A device and a method of subdividing data service charge in mobile
communication network is disclosed. In one embodiment, the method
includes receiving a billing initiation request signal from a wireless
data service device (either an interworking function (IWF) unit or a
packet data serving node (PDSN)), producing a usage-amount data for the
subscriber based on at least one of the type and amount of data being
transmitted through the wireless data service device on the mobile
communication network. The method also includes, responsive to a billing
end request signal, received from the wireless data service device,
transferring a billing request signal, requesting to bill the subscriber
for the usage-amount data, to an authentication, authorization and
accounting (AAA) unit. In one embodiment, the above method can apply to a
graduated billing for the each service group in the mobile communication
network.
