Selon un aspect de la présente invention, un procédé par lequel une station de base (BS) traite la facturation dans un système de communication sans fil prenant en charge une pluralité de RAT : vérifie, lorsqu'un paquet de données d'utilisateur est transmis et reçu, une RAT utilisée pour la transmission du paquet de données d'utilisateur transmis et reçu de façon à générer une information de support de facturation pour prendre en charge la facturation pour chaque RAT ; et permet aux informations de prise en charge de facturation d'être incluses dans un en-tête d'un paquet de données de liaison montante de façon à les transmettre à un noeud de fonction de génération d'informations de facturation.
