5G specific data offers in 5G NSA.
5G specific data offers in 5G NSA. As we know, by 3GPP standards, the 5G RAT type, in NSA implementation, is not visible at the Core level (EPC). 5G shares the same RAT type as 4G. Therefore, it is nearly impossible, with in the standards, to develop some 5G specific plans for customers. Conversion of 5G usage into points/discounts Although identification is not available at the Core level, there are methods to segregate the utilization from 4G. · Measure the traffic at the g-NodeB level and report it in CDRs · Measure the traffic at the e-NodeB level and report it in CDRs. · Scout the traffic and measure it. These offline reported usages can be filtered and aggregated through a mediation system and churn into points/discounts. Feedback churned data to OCS/PCRF The aggregated usage can be supplied to either OCS or PCRF or both to provide the provi...
