Description
Technical field
The present invention relates to communication technical field, particularly relate to a kind of method of service control bandwidth, system and equipment.
Background technology
Present stage, for the needs of user, have developed increasing data service, and different data services needs the bandwidth of distribution also different, in order to can according to data service reasonable distribution bandwidth, prior art uses model as shown in Figure 1 to come the decision-making of finishing service bandwidth and the billing function based on data flow.When user's usage data business, PCEF(Policy and Charging Enforcement Function, strategy and charge execution function) equipment can by Gx interface to PCRF(Policy and Charging Rule Function, strategy and charging rule functions) equipment bandwidth application, PCRF equipment has been arranged Counter-ID(reference count with OCS in advance and has been identified) and Counter-Level(reference count rank), PCRF equipment utilizes Counter-ID from OCS(Online Charging System by Sy interface, Online Charging System) obtain corresponding Counter-Level, wherein, Counter-ID represents the user profile reference factor of bandwidth decision-making, such as: flow accumulation amount or account balance etc., Counter-Level represents the value of user profile reference factor.The Counter-Level found is passed to PCRF equipment by Sy interface by OCS, PCRF equipment decides to authorize bandwidth according to information corresponding to Counter-ID, Counter-Level and the bandwidth decision strategy that has been configured, and be handed down to PCEF equipment by Gx interface, performed by PCEF equipment and issue mandate bandwidth.
But, in the prior art, PCRF needs the value being obtained reference factor and reference factor by Counter-ID and Counter-Level from OCS, and Counter-ID and Counter-Level is often numerical value or simple character string, be merely able to express simple independently monitor control index, as: integrated flux, free resource, user balance etc.Other messages transmit the reference factor of OCS side and the value of reference factor is also merely able to express simple monitor control index.Counter-ID and Counter-Level cannot carry and transmit reference factor comparatively complicated in OCS, make bandwidth decision strategy more dull, be beyond expression complicated business information, complicated business as such in similar " user had wholesale to supplement with money in nearest 3 days; can use 4M bandwidth; fall back original bandwidth after exceeding the time limit ", thus cause PCRF that Counter-ID and Counter-Level can only be utilized to express simple business information, what reduce bandwidth decision strategy enriches degree.

Wherein, after PCRF equipment receives the QoS information of OCS transmission, according to the service identification corresponding relation of charging rule and user, charging rule corresponding with the service identification of user for QoS information corresponding for the service identification of user is bound, and send CCA(Credit Control Acknowledge by Gx to PCEF) message, CCA message comprises charging rule corresponding to the service identification of QoS information corresponding to the service identification of user and user.After PCEF receives CCA message, send CCR message by Gy to OCS, application traffic carrying capacity mandate and charge future.
The method of a kind of service control bandwidth that the embodiment of the present invention provides, PCRF equipment can be made to send the service identification of user to OCS, OCS, according to the service identification of user and the bandwidth decision strategy be configured in OCS, obtains corresponding QoS information, and PCRF equipment receives the QoS information that OCS sends.Compared with the prior art that the bandwidth decision strategy be configured in PCRF equipment performs bandwidth decision-making by Counter-ID, Counter-Level with by PCRF equipment, this programme eliminates OCS transmits process from Counter-ID and Counter-Level to PCRF equipment, avoid Counter-ID and Counter-Level of the prior art and can only express simple independently reference factor, cannot carry, transmit comparatively complicated reference factor, thus the problem of user profile and the charging process data enriched OCS side cannot be made full use of.This programme performs the process of bandwidth decision-making by OCS, directly utilize user profile abundant in OCS and charging process data as the bandwidth decision strategy factor by OCS, form the bandwidth decision strategy be configured in OCS, make the bandwidth decision strategy in OCS abundanter, more complicated business information can be expressed, and according to the bandwidth decision strategy be configured in OCS, determine QoS information, what improve bandwidth decision strategy enriches degree
Optionally, on the basis of the scheme shown in Figure 10, the embodiment of the present invention additionally provides a kind of concrete scheme of method of service control bandwidth, to the further refinement of the implementation of 602 in the scheme shown in Figure 10,602 can be implemented as 6021, as shown in figure 11, comprising:
6021, receive the Service-Qos-Definition information that described OCS sends, and from QoS information described in described Service-Qos-Definition acquisition of information.
Wherein, Service-Qos-Definition information is generated by OCS, and Service-Qos-Definition information at least comprises QoS information, and the parameter that Service-Qos-Definition information comprises is as shown in the table two in 5021.QoS information at least comprises: service identification and mandate bandwidth, bandwidth is authorized to be determined by the bandwidth decision strategy of service identification and OCS, that is, OCS can determine the size of the bandwidth specifically needing to license to user according to the bandwidth decision strategy of the service identification of user and configuration.
Wherein, PCRF equipment can receive the SLA message that OCS sends, and SLA message comprises QoS information.
Wherein, when user bandwidth changes, PCRF equipment also can receive OCS and detect that bandwidth changes, and the SNR message initiatively sent, SNR message comprises QoS information.
Wherein, PCRF equipment is identical with the information interactive process between PCEF and 602 after receiving the QoS information of OCS transmission, does not repeat them here.
The method of a kind of service control bandwidth that the embodiment of the present invention provides, PCRF equipment can be made to send the service identification of user to OCS, OCS is according to the service identification of user and the bandwidth decision strategy be configured in OCS, obtain corresponding QoS information, PCRF equipment receives the Service-Qos-Definition information that OCS sends, and Service-Qos-Definition information comprises QoS information.Compared with the prior art that the bandwidth decision strategy be configured in PCRF equipment performs bandwidth decision-making by Counter-ID, Counter-Level with by PCRF equipment, this programme eliminates OCS transmits process from Counter-ID and Counter-Level to PCRF equipment, avoid Counter-ID and Counter-Level of the prior art and can only express simple independently reference factor, cannot carry, transmit comparatively complicated reference factor, thus the problem of user profile and the charging process data enriched OCS side cannot be made full use of.This programme performs the process of bandwidth decision-making by OCS, directly utilize user profile abundant in OCS and charging process data as the bandwidth decision strategy factor by OCS, form the bandwidth decision strategy be configured in OCS, make the bandwidth decision strategy in OCS abundanter, more complicated business information can be expressed, and according to the bandwidth decision strategy be configured in OCS, determine QoS information, what improve bandwidth decision strategy enriches degree.
