I would recommend you read over the RADIUS accounting RFC (RFC 2139).

There are no time stamps in RADIUS accounting messages.  Accounting messages
may include a Acct-Delay-Time attribute, if the message was delayed on the
NAS.  Accounting Stop messages include Acct-Session-Time, which gives the 
number of seconds the user received service.  If you are trying to determine
how long a user was connected (for billing purposes) then you should look
at Acct-Session-Time.  If you are trying to determine when a user connected
and disconnected, then you need to check when the RADIUS accounting messages
were received and if there was an Acct-Delay-Time in the message.
