Problems solved by technology

However, the above schemes cannot meet this requirement because they mainly detect the connectivity between GSN and CG in the running state, that is, assuming that the network has been officially put into operation.
[0012] 2. Equipment maintenance personnel sometimes need to detect the connectivity between GSN and a specific CG in a targeted manner, as well as the GTP’ version supported by the peer CG, and the above solutions cannot meet this requirement

Embodiment Construction

[0026] The preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0027] The present invention provides a method for actively performing communication detection between GSN and CG. For the shortcomings of the existing technical solutions, the GSN actively initiates communication detection, and judges whether the peer device can communicate with the local device by detecting the response message of the peer device. The device establishes GTP' communication.

[0028] The method of the present invention is based on the fact that the communication protocol stack between GSN and CG is GTP' / UDP / IP, or GTP' / TCP / IP, and communication detection can not depend on whether GSN produces bill. Thereby can send inquiry message to CG through GSN, as GTP' Echo Request (echo request) message to detect the connectivity between GSN and CG.

Abstract

The method includes following steps: (1) constructing a piece of communication test route; (2) using the said constructed communication test route sends inquiry message to charging gateway at opposite end; (3) based on response to the inquiry message from the charging gateway at opposite end, the method determines connectivity between service node of gateway and charging gateway at opposite end. The invention saves time for locating fault, and provides convenience for testing connectivity between service nodes of gateway and charging gateway at opposite end.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a communication technology based on GPRS (General Packet Radio Service) / WCDMA (Wideband Code Division Multiple Access), in particular to a method for detecting connectivity between a gateway service node and a charging gateway (CG). Background technique [0002] GSN (Gateway Service Node) includes SGSN (Serving GPRS Support Node) and GGSN (Gateway GPRS Support Node), which and CG (Charging Gateway) are basic network elements in the GPRS / WCDMA packet domain core network. The main function of SGSN is to provide MS access control, mobility management, session management, etc.; GGSN mainly provides routing and encapsulation functions between GPRS / WCDMA and PDN (external packet data network) for user packets; in addition, both SGSN and GGSN Generate CDR (Charging Record) and send the record to CG. The CG dialog sheet is preprocessed. The position of SGSN, GGSN and CG in GPRS / WCDMA network can refer to Figure 2 in 3GPP TS 23.060. ...
