The present disclosure generally relates to systems, methods, and computer-readable media for managing the generation and processing of charging data records (CDRs) in a telecommunication environment (e.g., a fourth generation (4G) a fifth generation (5G), or future generation mobile network). The systems described herein involve predicting lengths of CDRs prior to encoding and providing the CDRs to a charging gateway function to ensure that the CDRs do not exceed a maximum allowable length that the charging gateway function is capable of processing while also reducing the total number of CDR packages that are encoded and transmitted. Indeed, the systems described herein can predict the length of the CDRs incrementally as charging containers are added, thus limiting the number of CDRs that are generated and processed.

Generating and processing charging data records based on predicted record length

The present disclosure relates to systems, methods, and computer-readable media for managing transmission of retries between computing nodes in a core network environment. For example, systems described herein involve collecting transmission data including timing and failure data for use in generating a retry policy that includes rules and instructions that govern transmission of retries between computing nodes. Once generated, the retry policy may be applied to message packages by selectively transmitting message retries based on specific timing delays that are determined from the collected transmission information. This the generation and implementation of the retry policy may significantly reduce a quantity of retry messages transmitted by computing nodes within a core network architecture, thereby improving network conditions in a variety of ways.

Determining and implementing adaptive retries in core network nodes

A first charging data record (CDR) generating node can receive charging server information and available CDR storage information from a second CDR generating node. The first CDR generating node can detect that the charging server is unavailable to receive CDRs from the first CDR generating node. The first CDR generating node can also determine that a CDR storage area corresponding to the first CDR generating node should not be used to store additional CDRs. The first CDR generating node can also select the second CDR generating node for storing the additional CDRs that are generated by the first CDR generating node. The second CDR generating node can be selected based at least in part on the charging server information and the available CDR storage information. The first CDR generating node can cause at least one CDR to be sent to the second CDR generating node.
