In a charging system for cellular communications, real-time prices for new connections are offered to the customer. The real-time prices take into account both prevailing and historic traffic patterns, together with the probability that the customer will move from their current cell into a neighbouring cell. Cells of the network are monitored in clusters. If a customer is located in one particular cell, the price offered to that customer will take into account the probability of handover to a neighbouring cell during the connection, and may also take into account the probability of incoming traffic from neighbouring cells during the connection. To enable this predictive pricing, the system stores, and may also update, historic data.
Dans un système de taxation de télécommunications cellulaires, des prix en temps réel pour de nouvelles communications sont proposés au client. Ces prix en temps réel tiennent compte à la fois des structures de trafic actuelles et passées, ainsi que de la probabilité que le client se déplacera depuis sa cellule normale vers l'intérieur d'une cellule avoisinante. Les cellules du réseau sont contrôlées en grappes. Si un client est situé dans une cellule particulière, le prix proposé à ce client tiendra compte de la probabilité de transfert vers une cellule avoisinante pendant la communication et, éventuellement, de la probabilité de trafic d'arrivée depuis des cellules avoisinantes pendant la communication. Afin de faciliter cette tarification prédictive, le système mémorise et, éventuellement, met à jour les données historiques.
