Description
Technical field
The present invention relates to the communications field, particularly relate to a kind of consumption method for supervising, device and system.
Background technology
From third generation partner program stage 7(3GPP Release7) since standards system, strategy and billing function control (PCC, Policy and Charging Control) framework by tactful and charging and realize.PCC framework is a functional framework that can be applied to multiple access technology, such as, PCC framework can be applied to universal mobile telecommunications system (UMTS, Universal Mobile Telecommunications System) terrestrial radio access network (UTRAN, UMTS Terrestrial Radio Access Network), global system for mobile communications (GSM, Global system for Mobile Communication)/GSM data enhancing evolution (EDGE) wireless access network, grouping system (the EPS of intercommunicated wireless local area network (I-WLAN) and evolution, Evolved Packet System) etc.
PCC mainly achieves policy control and the large function of charging two.Fig. 1 is existing PCC structure composed schematic diagram, is described below to each logical functional entity in the PCC framework shown in Fig. 1 and interface function thereof.As shown in Figure 1:
Application Function (AF), for providing the access point of service application, the Internet resources that these service application use need to carry out dynamic policy control.When service surface carries out parameter negotiation, related service information is passed to policy control and charging regulation function entity (PCRF, Policy and Charging Rules Function) by AF.If these business information are consistent with the strategy of PCRF, then PCRF accepts this negotiation; Otherwise PCRF refuses this negotiation, and provide the acceptable service parameter of PCRF when feeding back.Subsequently, these parameters can be returned to subscriber equipment (UE, User Equipment) by AF.Wherein, the interface between AF and PCRF is Rx interface.
PCRF is the core of PCC, for the formulation of responsible strategic decision-making and charging regulation.PCRF provides the network control rule based on business data flow, these network controls comprise the detection of business data flow, gate (Gating Control), service quality (QoS, Quality of Service) control and based on the charging regulation etc. of data flow.The strategy that PCRF is formulated and charging regulation send to strategy and charging execution function entity (PCEF, Policy and Control Enforcement Function) to perform; Meanwhile, PCRF also needs to ensure that these rules are consistent with the CAMEL-Subscription-Information of user.Wherein, PCRF generate strategy with charging regulation according to comprising: the information relevant to business obtained from AF, obtain from user-subscribed database (SPR, Subscription Profile Repository) to the user policy, billing control and subscription information relevant with charging with policy control and obtained from PCEF by Gx interface with the information carrying network of relation.
PCEF is usually located in gateway (GW, Gate-Way), performs the strategy formulated of PCRF and charging regulation at loading end.Business datum flow filter in the rule that PCEF sends according to PCRF detects business data flow, and then performs to these business data flows the strategy and charging regulation that PCRF formulates; When carrying is set up, the rule that PCEF sends according to PCRF carries out QoS mandate, and carries out gate control according to the execution of AF; Meanwhile, PCEF triggers according to the event that PCRF subscribes to and reports event on bearer network; According to the charging regulation that PCRF sends, PCEF performs the operation of corresponding service data flow charge, and charging both can be online charging, also can be offline charging.If online charging, then PCEF needs and Online Charging System (OCS, Online Charging System) carry out credit management together; During offline charging, the charge information of exchange correlation between PCEF and off-line accounting system (OFCS, Offline Charging System).Wherein, the interface between PCEF and PCRF is Gx interface, and the interface between PCEF and OCS is Gy interface, and the interface between PCEF and OFCS is Gz interface.PCEF is generally positioned on the gateway of network, as grouped data network gateway (PDN-GW), the GPRS (GPRS of EPS, General Packet Radio Service) in GGSN (GGSN) and interconnected wireless network local area network (LAN) (I-WLAN, Interworking WLAN) in packet data gateway (PDG, Packet Data Gateway) etc.
Bearing binding and event reporting function entity (BBERF, Bearer Binding and Event Reporting Function) are usually located in Access Network gateway (Access Network Gateway).As adopted proxy mobile internet protocol version 6(PMIPv6, Proxy Mobile Internet Protocol version6 when subscriber equipment is accessed between EPS, gateway S-GW and P-GW by E-UTRAN) agreement time, just there is BBERF in S-GW.When subscriber equipment is by the access of trusted non-3 GPP access network, also there is BBERF in the trusted non-3 GPP access network Central Shanxi Plain.
User-subscribed database (SPR), stores the user policy, billing control and subscription information relevant to policy control and charging.Interface between SPR and PCRF is Sp interface.
OCS and PCEF completes the control and management of user credit under online charging mode jointly.
OFCS and PCEF completes the billing operation under offline charging mode jointly.
In prior art, PCC supports dynamic consumption Monitoring and Controlling, to realize performing dynamic strategic decision-making based on real-time Internet usage total amount.Consumption monitoring can be applicable to all Business Streams of single business data flow, one group of business data flow or an IP-CAN session.At present, consumption (usage) refers to user plane data traffic.In prior art, monitoring key (Monitoring Key) is adopted to identify an example needing consumption to monitor, such as: when the PCRF Monitoring Key that has been all traffic flow assignment of an IP-CAN session and corresponding threshold value, so, PCEF by all Business Stream flows according to this threshold monitor IP-CAN, and identifies with this Monitoring Key the consumption reported.When PCRF is that a Business Stream or one group of business data flow are assigned with Monitoring Key and corresponding threshold value, Monitoring Key is carried in this business data flow or PCC rule corresponding to one group of business data flow by PCRF, so, PCEF by there is according to this threshold monitor identical Monitoring Key PCC rule corresponding to business data flow flow, and identify the consumption reported with this Monitoring Key.
Meanwhile, total safe level of certain PDN of user can also be preserved in SPR, namely for total safe level of all Business Streams of an IP-CAN session, also can be called total safe level of the every user of every PDN.Total safe level of some concrete business of certain PDN of user can also be preserved in SPR, namely for total safe level of a business data flow or one group of business data flow, usually also can identify with Monitoring Key.
After user is established to the IP-CAN session of certain PDN, total safe level is handed down to PCRF by SPR.When PCRF carries out consumption Monitoring and Controlling, PCRF subscribes to consumption to PCEF and reports (Usage_Report) event trigger.After Monitoring Key is included in and issues in PCC rule, the PCC rule with identical Monitoring Key shares threshold value corresponding to this Monitoring Key.When Monitoring Key is not included in any PCC rule, all business data flows of IP-CAN session share threshold value corresponding to this Monitoring Key.PCEF monitors consumption and has reached threshold value, IP-CAN session termination, comprised on all deleted or PCRF explicit request consumption of all PCC rules of certain Monitoring Key and give the correct time, and PCEF will to the consumption Expenditure Levels of PCRF report relevant Monitoring Key since the last time reports.After the PCRF consumption received from PCEF reports, PCRF will deduct the volume value reported from total safe level.If PCEF reports the consumption of certain Monitoring Key and needs to proceed monitoring, so, PCRF will provide new threshold value to PCEF; If without the need to proceeding monitoring, PCRF does not provide new threshold value to PCEF.When last IP-CAN session termination of an APN of user, PCRF will preserve remaining total safe level in SPR, comprise total safe level of total safe level of this PDN or some concrete business of this PDN.
At present, the support of PCC framework is called sponsored data cube computation (Sponsored data connectivity), so-called Sponsored Data Connectivity refers to the consumption consumption that user institute access service produces, be not born by user oneself, but born by business provider, now, when user initiates such Operational Visit, AF is when providing the business information of Sponsored Data Connectivity to PCRF, Sponsored Data Connectivity information is also provided, such as sponsor's mark (Sponsor Identity), identification service provider (Application Service Provider) and application message, and the consumption threshold value of such business of business provider sponsored visit that may provide to PCRF, namely user can the consumption of such business of free access.After PCRF obtains consumption threshold value from AF, PCRF just can call above-mentioned consumption monitoring mechanism execution and monitor the consumption of Sponsored Service.
In addition, consumption monitoring also can be realized by OCS.OCS configures total safe level, and two Policy Counter Status(INQUOTA, OUTQUOTA), the consumption that OCS is reported by Gy interface according to PCEF adds up, and passes through the state variation of Sy interface notification PCRF.Simultaneously PCRF also configuration pin to the carrier policy of two states so that the state reported according to OCS carries out strategic decision-making.
Operator, in order to simplify deployment scheme, needs employing one mechanism to realize monitor the consumption of Sponsored Service, but at present realizes by OCS the scheme that consumption monitors and cannot support to monitor for the consumption of Sponsored Service business.

Embodiment
Operator, in order to simplify deployment scheme, needs employing one mechanism to realize monitor the consumption of Sponsored Service, but at present realizes by OCS the scheme that consumption monitors and cannot support to monitor for the consumption of Sponsored Service business.
In order to solve the problem, The embodiment provides a kind of consumption method for supervising, device and system.Hereinafter will be described in detail to embodiments of the invention by reference to the accompanying drawings.It should be noted that, when not conflicting, the embodiment in the application and the feature in embodiment can combination in any mutually.
It should be noted that, represent ownership place PCRF in embodiments of the invention with (H-) PCRF, for non-roaming scene, is PCRF; For roaming scence, be H-PCRF.
First by reference to the accompanying drawings, embodiments of the invention one are described.
Embodiments provide a kind of consumption method for supervising, Fig. 2 is the flow chart using the method to realize OCS acquisition safe level, and concrete steps are as follows:
IP-CAN session is set up between step 201:UE and network.
The IP-CAN session access sponsored data cube computation business of step 202:UE by setting up.
Step 203:AF initiates AF session establishment flow process, provides sponsored data cube computation business information, comprise Sponsor Id to (H-) PCRF, application provider mark ASP Id and Total Usage threshold.
Step 204:(H-) PCRF returns acknowledge message to AF;
Step 205:(H-) PCRF carries out strategic decision-making.(H-), after PCRF carries out verification succeeds to sponsored data traffic information, PCC rule is formulated.(H-) PCRF determines to adopt the mode of online charging to carry out charging for this business.If a Charging key(of operator's configuration is labeled as CKA here) can combine by unique identification Sponsor Id and ASP Id, so PCRF only needs to comprise CK A in PCC rule; If operator does not configure a Charging key unique identification Sponsor Id and ASP Id and combines, so (H-) PCRF needs to comprise Charging Key(and is labeled as CK B in PCC rule), Sponsor Id and ASP Id.In addition (H-) PCRF determines Policy Counter Id according to Sponsor Id and ASP Id, is designated PCI A.
Step 206: if (H-) PCRF and OCS does not also set up Sy session, initiates initial consumer restriction report request at (H-) PCRF; Otherwise (H-) PCRF consumes restriction report request in the middle of OCS sends.Carry in message in Policy counter list and comprise PCI A and total consumption threshold value Total Usage Threshold;
Step 207:OCS preserves Total Usage Threshold.OCS returns acknowledge message, returns the Status of policy counter Id and correspondence in message.Wherein the state of PCI A is INQUOTA.The Policy counter that in OCS, also pre-configured Sponsor Id and ASP Id is corresponding, i.e. PCI A.If operator configures a Charging key(and CK A) can combine by unique identification Sponsor Id and ASP Id, so PCI A be with CK A one to one.If operator does not configure a Charging key unique identification Sponsor Id and ASP Id and combines, so PCI A be with CK B, Sponsor Id and ASP id one to one.In addition the PCI A of OCS configuration has two states, i.e. (INQUOTA, OUTQUOTA).If OCS has delegatable credit (i.e. assignable Usage Threshold), then state is INQUOTA, otherwise state is OUTQUOTA.
Step 208:(H-) PCRF to PCEF provide formulation PCC rule.
Step 209:PCRF returns acknowledge message.
Step 210:PCEF sends credit control request to OCS, carries Charging Key(CK A in message) or Charging Key(CK B), the combination of Sponsor Id and ASP Id.
Step 211:OCS returns Credit Control Answer, carries as CK A or CK B, Sponsor Id and ASP Id combines the credit (also can be described as quota Quota, to consumption monitoring, can be described as Usage Threshold) of authorizing.OCS deducts the Usage Threshold of distribution from Total Usage Threshold, is updated to the value of Total Usage Threshold-Usage Threshold by Total Usage Threshold.
The consumption used UE adds up by step 212:PCEF, when the credit (i.e. Quota or Usage Threshold) of PCEF request is finished, and the credit that PCEF please be looked for novelty to OCS by credit control request.OCS judges whether Total Usage Threshold is 0, if not 0, then OCS is CKA or CK B, Sponsor Id and ASP Id combines and authorizes new credit (i.e. Usage Threshold), then OCS deducts the Usage Threshold of distribution from Total Usage Threshold, is updated to the value of Total Usage Threshold-Usage Threshold by Total Usage Threshold.OCS, according to credit authorization result, detects Policy Counter PCI A.
Fig. 3 is as shown in Figure 2, after OCS detects Policy Counter state variation, and the flow chart of uploaded state, concrete steps are as follows:
Step 301: if OCS receives CK A or CK B that PCEF carries, after the credit request that Sponsor Id and ASP Id combines, judge to have no credit and can authorize, judge that the consumption that UE uses has reached Total Usage Threshold, OCS judges that the state variation of PCI A is OUTQUATA;
Step 302:OCS initiatively sends consumption restriction report message to (H-) PCRF, carries Policy Counter ID(PCI A), Status is OUTQUATA.Accumulated Usage(can also be carried in message and equal Total Usage Threshold);
Step 303:(H-) PCRF returns acknowledge message to OCS.
Step 304:(H-) PCRF reports Accumulated Usage to AF.
Step 305:AF returns acknowledge message
Step 306:(H-) PCRF may adjustable strategies, and initiate IP-CAN session modification flow process and upgrade the PCC rule that PCEF installs.
When Fig. 4 is IP-CAN session termination, OCS reports the flow chart of accumulative consumption, and concrete steps are as follows:
