Abstract
Flexible charging and QoS provisioning are two of the main motivations behind the IP multimedia subsystem (IMS), defined by 3GPP. We have previously proposed a call differentiation solution for 3G networks. This solution defines different grades of calls with different QoS profiles, and uses a preemptive approach to give priority to more important calls over others. This idea of multi-grade services enables the users to choose the appropriate grade of call for each of their sessions, depending on the priorities/ guarantees they require. A suitable charging model is needed for the effective charging and billing of such services. In this paper, we focus on the charging aspects of multi-grade IMS services. The IMS online and offline charging mechanisms are leveraged and extended to tackle this issue. Furthermore, a proof-of-concept prototype, showcasing different multi-grade service charging scenarios, is presented.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
