Embodiment 1

[0027] When the user registers the user's contract information with the operator, he can choose the pre-paid and post-paid billing methods at the same time. Before the user uses MSS to establish a session and start data services, the user can arbitrarily select the prepaid charging method and the postpaid charging method on the MSS according to the needs. figure 2Shown is the billing process in which the user selects the prepaid billing mode. If the user chooses to adopt the prepaid charging method, the MSS first accesses the BS through the R1 interface, and the BS initiates authentication to the authorization, verification (authentication) and accounting server (AAA Server: Authorization, Authentication and Accounting Server) through the ASN GW process. After the AAA server authenticates and authorizes the MSS, the ASN GW determines that the user chooses the prepaid charging method according to the authentication and authentication data of the AAA server. The prepaid clien...

Embodiment 2

[0031] When the user registers the user's contract information with the operator, he can choose the prepaid and postpaid billing methods at the same time, and after registering the pre-stored call charges, it will automatically switch to the post-paid billing method and pre-store it in his account. A certain amount of fees. Before using the communication service, the user chooses to adopt the prepaid billing method on the MSS. The MSS initiates the authentication process to the CSN through the ASN. The CSN authenticates and authenticates the user's service type, service quality, and charging method. The ASN gateway determines that the user adopts the prepaid charging method based on the authentication and authentication data of the CSN. The prepayment client of the ASN gateway notifies the prepayment server to establish a data session, and the prepayment server judges whether to establish a session according to the configuration of user charges.

Abstract

A method of utilizing mobile user station to switch over charge mode in WiMAX includes selecting charge modes of prepaid charge mode or postpaid charge mode on mobile user station before session is set up on mobile user station, using connection service network to carry out certification on mobile user station information and executing prepaid charge mode by gateway of connection service network as well as informing prepaid charge server to set up session by prepaid client end then judging whether session is set up or not by said server according to account information of mobile user station if prepaid charge mode is selected.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to communication technology, in particular to a method for switching charging modes by using a mobile subscriber station in WiMAX. Background technique [0002] With the vigorous development of Internet services and the wide application of wireless networks, wireless access networks such as WiMAX, GPRS, 3G and B3G can provide users with various services that support large capacity, large data volume and different service quality requirements. In a radio access network, how to count billing information such as data volume / service time provided to users is a very important aspect in a communication system. [0003] In the prior art, charging methods of Worldwide Interoperability Microwave Access (WiMAX: Worldwide Interoperability Microwave Access) include: a prepaid charging method and a postpaid charging method. [0004] The billing method of pre-payment refers to: the user pays the fee to the operator in advance to purchase the r...
