View course dates

Course Duration: 1 Day

Course Code: PWL129

Course Description:

This 1-day course looks at billing for mobile systems. The mobile world really started with GSM and has evolved through GPRS (General Packet Radio System) to 3G (UMTS). GSM is the world's dominant mobile communications technology; there are hundreds of operators in many countries. One major feature of GSM is that users can roam onto networks in other countries when they leave the coverage area of their home network. When this happens, charges and accounting must move with the user. This course  looks at the whole area of GSM billing, including basic GSM billing, billing whilst roaming and carrier interconnect. This is extended to GPRS and ends by introducing the specific charging architecture for UMTS.

 

Delegates attending this course will be able to:

- Understand the basic concepts of how GSM supports roaming
- Appreciate the billing record flow in GSM
- Look at the Transfer Accounting Procedure (TAP) system for interadministration accounting
- Be aware of billing for GPRS
- Consider the impact of the charging archiecture for 3G networks
