Fig. 8 show according to a further advantageous embodiment of the invention one kind in 3GPP system In, by AS as equipment is performed, to carry out the method flow diagram of background data transmission.

Within the system, AS is application server, and PCRF can be used as the counting equipment, Transfer management equipment is deployed on SCEF, and is substituted with SCEF, with 3GPP standards Unanimously.Those skilled in the art will be understood that first, and transfer management deployed with devices is in SCEF It is the most suitable, but it is also possible to be deployed on other network elements, such as MTC-IWF；Second, it is following AS, PCRF and SCEF are the relevant device strengthened.

Here, the explanation to each step of Fig. 8 is shown below, wherein, step S81 is extremely The flow that S86, step S811 are transmitted to background datas such as step S813 refers to TS23.203.

Step S81：One third party AS sends background data transmission request (comprising AS marks Know symbol, AS and refer to ID, each UE request data quantity, UE quantity, required time Window) message is to SCEF.The resource management that the message is transmitted based on existing background data. Refer to TS23.682.

Step S82：SCEF certifications AS is asked.

Step S83：Based on AS requests, SCEF sends background data transmission request to PCRF. Background data transmission request bag identifier containing ASP, each UE data volumes waiting for transmission, UE Desired amount, required time window, and optionally, network area information.

Step S84：PCRF asks all existing transmission strategy (alternatively, PCRF from SPR Seek additional charges strategy (additional charging account policy) from OCS.

Step S85：SPR provides all existing transmission strategies and corresponding network area letter Cease and give PCRF (alternatively, additional account policy is responded to PCRF by OCS).

Step S86：PCRF is based on by the AS information provided and other available informations, really Fixed one or more transmission strategies.Transmission strategy, which is included, is used for the recommendation time that background data is transmitted Window, the rate for the time window refer to and alternatively, amount to Maximum Bit Rate (maximum aggregated bitrate) (i.e. maximum speed of download).

Step S87：PCRF is enhanced using the function of above-mentioned counting equipment.PCRF is determined Whether AS is able to carry out intelligent data transmission.If AS energy, PCRF is rung with different rates SCEF is answered, it includes standard and rate.The different rate, which is comprised in, is sent to AS Background data transmission response message in.If AS can not, SCEF will perform intelligent data Conveying flow.Logic tree is as follows：

In the background data transmission response from PCRF to SCEF, two kinds of new parameters are carried. First new parameter be intelligent data transmission identifier (Smart Data Delivery Indicator, SDDI), comprising three parts, form is as follows：

Whom this new parameter illustrates to perform intelligent data transmission, AS or SCEF.

Second new parameter be different rates rule (Different Charging Rate Rule, DCRR), contain by SCEF from PCRF to AS condition value and related prices.Work as AS When performing intelligent data transmission, this message is sent to AS.PCRF provides different rates To AS.Form is as follows：

Note：Condition value includes workload, time etc..

Step S88-S89：PCRF responds AS by SCEF using different rates. The background data that the two new parameters SDDI and DCRR are comprised in from PCRF to AS is passed In defeated.

Step S810：AS is increased using above-mentioned application server as function when performing equipment By force, to handle different rates, so as to select the best opportunity to perform background data transmission.

Step S811-S813：With reference to TS23.203 [27] 7.11.1 bars, and TS23.682.AS Monitoring flow can also be triggered.

Step S91-S99：With reference to Fig. 8 step S81-S89.

Step S910-S915：The demand of standard values of the AS based on billing conditions value, generation intelligence Data-transfer parameters, and add it in " optimal MTC requests "." optimal MTC Request " is sent to SCEF by the open layer of enhanced service.Stored in SCEF from AS The intelligent data Transfer Parameters of reception, further to handle.SCEF will detect Freight Basis Value.If standard is unreasonable (for example, standard is all lower than any rate in history list), base It is included in " optimal MTC responses " and is sent in the proposed standard of the history list of rate AS.If standard rationally, confirms that parameter is included in " optimal MTC responses " and is sent to AS. In this example, first standard value is irrational, and SCEF gives one for AS and pushed away Recommend standard value.

Step S916：After the triggering of AS equipment is received, it is related that SCEF starts request charging The network equipment.SCEF can also be by using new or existing interface, with new enhancing AVP (Attribute Value Pair, property value to) together, ask and respond PCRF's Charge information/strategy (notes：Here can also be based on implementing, using enhanced service air switch layer To monitor).PCRF can obtain rate information with OCS interfaces from OCS.

SCEF sends request message extremely by the new interface Rxs between SCEF and PCRF PCRF.Within the message, form includes three parts：AS ID, transfer management device id, And the standard value of billing conditions threshold value.

Application server ID

Transfer management device id

The standard value of billing conditions threshold value

For response message, it is understood that there may be two kinds of response messages.Form is as follows：First is PCRF responds designator to SCEF.

SCEF obtains the response, and determines whether that this is the optimal MTC times.

Second is that PCRF response criterias value and related prices (are walked to SCEF with reference to Fig. 8 Rapid S87 DCRR definition).

SCEF obtains the response and analyzes whether current charge condition rate meets billing conditions threshold The standard value of value.If meeting, SCEF responses AS.

Step S917：After SCEF gets result from charging related network device, SCEF Analyze the result and perform intelligent control, to determine whether being optimal MTC opportunitys.If SCEF Think that this is not optimal MTC opportunitys, SCEF can retain MTC flows to AS until with In the optimal MTC opportunitys of the scene, then the flow is assigned to AS.

Step S918：When billing conditions meet standard, " optimal MTC is touched for SCEF transmissions Hair " message is to AS.In this example, billing conditions are lower than standard value, therefore SCEF is sent out Optimal MTC opportunitys are sent to AS.

Step S919：MTC communication between AS and UE starts.Flow refers to 3GPP TS23.682。

Step S920-S922：During MTC communication being carried out between AS and UE, SCEF The also change of real-time update charging policy all the time, and count transmitted data volume.Show at this In example, current tariff billing conditions are higher than standard value, and data transfer is not completed also.Therefore, SCEF judges that it is not intended to MTC Best Times, and sends " optimal MTC triggerings " Message is to notify AS optimal MTC opportunitys to be over.

Step S923：AS retains MTC communication and waits SCEF to report that this is to be used for MTC again The Best Times of communication.

Based on Fig. 8 and Fig. 9 flow, exemplified by downloading TV programme：

Intelligent home equipment, such as intelligence TV transmit management to update TV using intelligent data Program.Because this is not a critical activity, partly it can update yesterday, so can profit The cheap rate and high transmission rates transmitted with MTC data.Therefore, if AS can utilize PCRF Intelligent data transmission is performed by SCEF, " optimal MTC request informations include a ratio Daytime, lower standard value was sent to SCEF.SCEF asks charging policy to PCRF, and Obtain current charge strategy.SCEF analyzes current charge strategy based on standard value, to determine Whether current charge strategy meets standard." optimal MTC triggerings " is sent to AS to notify AS whether this be MTC best opportunity.If Best Times, AS is that user updates TV Program.If Best Times have terminated, AS will retain the operation and wait Best Times again Occur.If AS can not perform intelligent data by SCEF by PCRF and transmit, AS energy Enough obtain different rates and be used for the Best Times that MTC data is transmitted with its determination.
