Step 35: the duration information of the data service that prepayment client statistics user uses, and control, up to user offline.
Further, step 32 comprises that prepayment client is initiated quota online updating message according to the flow Quota Usage.
Further, step 35 comprises that prepayment client is initiated quota online updating message according to the duration Quota Usage.
Below be example with the cdma system, illustrate that the user switches to pre-payment implementation method based on flow from the pre-payment based on duration.Switch to based on the implementation method of the pre-payment of duration similar with it to the user from pre-payment based on flow.The message of supposing communication between PPC and the PPS is carried based on dial-in customer's remote authentication RADIUS (Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service).
CDMA is a kind of multiple access modulation technique based on the wide-band spread spectrum technology commonly used.CDMA2000 is one of main pattern of 3G (Third Generation) Moblie, and it not only provides high-quality voice service, and packet data transmission service at a high speed also is provided simultaneously.
In the cdma system, the prepayment client PPC of data service is generally born by packet data serving node PDSN (Packet Data Service Node) or home agent HA (Home Agent).Its pre paid functionality is by PPC and ownership authentication, mandate and accounting server AAA (Authentication﹠amp; Authorization﹠amp; Accounting)/carry out realizing alternately of message between the prepaid server PPS.The function of PPS can realize on aaa server, also can separate with aaa server.When PPS separated with aaa server, interactive messages was transmitted by aaa server between PPC and the PPS.
When the user inserts, PPC sends authentication request (Radius Access-Request) message and gives ownership AAA/PPS, the mandate of request pre-payment, ownership AAA/PPS judges that the user is the prepaid user, and positive remaining sum arranged, authorize quota (Quota) and thresholding prepayment service information such as (Threshold) to give PPC, PPC begins to provide prepayment service for the user, monitors the operating position of quota simultaneously; When the consumption of pre-payment quota reached the thresholding of pre-authorization, PPC sent online update request (On-line RadiusAccess-Request) message, was the new available quota of current sessions application; When user's quota uses or user when rolling off the production line midway, PPC sends online update inquiry information, reports and has used quota information, so that ownership AAA/PPS carries out withholds.
For realizing the prepaid data business, prepayment client can adopt following prepayment service attribute to carry relevant prepayment information with prepaid server.
Prepaid accounting ability PPAC (Prepaid Accounting Capability): PPC utilizes this attribute to circulate a notice of the prepayment capabilities of its support to AAA/PPS, the prepayment mode that PPS utilizes this attribute authority to select.Value comprises based on flow, based on duration and based on three kinds of flow and durations.If PPC does not comprise this attribute in the access request message that PPS sends, the expression client does not possess prepayment capabilities, and current sessions can not use prepayment service.
Prepaid accounting quota PPAQ (Prepaid Accounting Quota): flow or duration quota information that indication is authorized or used in Packet Service comprise and authorize amount, thresholding or used quota etc.When the user reaches the standard grade, prepayment client sends authentication request and asks authentication to AAA/PPS, and AAA/PPS judges that this user is the prepaid user, and positive account balance is arranged, distribute duration or flow quota to give PPC, PPC provides prepaid services based on duration or flow according to quota for the user.Providing for the user in the prepaid services process, prepayment client adopts online updating quota message to report the quota information of using, and asking AAA/PPS simultaneously is that the user distributes new quota.Thus, realize the real-time deduction function of user data service.
Prepayment rate switches PTS (PrePaidTariffSwitching): indication rate in the pre-payment Packet Service is switched mandate and corresponding rate handover information.Prepaid server is carried out the mandate of corresponding rate handover information when authorizing prepayment client to use the prepaid data business.After the rate switching condition triggers, when prepayment client switches rate or rate switch before and after the operating position information of data service report to prepaid server, prepaid server is carried out the pre-payment mandate again according to new rate.
Fig. 4 realizes switching to flow chart based on the pre-payment of flow from the pre-payment based on duration in CDMA systems for the present invention.
Among this embodiment, ownership AAA/PPS is responsible for writing down portable terminal (Mobile Station, abbreviation MS) (as one month) uses total duration of data service in during certain hour, when the user asks prepaid data professional, AAA/PPS returns the current request time point when the pre-payment mandate by ownership, and promptly total duration of using of user is to the time interval of charge mode type switching point.Reach the time interval of charge mode type switching point when the user uses the duration of data service, promptly charge mode type switching point arrives, and triggers and upgrades, and ownership AAA/PPS changes charge mode for the user, for the user redistributes quota by new charge mode.
For realizing the switching of charge mode type, in PTS, increase the time interval that sub-attribute: charge mode interval T switching time MDI (TariffModelDurationInterval) expression arrives charge mode type switching point.
In PPAQ, increase sub-attribute: the duration total amount that a Service Instance or a plurality of Service Instance use when using duration total amount DUOA (DurationUsedOfAll) expression user to carry out data service.This attribute can (Main Service Instance) carry in user's main Service Instance, need not be with this attribute in other Service Instance.
Below only have under the situation of a connection with the user, illustrate how realize in cdma system that based on the duration pre-payment to switching based on the flow pre-payment, concrete steps are as follows:
Step 41:PDSN provides the data access service for MS, ownership AAA/PPS authorized user uses the prepaid services based on duration, comprises pre-payment quota DQ (DurationQuota) and thresholding DT (DurationThreshold) that is distributed and the time interval TMDI that arrives charge mode type switching point in authorization message;
Step 42:PDSN statistics user uses the duration total amount DUOA of data service and the duration information that the user uses in this connection; When the duration of user's use arrived thresholding DT, PDSN initiated the online updating request message to ownership AAA/PPS, carries the current duration information DQ that has used in the message;
Step 43: ownership AAA/PPS for the user distributes new quota DQ and thresholding DT, returns the online updating response message again according to account's situation of user; After PDSN accepts this message, upgrade processing accordingly;
Step 44: the duration total amount VUOA that uses as the user reaches the time interval TMDI of charge mode type switching point, and PDSN initiates the online updating request message, and request distributes new quota, carries the quota information DQ that has used in the message;
Step 45: ownership AAA/PPS judges the current charge mode type switching that taken place, the adjustment charge mode is the prepaid accounting pattern based on flow, rate according to flow is user's dispense flow rate quota VQ (VolumeQuota) and thresholding VT (VolumeThreshold), returns the online updating response message;
Step 46: during user offline, PDSN initiates the online updating request message to ownership AAA/PPS, carries the quota information of having used in the message;
Step 47: ownership AAA/PPS judges online updating message for stopping user data service message, and process user account consumes situation, returns the online updating response message.
Further, in the step 43, can carry out the mandate of the time interval TMDI of charge mode type switching point again for the user in the online updating response message that ownership AAA/PPS returns; After PDSN receives new TMDI, to the VUOA operation of resetting.
Equally, when realizing the prepaid data service based on flow in cdma system, also can adopting uses the same method realizes based on the pre-payment of flow to the switching based on the pre-payment of duration.Be that with above flow process difference the prepaid server initial authorization is to the prepaid data service of prepayment client use based on flow, the handover information of mandate is user's flow difference of use traffic arrival pre-payment charging sheme type switching point; Switching back allocated quota information is the duration quota information.
In sum, the present invention can carry out certain control to online duration/flow of user.As limiting the user in the expense of monthly payment, be limited to a fixed value on the duration of use, when user's total duration of surfing the Net this month surpasses this fixed value, the part that surpasses is chargeed by flow.Perhaps the user is limited to a fixed value on the flow of use in the expense of monthly payment, and when user's total flow of surfing the Net this month surpasses this fixed value, the part that surpasses progress row is on time chargeed.The prepaid services of variety of way is provided for the user like this, neatly.
Certainly; the present invention also can have other various embodiments; under the situation that does not deviate from spirit of the present invention and essence thereof; being familiar with those of ordinary skill in the art ought can make various corresponding changes and distortion according to the present invention, but these corresponding changes and distortion all should belong to the protection range of the appended claim of the present invention.
