Description
Technical field
The present invention relates to the communications field, relate in particular to a kind of prepayment service implementation method and prepayment service network element and network.
Background technology
Along with development of Communication Technique, traditional communication mode and business have obtained significant progress, and prepayment service becomes comparatively common a kind of communication service.As shown in Figure 1, in existing premium-paid plan, when App Server (application server) received that conversation/service request is initiated, earlier from charging platform withholding fee usefulness, if success, App Server continued follow-up service logic, the monitoring of the industry of going forward side by side affair expense; Current expense of once withholding uses up, and just confirms to deduct fees certain expense of withholding again simultaneously to charging platform; Expense uses up on pre-payment account number on the charging platform, the failure that then causes withholding, and this moment, App Server can cut off business.In the prior art, App Server can be traditional intelligent network service system, and typical services has the walk in the Divine Land business of China Mobile, the EasyCall business of CHINAUNICOM, the grade of 201 in fixed network card number service.App Server in the such scheme also can be a soft switch center, is responsible for the logic of call business.
Describe for example with PoC (PTT over cellular, the PTT that on cellular system, realizes) business below.
The notion of PoC service comes from intercom, and its user experience occupation mode and intercom are similar---and simple, quick, half-duplex call.The user need not dialing by preestablishing talk group during conversation, pin specific button, just can simultaneously speech be sent to other all members in the group, and button says that promptly calling and conversation connection procedure were finished in moment.And the recipient need not any response and just can answer, and communication process adopts semiduplex mode, and a side is when speaking, and other members can only answer mute.
The tissue of formulating the PoC standard criterion is OMA (Open Mobile Alliance, an Open Mobile Alliance), and the PoC network that defines in this standard is illustrated as shown in Figure 2, is based on IMS (IP Multimedia System; IP Multimedia System) PoC network (" SIP/IP core " among the figure) structure, main entity brief introduction is as follows:
PoC Server (PoC server): being professional main call control device, is a kind of Application Server (application server) of IMS network;
PoC XDMS: the server of the data such as group information that the storage PoC service needs.
PoC Client (PoC client), user use this client and PoC Server to initiate, receive PoC calling, request floor power, speech etc.
After setting up PoC Group Talk (group call), the user can pass through TBCP (Talk Burst ControlProtocol, the speech control protocol) to PoC Server application Floor (right to speak), only obtain the floor, the user just is allowed to speak, and its Talk Burst (Media Stream) that speaks generation could be forwarded to other members of group by PoC Server.
As a kind of telecommunication service, PoC also requires to realize multiple charging ways flexibly such as pre-payment and back paying.
Fig. 3 has described the PoC network architecture based on IMS.Wherein PoC server (PoC Server) is the main processing unit of PoC service, and function comprises: PoC session processing capacity, distribution of media function, the power of talking control and treatment function, the adaption function of user plane, the translation function of different coding agreement etc.
The end side main portions is PoC Client, is used for carrying out call treatment, medium processing of PoC etc.
The function of presence server (Presence Server) is the presentation information that receives and store the UE announcement, and is distributed to the PoC client.Common presentation information has " whether online ", " interruption-free " etc.
XML document management server (XDMS) is used to manage required group of PoC service and tabulation.Functions such as the mandate of increase, modification, deletion and group of PoC group information and control are provided.In the IMS network architecture, Ut provides the communication function between XDMS and the UE.
This shows that when realizing prepayment service, prior art generally when service server received to call out the request of initiation, carried out expense by charging protocol to charging platform earlier and withhold by the temporary suspension call flows.Can pay follow-up business with the account balance of guaranteeing the user and use, have only the processing that when charging platform returns response, just continues call flow, therefore can increase the time delay of call setup.
This pre-payment flow process can be guaranteed accurate charging, the protection benefits of operators, but also there is a significant disadvantages, promptly can prolong the call establishment time delay, only when charging platform returned response, call flow continued to handle.Though this shortcoming for some delay requirement not high telecommunication service influence can ignore, for business extremely harsh to setup delay as PoC, be unacceptable, can influence user's impression.

Embodiment
Below in conjunction with Figure of description the specific embodiment of the present invention is described.
The present invention proposes a kind of pre-payment implementation method that can avoid prolonging professional connection set-up delay, professional establishment of connection process and expense are withheld, and process is concurrent carries out, be server when receiving service connection request, normally carry out professional connection processing, set up professional the connection; Simultaneously carry out the expense process of withholding,, then remove immediately professional the connection, otherwise business is normally carried out if charging platform returns user account expense deficiency to charging platform.This method is when running into the user balance deficiency, and may cause chargeing has the minority loss, but charging platform can note the expense of deficiency as arrearage, wait user account to supplement with money after deduction again.The application of this pre-paying method can reduce the influence of pre-payment process to call setup greatly, reaches optimum efficiency.
Setting up process with the call business connection below is that example describes, and other professional schemes are similarly handled and got final product.
As shown in Figure 4, be the schematic network structure of prepayment service implementation method of the present invention, as seen from the figure, mainly comprise:
Be responsible for the prepayment service network element 100 that the prepayment service customer call is handled, be responsible for handling the call business logic, initiate pre-payment requests such as deducting fees/reserve according to its service logic to charging platform as the charging initiator simultaneously.
This prepayment service network element can be various application servers, typical PoC server for example, and traditional intelligent telecommunication service server, call processing unit, switching center, or the intelligent network business exchange point etc.
Be responsible for charging platform 200 that user prepayment is managed, deposit the user account balance amount information, and response application server request such as withhold/the reserve service of withholding/reserve.The user can supplement with money its account by certain approach.This charging platform can comprise OCS (Online Charging System, Online Charging System) and/or CDF (Charging Data Function, charging bill functional entity).OCS and CDF may reside in other entities of PoC server or IMS system, for example among S-CSCF or the P-CSCF.
Mutual between above-mentioned prepayment service network element and the charging platform for passing through charging protocol.Charging protocol can be traditional intelligent network signaling, also can be other charging protocol signaling such as Radius/Diameter.
In addition, can be a kind of believable relation between above-mentioned prepayment service network element and the charging platform, for example be deployed in the inside, same territory of operator, also can authenticate mutually by certain authentication process, repeat no more herein.
As shown in Figure 5, be in this prepayment service network, the structural representation of prepayment service network element 100, as seen from the figure, it mainly comprises following structure:
The professional connection set up unit 101, connects for described user sets up business according to user's request of making a call;
The expense unit 102 of withholding, the expense that is used for carrying out with described charging platform described user is withheld;
Connection status control unit 103 according to the described customer charge result that withholds, keeps described and professionally connects or stop described professional the connection.
Further, this prepayment service network element 100 also comprises:
Stop the professional reason transmitting element 106 that connects, be used for, when stopping described professional connection, return to described user and to stop business connection reason in the customer charge failure of withholding.
Subscriber arrearage information reports unit 107, is used for reporting described user's arrearage information to described charging platform after stopping described professional the connection.
As shown in Figure 6, be the present invention program's main flow chart, as seen from the figure, mainly may further comprise the steps:
S601, prepayment service network element connect for described user sets up conversation according to user's request of making a call.
When the user need use prepayment service, it is to being responsible for the prepayment service network element request of making a call that the paid service customer call is handled, the prepayment service network element is according to described call request, in the very first time,, described user connects for setting up conversation, the prepaid user just needn't wait for operation such as carry out that expense is withheld between prepayment service network element and the charge system like this, directly set up this user's conversation connection, make the user experience the time delay that produces less than the processing of chargeing by the prepayment service network element.
S602, prepayment service network element and charging platform carry out described user's expense and withhold.
At the prepayment service network element is when described user sets up the conversation connection, prepayment service network element and charging platform carry out this professional expense of described user and withhold, the withhold scheme of process and employing of the expense of prepayment service network element and charging platform, can determine with reference to the related content of prior art, not repeat them here.
S603, according to the described customer charge result that withholds, keep described conversation to connect or stop described conversation connecting.
According to the expense of the S602 result that withholds, the conversation whether decision of prepayment service network element keeps described user has been set up connects.
If described customer charge is withheld successfully, then keep described conversation to connect.
The failure if described customer charge is withheld, then stopping described conversation connects, described prepayment service network element returns the finished call reason to described user, and is reported described user's arrearage information by the prepayment service network element to described charging platform after stopping described conversation connection.
In the such scheme, if described customer charge withhold successfully, keep described conversation to connect after, also comprise the follow-up step that customer charge is withheld of carrying out once more.
Withhold successfully at customer charge, after keeping described conversation to connect, the prepayment service network element also will monitor described user's communication state, if variation has taken place in the user's communication state, the prepayment service network element will in time be confirmed described user's pre-payment operating position according to described state variation and charging platform, when finishing this prepayment service as the user, the prepayment service network element will in time be confirmed to the charging platform mail sending charge per message, confirm user's cost of use.
In the such scheme, because the prepayment service network element is after receiving the customer call request, for setting up conversation, described user connects immediately, the expense of consulting described user just and between the charging platform is withheld then, if the expense operation failure of withholding like this, then the prepayment service network element provides the prepayment service of a period of time for described user, and the prepayment service of this section period is not paid, at this kind situation, in the customer charge failure of withholding, after the prepayment service network element stops described conversation connection, return the finished call reason by the prepayment service network element to described user, and report described user's arrearage information by the prepayment service network element to described charging platform.When described user carries out expense when prestoring, described charging platform is preferentially deducted described arrearage in prestoring expense.
Below in conjunction with concrete example, implementation of the present invention is described.
Example 1, prepayment service network element are application server, the expense flow process of successfully withholding behind the call setup:
When being call setup as Fig. 7, the user balance abundance can satisfy the pre-payment flow process under the calling charge situation, comprises the steps:
S701, user initiate a call request to application server.
S702, application server be the call request of process user immediately, according to normal post payment service flow processing.Start the another one parallel task simultaneously, carry out the operation that expense is withheld.
S703, application server according to business features to the request of withholding of charging platform mail sending charge per message, such as " 5 minutes PoC service expenses " or " 0.8 yuan " etc.
S704, charging platform carry out after expense withholds, and return the withhold result of success of expense to application server.
S705, the expense of receiving are withheld after the message of success, and application server does not interrupt active user's regular traffic, and the active user proceeds to call out.
S706, charging platform are by starting regularly the professional use amount that means such as phase monitor described user.
S707, when metering period finishes, when a preceding withholding fee used up, application server sent " last time, expense was confirmed and the request of withholding next time " to charging platform.
S708, charging platform return the successful respond of " expense is confirmed and withheld ".
S709, charging platform monitor this end of calling of user.
S710, application server send " last time, expense was confirmed (part) " to charging platform, notify the expense of charging platform actual use in the last cycle of deducting fees.
S711, charging platform return the successful respond of " expense affirmation ".
S712, application server generate CDR (Call Detail Record, detailed call record) according to charging case.
S713, charging platform generate CDR according to the situation of deducting fees.
S706 in the above-mentioned flow process～S708 step can repeat repeatedly according to length difference call time.
In the said process, be that with the difference of general prepayment service realization flow maximum the call treatment among the step S702 is normally carried out, start a parallel task of withholding simultaneously.Be to walk abreast in S703, two steps of S704, can not have precedence relationship with two steps of S702/S705.Just there are ordinal relation in S704 and S706; Here to withhold be parallel processing for call treatment and expense, needn't wait charging platform to return the expense result that withholds; And in general pre-payment process call treatment and expense to withhold be serial process, when having only by the time charging platform to return expense to withhold the result, could carry out call treatment according to the expense result that withholds.
The handling process of withholding when example 2, call setup and failing:
As Fig. 8 is that the prepayment service network element is an application server, during call setup first expense withhold the failure the pre-payment flow process, as seen from the figure, may further comprise the steps:
S801, user initiate a call request to application server.
S802, application server be the call request of process user immediately, according to normal post payment service flow processing, starts the another one parallel task simultaneously, carries out the operation that expense is withheld.
S803, application server according to business features to the request of withholding of charging platform mail sending charge per message, such as " 5 minutes PoC service expenses " or " 0.8 yuan " etc.
S804, charging platform carry out expense withholds, and the expense failure of withholding in this example is returned the withhold result of failure of expense to application server.The failure cause of withholding of expense herein is a lot, is typically, and the user balance deficiency, subscriber arrearage, user account freeze etc.
S805, the expense of receiving are withheld after the failure, and application server interrupts active user's regular traffic, returns cause of termination to the user.
S806, application server report arrearage information to charging platform, for example " 1 minute PoC cost of use ", perhaps " 0.18 yuan " etc.
S807, charging platform return the affirmation response to application server after preserving this subscriber arrearage information.
S808, application server generate CDR according to charging case.
S809, charging platform generate CDR according to the situation of deducting fees.
In the flow process of example 2, when application server receives that expense is withheld the information of failing, just start the end of calling flow process.Expense is withheld failure as the triggering reason of an end of calling herein, smaller to original operation flow influence.
In addition, the expense failure of withholding also can occur in the Intermediate Charging ICH link, and the failure of withholding of processing procedure and expense first is basic identical.
The present invention program can also use under a plurality of network environments.
Example 3, the pre-payment application flow in PoC service:
As shown in Figure 9, be the application of the present invention program in PoC service, example 3 is flow processs of withholding fee success, comprises the steps:
S901, user initiate a call request to PoC affair device.
The call request of process user immediately of S902, PoC server is according to normal post payment service flow processing.Start the another one parallel task simultaneously, carry out the charge future operation.
S903, PoC server according to business features to the request of withholding of charging platform mail sending charge per message.
S904, charging platform carry out after expense withholds, and return the withhold result of success of expense to the PoC server.
S905, the expense of receiving are withheld after the message of success, and the PoC server does not interrupt active user's regular traffic, and the active user proceeds to call out.
S906, charging platform are by starting regularly the professional use amount that means such as phase monitor described user.
S907, when metering period finishes, when a preceding withholding fee used up, the PoC server sent " last time, expense was confirmed and the request of withholding next time " to charging platform.
S908, charging platform return the expense successful respond of withholding.
S909, charging platform monitor this end of calling of user.
S910, PoC server send " last time, expense was confirmed (part) " to charging platform, notify the expense of charging platform actual use in the last cycle of deducting fees.
S911, charging platform return the successful respond of " expense affirmation ".
S912, PoC server generate CDR according to charging case.
S913, charging platform generate CDR according to the situation of deducting fees.
In the such scheme, in the time of the user balance deficiency, because the particularity of PoC service, might there be the repeatedly situation of call attempt of user's malice in extreme case down, addresses this problem and can adopt following method.
When UE when IMS registers, SCFCF can obtain this user's balance amount information from HSS.Following service filtering rule is set: if user balance is less than predetermined threshold value (this threshold value can be provided with by operator) in the iFC of this user's correspondence, then do not allow it to use PoC service, do not initiate the third-party registration process between the follow-up SCFCF-PoC AS.As shown in figure 10, be the schematic flow sheet of this scheme, as seen from the figure, may further comprise the steps:
S1001, SCSCF receive the Client-initiated register requirement.
S1002, SCSCF are to HSS searching user's information and Ifc information.
Do you S1003, judge that according to Query Result user balance satisfies the threshold value that PoC service is set? if enter step S1004, otherwise enter S1005.
S1004, permission user use this PoC service, initiate third-party registration to the PoC server.
S1005, do not allow the user to use this PoC service, do not initiate third-party registration to the PoC server.
Example 4, the application flow of pre-payment in the traditional intelligence net, remaining sum is withheld successfully:
In intelligent network, mainly comprise following network element:
SSP: Service Switching Point, finish basic function of exchange, finish indication/request of SCP, report necessary information to SCP.When receiving the call request of pre-payment, can send the call request of pre-payment to SCP, wait for the further instruction of SCP then: proceed as calling, perhaps call out termination etc.
SCP: service control point, explain and carry out IN service---finish various operations according to the relevant SSP of miscellaneous service logic commander.Deduct fees and check that operations such as remaining sum are all undertaken by SCP.
As shown in figure 11, this prepayment service implementation method comprises the steps: in intelligent network
S1101, user initiate prepaid call.
S1102, intelligent network SSP send the prepaid call request to SCP.
S1103, intelligent network SCP are indicated SSP to call out immediately and are proceeded.
S1104, intelligent network SCP carry out expense withholds, this user's remaining sum abundance, and expense is withheld successfully.
S1105, intelligent network SCP indication SSP call out and proceed.
S1106, intelligent network SSP proceed this service call of described user.
S1107, intelligent network SCP monitor described customer charge, and described customer charge uses up.
S1108, intelligent network SCP finish to the SSP indicating call.
S1109, intelligent network SSP generate CDR according to charging case.
S1110, intelligent network SCP generate CDR according to the situation of deducting fees.
Example 5, the application flow of pre-payment in the traditional intelligence net, Sorry, your ticket has not enough value:
As shown in figure 12, be that prepayment service is used in intelligent network, the schematic flow sheet of withholding fee failure as seen from the figure, may further comprise the steps:
S1201, user initiate prepaid call.
S1202, intelligent network SSP send the prepaid call request to SCP.
S1203, intelligent network SCP are indicated SSP to call out immediately and are proceeded.
S1204, intelligent network SCP carry out expense withholds, and Sorry, your ticket has not enough value for this user, the expense failure of withholding.
S1205, intelligent network SCP indication SSP call out and stop carrying out.
S1206, intelligent network SSP stop carrying out this service call of described user.
S1207, intelligent network SSP generate CDR according to charging case.
S1208, intelligent network SCP generate CDR according to the situation of deducting fees.
According to above-mentioned flow process, influence between call business handling process and the pre-payment handling process concerns as can be seen, influence between two business processing flows, call business handling process and pre-payment handling process are two synchronous processes, are undertaken limited mutual by specific incident:
When 1, the call business handling process was received new call request, notice pre-payment flow process was carried out expense and is withheld.
2, the call business handling process is used by monitoring traffic, and when professional normal termination or metering period finished, notice pre-payment flow process was carried out the expense process of withholding once more.
3, when the pre-payment flow process finds to deduct fees failure, notification call business processing flow end session.
In such scheme, the failure if the advanced charge user costs is withheld, then after the defaulting subscriber supplemented with money, last professional arrearage compensated:
In " handling process of the failure of withholding during call setup ", mention, reasons such as user balance deficiency can cause the failure of withholding, but this moment, the user used the business of a period of time, and application server can report the specifying information of arrearage at last according to the situation that the user uses to charging platform.When charging platform is received arrearage information, can deduct if be not enough to earlier with user's account balance deduction part arrearage volume, arrearage volume after the record deduction, when the user supplements with money next time, at first with the volume of supplementing with money the remaining arrearage volume that deducts, referring to following processing procedure:
The present invention proposes a kind of pre-payment implementation method that can avoid prolonging calling establishment time delay.This pre-paying method is applied to various prepayment services, can ignore the influence of pre-payment flow process to call setup, improves user satisfaction.
Pre-paying method provided by the invention also can be applied in other the pre-payment solution.In for example original intelligent network pre-payment solution, perhaps soft switch in the 3G/NGN network is in the operation system of IMS subsystem.
Obviously, those skilled in the art can carry out various changes and modification to the present invention and not break away from the spirit and scope of the present invention.Like this, if of the present invention these are revised and modification belongs within the scope of claim of the present invention and equivalent technologies thereof, then the present invention also is intended to comprise these changes and modification interior.
