SetOcsAnnouncementID schedules configurable announcements to the subscriber based on indicators in OCS answers

The feature enqueues OCS announcements for out-of-credit (4012 CCA result code), low balance (Low-Balance-Indicator AVP) and general use (OC-Play-Announcement-Id) including welcome announcements.

The feature runs on every credit check result and checks if the CCA meets certain criteria (i.e.presence of OC-Play-Announcement-Id AVP, low balance AVP or on 4012 result). If the CCA matches the criteria the feature schedules announcements based off of them. The feature also runs on each party request for a terminating call to determine whether the session has been established and so if a reauthorization request should be triggered.

Behaviour

Announcement IDs set in the OC-Play-Announcement-Id AVP are always played. Configured announcement IDs for out-of-credit (4012 CCA result code) or low balance (Low-Balance-Indicator AVP) are only played if no OC-Play-Announcement-Id AVPs were present.

Announcements for terminating calls

It is not possible to play announcements to the terminating subscriber after the initial credit check as the session has not yet been established. If the initial credit check requested announcements then a reauthorization request will be sent once the session is established. Any announcements in the response to this subsequent reauthorization request will be played. The reauthorization request can be delayed for a number of milliseconds using the ChargingReauthDelayMillis configuration field.

Mid call announcements to the terminating subscriber will be played immediately.

Low Balance Announcements

If the LowBalanceIndicator AVP is set in a successful CCA-I or CCA-U then a low balance announcement will be played (either configured or via the OC-Play-Announcement-Id-AVP) and a session state field is set to mark that a low balance announcement has been played. Subsequent credit checks will not trigger another low balance announcement unless the previous credit check response did not have the LowBalanceIndicator AVP set.

Out of Credit Announcements

If a credit check response contains a 4012 result code then:

  • For early originating sessions, the feature will schedule the configured early dialog announcement if an announcement was not supplied in the CCA and then end the session with the appropriate sip error response according to the CCA result code.

  • For early terminating and forwarding sessions, the feature will not schedule an announcement and will end the session with a 480 Temporarily Unavailable response.

  • For confirmed originating and terminating sessions, the feature will schedule the configured mid session announcement if an announcement was not supplied in the CCA and then end the session.

The Sip response error code for the SipPlayAnnouncement feature to use on endSession.

Set to true if session should end after announcement is played.

MidCallAnnouncementPlayedParty

Leg name indicating which party the announcement will be played to

MidCallEndSessionWithAnnouncement

boolean

Set to true if session should end after announcement is played.

UserEndSessionCause

The Sip response error code to use on endSession, if applicable.

LowBalanceAnnouncementPlayed

boolean

Set to true when a low balance announcement has been scheduled. Set to false when a CCA is received without a Low-Balance-Indicator AVP.

OcsAnnouncementPlayed

boolean

Set to true when OC-Play-Announcement-Id announcements have been scheduled. Set to false when a new CCA is received.

Configuration

SetOcsAnnouncementID uses two JSLEE configuration profile tables: LowBalanceAnnouncementConfigProfileTable and SetOutOfCreditAnnouncementIDConfigProfileTable.

Attribute Name Profile Table Type Description
EarlyDialogLowBalanceAnnouncementID

LowBalanceAnnouncementConfigProfileTable

int

The ID of the early dialog announcement to play, if any

MidSessionLowBalanceAnnouncementID

LowBalanceAnnouncementConfigProfileTable

int

The ID of the mid call announcement to play, if any

ChargingReauthDelayMillis

LowBalanceAnnouncementConfigProfileTable

long

When a terminating call is ACKed and the latest CCA indicates a low balance, a delayed credit check will be performed to postpone playing an announcement. The reauth will be delayed by the amount specified here (0 triggers an immediate reauth.) This allows time for the ACK to propagate through the network to ensure the played party is fully connected before triggering the announcement after receiving another CCA-U with low balance indicator.

OutOfCreditAnnouncementID

SetOutOfCreditAnnouncementIDConfigProfileTable

int

The ID of the early dialog announcement to play, if any

MidSessionOutOfCreditAnnouncementID

SetOutOfCreditAnnouncementIDConfigProfileTable

int

The ID of the mid call announcement to play, if any
