Abstract
A method, system and medium are provided for accounting for shared-network scenarios in a carrier-aggregation network using billing identifiers. A base station within the network establishes a wireless-telecommunications link with a mobile station associated with a first provider within the network. The base station communicates a billing identifier associated with the base station to the first provider. The billing identifier indicates a type of shared-network scenario associated with the base station. The billing identifier is used by the provider to determine billing information for the mobile station.
