“…The essence of the market-managed approach is bringing the customer systems into the control loop through a mechanism of price tuning and new fare notification: support functions dynamically tune prices depending on client QoS demands; the proposed middleware infrastructure notifies users of the new prices and configures the accounting support accordingly, by exploiting a Java-based SNMPcompliant implementation [17]. On the other hand, the accounting working group of Next Generation Internet specifically focuses on the concepts of cost sharing and reverse charging, to enable an Internet Service Provider (ISP) to account final users for their actually received traffic, even when users are accessing the Internet via other collaborating ISPs [18]. By focusing on the accounting approaches that address also mobility issues, the Charging Accounting and Billing proposal, developed within the framework of the MOBIVAS project [19], is an integrated system for supporting advanced business models for service provisioning in 3G mobile systems.…”

Abstract. Wireless communications and device miniaturization are enabling pervasive scenarios where the limited resource availability and the wide heterogeneity of access terminals make crucial to provide mechanisms and tools for the dynamic adaptation of Quality of Service (QoS). Particularly in case of very resource-consuming services QoS levels should be downscaled to fit the specific characteristics of the provisioning environment and of the current access device. In this context, a challenging aspect is to account clients not only for the generated network traffic, but also for the distributed resources involved in the dynamic QoS adaptation. The paper presents an accounting middleware solution that extends the traditional Internet where and when needed, depending on the mobility patterns of the wireless client devices, by introducing flexible mobile components for metering and charging. The middleware exploits the Mobile Agent (MA) technology to achieve dynamicity in metering/charging behavior, locality in the access to metering data, and to enable session-dependent accounting, even in case of temporary network partitioning.

“…The Charging and Accounting System integrates the Java technology with SNMP and aims at differently charging applications that require different QoS levels, at dynamically modifying tariffs and promptly distributing them to involved users. The Next Generation Internet (NGI) accounting working group is focusing specifically on differentiated charging strategies, capable of modifying even during Internet service provisioning: in particular, the NGI architecture for reverse charging enables an ISP to account final users for the received traffic, even if the users are currently connected to another ISP [14, 15,16]. The Mobility and Differentiated Services in a future IP Network (MobyDick) defines and implements a mobility-enabled end-to-end QoS architecture based on IPv6 [17,18].…”
