According to 3GPP agreement regulation, CAMEL (Customised Applications for Mobilenetwork Enhanced Logic; The mobile network strengthens the customization of logic and uses) when the user uses terminal equipment separation and the deexcitation of PDP (packet data protocol) context, SGSN at first reports DP (Detection Point monitoring point) to SCP (service business control point), as Detach (burble point) or Disconnect (breakpoint).If SCP need apply for reporting AC (Apply Charging), then SGSN also need report total communication flows by ACR (Apply Charging Report), after described SGSN handles above-mentioned flow process, discharges interface-free resources again.The communication flows that described SCP reports according to described SGSN carries out cost of the phone call and calculates.
The technical scheme of prior art one related to the present invention as shown in Figure 1, comprising:
Step 1, the user initiates separation process, sends Detach Request (detach request) message informing SGSN by MS.
Step 2, described SGSN adheres to the activation situation at the user, initiates deletion PDP Context flow process to GGSN (GGSN).
Step 3, in the C1 monitoring point, SGSN is to the communication flows information of SCP report PDP Context deletion event and PDP Context.
Step 4, described SGSN adheres to the activation situation at the user, initiates IMSI and/or GPRS separation indication flow process to MSC/VLR (mobile switching centre/Visited Location Registor).
Step 5, in the C2 monitoring point, SGSN is to the communication flows information of SCP report user's departure event and SESSION (GPRS session).
Step 6, after described SGSN handled above-mentioned flow process, described SGSN sent to separate to MS and accepts message.
Step 7 discharges the PS signaling and connects, and simultaneously minus flow is reported SGSN in this process.
Through after the above-mentioned steps, described SCP can receive the communication flows information that described SGSN reports, and afterwards, carries out cost of the phone call according to described communication flows information and calculates.
The prior art two relevant with the present invention as shown in Figure 2, comprising:
Step 1, the user initiates the PDP context deactivation flow process, by Deactivate PDP ContextRequest (request of deexcitation PDP Context) message informing SGSN.
Step 2, in the C1 monitoring point, SGSN is to the communication flows information of SCP report PDP Context deletion event and PDP Context.
Step 3, SGSN initiates deletion PDP Context flow process to GGSN.
Step 4 after described SGSN handles above-mentioned flow process, sends Deactivate PDPContext Accept (acceptance of deexcitation PDP Context) message to MS.
Step 5, Radio Access Bearer (RAB; RAB) discharge (Release), simultaneously minus flow is reported SGSN in this process.
Through after the above-mentioned steps, described SCP can receive the communication flows information that described SGSN reports, and afterwards, carries out cost of the phone call according to described communication flows information and calculates.
By the technical scheme of above-mentioned prior art as can be seen, when described SGSN reports communication flows information to behind the described SCP in the monitoring point, described SCP can get access to the communication flows of user's communication, yet, after the PS signaling connects release, or when RAB Assignment Response (RAB response) or IU Release Complete (indication discharges and finishes), all may have minus flow, these minus flows can't be reported to described SCP, therefore, prior art can not accurately be chargeed to user's practical communication flow, promptly as described SCP during to charging communication flow, can't deduct the expense that these minus flows cause, therefore cause easily the user is chargeed more, and then influence user's rights and interests.
