Description
Technical field
The present invention relates to the strategy and the charging control technology field of mobile communication, relate in particular to a kind of method for supervising and system of consumption.
Background technology
Third generation partner program (3GPP; 3rd Generation Partnership Project) grouping system (EPS of evolution; Evolved Packet System) by the UMTS land radio access web (E-UTRAN of evolution; Evolved Universal Terrestrial Radio Access Network), mobile management unit (MME; Mobility Management Entity), gateway (S-GW, ServingGateway), grouped data network gateway (P-GW or PDN GW, Packet Data NetworkGateway), home subscriber server (HSS; Home Subscriber Server), the authentication and authorization charging (AAA of 3GPP; Authentication, Authorization and Accounting) server, "Policy and Charging Rules Function entity (PCRF, Policy and Charging Rules Function) and other support nodes are formed.
Fig. 1-the 1st is according to the sketch map of the EPS system architecture of correlation technique; Wherein policy control is controlled (PCC with chargeing; Policy and Charging Control) be a part wherein, each functional entity of PCC can distribute as follows in the EPS framework: PCRF is the "Policy and Charging Rules Function entity, strategy and charging execution function entity (PCEF; Policy and Charging Enforcement Function) is present among the P-GW; Bearing binding and event reporting function entity (BBERF, Bearer Binding and Event ReportFunction) can be present among the S-GW, professional Application Function (AF; Application Function) is present in carrier network agreement (IP; Internet Protocol) business network, user-subscribed database (SPR, Subscription Profile Repository) can be unified with HSS.
In 3GPP, (APN, Access Point Name) can find corresponding PDN network through APN.Usually UE is called an IP connection access network (IP-CAN, IP Connectivity Access Network) session to a connection of PDN network.
PCC is applicable to all 3GPP IP-CAN; Its framework is shown in Fig. 1-2; PCRF mainly is responsible for the formulation of strategy and charging regulation, through the Gx interface PCC strategy and the charging regulation formulated is handed down to PCEF, and PCEF installs, carries out the PCC strategy; And report dependent event, with the mutual charge information of charge system.
PCRF gives BBERF through the Gxx interface with QoS (QoS, Quality of Service) rule downloading, the mutual charge information of BBERF discord charge system, the reporting of only responsible bearing binding and dependent event.AF provides business information through Rx interface to PCRF, and SPR has preserved the business information that the user contracts, and PCRF can be through the Sp interface to the signatory business information of SPR inquiring user.PCEF sends to Online Charging System (OCS through the Gy interface with online charging information; Online ChargingSystem) carries out the statistics of online charging; Through the Gz interface offline charging information is sent to off-line accounting system (OFCS, Offline Charging System).
At present, in the PCC framework, PCRF can dynamically issue the PCC strategy and give PCEF, comprises the information of QoS and charging in the policy information.The business information that the user contracts among bearer related information that the service related information that PCRF provides according to AF, PCEF report and the SPR is formulated the PCC strategy.
PCC has the consumption monitoring function, the consumption in consumption of supervisory user resource in real time and the control billing mechanism.PCRF is provided with and sending threshold value is realized the consumption monitoring to PCEF, to formulate dynamic PCC strategy.PCEF reports current consumption to PCRF receiving when triggering.Existing techniques in realizing is following:
In SPR, preserve user or the professional signatory safe level of user.After the user set up certain IP-CAN session, the SPR safe level of will always contracting was handed down to PCRF.PCRF carries out consumption when control monitoring, and PCRF subscribes to event trigger to PCEF, in the PCC rule or IP-CAN session command level issue the consumption threshold value, PCEF carries out the consumption monitoring.This consumption threshold value can be this PCC rule or IP-CAN session-level.Give the correct time when PCEF monitoring consumption reaches on threshold value, IP-CAN session termination, relevant PCC redundant rule elimination or the PCRF explicit request consumption, PCEF will report resource consumption situation relevant since the last time reports to PCRF.After PCRF receives that consumption from PCEF reports, PCRF will deduct from total consumption and report consumption.If PCEF reports consumption and need proceed monitoring, PCRF will provide new threshold value to PCEF so; If need not to proceed monitoring, PCRF does not provide new threshold value to PCEF.When last IP-CAN session termination of user's a APN, PCRF will preserve the remaining consumption that is allowed in SPR, comprise the total signatory safe level of an APN or through some concrete professional total signatory safe level of this APN visit.
But current consumption monitoring mechanism all is based on the realization of duration or flow, lacks the consumption monitoring function based on incident, can't satisfy some application scenarios.For example operator need be for the professional monitoring of event class, and certain signatory event class set meal user (for example every month 30 yuan of set meals can successfully download the film number be 120 ones) adopts the monitoring of duration and traffic statistics can't realize.For example (audio-visual as up-to-date audio-visual incident weighting is higher than according to the incident statistics of customer service kind implementation differentiation; The incident weighting of important documents class is higher than generic media service profile etc.); The success or not of incident or occurrence frequency etc. are carried out event class monitoring and statistics; Add up as certain class file is downloaded in due order (as, MP3 or multimedia video), or by quantity of documents statistics demand scenes such as (as downloading generic a plurality of audiovisual materials).And present can't support the realization of such demand by the monitoring technique of duration and flow, realize the fine-grained management demand of this event class of operator.Because can't the realization event threshold value issue; The incident consumption report and renewal etc. based on the professional correlation function of event class; Operator can't grasp the user's of signatory event class packaged service current operating position in real time; Carry out the professional management of event class real-time and accurately, can't realize that this is based on the professional consumption monitoring of using of event class.How to realize consumption monitoring function, become the problem that the present invention need solve based on incident.

In the IP-CAN conversation procedure; When PCRF receives an outside or inner triggering, need to initiate an IP-CAN session modification flow process (comprising the change of incident consumption threshold value), then PCRF issues request message to PCEF; Do not explicitly call in this request message and obtain current event; But the relevant information (implicit expression is obtained) of the information that the current event consumption is this request need be obtained, then PCEF reports the current event consumption to give PCRF after receiving request, and PCRF upgrades threshold value with reference to this consumption report information; The IP-CAN session is revised in the request of issuing, and will upgrade threshold band and give PCEF.Each step is described below:
Step 501, PCRF receive an outside or internal trigger, need to initiate an IP-CAN session modification flow process.This triggering maybe be from SPR, AF, PCEF or PCRF itself, and for example the incident consumption of PCEF monitoring reaches the threshold value that CAMEL-Subscription-Information change among the incident consumption threshold value that is provided with in advance, relevant PCC redundant rule elimination, the SPR, PCRE be provided with and changes.The threshold value change comprises lifting, reduction or deletion and newly-increased certain threshold value of certain existing threshold value.
Step 502, PCRF are to PCEF send a request message (like Diameter RAR); Do not explicitly call in the request message and obtain the current event consumption; But current consumption belongs to the relevant information of obtaining requirement; Implicit expression is obtained current consumption, i.e. the information that this request need be obtained can be described with this incident consumption.
In this step; PCRF sends the solicited message of the related information related with the incident consumption to PCEF; Wherein the descriptor of this related information comprises said incident consumption, for example, and user employed business and the consumption that each professional of request PCEF report of user after this inserts.
Step 503, PCEF return response message (like Diameter RAA) to PCRF, with going up the current incident consumption of this IP-CAN session.
For example, when receiving the consumption of employed business of report of user and business, PCEF reports corresponding consumption according to the monitored results of this locality, monitors because the monitoring of PCEF comprises based on incident, so can report the incident consumption of this incident.
Need to prove that the related information in the implicit expression obtain manner can be the summary information that is used to summarize this incident consumption here, like consumption of the whole set meals of user etc.; Also can be that some are the trigger message of controlled condition with the incident consumption; For example require PCEF when the incident consumption reaches particular value, the business that report of user is using is in case PCRF receives the employed business of user; Can confirm that then this incident consumption reaches particular value, thereby obtain current incident consumption.
Step 504, PCRF receive response message, upgrade threshold value with reference to current event consumption report, send a request message (like Diameter RAR) to PCEF, revise the IP-CAN session, issue the consumption threshold value after the renewal.
Step 505, PCEF return response message (like Diameter RAA), the threshold value behind the storage update to PCRF.
Step 506, continuation flow are handled.
Need to prove that for embodiment two and three, requiring PCEF to report consumption information with PCRF in the conversation procedure is that example describes; But being not limited thereto, can also be that PCEF independently reports to PCRF, for example; Detecting the PCC rule changes; Perhaps, when the current event consumption reaches the incident consumption threshold value that is provided with in advance, can initiatively report to PCRF.
Embodiment four
