SLEE service that uses Sentinel Charge
The following sections present a SLEE-centric architectural overview of a SLEE service that uses Sentinel Charge. Sentinel Charge provides the Sentinel mediation layer for use by SLEE services (see the diagram below).
SBBs
The service consists of:
-
Custom front-end SBB, which:
-
receives events from the front-end network element
-
controls the session with the front-end network element.
-
-
Sentinel Charge SBB, which:
-
receives charging requests from the custom front-end SBB
-
hosts POJO features and mappers and has SLEE child relations to SBB features
-
encapsulates the Sentinel mediation layer, which:
-
provides charging methods such as SCUR and IEC
-
provides promotions.
-
-
runs feature execution scripts, features and mappers
-
-
One or more OCS Driver SBBs, which:
-
integrate Sentinel core (the front end) with a particular type of OCS
-
have a Diameter Ro interface to the mediation layer, and map Diameter Ro to and from the charging protocol used by the OCS
-
are shared by all services.
-

The resource adaptors and profiles used in Sentinel charge are the same as Sentinel services. |
