1. Overview
This module contains all methods related to the IMS charging control
functions performed by an network element (e.g. a S-CSCF) over the Ro
interface. This module is dependent on the CDP (C Diameter Peer)
modules for communicating with a Charging-Server as specified in 3GPP
specification TS xx.xxx.
Please also refer to RFC 4006 (Diameter Credit-Control Application)
2. Dependencies
2.1. Kamailio Modules
2.2. External Libraries or Applications
2.1. Kamailio Modules
The Following modules must be loaded before this module:
* ims_dialog
* TM - Transaction Manager
* CDP - C Diameter Peer
* CDP_AVP - CDP AVP Applications
2.2. External Libraries or Applications
This modules requires the internal IMS library.
3. Understanding Charging in the IP-Multimedia-Subsystem (IMS)
3.1. Offline Charging (Rf)
3.2. Online Charging (Ro)
3.3. Online Charging (Ro): A practical example
Before each service usage, the charging system must be asked for
permission (credit authorization). The charging server must make a
decision: Either authorize or deny the session. For postpaid scenarios
this is fairly easy: The charging-server only needs to collect the
usage data for processing it at the end of the month. As no realtime
account updating is needed, this is often called "offline-charging".
For prepaid scenarios the charging server needs to know the user's
account balance and it will need to update the account in real-time.
This is often referred to as "online-charging".
Question: What is the double of the Radius? Answer: It's the Diameter!
As quite often, we use the Diameter-Protocol to do the Charging in the
IMS. And as quite often, IMS uses a huge bunch of acronyms to describe
the different interfaces: We call the diameter-interface for
offline-charging the "Rf"-interface and the interface for online
charging the "Ro"-interface.
Each system, that needs this credit authorization, have to be equipped
with a proper charging trigger, a so-called charging-trigger-function
(CTF) in order to communicate with the charging-server (also called
charging-function):
[charging1.png]
3.1. Offline Charging (Rf)
For the offline charging (Rf), we have the following two
diameter-messages:
* ACR - Accounting Request
* ACA - Accounting Answer
Each request can have the following Accounting-Record-Type:
* START_RECORD - used to start an accounting session, typically when
the application receives a SIP 200 OK acknowledging an initial SIP
INVITE.
* INTERIM_RECORD - used to update a session, for example, in the case
of SIP RE-INVITE and/or UPDATE in the current SIP dialog.
* STOP_RECORD - used to stop an accounting session, for example, when
the application receives a SIP BYE message.
* EVENT_RECORD - used for event-based accounting, e.g. a short
message or similar
3.2. Online Charging (Ro)
For online charging (Ro), this get's a little bit more complicated. The
charging function needs to perform credit control before allowing
resource usage. The prepaid subscriber needs to exist in the
charging-server and all activities must be monitored by the
charging-server. We must distinguish between the following two cases:
* Direct debiting - the amount is immediately deducted from the
user's account in one single transaction. This could be for example
a SMS or the ordering of a movie in case of Video-on-Demand.
* Unit reservation - an amount is reserved by the charging-server.
This is done, because the charging-server does not know yet, how
many units are needed to provide the service. During the session,
the used amount may be deducted and more units can be requested; at
the end of the session the used sessions are reported in the final
request. These sessions could be typically a voice- or video-call
or a Pay-TV session, if you pay per usage.
As a result, we have the following three scenarios:
* Immediate Event Charging (IEC) - used for simple Event-based
charging
* Event Charging with Unit Reservation (ECUR) (of type Event-based
charging)
* Session Charging with Unit Reservation (SCUR) (of type
Session-based charging)
3.3. Online Charging (Ro): A practical example
But how does it look in reality? Let us make a more practical example:
Let us assume we have a subscriber, who has sufficient credit for 75
seconds of talking. The subscriber initiates a call; as we do not know,
how long the call will take, we start with requesting credit for 30
seconds (CCR-Request, we could request any duration, e.g. 2 hours, but
it would probably block other calls if we reserve all the required
credit).
The call proceeds, so after 30 seconds we send another CCR-Request with
the indication that we used the reserved 30 seconds and that we request
another 30 seconds. We reduce the account of the subscriber by 30
seconds, so he has a credit of 45 seconds. Since 45 seconds is more
than the requested 30 seconds, this second request can also easily be
accepted and another 30 seconds can be granted. After this request, the
account is at 45 seconds and we still (or again) have 30 seconds
reserved.
Meanwhile the subscriber initiates a second call. We try to request
again 30 seconds from the charging-server, but as our account is at 45
seconds of speaking time and since we reserved another 30 seconds for
the first call, we can only grant 15 seconds for the second call. The
last 15 seconds are now reserved for this subscriber; we have 45
seconds on the account of which 45 seconds are reserved.
Now the first call gets terminated: We only used 20 seconds from the
granted 30 seconds. So we decrease the account of the subscriber by 20
seconds and we reduce the amount of reserved units by 30. We have 25
seconds in the account and we have still reserved 15 seconds for the
second call.
As the second call is still proceeding, we will try to request another
30 seconds and we indicate, that we used the granted 15 seconds. The
account is deducted by 15 seconds (the used units) and we can grant
another 10 seconds for the second call, as this is the remains on the
account.
After 10 seconds, no more units can be granted, so the call is teared
down.
The following diagram is a graphical representation of the above
example:

4.1. hash_size(int)
The size of the hash table internally used to keep the
Diameter-Ro-Session. A larger table is much faster but consumes more
memory. The hash size must be a power of two number.
IMPORTANT: If Ro-Session's information should be stored in a database,
a constant hash_size should be used, otherwise the restoring process
will not take place. If you really want to modify the hash_size you
must delete all table's rows before restarting the server.
Default value is 4096.
Example 1.1. hash_sizeparameter usage
...
modparam("ims_charging", "hash_size", 1024)
...
4.2. db_mode (int)

4.17. service_context_id_root(string)
This defines a root-element of the Service-Context-Id AVP used in the
diameter-message
The Service-Context-Id AVP is of type UTF8String (AVP Code 461) and
contains a unique identifier of the Diameter credit-control service
specific document that applies to the request (as defined in section
RFC 4006 4.1.2). This is an identifier allocated by the service
provider, by the service element manufacturer, or by a standardization
body, and MUST uniquely identify a given Diameter credit-control
service specific document. The format of the Service-Context-Id is:
"service-context" "@" "domain" service-context = Token
The Token is an arbitrary string of characters and digits.
'domain' represents the entity that allocated the Service-Context-Id.
It can be ietf.org, 3gpp.org, etc., if the identifier is allocated by a
standardization body, or it can be the FQDN of the service provider
(e.g., provider.example.com) or of the vendor (e.g.,
vendor.example.com) if the identifier is allocated by a private entity.
Service-specific documents that are for private use only (i.e., to one
provider's own use, where no interoperability is deemed useful) may
define private identifiers without need of coordination. However, when
interoperability is wanted, coordination of the identifiers via, for
example, publication of an informational RFC is RECOMMENDED in order to
make Service-Context-Id globally available.
Default value is "32260@3gpp.org".
Example 1.17. service_context_id_rootparameter usage

modparam("ims_charging", "service_context_id_release", "262")
...
4.26. custom_user_avp (avp string)
When this parameter is set and the contents of the AVP is not empty,
the User-AVP in the Ro-Charging-Request will be based on the this
parameter rather than on the P-Asserted or From-Header.
This parameter allows you to setup an AVP with which you can customise
the user to be used in the Diameter-Request.
Default value: if not set, P-Asserted-Identity with a fallback to the
From-Header is used.
Example 1.26. custom_user_avpparameter usage

Application-Provided-Called Party-Address AVP will be addedd to
charging related requests. This is required for special cases e.g.
related to roaming for some diameter server.
Default value: if not set, the
Application-Provided-Called-Party-Address AVP will be not set.
Example 1.27. app_provided_party_avpparameter usage
...
modparam("ims_charging", "app_provided_party_avp", "$avp(app_user)")
