Abstract
The present application is at least directed to an MM gateway apparatus. The apparatus includes a non-transitory memory having instructions stored thereon for service layer online charging of a service layer event. The apparatus also includes a processor operably coupled to the non-transitory memory configured to execute a set of instructions. One of the instructions includes sending, to a service layer charging function of an MM server, a service layer rating request message for the service layer online charging of the service layer event detected by the MM gateway. The service layer event is triggered by an application registered to the MM gateway and that performs a read or write operation on a resource of the MM gateway. Another one of the instructions includes receiving, from the service layer charging function of the MM server, a rating response including the calculated amount of service units required for the MM gateway to process the service layer event. The resource is a uniquely addressable element having a Universal Resource Identifier (URI) and is a representation that can be manipulated via RESTful Create, Retrieve, Update, and Delete requests.
