Patent ID: 7873346

Claim:
A method for determining a charging rate related to a data bit transfer session for a mobile client communicating with a radio resource managing unit comprising the steps of: dynamically determining a bandwidth on the wireless communication link available to and allowed to be used by the bit transfer session for said mobile client; a charging logic receiving information from the radio resource managing unit about the bandwidth on the wireless communication link that the bit transfer session is available to use; and said charging logic applying a particular charging rate for said mobile client based on said received bandwidth information for said data bit transfer session wherein the charging logic adapting the charging rate related to the bit transfer session such that the session is charged according to a first charging rate associated with a first charging class when the bandwidth on the wireless link available to the bit transfer session is within a first predetermined interval and according to a second charging rate associated with a second charging class when the bandwidth on the wireless link available to the bit transfer session is within a second predetermined interval.
