Authentication charging method for personal virtual number business

Abstract

The invention supplies a certification charging method of the personal virtual number operation. The method includes that setting different charging mode corresponding to the different operation; calling party and the called part are used the operation respectively certificated and delegated; they are respectively charging according to the corresponding charging mode. The invention is used to increase certification, delegation, and charging to the called part at the RADIUS interface and process, can improve the certification charging scheme and running mode of the different operation; charging information field is enlarge in the called charging message; and the charging rate and policy are set smartly; many charging modes are adopted to the personal virtual number operation to satisfy demand of the different types and levels, improve the operation running performance, and make the operator can supply multi individualization services.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of network charging, in particular to an authentication and charging method for a personal virtual number service. Background technique [0002] With the development of the Internet, the unique number service, one number service, Internet personal number service, Follow Me service and other similar services have become a new type of comprehensive personal communication service integrating PSTN (Public Switched Telephone Network) and IP network. It can be developed in the next generation network or soft exchange scheme. The characteristic of these services is a unique personal communication number (virtual number) assigned to the user, no matter where the user is (such as in the office, at home, on the Internet or on a business trip, etc.), the user can be found through his virtual number , to realize real-time communication with the user. Since this service is mainly to provide more convenience for the use...

Problems solved by technology

Moreover, the called billing message (accounting stop request message 4 / accounting stop result message 4) of the traditional IP phone follows the RADIUS protocol, and the attribute content lacks call forwarding information, such as the actual number of the call forwarding or the media gateway for the call forwarding IP address, etc., so after the AAA server obtains the called accounting message, it still cannot flexibly adopt the accounting policy

[0018] It can be seen from the above that the private message authentication, authorization and billing methods used in the existing technology are not open, and cannot be used in a network with a third-party AAA server, and cannot make full use of the existing AAA server of the operator, which is not conducive to business expansion; If the traditional IP phone authentication, authorization and billing methods are used, both the call flow control and the RADIUS interface are for the calling party, which cannot meet the needs of this type of service for the called party to realize the operation strategy and inter-network settlement

For example, it is impossible to implement hierarchical service authorization control for the called user; if the monthly billing or post-payment method is adopted, real-time deduction cannot be performed according to the call time or traffic, so the card number service cannot be supported; Different call forwarding numbers adopt different billing policies
