Off-line accounting system and method

Abstract

The invention discloses a off line charging system and a method thereof; the method includes the following contents that: a grouped data network is additionally provided with a content charging gateway; a grouped data service node analyzes an off line charging user and routes messages of the off line charging user to the content charging gateway; the content charging gateway analyzes the message of the off line charging user and charges analyzed service types according to corresponding charging rules, and the acquired charging information is reported to a certification authorization charging server; the certification authorization charging server generates the off line charging bill according to the information reported by the content charging gateway. The invention adopting the method has the advantages of easily realizing the difference of the non-content charging and the content charging messages and realizing the off line charging of the content charging message.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a billing system and method in the field of data communication, and more specifically, relates to an off-line billing system and method suitable for a CDMA communication system. Background technique [0002] With the construction of the new generation wireless network of operators, with high-speed wireless access, it can also provide rich data services for wireless access users. With the development of rich services, in order to prevent operators from becoming simple bearer channels Providers and operators need to control and manage the mobile communication value chain, and content billing has become a new demand for billing by operators. [0003] Fig. 1 is the network structural diagram of CDMA2000 in the prior art, comprises packet data service node PDSN (Packet Data Service Node), authentication authorization accounting server AAAS (Authentication, Authorization, and Accounting Server), online charging server OCS (On...

Problems solved by technology

[0004] The currently generally implemented content billing method is limited to supporting services based on WAP (Wireless Application Protocol, wireless application protocol), and cannot support other types of services, such as HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol, hypertext transfer protocol), FTP (File Transfer Protocol, File Transfer Protocol), SMTP (Simple Mail Transport Protocol, Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) / POP3 (Post Office Protocol 3, Post Office Protocol) / IMAP (Interactive Mail Access Protocol, Interactive Mail Access Protocol), based on RTP (Real-Time Transport Protocol, Real-time Transport Protocol) / RTSP (Real Time Stream Protocol, real-time streaming protocol) / RTCP (Real-time Transport Control Protocol, real-time transport control protocol) and other services for content billing

[0005] In order to distinguish between content-based charging and non-content-based charging, an analysis platform needs to be introduced between access gateways to sort packets so as to achieve the purpose of separate charging for content-based charging packets and non-content-based charging. method, which makes the function of the analysis platform complex and lacks flexibility

Because the analysis platform needs to configure complex filtering rules to analyze the message, the implementation of the content billing function in the existing mobile communication system is too complicated

[0006] At the same time, in the prior art, there is no offline charging system and method for content charging in the CDMA2000 system, and there is no easy way to distinguish non-content charging Fees and Content Billing Issues
