Embodiment 1
Present embodiment provides a kind of charge on traffic method; In the present embodiment; Is that example describes with the Network Access Point for Home eNodeB HNB; Its identical charging method can extend to Network Access Points such as various little base stations, macro base station, distributed base station, and as shown in Figure 1, said charge on traffic method may further comprise the steps:
101: Network Access Point (present embodiment is a Home eNodeB) detects user equipment (UE) by the business datum of bypass
102: said Network Access Point (present embodiment is a Home eNodeB) reports heartbeat message to core net, and said heartbeat message comprises that said UE is by the flow information of the business datum of bypass and/or duration information;
103: after said core net is received said heartbeat message, said UE is chargeed by the flow of the business datum of bypass and/or duration information according to said heartbeat message.
Alternatively, before above-mentioned steps 101, may further include:
100:HNB defines said heartbeat message.
The embodiment of the invention with said UE by the flow of the business datum of bypass; Flow information and/or duration information that to be UE insert the business datum in the home network through the Gi mouth report equipment of the core network through heartbeat message and charge, thereby have realized UE is flowed into business datum flow and/or the charging of duration information in the home network through the Gi mouth.
As shown in Figure 2, wherein, the heartbeat message that core net reports according to Home eNodeB HNB carries out flow and/or duration information charges, and specifically comprises step:
201: after the business support node SGSN that is positioned at core-network side receives the said heartbeat message that is sent by Home eNodeB, generated charge information by the flow information of the business datum of bypass and/or duration information according to UE described in this heartbeat message;
202:SGSN is uploaded to charge system with said charge information and charges.
Above-mentioned steps has been described the performing step of realizing this flow and/or duration information charging method; Fig. 3 is the network topological diagram that present embodiment is realized flow and/or duration information charging method; Like Fig. 3 or shown in Figure 4, the data traffic of the last generation of UE is accessed to home network by the flow of bypass through the Gi mouth through behind the HNB; Other data traffic still through home gateway, security gateway, HNB gateway, business support node SGSN and gateway GPRS support node, finally inserts the Internet network.The embodiment of the invention flows into UE the flow information of the business datum in the home network or should business injects duration information that the business of home network uses reports core net through heartbeat message business support node SGSN through the Gi mouth through the Gi mouth; Business support node SGSN generates charge information according to this heartbeat message; And then this charge information is uploaded to the charge system in the core net, thereby realize UE is flowed into the flow information of the business datum in the home network through the Gi mouth and/or the duration information of use charges.
Like Fig. 5 is the flow chart that prior art is carried out charge on traffic, because Home eNodeB HNB does not report the mechanism of heartbeat message to business support node SGSN, causes part can't be chargeed by the flow of bypass to home network.Its step comprises:
5.1: PDP context activating;
5.2: Home eNodeB HNB carries out bypass to the flow among the UE;
5.3:HNB bypass flow is carried out NAT to be handled;
5.4:HNB will not need the flow of bypass to access to core net.Here be noted that Fig. 3-Fig. 4 is the structural representation of realizing that this charging method embodiment is corresponding, but not in the representative graph all devices for realizing the necessaries of this charge on traffic method.
Alternatively, said HNB can periodically report said heartbeat message to business support node SGSN; Or as required preestablish on the HNB heartbeat message on call time, the flow of business datum is chargeed more neatly realizing.
HNB reports the process of heartbeat message as shown in Figure 6 to SGSN, and its step comprises:
6.1: PDP context activating;
6.2: Home eNodeB HNB carries out bypass to the flow among the UE through the Gi mouth;
6.3:HNB carry out NAT and handle to carry out data after the bypass through the Gi mouth; Here be divided into following two sub-steps again:
6.3.1 Home eNodeB HNB will be by the data upload of bypass to security gateway;
6.3.2 Home eNodeB HNB is uploaded to heartbeat message the business support node SGSN of core-network side;
6.4:HNB will be not by the data upload of bypass to security gateway, the most do not need the data of bypass finally to access to core net.
Need to prove; Step 6.4 is the final explanations to data flow in the above-mentioned 6.3.1 step, promptly when in the 6.3.1 step, Home eNodeB HNB will be not by the data upload of bypass to security gateway; Security gateway finally can upload the data to the HNB gateway; Go up data upload to business support node SGSN and gateway GPRS support node GGSN again, data are delivered to the PS core net the most at last, i.e. step 6.4.
6.1 to 6.4 of above-mentioned steps flow in declarative data, the sequencing of not representing them to carry out.
The flow information that said UE inserts the business datum in the home network through the Gi mouth comprises a said user equipment (UE) data downloaded flow and/or a last employed duration of the said user of measurement period in the data traffic of uploading and/or a last employed duration of the said user of measurement period and the last measurement period of said user equipment (UE) in user equipment (UE) information, the last measurement period.
In the present embodiment; HNB realizes chargeing through report heartbeat message to core net; Specifically; Be that HNB reports said heartbeat message to SGSN, flow information in the heartbeat message that said SGSN reports according to HNB and/or duration information generate charge information, and charge information is reported charge system charge.
To divide back paying and two kinds of situation of pre-payment to describe respectively below.
As shown in Figure 7, if the user of UE is the postpaid service user, then said SGSN generates charge information and this charge information is reported charge system and charges and be specially:
Serving GPRS Support Node SGSN generates call detail record CDR according to the heartbeat message that Network Access Point reports;
Serving GPRS Support Node SGSN is transmitted to charging gateway CG with said call detail record CDR and charges.
As shown in Figure 8; If the user of UE is the prepaid user; Then said Network Access Point reports heartbeat message to core net; Said heartbeat message comprises said UE by the flow information of the business datum of bypass and/or duration, is specially so that said core net is chargeed by the flow of the business datum of bypass to said UE according to said heartbeat message:
Serving GPRS Support Node SGSN reports heartbeat message to SCP, so that SCP obtains the prepayment information of corresponding UE;
Serving GPRS Support Node SGSN is sent to the service control point (SCP) with the said UE that draws together in the said heartbeat message by the flow information of the business datum of bypass and/or duration information; So that said SCP is according to the prepayment information of said UE, and said UE is refreshed remaining flow of said UE and/or duration information by the flow of the business datum of bypass and/or duration information;
Serving GPRS Support Node SGSN receives remaining flow and/or the duration information of the said UE after the service control point (SCP) is refreshed.
In conjunction with Fig. 8; This charging process further can be described as; Serving GPRS Support Node SGSN is according to the information of UE in the said heartbeat message,, obtain the CAMEL message of said UE; And send the applying portion CAP message of CAMEL message to the service control point (SCP), so that SCP obtains the prepayment information of said UE;
Serving GPRS Support Node SGSN statistics already used flow of UE and/or duration report the service control point (SCP) and refresh charging; SCP is according to the prepayment information of corresponding UE; Calculate in conjunction with already used flow of the UE that receives from SGSN and/or duration, obtain remaining flow and/or the duration information of said UE
Serving GPRS Support Node SGSN receives remaining flow and/or the duration information of the said UE after the service control point (SCP) is refreshed.
For the prepaid user; Because Network Access Point reports the CAMEL message that comprises corresponding UE in the heartbeat message to core net; SGSN sends to SCP (service control point, service control point) with the CAP in the CAMEL message of this UE (CAMEL Application Part, CAMEL Application Part) message; Make SCP obtain the prepayment information of this UE, said prepayment information comprises that corresponding UE allows flow and/or the duration that uses.Simultaneously; SGSN can statistics of user's go up an already used flow of measurement period and/or duration; And report at interval or preset measurement period reports SCP with flow and the duration that the user uses according to the appointment in the CAP message; SCP refreshes remaining flow and/or the duration of UE, and is handed down to SGSN, and SGSN uses according to the remaining flow of UE and/or the business of duration restriction UE.
For each UE, HNB needs definition heartbeat message separately, and business support node SGSN could charge separately to each UE after receiving the heartbeat message that HNB reports.
Fig. 9 is a protocol stack diagram between UE and the SGSN in the embodiment of the invention, through this protocol stack, can understand the protocol interaction process between UE and the SGSN.
