Cost Level Tables
The calculation of the costs can be based on „pulses“
or „duration“. The Billing principle [8403] determines
whether the Pulse Cost Level Tables or the Duration
Cost Level Tables will be used for the calculation.
Each table consists of 16 lines (Relative Cost Level 0–
15). The value of the Call Cost Profile points at the
table, the value of the Cost Time Scheme Table
(dependent on day type and time) points at the line
(Relative Cost Level) of the Cost Level Table.
Summary:
• The Cost Time Scheme tells when a certain Re-
lative Cost Level applies.
• The Cost Level Table contains 16 Relative Cost
Levels that inform on the initial cost and the du-
ration-dependent cost.
Pulse Cost Level Table
The Pulse Cost Level Table defines initial pulses and
pulse frequency.
Duration Cost Level Table
The Duration Cost Level Table defines initial cost and
cost per second.
Example for a Duration Cost Level Table
Below, you may see the Duration Cost Level Table No.
2 for the carrier „Ferrari“. This carrier uses the billing
principle „duration“ [8403]. In this table, three Relative
Cost Levels (0–2) are defined.
The table shows the Cost Time Scheme for Destination Number Group 111 (United States). It may be seen tha
t
different Relative Cost Levels apply to day type and time of the day.
