Embodiment Construction

[0036] Further description will be made below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0037] The invention provides a method for realizing switching from Wimax online charging to offline charging. According to the method of the present invention, when the terminal is switched, the new ASN initiates a charging request to the charging server, carrying a prepayment capability indication, and the charging server sends a charging termination message to the original ASN, and the charging of the original ASN is terminated, and a user call is generated. single data (UDR) to the billing server.

[0038] Figure 5 It is a flow chart of the implementation method of Pull mode switch in the present invention, that is, the switch request is initiated by the new ASN. When the terminal is switched, after re-authorization authentication, the new ASN first initiates a billing request to the billing server, which contains the prepaid capability indication of the new AS...

Abstract

The invention provides a method for switching online charging to offline charging. A terminal is switched to a new access service gateway from an original access service gateway. The method comprises the following steps: the new access service gateway sends an access request message to a charging server; the charging server receives the access request message from the new access service gateway and judges whether the new access service gateway supports an online charging function, if the new access service gateway does not support the online charging function, the charging server sends a charging termination message to the original access service gateway; the original access service gateway receives the charging termination message and terminates the charging; and the charging server starts the offline charging process. By adopting the method, no abnormal call interruption occurs when the terminal is switched from the online charging gateway to a gateway which does not support the online charging.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the field of communication, and more particularly relates to a method for realizing Wimax (Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access) online charging switching to offline charging. Background technique [0002] In the current Wimax access network, accounting includes two methods: online accounting (online accounting) and offline accounting (offline accounting). Online charging corresponds to prepaid (prepaid) charging, that is, before users start services, they apply for a part of resources in advance, deduct a certain fee, and deduct fees in real time as the service progresses. Offline charging corresponds to postpaid (postpaid) charging, that is, service settlement is performed after the user's service ends. [0003] Wimax network architecture model can refer to figure 1 . Among them, the mobile station / fixed station is equivalent to the terminal mentioned in this article; the ASN is the access service networ...
