Paging Permission with Access Control (PPAC) is a mandatory function in the Rel-8 that improves Mobile Communications, during congestion in emergency situations, such as earthquakes. In networks congested during an emergency situation with all but essential users barred, the implementation of PPAC would extend the number of use cases to allow: additional combinations of calls between authorized and non authorized users and calls between non authorized users. This feature allows the users to respond to a paging request even when under access class barring.

This work introduces conformance testing of Paging Permission with Access Control for the signalling Layer 3 aspects.

Several services are characterized by an initial period between the service selection and the service provision. Such period starts when the call is taken up by the Service Centre and finishes when the service is really delivered to the end-user. In several cases, the price is charged to the caller only at the provision of the requested service while the latency period is not charged or is correlated to a different tariff. More generally, multiple service phases could occur at different tariffs.

As an example, the services with voice navigation selection in voice band are characterized by the presence of an initial period of interactivity free for the caller: such period starts when the call is taken up by the Service Centre and ends up when the caller makes the choice of the requested service, using a contents' menu (e.g. a voice navigation system).

Such interactive activity may be realized either with an automatic answering machine or with a human operator through live conversation.

This applies to the case where the IMS network is directly connected to the Service Provider (SP), as well as to the interconnection between IMS networks when the SP is not directly connected to the IMS serving network.

In general, charging such a service, it is required to trigger:

1. Start of the first phase of the service, where the network resources are allocated but the real service is not yet provided (a first tariff may apply);

2. End of this first phase of the service / Start of the subsequent phase of the service, where the real service is provided to the user (a second tariff may apply). Multiple service phases may occur in sequence.

3. End of last period of the service;

This work adds via CR to TS 22.115 charging requirements for point 2 above. These requirements apply to the charging among operators and SPs when the SP is directly connected to the IMS serving network, and between operators in case of interconnection when the SP is not directly connected to the IMS serving network.

The solution allows operators to get appropriate information (e.g. using CDR) of the first interactive phase and the subsequent phases of the service provision.
