Title
Implementing Billing as a Service by an IPDR Aggregator System
Abstract
In the past decade, mobile Internet applications provided by cellular operators have been shifted from an emphasis on one-way content delivery to attention to two-way multimedia interaction. IP-based multimedia application development is booming in the recent years. Without systematical integration among these business support systems, subscribers may receive several different bills from different service providers periodically so as to makes them bedazzled. Meanwhile, cloud computing typically involves provisioning of dynamically scalable resources to provide a powerful computation. Motivated by the aforementioned facts, we propose an Internet Protocol Detail Record based architecture, which can combine different service bills and utilize cloud computing to calculate collectively aggregated bill, to establish a Billing as a Service for cellular operators. In order to validate the efficiency of clouding computing for the aggregated billing calculation, we also conduct performance evaluations for the billing computation over the traditional relational database and our proposed system.
