Embodiment Construction

[0074] The method of the present invention comprises:

[0075] A. When the user's IP-CAN session level usage report condition is met, the PCEF reports the first usage report of the user's current IP-CAN session level to the PCRF;

[0076] Wherein, the user's IP-CAN session-level usage reporting condition may be: the value of the user's current IP-CAN session-level usage has reached a preset first threshold;

[0077] B. After the PCRF receives it, it requests the PCEF for the second usage report corresponding to the sponsored data connection accessed by the user through the IP-CAN session; where, before initiating the request to the PCEF, the PCRF can first determine whether the user has passed the The monitored IP-CAN session accesses the sponsored data connection, if so, it may initiate a request to the PCEF to request the above-mentioned second usage report;

[0078] C. After receiving the second usage report replied by the PCEF, the PCRF uses the difference between the val...

Abstract

The invention discloses a traffic monitoring method and a policy and charging rules function (PCRF) entity. The PCRF entity comprises a traffic report receiving device, a second traffic report requesting device and an accumulated traffic computing device. The method comprises the steps of: when meeting an IP connectivity access network (IP-CAN) conversation level traffic reporting condition of a user, reporting a first traffic report of a user IP-CAN conversation level to the PCRF entity by a policy and charging enforcement function (PCEF) entity; after the PCRF entity receives the first traffic report, requesting the user to connect a corresponding second traffic report through sponsored data accessed by an IP-CAN conversation to the PCEF entity; and after receiving the second traffic report replied by the PCEF entity, using a difference between a value of the first traffic report and a value of the second traffic report as an accumulated traffic value of the IP-CAN conversation level by the PCRF entity. After the invention is adopted, a traffic monitoring-based policy control decision of the PCRF entity is more accurate.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the communication field, in particular to a usage monitoring method and a Policy and Charging Rules Function (Policy and Charging Rules Function, PCRF for short). Background technique [0002] The policy and charging control (Policy and Charging Control, PCC for short) architecture of the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3rd Generation Partnership Project, 3GPP for short) is a functional framework that can be applied to multiple access technologies. It can be applied to the Terrestrial Radio Access Network (UMTS Terrestrial Radio Access Network, UTRAN) of the Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS for short), the Global system for Mobile Communication (Global system for Mobile Communication, UTRAN for short). GSM) / GSM Data Enhanced Evolution (Enhanced Data rates for Global Evolution, abbreviated as EDGE) wireless access network, interworking wireless local area network (I-WLAN), and evolved packet system (E...
