Description
Technical field
The present invention relates to strategy and charging control technology field, relate in particular to one with quantity monitoring method and beSystem.
Background technology
Third generation partner program (3rdGenerationPartnershipProiect, referred to as 3GPP)Strategy and charging control (PolicyandChargingControl, referred to as PCC) framework be an energyEnough be applied to the functional framework of multiple access technology. For example, be applied to UMTSThe terrestrial radio of (UniversalMobileTelecommunicationsSystem, referred to as UMTS) connectsMove in networking (UMTSTerrestrialRadioAccessNetwork, referred to as UTRAN), the whole worldCommunication system (GlobalsystemforMobileCommunication, referred to as GSM)/GSM numberAccording to strengthening evolution (EnhancedDataratesforGlobalEvolution, referred to as EDGE) wireless interfaceGrouping system (the EvolvedPacket of networking, intercommunicated wireless local area network (I-WLAN) and evolutionSystem, referred to as EPS) etc.
Fig. 1 is the schematic diagram of the non-roaming framework of Rel-8PCC of correlation technique, referring to Fig. 1 to PCCEach logical functional entity and interface function thereof in framework are described:
Application Function (ApplicationFunction, referred to as AF), provides connecing of service applicationEnter a little, the Internet resources that these service application are used need to carry out dynamic policy control. In service surfaceWhile carrying out parameter negotiation, related service information is passed to strategy and charging regulation function entity (Policy by AFAndChargingRulesFunction, referred to as PCRF). If these business information and PCRF'sStrategy is consistent, and PCRF accepts this negotiation; Otherwise PCRF refuses this negotiation, and same in feedbackTime provide the acceptable service parameter of PCRF. Subsequently, AF can return to subscriber equipment by these parameters(UserEquipment, referred to as UE). Wherein, the interface between AF and PCRF is Rx interface.
PCRF is the core of PCC, is responsible for the formulation of strategic decision-making and charging regulation. PCRF providesNetwork control rule based on business data flow, these network control rules comprise business data flow detection,Gate (GatingControl), service quality (QualityofService, referred to as QoS) control withAnd charging regulation based on data flow etc. The strategy of its formulation and charging regulation are sent to PCEF by PCRFCarry out, meanwhile, PCRF also needs to ensure that these rules are consistent with user's CAMEL-Subscription-Information. PCRF formulatesStrategy and charging regulation according to comprising: obtain and the information of traffic aided from AF; From the signing number of userObtain and user policy, billing control according to storehouse (SubscriptionProfileRepository, referred to as SPR)CAMEL-Subscription-Information; Obtain and the information of carrying network of relation from PCEF.
Strategy and charging execution function entity (PolicyandChargingEnforcementFunction, letterBe called PCEF) be usually located in gateway (Gate-Way, referred to as GW), carry out PCRF at loading endThe strategy of formulating and charging regulation. Business datum in the rule that PCEF sends according to PCRF flows throughFilter detects business data flow, and then these business data flows are carried out to the plan that PCRF formulatesOmit and charging regulation. In the time that carrying is set up, the rule that PCEF sends according to PCRF is carried out QoS mandate,And carry out gate control according to the execution of AF. The charging regulation sending according to PCRF, PCEF carries out phaseThe service data flow charge operation of answering, charging can be both online charging, can be also offline charging. AsFruit is online charging, and PCEF needs and Online Charging System (OnlineChargingSystem, abbreviationFor OCS) carry out together credit management. When offline charging, PCEF and off-line accounting system (OfflineChargingSystem, referred to as OFCS) between exchange correlation charge information. PCEF and PCRF itBetween interface be Gx interface, and interface between OCS is Gy interface, and interface between OFCSIt is Gz interface. PCEF is generally positioned on the gateway of network, as the GPRS gateway in GPRS is supported(PacketDataGateway is called for short packet data gateway in node (GGSN) and I-WLANFor PDG).
Bearing binding and event reporting function entity (BearerBindingandEventReportingFunction, referred to as BBERF). The checking that its function comprises bearing binding, up bearing binding withAnd event report. When UE accesses by E-UTRAN, and adopt PMIPv6 between S-GW and P-GWWhen agreement, BBERF is located in S-GW, in the time that UE accesses by the non-3GPP connecting system of trusted,BBERF is positioned at trusted non-3 GPP access network and closes, when UE by trustless non-3GPP access isWhen access system, BBERF be positioned at evolution packet data gateway (EvolvedPacketDataGateway,Referred to as ePDG), now, PCEF no longer carries out bearing binding function.
User-subscribed database (SPR) has been stored the user policy, billing relevant to charging with policy controlControl CAMEL-Subscription-Information. Interface between SPR and PCRF is Sp interface.
Online Charging System (OCS) and PCEF carry out the control of user credit under online charging mode togetherSystem and management.
Off-line accounting system (OFCS) completes the billing operation under offline charging mode together with PCEF.
It is a packet data network of access that PCC framework has been realized UE by above each functional entityThe IP that (PacketDataNetwork, referred to as PDN) sets up connects Access Network (IPConnectivityAccessNetwork, referred to as IP-CAN) policy and charging control of session.
In prior art, PCC supports dynamic consumption Monitoring and Controlling, to realize the network money based on real-timeSource is used total amount, carries out dynamic strategic decision-making. Consumption monitoring can be applicable to single business data flow,All business data flows (IP-CAN session-level) of group business data flow or an IP-CAN session.If UE has set up multiple IP-CAN sessions to certain PDN, consumption monitoring also can be applicable to that these are multipleIP-CAN session. The now consumption of IP-CAN session-level monitoring is these multiple IP-CAN sessions of monitoringAll business data flows. At present, consumption (usage) refers to user plane data traffic. In prior art,Adopt monitoring key (MonitoringKey) to identify an example that needs consumption monitoring, such as: PCRF worked asBe an IP-CAN session all traffic flow assignment MonitoringKey and corresponding threshold value, that, PCEF is according to all Business Stream flows of this threshold monitor IP-CAN, and uses this MonitoringKey identifies the consumption reporting. When PCRF is that a Business Stream or one group of business data flow have distributedWhen MonitoringKey and corresponding threshold value, MonitoringKey is carried at this business by PCRFIn PCC rule corresponding to data flow or one group of business data flow, so, PCEF will be according to this threshold value prisonMeasuring tool has the flow of the corresponding business data flow of PCC rule of identical MonitoringKey, and with being somebody's turn to doMonitoringKey identifies the consumption reporting. Current PCC framework support is monitored multiple simultaneouslyMonitoringKey example comprises consumption and certain concrete business of monitoring whole IP-CAN session simultaneouslyThe consumption of data flow, corresponding MonitoringKey and the business data flow of consumption of now IP-CAN sessionMonitoringKey be not identical.
Meanwhile, in SPR, can also preserve total safe level of certain PDN of user, for oneTotal safe level of all Business Streams of IP-CAN session, also can be called the every user (Per of every PDNPDNandUE) total safe level. In SPR, can also preserve some tool of certain certain PDN of userTotal safe level of body business, uses for total permission of a business data flow or one group of business data flowAmount, also can identify with MonitoringKey conventionally.
When user is established to after the IP-CAN session of certain PDN, SPR is handed down to total safe levelPCRF. When PCRF carries out consumption Monitoring and Controlling, PCRF subscribes to consumption to PCEF and reports(UsageReport) event trigger. After MonitoringKey is included in and issues in PCC rule,The PCC rule with identical MonitoringKey is shared threshold value corresponding to this MonitoringKey. WhenWhen MonitoringKey is not included in any PCC rule, all business data flows of IP-CAN sessionShare threshold value corresponding to this MonitoringKey. PCEF monitors consumption and has reached threshold value, IP-CANSession termination, comprise certain MonitoringKey all PCC rules all deleted/deexcitation orOn PCRF explicit request consumption, give the correct time, PCEF will be relevant since the last time reports to PCRF reportThe consumption Expenditure Levels of MonitoringKey. After PCRF receives and reports from the consumption of PCEF, PCRFBy the volume value that deduction reports from total safe level. If PCEF reports certain MonitoringKeyConsumption and need to proceed monitoring, so, PCRF will provide new threshold value to PCEF; If nothingNeed proceed monitoring, PCRF does not provide new threshold value to PCEF. When user's a APNWhen last IP-CAN session termination of (AccessPointName, referred to as APN), PCRFRemaining total safe level be will in SPR, preserve, total safe level of this PDN or this PDN comprisedTotal safe level of some concrete business.
At present, the support of PCC framework is called sponsored data and connects (Sponsoreddataconnectivity)Consumption monitoring. So-called sponsored data connect the consumption consumption that refers to that user institute access service produces, andNot to be born by user oneself, but born by business provider. Now, when user initiates such businessWhen access, AF, in the time providing business information to PCRF, also can provide business provider patronage to PCRFAccess the consumption threshold value (being the consumption that user can such business of free access) of such business. Now,The consumption threshold value of the consumption threshold value setting PCEF monitoring that PCRF issues according to AF, in the time arriving threshold value,PCEF notifies PCRF.
But there is following problem in prior art: if user has the session based on IP-CAN in SPRThe consumption subscription data of level, what PCRF need to be according to SPR is signing, and instruction PCEF monitoring is wholeThe accumulative total consumption of all business data flows of IP-CAN session. And now, user has accessed again certain and has been praisedThe business that helps data to connect, AF is by the consumption providing assistance to PCRF, and PCRF instruction PCEF monitorsThese sponsored data connect the consumption of business, the consumption consumption that the business connecting due to sponsored data producesBe to be born by business provider, cause consumption monitoring mistake.
