Specifically, after the access request of receiving from certificate server, accounting server is searched current QoS, and replys current QoS notification authentication server by access.Under the situation of the aaa protocol that uses between certificate server and the accounting server as Diameter, above-mentioned access is replied and can be carried by CCA (Init) message that defines in the Diameter.
In addition, in the specific implementation process, carry the service use amount quota (Quota) that accounting server distributes for the user toward contact during above-mentioned access is replied, this service use amount quota is and allows the nonrecoverable maximum service use amount of user.In the specific implementation process, above-mentioned service use amount quota can be data traffic or duration etc.
Specifically, receive reply from the access of accounting server after, certificate server will store insert reply in the current QoS of indication.In addition, certificate server can be replied by login and be notified access server with current QoS.It should be noted that storage mentioned above is interpreted as interim storage, promptly Cun Chu current service quality will certified server deletion behind user offline.Under the situation of the aaa protocol that uses between certificate server and the access server as the Radius agreement, above-mentioned login is replied and can be carried by the ACCESS-ACCEPT message that defines in the Radius agreement.
In addition, in the specific implementation process, during replying, above-mentioned login comprises the service use amount quota that above-mentioned access is carried in replying toward contact.
Specifically, receive reply from the login of certificate server after, access server just begins to provide access service to the user.In the process of service is provided, if the service use amount quota that access server discovery user's service use amount arrival login is carried in replying, then access server can send service request to certificate server, wherein, carries user's service use amount in this service request.Access server adopts the mode of this transmission service request to report the service use amount to certificate server, also applies for new service use amount quota simultaneously.Under the situation of the aaa protocol that uses between access server and the certificate server as the Radius agreement, above-mentioned service request can be carried by the ONLINE ACCESS-REQUEST message that defines in the Radius agreement.
Specifically, after the service request of receiving from access server, certificate server can generate a quota request according to this server requests, and this quota request is sent to accounting server, wherein, comprise the service use amount of carrying in the above-mentioned service request in this quota request.Under the situation of the aaa protocol that uses between certificate server and the accounting server as Diameter, above-mentioned quota request can be carried by CCR (UPDATE) message that defines in the Diameter.
Specifically, when the quota request of receiving from certificate server, accounting server can upgrade the service accumulation use amount of current service quality correspondence according to the service use amount that comprises in this quota request.After this, when judging the specified use amount of service of the service accumulation use amount no show current service still quality correspondence after upgrading, it is QoS1 notification authentication server that accounting server is replied the current service quality by quota.Under the situation of the aaa protocol that uses between accounting server and the certificate server as Diameter, above-mentioned quota is replied and can be carried by CCA (UPDATE) message that defines in the Diameter.
In addition, accounting server also can charge to the user according to the service use amount that comprises in the quota request.Simultaneously, accounting server also can be for the user distributes new service use amount quota, and should serve the use amount quota and be included in quota and mail to certificate server in replying.
Specifically, receiving when replying from the quota of accounting server, the current QoS of indicating during certificate server can be replied quota is that the current QoS of QoS1 and storage compares, when the current QoS of finding current QoS that quota is indicated in replying and storage is identical, determine that the current QoS that need not on the access server adjusts.In this case, certificate server can return service response to access server, and carries the service use amount quota that above-mentioned quota comprises in replying in service response.Under the situation of the aaa protocol that uses between certificate server and the access server as the Radius agreement, above-mentioned service response can be carried by the ONLINE ACCESS-RESPONSE message that defines in the Radius agreement.
Step 318, access server sends ONLINE ACCESS-REQUEST message to certificate server.
Specifically, after the service response of receiving from certificate server, access server continues to provide access service to the user.In the process of service is provided, if access server is found user's service use amount and is arrived the service use amount quota of carrying in the service response, then access server can send service request to certificate server once more, wherein, carries user's service use amount in this service request.As indicated above, access server adopts the mode of this transmission service request to report the service use amount to certificate server, also applies for new service use amount quota simultaneously.
As indicated above, after the service request of receiving from access server, certificate server can generate a quota request according to this server requests, and this quota request is sent to accounting server, wherein, comprise the service use amount of carrying in the above-mentioned service request in this quota request.
As indicated above, when the quota request of receiving from certificate server, accounting server can upgrade the service accumulation use amount of current service quality correspondence according to the service use amount that comprises in this quota request.After this, when judging the specified use amount of service of the service accumulation use amount arrival current service quality correspondence after upgrading, accounting server can upgrade the current service quality, and replys the current service quality notification authentication server after upgrading by quota.In the present embodiment, the current service quality after the renewal is QoS2.The for example access bandwidth that QoS2 can corresponding 512K, and the specified use amount of the service of 1G.
In addition, as indicated above, accounting server also can charge to the user according to the service use amount that comprises in the quota request.Simultaneously, accounting server also can be for the user distributes new service use amount quota, and should serve the use amount quota and be included in quota and mail to certificate server in replying.
Specifically, receiving when replying from the quota of accounting server, the current QoS during certificate server can be replied quota after the renewal of indication and the current QoS of storage compare, the current QoS in the discovery quota is replied after the renewal of indication and the current QoS of storage are determined and need be adjusted the current QoS on the access server not simultaneously.At this moment, the current QoS during certificate server is replied according to quota after the renewal of indication is upgraded the current QoS of storage, and the current QoS after will upgrading by the service quality notice of change is notified access server.Under the situation of the aaa protocol that uses between certificate server and the access server as the Radius agreement, above-mentioned service quality notice of change can carry by the CoA message that defines in the Radius agreement.
In addition, the certificate server service use amount quota of carrying in also quota can being replied is sent to access server.
In concrete application process, method 300 shown in Figure 3 can be considered method 100 shown in Figure 1 and the specific implementation of method 200 under the pre-payment scene shown in Figure 2.Specifically, 300 pairs of methods shown in Figure 1 of method 100 shown in Figure 3 have been carried out more specifically explanation.More specifically, method 100 shown in Figure 1 is embodied as step 318～324 in method 300, and step 318～324 can further reduce: steps A, accounting server receives the quota request that certificate server reports according to the service request from access server, wherein, comprise the service use amount that is carried in the service request in the quota request; Step B, accounting server upgrades the service accumulation use amount of current service quality correspondence according to the service use amount; Step C, accounting server upgrades the current service quality when judging the specified use amount of service of the service accumulation use amount arrival current service quality correspondence after upgrading; Step D, accounting server reply by quota and notify described certificate server with the current service quality after upgrading, so that the current service quality of described certificate server after will upgrading by the service quality notice of change notified described access server.Be not difficult to find out the step 102 in the steps A corresponding method 100, the step 104 in the step B corresponding method 100, and the step 106 in the step C corresponding method 100, the step 108 in the step D corresponding method 100 thus.
In addition, method 300 also remarks additionally to method 100.For example, step 302 in the method 300～308 couple user's login process is described, this login process can reduce, before receiving quota request, accounting server receives the access request that certificate server reports according to the logging request from access server, reply current service quality notification authentication server by access, so that authentication server stores current service quality and reply current service quality notice access server by login.Wherein, the purpose of authentication server stores current service quality is, receiving when replying from the charging of accounting server, the service quality that certificate server need be replied charging indicated service quality and storage compares, and just can determine whether charging to be replied indicated service quality notice access server.Specifically, reply indicated service quality when being different from the service quality of storage, determine charging to be replied indicated service quality notice access server, otherwise do not need to notify access server when certificate server judge to charge.It should be noted that authentication server stores current service quality is an optional step.In other implementations such as current service quality when accounting server only just issues renewal when the current service quality need be upgraded after, certificate server need not to store the current service quality, and related content will be described in detail hereinafter.In conjunction with above-mentioned login process, above-mentioned steps D is embodied as in method 300, accounting server is replied the current service quality notification authentication server after upgrading by quota, so that when the current service quality after certificate server upgrades in the judgement quota is replied is different from the current service quality of storage, the current service quality of the current service quality updated stored after upgrading in replying according to quota, and the current service quality after will upgrading by the service quality notice of change is notified access server.In addition, step 310～316 pair need not to revise that the operation of accounting server and certificate server is described in the situation of QoS, this operation can reduce, accounting server is replied by quota and is notified described certificate server with the current service quality, and certificate server is being judged current service quality and the current service of storage when identical in quality of quota in replying, need not the current service quality of the current service quality updated stored of replying, the current service quality notice access server in also need not quota to be replied by the service quality notice of change according to quota.
Simultaneously, 300 pairs of methods shown in Figure 2 of method 200 shown in Figure 3 have been carried out more specifically explanation.Specifically, method 200 shown in Figure 2 is embodied as step 318～324 in method 300, and step 318～324 can further reduce: step e, authentication server response is from the service request of access server, send quota request to accounting server, wherein, comprise the described service use amount that is carried in the described service request in the described quota request; Step F, reply the current service quality of the renewal of returning when the service accumulation use amount of the described accounting server of described authentication server response after judge upgrading arrives the specified use amount of service of described current service quality correspondence by quota, notify described access server with the current service quality of upgrading by the service quality notice of change.Be not difficult to find out the step 202 in the step e corresponding method 200, and the step 204 in the step F corresponding method 200 thus.
In addition, method 300 also remarks additionally to method 200.For example, step 302 in the method 300～308 couple user's login process is described, and this login process can reduce, before receiving service request, certificate server receives the logging request from access server, sends the request of access to accounting server; Described certificate server receives and replys from the access of accounting server, the current service quality that storage comprises in inserting and replying, and reply current service quality notice access server by login.Wherein, the current service quality that storage comprises in inserting and replying is an optional step, and this will be described in detail hereinafter.In conjunction with above-mentioned login process, above-mentioned steps F is embodied as in method 300, when the current service quality of the renewal of certificate server in the judgement quota is replied is different from the current service quality of storage, according to the current service quality of the current service quality updated stored of the renewal of described quota in replying, and the current service quality of the renewal in by the service quality notice of change described quota being replied is notified described access server.In addition, step 310～316 pair need not to revise that the operation of accounting server and certificate server is described in the situation of QoS, this operation can reduce, accounting server is replied by quota and is notified described certificate server with the current service quality, and certificate server is being judged current service quality and the current service of storage when identical in quality of quota in replying, need not the current service quality of the current service quality updated stored of replying, the current service quality notice access server in also need not quota to be replied by the service quality notice of change according to quota.
Although it should be noted that in signaling diagram shown in Figure 3, the aaa protocol that adopts between access server and the certificate server is the Radius agreement, and those skilled in the art should be understood that the aaa protocol that also can adopt other, for example Diameter.In like manner, although in signaling diagram shown in Figure 3, the aaa protocol that adopts between certificate server and the accounting server is a Diameter, and those skilled in the art should be understood that the aaa protocol that also can adopt other, for example Radius agreement.Therefore, the scope of protection of present invention is not subjected to the restriction of the concrete aaa protocol that adopts among Fig. 3.
In addition, although in signaling diagram shown in Figure 3, the current service quality just is updated to QoS2 from QoS1, but those skilled in the art is understood that, in the specific implementation process, the current service quality can take place with user's service use amount repeatedly to change, and promptly stipulates the specified use amount of service and the corresponding service quality of different brackets.In like manner, although in signaling diagram shown in Figure 3, it is ONLINE ACCESS-REQUEST that access server has only sent twice service request to certificate server, but those skilled in the art is understood that, in the specific implementation process, the transmission number of times of service request can constantly increase with user's service use amount.Therefore, the scope of protection of present invention is not subjected to the QoS change frequency of volume among Fig. 3 and the restriction of service request number of times.
In method shown in Figure 3 300, certificate server and the not responsible quality of services for users information of storing in advance, but in process of user login, obtain user's current service quality information the access that sends from accounting server is replied and store temporarily, wherein, the current service quality of this interim storage will be deleted by certificate server when user offline.In this case, certificate server only needs the quality of service information of interim storage login user, and need not to store each quality of services for users information.Owing to compare each quality of services for users information of storage, it is much smaller only to store the required memory space of the quality of service information of login user, therefore is understood that in scheme shown in Figure 3, certificate server need not to dispose bigger memory space.In addition, because the quality of service information of storage is less relatively, therefore when searching quality of services for users information, seek rate is very fast.
In addition, in method shown in Figure 3 300, in the quota that accounting server sends is replied, all carry the current service quality information, and certificate server be the current service quality of carrying in replying by quota relatively with the current service quality of interim storage between the similarities and differences, determine whether to access server transmission service quality notice of change.As optionally, certificate server also can need not the similarities and differences between the current service quality of current service quality that the comparison quota carries in replying and interim storage, but the current service quality notice access server that carries in directly by the service quality notice of change quota being replied.Be understood that in this case, certificate server need not to store the current service quality temporarily.Certainly, accounting server also can be only when the current service quality takes place to upgrade, in quota is replied, carry the current service quality information after the renewal.In this case, certificate server is when the quality of service information of finding after quota carries renewal in replying, and the quality of service information after just directly will upgrading by the service quality notice of change is notified access server.Be understood that in the time of in this case, certificate server also need not to store the current service quality temporarily.Below just this situation is described in detail in conjunction with Fig. 4.
Fig. 4 is the exemplary signaling diagram according to the method for controlling quality of service 400 of one embodiment of the invention.Method shown in Figure 4 400 is similar with method 300 shown in Figure 3, when difference only is that the user logins the advice method of current service quality and upgrade after the advice method of current service quality.
Specifically, be different from method shown in Figure 3 300, be used for carrying and insert above-mentioned CCA (Init) message of replying and only carry the service use amount quota of accounting server, and can not carry user's current service quality for user's distribution.
Specifically, the certificate server service use amount quota of carrying during access is replied is encapsulated in and is used for carrying the ACCESS-ACCEPT message that login replys and mails to access server.Simultaneously, also carry the current service quality of storing in the certificate server during this login is replied.In the present embodiment, the current service quality is QoS1.
Be different from method shown in Figure 3 300, in method shown in Figure 4 400, in process of user login, certificate server does not need to obtain from accounting server user's current service quality, but with the user's of self storage current service quality notice access server.Certificate server is stored in the process of user login current service quality from accounting server temporarily in the phase ratio method 300, certificate server is with longer-term storage user's current service quality in the method 400, specifically, only when user's cancellation, the user's who stores in the certificate server current service quality just can be deleted.Thus, in process of user login, certificate server just need not to obtain from accounting server user's current service quality, and only needs the current service quality notice access server with self storage.
Specifically, when the CCR that is used to carry quota request (UPDATE) message of receiving from certificate server, accounting server can upgrade the service accumulation use amount of current service quality correspondence according to the service use amount that comprises in this quota request.After this, during the specified use amount of service of the service accumulation use amount no show current service still quality correspondence after judge upgrading, accounting server need not by being used to carry CCA (UPDATE) message that quota replys with current service quality notification authentication server.At this moment, accounting server only needs for the user distributes new service use amount quota, and should serve the use amount quota and be included in quota and mail to certificate server in replying.
In addition, as indicated above, accounting server also can charge to the user according to the service use amount that comprises in the quota request.
Specifically, receiving when replying from the quota of accounting server, certificate server can check whether quota comprises current QoS in replying.When certificate server was not found current QoS in quota is replied, identification did not need the current QoS of self storage is upgraded.In this case, the ONLINE ACCESS-RESPONSE message that is used for carrying service response is only carried the service use amount quota that above-mentioned quota comprises in replying.
Step 418, access server sends ONLINE ACCESS-REQUEST message to certificate server.
As indicated above, when the quota request of receiving from certificate server, accounting server can upgrade the service accumulation use amount of current service quality correspondence according to the service use amount that comprises in this quota request.After this, when judging the specified use amount of service of the service accumulation use amount arrival current service quality correspondence after upgrading, accounting server can upgrade the current service quality, and replys the current service quality notification authentication server after upgrading by quota.In the present embodiment, the current service quality after the renewal is QoS2.
In addition, as indicated above, accounting server also can charge to the user according to the service use amount that comprises in the quota request.Simultaneously, accounting server also can be for the user distributes new service use amount quota, and should serve the use amount quota and be included in quota and mail to certificate server in replying.
Specifically, receiving when replying from the quota of accounting server, certificate server can check whether quota comprises current QoS in replying.When certificate server is found current QoS in quota is replied, assert that this current QoS is the current QoS after upgrading, therefore, the current QoS after the renewal that certificate server comprises in can replying according to quota is upgraded the current QoS of self storage.In addition, the current QoS after certificate server can will upgrade by the CoA message that is used for the bearer quality of service notice of change mails to access server.
In concrete application process, method 400 shown in Figure 4 can be considered method 100 shown in Figure 1 and the specific implementation of method 200 under the pre-payment scene shown in Figure 2.By method 400 as can be known, compare method shown in Figure 3 300, the advice method of method 400 current service quality when the user logins shown in Figure 4 and upgrade after these two of the advice methods of current service quality aspect improve.Specifically, in method shown in Figure 3 300, in process of user login, certificate server is to reply from accounting server by access request and access to obtain the current service quality, and with current service quality notice access server.Simultaneously, the current service quality that certificate server needs interim storage to obtain from accounting server, the current service quality of this interim storage will be deleted by certificate server when user offline.And in method shown in Figure 4 400, in process of user login, certificate server is notified access server with the current service quality of self storage, and need not to obtain from accounting server.At this moment, the current service quality of storing in the certificate server will be deleted when user's cancellation, but not when user offline, deleting of describing in the method 300.Therefore, certificate server is interpreted as interim storage to the storage of current service quality in method 300, and certificate server is interpreted as longer-term storage to the storage of current service quality in the method 400.On the other hand, in method shown in Figure 3 300, accounting server all carries the current service quality in the quota of at every turn returning is replied, and no matter whether this current service quality is upgraded.In this case, current service quality during certificate server need be replied quota is compared with the current service quality of interim storage, could judge whether the current service quality is upgraded, and when taking place to upgrade, with the current service quality notice access server after upgrading, and the current service quality of upgrading interim storage.And in method shown in Figure 4 400, only when the current service quality took place to upgrade, the current service quality after just will upgrading was by quota answer notification certificate server for accounting server.And certificate server is when finding that quota carries the current service quality in replying, assert that this current service quality is the current service quality after upgrading, therefore according to the current service quality after this renewal the current service quality of storage is upgraded, and the notice of the current service quality after will upgrading access server.
Should note, although compare method shown in Figure 3 300, variation has all taken place aspect the advice method two of the current service quality after the advice method of method 400 current service quality when the user logins shown in Figure 4 and the renewal, but those skilled in the art is understood that, in the specific implementation process, should select suitable scheme according to concrete needs, and should not only limit to the described mode of Fig. 3 and Fig. 4.For example, can be on the basis of method shown in Figure 3 300, the advice method of current service quality was revised as mode shown in Figure 4 when the user was logined.In this case, certificate server will be to store the current service quality no longer only temporarily, but need longer-term storage current service quality.Again for example, can be on the basis of method shown in Figure 3 300, the advice method of the current service quality after upgrading is revised as mode shown in Figure 4.In this case, accounting server is only when the current service quality take place to be upgraded, and the current service quality after just will upgrading is carried at during quota replys.Accordingly, certificate server also only is when finding the current service quality from quota is replied, assert that just this current service quality is the current service quality after upgrading, therefore the current service quality notice access server after the current service quality of storage being upgraded and will be upgraded, and the current service quality of the current service quality of carrying in need not again quota to be replied and self storage compares, and determines whether sending current service quality after upgrading to access server according to the similarities and differences of comparative result.
Be understood that, compare method shown in Figure 3 300, in method shown in Figure 4 400, certificate server need not when receiving that quota is replied at every turn, the current service quality of the current service quality that comprises in all quota being replied and self storage compares, so method 400 helps to reduce the processing burden of certificate server.
Under Fig. 3 and pre-payment scene shown in Figure 4, the difference that accounting server can be between service accumulation use amount and the specified use amount of service is during less than the use amount threshold value that sets in advance, judges that described service accumulates use amount and arrive the specified use amount of described service.

Step 502, access server sends ACCESS-REQUEST message to certificate server.
As indicated above, when the user asked access network, access server can send a logging request to certificate server, with the request authentication server user is authenticated.Under the situation of the aaa protocol that uses between access server and the certificate server as the Radius agreement, above-mentioned logging request can be carried by the ACCESS-REQUEST message that defines in the Radius agreement.
Step 504, certificate server sends ACCESS-ACCEPT message to access server.
Specifically, after the logging request of receiving from access server, certificate server can authenticate the user of request login.Behind authentication success, certificate server can send a login to access server and reply, and wherein, carries user's current service quality during this login is replied.Be understood that, in this case, need longer-term storage user's current service quality in the certificate server.Under the situation of the aaa protocol that uses between certificate server and the access server as the Radius agreement, above-mentioned login is replied and can be carried by the ACCESS-ACCEPT message that defines in the Radius agreement.
As optionally, after the logging request of receiving from access server, certificate server also can report the request of access to accounting server according to this logging request.Subsequently, accounting server is replied current service quality notification authentication server by access.After this, certificate server is replied by login and is notified described access server with described current service quality.Be understood that, in this case, need not longer-term storage user's current service quality in the certificate server.
Step 506, access server sends Offiline Account (offline charging) message to certificate server.
Specifically, after user's login, access server is regularly sending the service use amount to certificate server when prebilling in the cycle.Under the situation of the aaa protocol that uses between certificate server and the access server as the Radius agreement, access server can send the service use amount to certificate server by the Offiline Account message that defines in the Radius agreement.
Should note, although access server only sends an Offiline Account message to certificate server in Fig. 5, but those skilled in the art should be understood that and working as prebilling in the cycle that access server can regularly send the service use amount to certificate server.Be understood that concrete transmission number of times depends on the concrete transmission cycle.Therefore the claimed scope of the embodiment of the invention is not subjected to the restriction of the concrete transmission number of times of Offiline Account message among Fig. 5.
Step 508, the service use amount that certificate server will be worked as the prebilling cycle by File Transfer Protocol is sent to accounting server.
Specifically, the service use amount that certificate server obtains in the service use amount statistics that regularly reports in the cycle when prebilling according to access server when the prebilling cycle, and will work as the service use amount in prebilling cycle by File Transfer Protocol and be sent to accounting server.In the specific implementation process,, the service use amount of prebilling in the cycle be sent to accounting server when can adopting the form of CDR (charging data record, Charging Data Recording).
Step 510, the current service quality notification authentication server after accounting server will upgrade.
Specifically, receive from certificate server when the service use amount in prebilling cycle the time, accounting server can upgrade the service accumulation use amount of current service quality correspondence according to the service use amount of deserving the prebilling cycle.After this, when judging the specified use amount of service of the service accumulation use amount arrival current service quality correspondence after upgrading, accounting server can upgrade the current service quality, and the current service quality notification authentication server after will upgrading.In the specific implementation process, the current service quality after accounting server can will upgrade by soap protocol sends to certificate server.
Specifically, when receiving from the current service quality after the renewal of accounting server, certificate server can send the service quality notice of change to access server, so that the notice of the current service quality after will upgrading access server.Under the situation of the aaa protocol that uses between certificate server and the access server as the Radius agreement, above-mentioned service quality notice of change can carry by the CoA message that defines in the Radius agreement.
Should note, although in method shown in Figure 5 500, use the service use amount of File Transfer Protocol transmission between certificate server and the accounting server when the prebilling cycle, but those skilled in the art should be understood that and also can use other agreements to transmit the service use amount in current service cycle between certificate server and the accounting server.Therefore, the claimed scope of the embodiment of the invention is not subjected to the restriction of the File Transfer Protocol shown in the method 500.In like manner, although in method shown in Figure 5 500, accounting server uses the current service quality after soap protocol will upgrade to send to certificate server, but but those skilled in the art should be understood that accounting server also use agreement the current service quality after upgrading is sent to certificate server.Therefore, the claimed scope of the embodiment of the invention is not subjected to the restriction of the soap protocol shown in the method 500.
