Embodiment Construction

[0035] The present invention is described in detail below with reference to accompanying drawing:

[0036] figure 1 A functional block diagram of determining the direction of service flow based on online charging information according to a specific embodiment of the present invention is shown.

[0037] In the 3GPP system, the policy and charging functions are implemented by a policy and charging control (Policy and Charging Control, PCC for short) architecture. The PCC architecture includes: Application Function (AF for short), Policy Control and Charging Rule Function (PCRF for short), Policy and Charging Enforcement Function (PCEF for short) ), Online Charging System (OCS for short) or Offline Charging System (OFCS for short), Subscription Profile Repository (SPR for short), bearer binding and event reporting functional entity (Bearing Binding and Event Report Function (BBERF for short) and other network elements, which are described in detail in the 3GPP technical specifi...

Abstract

The invention provides a method and device for determining the orientation of a service flow based on online charging information in policy control and charging rule function (PCRF) equipment and an online charging system (OCS). The method comprises the following steps that: the PCRF equipment sends service flow information to the OCS; the OCS determines orientation information which comprises one or more selectable destinations of the service flow according to the received service flow information, and sends the orientation information to the PCRF equipment; and the PCRF equipment determines the destination of the service flow according to the received orientation information.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a communication network, in particular to a method and device for determining the direction of service flow based on online charging information in a Policy Control and Charging Rule Facility (PCRF) and an Online Charging System (OCS) of the communication network. Background technique [0002] In today's 4G (Fourth Generation) / LTE (Long Term Evolution) communication network, there are various Packet Data Networks (PDN for short), such as the 3GPP (Third Generation Mobile Communication Partner Project) packet data network, non-3GPP packet data network of eHRPD (Enhanced High Speed ​​Packet Data) standard, IP application network of IMS (IP Multimedia Subsystem) network, independent application entities such as Apple retail stores, etc. . Different packet data networks may use different access technologies, may have different capacities, and may belong to different operators. [0003] With the increasing maturity of toda...
