Problems solved by technology
Due to the small value of VT, the time interval for the front-end network element to send the CCR message is short, which leads to too many information exchanges between the OCS and the front-end network element, which seriously consumes the performance cost and network cost of the OCS and the front-end network element. overhead

An embodiment of the present invention provides an online charging system OCS, including: an authorization module, configured to receive a credit control request sent by a front-end network element, and reply a credit control response to the front-end network element; a receiving module, configured to receive a credit control response from the front-end network element The front-end network element receives multiple rate records of the target user within the validity period; the rate module is used to divide the validity period into multiple billing points according to all rate switching points within the validity period period, and determine the rate of each billing period; the rating module is used to calculate the target user's rate within the validity period according to the multiple rate records and the rate of each billing period The cost of traffic used. The OCS provided by the embodiment of the present invention can reduce the number of information interactions between the OCS and the front-end network elements, and save the performance cost and network overhead of the OCS and the front-end network elements. The embodiment of the present invention also provides a related front-end network element, a pricing method, a rate monitoring method, and a pricing system.
Description
technical field [0001] The invention relates to the communication field, in particular to an OCS, a front-end network element, a billing method and a rate monitoring method. Background technique [0002] With the development of science and technology, the application of data services is becoming more and more extensive. Therefore, accurate billing for data services has become an urgent need for operators. Generally, operators charge for data services according to duration or traffic, among which, operators are more inclined to use traffic-based charging. When charging by traffic, the front-end network element initiates a CCR (Credit Control Request, credit control request) to the OCS (Online ChargeSystem, online charging system), and the CCR includes the traffic RSU (Requested-Service -Unit, request amount). The OCS replies / CCA (Credit Control Answer, credit control response) to the front-end network element. The CCA includes the traffic GSU (Granted-Service-Unit, author...
