Embodiment 1

[0053] figure 2 It is an interactive flowchart of a method for PPC notifying a PPS terminal of the current serving base station type and / or the terminal's current user type according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention, as shown in figure 2 As shown, including the following steps S202 to S206:

[0054] Step S202: The PPC sends an access request message (AAA message) to the PPS.

[0055] During the initial network access process of the terminal, the PPC needs to send the above-mentioned access request message to the PPS. The message carries the prepaid function supported by the PPC and is used to negotiate the prepaid capability method with the PPS, and requires the PPS to be the terminal (end user) Allocate an initial quota (Quota); at this time, the message also carries the serving base station type of the terminal obtained by the PPC, and / or the current user type of the terminal obtained by the PPC.

[0056] After the terminal is connected to the network, the PPC ca...

Embodiment 2

[0089] image 3 It is an interactive flow chart of the PPA notifying the PPS terminal user of the current serving base station type and / or the current user type of the terminal user according to Embodiment 2 of the present invention, such as image 3As shown, when the functions of the anchor authenticator and the anchor data channel are located in different access gateways, the PPA is responsible for monitoring the user's service usage according to the quota, and transfers the relevant information to the PPS through the PPC, including Steps S302 to S310 as follows:

[0090] Step S302: PPA sends a prepayment request message to PPC.

[0091] As described in step S202, there are various events that can trigger the PPC to send an access request message to the PPS. In this step, the same event can also trigger the PPA to send a prepaid request (Prepaid Request) message to the PPC.

[0092] For example, when PPA discovers that the quota allocated by PPS for the user is about to r...

Embodiment 3

[0103] Figure 4 It is an interaction flowchart of a method for notifying PPC of the type of the base station and / or the user type of the terminal by the home base station / base station (serving base station serving as the terminal) according to Embodiment 3 of the present invention, as shown in Figure 4 As shown, the initial network access process of the terminal through the home base station / base station (serving base station) includes the following steps S402 to S420:

[0104] Step S402: Air interface parameter synchronization and ranging are completed between the terminal and the base station. Wherein, the base station includes a macro base station, a home base station, and the like.

[0105] Step S404: the terminal sends a basic capability negotiation request to the base station for negotiating authentication capabilities (such as user authentication policies, etc.) with the network.

[0106] Step S406: the base station (including the HNB and the macro base station) sen...

Abstract

The invention discloses a charging method based on a home base station system and a pre-payment client end. The method comprises the step: a pre-payment client send sends base station type information and/or terminal user type information of a service base station of a terminal to a pre-payment server so as to be convenient for the pre-payment server to execute a charging strategy to the terminal according to the base station type information and/or user type information, wherein the base station type information comprises the information on one of a micro base station and a home base station and the user type information comprises the information on one of a closed user group member and a non-closed user group member. The invention achieves the purpose of effectively attracting a user by an operator and encouraging the user to widely use the home base station, and realizes the smooth development of the service of the home base station.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the communication field, in particular, to a charging method based on a home base station system and a prepaid client. Background technique [0002] In order to provide mobile users with a higher service rate, reduce the cost of using high-speed services, reduce the investment of operators in network deployment, and at the same time, in order to make up for the lack of coverage of existing distributed cellular wireless communication systems, usually in the existing Femto base stations are deployed in the communication network as a supplement to macro base stations. The femto base station is generally installed and used in places such as homes and office areas. The home base station is a small, low-power base station, which has the advantages of practicality, convenience, and low power output. [0003] figure 1 is a schematic diagram of a communication network model including a home base station according to related t...
