Causes for Generation of Partial CDRs

Causes for generation of partial CDRs

Causes for CDR closure

The session ends. The SGSN changes (inter-SGSN RAU including system handovers). An abort occurs.

The service duration threshold is

reached. The traffic volume threshold is reached. The charging condition changes, for example, the tariff changes.

Step 1: Add Boards

Hardware related to the Ga interface:

ECU: collects charging information for the signaling plane, and collects,

E C U

encodes, sends, and caches CDRs.

EPU: collects charging information for the user plane, processes the IP protocol, and provides external
