Problems solved by technology

[0003] However, the above PCC architecture cannot charge for the data communication of a single application, for example, Skype, P2P, HTTP, etc. cannot be charged separately
This limitation makes it impossible for operators to apply different billing policies to application data communications

Abstract

This invention provides a charging method and a device in a PCC architecture, which receives application charging related information of an application data flow from an application charging terminal. When a first preset condition is subjected, the application data flow is charged according to the application charging related information. Compared with the prior art, the charging method and the device in the PCC architecture have advantages of achieving application level charging and obtaining a separate application charging result.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of communication, in particular to a method and device for charging in the PCC framework. Background technique [0002] 3GPP has introduced a policy and charging control (Policy and Charging Control, PCC) architecture. In the latest 3GPP TS23.203v11.0.1 (January 2011) version, a new node - application detection and control (Application Detection and Control, ADC) has been added to the PCC architecture. The ADC includes a traffic detection function ( Traffic Detection Function, TDF). The ADC / TDF detects application traffic and reports to the Policy and Charging Rules Function (PCRF). TDF can be a separate device, or integrated with Policy and Charging Enforcement Function (PCEF). The new PCC architecture including ADC / TDF solves the policy problem of the application layer service through the charging policy rules determined in the PCRF. The PCC architecture introduces the Sd reference point (Refer...
