Abstract
A method includes determining a first upload usage value and a first download usage value for a user account for a time interval from cell counter data retrieved from a first network device. The method includes determining a second download usage value for the user account for the time interval based on session information from a second network device. The method includes adding an upload usage value based on the first upload usage value and the second upload usage value to a cumulative upload usage value for the user account and adding a download usage value based on the first download usage value and the second download usage value to a cumulative download usage value for the user account. The method also includes sending the cumulative upload usage value and the cumulative download usage value to a billing system.
