The project aims to investigate billing for next generation services. In this project we identified event, time, volume, and subscription as core charging models. Reward and flexible charging models were extended from the core charging models.

MoBill

As proof of concept for these charging models (core and extended charging models), we developed a billing component called MoBill. MoBill was implemented using the Ericsson Diameter API. Mobicents was used as a service development platform.

Mobicents examples were used to test MoBill. These examples essentially demonstrated how we can implement different charging models using MoBill.
