Description
Technical field
The present invention relates to field of telecommunications, especially a kind of technology of telecom charging.
Background technology
At field of telecommunications, telecommunication user relates to professional cost of use problem when using telecommunication service, and telecom charging is the main line that runs through whole telecommunications development.It not only is directly connected to the development of telecommunications enterprise, has also embodied the service level of telecommunications enterprise to vast telecommunication user.Along with the continuous development of telecommunication technology, the transformation of the continual renovation of telecommunication service and growth and telecommunications management style is had higher requirement to telecom charging.The way of paying of telecommunication user have two kinds at present: for prepaid user's real-time payment and postpaid service user's quasi real time paying.In order to reach this business demand, the charge system of communication network has two kinds of implementations: cooperate the real time billing of finishing telecommunication user and the quasi real time charging of realizing telecommunication user by off-line accounting system by intelligent network and Mobile Data Service Platform.
A kind of charge system is arranged at present, handle all billing operations by the quasi real time charging systematic unity.This charge system parts are single, and cost is lower, but real-time is relatively poor, and the cycle of deducting fees is long, can't realize the real time billing to business, have higher arrearage risk.
There is another kind of charge system can realize prepaid user's real time billing processing and postpaid service user's quasi real time charging processing at present.The real time billing of described charge system is realized with Service Provisioning Administration Core Environment (MDSP) by the Service Control Point of intelligent network (SCP) of network side: the switching equipment of circuit domain (MSC/SSP) links to each other with described SCP, realize the real time billing of circuit domain business by SCP, the Serving GPRS Support Node of packet domain (SGSN) links to each other with MDSP by SCP, the bearer traffic of packet domain charges and realizes that by the interface between SGSN and the SCP content charging is then realized by MDSP; Quasi real time charging realizes that by quasi real time charging system (Hotbilling) Hotbilling is from the MSC of circuit domain, and the MDSP of charging gateway of packet domain (CG) and business network gathers ticket, then the user is chargeed.
Quasi real time charging may further comprise the steps:
Step 101: the user uses circuit domain business or packet switch domain service.
Step 102: after the user used business to finish, relevant device is the MSC of circuit domain business for example, and the CG of packet switch domain service and MDSP produce user's ticket.
Step 103: ticket is gathered from described relevant device by the quasi real time charging system, and charges for the user.
Real time billing may further comprise the steps:
Step 201: the user uses circuit domain business or packet switch domain service;
Step 202: use in the business procedure the user, the relevant device for example MSC of circuit domain business and SGSN/SSP, MDSP and the SCP of packet switch domain service carries out real-time, interactive.MSC, SGSN/SSP are with user's operating position such as real-time report such as flow, duration, and SCP carries out wholesale price, deducts fees and reservation operations; MDSP carries out wholesale price according to the customer service operating position to content, is deducted fees by SCP then;
Step 303: after the user used end, described relevant device was to SCP report of user operating position, and MDSP directly reports cost of use, and SCP deducts fees and returns the acknowledge message of deducting fees to described relevant device.
Though described charge system can realize real time billing and quasi real time charging, the intelligent network SCP of realizing real time billing is a network equipment, compare with the quasi real time charging system charging ability a little less than, flexibility is relatively poor.
Summary of the invention
The problem to be solved in the present invention is to provide a kind of ability of charging strong and higher charging method and the system thereof of real-time.
For solving the problems of the technologies described above, the embodiment of the invention proposes following technical scheme:
The embodiment of the invention provides a kind of charging method, and described charging method comprises:
Judge that the user is prepaid user or postpaid service user,
If be the prepaid user, adopt real-time charging method to charge, described real-time charging method comprises:
Real-time Billing System is carried out expense and is calculated and deduct according to the employed business of user;
Real-time Billing System is according to the employed professional professional ticket of real time billing that produces of user;
If be the postpaid service user, adopt the quasi real time charging method to charge, described quasi real time charging method comprises:
According to the employed professional professional ticket of quasi real time charging that produces in user's metering period,
The quasi real time charging system carries out expense to the professional ticket of described quasi real time charging to be calculated, and obtains the user and uses the quasi real time professional expense that produces and be sent to Real-time Billing System;
In the metering period end of term, described Real-time Billing System uses the quasi real time professional expense that produces to deduct according to the user who receives.
The embodiment of the invention also provides a kind of charge system, and described charge system comprises:
Real-time Billing System comprises that the wholesale price unit is used for that the employed real time billing business of prepaid user is carried out expense and calculates and deduct;
The quasi real time charging system comprises that the wholesale price unit is used for that the employed quasi real time charging business of user is carried out expense and calculates, and the expense that gained will calculate in described quasi real time charging system sends straight described Real-time Billing System and deducts;
The service billing point, if the user is the postpaid service user, described service billing point is according to the employed professional professional ticket of quasi real time charging that produces of postpaid service user, and send the professional ticket of quasi real time charging to the quasi real time charging system, if the user is a prepayment service, described service billing point sends the real time billing request message to Real-time Billing System.
In sum, Real-time Billing System and quasi real time charging system have organically been merged in the present invention, and Real-time Billing System has identical charging ability with the quasi real time charging system, the more weak problem of charging ability when promptly having solved the available technology adopting intelligent network SCP and carrying out real time billing, the high problem of arrearage risk when having solved single employing quasi real time charging system again and chargeing, therefore use technical scheme provided by the present invention, can increase the charging ability of charge system and the real-time that improves charge system.
