BEFORE CBS( IN & OCS)
 Prepaid and postpaid charging systems used to operate independently.
 The network device provider develops the prepaid charging system by
using the Intelligent Network (IN) technology.
 The postpaid charging system is provided by the charging device provider
and realized through the Operation and Support System (OSS).
 Voice and data services in prepaid and postpaid charging systems
couldn’t be managed uniformly.
 Prepaid and postpaid subscribers used to differ in subscriber experience,
service management, and service expansion. E.g. Data inconsistency;
status difference etc.
 Carriers had to manage and maintain two or more systems, which
increases O&M cost.
 Prepaid: service tariff was inflexible; response time was slow; and data
service was poor. Hard to change from prepaid to postpaid and vice versa
 Postpaid : No real-time charging and traffic control hence, revenue loss.
 Hard to satisfy subscriber requirements
