Problems solved by technology

However, the problem with this technical solution is that the user needs to pay the fee again in the roaming area, and a large amount of balance in the original attributable account cannot be used
[0027] Aiming at the problem that the related technology cannot better realize the online billing function of the roaming local service in the visited network, no effective solution has been proposed so far

Embodiment Construction

[0059] Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and in conjunction with embodiments. It should be noted that the embodiments in the present application and the features of the embodiments may be combined with each other in the case of no conflict.

[0060] Figure 4 is a flow chart of the charging policy method for roaming local services according to an embodiment of the present invention, as shown in Figure 4 As shown, the method mainly includes the following steps (step S402-step S406):

[0061] Step S402, the visited online charging system (V-OCS) receives a credit control request message (Credit Control Request) sent by the policy and charging enforcement function entity (PCEF), wherein the credit control request message is used to request the PCEF to perform charging The credit limit of the current user that needs to be used;

[0062] Step S404, the V-OCS judges whether the service requested by the curr...

Abstract

The invention discloses a charging strategy method and apparatus of roaming local services. The method comprises: a V-OCS receiving a credit control request message sent by a PCEF, the credit control request message being used for requesting the PCEF to execute a current user' credit quota needing to be used during charging; the V-OCS, according to the credit control request message, determining whether services requested by the current user are the roaming local services, if it is determined so, sending a credit threshold request message to an H-OCS, and receiving a credit threshold response message returned by the H-OCS, the credit threshold response message carrying a credit threshold authenticated by a home network for use in a visit network by the user; and the V-OCS, according to the credit threshold, determining the credit quota, and sending the credit quota carried in a credit control response message to the PCEF for executing charging. By using the method and apparatus provided by the invention, the effects of easily realizing session creating, modification and terminating flow processing of roaming local services are achieved.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the field of communications, in particular to a charging policy method and device for roaming local services. Background technique [0002] The Evolved Packet System (EPS, Evolved Packet System) of the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP, 3rd Generation Partnership Project) is composed of the Evolved Universal Mobile Telecommunications System Terrestrial Radio Access Network (E-UTRAN, Evolved Universal Terrestrial Radio Access Network), mobile Management unit (MME, Mobility ManagementEntity), serving gateway (S-GW, Serving Gateway), packet data network gateway (P-GW or PDN GW, PacketData Network Gateway), home subscriber server (HSS, Home Subscriber Server), 3GPP Authentication, authorization and accounting (AAA, Authentication, Authorization and Accounting) server, policy and charging rules functional entity (PCRF, Policy and Charging Rules Function) and other supporting nodes. [0003] figure 1 is a schematic d...
