ABSTRACT: The billing data processing mechanism in a communication
processing system (CPS) provides an information provider (IP) access
function and a billing data generating function. To perform this
mechanism, the CPS uses an information billing protocol (IBP) which
defines the communication procedure between the CPS and IPs and
generates the billing information. Using this mechanism, information
users can connect open IPs without a service account and the IPs reduce
the billing management overload. This paper describes the concept of the
IBP, the generation of billing data in the information service access
point (ISAP) and management of billing data in mediation-operation,
administration and management (M-OAM)
