Usage Management is the conduit for usage
events from the network to various processes such as billing, legal compliance,
and service assurance. Network
usage event records are collected/processed, edited, correlated, enriched,
formatted and distributed to upstream systems.
The Usage Management function supports both session and event based charging in both batch and real-time. Usage event records that are found to have errors are processed per business rules.
