A method and system for charging for services in a communication system
comprises a charging entity and at least two connection support entities
for providing resources to support a connection in the communication
system. Various steps include detecting initiation of a connection by the
connection support entities; generating a charging identity for
identifying the connection; determining a first charge for supporting the
connection by the first connection support entity; determining a second
charge for the support of the connection by the second connection support
entity; transmitting a first charging message from the first connection
support entity to the charging entity, the message specifying the first
charge and including the charging identity; and transmitting a second
charging message from the second connection support entity to the
charging entity, the second charging message specifying the second charge
and including the charging identity.
