Description

An industry gateway system

technical field

The invention relates to mobile Internet technology, especially to an industry gateway system.

Background technique

With the rapid popularization of mobile Internet technology in all walks of life, various value-added services centering on industry users and group users as application scenarios have also developed rapidly. In the prior art, for an operator, there are mainly a set of industry gateways in the headquarters and every province, and each set of industry gateways needs to be connected with other industry gateways and network elements one by one.

Figure 1 is a schematic diagram of the network system of the existing industry gateway, as shown in Figure 1, the existing industry gateway of the headquarters needs to be connected with the provincial industry gateway of each province; the provincial industry gateway of each province and other provinces The provincial industry gateways in each province also need to be connected, or need to be routed through the headquarters industry gateway; from the perspective of the complexity of connecting network elements, the provincial industry gateways in each province need to communicate with the provincial business support system (BSS, Business Support System ) and industry customers/industry integrators (EC/SI, Enterprise Customer/Service Integrator) for docking (not shown in province B in Figure 1). The existing industry gateway network system brings complexity in terms of customer management and billing; industry short messages are distinguished from uplink and downlink, and are divided into: user-side receiving (MT, Mobile Terminated) messages and user-side sending (MT, Mobile Terminated) messages MO, Mobile Originate) message. When implementing MT messages and MO messages, there will be different implementation processes due to EC/SI and whether there are industry gateways in inter-provincial network elements. For the specific implementation process, please refer to the relevant agreement, which will not be repeated here.

Although the existing technical solutions can realize the business push between users and EC/SI in the whole country and provinces of the industry gateway. However, in terms of technical implementation, management and maintenance, there are still problems in the following aspects:

From the perspective of the existing network system, on the one hand, the current deployment of industry gateways is that both the headquarters and the provinces retain industry gateways, so according to the minimum estimate, there are 32 sets of industry gateway systems in the country. That is to say, the existing overall industry gateway system is a very large system, which has caused great difficulties in aspects such as operation configuration or single system upgrade due to the large number of network elements involved. At the same time, the operating cost is also relatively high;

On the other hand, business processes are more complex. In the existing technology, industry gateways belong to different provinces, and users and EC/SI also belong to different provinces, so the business process between provinces is bound to be very complicated. According to different users, different industrial gateway situations, and different provincial EC/SI situations, different implementation processes are adopted. This brings troubles to business development and business processes, and also greatly reduces business efficiency.

Also, billing is more complicated. In the prior art, industry gateways belong to different provinces, and EC/SI and users also belong to different provinces. In this way, for cross-provincial industry applications, billing needs to be synchronized and consistent between different provinces. The industry gateway itself does not perform billing, but only generates bills. Billing needs to be billed in BSS systems in different provinces. This results in an overly complicated process in the prior art in terms of bill synchronization and BSS reconciliation between provinces, which also increases the risk of billing errors and reduces user experience.

That is to say, the existing huge system of decentralized and mutually independent industry gateways has brought problems such as complex business implementation process and billing process, low efficiency of business implementation, and problems such as operating costs and maintenance costs. .
