Therefore, network road is provided to weigh the first user equipment for second user equipment by the available credit amount of second user equipment By when, nargin that second user equipment can be paid.In other words, when the 2nd UE only possesses certain available credit amount, Radio Link could be established with the first UE to be connected.Technical scheme has wide applicability.

Alternatively, in step 201, request message is established in the 2nd UE Radio Link connection can carry the pre- of the 2nd UE Consumer credit amount.

Further, in step 202, if the 2nd UE pre-consumer credit line is available less than or equal to the 2nd UE Credit line, then can allow to establish Radio Link connection between the first UE and the 2nd UE, after step 202, the first UE to Response message is established in the Radio Link connection that 2nd UE returns carry successfully instruction, and the Radio Link indicated with success, which connects, to be built Vertical response message is used to indicate to establish Radio Link connection between the first UE and the 2nd UE.Or in step 202, if the Two UE pre-consumer credit line be more than or equal to the 2nd UE available credit amount, then can forbid the first UE and the 2nd UE it Between establish Radio Link connection.After step 202, the first UE returns wireless with cause value with unsuccessfully indicating to the 2nd UE Link connection establishes response message.

For example, request message is established in the Radio Link connection that the first UE receives the 2nd UE transmissions, Radio Link connection is built Vertical request message carries the 2nd UE pre-consumer credit line.Radio Link connection is established request message through base station by the first UE The CTF being sent in the MME of core net（Charging Trigger Function, charging triggering function entity）.CTF The cell of request message is established in parsing Radio Link connection, by the Cell Encapsulation of the 2nd UE pre-consumer credit line in charging thing In part, charging event is sent to OCS.OCS parses the pre-consumer credit of the 2nd UE marks and the 2nd UE in charging event Amount, the 2nd UE pre-consumer credit line is compared with the available credit amount in the 2nd UE accounts.A kind of real Under existing mode, if the 2nd UE pre-consumer credit line is less than or equal to the 2nd UE available credit amount, OCS sends band There is the Radio Link successfully indicated connection to establish response message to the first UE（Through base station and CTF）, so that the first UE is to the 2nd UE The wireless link response message for carrying successfully instruction is returned, Radio Link connection is established between the first UE and the 2nd UE. Under another implementation, if the 2nd UE pre-consumer credit line is more than the 2nd UE available credit amount, OCS is sent Connected with unsuccessfully instruction with the Radio Link of cause value and establish response message to the first UE（Through base station and CTF）, the first UE to 2nd UE is returned with the unsuccessfully wireless link response message of instruction and cause value.

In another example controlled entity can be when the Radio Link for receiving the 2nd UE connects and establishes request message, inquiry the The available credit amount of two user equipmenies.If the 2nd UE available credit amount is more than or equal to the threshold of some credit line Value, it is determined that the first UE can establish Radio Link between the 2nd UE and be connected, and controlled entity sends to carry to the first UE successfully to be referred to Response message is established in the Radio Link connection shown, is disappeared so that the first UE returns to the successful response of wireless link to the 2nd UE Breath.If the 2nd UE available credit amount is less than the threshold value of the credit line, controlled entity sends band to the first UE and lost Lose and indicate to connect with the Radio Link of cause value to establish response message, lost so that the first UE returns to wireless link to the 2nd UE The response message lost.Wherein, the threshold value of credit line can be pre-set by controlled entity.

It should be understood that how the embodiment of the present invention according to the 2nd UE available credit amount determines whether to establish to controlled entity The concrete mode that Radio Link connects between first UE and the 2nd UE is not construed as limiting.

Further, after step 202, controlled entity can update first according to the 2nd UE pre-consumer credit line UE available credit amount and the 2nd UE available credit amount.For example, controlled entity adds the first UE available credit amount Available credit amount of the upper 2nd UE pre-consumer credit line as the first UE after renewal；By the 2nd UE available credit volume Degree subtracts available credit amount of the 2nd UE pre-consumer credit line as the 2nd UE after renewal.

Alternatively, controlled entity to the first UE send carry successfully indicate Radio Link connect establish response message it Afterwards, controlled entity can monitor the consumption of the 2nd UE credit line according to the 2nd UE pre-consumer credit line.Enter one Step ground, controlled entity can update the first UE available credit amount and second according to the consumption of the 2nd UE credit line UE available credit amount.Obtained more for example, the 2nd UE available credit amount is subtracted into the credit line that the 2nd UE consumed The available credit amount of the 2nd UE after new；First UE available credit amount is obtained plus the credit line that the 2nd UE has been consumed The available credit amount of the first UE after must updating.

It should be understood that no matter controlled entity updates the first UE available credit amount and the 2nd UE available letter in which way The scope of the present invention is each fallen within amount.

By such scheme, the first UE of Radio Link access service is provided for the 2nd UE can obtain income, and second UE has also been paid as direct beneficiary.So, it is effectively improved the 2nd UE and access is route by the first UE network The applicability of network.For Internet Service Provider, due to the 2nd UE in the weak overlay area of network or coverage hole still So have access to network and carry out data service, so as to add the business income of Internet Service Provider.

Alternatively, above-mentioned credit line can be as the amount of money of virtualization.The letter exchanged between first UE and the 2nd UE It is directly proportional that the time t of network route can be provided for the 2nd UE to the first UE with amount E, i.e. E ∝ t；Or the first UE and second The credit line E exchanged between UE and the 2nd UE accesses the data traffic that network occurs（2nd UE receives and dispatches byte number or transmitting-receiving Byte number sum）B is directly proportional, i.e. E ∝ B etc..

For example, controlled entity can determine nothing between the first UE and the 2nd UE according to the 2nd UE pre-consumer credit line E1 The maximum retention time length of wired link connection is t1, and is built in the Radio Link connection that successfully instruction is carried to the first UE transmissions Start timer while vertical response message.Controlled entity can setting value t1 on the timer, carry out countdown.A kind of real Under existing mode, when timer then, that is, the 2nd UE pre-consumer credit line E1 has been consumed.Now, controlled entity can To send Radio Link connection release request message to the first UE, Radio Link connection release request message is used to indicate the first UE Radio Link between release and the 2nd UE connects.It is, the first UE no longer provides network route for the 2nd UE.Controlled entity E1 can be added to the first UE available credit amount updated after the first UE available credit amount, by the 2nd UE can The available credit amount of the 2nd UE after E1 is updated is subtracted with credit line.Under another implementation, in timer T1 then before, controlled entity receive the first UE transmission Radio Link connection release request message when, controlled entity determine The retention time length that first UE is connected with the 2nd UE Radio Links is t2.Correspondingly, the credit line that the 2nd UE has been consumed is Retention time length is the quantized value E2 corresponding to t2.The available credit amount that E2 can be added to the first UE by controlled entity obtains The available credit amount of the first UE after renewal, the 2nd UE available credit amount is subtracted the 2nd UE's after E2 is updated Available credit amount.

Same UE is in the case of the first UE or the 2nd UE changing roles, for example, in Fig. 1 scene, in controlled entity UE105 available credit amount is E3, and UE107 available credit amount is E4 and UE109 available credit amount is E5.If UE105 is E1 as CF UE, UE109 AccessUE, and the UE109 credit line consumed, then after controlled entity renewal UE105 available credit amount is E3+E1 and UE109 available credit amount is E5-E1.Next time, if UE107 is as CF UE, UE105 are Access UE, and the credit line of UE105 consumption be E2, then UE105's after controlled entity renewal can use Credit line is E3+E1-E2 and UE107 available credit amount is E4+E2.Therefore, in same UE as the first UE or second In the case of UE role exchanges, the credit control method of the embodiment of the present invention is simple to operate, has wide applicability, and And the maintenance cost of diameter credit control process can be reduced.

In addition, Internet Service Provider can configure initial available credit volume in controlled entity according in advance for UE Degree.

The embodiment of the present invention is described more fully with reference to Fig. 3 example.

Fig. 3 is the indicative flowchart of the process of the credit control method of one embodiment of the invention.Fig. 3 should with PRA's With being illustrated exemplified by scene, it should be appreciated that the embodiment of the present invention is not limited this, and technical scheme can also be applicable One UE accesses the application scenarios of network by another UE.

301, Access UE send Radio Link connection to CF UE and establish request message.

Alternatively, request message is established in Radio Link connection can carry Access UE pre-consumer credit lines.

Radio Link connection is established request message and is sent to controlled entity by 302, CF UE.

Alternatively, in 3GPP agreements, controlled entity can be the OCS in Internet Service Provider's network.CF UE will be The Radio Link connection received in 301 steps establishes request message and is sent to CTF via e-NodeB, and CTF parsing Radio Links connect The cell for establishing request message is connect, by the Cell Encapsulation of the 2nd UE pre-consumer credit line in charging event, by charging thing Part is sent to OCS.

303, controlled entity determines whether CF UE establish Radio Link between Access UE and be connected.

304, controlled entity sends Radio Link connection to CF UE and establishes response message.

305, CF UE send Radio Link connection to Access UE and establish response message.

Alternatively, OCS parses the mark of the Access UE in charging event and Access UE pre-consumer line of credit Degree, Access UE pre-consumer credit line is compared with the available credit amount in the Access UE accounts.If Access UE pre-consumer credit line is less than or equal to Access UE available credit amount, then OCS can be through CTF and e- Response message is established in the Radio Link connection that NodeB carries successfully instruction to CF UE transmissions, and CF UE are by with success instruction Radio Link connection establishes response message and is sent to Access UE.If Access UE pre-consumer credit line is more than Access UE available credit amount, then OCS can through CTF and e-NodeB to CF UE send with unsuccessfully instruction and reason Response message is established in the Radio Link connection of value, and CF UE are returned with the unsuccessfully radio chains of instruction and cause value to Access UE Response message is established in road connection.

It should be understood that the present invention implements how according to Access UE available credit amount to determine that CF UE are to controlled entity The mode that Radio Link connection is established between the no UE with Access is not construed as limiting.

Therefore, carried by the available credit amount of second user equipment to weigh the first user equipment for second user equipment When being route for network, nargin that second user equipment can be paid, in other words, the 2nd UE only possesses certain available credit During amount, Radio Link could be established with the first UE and be connected.Technical scheme has wide applicability.

306, Access UE establish Radio Link with CF UE and are connected.

Access UE receive the Radio Link for carrying successfully instruction sent by CF UE and connect foundation in step 305 Response message, establish Radio Link with CF UE and be connected.

The consumption of 307, controlled entity monitoring Access UE credit line.

Alternatively, OCS can monitor Access UE credit line according to Access UE pre-consumer credit line Consumption.

Specifically, credit line can be quantified as the time.Controlled entity can be according to Access UE pre-consumer line of credit Degree E1 determines that the maximum retention time length that Radio Link connects between Access UE and CF UE be t1, and to CF UE hairs The Radio Link connection indicated with success starts timer while establishing response message.Controlled entity can be on the timer Setting value t1, carry out countdown.When timer then, that is, Access UE pre-consumer credit line E1 has been consumed, this When, controlled entity can perform step 308；Or before timer is then, controlled entity receives the nothing of CF UE transmissions During wired link connection release request message, controlled entity determines the retention time length that the first UE is connected with the 2nd UE Radio Links For t2.Correspondingly, the credit line that the 2nd UE has been consumed is that retention time length is quantized value E2 corresponding to t2.

It should be understood that what above-mentioned example was merely exemplary, rather than limitation of the present invention.The credit line of 2nd UE consumption The data traffic that network occurs can also be accessed to the 2nd UE when Radio Link connects between the first UE and the 2nd UE to directly proportional.

308, controlled entity sends Radio Link connection release request message to CF UE.

309, CF UE send Radio Link connection release request message to Access UE.

310, Access UE send Radio Link Connection Release response message to CF UE.

311, CF UE send Radio Link Connection Release response message to controlled entity.

312, CF UE are connected with Access UE release Radio Links.

313, controlled entity renewal CF UE available credit amount and Access UE available credit amount.

Alternatively, controlled entity can update CF UE available credit volume according to Access UE pre-consumer credit line The available credit amount of degree and Access UE.

Specifically, CF UE available credit amount is added Access UE pre-consumer credit line as renewal by OCS The available credit amount of CF UE afterwards；Access UE available credit amount is subtracted to Access UE pre-consumer line of credit Spend the available credit amount as the Access UE after renewal.The step can also send band by OCS to CF UE in step 304 Performed when thering is the Radio Link successfully indicated connection to establish response message.

Alternatively, controlled entity can update CF UE available letter according to the consumption of Access UE credit line With amount and Access UE available credit amount.

Specifically, Access UE available credit amount is subtracted into the credit line that Access UE have consumed to be updated The available credit amount of Access UE afterwards；The line of credit that CF UE available credit amount has been consumed plus Access UE The CF UE spent after being updated available credit amount.For example, in the example of above-mentioned 307 step, controlled entity can will be upper State E1 be added to CF UE available credit amount updated after CF UE available credit amount, by the available of Access UE Credit line subtracts the available credit amount of the Access UE after E1 is updated.Or E2 can be added to CF by controlled entity UE available credit amount updated after CF UE available credit amount, Access UE available credit amount is subtracted E2 updated after Access UE available credit amount.

It should be understood that the embodiment of the present invention is not construed as limiting to the execution sequence of step 313.

By such scheme, the first UE of Radio Link access service is provided for the 2nd UE can obtain income, and second UE has also been paid as direct beneficiary.So, it is effectively improved the applicability to user equipment diameter credit control.For For Internet Service Provider, data industry is carried out because the 2nd UE still accesses network in the weak overlay area of network or coverage hole It is engaged in so as to add the business income of Internet Service Provider.

Fig. 4 is the flow chart of the credit control method of one embodiment of the invention.Fig. 4 method is performed by the first UE.

401, the first user equipment receives the Radio Link connection that second user equipment is sent and establishes request message, radio chains The available credit amount that request message carries second user equipment is established in road connection.

402, the first user equipment monitors the credit of second user equipment according to the available credit amount of second user equipment The consumption of amount, and the Radio Link connection successfully indicated is carried to the transmission of second user equipment and establishes response message, with Just second user equipment establishes response message according to the Radio Link connection for carrying successfully instruction and establishes nothing with the first user equipment Wired link connects.

By such scheme, when the 2nd UE requests establish Radio Link with the first UE to be connected, the first UE is according to the 2nd UE Available credit amount monitor the 2nd UE credit line consumption.Therefore, Radio Link access clothes are provided for the 2nd UE First UE of business can obtain income, and the 2nd UE has also been paid as direct beneficiary.So, it is effectively improved The applicability for the network route access network that two UE pass through the first UE.For Internet Service Provider, because the 2nd UE exists The weak overlay area of network or coverage hole remain able to access network progress data service, are provided so as to add network service The business income of business.

Alternatively, when the 2nd UE of the first UE confirmations available credit amount deficiency, or between the first UE and the 2nd UE When the receiving and transmitting signal of Radio Link connection dies down, the first UE actively can send Radio Link connection release request to the 2nd UE and disappear Breath, and the credit line that the 2nd UE has been consumed is carried in the Radio Link connection release request message.Further, the 2nd UE connects After the Radio Link connection release request message for receiving the first UE transmissions, the 2nd UE sends Radio Link Connection Release to the first UE Response message.The Radio Link that 2nd UE is discharged between the first UE connects, and the credit line pair consumed according to the 2nd UE 2nd UE available credit amount is updated.

Alternatively, above-mentioned credit line can be as the amount of money of virtualization.The letter exchanged between first UE and the 2nd UE It is directly proportional that the time t of network route can be provided for the 2nd UE to the first UE with amount E, i.e. E ∝ t；Or the first UE and second The credit line E exchanged between UE and the 2nd UE accesses the data traffic that network occurs（Receive and dispatch byte number or transmitting-receiving byte number Sum）B is directly proportional, i.e. E ∝ B etc..

Alternatively, in step 402, the first UE can determine the first UE and according to the 2nd UE available credit amount E1 The maximum retention time length that Radio Link connects between two UE is t1, and sends Radio Link connection to the 2nd UE in the first UE Start timer while establishing response message.T1 is set on the timer, carries out countdown.

Under a kind of implementation, when timer then, that is, the 2nd UE available credit amount E1 has been consumed Situation.Further, the first UE can send Radio Link connection release request message to the 2nd UE, be released in Radio Link connection It is E1 to put and the credit line that the 2nd UE has been consumed is carried in request message.

Under another implementation, after step 402, before timer t1 is then, the first UE receives second During the Radio Link connection release request message that UE is sent, the first UE determines the time that the first UE is connected with the 2nd UE Radio Links Length is t2.Correspondingly, it is t2 that credit line E2, which is quantified as time span, i.e. the first UE determines the line of credit that the 2nd UE has been consumed Spend for E2.

Alternatively, in step 402, the first UE can according to the 2nd UE available credit amount E1 determine the first UE with The 2nd UE accesses the maximum data flow B1 of network transmitting-receiving when Radio Link connection is kept between 2nd UE.

Under a kind of implementation, when the first UE monitors that the data traffic of the 2nd UE access networks reaches B1, enter one Step ground, the first UE can send Radio Link connection release request message to the 2nd UE, disappear in Radio Link connection release request The credit line E1 that the 2nd UE has been consumed is carried in breath.

Under another implementation, before the first UE monitors that the data traffic of the 2nd UE access networks reaches B1, First UE receives the Radio Link connection release request message of the 2nd UE transmissions, and the first UE determines that current 2nd UE has accessed net The data traffic of network, it is assumed that be B2, correspondingly, the credit line that the 2nd UE has been consumed is the data flow that the 2nd UE has accessed network Measure as the quantized value E3 corresponding to B2.

It should be understood that above-mentioned example is merely exemplary ground, rather than limitation of the present invention.

Alternatively, after step 402, the first UE can be according to the consumption of the 2nd UE credit line to the first UE Available credit amount be updated.For example, the credit line that the first UE available credit amount has been consumed plus the 2nd UE The available credit amount of the first UE after being updated.

It should be understood that the embodiment of the present invention is not construed as limiting to the mode for updating the first UE available credit amount.

In addition, same UE can be interchangeable between the first UE or the 2nd UE role.For example, in Fig. 1 scene, UE105 provides routing function for other UE（UE105 is CF UE）, when UE105 is moved to the blind area of macro network covering, UE105 Network can be accessed by other CF UE（UE105 is Access UE）.

Fig. 5 is the flow chart of the credit control method of another embodiment of the present invention.Fig. 5 method is performed by the 2nd UE. And it is corresponding with Fig. 4 method, therefore will suitably omission and Fig. 4 embodiment repetitive description.
