METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR CALL DETAIL RECORD GENERATION FOR BILLING SYSTEMS
First Claim
1. A method of generating Call Detail Records (CDR) to optimize network usage notifications to a mobile device subscriber, the method comprising:
- determining, by a billing system module, CDR generation parameters for the mobile device subscriber based on the mobile device subscriber'"'"'s network usage, wherein determining the CDR generation parameters includes at least one of increasing CDR generation when the mobile device subscriber'"'"'s network usage relative to a predetermined quota is high and decreasing CDR generation when the mobile device subscriber'"'"'s network usage relative to the predetermined quota is low;
transmitting, by the billing system module, the CDR generation parameters to a Policy Charging and Enforcement Function (PCEF) module; and
applying, by a PCEF module, the received CDR generation parameters to control CDR generation for the mobile device subscriber.

Abstract
A system and method for generating Call Detail Records (CDR) to optimize network usage notifications to a mobile device subscriber. The system and method can include a billing system module that determines CDR generation parameters for the mobile device subscriber based on the mobile device subscriber'"'"'s network usage, including increasing CDR generation when the mobile device subscriber'"'"'s network usage relative to a predetermined quota is high and/or decreasing CDR generation when the mobile device subscriber'"'"'s network usage relative to the predetermined quota is low. The CDR generation parameters can be applied to control CDR generation for the mobile device subscriber.
