Abstract
Systems and methods for generating charging data records for commercial group-based messages broadcast by a telecommunications network to a group of subscribers are provided. In one aspect, a network element of a telecommunications network is configured to identify individual user devices that successfully received and processed a message that was broadcast over the telecommunications network to a target group of user devices. The identification of the particular devices in the target group of devices that successfully received and processed the broadcast message is used for generating sender based charging or sender-plus-receiver based charging data records for the subscribers of the telecommunication network.
