The embodiment of the invention provides a kind of prepaid accounting method based on stream or session traffic, and the embodiment of the invention is that said stream or two quotas of session distribution are example with prepaid server, specifically sets forth this charging method based on stream or session traffic; Prepaid server can be distributed two quotas to this stream or session according to the LR information in the pre-payment request message, and one is the quota of LR data in this stream or the session, and another one is the quota of non-LR data in this stream or the session.Prepaid server is issued prepaid accounting equipment with these two quotas subsequently, and this prepaid accounting equipment can be prepayment client or pre-payment agency, and for example, in the WiMAX network, this prepayment client is PPC, and the pre-payment agency is PPA; Allow prepaid accounting equipment carry out concrete charge information record and deduct fees based on the actual type of data in stream or the session.The embodiment of the invention is PPS with said prepaid server specifically, and said prepaid accounting equipment is that PPA is an example, specifically sets forth this charging method based on stream or session traffic; As shown in Figure 3, this method comprises:

301, PPA sends first quota request message to PPC, comprises the LR indication information of stream or session in said first quota request message, is used to indicate whether said stream or session are stream or the session of supporting LR data and non-LR data transmission capabilities.

Wherein, In LR stream or session foundation; Act on behalf of PPA with LREP (Local Routing EnhancementPoint, local route is carried out entity) pre-payment together and send first quota request message to prepayment client, i.e. the initial quota application of pre-payment request; Carry stream or session related information, as: LR indication etc.; Wherein, PPA is optional existence, and LREP, PPA can be positioned on the physical entity with PPC simultaneously, and the message between them just changes into inside story at this moment, the outside interaction message between only surplus PPC and PPS.In addition, about the specific descriptions of said LR indication information, can be with reference to the corresponding description in the step 101 among the figure 1, the embodiment of the invention will repeat no more here.In addition, also have LRCP (LocalRouting Control Point, local route controlled entity) in fact in the LR system, it is used for LR stream or session control, comprises that LR flows or the foundation of session and maintenance etc.

302, after PPC receives said first quota request message of said PPA transmission, said first quota request message is transmitted to said PPS.

Wherein, When said PPC is transmitted to said PPS with said first quota request message, can insert the request message realization through sending to said PPS, the embodiment of the invention does not limit this; Also can adopt other transmission means, said first quota request message is transmitted to said PPS.

303, after said PPS receives said first quota request message of prepayment client transmission; According to the LR indication information that comprises stream or session in said first quota request message; Confirm whether said stream or session are to have stream or the session of supporting LR data and non-LR data transmission capabilities; After confirming that according to said LR indication information said stream or session be to have the stream or session of supporting LR data and non-LR data transmission capabilities; According to the LR charging policy is that said stream or session distribute two quotas; A quota in said two quotas is the corresponding quota of LR data in said stream or the session, and another quota is the corresponding quota of non-LR data in said stream or the session.

Wherein, the data charging rate of LR data and non-LR data is different in the said predetermined charging policy, so prepaid server can be calculated these two quotas according to different rates and this user's remaining sum.The quota size can difference also can be identical.It is just only to divide a quota value and a property value in the assembling response message, occurs and indicate LR and the size of non-LR is the same that individual message assembling scheme is arranged in the time of identical in addition, and deducting fees in the backstage still is to take off according to two different event.

304, said two quotas that will distribute of said PPS are associated under this stream or the session; And send to said PPC; So that said PPC is transmitted to said PPA with said two quotas, so that said PPA carries out accounting processing according to said two quotas to LR data in said stream or the session and non-LR data.

Wherein, said two quotas that said PPS will distribute are associated under this stream or the session, and when sending to said PPC, can said two quotas be carried at same access and accept to feed back in the message said PPC; But embodiment of the invention contrast does not limit, and can said two quotas be sent to said PPC through other transmission means yet.

305, after PPC receives said two quotas, said two quotas are transmitted to said PPA, so that said PPA carries out accounting processing according to said two quotas to LR data in said stream or the session and non-LR data.

Wherein, When said PPC is transmitted to said PPA with said two quotas; Can realize through send the initial quota notification message of pre-payment to said PPC; But the embodiment of the invention does not limit this, and said PPC also can send to said PPA with said two quotas through other transmission means.

306, after said PPA receives said two quotas, safeguard two quotas separately, and add up the flow of LR data and non-LR data in said stream or the session.

Wherein, Here need to prove; After said PPA receives said two quotas; Add up the flow of LR data and non-LR data in said stream or the session respectively, when the flow of LR data in said stream or the session or non-LR data arrives each self-corresponding predetermined quota thresholding of said LR data or non-LR data, saidly send second quota request message to said prepaid server; Perhaps when arriving each self-corresponding predetermined quota thresholding of said LR data or non-LR data for one in the flow of the flow of LR data in said stream or the session and non-LR data, saidly send second quota request message to said prepaid server; In the specific implementation; Do not limit; After the embodiment of the invention received said two quotas with said PPA, when the flow of said LR data arrived the corresponding predetermined quota thresholding of said LR data, said to send second quota request message to said prepaid server be that example is specifically set forth.

307, after the flow of LR data in said stream or the session reaches the corresponding quota thresholding of said LR data; Send second quota request message to said PPC, comprise the corresponding quota request information of LR data in said stream or the session in said second quota request message.

Wherein, The corresponding quota thresholding of said LR data is an empirical value, is less than or equal to said stream or session allocated quota as the one of which, and it can send when said prepaid accounting equipment is sent as said stream or session allocated quota in prepaid server; Also can be provided with in this locality of prepaid accounting equipment; But the embodiment of the invention does not limit this, and any method that the corresponding quota threshold value of said LR data can be set all belongs to the scope that the present invention protects.Said quota request information can also comprise: Update-Reason (upgrading the quota reason is that the LR thresholding reaches), Service-ID (corresponding stream or session identification), and LR flag information information such as (sign this application are the application of LR related data quota).

308, after said PPC receives said second quota request message, said second quota request message is transmitted to said PPS.

Wherein, When said PPC is transmitted to said PPS with said second quota request message; Can said second quota request message be transmitted to said PPS through inserting request message; But the embodiment of the invention does not limit this, can also adopt other transmission method that said second quota request message is transmitted to said PPS.

309, after said PPS receives said second quota request message,, be the new quota of LR data allocations in said stream or the session according to user balance information and said LR charging policy.

310, said new quota is associated under said stream or the session; And said new quota sent to said PPC; So that said PPC is transmitted to said PPA with it, make said PPA carry out accounting processing to LR data in said stream or the session and non-LR data according to said new quota.

Wherein, Said PPS is with said when sending to said PPC for the new quota of LR data allocations in said stream or the session; Can be through accepting to send in the message said PPC for the new quota of LR data allocations in said stream or the session is carried at said; But the embodiment of the invention does not limit this, can also said new quota for LR data allocations in said stream or the session be sent to said PPC through other transmission means.

311, after said PPC has received the new quota for LR data allocations in said stream or the session, it is transmitted to said PPA, so that said PPA carries out accounting processing according to said new quota to LR data in said stream or the session and non-LR data.

312, said PPA receives and saidly upgrades local prepaid data for after the new quota of LR data allocations in said stream or the session, flows or the session data fee deduction treatment with new quota.

313, whether said PPA comes the remaining sum of judges to exhaust according to user's quota information and the corresponding quota thresholding of said quota, and whether said stream or session need to stop; When confirming to exhaust and needing to stop said stream or session, trigger the flow process that stops stream or session charging.

Wherein, Whether said PPA comes the remaining sum of judges to exhaust according to user's quota information and the corresponding quota thresholding of said quota; The concrete realization whether said stream or session need stop can be with reference to any way of the prior art, and the embodiment of the invention will repeat no more here.For example, when being the quota thresholding of said allocation of quota correspondence, if the user also has sufficient remaining sum; Then the allocated quota thresholding is generally less than said allocated quota; If user's remaining sum can only be carried out the distribution of last quota, then the allocated quota thresholding equals said allocated quota, therefore; PPA can know just whether user's remaining sum will exhaust according to the corresponding relation of the corresponding quota thresholding of user's quota information and said quota.When PPA knew that allocated quota and quota thresholding equate, when this quota that receives runs out, the remaining sum of then just obtaining the user ran out.

314, when confirming that remaining sum exhausts after promptly this user prepayment account number has not had the situation of remaining sum; Said PPA stops request message and stops the charging of this stream or session to said PPC request with chargeing, said charging stops comprising in the request message information of LR data and non-LR data in said stream or the session.

Wherein, The information of said LR data and non-LR data; Comprise LR data and non-LR the data actual flow, quota index, termination behavior indication, professional correlated identities etc. of corresponding data separately, quota index wherein can direct index to before the allocated quota value.

315, after said PPC receives that this charging stops request message, it is transmitted to said PPS.

Wherein, when said PPC stops said charging request message and is transmitted to said PPS, can send to said PPS, but the embodiment of the invention do not limit to this, can it be transmitted to said PPS yet through other message through inserting request message.

316, after said PPS receives that said charging stops request message; After confirming the user account number state; Confirm to stop charging and stream or session; And,, make said PPA stop accounting processing to said stream or session so that said PPC is transmitted to said PPA with it to the message that said PPC sends response this stream of termination or session; And, upgrade user balance information based on the information in said LR charging policy and the said charging termination request message.

Wherein, need explain here the time, can temporarily forward the user to one in this step and supplement the page with money, let the user supplement the back again with money and use professionally, not so after the time of setting, will stop user's business.

317, said PPC transmits the pre-payment notification message and acts on behalf of the termination charging before confirming and the request of stream or session to pre-payment.

Wherein, need to prove here, few when user balance in certain service billing when the practical implementation embodiment of the invention, can only be quota of this traffic assignments, the new quota of application in the middle of can not having so; In addition, if professional long enough and its account balance that the user uses are enough, be can have repeatedly to be the new quota of this traffic assignments in the so professional use, the flow process between the corresponding step 307～312 can repeat; During the practical implementation embodiment of the invention, can carry out corresponding step as the case may be, the embodiment of the invention does not limit this.

Further, need to prove here that above-mentioned steps is with receive said two quotas as PPA after, when LR data in said stream of statistics or session and non-LR data, the flow of only adding up LR data in said stream or the session is concrete this method set forth of example; After PPA receives said two quotas; When LR data in said stream of statistics or session and non-LR data; Add up LR data and the flow of non-LR data in said stream or the session respectively; With only add up said stream or session in the difference of flow of LR data be: trigger the first, that to send the trigger condition of second quota request message to said prepaid server different; It is for when each self-corresponding predetermined quota thresholding of one in the flow of the flow of said LR data and the non-LR data said LR data of arrival or non-LR data; Saidly send second quota request message, and comprise the new allocation of quota solicited message of the corresponding quota request information of non-LR data in the corresponding quota request of LR data in said stream or the session and said stream or the session in said second quota request message to said prepaid server; Second; After said prepaid server receives said second quota request message; For the new quota of said stream or session distribution is different, it is according to user balance information and said LR charging policy, is respectively LR data and the new quota of non-LR data allocations in said stream or the session.For the description of other parts, can be with reference to the corresponding description in the above-mentioned steps, the embodiment of the invention will repeat no more.

During the present invention implements; For not only having the LR data but also having the stream or the session of non-LR data; When this stream of form through pre-payment or session are chargeed, through distributing and LR data and the corresponding quota of non-LR data the processing that LR data and non-LR data are chargeed respectively in realization convection current or the session respectively for stream or session; Realize distinguishing in same stream or the session charging respectively of LR data and non-LR data, thereby satisfy the demand of accurate flowmeter expense.

Embodiment 3

The embodiment of the invention provides a kind of prepaid accounting method based on stream or session traffic, and the embodiment of the invention is that said stream or quota of session distribution are example with prepaid server, specifically sets forth this charging method based on stream or session traffic; A said quota is the corresponding quota of rate the higher person in the corresponding quota of said non-LR data or said LR data and the non-LR data.Wherein, Prepaid server is when being said stream or session allocated quotas; Only distribute a quota, after the actual total flow of follow-up said stream or session reached the quota thresholding, it triggered new quota application; In request message, carry the information of LR data, comprise interior single of this cycle or LR size of data or type etc. in this this stream that adds up or session.After prepaid server PPS receives quota request message, the charging in this stream or the session is handled according to charging policy.Continue again subsequently to carry out the distribution of next new quota according to the higher common rate of rate.The embodiment of the invention is PPS with said prepaid server specifically; Said prepaid accounting equipment is that PPA is an example, and PPA is the optional function entity, in addition; Prepaid accounting equipment is specifically set forth this charging method based on stream or session traffic for also being PPC; As shown in Figure 4, this method comprises:

401, PPA sends first quota request message to PPC, comprises the LR indication information of stream or session in said first quota request message, is used to indicate whether said stream or session are to have stream or the session of supporting LR data and non-LR data transmission capabilities.

Wherein, In LR stream or session foundation, act on behalf of PPA with local route execution entity LREP pre-payment together and send first quota request message to prepayment client, i.e. the initial quota application of pre-payment request; Carry stream or session related information, as: LR indication etc.; Wherein, PPA is optional existence, and LREP, PPA can be positioned on the physical entity with PPC simultaneously, and the message between them just changes into inside story at this moment, the outside interaction message between only surplus PPC and PPS.In addition, about the specific descriptions of said LR indication information, can be with reference to the corresponding description in the step 101 among the figure 1, the embodiment of the invention will repeat no more here.

402, after PPC receives said first quota request message of said PPA transmission, said first quota request message is transmitted to said PPS.

403, after said PPS receives said first quota request message of prepayment client transmission; According to the LR indication information that comprises stream or session in said first quota request message; Confirm whether this stream or session are to have stream or the session of supporting LR data and non-LR data transmission capabilities; After confirming that according to said LR indication information said stream or session be to have the stream or session of supporting LR data and non-LR data transmission capabilities; According to the LR charging policy is that said stream or session distribute a quota, and a said quota is the corresponding quota of rate the higher person in the corresponding quota of said non-LR data or said LR data and the non-LR data.

404, the said quota that will distribute of said PPS is associated under this stream or the session; And send to said PPC; So that said PPC is transmitted to said PPA with a said quota, so that said PPA carries out accounting processing according to a said quota to LR data in said stream or the session and non-LR data.

Wherein, the said quota that said PPS will distribute is associated under this stream or the session, and when sending to said PPC, can a said quota be carried at and accept to feed back in the message said PPC; But embodiment of the invention contrast does not limit, and can a said quota be sent to said PPC through other transmission means yet.

405, after PPC receives a said quota, a said quota is transmitted to said PPA, so that said PPA carries out accounting processing according to a said quota to LR data in said stream or the session and non-LR data.

Here need to prove that a said quota is the corresponding quota of rate the higher person in the corresponding quota of said non-LR data or said LR data and the non-LR data.After said PPA receives a said quota; Rough is the total flow quota of LR data and non-LR data in said stream or the session with a said quota, and in the flow of the flow of the total flow of statistics LR data and non-LR data, LR data and non-LR data any two.Because the flow of LR data adds that the flow of non-LR data is to equal its total flow, so when statistics, can only add up wherein two flows, the another one flow can be through calculating.Above any two flow informations that according to a said quota and when reporting; Realization is chargeed respectively to LR data in said stream or the session and non-LR data; And when sending intermediate quota request or stopping chargeing; By prepaid server said rough charging is handled, specifically seen step 409.

Wherein, When said PPC is transmitted to said PPA with a said quota; Can realize through send the initial quota notification message of pre-payment to said PPC; But the embodiment of the invention does not limit this, and said PPC also can send to said PPA with a said quota through other transmission means.

406, after said PPA receives a said quota, safeguard this quota separately, and add up the total flow of LR data and non-LR data in said stream or the session.

407, after the corresponding quota threshold value of the said total flow of LR data in said stream or the session and reaching of total flows non-LR data; Send second quota request message to said PPC; Comprise in the following information any in said second quota request message, comprising: the information of LR data and the information of non-LR data in corresponding quota request information, said stream or the session of the information of non-LR data and said stream or session total flow in corresponding quota request information, said stream or the session of the information of LR data and said stream or session total flow in said stream or the session.

Wherein, The corresponding quota threshold value of said total flow is an empirical value; Be provided with according to the quota of LR data and the quota sum of non-LR data as the one of which, so that less than the quota of said LR data and the quota sum of non-LR data, it can send when said prepaid accounting equipment is sent as said stream or session allocated quota in prepaid server; Also can be provided with in this locality of prepaid accounting equipment; But the embodiment of the invention does not limit this, and any method that the corresponding quota threshold value of said LR data can be set all belongs to the scope that the present invention protects.

408, after said PPC receives said second quota request message, said second quota request message is transmitted to said PPS.

409, after said PPS receives said second quota request message, according to the information in said LR charging policy and said second quota request message charging of said stream or session is handled, and upgraded user balance information.

Wherein, when according to said LR charging policy and said LR data message the charging of said stream or session being handled, specifically handle according to the rate of LR data and the rate of non-LR data, concrete comprises:

When a quota of said distribution is the corresponding quotas of non-LR data; If the corresponding rate of said non-LR data is lower than the rate of LR data; Then when the charging of said stream or session being handled, need to append deducting fees to said stream or session based on said LR charging policy and said LR data message; If the corresponding rate of said non-LR data is higher than the rate of LR data, when the charging of said stream or session being handled based on said LR charging policy and said LR data message, need compensation deducting fees to said stream or session; When if the corresponding rate of said non-LR data and LR data is equal, then need deduct fees or append processing the charging of said stream or session.

When a quota of said distribution is the corresponding quota of rate the higher person in LR data and the non-LR data, when then the charging of said stream or session being handled, need deducting fees of said stream of compensation or session according to said LR charging policy and said LR data message.According to the rate of LR data and non-LR data and be the quota that said stream or session distribute, specifically concrete processing is carried out in the charging of said stream or session at specific embodiment, the embodiment of the invention does not limit this.
