Abstract:
1. A method implemented in a telephony network for generating a charging data record (CDR) for a subscriber that is supported by a visited network while away from the subscriber's home network comprising the steps of: transmitting a request from a first node in the visited network for profile information about the subscriber where the request seeks the profile information stored in a home subscriber server (HSS) in the subscriber's home network; receiving a reply at the first node in the visited network in response to the request where the reply includes all of the profile information about the subscriber stored in the HSS of the subscriber's home network; storing by the first node the profile information received in the reply; generating by the first node the CDR associated with the subscriber as supported in the visited network where the CDR includes subscriber data derived from the stored profile information; transmitting the CDR by the first node to another node in the telephony network to be used to determine billing associated with services provided to the subscriber.
