Description
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of mobile communication, in particular to a gateway, a system and a method for counting flow in a resource application process.
Background
The Evolved Packet System (EPS) of the third Generation Partnership Project (3 GPP) is composed of an Evolved Universal mobile telecommunications System Terrestrial Radio Access Network (E-UTRAN), a Mobility Management unit (MME), a Mobility Management Entity (Mobility Management Entity), a serving gateway (S-GW), a Packet Data Network gateway (P-GW or PDN GW, Packet Data Network gateway), a Home terminal Server (HSS), an Authentication Authorization and Accounting (AAA, Authentication, Authorization and Accounting) Server of the 3GPP, a Policy and Charging Rules Function Entity (PCRF), and other support nodes.
Fig. 1 is a schematic diagram of an EPS system architecture according to the related art, in which Policy and Charging Control (PCC) is a part of the architecture, and functional entities of the PCC in the EPS architecture may be distributed as follows: the PCRF is a Policy and Charging rules Function entity, a Policy and Charging Enforcement Function entity (PCEF) exists in the P-GW, a Bearer Binding and Event reporting Function entity (BBERF) may exist in the S-GW, an Application Function entity (AF) of a service exists in an operator network Protocol (IP) service network, and a Subscription Profile Repository (SPR) may be integrated with the HSS.
In 3GPP, a corresponding PDN network can be found through an Access Point Name (APN). One connection of a UE to a PDN Network is commonly referred to as an IP Connectivity Access Network (IP-CAN) session.
The PCC is applicable to all 3GPP IP-CAN, and its architecture is shown in fig. 2, the PCRF is mainly responsible for formulating policy and charging rules, and issues the formulated PCC policy and charging rules to the PCEF through the Gx interface, and the PCEF installs and executes the PCC policy, and reports related events, and interacts charging information with the charging system.
The PCRF issues a Quality of service (QoS) rule to the BBERF through the Gxx interface, and the BBERF does not interact charging information with the charging system and is only responsible for bearing binding and reporting of related events. The AF provides service information to the PCRF through the Rx interface, the SPR stores service information signed by the terminal, and the PCRF can inquire the service information signed by the terminal from the SPR through the Sp interface. The PCEF sends the Online Charging information to an Online Charging System (OCS) through a Gy interface for Online Charging statistics, and sends the Offline Charging information to an Offline Charging System (OFCS) through a Gz interface.
Currently, in a PCC architecture, a PCRF may dynamically issue a PCC policy to a PCEF, where policy information includes QoS and charging information. And the PCRF formulates a PCC strategy according to the service related information provided by the AF, the bearing related information reported by the PCEF and the service information signed by the terminal in the SPR.
When a terminal initiates a certain data service, after receiving a first data packet of the uplink or downlink service data flow, gw (pcef) obtains a service identifier of the service data flow through a DPI (deep packet inspection) function inspection, initiates a request message to PCRF, carries the service identifier, and requests a PCC rule of the service data flow. Receiving a response message of the PCRF, terminating the service data flow if the PCC rule request is failed to be issued, and not performing relevant flow statistics on a data packet in the rule application response period; and if the valid PCC rule is issued, the GW (PCEF) executes the installation. If the offline charging function is executed on the data flow, the offline charging flow statistics is executed on the data flow from the effective PCC rule, and the related flow statistics is not executed on the data packet during the response period of the rule application. If the charging is online, after the PCC rule takes effect, the GW sends a request message to the OCS to request the flow quota. After receiving the response message of the OCS, if the effective quota is issued, performing online charging flow statistics on the data stream from the successful quota issuing, and performing relevant flow statistics on the data packet in the period of the rule application response and the quota application response; if no effective quota exists in the response message, the service data stream is terminated, and relevant flow statistics are not carried out on the data packets in the period of the rule application response and the quota application response. As can be seen, in the flow statistics of gw (pcef), there is a flow loss certainly for the service data flows that need to apply for the dynamic PCC rule to the PCRF and/or need to apply for the resource to the OCS. And the traffic statistics of the S-GW, all the data packets are included in the traffic statistics.
This inevitably results in inconsistent traffic control between the S-GW and the P-GW. And the traffic comparison between the S-GW and the OCS may not be consistent if the online charging function is performed.
