Description

Access processing method, core management network element and network system
Technical field
The present invention relates to communication field, relate in particular to a kind of access processing method, core management network element and network system.
Background technology
Along with the develop rapidly of the communication technology, user is also more and more higher to the requirement of the communication technology, the communicating requirement day by day increasing in order to meet user, and the various new communication technologys are pushed out; Third generation partner program (3GPP) and non-3GPP (non-3GPP) normal structure are being studied a kind of new access module at present: family's access module; By family's access module, subscriber equipment (User Equipment, UE) can be by wireless family access point (as being deployed in the base station in family or community or in enterprise), the frequency spectrum of the usage license, is connected to the mobile network of operator by general IP access network (as Digital Subscriber Line (DSL:Digital Subscriber Line), cable broadband (Cable broadband) etc.).Wherein, the frequency spectrum of license can be universal mobile telecommunications system land radio access web (UMTS Terrestrial Radio AccessNetwork, UTRAN), universal mobile telecommunications system land radio access web (the Evolved UMTSTerrestrial Radio Access Network of evolution, E-UTRAN), code division multiple access access (Code DivisionMultiple Access, CDMA), micro-wave access global inter communication (Worldwide Interoperability forMicrowave Access, Wimax), WLAN (wireless local area network) (Wireless Local Area Network, WLAN), HRPD (high rate packet data) (High Rate Packet Data, HRPD) etc. the frequency spectrum that network is used.
In order to limit UE, access specific access network element (as wireless family access point or specific WAP (wireless access point) etc.), introduced closed user's group (Closed Subscriber Group, CSG) mechanism, CSG identifies some UE and (or is referred to as user, Subscriber), these UE allow one or more community of access carrier, but these communities are that restriction accesses to other UE, thereby realize the differentiated service to UE.A CSG region (area) comprises Yi Ge community (Cell) or multiple community, and these little area definitions access one group of UE.A CSG region identifies with CSG sign (ID).Wireless family access point or the WAP (wireless access point) with CSG function have two kinds of access modules: mix access module (Hybrid access mode) and sealing access module (Closed access mode).For mixing access module, CSG member's (also can be described as CSG user or CSG UE) and non-CSG member (be that user is not a user in CSG, also can be described as non-CSG user or non-CSGUE) can be linked into by having the wireless family access point of CSG function or WAP (wireless access point) the network of operator; For sealing access module, only have CSG member just can be linked into by thering is the wireless family access point of CSG function or WAP (wireless access point) the network of operator.Wherein, in order to realize better differentiated service, CSG member can be divided into different priority, and the member that priority is different can enjoy different services.
For operator, by using the wireless family access point of CSG function or WAP (wireless access point) to be linked into operator after the network of operator, for these users' charging rate (Charging rate) or charge mode (Charging model), with user, charging rate or the charge mode after by the network of grand (macro) network insertion operator is likely different to user; For the CSG that mixes access module, CSG member and non-CSG member's charging rate or charge mode are likely also different.
In prior art, charge system cannot be obtained the CSG information of UE, thereby the CSG information that charge system cannot be realized based on UE is determined charging rate or charge mode, and then UE is carried out to the charging of differentiation.
Summary of the invention
In view of this, the embodiment of the present invention proposes a kind of method that accesses processing, and core management network element sends to charge system by the CSG information of the UE obtaining so that charge system can be obtained the CSG information of described UE.
