Embodiment 1

[0075] Considering that it is difficult to frequently modify the interface of the BOSS system in the existing technology, and it is impossible to quickly deploy and flexibly charge the diversified characteristic services, this embodiment provides a service charging method, such as figure 2 As shown, it is applied to the featured business server side, including the following steps:

[0076] Step 201: After the user signs a special service at the special service server, the special service server records the signed service information, and the signed service information includes: service charging method.

[0077] In this embodiment, the featured service server is responsible for signing the featured service; the user can sign the service on the featured service server through channels, such as direct purchase, SMS acquisition, APP acquisition, etc. The service charging method in this embodiment may be a variety of charging methods, such as flow-free charging, common charging, s...

Embodiment 2

[0087] Such as image 3 As shown, this embodiment provides a service charging method, applied to the PGW side, including the following steps:

[0088] Step 301: When the user successfully accesses the network to perform special services, the PGW performs identification and service flow statistics on the special services.

[0089] Step 302: Report the statistical service flow to the characteristic service server through PCRF, so that the characteristic service server can perform billing.

[0090] The service charging method provided in this embodiment performs service flow statistics on characteristic services, and reports the statistical service flow to the characteristic service server for charging. It can be seen that the method in this embodiment introduces a new one based on the existing network architecture. The characteristic service server is used for charging various characteristic data services of users, that is, to guide the charging of various characteristic data s...

Embodiment 3

[0102] Such as Figure 4 As shown, this embodiment provides a service charging method, which is applied to both sides of the PGW and the featured service server, and includes the following steps:

[0103] Step 401: After the user signs a special service at the special service server, the special service server records the signed service information, and the signed service information includes: service charging method.

[0104]In this embodiment, the featured service server is responsible for signing the featured service; the user can sign the service on the featured service server through channels, such as direct purchase, SMS acquisition, APP acquisition, etc. The service charging method in this embodiment may be a variety of charging methods, such as flow-free charging, common charging, special charging, and the like.

[0105] Step 402: When the user successfully accesses the network to perform the featured service, the PGW identifies the featured service and makes statisti...

Abstract

The invention discloses a service billing method and system, a feature service server and a packet data network gateway. The service billing method is characterized in that after a user signs a feature service at the feature service server, the feature service server records signed service information, wherein the signed service information comprises a service billing mode; when the user accesses a network successfully and executes the feature service, the feature service server receives service traffic reported by the packet data network gateway (PGW) through a policy and charging rule function (PCRF); and the feature service server carries out billing according to the service billing mode and the service traffic. The service billing method can solve the technical problem that since it is hard to transform interfaces of a BOSS system frequently in the prior art, rapid deployment and flexible billing cannot be carried out on diversified feature services.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of mobile communication, in particular to a service charging method and system, a characteristic service server, and a packet data network gateway. Background technique [0002] The current mobile Internet is facing the rapid development of technology and the emergence of endless characteristic services. For these diversified services, there is also a demand for rapid deployment and less impact on existing network equipment during the service development process, and the billing method will also be different from traditional ones. There is a big difference in the billing method of the billing method, and it will be more flexible. [0003] In an existing network, generally, a BOSS (Business & Operation Support System, business operation support system) system of an operator is responsible for online or offline charging of user data services. [0004] Such as figure 1 As shown, the existing network data service chargi...
