4.2.6 Charging
版权声明: 转载请注明出处 http://www.codingsoho.com/The integrated deployment of MEC in a 5G system relies on the UPF as the PDU session anchor and gateway to data networks where the MEC environment is deployed. Consequently, the same charging mechanisms and capabilities apply as apply to non-MEC applications.
The transformation of the telco networks into 3rd party service hosting environments where the application cloud becomes an integral part of the telco network calls for new approaches in charging principles and capabilities. Along with the tight integration between 5G NFs such as UPF and SMF and MEC, it is expected that the support of both online charging and offline charging will be relatively straightforward, which would allow 3GPP compliant MEC deployments with charging natively supported for MEC applications.
However more investigation is needed and ETSI ISG MEC looks at the 3GPP charging experts as the source of any new capabilities.
