Overview

SIST ETS 300 935 E1:2003 specifies the stage 2 description of the Advice of Charge (AoC) supplementary services within the digital cellular telecommunications system, specifically for the Global System for Mobile communications (GSM). Developed by the European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI), this standard details the functional architecture, information flow, and logical states supporting AoC services, which provide mobile subscribers with essential charging information. The core AoC services addressed are Advice of Charge (Information) (AoCI) and Advice of Charge (Charging) (AoCC).

Key Topics

  • Advice of Charge (AoC) Supplementary Services

    • AoCI (Advice of Charge - Information): Delivers charging information to subscribers, facilitating real-time awareness of call costs.
    • AoCC (Advice of Charge - Charging): Enables network-driven control over charging, including call restrictions based on defined thresholds.
  • Service State Management

    • Definition and handling of logical states (Provisioned, Not Provisioned, Active, Not Active).
    • State transition models illustrating how service providers activate or modify AoC services per subscriber.
  • Information Storage and Flow

    • Defines storage requirements of AoC-related service information in Home Location Registers (HLR) and Visitor Location Registers (VLR).
    • Describes how information is transferred between the HLR, VLR, and Mobile Switching Centre (MSC).
  • Roaming Considerations

    • Specifies how AoC functionality is managed and restricted for subscribers roaming across GSM networks, ensuring service consistency and accurate charging.
  • Impact on Network Elements

    • Outlines the interactions required between network components-such as MSCs and mobile equipment-to ensure accurate generation, delivery, and acknowledgment of Charge Advice Information (CAI).

Applications

Advice of Charge (AoC) services play a crucial role in:

  • Mobile Call Cost Transparency
    • Empowering subscribers with real-time cost information during voice calls, facilitating budget management for both individuals and businesses.
  • Billing Control and Management
    • Enabling operators to enforce controls, such as preventing calls when usage limits are exceeded, which supports prepaid services and cost containment.
  • Roaming User Experience
    • Ensuring subscribers receive consistent charging information and service restrictions regardless of their location within GSM networks.
  • Network and Service Optimization
    • Supporting the delivery of supplementary services that enhance customer satisfaction and foster trust in mobile telecommunications providers.

These applications are especially relevant for service providers offering prepaid or corporate plans, enterprises with cost management needs, and end users seeking transparency and control over mobile expenses.

Related Standards

SIST ETS 300 935 E1:2003 references and complements several key GSM and ETSI standards:

  • GSM 01.04 (ETR 350): Definitions of abbreviations and acronyms used in GSM systems.
  • GSM 02.24 (ETS 300 923): Describes Charge Advice Information (CAI) for digital cellular telecommunications.
  • GSM 02.86: Stage 1 requirements for AoC supplementary services.
  • GSM 03.11 (ETS 300 928): Technical realization of supplementary services in GSM networks.

These standards collectively establish the technical foundation for implementing AoC supplementary services and enable interoperable, secure, and reliable charging capabilities across GSM mobile networks.

By adhering to SIST ETS 300 935 E1:2003, operators and equipment manufacturers ensure consistent and transparent charging functionalities, supporting robust account and cost management for GSM subscribers.

1.1 Advice of Charge (Information) MSC SDL diagram
The SDL diagram for the Advice of Charge (Information) supplementary service within the MSC is given in
figure 1.1.
NOTE 1: AoC (Information) is not applicable to emergency calls.
NOTE 2: The request of generation of the Charge Advice Information (CAI) applies to AoC
initiation or charge modification.
1.2 Advice of Charge (Information) mobile equipment SDL diagram
The SDL diagram for the Advice of Charge (Information) supplementary service within the mobile
equipment is given in figure 1.2. This SDL indicates when charging calculations are started, amended and
stopped, within the mobile equipment. The mobile equipment should start charging calculations as soon as
possible after receiving the charging information. Charging calculations should be amended by the mobile
equipment in accordance with GSM 02.24.
NOTE: The point at which the charging calculations are amended can occur before or after
sending the AoC Acknowledge.
Charging calculations are stopped when the call ends for any reason.
The reception of the CAI shall be acknowledged only if the MS supports the AoCI functionality specified in
GSM 02.24 and GSM 02.86, however the network does not action this acknowledgement in the
AoC (Information) case.
1.3 Advice of Charge (Information) information flow diagram
The Advice of Charge (Information) information flow diagrams are shown in figure 1.3.

1.4 Information stored in the HLR
AoCI may have the following logical states (refer to GSM 03.11 for an explanation of the notation):
Provisioning State Registration State Activation State HLR Induction State
(Not Provisioned, Not Applicable, Not Active, Not Induced)
(Provisioned, Not Applicable, Active and Operative, Not Induced)
The HLR shall store the logical state of AoCI (which shall be one of the valid states listed above) on a per
subscriber basis.
1.5 State transition model
The following figure shows the successful cases of transition between the applicable logic states of AoCI.
The state changes are caused by actions of the service provider.
Note that error cases are not shown in the diagram as they normally do not cause a state change.
Additionally, some successful requests may not cause a state change. Hence they are not shown in the
diagram.

1.6 Transfer of Information from HLR to VLR
If the provisioning state for AoCI is "Provisioned" then when the served subscriber registers on a VLR the
HLR shall send that VLR information about the logical state of AoCI.
