US Patent 11792628 Uplink data burst in a wireless communication network

A wireless communication system delivers a data service to a wireless User Equipment (UE). A network controller exchanges UE signaling with the wireless UE and transfers UE information to a Network Exposure Function (NEF). The NEF transfers network information that indicates Quality-of-Service (QoS) levels and cost levels for the UE to a user data system. The NEF receives user selections from the user data system that indicate a selected QoS level and a selected cost level. The NEF indicates the selected QoS level to the network controller. The NEF indicates the selected cost level to a Charging Function (CHF). The network controller directs network elements to transfer UE data for the UE using the selected QoS level. The network elements transfer the user data for the UE using the selected QoS level. The CHF generates charging data for the UE based on the selected cost level.
