Timing split billing processing method and system

Abstract

The embodiment of the present invention discloses a timing split charging processing method and system, wherein the method includes: the IMS network element sends a charging start message to the CCF unit; the CCF unit returns a charging start response message to the IMS network element, which includes the pre- The set timing division time interval value; the IMS network element starts the timing division timer according to the timing division time interval value, takes the start time of the call session establishment as the starting time, and performs timing according to the timing division time interval value in turn; each timing division When the end time corresponding to the time interval value arrives, the IMS network element generates a charging intermediate message according to the session status of the call service and sends it to the CCF unit, which includes the timing division mode identifier; The billing messages that have not yet generated bills are synthesized to generate timed split bills. The embodiment of the present invention can realize the charging accuracy of the time-divided call bill generated by the CCF unit in the IMS network.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to communication technology, in particular to a method and system for timing division billing processing. Background technique [0002] Internet protocol (IP) multimedia subsystem (IP Multimedia Subsystem, IMS) network, as the core network architecture of multi-service integration, provides a platform for fixed network and mobile network to realize all-IP network integration, in which voice and video call sessions are Service is the basic service of IMS, and it is also an important basis for building richer multimedia convergence services. For call session services, in order to avoid billing losses caused by failure to generate bills in time during long calls, the network is required to provide the function of generating timed split bills for long calls. In traditional networks, call bills for session services are directly generated by network elements that provide services, and the network elements generate timing split bills ac...

Problems solved by technology

[0007] The main reason for the above problems is that the time point of triggering timing segmentation in the above method comes from the CCF, but the relevant session status information in the bill comes from the IMS network element. However, the timing point of triggering timing segmentation is closely related to the session status. Only based on the CCF unit's own time, it is impossible to obtain the conversation status corresponding to the time point
