Arrangement and method for determining charging in a telecommunications system
First Claim
1. A method for determining charging related to a data bit transfer session, said bit transfer session involving bit transfer over a wireless communications link under the control of a radio resource managing unit, which radio resource managing unit dynamically determines the bandwidth on the wireless link available to the bit transfer session the method comprising the steps of:
- a charging logic receiving information from the radio resource managing unit about the bandwidth on the wireless link that the bit transfer session is allowed to use; and
said charging logic determining the charging related to the bit transfer session based on said received information from the radio resource managing unit.

Abstract
The present invention relates to a method and arrangements for determining charging related to a data bit transfer session from a traffic source (209) to a client (213), said bit transfer session involving bit transfer over a wireless communications link (214f) under the control of a radio resource managing unit (204). According to the method of the present invention the radio resource managing unit (204) sends information regarding the bandwidth on the wireless link that the bit transfer session currently is allowed to use to a charging logic (212). This bandwidth information from the radio resource managing unit (204) is used by the charging logic (212) to determine the charging related to the bit transfer session. Thereby a fair charging of the session may be achieved, which is adapted to the quality of service actually obtained by the end-user for the session.
