Consolidated billing in a wireless network is achieved by employing a
processing node having storage capabilities for facilitating service
creation and/or negotiation, and billing for those services in a wireless
network, by associating user information and/or service information with
network information. User information, service information, and network
information, and their associated billing information, are provided
periodically and dynamically into the storage. Using the processing node,
user information and/or service information are associated with network
information without having to access various network elements located
throughout the network, to facilitate service creation and/or
negotiation, and billing of services, to thus minimize network processing
and network resources.
