Embodiment 1

[0119] The charging information is collected by the BS that accesses the session, as shown in Figure 3, the charging process includes the following steps:

[0120] S101. After receiving the successful authentication of the user authentication authorization, the charging client obtains the charging quota allocated to the session and its threshold value from the charging server / proxy in the CSN, and compares these charging quotas with the corresponding The threshold value is carried in the prepaid charging response message to inform the BS of the access session;

[0121] S102. When the BS monitors that the remaining value of a certain billing information quota is equal to or lower than the threshold value, it collects and counts the billing information that needs to be collected for the session on the BS, and carries the billing information in the prepaid billing request The message is reported to the serving ASN-GW;

[0122] S103. The serving ASN-GW forwards the prepaid chargi...

Embodiment 2

[0139] Using the method of simultaneously collecting charging information by the BS and the anchor ASN-GW, the technical conception includes the following steps:

[0140] 1. After the billing client receives the successful authentication of the user authentication authorization, the billing server / agent in the CSN sends a billing notification to the billing client about the billing quota and threshold allocated for the session, (if the session is in progress , then the billing client initiates an application to the billing server / proxy in the CSN to assign a billing quota and a threshold value to the new session);

[0141] 2. The charging client notifies the anchor ASN-GW of the charging quota and the threshold value to start charging and / or notifies the BS to start charging through the serving ASN-GW;

[0142] The BS or the anchor ASN-GW is responsible for monitoring and collecting the provided charging information, which can be pre-configured on the charging client, and the ...

Embodiment 3

[0185] Another method utilizing BS and anchor ASN-GW to collect charging information at the same time, the technical conception includes the following steps:

[0186] 1. After the billing client receives the successful authentication of the user authentication authorization, the billing server / agent in the CSN sends a billing notification to the billing client about the billing quota and threshold allocated for the session, (if the user already has In-progress session, then the billing client initiates an application to the billing server / agent in the CSN to assign a billing quota and a threshold value to the new session);

[0187] 2. The billing client sends the billing quota and threshold value to the anchor ASN-GW to start billing, and the anchor ASN-GW sends the service ASN-GW to the BS to notify the billing start;

[0188] The BS or the anchor ASN-GW is responsible for monitoring and collecting the provided charging information, which can be pre-configured on the charging...

Abstract

A method for collecting and reporting charge information includes sending session charge quota and threshold value to gateway / base station of access service network by charge server / agent through client end being charge, collecting session charge information and reporting it to said client end when surplus value of said quota is less than said threshold value then sending received session charge information to charge server / agent by said client end, distributing new session charge quota and threshold valve or stopping session service by charge server / agent. The charging system of prepayment is also disclosed.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a mobile communication system, in particular to a prepaid billing system and a method for collecting and reporting billing information of prepaid users. Background technique [0002] With the vigorous development of Internet services and the wide application of wireless networks, GPRS (General Packet Radio Service, General Packet Radio Service), 3G, WiMAX (Worldwide Interoperability Microwave Access, Microwave Access Global Interoperability) and B3G (Beyond 3G, after 3G), etc. Wireless systems have received a large number of applications and attention. The increase in the number of users and the increase in user requirements provide new requirements for the wireless access network system: it is required to support multiple services with large capacity, large data volume and different service quality requirements. [0003] The wireless access network mainly completes the functions of service provisioning and packet service forw...
