In the embodiment of the present invention, it is believed that PCEF is positioned in gateway PGW (PacketDataNetworkGateway, PGW).
Fig. 2 is based on the exemplary signaling diagram of the charging method of one embodiment of the invention.In implementing process, charging method 200 can be performed by such as but not limited to terminal, access device and counting equipment.In the present embodiment, terminal can be such as but not limited to HPC, panel computer, mobile phone, personal digital assistant (PDA), access device can be such as but not limited to PGW or gateway GPRS supporting node (GGSN) (GatewayGeneralPacketRadioServiceSupportNode, GGSN).Counting equipment can be such as but not limited to prepaid server (Pre-PaidServer, PPS).Further, this prepaid server can be specially such as but not limited to OCS.Communicate according to diameter (Diameter) agreement between access device and counting equipment.
For the present invention, step 202 is optional to step 204, step 208, step 210, in the present embodiment to step 202 to step 204, step 208, step 210 illustrates is to better show present disclosure.
Step 202, OCS sends network and shares monitoring message to PGW, and this network shares the monitoring message instruction PGW monitoring state that network is shared.
Concrete, it is Credit Control Answer (CreditControlAnswer, CCA) message that network shares monitoring message.Optionally, by to Gy mouth credit control request (CreditControlRequest, CCR) it is extended with CCA message, it is made to carry network shared state parameter Tethering-Status property value to (AttributeValuePair, AVP), make PGW can notify whether OCS has terminal to initiate or stop network by Tethering-StatusAVP to share, when Tethering-StatusAVP value Start (0), represent that terminal is initiated network and shared, during value Stop (1), represent that terminal stops network and shares.
Step 204, network shared state is monitored by PGW.
Concrete, carried out the shared terminal of network before enabling network sharing functionality, by packet data protocol (PacketDataProtocol, PDP) activation sends logging request to PGW, request accesses network, after carrying out the accessing terminal to network that network is shared, by detecting the manufacturer's information carried out in the access request that the shared terminal of network sends or OS information, PGW judges whether the terminal carrying out network shared enables or stopped network sharing functionality, in the event of at least two manufacturer's information or OS information, then can determine that and enable network sharing functionality, if only one of which manufacturer's information or OS information, then stopped network sharing functionality.When accessing Internet resources by the terminal request of network shared access, the terminal shared by carrying out network by the access request of the terminal of network shared access is sent to PGW, with the manufacturer's information of the terminal by network shared access or OS information in access request, simultaneously also with the manufacturer's information or the OS information that carry out the terminal that network is shared, PGW detects at least two manufacturer's information or OS information, judging that the terminal carrying out network shared opens network sharing functionality, PGW sends the CCR message with Tethering-Status:Start (0) to OCS.In access request being detected when only one of which manufacturer's information or OS information, PGW judges to carry out the terminal that network shares and stopped network and share, and PGW sends with the CCR message of Tethering-Status:Stop (1) to OCS.
Optionally, PGW can pass through transmission control protocol/Internet Protocol (TransmissionControlProtocol/InternetProtocol, TCP/IP) fingerprint characteristic identification, determines whether access request is produced by by the terminal of network shared access.Concrete, time-to-live (the Timetolive in IP head can be passed through, TTL) field, DF (Don ' tFragment) field, the TCPWindowssize field in TCP header, at least one in tcp option field MaximumSegmentSize, Windowscaling are determined, such as, owing to every kind of operating system has the ttl value oneself given tacit consent to, it is possible to determine whether access request is produced by by the terminal of network shared access by the size of ttl value.
Optionally, PGW can detect the User-Agent field in HTTP (Hypertexttransferprotocol, HTTP), determines that content access request is produced by by the terminal of network shared access.May determine that the information such as operating system, browser by User-Agent field, may thereby determine that whether content access request is produced by by the terminal of network shared access.
Step 206, sends content access request to PGW by the terminal of network shared access.
Concrete, the access request of the terminal by network shared access is sent to PGW, PGW detects at least two manufacturer's information or OS information by carrying out the terminal that network shares, it may be determined that this access is to be produced by by the terminal of network shared access.
Step 208, PGW sends and indicates the shared message of existing network network to OCS.
Concrete, the message indicating existing network network shared is CCR message, the Tethering-StatusAVP value Start (0) in CCR message.PGW can also send prompting and carry out the shared note of network to carrying out the terminal that network is shared.
Step 210, OCS transmission is carried network and is shared the message authorizing flow information to PGW.
Concrete, when being surfed the Net by the terminal of network shared access, carry out the shared terminal of network and be likely to the situation being in access Internet resources, OCS except send carry network share specific authorisation flow message to PGW except, also send the message carrying common free mandate flow to PGW, for carrying out the terminal that network is shared.Network shares specific authorisation flow and common free mandate flow can carry in same CCA message, it is also possible to carry respectively by two CCA message, when carrying with same CCA, it is possible to use two independent parameters to carry respectively.Similar, the flow produced by the terminal of network shared access and the flow carrying out the terminal generation that network is shared can carry in a CCR message, can also carry respectively by two CCR message, when carrying with same CCR, it is possible to use two independent parameters to carry respectively.
The shared special flow bag of network is have subscribed carrying out the shared terminal of network, or operator for using network shared verification special setting rate time, CCA carries network and shares specific authorisation flow, can pass through to increase in CCA and share flow mandate mark Tethering-AccessAVP, and value [Tethering-Access]: Yes (1) represents that the mandate flow in CCA is that network shares specific authorisation flow, the terminal for use by network shared access uses；If being not subscribed to network to share special flow bag, operator is also without for using network shared verification special setting rate, CCA does not then carry new network and shares specific authorisation flow, also [Tethering-Access] is not carried: Yes (1), new common free mandate flow can be carried, or it is only used as the response to the CCR message in step 208, special return code can be carried, represent that not issuing new network shares specific authorisation flow, simultaneously, can send the SMS to carry out the terminal that network is shared, remind user can order network and share special flow bag.Now, by the terminal access content of network the shared access flow produced and the flow carrying out the terminal access content generation that network is shared, deduction from the common free flow bag carrying out the terminal order that network is shared, when being not subscribed to common free flow bag, from the fund account carrying out the terminal that network is shared, deduction, namely deducts fees from the account balance of user.
Such as, the network of common free flow bag and 1G that user A have subscribed 500M shares special flow bag, when user A use mobile phone carry out network share time, the panel computer of user B is connected to the hands machine of user A by WIFI, access network, now OCS monitors user A and opens network sharing functionality, issue network by CCA message and share specific authorisation flow 10M, this 10M flow is to share special flow bag from the user A 1G network ordered to reserve and issue, user B uses this 10M flow to surf the Net, after this 10M flow is finished, OCS again can share reserved special flow bag from 1G network and issue mandate flow；The flow that user A online produces is deducted from the common free flow bag of 500M.
When user A only have subscribed the common free flow bag of 500M, OCS monitors user A and opens network sharing functionality, but and be not subscribed to network share special flow bag, therefore not issuing new mandate flow, flow and the flow of user A online generation that user B online produces all are deducted from the common free flow bag of 500M.
Network is shared specific authorisation flow and be can be differently configured from common free mandate flow, for instance it can be 30M that network shares specific authorisation flow, and common free mandate flow can be 10M.PGW so can be avoided to authorize flow to OCS request frequently, alleviate the burden of PGW and OCS.
Step 212, PGW obtains content and determines the flow that content produces.
Optionally, before PGW obtains the content that request accesses, PGW can be asked by test access in manufacturer's information or OS information determine the terminal quantity by network shared access, if exceeding default maximum terminal quantity by the terminal quantity of network shared access, then PGW refusal obtains the content asking to access in this access request；If the terminal quantity crossing network shared access is not above presetting maximum terminal quantity, then PGW obtains in this access request the content asking to access from the server at content place.
Concrete, PGW obtains content according to the address in content access request from the server at content place, and determines the flow that content produces.
Step 214, PGW returns the content of request access to by the terminal of network shared access.
Step 216, PGW sends the accounting request of the flow indicating this content to produce to OCS.
Step 218, the flow that content is produced by OCS is deducted fees.
nullIn step 216 and step 218，Optionally，The shared special flow bag of network is have subscribed when carrying out the shared terminal of network，Or operator for using network shared verification special setting rate time，Also with shared flow identifier in accounting request CCR message，Representation can be identified identical with the shared flow mandate in CCA message in step 210，Use Tethering-Acess:Yes (1)，The flow being used for representing in CCR message is by the flow produced by the terminal of network shared access，Instruction OCS is by by the flow produced by the terminal of the network shared access rate accounting according to shared flow，Namely charge on traffic is shared as network，Deduction special flow bag is shared from network by this flow，Or deduct fees according to the rate using network shared verification of special setting.
The shared special flow bag of network is not ordered when carrying out the shared terminal of network, operator is also without during for using network shared verification special setting rate, CCR message is not carried shared flow identifier, instruction OCS using the flow produced by the terminal of network shared access in this CCR as common discharge charging, by this flow deduction from the common free flow bag carrying out the terminal order that network is shared, if carrying out the terminal that network shares do not order common free flow bag, then OCS by flow based on the fund account charging of user carrying out the terminal that network is shared.
The technical scheme provided according to embodiments of the present invention, carry out network user by terminal to share, when other user terminals are by network shared access network, access device can report the flow produced by the terminal of network shared access to counting equipment, the flow produced by the terminal access content of network shared access is carried out charging by counting equipment, meet the demand of operator, simultaneously, by sending order prompt note to the user being not subscribed to the shared special flow bag of network, can expanding the scope of business of operator, also band gives user and better experiences.
