Abstract
According to techniques disclosed herein, a Visited Communication Network (VCN) () selectively reports usage information back to a Home Communication Network (HCN) () for user traffic that is offloaded at the VCN () to a Data Network (DN) () rather than routed back to the HCN (). Among the various advantages, the reporting supports charging operations in the HCN () regarding the offloaded traffic. Further advantages include the application of policy control and service-authorization control jointly between the VCN () and the HCN ().
