Method and system for realizing wide band post-paid service

Abstract

The method includes following steps: (1) when after payment user opens an account, the method sets up maximal amount user can use and credit rating; (2) when user logs on network, authentication server carries out authentication for the user, and calculates usable length of time allowed logging on network based on the maximal amount as well as sends the said length of time and authorization message to the access server; (3) based on the authorization message, the access server turns on connection of user route, and sets up usable length of time allowed logging on network, at same time sends charging request to AAA server; (4) AAA server sends updated message of user state to monitoring server, the monitoring server sets up user's state, and monitors user's usable length of time allowed logging on. Thus, the invention reaches purpose of taking care of benefit of operation manager.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the field of data communication, and more specifically, to a method and system for realizing a broadband postpaid service. Background technique [0002] In the current field of data communication, user authentication and billing are implemented using the standard Radius protocol and its extended protocol. The networking method is shown in Figure 1. FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of a specific networking mode when users use broadband to surf the Internet in the prior art. [0003] As shown in FIG. 1 , the implementation of charging in the prior art is as follows: the access server and the AAA server are connected together through an Ethernet network, and the user's account opening information and authorization information are saved on the AAA server. The access server and the AAA server jointly support the standard or extended Radius protocol, and the Radius protocol can be used for communication between the two. When a...

Problems solved by technology

The disadvantage of this technology is: after the user's balance is used, even if the user is doing important work, the user's network connection will be disconnected immediately without relevant prompt messages, causing work loss to the user

[0011] However, this method has the following disadvantages: First, because the user pays after using the user first, the AAA server cannot accurately calculate the available online time of the post-paid user based on the balance when the user is authenticated, and the access server cannot accurately control the usage of the post-paid user. The amount of network resources causes users to owe fees and damages the interests of operators; secondly, it limits the diversity of broadband services and cannot meet the requirements of users in different industries, which is not conducive to the development of broadband services
