Method and system for restoring online charging state of user

Abstract

The invention discloses a method and a system for restoring an online charging state of a user. The method comprises the steps of building a mobile management entity (MME) interface information management library associated with the user; transmitting subscription information of the user to a home subscriber server (HSS); querying MME information associated with the user in the HSS; determining an MME interface associated with the user according to the MME information, returned from the HSS and associated with the user, and the MME interface information management library; and transmitting a request of restoring the online charging state of the user to the MME associated with the user through the MME interface associated with the user.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the communication field, in particular to a method and a system for restoring the user's online charging status. Background technique [0002] With the rapid popularization of 4G (fourth generation mobile communication technology, TD-LTE and FDD-LTE) and the application of CA (Carrier Aggregation, Carrier Aggregation) technology, the network rate has been greatly improved, and the user traffic is reminded in time Consumption status, assisting users to manage consumption, and improving the level of service users have become one of the important parts of operators' operations. Existing operators incorporate 4G users into the online charging mode as needed, and connect the 4G core network EPC (Evolved Package Core, evolved packet core network) and OCS (Online Charging System, online charging system) to realize the use of traffic for users Timely reminders, arrears control, etc. [0003] At present, there are two ways to restore ...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0007] 1. There are uncertainties in the user's mobile switching network and restarting to restore the online billing status;

[0008] 2. For the mode of sending location updates to the HLR, the user terminal needs to be restarted for recovery;

[0009] 3. For the method of regularly scanning the offline charging state through the network element to prompt the user to rebuild the bearer and restore the online charging state, due to the uncertainty of whether the fault will be restored, and the offline charging state is still maintained within the period, it cannot be quickly restored online Billing status, in addition, this method periodically makes the user offline (fault recovery period) affects the user's online perception, and at the same time, the regular scanning process increases the network element load;

[0010] 4. By judging the P-GW information in the P-GW offline call list, the method of sending a request to restore the user status to the P-GW. Due to the mobility of the user, after the online billing system returns to normal, the user has left the call list. The P-GW equipment covers the area, resulting in the invalidation of the recovery command sent to the P-GW, and the timeliness of recovery is poor.

[0011] For one or more of the above problems, no effective solution has been proposed
