Especially, before charge information is collected in base station, RCPE sends accounting policy information corresponding to this UE to base station, be convenient to base station, according to this information search specific UE charge information or according to specific mode, the charge information of UE be reported to RCPE or other network equipment.Such as, the accounting policy information that RCPE sends to base station comprises the remaining data traffic information of this UE, then the frequency of the charge information reporting UE to RCPE can be determined in base station according to this data traffic information; Such as when the remaining data traffic information of UE is lower than 10Mbit, then just reported once every 1 minute, otherwise just reported once every 1 hour, the amount of reporting of base station can be reduced like this under majority of case (user data traffic is sufficient), alleviate the burden of RCPE.Again such as, the accounting policy information that RCPE sends to base station comprises indication information, be used to indicate the charge information type that base station needs to collect, such as, for common discharge user, only need to collect its data traffic information occurred that communicates, and for temporally signing user, only need to collect duration information that its communication occurs etc.

Preferably, the charge information that subscriber equipment use communication service is collected according to information transmission path in base station comprises: base station judges whether to collect the charge information that subscriber equipment uses communication service according to information transmission path; If information transmission path is for be connected to core net by base station, then do not collect by base station the charge information that subscriber equipment uses communication service, collect by core net the charge information that subscriber equipment uses communication service; And if information transmission path is by base station accessing group data net, or information transmission path is the miscellaneous equipment being connected to base station by base station, then the charge information that subscriber equipment uses communication service is collected in base station.

RCPE carries out charging to the communication service that the core net not by mobile communications network occurs.Here the accounting capabilities scope of RCPE is limited further, thus carried out Functional division for charging, namely traditional BOSS carries out charging to the communication service occurred by core net, and RCPE carries out charging to the communication service not by core net, thus there is stronger compatibility and flexibility, also namely most of function of legacy network devices is continued, and only needing increases RCPE and the corresponding interface, and the function with regard to energy good support such as LIPA and SIPTO also carries out charging separately.

The communication service that RCPE only occurs for the core net not by mobile communications network sends routing policy information and accounting policy information to base station, and correspondingly, charge information also only can be collected for this kind of communication service in base station.

In embodiments of the present invention, if subscriber equipment is conventional mobile communications UE, that is to say, this UE only supports to carry out communication service by core net, or this UE only contracts with operator conventional mobile communications business, then RCPE does not just need to send routing policy information and accounting policy information to base station, and all flow processs are same as the prior art; And only having not by the communication service that mobile communication core net occurs, RCPE just sends routing policy information and accounting policy information to base station, corresponding, and charge information is also only collected for this kind of business in base station.By such mode, the communication service do not undertaken by core net is considered as particular service, conventional mobile communications UE can not be affected, such as, base station just directly sends to S-GW after receiving the information of traditional UE, and do not need to judge how route, thus ensure the time delay of conventional mobile communications UE.In addition, the behavior of this event triggering (Event-triggered) decreases the communication between RCPE and base station and processes complexity.

Preferably, after the charge information of subscriber equipment use communication service is collected in base station, the processing method of the embodiment of the present invention also comprises: charge information is sent to routing and charging strategy equipment by the first logic interfacing by base station; Or charge information is sent to gateway S-GW by base station.

Particularly, the accounting policy information that base station RCPE sends is collected after charge information, then charge information is sent to routing and charging strategy equipment and carries out statistics charging.Such as, or the accounting policy information that base station sends according to RCPE collects charge information, then charge information is sent to S-GW, is processed or forwards, be transmitted to BOSS and realize charging by S-GW to the charge information collected.

Alternatively, after charge information is sent to routing and charging strategy equipment by the first logic interfacing by base station, processing method also comprises: the charge information received is sent to charging gateway CG by routing and charging strategy equipment; Or the charge information received is sent to business operation support system BOSS by routing and charging strategy equipment; Or routing and charging strategy equipment carries out charging according to the charge information received to subscriber equipment.

Particularly, RCPE obtains after charge information from base station, then sends to CG; Or RCPE obtains after charge information from base station, then sends to BOSS; Or RCPE obtains after charge information from base station, carries out charging according to charge information; Or the accounting policy information that base station sends according to RCPE collects charge information, then charge information is sent to S-GW.

Here list several preferred version, can collect charge information by RCPE and be transmitted to CG or BOSS, the operation of such RCPE be comparatively simple, but needs to define the interface between RCPE and CG or BOSS; Or RCPE directly carries out charging according to charge information, existing system can be maintained so constant as far as possible, not need to define the interface between RCPE and CG or BOSS; Or RCPE does not collect charge information, but charge information is sent to S-GW by base station, more finally sends to BOSS to realize charging charge information by existing flow process, at utmost can simplify the operation of RCPE.

Further, routing and charging strategy equipment is connected to charging gateway by the second logic interfacing, after charge information is sent to routing and charging strategy equipment by the first logic interfacing by base station, the processing method of communication service information also comprises: charge information is sent to charging gateway CG by the second logic interfacing by routing and charging strategy equipment; Or, routing and charging strategy equipment is connected to business operation support system BOSS by the 3rd logic interfacing, after charge information is sent to routing and charging strategy equipment by the first logic interfacing by base station, processing method also comprises: charge information is sent to business operation support system BOSS by the 3rd logic interfacing by routing and charging strategy equipment.

Particularly, RCPE and CG is connected by the second logic interfacing, and the charge information of collection is sent to RCPE by base station, and RCPE sends to CG by the second logic interfacing again.

RCPE is directly connected to CG as shown in Figure 5, and wherein RCPE and CG is connected by IRC interface, and sends charge information to CG.CG and BOSS is still connected by traditional Bp interface, and final charge information is aggregated into BOSS, by BOSS unified management.

By such mode, the expense that UE is correlated with by the communication service that conventional mobile communications network carries out not only can be recorded in BOSS, can also record UE by alternate manner, expense that the communication service carried out without core net is relevant, thus operator can carry out unified charging to the latter.

Alternatively, RCPE and BOSS is connected by the 3rd logic interfacing, and the charge information of collection is sent to RCPE by base station, and RCPE sends to BOSS by the 3rd logic interfacing again.

RCPE is directly connected to BOSS as shown in Figure 6, and the 3rd logic interfacing and IRB interface, can realize above-mentioned benefit equally.Relative to the mode of Fig. 5, RCPE and BOSS is directly connected here, thus eliminates the process of wherein CG, reduces time delay; Preferably, RCPE also can have the function of charging gateway, such as, can converge the charge information from base station, then unification sends to BOSS; Be different from the place of CG in figure to be, RCPE process be the charge information of the communication service carried out without core net.

Preferably, routing and charging strategy equipment is following part one of at least: gateway, Mobility Management Entity, charging gateway, business operation support system.Particularly, RCPE can be a part of S-GW, or a part of MME, or a part of CG, or a part of BOSS.

Because base station is connected with S-GW and MME subsistence logic in the prior art, therefore, RCPE can be embedded in S-GW or MME as a part wherein, and in Fig. 1, the also corresponding enhancing of the function of S1-U or S1-MME interface, can maintain the network architecture constant like this.

Fig. 7 gives the network architecture diagram that RCPE is a part of CG, and wherein difference from prior art is, adds IRE interface between CG and base station, and CG too increases RCPE device.RCPE is that the embodiment of a part of S-GW or MME is more simple, does not introduce new interface, and just enhances S1-U or S1-MME interface, or RCPE is exactly a device of BOSS, and principle, to similar above, repeats no more.

Especially, BOSS marks the charge information obtained from RCPE.

In practice, the user of multiple routing plan can be selected flexibly usually to wish to understand the detailed expense of the communication service oneself carried out respectively by various routing plan, therefore the embodiment of the present invention marks the charge information obtained from RCPE, thus realizes this function.Such as, can record certain user in BOSS has the data traffic of 50M byte to be occurred by traditional core net, and has the data traffic of 200M byte to be connected to PDN by base station directly to occur.

Preferably, when charge information is reported to routing and charging strategy equipment by base station, base station during any one situation, reports the charge information after communication to routing and charging strategy equipment: subscriber equipment is switched to idle pulley from connection mode below occurring; What base station received routing and charging strategy equipment reports instruction; Paging user equipment failure; Base station and subscriber equipment step-out; Base station and communications of user equipment interrupt; Base station receives the new accounting policy information that routing and charging strategy equipment sends; The communication surplus of subscriber equipment is not enough; Subscriber equipment is switched to other base stations.

Particularly, base station can when occurring a period of time of following event then report charge information: UE from connection mode enter idle pulley or base station receive RCPE report instruction or UE to be switched to other base station or with UE step-out or to the paging failure of UE or and the communication disruption of UE or the communication surplus deficiency of UE.Wherein, idle pulley and connection mode is defined in LTE system, after UE has accessed certain base station, idle pulley (Idle mode) or connection mode (Connected mode) may be entered, in general, base station needs then to be configured by UE with UE interactive service data to enter connection mode, when UE is in holding state, does not then enter idle pulley with base station interactive service data, now can resource needed for release connection pattern, such as control channel specific to this UE etc.; Therefore, when UE enters idle pulley from connection mode, can represent the sign off that UE is current, now base station also can report charge information to RCPE.Or RCPE sends to base station and reports instruction also can the reporting of trigger base station, such as, can trigger RCPE when the communication that user inquires about oneself is single in detail and send this instruction to base station.Other situation repeats no more.By the mode that such event triggers, alleviate the burden of RCPE equally.

Preferably, routing and charging strategy equipment is connected to home subscriber server HSS by the 4th logic interfacing, receive the policy information of routing and charging strategy equipment transmission in base station before, processing method also comprises: home subscriber server HSS sends user equipment information by the 4th logic interfacing to routing and charging strategy equipment; And routing and charging strategy equipment is according to user equipment information determination policy information.

In the present invention, RCPE can determine routing and charging policy information according to the information of certain UE (such as communicate CAMEL-Subscription-Information), such as, for the contracted user of conventional mobile communications operator, then routing and charging policy information is used to indicate base station and the business information of this user is routed to core net, and indicates base station not collect charge information (being collected by core net); And for the contracted user that Home eNodeB covers, then routing and charging policy information is used to indicate the PDN that the business information of this user is routed to base station connection by base station, and base station is indicated to collect charge information, etc.In conventional mobile communications system, the information of UE is managed by HSS usually, and other system then comprises user information center for managing the information of UE.

Preferably, receive the policy information of routing and charging strategy equipment transmission in base station before, processing method also comprises: the access request that base station receives user equipment sends, access request carries address information to be visited, access request provides the radio communication service for address to be visited for asking base station to subscriber equipment, and base station is comprised by the information transmission path of the communication service of routing policy information determination user equipment requests: base station is according to the information transmission path of the communication service of routing policy information and address information determination user equipment requests to be visited.

By above described in embodiment, the routing plan of the embodiment of the present invention comprises: (1) business information is connected to the core net of mobile communications network, (2) business information is connected to the PDN be connected with base station, and (3) business information is connected to the miscellaneous equipment being in same local network with UE.

Wherein, (1) i.e. the scheme of existing mobile communications network, (2) SIPTO technology of the prior art is equivalent to, both describes above, (3) similar LIPA technology of the prior art, for the scene of such as being accessed local miscellaneous equipment by local area network, the program can alleviate the burden of core net equally, such as, mobile phone accesses home printer by Home eNodeB, etc.This few class routing plan can distinguish corresponding different contracted users, such as: the contracted user of (1) corresponding conventional mobile communications operator, (2) contracted user of corresponding Home eNodeB covering, (3) corresponding all users, comprise not yet signing user, etc.

Alternatively, base station is not only according to the route of the routing policy information comformed information of RCPE transmission, also determine according to the address information of feature namely with access of Content of Communication, wherein, the access request that subscriber equipment sends carries address information to be visited, and this access request provides the radio communication service for address to be visited for asking base station to subscriber equipment.Such as, when UE sends service request to base station, the IP address of access can be carried; Base station can extract accessed IP address, if find that this IP address is local IP, is then judged as that this UE carries out route according to situation (3).(other step does not limit, and such as base station also needs the comprehensive descision etc. such as the access way desired by self ability and UE).

The APN that different routing plans is corresponding is different, and routing policy information can comprise APN.In existing mobile communications network, people use different APN to distinguish different networks usually, and such as CMWAP and CMNET is exactly two different APN, and user can configure different APN for mobile phone, thus accesses different networks.In the present invention, above-described three kinds of routing plans also can be regarded as different networks, can arrange different APN respectively for them; The routing policy information that RCPE sends to base station comprises the information of APN, the APN that such as routing plan (2) is corresponding, after base station receives, just judges to adopt routing plan (2) according to APN.

In the present invention, routing policy information specifically can show as the numbering (such as 1 ~ 3 scheme can be represented by 2 bits) of routing plan, also can be that by the instruction of enable or disable, (such as often kind of scheme can be represented by 1 bit routing plan, 1 represents enable, 0 represents disable, altogether needs 3 bits), etc., RCPE and base station can be arranged these by standard criterion and be numbered or the corresponding implication of bit, and the present invention does not limit.

Preferably, receive the policy information of routing and charging strategy equipment transmission in base station before, processing method also comprises: base station sends billing information request to routing and charging strategy equipment, billing information request is for asking accounting policy information, wherein, after routing and charging strategy equipment receives billing information request, send accounting policy information to base station.

Base station sends billing information request to RCPE, and then RCPE sends accounting policy information to base station again.Like this by the mode of base station requests accounting policy information, the frequency that RCPE sends accounting policy information can be reduced, also reduce the process of RCPE.Especially, such as, billing information request is that charging starts announcement information, namely base station sends message to RCPE, start to collect charge information to RCPE informing base station, then RCPE sends accounting policy information to base station, and base station is determined to continue the information collected and the information etc. reported according to accounting policy information again.

Preferably, after base station receives the policy information of routing and charging strategy equipment transmission, processing method also comprises: store accounting policy information, wherein, below appearance during any situation, deletes the accounting policy information of storage: paging user equipment failure; Base station and subscriber equipment step-out; Base station and communications of user equipment interrupt; Base station receives the new accounting policy information that routing and charging strategy equipment sends; The communication surplus of subscriber equipment is not enough; Subscriber equipment is switched to other base stations.

Particularly, namely base station stores after receiving accounting policy information, deletes this accounting policy information first when what following event occurred: UE be switched to other base station or with UE step-out (unsynchronize) or to the paging failure of UE or and UE communication disruption or receive the communication surplus deficiency of new accounting policy information that RCPE sends or UE.Like this, RCPE transmission primary charging policy information can be triggered when UE enters base station coverage area, base station can store, whenever UE just can use at any time when communication behavior repeatedly occurs in the overlay area of this base station, and not needing repetition to apply for RCPE, this mode also can reduce the process of RCPE; When there is above-mentioned anomaly, the accounting policy information stored is deleted in base station.To represent that base station and UE lose synchronous with UE step-out, in synchronous communication system, need to make the clock of the both sides of radio communication adjust to same frequency, if lose synchronous, communication just cannot be carried out, one of possible cause of step-out is exactly that UE occurs abnormal (such as do not have electricity, conductively-closed, be switched to other region etc.), can interrupt with the communication of base station, therefore not need to store accounting policy information again, follow-up UE again connects with base station in process and asks this information to RCPE again.To the paging of UE represent network needs initiate and the communication of UE time operation, if paging failure, be likely that UE occurs abnormal.The communication surplus of UE is not enough, such as, the residual flow information that base station first obtains UE from RCPE is 10Mbit, in base station for UE provides in the process of communication service, if find, residual flow only remains 1Mbit, then report charge information to RCPE, the mode triggered by event like this reports charge information, can reduce the frequency reported equally.Remaining cost deficiency mentioned in this article can be residual flow is zero, or lower than a certain thresholding; Can for the integrated communication situation of this UE, also can for partial service of this UE (such as video communication) etc.

Preferably, after the charge information of subscriber equipment use communication service is collected in base station, processing method also comprises: whether the communication surplus under current radio communication service that subscriber equipment is detected in base station is less than predetermined threshold value; If detect that the communication surplus under radio communication service of subscriber equipment is less than predetermined threshold value, then base station sends the information of communication surplus to subscriber equipment, and stops providing radio communication service to subscriber equipment; And base station reports the charge information of the communication service stopping occurring before radio communication service to routing and charging strategy equipment.

Billing statistics, after the charge information getting subscriber equipment, is carried out to subscriber equipment in base station, detects the communication surplus of subscriber equipment under the current radio communication service provided, such as, the remaining sum of call, the residual flow of flow package, the residue note quantity etc. of note set meal.Judge whether this communication surplus is less than predetermined threshold value, and this predetermined threshold value can be arranged as required, such as 0, different communication services can arrange different threshold values.Such as, the predetermined threshold value of surfing flow can be set to 0, detects whether the surplus of surfing flow is less than 0, and if so, then base station sends this communication surplus to subscriber equipment is the information of 0, and stops offering wireless internet services to subscriber equipment.Further, the charge information of the communication service occurred before communication service is cut off is reported to routing and charging strategy equipment or other network equipments by base station.

Particularly, if base station finds residue communication, surplus is used up, then send communication balance information to UE, automatically close the communication of UE and PDN, and report charge information to routing and charging strategy equipment or other network equipments.In the present invention, base station can obtain accounting policy information, wherein can comprise the residue communication surplus that UE is corresponding, in base station for this UE provides in the process of communication service, then can independently initiate above-mentioned behavior, and do not need core net or Cloud Server instruction to carry out again, alleviate the burden of the latter so equally; Because remaining cost information corresponding for this UE is sent to base station by routing and charging strategy equipment or other network equipments in advance, therefore the program can ensure that base station sends the accuracy of information to UE equally.Equally, communication surplus here can for the integrated communication situation of this UE, also can for partial service of this UE etc.

Routing and charging strategy equipment or other network equipments can send access indication information to base station, instruction base station provides communication service for UE, and this situation such as user supplements with money after being apprised of remaining cost deficiency; Once Cloud Server detects that user supplements with money, base station is namely indicated to provide communication service for UE.

RCPE can send access indication information to base station, instruction base station provides communication service for UE, and this situation such as user supplements with money after being apprised of remaining cost deficiency; Once RCPE detects that user supplements with money, base station is namely indicated to provide communication service for UE.

In embodiments of the present invention, accounting policy information specifically can show as the numbering (such as 1 ~ 3 scheme can be represented by 2 bits) of billing scheme, also can be that by the instruction of enable or disable, (such as often kind of scheme can be represented by 1 bit billing scheme, 1 represents enable, 0 represents disable, altogether need 3 bits), etc., RCPE and base station can be arranged these by standard criterion and be numbered or the corresponding implication of bit, and the present invention does not limit.

Preferably, policy information comprises: charging correction indication information, and after the charge information of subscriber equipment use communication service is collected in base station, processing method also comprises: base station is revised the charge information collected according to charging correction indication information; And revised charge information is sent to the network equipment for carrying out billing statistics by base station.This network equipment being used for carrying out billing statistics can be routing and charging strategy equipment, also can be other network equipments with this function.
