Abstract

A method and system for secondary traffic charging in a radio telecommunications network (61) is disclosed. The system includes a mobile switching center (MSC) (63) for delivering a call in the radio telecommunications network and a radio network controller (RNC) (67) for controlling the radio telecommunications network. The MSC includes a charging unit (73) for calculating a primary traffic charge, a secondary traffic charge, and a total charge for a call.
Additionally, the RNC (67) employs frame structure counters (69) to assess the amount of secondary traffic carried in the call. The method begins by the frame structure counters (69) assessing an amount of secondary traffic carried in a call in the radio telecommunications network. The charging unit (73) then calculates a charge for the secondary traffic carried by the call.
