Problems solved by technology

[0004] However, in the process of using the bills output by the GGSN as the basis for billing, the prior art has at least the following problems: the bills output by the GGSN cannot provide accurate user-related information, resulting in the existing billing system being unable to provide GPRS services according to the base station (In a network with a structure such as an all-antenna structure, the base station area is the cell, which is already the smallest unit in the area division) to perform more accurate billing, which cannot meet the needs of users, nor can it solve the problem of users roaming at the border. Inaccurate billing when using GPRS service

Embodiment 1

[0029] Embodiment 1 is a billing method provided according to the present invention, which is suitable for deployment in a billing system, such as figure 1 As stated, the method includes:

[0030] S101. Collect user-related location information at least indicating the base station area to which the user belongs from the bill output by the SGSN;

[0031] Wherein, the base station area is: the area covered by a base station. In a network with a structure such as all antennas, the base station area is a cell.

[0032] Wherein, the user-related location information includes at least: a location information identifier, a session identifier, and an address identifier of a GGSN that provides GPRS services for the user.

[0033] Further, the location information identifier includes: the unique identifier of the current base station area to which the above-mentioned user belongs (that is, the base station area where the base station providing services for the above-mentioned user is l...

Embodiment 3

[0061] Embodiment three is based on the embodiment of the present invention using GPRS service to charge under the situation of inter-provincial boundary, such as Figure 4 As shown, the method includes:

[0062] Because the execution process of S302 and S304 in this method is similar to the execution process of S202 and S204 in the second embodiment above, details are not described here.

[0063] Next, according to the collected user-related location information and the bill output by the gateway GPRS support point GGSN, the implementation of charging at the base station area level for the user can be specifically described through the following steps.

[0064] S306, the billing system entity queries corresponding information according to the number in the G-cdr, and the number corresponds to the product ordered by the user.

[0065] S308, the charging system entity searches for corresponding user-related location information in the storage area according to the session iden...

Embodiment 4

[0071] Embodiment 4 is a location information analysis device provided according to the present invention, such as Figure 5 As shown, the device includes: a collection unit 51 and a supplementary unit 53 .

[0072] Wherein, the collection unit 51 is used to collect at least the user-related location information indicating the base station area to which the user belongs from the bill output by the SGSN; the supplementary unit 53 is used to supplement the user-related location information corresponding to the phone bill output by the GGSN to the computer. In the billing process, the billing at the base station area level is performed for the user.

[0073] Further, in another embodiment of the present invention, as Figure 6 As shown, the device may further include: a storage unit 52 .

[0074] The storage unit 52 is configured to store correspondingly according to the user-related location information collected by the collection unit 51 . Correspondingly, the supplementing ...

Abstract

The invention discloses a charging method, a position information analysis device and a charging system. The method is used for charging for a user using GPRS, and comprises the steps of acquiring user related position information at least indicating the base station area to which the user belongs from a ticket output by an SGSN (Service GPRS Support Node), and charging for the user on base station area level according to the acquired user related position information and the ticket output by the SGSN. The embodiment of the invention can charge for the user according to the base station area level, solving the problem of inaccurate charging for the GPRS in the prior art, and improving the charging accuracy to the GPRS.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a wireless network and a service supporting technology in the field of communication, and in particular to a charging method, a location information analysis device, and a charging system. Background technique [0002] GPRS (General Packet Radio Service, General Packet Radio Service) service is a new type of packet data transmission technology opened on the existing network. In the process of using the GPRS service, the bills output by GGSN (Gateway GPRS Support Node, gateway GPRS support point) or SGSN (Servicing GPRS Support Node, service GPRS support point) can be used as the basis for charging users in the process of using GPRS services. [0003] According to the requirements of industry standards, content charging is a function of the GGSN. In order to implement content-based charging for data services, the billing system must use the bills output by the GGSN as the basis for charging. [0004] However, in the process of ...
