Embodiment Construction

[0033] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0034] The embodiment of the present invention discloses a prepaid billing method, including:

[0035] S101: The billing device receives the CCR (Credit Control Request, credit control request) sent by the front-end equipment, the CCR includes the application traffic and user identification; when the CCR is used to apply for reserved resources, the CCR carries the RSU (requested-service- unit, request business volume), at this time, the application business volume can be the request business volume. According to the specific business, the request business volume can have various forms, such as: application for reserved call time, application for reserved traffic, application The total number of bytes reserved, the number of input bytes reserved for application, the number of output bytes reserved fo...

Abstract

The embodiment of the invention provides a method, device and system for charging prepayment. The method comprises: receiving a credit control request sent by front-end equipment, wherein the credit control request comprises an application service volume and a user identification; acquiring more than one charging policy corresponding to the user identification according to the user identification; respectively carrying out price approval on the application service volume to obtain price approval results corresponding to each charging policy according to each charging policy; and sending credit control requests carrying price approval results corresponding to each charging policy to an account balance management (ABM), so as to calculate the cost by the balance management center according to the price approval results. In the embodiment of the invention, the charging device sends the price approval results corresponding to each charging policy to the ABM, thus many times of interactions between the ABM and an online charging system (OCS) can be avoided; and the cost reservation is performed according to the price approval results, thereby reducing message interaction between the OCS and the ABM, reducing the work of many times of price approval carried out by the OCS, and improving the charging efficiency.

Description

technical field [0001] The embodiments of the present invention relate to the technical field of communication, and in particular, to a method, device and system for prepaid billing. Background technique [0002] In 3GPP (Third Generation Partnership Project, the third generation cooperative project specification), the OCS (Online charging system, online charging system) architecture clearly defines the ABM (Account Balance Management, balance management center) function, which is used as an independent module in ABM. The rating engine adopts the Rc interface, but it only defines that Rc adopts DCC (Diameter Credit-Control Application, credit control application protocol), and does not specify the specific interface. [0003] Under normal circumstances, ABM acts as a data center, and the business logic is on the OCS side. If the configured accounting rules are implemented on the OCS side, the usage rules of the bill book must be implemented through the interface, that is, th...
