### Charging Profile Number (cgprsCgProfileNum)

Represents the P bits in charging characteristics.

### Description (cgprsCgProfileDesc)

The text string that describes this profile.

### Category (cgprsCgProfileCategory)

Indicates the current charging profile category. There are four possible values:

> hotRate: hot billing

> flat: flat rate charging

> prepaid: prepaid charging

> normal: normal charging

### Suppress CDRs (cgprsCgProfileCdrSuppress)

When set to true, no CDRs are generated.

### Volume Limit (cgprsCgProfileVolumeLimit)

The volume limit at which a CDR update must take place.

### Reset Volume Limit Timer (cgprsCgProfileVolumeLimitReset)

Used to reset the volume limit timer specified in cgprsCgProfileVolumeLimit when another trigger occurs.

> When set to true, the volume limit timer is reset when another trigger, such as reaching the duration limit, occurs.

> When set to false, the volume timer will continue until it reaches the value set in cgprsCgProfileVolumeLimit.

### Time Duration Limit (cgprsCgProfileDurLimit)

The time limit in which a CDR update must take place. The value zero indicates that no limit is set.

### Reset Duration Limit (cgprsCgProfileDurLimitReset)

Used to reset the duration limit timer specified in cgprsCgProfileDurLimit when another trigger occurs.

> When set to true, the duration limit timer is reset when another trigger, such as reaching the volume limit, occurs.

> When set to false, the duration timer will continue until it reaches the value set in cgprsCgProfileDurLimit.

### Enable Tariff Time (cgprsCgProfileTariffTime)

When set to true, enables the tariff time for this profile.

### Maximum SGSN Changes (cgprsCgProfileSgsnChange)

Denotes the maximum number of SGSN changes that will trigger the closure of G-CDR or partial record. When the maximum number is reached, the record is closed and a new partial record is opened. When the value is zero, then for every SGSN change, the G-CDR or partial record is closed.

### CDRs Suppression for Prepaid (cgprsCgProfileCdrSuppressPrepaid)

Specifies the suppression of CDRs for prepaid. This can be set to true only when cgprsCgProfileCdrSuppress is set to false. When set to:

- true - There won't be any CDRs generated for prepaid users.
- false - CDRs will be generated for prepaid users.

### DCCA Client (cgprsCgProfileContentDccaProfile)

Specifies a Diameter Credit Control Application (DCCA) client to use to communicate with a DCCA server in a GGSN charging profile. The profile name is the DCCA profile name (cGgsnSADccaProfileName).

The presence of the object in this table indicates that online billing is required. Therefore, regardless of whether a subscriber is prepaid or postpaid, the GGSN will contact the DCCA server if this object is set.

If the user is to be treated as a postpaid user, the server returns X and the user is treated as a postpaid user. If this object is not set to a valid value, then users using the charging profile will be treated as postpaid (offline billing).

### Close/Update PostPaid Time (cgprsCgProfileContentPostTime)

Specifies a trigger condition for postpaid users in this charging profile, the time duration limit that, when exceeded, causes GGSN to collect upstream and downstream traffic byte counts and close and update the G-CDR for a particular PDP context.

### Validity Postpaid Timeout (cgprsCgProfileContentPostValTime)

Specifies the validity timeout for the postpaid users in this charging profile. By default, the time and volume quota for postpaid has no validity timeout. If it is configured, it applies to both time-based or volume-based quota.

### Postpaid Volume Count (cgprsCgProfileContentPostVolume)

Specifies a trigger condition for postpaid users in this charging profile, the maximum number of bytes that GGSN maintains across all containers for a particular PDP context before closing and updating the G-CDR.

### Charging Profile Rulebase ID (cgprsCgProfileContentRulebaseId)

Sets the rulebase ID for this charging profile. Rulebases contain the rules for defining categories of traffic, categories on which decisions, such as whether to allow or disallow traffic, and how to measure the traffic, are based. The GGSN maps Diameter Rulebase IDs to CSG billing plans. The rulebase value presented in a RADIUS Access Accept message overrides the default rulebase ID configured in the charging profile. A rulebase ID received in a CCA initial message from a DCCA server overrides the Rulebase ID received from the RADIUS server and the default rulebase ID configured in a charging profile.
