billing architecture
  • Online and offline charging systems
