Step S104, core net node, according to the difference of controlled time period and/or geographic area, carries out charging with corresponding rate to one group of MTC equipment, generates charging data record.
Particularly, charging regulation information can be time window based group or location limit based group.If charging regulation information is time window based group, core net node is according to a default time window, judge the length of one group of MTC devices communicating time, time span is that time span is outside default time window within the controlled time period outside the controlled time period in default time window.To call duration time length, the MTC communication process within the controlled time period and outside the controlled time period carries out charging with the different rates of presetting to core net node, and recording gauge charge information.If charging regulation information is location limit based group, core net node, according to a default geographic area, judges that the place at place when one group of MTC equipment communicates is in default geographic area or outside region.Core net node carries out charging to the MTC communication process outside Nei He geographic area, geographic area with the different rates of presetting, and recording gauge charge information.Core net node gathers together the charge information of the MTC devices communicating business having recorded, and generates the group charging data record of one group of MTC equipment charging case of record.
Step S105, core net node is collected after the charging event of preset ratio equipment in one group of MTC equipment, generates charging data record.
Particularly, charging regulation information can be radio based group.If charging regulation information is radio based group, core net node records the sign of the MTC equipment communicating when MTC devices communicating, and the charge information of record communication.When core net node judges that in one group of MTC equipment, the existing MTC equipment that surpasses a preset ratio all carried out communication, the charge information that core net node has recorded this group gathers together, and generates the group charging data record of the charging case of one group of MTC equipment of record.
It should be noted that, in above-mentioned steps S103～step S105, core net node judges from different dimensions and carries out the communication process of MTC equipment according to charging regulation information, and its determination methods can make to carry out separately, also can carry out simultaneously.For example core net node can be added up the signaling data amount of one group of MTC equipment, and the MTC equipment being positioned at outside predeterminable area and predeterminable area is carried out to charging with different rates, when in this group MTC equipment, the existing MTC equipment that surpasses preset ratio all carried out communication, by the charge information generation group together charging data record of the MTC equipment of all records in this group.
Step S106, if core net node is determined the charging process carrying out based on carrying, generates the charging data record corresponding with the carrying of each MTC equipment.
Particularly, if the indication of core net node judgement charging data record is the indication of equipment charging data record, based on carrying, carry out charging, core net node records the charge information of the each communication of MTC equipment.Core net node gathers together the charge information of the MTC devices communicating business having recorded, and generates the equipment charging data record that records a plurality of MTC equipment charging case.
Step S107, not only comprises the indication of group charging data record but also comprises the indication of equipment charging data record, core net node not only carries out batch total expense but also carry out charging based on carrying to MTC equipment if charging data record is indicated.
Particularly, if charging data record indication has both comprised group charging data record, indication also comprised the indication of equipment charging data record, core net node, according to the method for step S103～step S105, generates and one group of group charging data record that MTC equipment is corresponding according to charging policy rule; And core net node, also according to the method for step S106, generates the equipment charging data record corresponding with the carrying of each MTC equipment.
Step S108, take and preset duration as interval or preset flow is interval, generates charging data record.
Particularly, it is that interval or preset flow are that interval generates charging data record that the charging regulation information that core net node obtains also comprises presetting duration.In above-mentioned steps S103～S107, core net node is according to after charging regulation Information generation group charging data record or equipment charging data record, core net node is also according to the rule in charging regulation information, take and preset duration as interval or preset flow is interval, the rule of generation group charging data record or equipment charging data record is controlled.For example, if charging data record is designated as the indication of group charging data record, when according to Preset Time interval generation group charging data record, every this Preset Time interval, core net node, by gathering together according to the charge information of the MTC devices communicating business of group charging data record indication record, generates the group charging data record of one group of MTC equipment charging case of record; When according to preset flow interval generation group charging data record, core net node is to adding up according to total data volume of the MTC devices communicating service charging information of group charging data record indication record record, when total data volume of this charge information reaches default flow interval, core net node gathers together the charge information of the MTC devices communicating business having recorded, and generates the group charging data record of one group of MTC equipment charging case of record.If charging data record is designated as the indication of equipment charging data record, when generating equipment charging data record according to Preset Time interval, every this Preset Time interval, core net node gathers together the charge information of the MTC devices communicating business having recorded, and generates the equipment charging data record that records a plurality of MTC equipment charging case; When generating charging data record according to preset flow interval, core net node is added up total data volume of the MTC devices communicating service charging information having recorded, when total data volume of this charge information reaches default flow interval, core net node gathers together the charge information of the MTC devices communicating business having recorded, and generates the equipment charging data record that records a plurality of MTC equipment charging case.If charging data record indication not only comprises the indication of group charging data record but also comprise the indication of equipment charging data record, the charging data record of generation group respectively and equipment charging data record according to the method described above.
