Problems solved by technology

The billing architecture that separates online billing and offline billing makes operators face complex coordination and cooperation between multiple systems when configuring products, which limits the flexibility of service provisioning for operators. In the fifth-generation mobile communication technology (5rd-generation , 5G) There will be many restrictions on industry application support, and because the billing system is limited by the intervention of external systems on online billing and offline billing, the billing system is complicated

example 1

[0157] Example 1: Use the quota identifier to distinguish between online charging and offline charging. In this example, the third message includes third indication information, and the third indication information is a quota identifier. The content of the third message is as follows:

[0158] Quota Request{ / / online billing request

[0159] RG=1

[0160]}

[0161] Usage Report{ / / online billing request

[0162] RG=1, 28M, Quota ID=00001 / / Quota ID is the third indication information, used to identify the online charging request

[0163]}

[0164] Usage Report{ / / Offline billing request

[0165] RG=1,50M

[0166]}

example 2

[0167] Example 2: Use online and offline indication to distinguish between online charging and offline charging. In this example, the third message includes third indication information corresponding to the first data stream and fourth indication information corresponding to the second data stream. The content of the third message is as follows:

[0168] Quota Request{RG=1 / / online charging request

[0169]}

[0170] Usage Report{RG=1, 28M, indicator=online / / online charging request, indicator is the third indication information, used to identify the online charging request

[0171]}

[0172] Usage Report{RG=1, 50M, indicator=offline / / offline charging request, indicator is the fourth indication information, used to identify the offline charging request

[0173]}

[0174] In example 1 and example 2, RG is a rate group. It should be understood that if there is no specially identified quota application in the request, it is an online charging request by default.

Abstract

The invention provides a fusion charging method and device, which realize request of online charging and offline charging based on an online and offline fusion charging session, and simplify the charging architecture. The method comprises the following steps: a session management function determines charging types of a first data stream and a second data stream, wherein the charging types are online charging or offline charging; The session management function performs session management according to the charging types of the first data stream and the second data stream; sending a first message to a charging server through an online and offline fusion charging session, wherein the first message comprises a first online charging request of the first data flow, or the first message comprisesa first offline charging request of the second data flow, or the first message comprises a first online charging request of the first data flow and a first offline charging request of the second dataflow, and the online-offline fusion charging session is used for sending the first online charging request and the first offline charging request.

Description

technical field [0001] The present application relates to the communication field, and more specifically, to a method and device for converged charging. Background technique [0002] At present, the charging frameworks of the third generation mobile communication technology (3rd-generation, 3G) and the fourth generation mobile communication technology (4rd-generation, 4G) include two systems of online charging and offline charging. In the online charging system, charging trigger function (Charging Trigger Function, CTF) through R o The interface is connected with an online charging function (Online Charging Function, OCF). CTF in offline billing system through R f The interface is connected with a charging data function (ChargingData Function, CDF). The billing architecture that separates online billing and offline billing makes operators face complex coordination and cooperation between multiple systems when configuring products, which limits the flexibility of service p...
