0	Scope
The present document specifies the procedures used at the radio interface (reference point Um as defined in 3GPP TS 24.002) for normal operation, registration, erasure, activation, deactivation, invocation and interrogation of charging supplementary services. The provision and withdrawal of supplementary services is an administrative matter between the mobile subscriber and the service provider and causes no signalling on the radio interface.
In 3GPP TS 24.010 the general aspects of the specification of supplementary services at the layer 3 radio interface are given.
3GPP TS 24.080 specifies the formats and coding for the supplementary services.
Definitions and descriptions of supplementary services are given in 3GPP TS 22.004 and 3GPP TS 22.08x and 3GPP TS 22.09x‑series. 3GPP TS 22.024 and 02.86 are related to the charging supplementary services.
Technical realization of supplementary services is described in 3GPP TS 23.011 and 3GPP TS 23.08x and 3GPP TS 23.09x‑series. 3GPP TS 23.086 is related to the charging supplementary services.
The procedures for Call Control, Mobility Management and Radio Resource management at the layer 3 radio interface are defined in 3GPP TS 24.007 and 3GPP TS 24.008.
The following supplementary services belong to the charging supplementary services and are described in the present document:
-	Advice of Charge (Information)	(AoCI)	(clause 1);
-	Advice of Charge (Charging)	(AoCC)	(clause 2).
0.1	References
The following documents contain provisions which, through reference in this text, constitute provisions of the present document.

0.2	Abbreviations
Abbreviations used in the present document are listed in 3GPP TR 21.905.
1	Advice of Charge (Information) (AoCI)
1.1	Normal operation with successful outcome
On every successful request for an applicable telecommunications service, the served Mobile Station (MS) will be provided with charging information.
The network sends the Charge Advice Information (CAI) to the MS according to 3GPP TS 22.024, 3GPP TS 22.086 and 3GPP TS 23.086. With this information the MS is able to calculate the units associated with the requested service in real time. In the case where the served mobile is to be charged for multi party calls, separate processes within the MS are used to calculate units appropriate to each call. For unit calculation, each call is treated in the same way as a normal "two-party" call. Any change in the charging rate during a call may be indicated to the MS.
1.1.1	Call re-establishment
When the MS detects a radio link failure, the Chargeable Duration (CDUR) shall be suspended.
If a call re-establishment procedure is attempted, the MS shall resume the CDUR when:
-	an MM connection has been successfully completed; and
-	a TCH has been successfully seized in the appropriate mode.
1.1.2	MS originated call
For an MS originated call, charging information is transferred to the MS as shown in figure 1.1. The charging information is acknowledged in a FACILITY message only if the MS supports the AoCI functionality specified in 3GPP TS 22.024 and 3GPP TS 22.086. AoCI refers to the Advice of Charge (Information) service.

1.2	Normal operation with unsuccessful outcome
No signalling is performed by the network if a MS fails to acknowledge receipt of charging Information.

Activation, deactivation and invocation of the Advice of Charge (Information) supplementary service are not applicable.
1.4	Interrogation, registration and erasure
Interrogation, registration and erasure of the Advice of Charge (Information) supplementary service are not applicable.
2	Advice of Charge (Charging) (AoCC)
2.1	Normal operation with successful outcome
On every successful request for an applicable telecommunications service, the served MS will be provided with charging information.
The network sends the Charge Advice Information (CAI) to the MS according to 3GPP TS 22.024, 3GPP TS 22.086 and 3GPP TS 23.086. With this information the MS is able to calculate the units associated with the requested service in real time. In the case where the served mobile is to be charged for multi party calls, separate processes within the MS are used to calculate units appropriate to each call. For unit calculation, each call is treated in the same way as a normal "two-party" call. Any change in the charging rate during a call may be indicated to the MS.
2.1.1	Call re-establishment
When the MS detects a radio link failure, the Chargeable Duration (CDUR) shall be suspended.
If a call re-establishment procedure is attempted, the MS shall resume the CDUR when:
-	an MM connection has been successfully completed; and
-	a TCH has been successfully seized in the appropriate mode.
2.1.2	MS originated call
For an MS originated call, charging information is transferred to the MS as shown in figure 2.1. The charging information is acknowledged in a FACILITY message only if the MS supports the AoCC functionality specified in 3GPP TS 22.024 and 3GPP TS 22.086. AoCC refers to the Advice of Charge (Charging) service.
