  • aOCBeforeAnswer – list of parameters sent only before an answer event was detected. It contains the following parameters:
    • aOCInitial - a set of GSM Charge Advice Information elements, as defined in GSM 02.24 and these CAI elements are sent by the gsmSSF to the MS when an ANSWER is received and a tariff switch has not yet occurred.
      • e1, e2, e3, e4, e5, e6, e7
    • aOCSubsequent – a list containing the following information:
      • cAI-GSM0224 - a set of GSM Charge Advice Information elements, as defined in GSM 02.24 and these CAI elements are sent by the gsmSSF to the MS when an ANSWER is detected and a tariff switch occurs.
        • e1, e2, e3, e4, e5, e6, e7
      • tariffSwitchInterval – indicates to the gsmSSF the time duration until the next tariff switch.
  • aOCAfterAnswer – list of parameters sent only after an answer event was detected. It contains the following parameters:
    • cAI-GSM0224 - a set of GSM Charge Advice Information elements, as defined in GSM 02.24 and these CAI elements are sent by the gsmSSF to the MS when an ANSWER is detected and a tariff switch has occurred previously or when an Answer has been previously detected and a tariff switch occurs.
      • e1, e2, e3, e4, e5, e6, e7
    • tariffSwitchInterval – indicates to the gsmSSF the time duration until the next tariff switch.
