Abstract

The invention discloses a node (120) for use in a wireless access communications system (100) which is arranged to transmit information to and receive information from a PCRF (110), a Policy and Charging Rules Function, in the system. The information to and from the PCRF (110) is transmitted over a Gx interface, and the node is also arranged to count the amount of a defined service in the system which is used by a user, a UE (130) in the system during a defined period of time and to take a defined course of action when said amount of the defined service reaches a threshold value. The node (120) is arranged to be able to reset said count at a defined point in time, a “reset point”, and the information which the node it is arranged to receive from the PCRF (110) comprises information on said reset point.
