Telephone Charging Systems: - Charging - CDR (Call Detail Records) - IP-DR (IP Detail Records)

This document discusses telephone charging systems and provides details on charging, call detail records (CDR), IP detail records (IP-DR), and billing. It defines charging as the function of collecting, formatting, and transferring information related to chargeable events to determine usage billing. CDRs contain information about chargeable events in telecommunications networks. IP-DRs specify a standard format for collecting network usage data over IP networks. The document references 3GPP and IPDR standards and provides links to specifications on IP-DR architecture, record flow, parameters for VoIP, and an example of WiFi roaming.

Charging
3GPP :Charging A function where whereby information related to chargeable operation is formatted and transferred in order to make it possible to determine usage for which the charged party may be billed
OMA(Open Mobile Alliance): Payment A mechanism by which funds are moved from the customer to the merchant in exchanged for goods and/or services. It may be on a per transaction basis, or may be aggregated over a number of transactions

Charging separates payment for the content payment for the use of mobile domain (wireless bearer, mobile context: presence) Accounting means gathering also non-charging data.
