Abstract—Actually in vehicular ad hoc networks, no archi- tecture is deployed for high availability of charging and billing functions, unlike traditional mobile and fix networks; thus, the VANET service providers need to control their rendered services when the VANET user move to an external domain(3GPP, VANET or infrastructure-less networks).In this paper, we present a high level solution in term of architecture and interfaces in order to make charging and billing of services available even out of vehicular domain.
 
Index Terms—Vanet, charging, billing, context awareness, charging and billing system, roaming, diameter
