Problems solved by technology

[0013] However, in the I-WLAN and SAE networking scenarios, how to implement charging and QoS policy control based on the PCC architecture has not been clearly defined in the 3GPP specification.
In the multi-SSID deployment scenario of I-WLAN and SAE networking, how the PCC architecture performs relevant billing and QoS policy control is a blind spot in the existing technology

Embodiment 1

[0035] Embodiment 1 of the present invention provides a charging and service quality policy management and control method, the steps of the method are as follows image 3 As shown, it specifically includes the following steps:

[0036] Step 101, the execution unit PCEF in the PCC architecture receives the SSID to which the terminal is currently attached reported by the terminal.

[0037] In this embodiment, during the process of service activation, the terminal will use the terminal to report the SSID currently attached to the terminal to the execution unit PCEF in the PCC architecture, so that the subsequent PCC architecture can use the SSID for charging and QoS policy control.

[0038] The SSID may be used to identify different regional scenarios. For example, the SSID may be CMCC or CMCC-EDU, which are used to identify regional scenarios using corporate services and regional scenarios using local campus services, respectively.

[0039] Step 102, the PCEF determines the cur...

Embodiment 2

[0064] Embodiment 2 of the present invention provides a billing and service quality policy management and control method, the steps of the method are as follows Figure 4 as shown, Figure 5 A schematic diagram of the PCC architecture under the I-WLAN networking scenario is shown, and the method includes the following steps:

[0065] In step 201, the terminal initiates an end-to-end tunnel establishment request message to the tunnel termination gateway TTG.

[0066] In the service initiation process of the terminal user, after the terminal completes the two-way authentication process with the network side, the terminal initiates an end-to-end tunnel establishment request E2E Tunnel establishment request message to the TTG. The E2E Tunnel establishment request message carries the SSID to which the terminal is currently attached, and through this message, the SSID is received by the tunnel termination gateway TTG.

[0067] When the terminal initiates an end-to-end tunnel establi...

Embodiment 3

[0077] Embodiment 3 of the present invention provides a charging and service quality policy management and control method, the steps of the method are as follows Figure 6 as shown, Figure 7 A schematic diagram of the PCC architecture under the SAE networking scenario is shown, and the method includes the following steps:

[0078] Step 301, the terminal performs a non-3GPP special process with a WLAN access network (Trusted Non-3GPP IP Access).

[0079] Step 302, Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP, Extensible Authentication Protocol) authentication is performed between the terminal and the WLAN access network (Trusted Non-3GPP IP Access), and the WLAN access network and the home subscriber server / authentication, authorization and Authentication and authorization between billing (HSS / AAA, Home Subscriber Server / authentication, authorization, and accounting).

[0080] The authentication authorization between the WLAN access network and HSS / AAA passes through the packet d...

Abstract

The invention provides a method and a device for managing and controlling charging and quality of service (QoS) strategies. The method comprises the following steps: determining current charging and QoS strategies by a performing unit in a PCC (Programmable Computer Controller) framework according to the currently-attached service set identifier (SSID) submitted from a terminal; and then controlling the charging and QoS strategies. By adopting the method, the charging and QoS strategies can be controlled by virtue of the PCC framework under an I-WLAN (Industrial Wireless Local Area Network) and SAE (Society of Automotive Engineers) networking scene, so that the gap in 3GPP (the 3rd Generation Partnership Project) specifications can be filled. According to the scheme provided by the embodiment of the invention, the granularity subjected to charging and QoS strategies control can be extended to reach SSID, so that WLAN application can be carried out by aiming at different region scenes and users, the service experiences of the users in key regions can be ensured, and the charging strategy can be flexibly carried out.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the field of communications, in particular to a charging and service quality policy control method and device. Background technique [0002] A wireless local area network (WLAN, Wireless Local Area Networks) is a wireless access network with a low unit traffic cost. With the continuous expansion of the application range of WLAN networks, different applications have different access quality requirements for WLAN networks, and the original WLAN network provides the same quality access services for different applications without distinction, so it can no longer meet the requirements. practical application needs. [0003] In response to the above problems, the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE, Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers) 802.11e protocol adds a Quality of Service (QoS, Quality of Service) specification to the WLAN system based on the 802.11 protocol. The standardization of QoS...
