full_form: Event Based Charging Function
context: Figure 6.2.1.1.1.1 describes the case where the EBCF invokes the PriceRequest method in an IEC scenario. Figure 6.2.1.1.1.1: PriceRequest method with IEC - Step 1: The EBCF receives an online charging request for a certain event/service. - Step 2: The EBCF requests account and counter information for the subscriber from the ABMF. - Step 2' (Optional):In case there is no existing subscriber's context, the EBCF creates a new subscriber's context information. Otherwise, the EBCF updates the existing subscriber's context and gets the list of active services for the given subscriber (see note below). This Step only applies when correlation is enabled. - Step 3: Upon receipt of this data, the EBCF sends a PriceRequest to the RF in order to determine the price of the desired service. Note that this scenario assumes that the EBCF has not received any service cost information in the online charging request. Note that the PriceRequest may contain several service requests depending on the number
description: The Event Based Charging Function (EBCF) is a network function responsible for handling event-based charging scenarios. Its tasks include requesting account and counter information, creating or updating subscriber context, and sending PriceRequests to determine service costs.
explanation: EBCF is classified as a Network Function because it performs specific functions within the telecommunications network to manage event-based charging processes.
