Embodiment 1
[0066] The PCC rule is online charging, and the PCRF entity sends a request message to the OCS. When the UE initiates a certain service, after generating the PCC rule, it is judged whether the PCC rule is online charging, and if so, when the PCRF entity is triggered by an external or internal credit quota application, the PCRF entity sends the message to the OCS through the first interface A request message for credit quota application, OCS returns a response message to the PCRF entity after receiving the request message (delivering the usage quota); during the business process, the PCRF entity receives an external or internal credit quota application trigger again, and sends an application credit request message to OCS Quota request message, and report the billing-related information such as actual usage to OCS, and receive the response message from OCS; when the service ends, the PCRF entity sends a request message to OCS (report the current usage and bring all the informatio...
Embodiment 2
[0079] The PCC rule is offline charging, and the PCRF entity sends a message to OFCS. The UE initiates a certain service and after generating the PCC rule, judges whether the current charging rule is offline charging. If the charging reporting trigger condition is met during the service process, the PCRF entity will receive an internal or external reporting trigger. Send a message to the OFCS through the second interface (report charging-related information such as current usage), and receive a response from the OFCS. Billing reporting trigger conditions may include: traffic threshold, time threshold, hour, rate change, update (location update, access type update, time zone update, relevant IP-CAN session modification, etc.), service end, etc. The above billing process specifically includes the following steps:
[0080] Step 501: UE initiates a certain service, and after PCC rules are generated, it determines that the current service is offline charging, and then initiates an...
Embodiment 3
[0088] For online charging, the OCS actively sends a notification to the PCRF entity (requiring usage report, re-authentication, etc.), and the PCRF entity sends a response message to the OCS (according to the request in the notification message, report accordingly). When the UE initiates a service and the PCC rule is generated, if the PCC rule is online charging, when the PCRF entity is triggered by an external or internal credit quota application, the PCRF entity actively sends an application for credit quota to the OCS through the first interface After receiving the request message, the OCS returns a response message to the PCRF entity (delivering the usage quota); during the business process, the OCS actively sends a notification message to the PCRF entity, requesting to report the usage amount or re-authenticate, and the PCRF entity receives After the message is notified, corresponding processing is performed, and a response message is sent to the PCRF entity to inform the...
