Embodiment
The embodiment of the invention provides a kind of internetwork roaming charging method, and as shown in Figure 1, present embodiment is example with the call business, and present embodiment can also apply to other types of service such as note, multimedia message.Comprise:
The user roams into rete mirabile network (being the network of different operators) overlay area, not service of user's belonging network in the zone of the rete mirabile network coverage, user place Virtual network operator by with the cooperation of rete mirabile Virtual network operator, make the rete mirabile network allow user's access heterogeneous network network.When the user roams into rete mirabile network (being the network of different operators) overlay area, the visitor location register of rete mirabile network (VisitorLocation Register, VLR) extract user profile, and by with the cooperation agreement of Virtual network operator with user's information be sent to the user home location register (Home Location Register, HLR).For example, the band of position identification code with the user is sent in the home location register at user place by visitor location register.User's the home location register information that the user is current is upgraded.
The user is the request of making a call in the rete mirabile network's coverage area, because not service of user's belonging network in this zone, the rete mirabile network is transferred to the customer call request in user's belonging network by the cooperation agreement of user place Virtual network operator.User's belonging network according to the home location register of the request that makes a call under the user of rete mirabile network switch inquire about the band of position identification code that this initiations asks (LocationArea Identity, LAI).
Band of position identification code comprises national code, network code and position code on coded format, this coded format has guaranteed corresponding unique random zone of band of position identification code or position.And, band of position identification code process standard strict difinition, and all be unified in the network of each operator, can be different because of the setting of different operators.
The user's belonging network band of position identification code that inquiry is stored in advance according to band of position identification code and the rate mapping table of charging rate corresponding relation obtain charging rate.This rate mapping table can be as following table 1:
Rate mapping table (table 1)
Rate B
Band of position identification code A calling party home network is called out the rete mirabile network
The long-distance local telephone network of long-distance local telephone network
4,600,112,345,678 0.15 yuan 0.08 yuan 0.20 yuan 0.10 yuan
Wherein, A is the band of position, a user's rete mirabile roaming place identification code, and B is a rete mirabile roaming place rate; Search the rate B of described band of position identification code A correspondence according to described band of position identification code A.
For example, user's first is in rete mirabile network M city roaming, band of position identification code its 4600112345678, the user dials trunk call rete mirabile user at the rete mirabile calling network, then the rate that inquiry obtains this time calling according to table 1 is 0.20 yuan of per minute.
Optionally, this rate mapping table can comprise message area setting table and Fee Schedule.For example: operator's first does not have the network coverage in H city and two places, J city, and operator's second has the network coverage, concerning the intelligent network user of operator's first, service control point can obtain the LAI coding (specifically as previously mentioned) of operator's second in H city and J city, and defines its charging area code.As following table is a message area setting table:
Message area is set table (table 2)
LAI roaming place charging area code
4600112345678 H cities (operator's second) 1111
4600187654321 J cities (operator's second) 2222
4600010000001 Beijing (operator's first) 1001
4600020000001 Shanghai (operator's first) 1002
Obtain message area by the message area definition list, charge in conjunction with Fee Schedule again according to band of position identification code correspondence.For example for the user of Shenzhen (operator's first), can in conjunction with the Fee Schedule of definition roaming users between networks being chargeed according to message area that finds or charging area code, is a Fee Schedule as table 3 (continuous table 2):
Fee Schedule (table 3)
The called charging area code of caller charging area code rate
(H city) 1111 Beijing (operator's first) are roamed into rete mirabile and dial affiliated net toll telephone
(J city) 2222 J cities (operator's second) are roamed into rete mirabile and dial the rete mirabile local call
In the present embodiment, adopt band of position identification code to determine the roaming place of user in the rete mirabile network, obtain charging rate in conjunction with the band of position identification code of storage in advance and the rate mapping table of charging rate corresponding relation.Because uniformity and the uniqueness of band of position identification code in each network, determining that according to the band of position identification code roaming place of user in the rete mirabile network is accurately, is accurately so obtain in conjunction with the band of position identification code of storage in advance and the rate mapping table of charging rate corresponding relation that charging rate charges according to band of position identification code.
Please in conjunction with referring to Fig. 2, the embodiment of the invention provides a kind of internetwork roaming charging method, and present embodiment is example with the call business, and present embodiment can also apply to other types of service such as note, multimedia message.Comprise:
