Abstract

A method for the location-dependent and/or distance-dependent charging of telecommunication services in a mobile communication network, where the network includes several radio cells, each of which covers a certain service area and is supplied with radio signals by at least one associated base transceiver station. An individual, guaranteed subscriber area describing an area around a predefined geographical location is allocated to a subscriber. An actual subscriber area is formed with which all radio cells or parts of radio cells whose service area overlaps with the guaranteed subscriber area are associated. Telecommunication services used are charged at a special rate when the subscriber is located in the actual subscriber area.
