An advertisement presentation system includes at least one display device that is detachably provided to a vehicle, an information processing device, and a management server. The information processing device is configured to acquire advertisement information representing an advertisement, and to output the acquired advertisement information to the display device. The display device is configured to present the advertisement information output from the information processing device such that the advertisement information is directed outward from the vehicle. The information processing device is configured to transmit task report information representing a presentation task report for the advertisement information by the display device to the management server. The management server is configured to determine remuneration to cover both incurred data communication costs and advertising costs associated with presentation of the advertisement information, in accordance with the task report information transmitted from the information processing device.

A communication system includes: a first communication apparatus configured to control a first wireless communication and a second wireless communication different from the first wireless communication; a second communication apparatus configured to communicate using the second communication; and a third communication apparatus configured to perform data communication with the first communication apparatus via the first wireless communication or the second wireless communication, wherein the third communication apparatus transmits to the first communication apparatus a control message that includes an available address of the third wireless communications apparatus used in the second wireless communication, the first communication apparatus notifies the second communication apparatus of the available address of the third communication apparatus, and the second communication apparatus communicate with the third communication apparatus using the address.

Systems and methods are provided for billing of metadata in a network of moving things.

Disclosed here is a method to determine a user intent when a user device initiates an interactive voice response (IVR) call with a wireless telecommunication network. A processor can detect the IVR call initiated with the network and determine whether the user device is a member of the network. Upon determining that the user device is a member of the network, the processor can obtain user history including interaction history between the user and the network. Based on the user history, the processor can predict the user intent when the user initiates the IVR call. The processor can detect whether user device is a 5G capable device. Upon the determining that the device is 5G capable and based on the predicted user intent, the processor can suggest to the user an application configured to execute on the user device and configured to address the predicted user intent.

A first network device may receive a protocol data unit (PDU) session establishment or modification request, and may perform one or more actions based on the PDU session establishment or modification request. The first network device may receive, based on performing the one or more actions, a first message indicating that the PDU session is authenticated and authorized, and may select a second network device associated with establishing or modifying a management policy for the PDU session. The first network device may receive, from the second network device, a second message indicating whether to wait for receipt of a charging data response, to a charging data request, before interacting with a third network device, and may provide the charging data request to a fourth network device while interacting with the third network device when the second message indicates not to wait for receipt of the charging data response.

A system for generating and applying a secure token in a resource distribution network is provided. For example, a headend system generates a time-based token based on a time duration specified for a meter. The time-based token indicates the time duration for the meter. The time-based token is further generated based on an identifier of the meter. The headend system transmits the time-based token to the meter via at least a mesh network. After receiving the time-based token, the meter validates the time-based token to determine that the time-based token is generated for the meter based on information related to the identifier of the meter. If the meter determines that the time-based token is valid, the meter connects premises associated with the meter to a resource distribution network for at least the time duration specified in the time-based token.

Methods and devices for supporting charging relating to a group transmission in a wireless communication network. The group transmission involving a group of wireless devices configured to, via one or more direct communication links between each other, participate in transmission of user data between a source wireless device and the network. It is obtained, for each one of wireless devices of the group, a data amount indicator indicating how much data the wireless device has been involved in transmitting as part of the group transmission. It is provided one or more reports based on the obtained data amount indicators to one or more core network nodes.

An information processing apparatus includes: a memory; and a processor coupled to the memory and the processor configured to: acquire charge system information indicating a charge system of each application programming interface (API) called by a service; acquire usage history information indicating a usage history of the service by a user; and calculate a cost for each API based on a number of calls of each API, which is included in the usage history information, and a charge system of each API.

An example communications system for providing communication services between communications devices may employ multiple usage rates for metered communication services. A method for adjusting usage amounts to account for multiple usage rates may include determining a usage adjustment factor for a communications event; determining a metered usage amount for the communications event; and determining an adjusted usage amount based on the usage adjustment factor and the metered usage amount for the communications amount. Thus, a billing system in the communications system may determine an invoice amount based on the adjusted usage amount and a predetermined bill rate.
