Description
Technical Field
The present invention relates to the field of communications, and in particular, to a resource allocation method and apparatus based on back-calculation charging.
Background
Currently, with the mass emergence of various value-added services, operators need to reasonably allocate resources to users according to their current balances. Specifically, a general resource allocation scheme is to allocate a resource corresponding to a request service of a preset resource amount to a user according to the request service of the user, and deduct a corresponding amount from a current balance of the user; further, when the current balance of the user is lower than a certain threshold, for example, the resource of the preset resource amount is not allocated to the user, the allocation of the resource to the user is rejected. Therefore, based on the above scheme, if the current balance of the user is low, even if the current balance of the user is not zero, the user cannot perform any service.
In order to solve the above problems, a reverse charging scheme is adopted in the existing resource allocation scheme, that is, a resource allocation method based on reverse charging specifically includes that when the account balance of a subscriber is lower than a certain threshold, the account balance of the subscriber is divided by the unit resource amount of the request service according to the request service of the subscriber and the corresponding tariff condition, so as to calculate the resource amount of the resource corresponding to the request service to be allocated to the subscriber.
Although the above scheme enables the user with a low current balance to perform the service requested this time, based on the above scheme, because the balance of the user is already completely used for allocating the resource corresponding to the service requested this time to the user, after the charging request this time, the user will not have an account balance for performing other services, which reduces the reliability of the resource allocation scheme based on back-calculation charging.
