Problems solved by technology

[0011] If the calling user signs a logical service on the basis of the network service, that is, multiple services are nested with each other, the CSCF will obtain the multiple services signed by the user and need to send the call request to the application corresponding to each service signed Server AS, each application server AS makes a judgment, and then sends a charging request to OCS, OCS receives the charging request of each application server AS, and selects according to the calling number and service ID carried in each charging request business, such an increase in resource consumption and OCS equipment investment will increase operating costs for service providers

Embodiment 1

[0040] Such as figure 2 As shown, the embodiment of the present invention provides an online charging method, including:

[0041] Step 101: Receive a call request, and obtain the billing service information signed by the calling user according to the calling number carried in the call request;

[0042] Step 102: Send a call request to the service AS corresponding to the service information used for charging, when receiving the confirmation information returned by the service application server AS (service AS), send a charging request to the OCS, and request the OCS to charge;

[0043] In the embodiment of the present invention, the general application server (general AS) obtains the service information subscribed by the calling user, selects the service information for charging from the obtained service information, sends a charging request to the OCS, and requests the OCS to charge. Among them, the general AS obtains and selects the service information of a service, forward...

Embodiment 2

[0045] The embodiment of the present invention provides a charging method. This embodiment applies to image 3 In the network architecture shown, a general AS is set in the IMS system in advance, and OCS charging is triggered by the general AS, such as Figure 4 As shown, the method includes:

[0046] Step 201: The calling user sends a call request to the CSCF, wherein the call request carries the calling number and the called number;

[0047] Wherein, the calling number is used to identify the calling user, and the called number is used to identify the called user. The calling user sends a call request, and the call request is used to request a call with the called user.

[0048] Step 202: CSCF receives the call request, and forwards the call request to the general AS;

[0049] Among them, the service provider sets up a general AS in the IMS system in advance, and the general AS is responsible for the call charging of each user in an area, and the service provider sets up o...

Embodiment 3

[0096] The embodiment of the present invention provides a charging method. Assume that the calling user A signs the PPS service with the service provider in advance and registers the billing method of the PPS service, signs the VPN service and registers the billing method of the VPN service, the calling user A requests to talk with the called user B, and During the call between calling user A and called user B, the general AS can trigger OCS online charging. Such as Figure 5 As shown, the method includes:

[0097] Step 301: Calling user A sends a call request to CSCF, wherein the call request carries calling number NumberA and called number NumberB;

[0098] Step 302: The CSCF receives the call request sent by the calling user A, and forwards the call request to the general AS;

[0099] Step 303: The general AS receives the call request, and according to the calling number NumberA carried in the call request, obtains the service information of the PPS service and the servi...

Abstract

The invention discloses a charging method, device and system, belonging to the field of communication. The method comprises the steps of: receiving a call request, and obtaining charging service information signed by a calling user according to a calling number carried by the call request; sending the call request to a service application server (service AS) corresponding to the charging service information, and when receiving confirmation information replied by the service AS, and sending a charging request to an online charging system (OCS) for requesting the OCS to charge. The system comprises a general AS and the OCS. The general AS comprises an obtaining module and a sending module. According to the invention, resource consumption and equipment input of the OCS can be reduced, and operation cost is lowered.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the communication field, in particular to a charging method, equipment and system. Background technique [0002] IMS (IP Multimedia Subsystem, IP (Internet Protocol, protocol interconnection between networks) multimedia subsystem) system can provide service providers with flexible billing methods, helping service providers and network owners maintain market advantages and enrich profits model. Among them, such as figure 1 As shown in , the billing methods provided by the IMS system are as follows: [0003] Step S1: The calling user sends a call request to CSCF (Call Session Control Function, call session control function), and the call request carries the calling number and the called number; [0004] Step S2: The CSCF acquires the services signed by the user according to the calling number, and sends a call request to the AS (Application Server, application server) corresponding to each acquired service; [0005] A...
