Embodiment 1

[0039] Example 1: CTF adopts the method of reporting all USUs to OCS

[0040] It is allowed to configure the USU reporting method used by the CTF on the foreground network element. In this embodiment, it is configured as the full reporting method, or it can be configured as the incremental reporting method. The specific implementation is the same as image 3 similar.

[0041] Such as image 3 shown, including the following steps:

[0042] Steps 301-304: During the session request process, the CTF sends a credit control initial request CCR[Initial] message carrying an RSU to the OCS, and the OCS returns a credit control response CCA message carrying GSU information to the CTF after performing charging control.

[0043] Steps 305-309: During session sending, CTF sends credit control update request CCR[Update] message carrying USU to OCS, and OCS returns credit control response CCA message carrying GSU information to CTF after performing charging control.

[0044] Among them, in...

Embodiment 2

[0049] Embodiment 2: CTF uses incremental reporting and full reporting to report USU to OCS

[0050] It is allowed to configure which USU reporting method the CTF adopts on the foreground network element. In this embodiment, the incremental reporting and full reporting methods are configured.

[0051] Steps 401-404: During the session request process, the CTF sends a credit control initial request CCR[Initial] message carrying an RSU to the OCS, and the OCS returns a credit control response CCA message carrying GSU information to the CTF after performing charging control.

[0052] Steps 405-409: During the session sending process, the CTF sends a credit control update request CCR[Update] message carrying the USU to the OCS. After the OCS performs corresponding charging control, it returns a credit control response CCA message to the CTF, which carries the GSU information.

[0053] Wherein, in step 406, the CCR[Update] message contains the USU and the corresponding USU reportin...

Abstract

The invention provides a method for controlling online charging. The method comprises the following steps that: in a session process, a credit control request message which carries a used service unit is sent to an online charging system by charging trigger function, wherein the credit control request message also carries report mode information corresponding to the used service unit; and after receiving the credit control request message, the online charging system performs corresponding charging control processing on the used service unit according to the report mode information corresponding to the used service unit. The invention also provides a system for controlling the online charging. The method and the system of the invention can flexibly report the used service unit and meet flexible charging requirements of a service operator.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the communication field, in particular to an online charging control method and system. Background technique [0002] In the current 3GPP wireless communication standard, the charging trigger function (Charging Trigger Function, CTF) is integrated in the front-end network element, and the connection between the CTF and the online charging system (Online Charging System, OCS) is through the Ro interface, and the Ro interface The online charging messages transmitted on the Internet following the Diameter protocol include a credit control request message (Credit Control Request, CCR) and a credit control response message (Credit Control Answer, CCA). [0003] During a session, the exchange of charging messages between CTF and OCS is as follows: figure 1 shown. [0004] Steps 101-104: During the session request process, the CTF sends a credit control initial request CCR[Initial] message carrying reserved service units (Re...
