Abstract

The embodiment of the invention discloses a charging and policy control method, a policy and charging rules function PCRF and an online charging system OCS. The charging and policy control method comprises the following steps: the policy and charging rules function PCRF obtains the signing information of the user from the online charging system OCS through a Sy interface, wherein the signing information of the user indicates the business information of the user signing with the business issuing Provisioning system; the PCRF generates a execution policy of the user according to the signing information of the user and the local policy configuration information, wherein the execution policy of the user indicates the charging policy and control policy of the signed business; and the PCRF sends the execution policy of the user to the policy and charging execution function PCEF, so that the PCEF performs charging and policy control on the signed business of the user according to the execution policy of the user. By means of the charging and policy control method, the PCRF and the OCS disclosed by the embodiment of the invention, the PCC network structure can be simplified, and the storage cost of the PCRF is saved.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the communication field, and more specifically, relates to a method for policy charging and policy control, a policy and charging rule function PCRF, and an online charging system OCS. Background technique [0002] In the policy and charging control (English full name: Policy and Charging Control, abbreviated: PCC) network architecture, the policy and charging rule function (English full name: Policy and Charging RulesFunction, abbreviated: PCRF) implements policy control decision-making and traffic-based The function of charge control, Policy and Charging Enforcement Function (Policy and Charging Enforcement Function, PCEF) realizes the detection of business data flow, policy enforcement and flow-based charging function, online charging system (English full name: Online Charging System, referred to as : OCS) to realize the billing function. The PCRF needs to communicate with the PCEF through the Gx interface, and comm...
