Problems solved by technology

In the prior art, the traffic quota assigned to users is set in advance in the online billing system based on human experience. If the traffic quota allocated to users is too large, it will be difficult to exert the effect of real-time control on prepaid services. Small size will cause users to stop using services continuously to continue using services after applying for new traffic quotas. At the same time, a large number of signaling messages will be generated during the process of continuously applying for traffic quotas, which will bring heavy performance pressure to the network and network element equipment.
[0004] It can be seen that the allocation method of the traffic quota in the prior art will lead to the inability to accurately and effectively realize the real-time control of the prepaid service

Embodiment 1

[0021] figure 1 It is a flow chart of the flow charging service credit control method provided by Embodiment 1 of the present invention. The embodiment of the present invention is applicable to real-time control of the prepaid service subscribed by the user by assigning traffic quota to the user. The prepaid service is specifically a mobile Internet traffic charging service, and the mobile Internet traffic charging is realized through the control of the traffic quota Credit control of the business, so as to perform real-time billing and real-time control of the mobile Internet traffic billing business. like figure 2 Shown is a system architecture diagram applicable to the traffic charging service credit control method provided by the embodiment of the present invention. The traffic charging service credit control system mainly consists of the service identification and control network element 21 in the mobile communication network, and the online charging system ( Online Ch...

Embodiment 2

[0033] image 3 It is a flow chart of the credit control method for traffic charging service provided by Embodiment 2 of the present invention. Before the user realizes the credit control of the mobile Internet traffic billing service through the online billing system, the user needs to go to the business hall of the network operator to have the salesperson handle the activation procedures for the mobile Internet traffic billing service for the user. The specific activation process is as follows: image 3 As shown, the specific steps are as follows:

[0034] Step 301, the online charging system receives the user service synchronization information sent by the customer relationship management network element according to the service activation request message;

[0035]The embodiment of the present invention does not limit the way of opening the service. It can be that the user goes to the business hall and the salesperson handles the opening procedure, or the user can open the...

Embodiment 3

[0044] Figure 4 It is a flow chart of the credit control method for traffic charging service provided by Embodiment 3 of the present invention. On the basis of the above-mentioned embodiments, there are many ways for the online charging system to obtain the characteristic traffic value corresponding to the user who initiated the user service request message and the requested service according to the credit control request message, and the online charging system can The billing system generates the characteristic traffic value according to the preset policy, or other network elements generate the characteristic traffic value and actively report the characteristic traffic value to the online billing system, or the online billing system sends the characteristic traffic value to other network elements Querying information to enable the network element to generate a characteristic flow value, and sending the characteristic flow value back to the online charging system. In the pref...

Abstract

The invention provides a flow accounting service credit control method and device. The method includes the steps that an on-line charging system receives a credit control request message sent by a service recognition and control network element according to a user service request message; characteristic flow values corresponding to a user initiating the user service request message and requested service are obtained according to the credit control request message; a flow quota of the service is determined according to the characteristic flow values and a preset strategy; the flow quota is sent to the service recognition and control network element so as to indicate the service recognition and control network element to control the service according to the flow quota. The on-line charging system is used for determining the flow quota distributed to the user according to user historical data dynamic conditions, therefore, accurate and effective real-time control over pre-payment service is guaranteed, and meanwhile concurrent processing pressure of network equipment is reduced.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to communication technology, in particular to a credit control method and device for traffic billing service. Background technique [0002] Prepaid service has become an increasingly familiar service for mobile phone users and network users. For operators, prepaid service can not only provide multi-network and full-service converged charging, but also use the features of real-time charging and real-time control to reduce the number of operators. loss of income. [0003] In the prior art, the credit control of the prepaid service is realized through the traffic quota allocated to the user. The traffic quota is the traffic limit that the user is allowed to generate in the process of using the business, which is determined by the Online Charging System (OCS for short) and Distributed to the service identification and control network element, the service identification and control network element monitors the actual traffic accumulat...
