Basic thought of the present invention is to provide a kind of location-based use control method, and wherein, Online Charging System will provide user interface with configuration license list of locations and disabled position list for client.When client is belonging to while permitting the position of list of locations to call out, this calling is by licensed.When client calls out in the position that belongs to disabled position list, this calling will be rejected.Further, the solution of the present invention can also adopt location-based use control and time range to control to obtain more simultaneously and control, for each position, provide the time range of forbidding calling, or forbid that for each the time range of calling out provides the list of the position that allows use.
The location-based use that Fig. 1 exemplarily shows in the data session being applied to based on DIAMETER is controlled.
For voice and SMS calling, OCS carries out identical inspection when call setup:
-based on cell information definite area;
-this region is mapped to dedicated location;
-this dedicated location is compared with license list of locations and disabled position list;
-(optional) checks the time range of forbidding calling;
-determine that this calling is licensed or is rejected.
It should be pointed out that above-mentioned dedicated location is corresponding to the geographic area at user place.
As shown in Figure 1, in step 1, the credit that packet data gateway PGW or home agent HA send based on DIAMETER is controlled request (CCR, Credit-Control-Request) message is to OCS, this credit is controlled request and is comprised that property value is to AVP, such as customer position information User-Location-Info, triggering type Trigger-Type etc.
Then,, in step 2, the parameter in the CCR of OCS based on received determines whether to permit this calling.Particularly, the cell identifier of OCS based on being contained in customer position information carrys out definite area and this region is mapped to dedicated location.Then OCS compares to judge with license list of locations and disabled position list which list of locations is this dedicated location be in by this dedicated location.The result of this judgement is this dedicated location in license list of locations, so this calling is licensed.
Finally, in step 3, OCS returns to Credit Control Answer (CCA, Credit-Control-Answer) message based on DIAMETER to indicate this calling licensed to PGW/HA.
Further, when position is changed, PGW/HA will again send CCR message to OCS in step 4.Then, carry out the step 5 identical with step 2.This time result of determination be described dedicated location in disabled position list, so this calling is rejected.Finally in step 6, OCS send CCA to PGW/HA to indicate this calling to be rejected.
Fig. 2 exemplarily shows the control program of applied position and time range combination in the data session based on DIAMETER.
Method shown in Fig. 2 is similar to Fig. 1, and difference is, OCS judged described dedicated location be in license list of locations after, further check whether this callings is to carry out in one of a plurality of predetermined time ranges of forbidding calling.If this calling is in one of described a plurality of time ranges of forbidding calling, OCS directly returns and indicates this to call out unaccepted CCA message to PGW/HA; On the contrary, if this calling does not a plurality ofly forbid that in one of the time ranges of calling out, further the result based on described judgement determines whether to permit this calling described.
