Problems solved by technology

[0005] In the process of realizing the charging of the above-mentioned local routing flow or session, there are at least the following problems: when there are LR (Local Routing, local routing) that are not transmitted to the core network but are routed locally under the base station or gateway in a flow or session ) data and non-LR data packets transmitted to the core network without local routing, the above method cannot distinguish between LR data and non-LR data charging, and cannot meet the needs of accurate traffic charging

Embodiment 1

[0093] An embodiment of the present invention provides a charging method based on flow or session traffic, which is a method on the prepaid server side, such as figure 1 As shown, the method includes:

[0094] 101. The prepaid server receives the first quota request message sent by the prepaid billing device, and the first quota request message includes the local routing LR indication information of the flow or session, which is used to indicate whether the flow or session supports Streams or sessions for LR data and non-LR data transfer capabilities.

[0095] Wherein, the prepaid server may be a PPS (Pay Per Server, prepaid server) in the WiMAX network, and may be a device with corresponding functions in other networks, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present invention.

[0096] The LR indication information is used to indicate the state of the flow or session, and its state includes: a flow or session containing only LR data, a flow or session containing only ...

Embodiment 2

[0106] The embodiment of the present invention provides a prepaid billing method based on flow or session traffic. In the embodiment of the present invention, the prepaid server allocates two quotas for the stream or session as an example, and specifically explains the flow or session traffic-based calculation method. Fee method; the prepaid server will allocate two quotas to the flow or session according to the LR information in the prepaid request message, one is the quota for LR data in the flow or session, and the other is the non-LR data in the flow or session quota. Then the prepayment server sends these two quotas to the prepayment billing device. The prepayment billing device can be a prepayment client or a prepayment agent. For example, in a WiMAX network, the prepayment client is a PPC. The billing agent is PPA; let the prepaid billing device record and deduct specific billing information according to the actual type of data in the flow or session. In the embodiment...

Embodiment 3

[0141] The embodiment of the present invention provides a prepaid billing method based on stream or session traffic. The embodiment of the present invention takes the prepaid server as an example to allocate a quota for the stream or session, and specifically elaborates the billing based on stream or session traffic Method: the one quota is the quota corresponding to the non-LR data or the quota corresponding to the higher rate among the LR data and the non-LR data. Wherein, when the prepaid server allocates a quota for the flow or session, it only allocates one quota, and after the actual total traffic of the subsequent flow or session reaches the quota threshold, it triggers a new quota application, and carries LR data in the request message information, including the size or type of LR data in the flow or session for a single time in the current period or accumulated up to this time. After receiving the quota request message, the prepaid server PPS processes the charging in...

Abstract

The embodiment of the invention discloses a charging method, device and system based on flow or conversation flow, relates to the field of communication, and realizes the respective charging in a distinguishing LR (local routing) and non-LR in same flow or conversation. The method comprises the following steps of: when the flow or the conversation is charged through a prepaid form, respectively distributing quotas corresponding to LR data and non-LR data through the flow or the conversation;or distributing a quota through the flow or the conversation, processing the flow or the conversation during or after the flow or the conversation, and realizing respective charging for the LR data and the non-LR data on the same flow or conversation; and when the flow or the conversation is charged through a post-paid form, realizing the respective charging for the LR data and the non-LR data in the same flow or the conversation by reporting service data record of information of the LR data and the non-LR data comprising the flow or the conversation. The embodiment of the invention is mainly used in a local route flow or conversation charging process.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the communication field, in particular to a charging method, device and system based on flow or session flow. Background technique [0002] In the current Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access (WiMAX) system, online charging is based on flow or session, which is the granularity of charging, where a flow can be a certain service, or For a certain service flow, or a certain packet data flow, or a certain service data flow, the session may be an Internet Protocol (Internet Protocol, IP) session or an Ethernet (Ethernet, ETH) session interconnected between certain networks. In the case of flow-based or session-based charging, a quota is assigned to each flow or session. [0003] In a WiMAX network, when a terminal communicates with an external network, the uplink message sent by the terminal is transmitted to the serving gateway through the base station, then transmitted to the anchor access gateway by the servin...
