Abstract

See full text

Systems and methods that handle partial Charging Data Records (CDRs) for a session. An offline charging system includes a cluster of Charging Gateway Functions (CGF). A first CGF of the cluster receives a first Fully Qualified Partial CDR (FQPC) for a session, and stores FQPC data based on the first FQPC in a centralized storage module that is accessible by each of the CGFs in the cluster. A second CGF of the cluster receives a Reduced Partial CDR (RPC) for the session responsive to a failure of the first CGF, retrieves the FQPC data from the centralized storage module, and generates a second FQPC for the session based on the RPC and the FQPC data retrieved from the centralized storage module.
