Description
Technical field
The present invention relates to global microwave system (WiMAX) field, relate in particular to the method and system that a kind of triggering begins to charge.
Background technology
The WiMAX system generally is made up of three parts: terminal, access business network (ASN, Access Service Network) and be connected business network (CSN, Connect Service Network); Wherein, the structure of ASN comprises one or more base stations (BS) and one or more ASN gateway (AGW as shown in Figure 1, ASN-GW), and BS can be that multi-to-multi is connected with AGW, and promptly a BS can connect a plurality of AGW simultaneously, and an AGW also can connect a plurality of BS simultaneously; BS and AGW are by the R6 interactive interfacing, and be mutual by Interface R4 between each AGW.
Mainly comprise with the relevant logic entity that charges in the WiMAX system: charging proxy (Account Agent), Accounting Client (Account Client) and accounting server (Account Server); Wherein, charging proxy perception user automatically such as lands, withdraws from action, is used for gathering comprising flow, activating charge information such as duration, and the charge information of gathering is reported Accounting Client; Accounting Client is the Delivery Function between charging proxy and the accounting server, is transmitted to accounting server after the charge information encapsulation that is used for charging proxy is reported; Accounting server generates ticket according to the charge information that Accounting Client reports, and generally can take on accounting server by aaa server.
Wherein, charging proxy, Accounting Client generally reside among the AGW.WiMAX network work group (WiMAX NWG) standard is split as some logical functional entities with AGW, charging proxy resides in the data channel functional entity (DPF) that is used for the transmitting user data message, and Accounting Client resides in and is used for the authentication device (Authenticator) that authenticated user inserts legitimacy and authorizes traffic flow parameters.The WiMAXNWG standard also allows to be dispersed on a plurality of AGW at same user's Different Logic functional entity, like this, charging proxy at this user promptly may be located at different AGW respectively with Accounting Client, this means need by Interface R4 between charging proxy and the Accounting Client mutual, trigger and begin to charge, flow processs such as Intermediate Charging ICH, for example: after the initial access of user is finished, along with the base station has taken place to stride for user mobile, stride AGW or stride the switching of ASN etc., after switching is finished, its authentication device has moved on the AGW2, DPF is still on AGW1, and the Intermediate Charging ICH duration is overtime at interval, then need between charging proxy and the Accounting Client to trigger Intermediate Charging ICH alternately by Interface R4, specific as follows:
It is overtime at interval that step a1, charging proxy monitor the Intermediate Charging ICH duration, upgrades (Bulk Interim Update) request message in the middle of Accounting Client sends;
After step b1, Accounting Client receive described Bulk Interim Update request message, in the middle of charging proxy sends, upgrade and reply (Bulk Interim Update Ack) message, confirm to accept this message; And to aaa server transmission Intermediate Charging ICH request (Radius Accounting Request); Wherein, Bulk Interim Update request message and Bulk Interim Update Ack message are the self-defining Interface R4 message of WiMAX NWG;
After step c1, accounting server receive described Radius Accounting Request, send Intermediate Charging ICH to Accounting Client and reply (Radius Accounting Response) message, finish this Intermediate Charging ICH and trigger flow process.
But when user's authentication device is arranged on the different AGW with DPF, be Accounting Client with charging proxy on different AGW, the user be assigned in the IP address or for the user again sub-distribution during the IP address, at present, also not mutual by Interface R4 between charging proxy and the Accounting Client, trigger the method that begins to charge.
Summary of the invention
