Abstract
The invention relates to a method and device for network charging. The invention is realized in a way that: within a certain charging cycle, a time-based charging mode and a flow rate-based charging mode are used at the same time; and a charging system compares the network flow rate value within a certain time period with a threshold, and determines whether time-based charging or flow rate-based charging is used in the time period according to the comparison result. The method and the device can be used for accurately reflecting the comprehensive service condition and service efficiency of the network technically, and can promote users to relatively reasonably use the network, so that the network loads can be relatively balanced, thereby providing technical basis (support) for network access providers to make reasonable network planning and network construction; and the users can use the network more flexibly, fairly and reasonably. According to the invention, the threshold for the use of the network is greatly lowered and the development of network application is promoted, thereby forming favorable interactions with operators.

Background technology
Present stage, use that the charging of network is general uses two kinds of methods, a kind ofly be charge on time, only with service time length relevant, irrelevant with flow, another kind of for pressing flow charging, with service time length have nothing to do.Accordingly, charge system is also fairly simple, for charge on time, and the time started that only needs the each network of record to connect, the concluding time, and will be added to the service time counter time difference and get final product.For pressing flow charging, only need be added to the use traffic counter to the flow value of each use and get final product.
The shortcoming of these two kinds of charging ways is that the former may cause using Internet resources in the interval when bag unlimitedly, causes the crowded even interruption of instantaneous network, and the p2p a large amount of as present monthly payment user uses (video request program is downloaded etc.); Though the latter has avoided the uncontrolled of network use, but the control of rate is cumbersome, widely different between the user, and exist a large amount of non-users to need information (as advertisement, flash image etc.) in the flow of present based on network content, this causes based on the user of flow less relatively, and usage frequency is also fewer, as 2G, and 3G wireless network etc., expense is extremely expensive, obviously unreasonable.
For these reasons, existing charging way, effective use to network is very unfavorable, Network Access Provider can not use effective network bandwidth resources to obtain effective income to greatest extent, and the user can not obtain the suitable network addressing means with rational expense, causes the result of lose-lose.

Description of drawings:
Fig. 1: charging way schematic diagram of the present invention, reference axis transverse axis are the time, and vertical pivot is flow (in each chronomere), and timeslice unit is 1, and the flow threshold values is 100, and between the time 1.5-3.5, network traffics surpass threshold values among the figure, and other times are zero.
Charging way one shows among the figure be real-time status charge on time/by the flow dividing condition;
Charging way two shows among the figure be when optimizing charging way (flow is maximized coupling) charging on time/press the flow dividing condition;
The supposition threshold values is the rate of unit interval correspondence flow value of equal value among the figure
Below, in conjunction with specific embodiments method of the present invention is described further.
Concrete enforcement
Method of the present invention, can also further specify with the embodiment shown in the figure one, in this fact Example, if we calculate in traditional separate clocking mode, so, we will obtain the time timing of 5 units, if and with the computational methods of simple flow, we will obtain the flow of about 500 units so, according to threshold values, being converted into chronomere is 5
And according to charging way 1 of the present invention, because flow is lower than threshold values between time 0-1 and the 4-5, and between the time 1-4 flow greater than threshold values, so, charge by flow between time 0-1 and the 4-5, be 0, charged according to time between the time 1-4, timing length is 3, that is to say, by charging way 1 of the present invention, total timing is 3 chronomeres, than the expense of independent duration or charge on traffic saving 40%.
And adopt charging way 2 of the present invention, because the flow between the time 1.5-3.5 just can mate fully with two time windows, like this, total timing will reduce to 2, than the expense of independent duration or charge on traffic saving 60%.
From the embodiment of charging way 2 as can be seen, when flow is maximized coupling, need it with the integer multiple of timeslice the time started of match window.
Because existing network charge system uses data handling system to carry out, so method and apparatus of the present invention can be transformed existing charge system and implement very easily basically.
Method and apparatus of the present invention relatively is fit to wireless network and charges, the situation of the shared wireless channel of especially a plurality of users, and as 2Q, 3G and its follow-up wireless network.
In the present invention, the interval between the charge cycle refers generally to pay the fees for twice is in the actual application, the charge cycle is generally much larger than the length of timeslice, as domestic existing network billing, be the basic charge cycle mostly with the moon, and timeslice mostly with minute or second be unit.
And,, in this case, can set a charge cycle because it pays rate that prestore for button in real time for the application of pre-payment, obtain optimization possible under the non real-time charging way with this.
Generally speaking, incremental mode is chargeed and to be done more in the charging of back way of paying, and the surplus mode then is applied to pre-payment or set meal mode, and is certain, in actual use, this dual mode can in conjunction with.
At last, the present invention can also be used for other Fare Collection Systems based on flow (content)/time and charge, as news, information etc.
Method and apparatus of the present invention generally is implemented on the Network Access Provider end, certainly, holds enforcement the terminal use, understands the situation of oneself using network for the user, also has certain meaning.
