It should be noted that, the business information described in the embodiment of the present invention is not limited to any business information, for example, and voiceCommunication service, short message service or network data service. The processing method of communication service information described in the embodiment of the present inventionCan be applied to respectively different UEs, or be applied to the different service types of same UE, or be applied to the phase of same UEWith the different communication object of type of service or address etc. Particularly, RCPE also to base station send UE information and/Or traffic type information and/or communication object information and/or mailing address etc., be convenient to base station and determine road according to these informationBy and billing scheme. For example, RCPE is respectively UE1 and UE2 sends different policy informations, UE1 and UE2Corresponding different routing plan or billing scheme, such as ENB is routed to core net to the business information of UE1, and ENBBusiness information to UE2 is routed directly to PDN; Or the different business that RCPE is respectively UE1 sends differentRouting and charging policy information, corresponding different routing plan or the billing schemes of the different business of UE1, such as ENBThe voice calling service of UE1 is not collected to charge information (being collected by core net), to the Internet online industry of UE1Charge information is collected in business; Or the different access address that RCPE is respectively the Internet business of UE1 sends differentRouting and charging policy information, route side corresponding to the different application of the Internet business of networking of UE1Case or billing scheme are such as ENB does not collect charge information (free service) to micro-letter application program of UE1, rightOther application program of UE1 is collected charge information (paid service), and ENB is right to the VoIP application of UE1 for another exampleThe business information of answering is routed to core net, is routed directly to PDN and other of UE1 applied to corresponding business informationEtc..
Charging process specifically comprises the following steps:
Step S1, the relevant charge information of UE is collected in base station.
Step S2, the charge information of UE is reported to other network equipment by base station.
Wherein, charge information is the relevant information of the communication service of UE generation, can be off-line or online charging information,The difference of these two is: online charging information can be by base station real-time report, and offline charging information does not need in real timeReport. Correspondingly, charge information can be also prepaid user's charge information and postpaid service user's charge information.
Other network equipment here refers to, other equipment except base station can be RCPE or S-GW, thisWill be explained hereinafter. Describe as an example of RCPE example below.
Particularly, charge information can comprise following one or a combination set of: data traffic that UE occurs, communication object,Mailing address, communication type, call duration time, communication time etc. The for example user of data traffic that UE occurs passes through UESurf the Internet download data traffic, RCPE can according to data traffic information to UE occur communication carry out charging,Charging granularity is for example Kbit or Mbit; Phone number, IMSI or the out of Memory of for example communication counterpart of communication object;Mailing address is the concrete network address of Sina, Sohu, Netease etc. such as, and system can realize according to this information abundanterBusiness model, network operator and the Sina website of for example this network architecture cooperate, when UE is by base stations Sina website,RCPE is that corresponding data flow is disregarded expense (being free service); For example voice call of communication type, video calling,Online etc.; Duration, the duration of video calling or the duration of online etc. of such as voice call of communication time, RCPE canCarry out charging with communication UE being occurred according to this information, granularity is for example second/point. These charging ways also can be dividedThe user of corresponding different signing modes, for example, according to the mode of data traffic charging can corresponding to press, flow contractsUser, the mode of carrying out charging adjustment according to reference address can for example, corresponding to the signing user of third party (Sina's useFamily), the mode of carrying out charging according to duration can be corresponding to by signing user of time. Charge information comprises above-mentioned informationCombination, more flexible, for example, after operator obtains charge information, can carry out at specific time period for userSpecific communications type carry out special charge, for example to user, the voice call after every day 22:00 reduces rate etc.Deng.
Especially, before charge information is collected in base station, RCPE sends the charging policy information that this UE is corresponding to base station,Be convenient to base station according to the specific UE charge information of this information search or according to specific mode by the charge information report of UEAccuse to RCPE or other network equipment. For example, the charging policy information that RCPE sends to base station comprises this UE residueData traffic information, the charge information that reports UE to RCPE can be determined according to this data traffic information in base stationFrequency; For example, when the remaining data traffic information of UE is lower than 10Mbit, just reported once every 1 minute, noJust reported once every 1 hour, like this can be in the lower base station of reducing of most applications (user data traffic abundance)The amount of reporting, alleviate the burden of RCPE. Again for example, the charging policy information that RCPE sends to base station comprises instructionInformation, is used to indicate the charge information type that need to collect base station, for example, for common discharge user, only need to searchThe data traffic information that Ji Qi signal post occurs, and for by signing user of time, only need to collect its communicationThe duration information occurring gets final product etc.
Preferably, the charge information that subscriber equipment use communication service is collected according to information transmission path in base station comprises: baseStand and judge whether to collect the charge information of subscriber equipment use communication service according to information transmission path; If communicationThe charge information of subscriber equipment use communication service, for to be connected to core net by base station, is not collected in path by base station,Collected the charge information of subscriber equipment use communication service by core net; And if information transmission path is for passing through baseThe accessing group data net of standing, or information transmission path is the miscellaneous equipment that is connected to base station by base station, and base station is searchedCollection subscriber equipment uses the charge information of communication service.
RCPE carries out charging to the communication service that core net by mobile communications network does not occur. Here further limitDetermine the charging limit of power of RCPE, thereby carried out the functional division of labor for charging, traditional BOSS is to passing through coreCharging is carried out in the communication service that net occurs, and RCPE carries out charging to the communication service by core net not, thus toolHaving stronger compatibility and flexibility, is also that most of function of legacy network devices is continued, and only needing increasesRCPE and the corresponding interface, also carry out separately charging with regard to the function of energy good support such as LIPA and SIPTO.
RCPE only sends routing policy for the communication service that core net by mobile communications network does not occur to base stationInformation and charging policy information, correspondingly, charge information also can only be collected for this class communication service in base station.
In embodiments of the present invention, if subscriber equipment is traditional mobile communication UE, that is to say, this UE only supports to lead toCross core net and carry out communication service, or this UE only with the signing traditional mobile communication business of operator, RCPE is justDo not need to send routing policy information and charging policy information to base station, all flow processs are same as the prior art; And only have rightThe communication service not occurring by mobile communication core net, RCPE just sends routing policy information and charging plan to base stationSlightly information, corresponding, and charge information is also only collected for this class business in base station. By such mode, will not pass through coreThe communication service that heart net carries out is considered as particular service, can not affect traditional mobile communication UE, and for example, biography is received in base stationAfter the information of UE of system, just directly send to S-GW, and how do not need to judge route, thereby ensure that tradition movesThe time delay of moving communication UE. In addition, the behavior of this Event triggered (Event-triggered) also reduced RCPE withCommunication between base station and processing complexity.
Preferably, collect after subscriber equipment uses the charge information of communication service the locating of the embodiment of the present invention in base stationReason method also comprises: base station is sent to routing and charging strategy equipment by the first logic interfacing by charge information; OrCharge information is sent to gateway S-GW by base station.
Particularly, after the charging policy information search charge information that base station RCPE sends, then charge information is sentAdd up charging to routing and charging strategy equipment. Or the charging policy information that base station sends according to RCPE is searchedCollection charge information, then sends to S-GW by charge information, by S-GW, the charge information of collecting is processed orForward, for example, be transmitted to BOSS and realize charging.
Alternatively, after base station is sent to charge information routing and charging strategy equipment by the first logic interfacing,Processing method also comprises: the charge information receiving is sent to charging gateway CG by routing and charging strategy equipment; OrPerson, the charge information receiving 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 receiving to subscriber equipment.
Particularly, RCPE, after base station obtains charge information, then sends to CG; Or RCPE obtains from base stationAfter charge information, then send to BOSS; Or RCPE, after base station obtains charge information, believes according to chargingBreath carries out charging; Or the charging policy information search charge information that base station sends according to RCPE, then by charge informationSend to S-GW.
Here enumerated several preferred versions, can collect charge information and be transmitted to CG or BOSS by RCPE,The operation of RCPE is comparatively simple like this, but need to define the interface between RCPE and CG or BOSS; OrRCPE directly carries out charging according to charge information, can maintain existing system so constant as far as possible, does not need to define RCPEAnd the interface between CG or BOSS; Or RCPE does not collect charge information, but base station sends charge informationGive S-GW, more finally send to BOSS to realize charging charge information by existing flow process, can be at utmostSimplify the operation of RCPE.
Further, routing and charging strategy equipment is connected to charging gateway by the second logic interfacing, passes through in base stationAfter charge information is sent to routing and charging strategy equipment by the first logic interfacing, the processing method of communication service informationAlso comprise: routing and charging strategy equipment is sent to charging gateway CG by charge information by the second logic interfacing; OrPerson, routing and charging strategy equipment is connected to business operation support system BOSS by the 3rd logic interfacing, in base stationAfter charge information being sent to routing and charging strategy equipment by the first logic interfacing, processing method also comprises: roadBy with charging policy equipment, charge information being sent to business operation support system BOSS by the 3rd logic interfacing.
Particularly, RCPE is connected by the second logic interfacing with CG, and base station sends to the charge information of collectionRCPE, RCPE sends to CG by the second logic interfacing again.
RCPE is directly connected to CG as shown in Figure 5, and wherein RCPE is connected by IRC interface with CG,And send charge information to CG. CG is still connected by traditional Bp interface with BOSS, final charging letterBreath is aggregated into BOSS, by BOSS unified management.
By such mode, in BOSS, not only can record logical that UE is undertaken by traditional mobile communications networkThe expense that communication service is relevant, can also record the communication service phase that UE carries out by alternate manner, without core netThe expense of closing, thus operator can carry out unified charging to the latter.
Alternatively, RCPE is connected by the 3rd logic interfacing with BOSS, and base station sends to the charge information of collectionRCPE, 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 is IRB interface, can realize equallyAbove-mentioned benefit. With respect to the mode of Fig. 5, RCPE is directly connected with BOSS here, thereby has saved wherein CGProcessing, reduced time delay; Preferably, RCPE also can have the function of charging gateway, for example, can convergeFrom the charge information of base station, the more unified BOSS that sends to; Be different from the place of CG in figure and be, RCPE processesIt is 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 pipeReason entity, charging gateway, business operation support system. Particularly, RCPE can be a part of S-GW, orA part of MME, or a part of CG, or a part of BOSS.
Because base station in the prior art is connected with S-GW and MME subsistence logic, therefore, RCPE canBe embedded in S-GW or MME as a part wherein, in Fig. 1, the function of S1-U or S1-MME interface alsoCorresponding enhancing, can maintain the network architecture constant like this.
It is the network architecture diagram of a part of CG that Fig. 7 has provided RCPE, and wherein difference from prior art is,Between CG and base station, increased IRE interface, and CG also increases RCPE device. RCPE be S-GW orThe embodiment of a part of MME is more simple, does not introduce new interface, and has just strengthened S1-U or S1-MMEInterface, or RCPE is exactly a device of BOSS, and principle, to similar above, repeats no more.
Especially, BOSS carries out mark to the charge information obtaining from RCPE.
In practice, can select flexibly the common hope of user of multiple routing plan can understand oneself respectively by eachThe detailed expense of the communication service that kind routing plan carries out, therefore the embodiment of the present invention is to the charging letter obtaining from RCPEBreath carries out mark, thereby realizes this function. For example, in BOSS, can record certain user and have the number of 50MbyteBeing to occur by traditional core net according to flow, is to be connected to PDN by base station and there is the data traffic of 200MbyteDirectly occur.
Preferably, the in the situation that of charge information being reported to routing and charging strategy equipment in base station, base station occur withWhen lower any one situation, report the charge information after communication to routing and charging strategy equipment: subscriber equipment is from connectingPattern is switched to idle pulley; Base station receives the instruction that reports of routing and charging strategy equipment; Paging user equipment losesLose; Base station and subscriber equipment step-out; Base station and communications of user equipment interrupt; Base station receives routing and charging strategy and establishesThe new charging policy information that preparation is sent; The communication surplus deficiency of subscriber equipment; Subscriber equipment is switched to other base stations.
Particularly, base station can report charge information in the time there is one of following event: UE enters from connection modeIdle pulley or base station receive RCPE report instruction or UE be switched to other base station or with UE step-out,Paging failure to UE or with the communication disruption of UE or the surplus deficiency of communicating by letter of UE. Wherein, at LTEIn system, define idle pulley and connection mode, after UE has accessed certain base station, may enter idle pulleyOr connection mode (Connectedmode) (Idlemode), in general, base station need to UE interactive service numberAccording to UE configuration being entered to connection mode, when UE is not in holding state, enter with base station interactive service dataEnter idle pulley, now can the required resource of release connection pattern, for example peculiar control channel of this UE etc.; CauseThis, when UE enters idle pulley from connection mode, can represent the sign off that UE is current, and now also can in base stationReport charge information to RCPE. Or RCPE sends and reports instruction also can trigger reporting of base station to base station, for exampleWhen the communication that user inquires about oneself is in detail single, can trigger RCPE and send this instruction to base station. Other situation repeats no more.By the mode of such Event triggered, alleviate equally the burden of RCPE.
Preferably, routing and charging strategy equipment is connected to home subscriber server HSS by the 4th logic interfacing,Before base station receives the policy information of routing and charging strategy equipment transmission, processing method also comprises: home subscriber serviceDevice HSS sends user equipment information by the 4th logic interfacing to routing and charging strategy equipment; And routing and chargingStrategy equipment is determined policy information according to user equipment information.
RCPE is connected to HSS by the 4th logic interfacing, and HSS sends UE information, RCPE basis to RCPEUE information is determined the routing and charging policy information of this UE. Alternatively, RCPE is connected to by the 4th logic interfacingUser information center, this user information center can be the user information center on Cloud Server as shown in Figure 4.
In the present invention, RCPE can for example, determine route and meter according to the information of certain UE (CAMEL-Subscription-Information of communicating by letter)Take policy information, for example, for the contracted user of traditional mobile communication carrier, routing and charging policy information is usedIn instruction base station, this user's business information is routed to core net, and indicates base station not collect charge information (by coreNet is collected); And for Home eNodeB cover contracted user, routing and charging policy information be used to indicate base station shouldUser's business information is routed to the PDN that base station connects, and indicates base station to collect charge information, etc. Move in traditionIn moving communication system, the information of UE is managed by HSS conventionally, and other system comprises that user information center is for pipeThe information of reason UE.
Preferably, receive the policy information of routing and charging strategy equipment transmission in base station before, processing method also comprises:Base station receives the request of access that subscriber equipment sends, and request of access carries address information to be visited, and request of access is usedProvide the radio communication service for address to be visited in request base station to subscriber equipment, base station is by routing policy informationThe information transmission path of determining the communication service of user equipment requests comprises: base station is according to routing policy information and to be visitedAddress information determine the information transmission path of the communication service of user equipment requests.
By above described in embodiment, the routing plan of the embodiment of the present invention comprises: (1) business information is connected to movesThe core net of moving communication network, (2) business information is connected to the PDN being connected with base station, and (3) business information is connectedReceive the miscellaneous equipment in same local network with UE.
Wherein, (1) is the scheme of existing mobile communications network, and (2) are equivalent to SIPTO technology of the prior art,The two is at by the agency of above, and (3) similar LIPA technology of the prior art, for such as passing through local officeTerritory net is accessed the scene of local miscellaneous equipment, and this scheme can alleviate the burden of core net equally, and for example, mobile phone is logicalCross Home eNodeB access home printer, etc. These a few class routing plans can be distinguished corresponding different contracted users,For example: the contracted user of (1) corresponding traditional mobile communication carrier, the contracted user that (2) corresponding Home eNodeB covers,(3) corresponding all users, comprise not yet signing user, etc.
Alternatively, the routing policy information that base station not only sends according to RCPE is determined the route of information, also according to communicationThe feature of content determine with the address information of access, and wherein, the request of access that subscriber equipment sends is carried and needed to be visitedThe address information of asking, this request of access is for asking base station to provide the channel radio for address to be visited to subscriber equipmentTelecommunications services. For example, in the time that UE sends service request to base station, can carry the IP address of access; Base station can extractAccessed IP address, if find that this IP address is local IP, is judged as this UE and carries out according to situation (3)Route. (other step does not limit, and for example base station also needs according to the ability of self and the desired access way of UEDeng comprehensive judgement etc.).
The APN difference that different routing plans is corresponding, routing policy information can comprise APN. In existing movementIn communication network, people distinguish different networks with different APN conventionally, for example CMWAP and CMNETBe exactly two different APN, user can configure different APN for mobile phone, thereby accesses different networks. At thisIn invention, above-described three kinds of routing plans also can be regarded as different networks, can arrange respectively not for themSame APN; The routing policy information that RCPE sends to base station comprises the information of APN, for example routing plan (2)Corresponding APN, after receive base station, according to just judgement employing routing plan (2) of APN.
In the present invention, routing policy information specifically can show as the numbering of routing plan (for example 1~3 scheme is passableRepresent by 2 bits), can be also that routing plan for example, by the instruction of enable or disable (every kind of schemeCan represent by 1 bit, 1 represents enable, and 0 represents disable, altogether needs 3 bits), etc.,The corresponding implication of these numberings or bit can be arranged by standard criterion in RCPE and base station, 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, and billing information request is used for asking charging policy information,Wherein, after routing and charging strategy equipment receives billing information request, send charging policy information to base station.
Base station sends billing information request to RCPE, and then RCPE sends charging policy information again to base station. Like thisBy the mode of base station requests charging policy information, can reduce the frequency of RCPE transmission charging policy information, also reduceThe processing of RCPE. Especially, for example, billing information request is that charging starts announcement information, and base station is to RCPESend message, started to collect charge information to RCPE informing base station, then RCPE sends charging plan to base stationSlightly information, base station is determined and is continued the information of collecting and the information reporting etc. according to charging policy information again.
Preferably, after base station receives the policy information of routing and charging strategy equipment transmission, processing method also comprises:Storage charging policy information, wherein, in the time there is following situation arbitrarily, deletes the charging policy information of storing: userEquipment paging failure; Base station and subscriber equipment step-out; Base station and communications of user equipment interrupt; Base station receive route andThe new charging policy information that charging policy equipment sends; The communication surplus deficiency of subscriber equipment; Subscriber equipment is switched toOther base stations.
Particularly, i.e. storage after charging policy information is received in base station, deletes first this charging when what following event occurredPolicy Info: UE be switched to other base station or with UE step-out (unsynchronize) or the paging failure to UE,Or with the communication disruption of UE or receive that new charging policy information that RCPE sends or UE's communicates by letter surplus notFoot. Like this, can trigger RCPE transmission primary charging policy information when UE enters base station coverage area, base station canStore, in the time that UE repeatedly communication behavior occurs in the overlay area of this base station, just can use at any time, and notNeed to repeat the application to RCPE, this mode also can reduce the processing of RCPE; In the time there is above-mentioned anomaly,The charging policy information of storing is deleted in base station. Represent with UE step-out that base station and UE lose and synchronize, in synchronous communicationIn system, need to make the both sides' of radio communication clock adjust to same frequency, if lost synchronously, communication just cannotCarry out, one of possible cause of step-out is exactly that UE occurs extremely (for example not have electricity, conductively-closed, be switched to other regionDeng), can interrupt with communicating by letter of base station, therefore do not need to store again charging policy information, follow-up UE sets up with base station againIn connection procedure, ask this information to RCPE again. When the paging of UE is represented to network need to be initiated with the communicating by letter of UEOperation, if paging failure is likely that UE occurs abnormal. The communication surplus deficiency of UE, for example, base station firstThe residual flow information of obtaining UE from RCPE is 10Mbit, provides for UE in base station in the process of communication service,If find, residual flow only remains 1Mbit, reports charge information to RCPE, like this by the mode of Event triggeredReport charge information, can reduce equally the frequency reporting. Remaining cost deficiency mentioned in this article can be residueFlow is zero, or lower than a certain thresholding; Can be for the integrated communication situation of this UE, also can be for this UE'sPartial service (for example 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 inspectionThe communication surplus under radio communication service of measuring subscriber equipment is less than predetermined threshold value, and base station sends to subscriber equipmentThe information of communication surplus, and stop providing radio communication service to subscriber equipment; And base station is to routing and charging strategyEquipment reports the charge information that stops the communication service occurring before radio communication service.
Charging statistics, after getting the charge information of subscriber equipment, is carried out to subscriber equipment in base station, detects user and establishesStandby communication surplus under the current radio communication service providing, for example, the remaining sum of call, the residual stream of flow set mealAmount, the residue note quantity of note set meal etc. Judge whether this communication surplus is less than predetermined threshold value, and this predetermined threshold value canTo arrange as required, for example 0, different communication services can arrange different threshold values. For example, online streamThe predetermined threshold value of amount can be set to 0, detects whether the surplus of surfing flow is less than 0, and if so, base station is to useFamily equipment sends the information that this communication surplus is 0, and stops offering wireless internet services to subscriber equipment. And, baseStand the charge information of communication service occurring before communication service is cut off is reported to routing and charging strategy equipment or itsHis network equipment.
Particularly, if residue communication is found in base station, surplus is used up, and sends communication balance information to UE, automaticallyClose communicating by letter 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 charging policy information, wherein can comprise the residue communication surplus that UE is corresponding,For this UE provides in the process of communication service, can independently initiate above-mentioned behavior in base station, and do not need core net orCloud Server instruction is carried out again, alleviates so equally the latter's burden; Due to routing and charging strategy equipment or otherThe network equipment sends to base station by remaining cost information corresponding this UE in advance, and therefore this scheme can ensure base equallyStand and send the accuracy of information to UE. Equally, the communication surplus here can be for the integrated communication situation of this UE,Also can be for partial service of this UE etc.
Routing and charging strategy equipment or other network equipments can send to base station access indication information, instruction base stationFor UE provides communication service, for example user of this situation supplements with money after being apprised of remaining cost deficiency; Once cloudServer detects that user supplements with money, indicates base station to provide communication service for UE.
RCPE can send to base station access indication information, and instruction base station provides communication service, this situation example for UEAs being apprised of remaining cost deficiency, user supplements with money afterwards; Once RCPE detects user and supplements with money, indicates base stationFor UE provides communication service.
In embodiments of the present invention, charging policy information specifically can show as numbering (for example 1~3 side of billing schemeCase can represent by 2 bits), can be also that billing scheme is (for example every by the instruction of enable or disableThe scheme of kind can represent by 1 bit, 1 expression enable, 0 represents disable, altogether needs 3 bits),Etc., the corresponding implication of these numberings or bit can be arranged by standard criterion in RCPE and base station, and the present invention does not doRestriction.
Preferably, policy information comprises: charging correction indication information, and collect subscriber equipment in base station and use communication serviceCharge information after, processing method also comprises: base station according to charging correction indication information to collect charge information enterRow is revised; And revised charge information is sent to the network equipment for carrying out charging statistics by base station. This is used forThe network equipment that carries out charging statistics can be routing and charging strategy equipment, can be also other nets with this functionNetwork equipment.
RCPE is to charging correction indication information, and base station is according to this charging correction indication information, to collected charging letterBreath is revised, and sends to RCPE or other network equipment for charging revised result. Wherein, routeComprise charging correction indication information with charging policy information, or charging correction indication information is routing and charging strategy letterOut of Memory outside breath.
In the embodiment of the present invention, the charge information reporting can be revised according to charging correction indication information in base station, convenient realThe innovation of existing business model. For example operator can cooperate with Sina, user is accessed to the business information of Sina website and takesHalf price charging is preferential, and RCPE sends charging correction indication information to base station, and is collecting after charge information instruction base station,User is accessed to the data on flows that Sina website occurs and be modified to half, and other data on flows is not revised, just convenientRealized this class business model.
Further, charge information correction indication information comprise following one of at least: communication object, mailing address, logicalLetter type, call duration time, modifying factor. Out of Memory is described above, and newly-increased modifying factor is hereThe amplitude of base station to collected charge information correction, for example, in the described example of the preceding paragraph, modifying factor is 0.5.By this invention, base station just can be revised for charge information corresponding to specific communication, thereby realizes flexiblyCommercial value. For example base station can be to user by the app of Sohu, the data on flows of accessing sohu.com after 22:00Be modified to half. In addition, this invention can also reduce the processing for the network equipment of charging, if for example RCPE isCommunication system charging, has been used the embodiment of the present invention, and base station is revised charge information, RCPEJust do not need to revise again.

In the present invention, RCPE can for example, determine route and meter according to the information of certain UE (CAMEL-Subscription-Information of communicating by letter)Take policy information, for example, for the contracted user of traditional mobile communication carrier, routing and charging policy information is usedIn instruction base station, this user's business information is routed to core net, and indicates base station not collect charge information (by coreNet is collected); And for Home eNodeB cover contracted user, routing and charging policy information be used to indicate base station shouldUser's business information is routed to the PDN that base station connects, and indicates base station to collect charge information, etc. Move in traditionIn moving communication system, the information of UE is managed by HSS conventionally, and other system comprises that user information center is for pipeThe information of reason UE.
Preferably, treating apparatus also comprises: the second receiving element, and for receive routing and charging strategy equipment in base stationBefore the policy information sending, make base station receive the request of access that subscriber equipment sends, request of access is carried and is needed to be visitedThe address information of asking, request of access is for asking base station to provide the radio communication for address to be visited to subscriber equipmentService, the first determining unit comprises: determination module, for making base station according to routing policy information and ground to be visitedLocation information is determined the information transmission path of the communication service of user equipment requests.
By above described in embodiment, the routing plan of the embodiment of the present invention comprises: (1) business information is connected to movesThe core net of moving communication network, (2) business information is connected to the PDN being connected with base station, and (3) business information is connectedReceive the miscellaneous equipment in same local network with UE.
Wherein, (1) is the scheme of existing mobile communications network, and (2) are equivalent to SIPTO technology of the prior art,The two is at by the agency of above, and (3) similar LIPA technology of the prior art, for such as passing through local officeTerritory net is accessed the scene of local miscellaneous equipment, and this scheme can alleviate the burden of core net equally, and for example, mobile phone is logicalCross Home eNodeB access home printer, etc. These a few class routing plans can be distinguished corresponding different contracted users,For example: the contracted user of (1) corresponding traditional mobile communication carrier, the contracted user that (2) corresponding Home eNodeB covers,(3) corresponding all users, comprise not yet signing user, etc.
Alternatively, the routing policy information that base station not only sends according to RCPE is determined the route of information, also according to communicationThe feature of content determine with the address information of access, and wherein, the request of access that subscriber equipment sends is carried and needed to be visitedThe address information of asking, this request of access is for asking base station to provide the channel radio for address to be visited to subscriber equipmentTelecommunications services. For example, in the time that UE sends service request to base station, can carry the IP address of access; Base station can extractAccessed IP address, if find that this IP address is local IP, is judged as this UE and carries out according to situation (3)Route. (other step does not limit, and for example base station also needs according to the ability of self and the desired access way of UEDeng comprehensive judgement etc.).
The APN difference that different routing plans is corresponding, routing policy information can comprise APN. In existing movementIn communication network, people distinguish different networks with different APN conventionally, for example CMWAP and CMNETBe exactly two different APN, user can configure different APN for mobile phone, thereby accesses different networks. At thisIn invention, above-described three kinds of routing plans also can be regarded as different networks, can arrange respectively not for themSame APN; The routing policy information that RCPE sends to base station comprises the information of APN, for example routing plan (2)Corresponding APN, after receive base station, according to just judgement employing routing plan (2) of APN.
In the present invention, routing policy information specifically can show as the numbering of routing plan (for example 1~3 scheme is passableRepresent by 2 bits), can be also that routing plan for example, by the instruction of enable or disable (every kind of schemeCan represent by 1 bit, 1 represents enable, and 0 represents disable, altogether needs 3 bits), etc.,The corresponding implication of these numberings or bit can be arranged by standard criterion in RCPE and base station, and the present invention does not limit.
Preferably, treating apparatus also comprises: the tenth transmitting element, and for receive routing and charging strategy equipment in base stationBefore the policy information sending, make base station send billing information request, accounting request to routing and charging strategy equipmentInformation is used for asking charging policy information, wherein, and after routing and charging strategy equipment receives billing information request,Send charging policy information to base station.
Base station sends billing information request to RCPE, and then RCPE sends charging policy information again to base station. Like thisBy the mode of base station requests charging policy information, can reduce the frequency of RCPE transmission charging policy information, also reduceThe processing of RCPE. Especially, for example, billing information request is that charging starts announcement information, and base station is to RCPESend message, started to collect charge information to RCPE informing base station, then RCPE sends charging plan to base stationSlightly information, base station is determined and is continued the information of collecting and the information reporting etc. according to charging policy information again.
Preferably, treating apparatus also comprises: memory cell, sends for receive routing and charging strategy equipment in base stationPolicy information after, storage charging policy information, wherein, in the time there is following situation arbitrarily, deletes the meter of storingTake the failure of Policy Info: paging user equipment; Base station and subscriber equipment step-out; Base station and communications of user equipment interrupt;Base station receives the new charging policy information that routing and charging strategy equipment sends; The communication surplus deficiency of subscriber equipment;Subscriber equipment is switched to other base stations.
Particularly, i.e. storage after charging policy information is received in base station, deletes first this charging when what following event occurredPolicy Info: UE be switched to other base station or with UE step-out (unsynchronize) or the paging failure to UE,Or with the communication disruption of UE or receive that new charging policy information that RCPE sends or UE's communicates by letter surplus notFoot. Like this, can trigger RCPE transmission primary charging policy information when UE enters base station coverage area, base station canStore, in the time that UE repeatedly communication behavior occurs in the overlay area of this base station, just can use at any time, and notNeed to repeat the application to RCPE, this mode also can reduce the processing of RCPE; In the time there is above-mentioned anomaly,The charging policy information of storing is deleted in base station. Represent with UE step-out that base station and UE lose and synchronize, in synchronous communicationIn system, need to make the both sides' of radio communication clock adjust to same frequency, if lost synchronously, communication just cannotCarry out, one of possible cause of step-out is exactly that UE occurs extremely (for example not have electricity, conductively-closed, be switched to other regionDeng), can interrupt with communicating by letter of base station, therefore do not need to store again charging policy information, follow-up UE sets up with base station againIn connection procedure, ask this information to RCPE again. When the paging of UE is represented to network need to be initiated with the communicating by letter of UEOperation, if paging failure is likely that UE occurs abnormal. The communication surplus deficiency of UE, for example, base station firstThe residual flow information of obtaining UE from RCPE is 10Mbit, provides for UE in base station in the process of communication service,If find, residual flow only remains 1Mbit, reports charge information to RCPE, like this by the mode of Event triggeredReport charge information, can reduce equally the frequency reporting. Remaining cost deficiency mentioned in this article can be residueFlow is zero, or lower than a certain thresholding; Can be for the integrated communication situation of this UE, also can be for this UE'sPartial service (for example video communication) etc.
Preferably, treating apparatus also comprises: detecting unit, uses communication service for collect subscriber equipment in base stationAfter charge information, make the communication surplus under current radio communication service of base station detection subscriber equipment whether littleIn predetermined threshold value; The 7th transmitting element, for working as the communication surplus under radio communication service that detects subscriber equipmentBe less than predetermined threshold value, make base station send the information of communication surplus to subscriber equipment, and stop providing nothing to subscriber equipmentLine communication service; And report unit, for making base station report and stop radio communication to routing and charging strategy equipmentThe charge information of the communication service occurring before service.
Charging statistics, after getting the charge information of subscriber equipment, is carried out to subscriber equipment in base station, detects user and establishesStandby communication surplus under the current radio communication service providing, for example, the remaining sum of call, the residual stream of flow set mealAmount, the residue note quantity of note set meal etc. Judge whether this communication surplus is less than predetermined threshold value, and this predetermined threshold value canTo arrange as required, for example 0, different communication services can arrange different threshold values. For example, online streamThe predetermined threshold value of amount can be set to 0, detects whether the surplus of surfing flow is less than 0, and if so, base station is to useFamily equipment sends the information that this communication surplus is 0, and stops offering wireless internet services to subscriber equipment. And, baseStand the charge information of communication service occurring before communication service is cut off is reported to routing and charging strategy equipment or itsHis network equipment.
Particularly, if residue communication is found in base station, surplus is used up, and sends communication balance information to UE, automaticallyClose communicating by letter 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 charging policy information, wherein can comprise the residue communication surplus that UE is corresponding,For this UE provides in the process of communication service, can independently initiate above-mentioned behavior in base station, and do not need core net orCloud Server instruction is carried out again, alleviates so equally the latter's burden; Due to routing and charging strategy equipment or otherThe network equipment sends to base station by remaining cost information corresponding this UE in advance, and therefore this scheme can ensure base equallyStand and send the accuracy of information to UE. Equally, the communication surplus here can be for the integrated communication situation of this UE,Also can be for partial service of this UE etc.
Routing and charging strategy equipment or other network equipments can send to base station access indication information, instruction base stationFor UE provides communication service, for example user of this situation supplements with money after being apprised of remaining cost deficiency; Once cloudServer detects that user supplements with money, indicates base station to provide communication service for UE.
RCPE can send to base station access indication information, and instruction base station provides communication service, this situation example for UEAs being apprised of remaining cost deficiency, user supplements with money afterwards; Once RCPE detects user and supplements with money, indicates base stationFor UE provides communication service.
In embodiments of the present invention, charging policy information specifically can show as numbering (for example 1~3 side of billing schemeCase can represent by 2 bits), can be also that billing scheme is (for example every by the instruction of enable or disableThe scheme of kind can represent by 1 bit, 1 expression enable, 0 represents disable, altogether needs 3 bits),Etc., the corresponding implication of these numberings or bit can be arranged by standard criterion in RCPE and base station, and the present invention does not doRestriction.
Preferably, policy information comprises: charging correction indication information, and treating apparatus also comprises: amending unit, forAfter the charge information of subscriber equipment use communication service is collected in base station, make base station according to charging correction indication informationThe charge information of collecting is revised; And the 8th transmitting element, for making base station by revised charge informationBe sent to the network equipment for carrying out charging statistics. This network equipment that is used for carrying out charging statistics can be route andCharging policy equipment can be also other network equipments with this function.
RCPE is to charging correction indication information, and base station is according to this charging correction indication information, to collected charging letterBreath is revised, and sends to RCPE or other network equipment for charging revised result. Wherein, routeComprise charging correction indication information with charging policy information, or charging correction indication information is routing and charging strategy letterOut of Memory outside breath.
