Abstract

Embodiments herein provide a method and system of reporting a charging information for a Device-to-Device (D2D) communication established using a wireless network. The method includes recording by a first electronic device the charging information associated with a D2D communication session. The D2D communication session is established between the first electronic device and a second electronic device. Further, the method includes determining by the first electronic device whether the charging information meets charging criteria during the D2D communication session. The charging criteria are generated by a network node in a secure environment of the first electronic device. Further, the method includes reporting the charging information to the network node in the wireless network in response to determining that the charging information meets the charging criteria.

Claims (9)

1. A method for reporting information by a first terminal in a communication system, the method comprising:

performing a device to device (D2D) communication with at least one second terminal while the first terminal is out of coverage of a network;

recording usage information according to the communication while the first terminal is out of the coverage of the network;

generating at least one usage information report from the recorded usage information based on a predetermined period while the first terminal is out of the coverage of the network;

identifying whether the first terminal returns to the coverage of the network; and

transmitting the generated at least one usage information report, in case that the first terminal returns to the coverage of the network.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the at least one usage information report includes a duration of the communication between the first terminal and at least one second terminal in a configured period.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the at least one usage information report includes an amount of data transmitted and received in a configured period.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the at least one usage information report is stored in a secure environment.
