Description

A kind of cell billing method, system and equipment

Technical field

The present invention relates to communication technical field, relate in particular to a kind of cell billing method, system and equipment.

Background technology

In order to encourage the mobile subscriber to use mobile phone at home but not landline telephone, a lot of mobile operator release the HomeZone business one after another.The HomeZone business is to be the signatory tabulation of user, when the user makes a call under such sub-district or changeed before evening, carry out preferential rate, is a kind of customization, the preferential business of rate that position-based information determines.

About the position altering event processing method under the preferential sub-district, CAMEL (CustomizedApplications for Mobile network Enhanced Logic commonly used, the mobile network strengthens the customization of logic and uses) 1/2/3 agreement only is supported in IDP (Initial detection point, start Detection Point) in the message to SCP (Service Control Point, service control point) transmits user position information (LocationInformation comprises sub-district and lane place and VLRID).

Carry out the preferential class business of the charging that position-based information is arranged in the prior art, as HomeZOne.Industry has intelligent implementation that non intelligent implementation is also arranged to the HomeZone business at present.

Prior art one: intelligent implementation, each user's preferential cell list is stored on the SCP.SCP extracts SSP (Service Switching Point, cell information in the IDP message of Service Switching Point) reporting and submitting, contrast user's signatory preferential cell list decides the rate of conversation this time, and final rate is inserted in the ticket of MSC by issuing FCI message.The charging center is finally carried out according to the FCI information in the MSC ticket and is deducted fees.

In realizing process of the present invention, the inventor finds that there is following shortcoming in prior art one:

Present intelligent scheme all is based on CAMEL1/2/3's, and position modification information real-time report is given SCP in these not support calls of standard agreement.Therefore can't accomplish to adjust rate in real time, also not be supported in and adjust rate when switching between user's generation systems by the change of detecting customer location.

This just cause can only be when call out initiating the decision rate, subsequent user moves to non-preferential sub-district or moves to the preferential sub-district rate that all can not enjoy privileges from non-preferential sub-district.

And in the present intelligent scheme, SCP obtain less than switch between the system of calling out and MSC (Mobile Switching Center, mobile switching centre) between handover information, can not react in view of the above.

Prior art two: non intelligent implementation, user's preferential cell list are generally signatory at HLR (HomeLocation Register, attaching position register).Commonly be the signatory ZoneCode tabulation of user, MSC bundlees one or more sub-districts for each ZoneCode, and defines a rate sign indicating number.When call out initiating or changeed before evening, MSC checks whether the sub-district at active user place appears at during its ZoneCode tabulates, if, distinctive mark and fill in the rate sign indicating number of this ZoneCode correspondence on ticket is mid-then.The charging center is finally carried out according to the rate sign indicating number in the MSC ticket and is deducted fees.

In realizing process of the present invention, the inventor finds that also there is following shortcoming in prior art two:

The rate adjustment of non intelligent implementation is that off-line carries out, therefore in the time of can't being implemented in rate and changing to user's real-time informing.User experience is bad.On the other hand, the signatory mode of the user of non intelligent implementation is nonstandard, and may there be conflict in the implementation of especially using ZoneCode with the roaming limit service based on ZoneCode, is unfavorable for the popularization of scheme.

Embodiment

Below in conjunction with drawings and Examples, embodiments of the present invention are described further.

The embodiment of the invention one provides a kind of preferential cell billing method, as shown in Figure 1, may further comprise the steps:

Step S101, MSC/SSP trigger preferential sub-district call charge service when changeing at the MS originating call or before doing called generation evening, MS has signed the MS of preferential sub-district call charge service that strengthens the customization application CAMEL4 agreement of logic based on the mobile network.

Step S102, MSC/SSP receive SCP according to the position altering event information list that preferential sub-district call charge service issues, and monitor the position altering event information in the switching of described MS sub-district in real time, and described position altering event information is reported described SCP.

Also comprise after above-mentioned steps: MSC/SSP receives the sub-district rate information that SCP issues according to position altering event information, and the rate information in the switching of sub-district is handed down to MS.Guarantee as far as possible that wherein this rate information sends in real time, but also can rationally be provided with, do not impose real-time transmission, but traffic affecting is not realized according to systematic function, yet, guaranteeing that the rate information in the handoff procedure sends in real time, user experience is better.If MSC/SSP allows, this SCP also can be handed down to MSC/SSP with tabulation of position modification information and one of rate information.Usually the former is the method for comparative optimization, and each equipment rational division of labor is easier to realize on existing basis.

Meanwhile, in above-mentioned steps, also comprise the signatory preferential sub-district call charge service of MS and SCP based on the CAMEL4 agreement; Simultaneously with the signatory basis of SCP on, MS also can with the signatory preferential sub-district of MSC/SSP call charge service, can be used for being provided with the mode that the rate information in the handoff procedure is issued to travelling carriage, for example: regularly the rate information in the communication process is sent to travelling carriage, or stop in cell switch process in period of same sub-district and only send rate information one time, and start promptly shows the rate information of affiliated subdistrict.

In the present embodiment, MSC/SSP also comprises the establishment ticket in the reciprocal process of information, and described ticket comprises that at least described MSC/SSP reports the described position altering event information of described SCP and stab switching time.And when the mutual position altering event information of described MSC/SSP and described SCP and described rate information were interrelated, described ticket further comprised the rate information that described SCP issues.Described MSC/SSP is transferred to mobile charging center with described CDR file, and described mobile charging center is stabbed according to described position altering event information, switching time and described rate information is directly deducted fees.On the other hand, position altering event information also can not carried out related with rate information, do not fill in rate information in the ticket, described MSC/SSP is transferred to described mobile charging center with described CDR file, when the offline bill of managing business, the customer data base that described SCP is inquired about in real time in mobile charging center is deducted fees according to the position altering event information and the described rate information of described CDR file to obtain the rate information of described MS in the preferential sub-district of difference.By above-mentioned charging method, the rate information that is handed down in the rate information, the rate information in the ticket, described SCP customer data base of described MS is consistent with the rate information that BC deducts fees.

Wherein said position altering event information and described rate information are interrelated to be realized by expanding location change criterion private object.Described expanding location change criterion private object specifically comprises: described MSC/SSP and described SCP increase position change message area ChargeAreaCode attribute in described position change criterion; And described MSC/SSP and described SCP mate after the above position change criterion and identify for a position position of change order assignment change order ChangOfLocationCounter.

When position altering event information and rate information also can not carry out when related, when the sub-district rate information in the preferential sub-district call charge service of described MS signature was adjusted, described rate information was as the criterion with the described position described rate information of preserving before changing; Or select to be as the criterion with old sub-district rate information or up-to-date rate information according to the generation time of described offline bill.

The embodiment of the invention two provides a kind of enhancing preferential cell billing method, and embodiment one is applied in the concrete scene, as shown in Figure 2, may further comprise the steps:

Preferential sub-district/public preferential sub-district IN service (OCSI/DCSI) of the signatory CAMEL4 of step S201, MS; And customize preferential sub-district (2G and the 3G)/position area list and the corresponding rate of this MS ownership at SCP.

In this step, the CAMEL4 agreement provides the position altering event to report mechanism, allows the switching behavior that SSP takes place to the SCP report of user in real time in calling procedure.This reporting is with good conditionsi, and SSP need carry out certain criterion, and the criterion of standard agreement (29.078650) definition has:

1. enter or leave certain 2G (The Second Generation, second generation mobile communication technology) sub-district (enteringCellGlobalId/leavingCellGlobalId);

2. enter or leave certain 3G (The Third Generation, third generation mobile technology) sub-district (enteringServiceAreaId/leavingServiceAreaId);

3. enter or leave certain lane place (enteringLocationAreaId/leavingLocationAreaId);

4. from GSM (Global System for Mobile Communications, global system for mobile communications) switches to UMTS (Universal Mobile Telecommunication System, conventional wireless communication systems) (inter-SystemHandOverToUMTS);

5. switch to GSM (inter-SystemHandOverToGSM) from UMTS;

6. the switching (inter-PLMNHandOver) between PLMN (Public Land Mobile Network, the public mobile network in land) takes place;

7. the switching (inter-MSCHandOver) in the MSC (Mobile Switching Center, mobile switching centre) takes place.

Above-mentioned criterion can be mixed customization, and user supports 10 criterions at most, promptly can only support maximum 10 little area/locations (also making the position change criteria information) in each user preferential cell list of contracting and the position area list.

Step S202, when when this MS makes a call or as the callee, taking place to change before late, MSC/SSP triggers its signatory preferential sub-district IN service.

Step S203, SCP issue the corresponding preferential sub-district/position area list of all rates of this MS (triggering the MS of this IN service) to MSC/SSP in the RRBE operation, require MSC to monitor the cell information situation of change of this MS in calling.

Step S204, SCP indicating call can continue.

Step S205, MS switch in conversation, if call out and between preferential little area/location and non-preferential little area/location, switching taken place, then MSC/SSP reports position change ERB (Event ReportBCSM, Basic Call State Model BCSM event report) incident.

Step S206, SCP issue SCI (Send Charging Information, chargeing sends message) (SSP is converted to AOC (Advice Of Charge, advice of charge)) or put Tone sound notice MS rate and switch.

The rate that step S207, MS can understand in its communication process in real time changes.And make a response.

Step S208, MSC are transferred to CDR file to move in the charging and believe BC, and BC obtains ticket; Inquire about the rate information of positional information, temporal information and the described sub-district that switch the sub-district in the described ticket; Rate information according to the positional information in the described ticket, temporal information and described sub-district is deducted telephone expenses.

According to standard agreement, can only support maximum 10 little area/locations (also being position change criteria information) in preferential cell list that each MS is signatory and the position area list.For greater flexibility is provided, between SSP and SCP, introduce the notion of message area: ChargeAreaCode.Message area is made of several continuous sub-districts, and operator is divided into a plurality of message areas to the whole network according to the operation needs, and is the unique ChargeAreaCode of each message area distribution.MSC and SCP need be consistent for the understanding of the mapping relations between ChargeAreaCode and the sub-district.Terminal client is by the signatory preferential ChargeAreaCode rate that enjoys privileges.Message area is changeable, depends on the needs of operator.

Also can support more preferential little area/location by revising the numOfChangeOfPositionControlInfo constant of 29.078 protocol definitions.

By the preferential sub-district of contracting simultaneously, preferential lane place and preferential message area, present embodiment can customize the preferential zone of varigrained charging for MS to greatest extent.

Operator can also be chosen in when taking place to switch between the 2G/3G system, and reports the position altering event when the switching that takes place between the MSC.When this switching took place, terminal MS can be enjoyed real-time expense ratio alteration informing.

Frequently carrying out the sub-district for fear of the busy areas travelling carriage intensive in preferential sub-district switches; cause MSC/SSP frequently to report the position altering event; and cause the traffic handing capacity excess load of system thus; MSC/SSP need provide the sampling protection mechanism, can carry out flexible configuration according to traffic handing capacity.For example: the double time interval that reports can not be less than 10 seconds.Generally, the time interval that reports is short more, and it is accurate more to charge, and user experience is also good more.

The position modification information that reports SCP must be recorded in the MSC ticket, the ChangeOfLocation information that SCP issues in RRBE also is recorded in the ticket of MSC, and the MSC ticket also writes down the corresponding tariff (extracting) of the change of position each time that SCP issues from the SCI of correspondence simultaneously.

The ticket of MSC is gathered in the charging center, determines jointly to charge according to wherein handover information and ChangeOfLocation information and tariff information.

In order to guarantee that the SCP real-time informing can accurate recording carries out off-line in the ticket for the rate information of terminal MS and deduct fees, need between SCI and ERB, carry out association.This association can realize by the ChangeOfLocationCounter parameter of transmitting expansion:

Be ChangeOfLocationCounter of this position change order assignment (this is unique in calling out) on the MSC/SSP coupling after the position change criterion.SSP carries this ChangeOfLocationCounter in the ERB that reports (oChangeOfPositionSpecificInfo/tChangeOfPositionSpecificI nfo).

SCP judges rate and issues SCI after preferential, carries AOC parameter (containing new rate) among the SCI and returns ChangeOfLocationCounter.

MSC/SSP carries out the SCI that receives and the handover event of network side related according to ChangeOfLocationCounter.MSC writes down switching time and stabs in ticket, the new rate that switching position modification information and SCP determine.

This programme has following three kinds of situations to the privately owned expansion of 29.078650 agreements, and wherein to add the part of italic be that the object that present embodiment is expanded (comprising: message area, ChargeAreaCode to black matrix; And position change order, ChangeOfLocaionCounter):
