Abstract
The present invention faces the issue of usage monitoring and control of network resources, between a control server and any reporting device. The present invention provides for methods and apparatuses, which significantly reduce the signalling load between the control server and the reporting device, by allowing the control server to submit towards any reporting device, for each identified monitoring key, the identified monitoring key, its monitoring quota and one or more related monitoring keys to be reported together with the identified monitoring key; to receive at the control server, from any reporting device, usage information for at least one monitoring key, whose monitoring quota has been exhausted, and usage information for the related monitoring keys previously submitted with the at least one monitoring key; and to update at the control server, for each service associated with any monitoring key for which usage information has been received, a corresponding service quota by using the received usage information.
