Luoming Meng · Journal of China Institute of Communications · 2005
New emerging demands in network management of next generation network have addressed focus on the next generation operation and support system and software(NGOSS), and IP billing is one of the most important functionalities future networks need to offer. An IP billing functional model was proposed based on an improved reference model, and the interfaces between IP billing system and the network management system in NGOSS were analyzed. To demonstrate the functional model, a prototype was designed and implemented.
