Claim Text:
1. A system for wireless communication provisioning of a mobile terminal operating in a carrier network including at least one carrier tower comprising: a processor; and a memory coupled with the processor, wherein the memory is configured to provide the processor with instructions which when executed cause the processor to: determine a current provisioning state associated with one or more identifiers; determine a next provisioning state associated with the one or more identifiers; determine a state transition rule associated with the one or more identifiers, wherein the state transition rule defines a transition between the current provisioning state and the next provisioning state; generate a first billing instruction based on the current provisioning state, a first data type in a first packet data protocol (PDP) session established by the mobile terminal, wherein the first billing instruction indicates a first party to be billed and a first billing rate for wireless data usage of the mobile terminal; determine that a transition condition has occurred and apply the state transition rule; and generate a second billing instruction based on the next provisioning state, a second data type in a second packet data protocol (PDP) session established by the mobile terminal, wherein the second billing instruction indicates a second party to be billed and a second billing rate for the wireless data usage of the mobile terminal.
