ETSI ES 202 504-6 V1.1.1 (2008-05) - Open Service Access (OSA); Parlay X Web Services; Part 6: Payment (Parlay X 3)
Overview
SIST ES 202 504-6 V1.1.1:2008 defines the Payment Web Service component of the Parlay X 3 specification within the Open Service Access (OSA) framework. OSA standards, developed collaboratively by ETSI, The Parlay Group, and 3GPP, enable application developers to interact with telecom network functionality through open, standardized APIs. This part ensures interoperability and streamlined service integration for payment operations, vital for content monetization and charging in modern telecommunication environments.
Part 6 of the Parlay X Web Services suite focuses on the specification of payment-related services, interfaces, data types, fault handling, and policies, facilitating charging, refunding, and reservation operations for both prepaid and postpaid scenarios.
Key Topics
Standardized Payment APIs
Consistent, open interfaces allow application providers to access payment and charging functions, supporting operator and developer ecosystem growth.Charging and Refunding Operations
Methods cover single or split billing by currency amount or usage volume, as well as associated refund procedures.Payment Reservation
Enables applications to reserve amounts or volumes for future use, supporting flexible billing strategies for variable-length or unpredictable services.Sequence Diagrams and Data Definitions
Clear definitions of message exchanges and data structures ensure reliable integration and predictable behaviors across platforms.Fault and Policy Handling
Well-defined exceptions for service and policy errors facilitate robust application design and streamlined error management.Compliance with International Standards
Aligns with 3GPP and ISO codes (such as ISO 4217 currencies), fostering global compatibility.
Applications
The Parlay X Payment Web Service is applicable across a wide range of scenarios in telecommunications and value-added services:
Content Charging
Operators and service providers can efficiently monetize digital content, such as music, games, or multimedia streaming, by integrating payment APIs for seamless end-user billing.Subscription and Usage-Based Billing
The standard supports both flat-rate and metered charging schemes, suitable for subscriptions, pay-per-use services, and one-off downloads.Multi-Party Billing
Split charging functionalities enable creative revenue-sharing models in collaborative or group-based services (e.g., multiplayer gaming, conference calls).Prepaid and Postpaid Services
Distinct operations for reservations and incremental charging allow adaptation to both prepaid balance management and postpaid settlements.Refund Management
Businesses can automate refunds for various scenarios, including promotions, service interruptions, or user participation incentives, improving customer satisfaction.Easy Service Integration
Web services based on standardized WSDL definitions accelerate the integration of payment functions into operator portals, partner applications, and enterprise systems.

4 Detailed service description
A vast amount of content, both information and entertainment, will be made available to subscribers. To support a
business model that enables operators to offer integrated billing, a payment API is crucial. Open and inter-operable
"payment APIs" are the key to market growth and investment protection. The Payment Web Service supports payments
for any content in an open, Web-like environment.
The Payment Web Service described in the present document supports payment reservation, pre-paid payments, and
post-paid payments. It supports charging of both volume and currency amounts, a conversion function and a settlement
function in case of a financially resolved dispute.
Note that certain parameters are negotiated as part of a service level agreement. For example the taxation procedures
and parameters.
An example of an application scenario could be a multimedia service. Assume a subscriber is interested in receiving a
stream of, say, a soccer match. The subscriber selects a match and establishes a trusted relation with the provider.
Again, the provider obtains the MSISDN and other information from the subscriber. The subscriber wants to know what
the service will cost and the provider interacts with the operators rating engine (getAmount) taking into account the
subscriber's subscription, time of day, etc. The value returned is a ChargingInformation amount and is printed on the
page that is displayed at the MS. The subscriber then decides to stream the match to his MS. Subsequently, the provider
will reserve the appropriate amount with the operator (reserveAmount) to ensure that the subscriber can fulfil his
payment obligations. The match starts and the provider periodically charges against the reservation
(chargeReservation). The match ends in a draw and is extended with a 'sudden death' phase. The subscriber continues
listening, so the existing reservation is enlarged (reserveAdditionalAmount). Suddenly, one of the teams scores a goal,
so the match abruptly ends, leaving part of the reserved amount unused. The provider now releases the reservation
(releaseReservation), and the remaining amount is available for future use by the subscriber.
Now we can extend this scenario by having the subscriber participate in a game of chance in which the provider refunds
a percentage of the usage costs (refundAmount) based on the ranking of a particular team in this tournament. For
example, the subscriber gambling on the team that wins the tournament receives a full refund, while for gambling on the
team that finishes in second place, the refund is 50 %, etc.

6 Sequence diagrams
6.1 Charge for content
Assume a subscriber is interested in downloading a ring tone to his device. The subscriber selects a ring tone and
establishes a trusted relation with the ring tone provider. Essentially, the ring tone provider obtains the address
(MSISDN) and other information from the subscriber. The ring tone may be downloaded to the device using SMS. As
soon as the download succeeds, the provider of the ring tone will charge the subscriber (chargeAmount).

4 Detailed service description
A vast amount of content, both information and entertainment, will be made available to subscribers. To support a
business model that enables operators to offer integrated billing, a payment API is crucial. Open and inter-operable
"payment APIs" are the key to market growth and investment protection. The Payment Web Service supports payments
for any content in an open, Web-like environment.
The Payment Web Service described in the present document supports payment reservation, pre-paid payments, and
post-paid payments. It supports charging of both volume and currency amounts, a conversion function and a settlement
function in case of a financially resolved dispute.
Note that certain parameters are negotiated as part of a service level agreement. For example the taxation procedures
and parameters.
An example of an application scenario could be a multimedia service. Assume a subscriber is interested in receiving a
stream of, say, a soccer match. The subscriber selects a match and establishes a trusted relation with the provider.
Again, the provider obtains the MSISDN and other information from the subscriber. The subscriber wants to know what
the service will cost and the provider interacts with the operators rating engine (getAmount) taking into account the
subscriber's subscription, time of day, etc. The value returned is a ChargingInformation amount and is printed on the
page that is displayed at the MS. The subscriber then decides to stream the match to his MS. Subsequently, the provider
will reserve the appropriate amount with the operator (reserveAmount) to ensure that the subscriber can fulfil his
payment obligations. The match starts and the provider periodically charges against the reservation
(chargeReservation). The match ends in a draw and is extended with a 'sudden death' phase. The subscriber continues
listening, so the existing reservation is enlarged (reserveAdditionalAmount). Suddenly, one of the teams scores a goal,
so the match abruptly ends, leaving part of the reserved amount unused. The provider now releases the reservation
(releaseReservation), and the remaining amount is available for future use by the subscriber.
Now we can extend this scenario by having the subscriber participate in a game of chance in which the provider refunds
a percentage of the usage costs (refundAmount) based on the ranking of a particular team in this tournament. For
example, the subscriber gambling on the team that wins the tournament receives a full refund, while for gambling on the
team that finishes in second place, the refund is 50 %, etc.

6 Sequence diagrams
6.1 Charge for content
Assume a subscriber is interested in downloading a ring tone to his device. The subscriber selects a ring tone and
establishes a trusted relation with the ring tone provider. Essentially, the ring tone provider obtains the address
(MSISDN) and other information from the subscriber. The ring tone may be downloaded to the device using SMS. As
soon as the download succeeds, the provider of the ring tone will charge the subscriber (chargeAmount).
