Inserting of microwave global network (WiMAX) is a kind of wireless metropolitan area network technology based on IEEE 802.16 standards.WiMAX cellular logic framework mainly is made up of three parts, i.e. client (MSS/SS), accessing business network (ASN) and be connected service network (CSN) as shown in Figure 1.Wherein, ASN is defined as the network function set that the wireless access service is provided for the WiMAX terminal, and ASN has comprised BS and ASN-GW network element.
Fig. 2 is a WIMAX charge system configuration diagram, the user logins, visits and exit network in certain accounting access mode according to network requirement, charging point is initiated charging message automatically according to the subscriber network access situation, and accounting server receives charging message and generates the bill of user's correspondence according to charging message.From this angle, it is transparent chargeing to the user, surfs the Net automatically from the user, to the off line automatic end of user.
The protocol stack of above-mentioned each entity as shown in Figure 3, generally speaking, charging point is access server NAS or BAS (can certainly be the RAS of other simplification, as LAN Switch, AP, CMTS or the like), it automatically the perception user login, action exits network.Accounting server generally is an aaa server, can use radius protocol, also can use other agreements (typical in internal agreement, TACACS, DIAMETER etc.),
Described radius protocol is the disclosed aaa protocol of current popular.AAA is the abbreviation of authorizing (Authorization), charge (Authentication) and chargeing (Accounting).
Because RADIUS is disclosed standard agreement, therefore and other proprietary protocols different, in use all manufacturers can be easy to butt joint and intercommunication, be in the present network openly, de facto standard, can between any Anywhere manufacturer in the whole world, carry out intercommunication.
Radius protocol adopts client/server (Client/Server) structure, adopts UDP as host-host protocol.The client of RADIUS is normally operated on the access server, and the task of client is that the information with the user sends to specified server, handles according to the difference response of server then.Radius server runs on the work station usually, and its task is to receive the request that the client sends, the authority of user's fee, and return client's required configuration information when the user provides service.Radius server also receives the charge information that client is sent simultaneously, and is kept in the database.
Radius protocol carries out detailed regulation at present in RFC2865, RFC2866, RFC2869.UDR (Usage Data Records) introduces:
UDR collects the file that original charging data generates by charging point, and charging point will generate charging message according to UDR.
Fig. 4 is a kind of more typical charging flow in the prior art, comprises the steps:
1, user's logging in network success;
2, after the charging point perception, initiate charging from the trend accounting server and begin request;
3, accounting server receives to charge and begins request, and the user in the recorded message, chargeable session, station address, time started, present flow rate or the like information is saved in the database as the user station message recording, and the response charging point can begin to charge;
4, according to network condition, operation requirement etc., carry out the charge information real-time guard if desired, the Intermediate Charging ICH message can be provided in charging process.At this moment, according to predetermined intercycle, charging point is initiated the Intermediate Charging ICH request;
5, accounting server receives the Intermediate Charging ICH request, user in the recorded message, chargeable session, station address, use the time span of network, already used network traffics or the like information, be saved in the database station message recording as the user, and respond charging point and can continue Intermediate Charging ICH;
6, the user uses network to finish, and exits network, and can be initiatively hanging wire of user, also can be that network abnormality detection, user force to roll off the production line or the like;
7, after the charging point perception, initiate charging from the trend accounting server and stop request;
8, accounting server receives to charge and stops request, user in the recorded message, chargeable session, station address, use the time span of network, already used network traffics or the like information, be saved in the database station message recording as the user, and the response charging point can stop chargeing.
In actual use, whether charge, whether carry out Intermediate Charging ICH, all tactful according to duration, flow, network site or the like charging, general all can the operation according to network condition, user requires to be configured.
In the WiMAX newest standards, realization be to charge by Business Stream, i.e. user's logging in network success, charging point does not begin charging flow, but just will begin charging when Business Stream is set up successfully after.The client surf the Net charge information complete be recorded in accounting server, accounting system can directly therefrom require to formulate corresponding rate and account form according to operation, and original charge information is converted to the real bill of client.
But, there is not carried terminal sign (MS ID or other can marking terminal equipment mark symbol) before the WiMax standard mesh in the charging message of latest definition, to cause following charging problem thus: because WiMAX supports the situation that the simultaneously a plurality of equipment of a NAI use, when utilizing same usemame/password to surf the Net by different terminals, charging point only sends to accounting server to username information, can not report accounting server to MS id information or other by marking terminal equipment mark symbol yet, in this case, accounting server can not judge which terminal this charge information belongs to according to the information of current charging message, thereby causes charge information can not describe the charging case of this moment accurately comprehensively.
Summary of the invention
In view of this, goal of the invention of the present invention is to provide the charging method in a kind of WIMAX network, identify by carried terminal in charging message, make server can judge this charge information is to belong to which terminal according to the information of current charging message, thereby accurately describe charging case comprehensively.
