Embodiment
Below with reference to accompanying drawing, describe the specific embodiment of the present invention in detail.
With reference to figure 1, the policy billing method in the WiMAX system is described.As shown in the figure, this method may further comprise the steps: S102, when the strategy distribution functional entity receives from the IP connection access to network conversation request of policy and charging enforcement function entity in the access business network, IP is connected the access to network conversation request be forwarded to policy charging rule functional entity; S104, policy charging rule functional entity connect the user related information that carries in the access to network conversation request according to IP and make the charging policy decision-making, and the charging policy decision-making is sent to the strategy distribution functional entity; And S106, the strategy distribution functional entity obtains the position that connects policy and charging enforcement function entity in the business network by static mode, and the charging policy decision-making is sent to policy and charging enforcement function entity in the connection business network, to carry out policy, billing.
Wherein, the relevant information configuration of the position of policy and charging enforcement function entity in the business network that connects is in the strategy distribution functional entity.
Alternatively, about the information configuration that connects the position of policy and charging enforcement function entity in the business network in mandate, authentication and billing function entity, mandate, authentication and billing function entity are sent to the strategy distribution functional entity by policy charging rule functional entity with the relevant information that is connected the position of policy and charging enforcement function entity in the business network.
Alternatively, the information configuration of the position of policy and charging enforcement function entity is in the signatory storehouse of user in the relevant connection business network, and the signatory storehouse of user is sent to the strategy distribution functional entity by policy charging rule functional entity with the relevant information that connects the position of policy and charging enforcement function entity in the business network.
In addition, in step S104, policy charging rule functional entity also connects the user related information that carries in the access to network conversation request according to IP and judges whether that needs upgrade the user signing contract information in the signatory storehouse of user, if desired, then by upgrading user signing contract information alternately with the signatory storehouse of user.
Fig. 2 is the block diagram according to the WiMAX PCC control architecture of embodiment of the invention application.As follows from the known process analysis of complete policy, billing:
A-PCEF after the policy and charging enforcement function perceives the request of IP-CAN conversation establishing in the ASN, initiates the establishment of IP-CAN session to PDF; PDF directly transmit this conversation request to PCRF be the policy charging rule function; PCRF judges whether and need upgrade user signing contract information to the signatory storehouse of user (Subscription Profile Repository is called for short SPR), and is then mutual with SPR if desired, upgrades user related information; PCRF makes strategic decision-making according to the information of collecting; PCRF is issued to PDF with this strategic decision-making; PDF distributes the strategy that this PCRF issues to Policy Enforcement Point.As can be known, only need PDF can correctly navigate to the position of C-PCEF, just can not have the problem of policy distribution.
At present, the physical location of C-PCEF is undefined in the CSN territory, may bind together with HA, also may realize separately.Under the situation of C-PCEF and HA binding, the existence of HA in the CSN territory is limited, and simultaneously as Policy Enforcement Point, the existence of C-PCEF in the CSN territory also is limited; Can guarantee the correct distribution of PDF strategy by directly on PDF, disposing the position of C-PCEF.Also can with the position configuration of C-PCEF in AAA/SPR, inform PDF by Sp and Gx (Ty) interface.
That is to say that PDF can obtain the position of C-PCEF by static mode, the position of this C-PCEF can directly be configured in above the PDF, also can transmit by PCRF.In addition, PDF can issue the PCRF strategic decision-making to (being configured) C-PCEF of all discoveries.Wherein, the C-PCEF address of static configuration comprises the address of physical logic functional entity, and its main points are that by this address PDF can correctly locate the position of C-PCEF.
Say that further the address of C-PCEF can be configured in the PDF, also can be delivered to PDF by PCRF.Can by with the address configuration of C-PCEF on the PCRF entity or be configured on the SPR/AAA and realize.Wherein, inner in PCC mechanism, SPR/AAA is mutual by Sp interface and PCRF, and this interaction flow is guaranteed, and signatory relevant information and PCRF canned data are inconsistent as long as SPR/AAA goes up the user, and this will take place alternately.Mutual as for PCRF and PDF after PCRF receives the conversation request that PDF transmits, must be handled this request.
Said method not only is applicable to independent WiMAX network scenario, is applicable to that also the WiMAX system inserts the situation of other network, for example the 3GPP network.
The above is embodiments of the invention only, is not limited to the present invention, and for a person skilled in the art, the present invention can have various changes and variation.Within the spirit and principles in the present invention all, any modification of being done, be equal to replacement, improvement etc., all should be included within the claim scope of the present invention.
