[0036] When the PLMN gateway GGSN forwards the packet data protocol (Packet Data Protocol, PDP) activation request message from the roaming serving GPRS support node (ServingGSN, SGSN) to the home GGSN, only the destination address of the activation message is modified, so that the roaming SGSN There may be no routing area identity (Routing Area Identity, RAI) information element (protocol optional information element) in the PDP activation request message, so the home GGSN may not obtain the roaming information of the user. The first embodiment provided by the present invention is a charging method for roaming between PLMNs, such as figure 1 As shown, the method includes the following steps:

[0037] Step 11, receiving the PDP activation request message sent by the user terminal UE;

[0038]Step 12, when the PDP activation request message does not carry the RAI information element, send the PDP activation request message carrying the visited public land mobile network ident...

[0094] The eighth embodiment provided by the present invention is a gateway office GGSN, such as Figure 8 As shown, it includes: a receiving unit 801, a first sending unit 802:

[0095] The receiving unit 801 is configured to receive a PDP activation request message sent by the user terminal UE;

[0096] The first sending unit 802 is configured to send the PDP activation request message carrying the VPLMN ID information of the SGSN to the home GGSN when the PDP activation request message does not carry the RAI information element.

[0097] In addition, the gateway office GGSN may also include:

[0098] The search unit 803 is configured to search for the VPLMN ID information of the SGSN according to the correspondence between the IP address of the SGSN and the VPLMN ID when the RAI information element is not carried in the PDP activation request message.

[0099] In addition, the gateway office GGSN may also include:

[0105] The ninth embodiment provided by the present invention is a home GGSN, such as Figure 9 As mentioned above, it includes a receiving unit 901 and a first writing unit 902:

[0106] The receiving unit 901 is configured to receive the PDP activation request message sent by the user terminal forwarded by the gateway office GGSN;

[0107] The first writing unit 902 is configured to search for the information of the VPLMN ID according to the correspondence between the IP address of the SGSN and the VPLMN ID when the RAI information element is not carried in the PDP activation request message, and write the VPLMN ID information of the SGSN Fill in bills or prepaid messages for billing.

[0108] In addition, in the above embodiment, the home GGSN may also include:

[0109] The saving unit 903 is configured to save the corresponding relationship between the IP address of the SGSN and the VPLMN ID.

[0110] In addition, in the above embodiment, the home GGSN may also include:...

Abstract

The invention discloses a roam charging method between PLMN, relating to a wireless communication field, comprising: receiving PDP activation request information of a grouping data protocol transmitted by a user terminal; transmitting the PDP activation request information carried with VPLMN ID information of SGSN to a belonging place GGSN, when the PDP activation request information is not carried with an RAI cell, for filling the VPLMN ID information of SGSN into a call ticket or a prepaying information for the belonging place GGSN for charging. Therefore, the belonging place GGSN in roaming between the mobile grouping PLMN knows about information of the roaming place, and establishes agile charging standard. In addition, the embodiment of the invention also discloses a GGSN device and a roam charging system between PLMN.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of wireless communication, in particular to a roaming charging technology. Background technique [0002] With the emergence of new mobile value-added services and applications, mobile value-added services other than voice services are used by more and more mobile phone users. In recent years, the growth rate of data services is also much higher than that of voice services, and there is a lot of room for tapping potential in the data service market. In the face of rich mobile data value-added services and the diversity of data users' online behaviors, the traditional time-based billing method for voice services can no longer meet the needs of mobile data networks. The 3G packet domain must not only be able to analyze the online duration, data traffic, and content information of data users, but also be able to monitor user account information in real time, so as to achieve no-delay, accurate real-time billing...
