System and method for enabling reciprocal billing for different types of communications over a packet network

Stephen K. Edwards, +2 more
TLDR
In this paper, a system and method for determining inter-carrier network usage may be used, which may include determining network usage of a first packet network managed by a first communications carrier by subscribers of a second communications carrier that manages a second packet network.
Abstract: 
A system and method for determining inter-carrier network usage may be used. The method may include determining network usage of a first packet network managed by a first communications carrier by subscribers of a second communications carrier that manages a second packet network. The network usage may distinguish communications of data packets including real-time content and non-real-time content. Network usage of the second packet network by subscribers of the first communications subscriber may be determined. A network usage differential between the determined usages of the first and second packet networks may be determined, where the network usage information may distinguish communications of data packets including real-time and non-real-time content.

System and Method for Providing User Notifications

Gregory G. Raleigh, +3 more
TL;DR: In this article, an end user device associated with a service plan having a limit on usage of a network service, the method comprising storing one or more notification actions corresponding to one-or more notification requests; performing a device action that reflects a past or intended use of the network service; receiving one of the one or multiple notification requests from a network element in response to the device action; performing one of several notification actions, the notification action causing the user device to retrieve at least a portion of a notification message associated with the status of the use.
