Problems solved by technology

In 2G/2.5G operators have adopted the value-added service management platform to be responsible for charging the service/content provided by SP/CP. In the 3G era, this is still the way for each operator to provide value-added services. However, in the prior art Lack of billing management for value-added services/content provided by SP/CP, that is, lack of association with billing bills at the application/content layer. Value-added services at the application/content layer cannot be as

Embodiment 2

[0061] image 3 It is a flow chart of Embodiment 2 of the billing association method of the present invention, and this embodiment includes:

[0062] Step 301: The terminal sends a content request to a bearer layer network element, such as a GGSN, for initiating a SIP message to establish a bearer channel.

[0063] Step 302: GGSN sends the content request to the IMS domain of the service / session control layer.

[0064] Step 303: The first service / session control layer network element that receives the content request, such as P-CSCF, is responsible for generating a session charging identifier (ICID) at the service / session control layer, which is used to associate with relevant network elements in the IMS domain Generate bills. And insert the session charging identifier ICID into the ChargingVector header field of the SIP message.

[0065] Step 304: The SIP signaling carries the ICID and is transmitted in the IMS domain, and delivered to the application / content layer through...

Embodiment 3

[0084] Figure 5 It is a flow chart of Embodiment 3 of the charging association method of the present invention, and this embodiment includes:

[0085] Step 501: The terminal sends a content request to the bearer submodule, such as GGSN, for initiating a SIP message to establish a bearer channel.

[0086] Step 502: GGSN sends the content request to the IMS domain of the service / session control layer.

[0087] Step 503: The first service / session control layer network element that receives the content request, such as P-CSCF, is responsible for generating a session charging identifier (ICID) at the service / session control layer, which is used to associate with relevant network elements in the IMS domain Generate bills. And insert the session charging identifier ICID into the ChargingVector header field of the SIP message.

[0088] Step 504: The SIP signaling carries the ICID and is transmitted in the IMS domain, and is delivered to the application / content layer through the SI...

Embodiment 4

[0116] Figure 7 It is a flow chart of Embodiment 4 of the charging association method of the present invention, and this embodiment includes:

[0117] Step 701: The terminal sends a bearer establishment request to a bearer layer network element, such as a GGSN.

[0118] Step 702: The GGSN transmits the media stream by creating a PDP context, and generates a bearer charging identifier (GCID) for the bearer layer of the service for each PDF context. In versions after R5, after introducing the technology for distinguishing different service flows at the bearer layer, GCID can no longer be used to uniquely identify an application / content in the bearer layer. Since the GGSN supports the distinction of specific service flows, the use of multiple applications / contents can share a PDP context at the bearer level, without activating a new PDP context. In the enhanced bill eG-CDR of GGSN that supports FBC / PCC, there is a bill item called List of Service Data, which is specially used ...

Abstract

The invention discloses a charging correlating method and a device thereof. The charging correlating method of the invention comprises the steps of: generating a session charging identifier, generating a content charging identifier and generating a load charging identifier. According to the content charging identifier, the session charging identifier and the load charging identifier, a content charging bill, a session charging bill and a load charging bill are correlated. The charging correlation device comprises a session identification module used for generating the session charging identifier, a content identification module used for generating the content charging identifier, a load identification module used for loading the charging identifiers, a correlation module applied to correlating the content charging bill, the session charging bill and the load charging bill according to the content charging identifier, the session charging identifier and the load charging identifier. The embodiment of the invention can realize the correlation of the charging bills of all levels, thereby realizing accurate charging.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of mobile communication, in particular to a charging association method and device. Background technique [0002] At present, the third generation mobile communication technology (3 rd Generation, hereinafter referred to as 3G) has become the development direction of telecommunication networks. This technology combines wireless communication technology and Internet multimedia communication technology, and can handle various media forms such as images, audio and video. The 3G network adopts a horizontally layered service provision system, which is divided into: bearer layer, service / session control layer, and application / content layer from bottom to top. The services provided by different layers involve different network resources. Therefore, the services provided by different layers The network resources involved in the charging of different services are also different. For basic services that only rely o...
