“…Specifically, the peer-to-peer architecture proposed in [18] does not consider mobility and then does not meet the requirement (a) and (b) in term of flexibility and high availability. The SCP protocol proposed in the work [19] has only addressed the security issue in charging process assuming an existing solution. As far as the work in [20] is concerned, it does not take into consideration the requirement (b) and (c).…”

VANET (Vehicular Ad Hoc Network) is actually an important field for the development of a variety of services. In VANET charging and billing of services could not be enabled in the same way as in classical mobile and fix networks and MANET (Mobile Ad Hoc Network) because of the characteristics of such network namely the high speed of nodes, frequent disconnection between nodes, rapidly changing topology and the large size of the network. The purpose of this work is to propose a flexible high level charging and billing scheme to allow a high availability of the charging and billing process in VANET.

“…Advanced gametheoretic algorithms for the efficient utilization of the shared infrastructure among multiple network operators have also been proposed, aiming to save energy and reduce operation costs [7]. Finally, new challenges in the design of charging and billing mechanisms arise as multiple providers compete for the provision of Internet services, making imperative the need for flexible, scalable and fair pricing schemes [8].…”

Abstract-The latest impressive technological advancements in the telecommunications domain have entailed the involvement of new network operators andOver-the-Top (OTT) providers that offer their services over the existing networks. This entry of new stakeholders has changed the Internet dynamics and triggered a long-standing conversation on whether different types of data in the network should be prioritized, also known as the network neutrality debate. On the one hand, OTT providers benefit from the current neutral Internet policy of not discriminating against any application or content in order to transfer their data for free, whereas network providers would like to seize the business opportunity and create revenues by supporting the prioritized delivery of data. In this article, we want to shed some light on the emerging Internet ecosystem and the conflicting interests of its stakeholders. To that end, we first identify the different Internet players and describe their interrelationships. Furthermore, in an effort to offer a new perspective on the network neutrality debate, we propose two novel econometric models that employ recent financial data to capture the relationship between the OTT revenues and the financial gains and investments of the telecommunication operators. Our empirical results provide tangible answers to fundamental questions that had not been answered before, showcasing that OTT and telecommunication providers have aligned interests and their collaboration could be beneficial to both parties.

Voice over IP and Video over IP communication services gradually replaces traditional telephony systems. Furthermore, Next Generation Network (NGN) standards define the new network services and technology meant to replace current telecommunications services. The false impression is that multimedia communication is free because it uses the existing IP network infrastructure. However, the reality is that, it involves costs mainly due to the increased bandwidth required for this communication and for the new equipment needed to be installed. In this paper we address the problem of charging services provided by new type of network built on top of IP network infrastructure.
