초록

과금 관리를 포함한 대부분의 망관리 기술들은 단일 서비스망을 중심으로 연구 개발되어 왔으며, 국내외적으로 ATM 기반의 이종 서비스망환경에서의 과금 관리는 현재 많은 연구 기관들에 의해 개발 중에 있다. 본 논문에서는 광대역 통신망의 복수 서비스를 통합?지원하는 액세스망에서의 실시간 과금 관리 시스템을 설계하고 구현한다. 과금 관리 시스템은 ATM 크로스커넥팅 기능을 수행하는 액세스노드상에서 과금 정보를 측정하고 기록하는 에이전트와 워크스테이션 상에서 과금 정보를 수집하고 처리하는 매니져 구조로 설계.구현되었다. 에이전트의 관리정보는 OSI 시스템 관리 서비스와 CMIP 프로토콜을 사용하는 TMN 표준 Q3 인터페이스를 통해 매니져로 전달된다. 이후 과금정보는 매니져에 의해 과금 레코드로 변환되어 해당 서비스 제공자에게 제공되고 웹을 통해 실시간으로 열람할 수 있다.

The billing techniques to support multiple services in an ATM based broadband access network have been rarely developed. In fact, the management techniques including accounting management have only focused on a single service environment such as PSTN thus far. In this paper, we present an accounting management system, called rtFAMS, designed and implemented to provide multiple Value Added Service Providers (VASPS) the charging records for the multiple services in a broadband access network. The architecture is based on OSI system management infrastructure and TMN Q3 interface to acquire accounting information from agents in the ATM cross-connecters as well as to process the billing mechanisms in the manager. This system Is designed to actively adopt the rapidly changing service environments and B-ISDN network management techniques. It also provides real-time accounting information to users using Web in addition to supplying the billing records to VASPs.
