Configuring Zero Usage Report Suppression

Use the following configuration to enable the zero usage report suppression feature.

config 
   profile charging ChargingProfile_name 
      offline zero-usage [ drop { cdr | uuc } | measurement { duration | volume } | trigger { external | final | internal } ] 
      end 

NOTES:

  • offline zero-usage : The SMF suppresses the offline URR with zero volume and duration. By default, the zero usage drop configuration is disabled on SMF.

  • drop { cdr | uuc } : The SMF suppresses the CDR or UUC with zero usage. If there are mutiple reports, then the SMF drops only the reports with zero usage. Note that there is no impact on the online reporting.

    If the drop command is not configured, the SMF stops sending UUC for the offline usage report.

  • measurement { duration | volume } : The SMF specifies the measurement method of the network usage for suppression. The measurement method is based on volume and duration.

    If the measurement command is not configured, the SMF suppresses the records with both zero volume and zero duration, or the records with zero volume or zero duration depending on the configuration.

  • trigger { external | final | internal } : Specifies the list of triggers to be suppressed.

    • external : The SMF suppresses the usage reports that are generated due to external triggers such as QoS Change, RAT change, User Location change, and PLMN Change.

    • final : The SMF suppresses the usage reports that are generated at the end of a context.

    • internal : The SMF suppresses the usage reports that are generated due to internal triggers such as volume limit, time limit, and tariff change.
