Fig. 2 realizes in the specific embodiment of the invention being applied to communication field by the flow chart that flow point rate is switched, and adopts situation about switching based on duration pre-payment realization flow point rate to describe, and concrete steps are as follows:
Step 21: access server/prepayment client is initiated authentication to the user who is linked into the data, services network, and the prepaid server authorized user uses prepayment service, comprises the pre-payment quota in the authorization message and arrives the flow difference that flow point rate is switched;
Described prepayment service comprises the pre-payment based on flow, perhaps based on the pre-payment of duration.
The flow difference that described arrival flow point rate is switched, be included in during the regular hour in, the user accumulates the flow difference of the total flow of consumption to the switching of flow point rate; The flow difference that the flow that consumes when perhaps this access of user begins switches to flow point rate.
When the user uses prepayment service, set up a plurality of concurrent services.
Step 22: prepayment client statistics user uses the data service total flow;
Prepayment client statistics user uses the data service total flow; Prepayment client carries out the operation of online updating quota according to the operating position of pre-payment quota with prepaid server.
Prepayment client statistics user uses data service duration total amount, adds up and calculates by a plurality of concurrent services of user.
Step 23: after the user used the total flow of data service to arrive the flow difference of flow point rate switching, prepayment client was initiated pre-payment quota update request to prepaid server;
After the user used the total flow of data service to arrive the flow difference of flow point rate switching, prepayment client was initiated the pre-payment quota and is upgraded operation, reports institute's allocated quota operating position to prepaid server, and asked to distribute new quota.
Prepayment client is initiated quota immediately and is upgraded operation after the total flow of data service arrives the flow difference of flow point rate switching.
Prepayment client is initiated quota and is upgraded when operating, and quota is all initiated in each concurrent service upgraded operation.
Prepaid server is specified prepayment client to initiate quota in rate is switched back regular hour section and is upgraded operation in the flow difference of switching for prepayment client return flow point rate; Prepayment client is initiated quota and is upgraded operation in this official hour section, and carries the quota information of using before and after the tariff switch point.

Step 24: prepaid server is adjusted rate after receiving that the rate of prepayment client is switched the quota update request, according to new rate for the user distributes new quota, and return new quota;
Prepaid server can arrive the flow difference that next flow point rate is switched to the prepayment client mandate.
Step 25: the user continues to use data service, uses up to user offline or user's account.
Prepayment client carries out the operation of online updating quota according to the operating position of quota with prepaid server.
Fig. 3 is an example with the pre-payment of CDMA (Code Division Multiple Address, code division multiple access) system, describes based on the embodiment that the flow point rate of duration pre-payment is switched realizing.
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 (Packet Data Service Node is called for short PDSN) or home agent (Home Agent is called for short HA); The realization of its prepaid services function is PPC and ownership authentication, mandate and accounting server (Authentication﹠amp; Authorization﹠amp; Accounting is called for short AAA)/prepaid server PPS adopts realizing alternately of expansion dial-in customer remote authentication (Remote Authentication Dial-In UserService is called for short RADIUS) message; Wherein belonging to AAA can realize with the PPS unification, also can set up realization separately.
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 authorization messages 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 quota 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 quota 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 authorization message with prepaid server.
The prepaid accounting ability (Prepaid Accounting Capability, PPAC): PPC utilizes this attribute to belonging to the prepayment capabilities that AAA/PPS circulates a notice of its support, the prepayment mode that PPS utilizes this attribute authority to select; The value of described prepaid accounting ability 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 prepayment client does not possess prepayment capabilities, and current sessions can not use prepayment service.
(Prepaid Accounting Quota, PPAQ): flow or duration quota information that indication is authorized or used in prepayment service, the value of prepaid accounting quota comprise authorizes amount, thresholding or has used quota etc. the prepaid accounting quota.When the user reaches the standard grade, prepayment client sends authentication request to ownership AAA/PPS request authentication, ownership AAA/PPS judges that this user is the prepaid user, and positive account balance 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 the AAA/PPS of the request ownership simultaneously quota new for the user distributes thus, realizes the real-time deduction function of user data service.
(PrePaidTariffSwitching, PTS): indication rate in prepayment service is switched mandate and corresponding rate handover information in the prepayment rate switching.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 handover trigger, 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. 3, Fig. 4 are that the cdma system of the specific embodiment of the invention is realized the flow chart that the duration rate is switched.Wherein, the function of PPC is realized by PDSN, ownership AAA/PPS is responsible for writing down portable terminal (Mobile Station, abbreviation MS) uses the total flow of data service in during certain hour, when the prepaid data that please look for novelty as the user is professional, return the flow difference that current request arrives the switching of flow point rate when the pre-payment mandate by ownership AAA/PPS; After flow point tariff switch point arrives, the rate handover trigger, ownership AAA/PPS upgrades rate, for the user redistributes quota by new rate.
Switch the sub-attribute of increase in PTS: rate switching flow difference (TariffSwitchVolumeInterval, TSVI) the express time tariff switch point time interval for realizing flow point rate; (TimeIntervalafterTariffSwitchUpdate needs to initiate the quota renewal in how long after TITSU) expression flow point rate is switched can to use the duration difference that rate switch to upgrade.
In PPAQ, increase sub-attribute: use total flow (VolumeUsedOfAll, the duration total amount that a Service Instance or a plurality of Service Instance used when VUOA) the expression user carried 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.
The invention will be further described below in conjunction with instantiation.
First embodiment,
Fig. 3 is that the cdma system of the specific embodiment of the invention is realized the flow chart that flow point rate is switched, and realizes switching based on the rate of flow point, and wherein can comprise the duration difference TITSU that the rate switching is upgraded in the authorization message, concrete steps are as follows:
Step 31:PDSN provides the data access service for MS, ownership AAA/PPS authorized user uses the prepaid services based on duration, in authorization message, comprise the pre-payment quota (DurationQuota that is distributed, DQ) and thresholding (DurationThreshold, DT) and arrive the flow difference TSVI of flow point rate switching;
Step 32:PDSN statistics user uses the total flow VUOA of data service; When the duration of user's use arrived thresholding DT, PDSN initiated online quota update inquiry information to ownership AAA/PPS;
Carry the current duration quota information of having used in the online quota update inquiry information.
Step 33: after ownership AAA/PPS receives online quota update inquiry information,,, return online quota to PDSN and upgrade response message again for the user distributes new quota DQ1 and new thresholding DT1 according to account's situation of user; After PDSN accepts this message, upgrade processing accordingly;
Step 34: the total flow VUOA that uses as the user reaches the flow difference TSVI that flow point rate is switched, and PDSN initiates online quota update inquiry information;
Carry the quota information of having used in the online quota update inquiry information.
Step 35: ownership is adjusted rate after AAA/PPS receives online quota update inquiry information, according to new rate quota DQ2 new for the user distributes and new thresholding DT2, returns online quota renewal response message to PDSN; After PDSN accepts this message, upgrade processing accordingly;
After ownership AAA/PPS receives online quota update inquiry information, judge the current flow point rate switching that taken place, adjust rate, quota DQ and the thresholding DT new for the user distributes according to new rate return online quota to PDSN and upgrade response message.
Online quota is upgraded in the response message can comprise the TSVI that next flow point rate is switched.
Step 36: during user offline, PDSN initiates online quota update inquiry information to ownership AAA/PPS, and the use total flow VUOA of this data service of user also returns to ownership AAA/PPS by PDSN;
Carry the quota information of having used in the online quota updating message.
Step 37: ownership AAA/PPS stops user data service according to online quota updating message, and process user account consumes situation, returns online quota to PDSN and upgrades response message.
If in step 31, comprise the duration difference TITSU that the rate switching is upgraded in the authorization message, in step 34, when the total flow of user's use reaches the flow difference TSVI of flow point rate switching, PDSN can not initiate online quota update inquiry information, when using duration to arrive thresholding DT1 or arrival duration difference TITSU Deng the user, PDSN initiates online quota update inquiry information again.
Second embodiment,
Fig. 4 is that the cdma system of the specific embodiment of the invention is realized another flow chart that flow point rate is switched, with respect to Fig. 3, the each quota of authorizing of ownership AAA/PPS is all carried the flow difference to tariff switch point of renewal, and comprises a plurality of tariff switch point, and 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, in authorization message, comprise the pre-payment quota (DurationQuota that is distributed, DQ) and thresholding (DuraionThreshold, DT) and arrive the flow difference TSVI of flow point rate switching;
Step 42:PDSN statistics user uses the total flow VUOA of data service, and when the duration of user's use arrived thresholding DT, PDSN initiated online quota update inquiry information to ownership AAA/PPS;
Carry the current duration quota information of having used in the online quota updating message.
Step 43: after ownership AAA/PPS receives online quota update inquiry information, account's situation according to the user, again distribute the flow difference to tariff switch point of new quota DQ3, new thresholding DT3 and renewal for the user, return online quota to PDSN and upgrade response message; After PDSN accepts this message, upgrade processing accordingly;
Step 44: the total flow VUOA that uses as the user reaches the flow difference TSVI that flow point rate is switched, and PDSN initiates online quota update inquiry information;
Carry the quota information of having used in the online quota update inquiry information.
Step 45: ownership is adjusted rate after AAA/PPS receives online quota update inquiry information, according to new rate quota DQ4 new for the user distributes and new thresholding DT4, returns online quota renewal response message to PDSN; After PDSN accepts this message, upgrade processing accordingly;
Ownership is after AAA/PPS receives online quota update inquiry information, judges that the current flow point rate that taken place switches, and the adjustment rate according to new rate quota DQ4 new for the user distributes and new thresholding DT4, is returned online quota renewal response message.
Online quota is upgraded and is comprised the TSVI that next flow point rate is switched in the response message.
Step 46: during user offline, PDSN initiates online quota update inquiry information to ownership AAA/PPS, and the use total flow VUOA of this data service of user also returns to ownership AAA/PPS by PDSN;
Carry the quota information of having used in the online quota update inquiry information.
Step 47: ownership AAA/PPS stops user data service according to online quota updating message, and process user account consumes situation, returns online quota to PDSN and upgrades response message.
Equally, when realization was served based on the prepaid data of flow in cdma system, also can adopting uses the same method realized the switching of flow point rate.Be that with above flow process difference prepaid server licenses to the prepaid data service of prepayment client use based on flow, allocated quota information is the flow quota information.
