Embodiment Construction

[0029] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the application with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the application. Apparently, the described embodiments are only some of the embodiments of the application, not all of them.

[0030] Such as figure 1 As shown, an NFV system provided by an embodiment of the present application includes: NFV infrastructure (Network Function Virtualization Infrastructure, NFVI), MANO, a virtualized network function module (Virtualized Network Function, VNF) and an operation support system (Operation Support System, OSS) / Business support system (Business support system, BSS).

[0031] Among them, NFVI is mainly responsible for fully virtualizing computing, storage, and network hardware resources and mapping them into virtual resources. VNF uses software to implement various traditional physical network functions. VNF runs on NFVI and uses virtual resources virtualized by NFV...

Abstract

The invention discloses an online charging method and system and relates to the field of communication technologies, for realizing charging for NFV services. The method comprises the following steps: receiving, by an online charging system, an NFV service request sent by a client, and forwarding the NFV service request to a MANO network element so that the MANO network element determines a target quota according to a resource specification and a resource type in the NFV service request; then, receiving, by the online charging system, a quota application request sent by the MANO network element, wherein the quota application request is used for requesting the online charging system to deliver the target quota; querying, by the online charging system, an account of a user to which the client belongs and obtaining a user account balance from the account of the user; and when the account balance of the user is greater than or equal to the target quota, delivering, by the online charging system, the target quota to the MANO network element so that the MANO network element executes NFV services requested by the user. The method and system are applicable to the charging process of NFV services.

Description

technical field [0001] The present application relates to the technical field of communications, and in particular to an online charging method and system. Background technique [0002] Network Function Virtualization (Network Function Virtualization, NFV) is to carry various software-based network device functions by using general-purpose hardware such as X86 and virtualization technology, so that network device functions no longer depend on dedicated hardware, so that operators It can realize rapid development and deployment of new services, and perform automatic deployment, elastic scaling, fault isolation and self-healing based on actual business needs. [0003] Based on the NFV platform, operators can provide users with various NFV services, such as: NFV infrastructure as a service (NFV Infrastructure as a Service, NFVIaaS), NFV platform as a service (NFV Platform as a Service, NFVPaaS), virtualized Network Function as a Service (Virtualized Network Function as a Servi...
