In order to provide a communication system capable of charging control in accordance with a bearer used by a UE even when the UE performs dual connectivity, a communication system according to the present disclosure includes a communication terminal (11) configured to communicate with a communication device (12) and a communication device (13) by using a different radio bearer for each of the communication device (12) and the communication device (13), and a control device (14) configured to determine whether to cause the communication device (12) to measure the traffic of each radio bearer.

When an SIP server receives a call signal addressed to a callee side terminal, the SIP server transmits a warning signal to the callee side terminal before transmitting the call signal to the callee side terminal when an international call identifier indicating that the call signal passes through a foreign country is set in the call signal. In addition, when the SIP server receives the call signal addressed to the callee side terminal, the SIP server includes a warning that the caller number is disguised in a warning signal when an international call identifier indicating that the call signal passes through a foreign country is set in the call signal and the caller number of the call signal is a number from a country in which the callee side terminal is located.

Embodiments of this application disclose a charging method and related devices. An example charging method includes: sending a charging start request for a packet data unit (PDU) session to a charging function apparatus, where the charging start request carries an indication receiving address; receiving an indication message that is sent by the charging function apparatus based on the indication receiving address, where the indication message carries an indication type; and performing charging processing based on the indication type.

Example charging methods and apparatus are described. One example method includes sending a service resource create request to a charging system by a charging trigger apparatus. The charging trigger apparatus receives a service resource create response sent by the charging system. The service resource create request is used to request the charging system to create a service resource corresponding to a service in a session. The session is used to provide a data connection service to user equipment. The service resource is used to manage requesting for a quota for the service in the session and/or manage reporting of usage information of the service in the session. The service resource create response includes a first resource identifier, and the first resource identifier is used to identify the service resource that corresponds to the service in the session and that is created by the charging system.

A method for off-loading tasks between a set of wireless earpieces in an embodiment of the present invention may have one or more of the following steps: (a) monitoring battery levels of the set of wireless earpieces, (b) determining the first wireless earpiece battery level and the second wireless battery level, (c) communicating the battery levels of each wireless earpiece to the other wireless earpiece of the set of wireless earpieces, (d) assigning a first task involving one or more of the following: computing tasks, background tasks, audio processing tasks, and sensor data analysis tasks from one of the set of wireless earpieces to the other wireless earpiece if the battery level of the one of the set of wireless earpieces falls below a critical threshold, (e) communicating data for use in performing a second task to the other wireless earpiece if the second task is communicated to the first wireless earpiece.

A network services provider delivers bandwidth services to users in relation to a dynamic limit based on an average user consumption, rather than a fixed amount per subscriber. An average user consumption is employed to compute a consumption limit from relative portions of a user community substantially exceed the average, typically defined as “heavy users.” Usage levels below the consumption limit have an increased availability up to the consumption limit. The consumption limit may vary from a total capacity of the service infrastructure, which changes, generally in an increasing manner, as additional resources are added to the network. The consumption limits may be defined over different service intervals, such as daily, weekly or monthly, and for different groups of users depending on network layout.

A multi-tenant media processing platform system and method. At least a first media analysis service of a plurality of media analysis services is activated for at least a portion of an active communication session of an entity in the platform system. The first activated media analysis service performs a first media analysis on media of the active communication session that is collected by the platform system. The first activated media analysis service performs the first media analysis on the collected media while the communication session is active to generate a first media analysis result. During the active communication session, at least one media analysis result is applied.

A system for generating and applying a secure token in a resource distribution network is provided. For example, a headend system generates a global token based on a time duration specified for multiple meters that are in communication with the headend system through at least a mesh network in a normal condition. The global token is associated with the time duration and is applicable to the multiple meters. The headend system causes the global token to be broadcast via a broadcast network. After receiving the global token, the meter verifies the global token and determines the time duration associated with the global token. The meter further connects premises associated with the meter to a resource distribution network for at least the time duration associated with the global token.

Disclosed herein are various embodiments to prevent, detect, or take action in response to the moving a device credential from one device to another, the improper configuration of a service processor, a missing service processor, or the tampering with a service processor in device-assisted services (DAS) systems.

One example method includes identifying an IO event comprising an IO made by a customer against a service hosted at an XaaS platform, and the IO event is associated with IO event metadata generated by the service, associating the IO event metadata with a billable customer operation, analyzing the IO event metadata and, based on the analyzing, associating the IO event with the customer, and generating a customer bill based on the associating of the IO event metadata with the billable customer operation, and based on the associating of the IO event with the customer.
