For ease of understanding, be described in detail below in conjunction with the specific implementation process of accompanying drawing to the embodiment of the invention to the embodiment of the invention.
At first, be example with PDSN as gateway device, PDSN is obtained MDN from radius server, and the processing procedure that passes to service processing equipments such as OCS or GW describes.Specifically be the defective of not obtaining the interface of MDN at PDSN in the 3GPP2 agreement in this embodiment, proposed to make PDSN obtain MDN accordingly from radius server, and focus on the implementation of the conversion of MDN, thereby overcome the problem that prior art exists by PDSN.
As shown in Figure 4, the PDSN processing procedure of obtaining MDN comprises:
Step 1, PDSN sends Access Request (inserting request) message to user's ownership radius server, is carrying user's IMSI (international mobile subscriber identity) in the message;
In this step, also can carry information such as MIN or IRM in the described message, at this moment, described ownership radius server will be determined corresponding Subscriber Number according to this MIN or IRM;
Promptly in the authentication process of user-network access, PDSN can send a request message by the ownership radius server to the user, with acquisition request user's MDN;
Step 2, PDSN obtains MDN information by Access Accept (admission confirm) message from described user's ownership radius server;
Be specifically as follows: after described radius server receives the request message that PDSN sends, confirm this user's MDN, and the MDN that confirms is returned to PDSN according to the IMSI in the message;
After PDSN obtains described MDN, then can Dynamic Maintenance IP address or IMSI to the mapping relations (being the corresponding relation between IP address or IMSI and the MDN) of MDN, so that can a certain user's MDN be sent to corresponding service processing equipment according to the needs of Business Processing, as OCS or WAP GW, or the like;
Need to prove, when this user moves back net, then delete the mapping relations that PDSN goes up the MDN maintenance that is this user, thereby can save the storage of PDSN and taking of processing resource.
As shown in Figure 5, after PDSN was safeguarding described corresponding relation, then PDSN comprised by the processing procedure of OCS application pre-payment quota:
Step 1, when PDSN applied for the pre-payment quota by OCS, (the credit control request CCR) was applied for to OCS in the signaling then directly MDN to be taken to CreditControl Request;
Step 2 after OCS receives described CCR signaling, directly utilizes the MDN that carries in the CCR signaling to SCP (service control point) request pre-payment quota, specifically can be the corresponding pre-payment quota of unit request with the currency;
Step 3 after SCP receives described CCR signaling, for this MDN determines corresponding pre-payment quota, and is passed through CCA (credit control is accepted) transmitting signaling downwards and is given OCS;
Step 4 after OCS receives the CCA signaling that SCP issues, continues the described signaling that comprises the pre-payment quota is transmitted to PDSN, thereby realizes the application processing procedure of whole pre-payment quota.
As can be seen, in above-mentioned processing procedure, need on OCS, not make the conversion process of MDN, be that OCS need not the MDN to radius server acquisition request user again, both improved the treatment effeciency of pre-payment quota application, can reduce the burden of radius server again, avoid OCS to go up the overhead of safeguarding and changing MDN simultaneously.
Be example with WAP GW as service processing equipment again, the processing procedure of then applying for the pre-payment quota accordingly specifically can comprise as shown in Figure 6:
