Abstract

Novel services in the mobile telecommunication era are far more longer then a few years ago when the price of the call was calculated purely on the length of the session. To overcome possible fraud issues, the corresponding standards are defining partial CDRs that are sent to the billing system periodically during the sessions. These partial CDRs has to be analyzed and stored in a database for correlation. The size of this database, and thus the required processing time is heavily depending on the distributions of the calls. In this paper we gave a method to calculate the expected number of partial CDRs and the required database size if these distributions are at least partially known.
