Access-point-dependent rate fixing of telecommunication links
First Claim
1. A method for access-point dependent calculation of telecommunication rates by way of a specific network, the method comprising the steps of:
- generating connecting data relating to telecommunication links obtained and used by a subscriber or a group of subscribers, said connecting data containing data identifying an access point used for each telecommunication link,using said data identifying the access point used for each telecommunication link to associate a specific rate to an access point or a plurality of access points most used by said subscriber or group of subscribers, andautomatically modifying the access point or the plurality of access points to which specific rates are associated if use of the access point or the plurality of access points is modified.

Abstract
For the access-point dependent calculation of telecommunication rates by way of a network, connecting data is generated in response to obtaining and using, by a subscriber or group of subscribers, telecommunication links. The connection data contains data identifying a network-access point used by a subscriber. During a specific period of time, there is stored connecting data in a connecting-data file. By, as a function of data on access points used in the period of time by a subscriber or a group of subscribers, determining to which of the access points there are coupled rates specific to the subscriber in question or group of subscribers, access-point-dependent rating is made possible in a simple and automatically self-regulating way. A system for applying the proposed way of rating is described as well.

7. A telecommunication system arranged for access-point-dependent calculation of telecommunication rates, comprising:
-
a telecommunication network; a recording unit operatively coupled to the telecommunication network and generating connecting data relating to telecommunication links obtained and used by a subscriber or a group of subscribers, said connecting data containing data identifying an access point used for each telecommunication link, and a processor unit operatively coupled to the recording unit and using said data identifying the access point used for each telecommunication link to associate a specific rate to an access point or a plurality of access points most used by said subscriber or group of subscribers, wherein the processor unit automatically modifies the access point or the plurality of access points to which specific rates are associated if use of the access points or the plurality of access points is modified. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13)
