248 The Subscriber Interface
The AAA Structure
The HSG’s Authentication, Authorization, and Accounting (AAA) module enables
the solution provider to provision, track, and bill new or returning subscribers. This
includes:
z Allowing the solution provider (for example, a hotel) to bill its guests for the
high speed network services it provides, track usage on the network, and
deny service to those guests who have not paid.
z Allowing the solution provider to bill subscribers for services rendered,
either directly on their hotel bill (in the hotel scenario), via a mailed invoice,
or directly to the subscriber’s credit card account.
The following illustration shows the functional relationship between the HSG’s
internal modules and the external support systems.
