Description

Flow distribution method in online charging system and online charging system
Technical Field
The present invention relates to the field of mobile communications technologies, and in particular, to a method for allocating traffic in an online charging system and an online charging system.
Background
After introducing an OCS (Online Charging System), for an Online Charging user VASP (Value-added Service Platform)/VAC (Value-added Service authentication Center), an Online Charging request needs to be triggered to the OCS in real time. The functional division of labor of the VASP/VAC and the OCS mainly comprises the following steps: after the service engine triggers an authentication pricing request to the VASP/VAC, the VASP performs service authentication operation and judges whether the user is an online charging user, the online charging user is forwarded to an OCS (online charging system) system through a Data Communication Channel (DCC) protocol to perform charging pricing, the OCS sends a pricing result to the VASP/VAC, and the VASP/VAC returns to the service engine to complete control over content use of the value added service of the user. The VASP/VAC realizes the management of various mobile value-added data services and is responsible for the functions of authentication, order relation management, terminal management and the like of the data value-added services. The VASP/VAC should be able to trigger a charging request from a user of the online charging system to the OCS system based on the subscription information of the user. The VASP/VAC shall store the subscription information of various value added services of the user. And when the VASP/VAC judges that the service use request of the user meets the condition of the online charging authentication requirement, the VASP/VAC sends a charging request to the OCS.
Fig. 1 is a flow chart of signaling interaction among the service engine, the VASP/VAC and the OCS in the prior art. As shown in fig. 1, a session start Request message TrafficPrice sent by a service engine is transmitted to VASP/VAC, and the VASP/VAC performs authentication processing on a service, and transmits related information and a result to an OCS through an initial CCR (Credit Control Request) to Request. The OCS calculates and reserves the relevant information and results from the VASP/VAC, and transmits the available traffic to the VASP/VAC through an initial CCA (Credit Control Answer). The VASP/VAC sends a session start response message trafficPriceResp to the service engine according to the initial CCA returned by the OCS. After the reserved flow arrives, the service engine reports a session start request message TrafficPrice to the VASP/VAC, and the VASP/VAC sends an update CCR to the OCS, reports the used flow and requests to apply for the flow. And the OCS performs reservation according to the reported update CCR and sends the available flow to the VASP/VAC through the update CCA. The VASP/VAC sends a session start response message trafficPriceResp to the service engine according to the updated CCA returned by the OCS. If the service of the UE is finished, the VASP/VAC receives a session stop request message sent by a service engine; and the VASP/VAC sends a termination CCR to the OCS and reports the used flow. And the OCS performs calculation deduction according to the reported termination CCR, and returns the termination CCA to the VASP/VAC, and the VASP/VAC returns a session stop response message to the service engine.
Through analysis of the prior art, the inventor of the present application finds that, an IMS (IP Multimedia Subsystem) allows one UE to simultaneously support flow calculation of multiple concurrent services, and since the flow corresponding to the package balance of the UE is limited, if the resource reserved by the OCS each time is too small, the allocated flow will be consumed quickly, and the IMS may frequently initiate the operations described in the above interaction process, thereby increasing the signaling load of the network and the processing overhead of the system.
Currently, each large operator adopts a method of setting a fixed reserved traffic quantity. Such a processing method is crude and only a compromise processing method can be selected under various constraints. Therefore, the technical problems in the prior art are as follows: how to reduce the signaling load of the network and the processing overhead of the online charging system.

All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
Some words mentioned in the examples of the present invention are exemplified below.
The UE (User Equipment) mentioned in the embodiments of the present invention is a device such as a mobile terminal or a Personal Computer (PC). Such as a smart phone, a Personal Digital Assistant (PDA), a tablet computer, a laptop computer, a car computer (carputer), a handheld game console, smart glasses, a smart watch, a wearable device, a virtual display device or a display enhancement device (e.g., Google Glass, Oculus Rift, Hololens, Gear VR), etc.
The low-flow service belongs to low-risk service, the requirement on the distribution precision of the flow is not high, and the reduction of signaling overhead is mainly considered in a focused manner; and the high-flow service belongs to high-risk service, and has higher requirements on the accuracy and the real-time performance of flow distribution. In addition, in the current mobile communication environment, when multiple transmission modes coexist, multiple mobile terminals coexist, and multiple media types coexist, the difference of transmission bandwidths between different UEs is large, and the difference of transmission bandwidths of different media is also large for the same UE in different environments. Therefore, a method for allocating traffic in an online charging system can be provided according to the above situation.
Fig. 2 is a flowchart of a method for allocating traffic in an online charging system according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in fig. 2, a method for allocating traffic in an online charging system according to an embodiment of the present invention includes:
in step S101, after receiving an initial credit control request for requesting traffic allocation sent by a value added service platform VASP/value added service authentication center VAC, sending a first reserved traffic value of a first service of UE to the VASP/VAC.
The initial credit control request in this embodiment may include: an identity of a first service of the UE. For this purpose, the VASP/VAC may be transmitted with a first reserved flow value corresponding to the UE first service acquired in advance.
The first service may be a low traffic service or a high traffic service, and this embodiment does not limit this. Specifically, the low-traffic service refers to a service requiring less data traffic for one access, for example, a request for accessing a web page, text content in a client, and the like.
The first reserved flow value in the above steps is a first flow allocation value obtained in advance according to historical data of first service usage flow of the UE in a preset time period. Specifically, after receiving a service request of the UE, the service engine sends a session start request message TrafficPrice to VASP/VAC; the VASP/VAC authenticates the service; the VASP/VAC sends the relevant information and results to the OCS through the initial CCR to request, the OCS calculates and reserves the relevant information sent by the VASP/VAC, and the usable flow is sent to the VASP/VAC through the initial CCA.
Next, in step S102, an update credit control request transmitted by the VASP/VAC is received.
Understandably, if the first reserved flow value of the UE is insufficient, receiving an update credit control request sent by the VASP/VAC. If the first reserved traffic value of the UE is sufficient, the online charging system may not receive the credit update control request sent by the VASP/VAC, and this embodiment does not describe the case where the first reserved traffic value of the UE is sufficient.
The credit control update request may include a traffic application request sent by the UE after the traffic used for the first service reaches the first reserved traffic value.
Next, in step S103, a second traffic allocation value that the UE currently needs to use is determined according to the update credit control request.
For example, the second traffic allocation value is determined according to the first reserved traffic value, a time period for the UE to use the first reserved traffic value, and a preset fixed time. Specifically, acquiring a time period for the UE to use the first reserved traffic value; dividing the first reserved flow value by the time period to obtain the flow used by the UE in unit time; calculating to obtain the flow required by the UE within a preset fixed time according to the flow used by the UE within unit time; judging whether the residual flow in the package of the UE is larger than the flow required by the UE within a preset fixed time or not; if so, determining the flow required by the UE within a preset fixed time as the second flow distribution value; otherwise, determining the remaining traffic in the package of the UE as the second traffic distribution value.
Finally, in step S104, the determined second traffic allocation value is transmitted to the VASP/VAC, so that the VASP/VAC is transmitted to the UE.
In a specific embodiment, the OCS returns the initial CCA to the VASP/VAC, and the VASP/VAC sends a session start response message TrafficPriceResp to the service engine according to the initial CCA returned by the OCS. After the flow with the first reserved flow value reaches the UE, if the UE uses the flow with the first reserved flow value and needs to apply for the flow, the service engine reports TrafficPrice to the VASP/VAC, the VASP/VAC sends an update CCR to the OCS, reports the used flow and applies for the flow, the OCS reserves according to the reported update CCR and sends the usable flow to the VASP/VAC through the update CCA.
In this embodiment, after receiving an initial credit control request for requesting traffic allocation sent by a VASP/VAC, the online charging system sends a first reserved traffic value of a first service of a UE to the VASP/VAC, where the first reserved traffic value is a first traffic allocation value obtained in advance according to historical data of traffic used by the UE within a preset time period; if the flow distribution value of the UE is insufficient, receiving an update credit control request sent by the VASP/VAC; and calculating the flow consumed by the UE in unit time according to the first flow distribution value and the time required by the UE to consume the first flow distribution value, so that the flow corresponding to the flow consumed by the UE in unit time can be distributed according to the flow consumed by the UE in unit time, and the signaling load of a network and the processing overhead of an online charging system are reduced.
Fig. 3 is a flowchart of a method for allocating traffic in an online charging system according to another embodiment of the present invention. As shown in fig. 3, a method for allocating traffic in an online charging system according to another embodiment of the present invention includes:
in step S201, the first traffic allocation value is obtained according to the historical data of the first service usage traffic within a preset time period of the UE.
The first service may be a low-traffic service, and specifically, the low-traffic service refers to a service requiring less data traffic for one access, for example, a request for accessing a web page, text content in a client, and the like. The flow distribution value can meet the flow requirements of most of small-flow services, can be obtained through statistical analysis of historical data, can also be obtained according to the using behaviors of the UE to the small-flow services, and can also be obtained according to experience. At present, the preferable scheme is set to be 1M, and the scheme can basically meet the requirement of 95% of low-traffic services on traffic, so that 95% of low-traffic services can complete services only by applying for one-time traffic distribution. The small flow service requires less flow, so the requirement for the reservation precision of the flow is not high, and on the contrary, if the reservation limit is too small, the flow is requested for many times, which brings too high cost for the signaling of the online charging system. Therefore, it is necessary to obtain a proper flow distribution value, so that the flow required by most of the low-flow services can be satisfied by applying the flow once.
Specifically, the steps include: rejecting abnormal data existing in the historical data to obtain a data set for acquiring the first traffic distribution value; sorting the flow data in the data set according to the size of the flow data, and selecting the flow data at the Nth position of the sorting as a current preset value, wherein N is a natural number greater than or equal to 1; taking the current preset value as a starting point of the statistical flow data, and taking the product of the current preset value and a preset multiple as a cut-off point of the statistical flow data; counting the number of all flow data between the starting point and the stopping point; judging whether the number is smaller than the product of the total number of the flow data in the data set and a preset proportion; and if the current preset value is smaller than the first flow distribution value, taking the current preset value as the first flow distribution value.
More specifically, after the step of determining whether the number is less than the product of the total number of the flow data in the data set and the preset ratio, the method further includes: if the cut-off point is larger than or equal to the starting point, taking the cut-off point as the starting point; taking the product of the current preset value and the M power of a preset multiple as a cut-off point of statistical flow data, wherein M is a natural number greater than or equal to 2; the above-described step of counting the number of pieces of all the flow data between the start point and the end point is repeated.
In a specific embodiment, most of the session traffic will require less than a certain amount of traffic. For example, a client running in the background on a mobile terminal interacts with a server, a separate web page is loaded, and a certain application class is operated on the client. The required flow of the session generated by these behaviors is generally smaller than a certain predetermined value, the operations larger than the value are mainly streaming media type operations and downloading operations of a certain large file, the predetermined value is used as a flow distribution value, which basically ensures that most of the sessions can be operated only by distributing the flow once, so that the signaling interaction quantity between the entity to which the flow is distributed and the entity to which the flow is distributed can be greatly reduced, and the predetermined value is changed correspondingly in the process of high-speed development of the flow demand situation of the client on the mobile terminal, so that it is difficult to use a certain predetermined value as the flow distribution value for a long time. In addition, since the difference of the traffic used by each UE is relatively large, it is better to distinguish between different UEs. Embodiments for obtaining the traffic assignment value can be obtained according to the above-described situation.
Specifically, the OCS collects a record of the traffic consumed by all sessions during the last period of time, which may be, preferably, a month. Records that lead to session termination due to insufficient remaining traffic are excluded. Such records are subject to unexpected interruptions and do not fully reflect the behavior of users using traffic. And (4) excluding records with the consumption flow less than the minimum value (1K is adopted at present) of the normal service, obtaining a final record set, and counting the total number of records in the set. Because, empirically, periodic sessions between background clients and servers typically produce less than 1K of traffic. Such traffic is not caused by the behavior of the user in operating the mobile terminal normally, and the occurrence frequency is very high, which greatly affects the analysis of the user behavior and needs to be excluded. Wherein, the record of the end of the session and the record of the consumed flow less than the lowest value of the normal service are abnormal data because of insufficient residual flow.
And then, sorting the records in the final record set from high to low according to the consumed flow, and selecting the flow value consumed by the record at the front position of the sorting as the current preset value. The selection of the current preset value is not high in requirement, because the value is an initial value of subsequent calculation, and gradually approaches to an optimal value through subsequent iteration processing, and preferably, the recorded flow consumption value at the former 25% position can be adopted as the current preset value.
Finally, the number of records (220K) with the consumption flow size between the current preset value (200K) and 1.1 times of the current preset value is counted, if the increased number is less than 2% of the total number, the current preset value is used as a flow distribution value, otherwise, the 1.1 times of the current preset value is used as a new current preset value, and then steps similar to the current preset value are executed. Neither the selection of 1.1 times nor the selection of 2% is critical nor the only selection, for example, 1.2 times or 3% is also possible, and the two values only represent the step size of iteration and have no influence on the final optimal value.
For example, assuming that there are 1000 records in total, the flow consumption value of the record at the first 25% position is 200K, and then 1.1 times is 220K, and it is counted how many records are added from 200K to 220K, for example, 100 records are added, since 100>1000 × 2%, the number of records in this interval is still large, and thus iterative calculation is required. 1.1 times 220K is 242K, and then count how many records are added between 220K and 242K, and assuming that 10 records are added, 10<1000 x 2%, so the number of records in this interval is small enough to use 220K as the flow distribution value and not expand upwards.
Next, in step S202, an initial credit control request sent by the integrated value added service platform VASP/value added service authentication center VAC is received.
Wherein the initial credit control request includes processing information obtained by processing a session start request message triggered by the service request of the UE by the VASP/VAC to a service engine. Specifically, the session start request message includes a traffic application request, an identifier of the UE, and a value added service identifier. The processing information includes whether the UE is an online charging user. And if the UE is an online charging user, the processing information further comprises a service ID of the UE, an ID of a product purchased by the UE and a product composition ID.
Next, in step S203, it is checked whether the first reserved traffic value to be sent to the VASP/VAC is greater than the traffic remaining in the package of the UE.
Under the condition that the UE is an online charging user, package information bought by the user for the UE has related records in an online charging system. And if the first reserved flow value to be sent to the VASP/VAC is larger than the flow left in the package of the UE, sending the flow left in the package of the UE as the first reserved flow value to the VASP/VAC.
Next, in step S204, in a case that the first reserved traffic value to be sent to the VASP/VAC is not greater than the traffic remaining in the package of the UE, the first reserved traffic value of the first service of the UE is sent to the VASP/VAC.
And whether the service is a low-flow service or a high-flow service, the flow allocated to the service for the first time is a first reserved flow value.
Then, in step S205, an update credit control request transmitted by the VASP/VAC is received.
Wherein, the update credit control request includes a traffic application request sent by the UE after the traffic used by the UE for the service reaches the traffic allocation value. And the flow distribution value is a first reserved flow value.
In a specific embodiment, after receiving a service request of the UE, the service engine sends a session start request message TrafficPrice to VASP/VAC; the VASP/VAC authenticates the service; the VASP/VAC sends relevant information and results to the OCS through the initial CCR to request, the OCS calculates and reserves the relevant information sent by the VASP/VAC, and sends available flow to the VASP/VAC through the initial CCA, and the available flow is determined through the following method: and if the residual flow in the UE package is smaller than the flow distribution value, taking the residual flow as the usable flow. As the remaining traffic is the only traffic available to the user, only so much traffic can be allocated. And if the residual flow is greater than or equal to the flow distribution value, the flow with the flow distribution value is taken as the usable flow.
For example, assuming that the traffic allocation value is finally determined to be 1M, if the remaining traffic of the UE package is 5M, 1M is directly allocated; if the remaining traffic for the UE package only has 0.6M traffic remaining, only 0.6M can be allocated.
Finally, in step S206, a flow is allocated to the UE according to the update credit control request.
The first service may be a large traffic service, such as a video service, a large file download service, and the like. The allocating traffic to the UE according to the update credit control request includes: acquiring the time required by the UE for using the traffic with the size of the first traffic reserved value; dividing the flow distribution value by the time to obtain the flow consumed by the UE in unit time; calculating to obtain the flow required by the UE within a preset fixed time according to the flow consumed by the UE within unit time; judging whether the residual flow in the package of the UE is larger than the flow required by the UE within a preset fixed time or not; under the condition that the residual flow in the package of the UE is judged to be larger than the flow required by the UE within the preset fixed time, distributing the flow for the UE according to the flow required by the UE within the preset fixed time; and under the condition that the flow rate remaining in the package of the UE is judged to be less than or equal to the flow rate required by the UE within the preset fixed time, distributing the flow rate for the UE according to the flow rate remaining in the package of the UE. And the flow remaining in the package of the UE is the remaining total flow, and the flow distribution value is a first reserved flow value.
In a specific embodiment, the OCS returns the initial CCA to the VASP/VAC, and the VASP/VAC sends a session start response message TrafficPriceResp to the service engine according to the initial CCA returned by the OCS. After the traffic with the size of the traffic distribution value reaches the UE, if the UE finishes using the traffic with the size of the traffic distribution value and needs to apply for the traffic, the service engine reports TrafficPrice to the VASP/VAC, the VASP/VAC sends an update CCR to the OCS, reports the used traffic and applies for the traffic, the OCS reserves according to the reported update CCR and sends the available traffic to the VASP/VAC through the update CCA, and the available traffic is determined through the following method:
the time required for obtaining the flow with the size of the consumed flow distribution value (the time can be obtained by calculating the difference between the time for sending the initial CCA and the time for receiving the updated CCR, the flow consumed in the unit time of the current service is equal to the flow distribution value divided by the time for consuming the first flow distribution value, the flow required in a certain fixed time is calculated, the fixed time can be 1 minute, if the residual flow in the package of the UE is greater than the flow required in the fixed time, the used flow is determined as the flow required in the fixed time, and if the residual flow is less than or equal to the flow required in the fixed time, the usable flow is determined as the residual flow. For example, the media types are very different, the bandwidths of UEs are also very different, and it is difficult to estimate the bandwidth required for one video connection in advance, so that the estimation can be performed according to the usage situation only after the usage is performed for a while. For example, if the first traffic allocation value is 1M, and a certain user using a video service can only use the 1M traffic for 0.5 minute, it can be calculated that the traffic required by the service per minute of the user is 2M, if the user account still has 5M traffic, the traffic of 2M needs to be allocated as the traffic reservation limit of each subsequent time, and is allocated to the user for use, and if the account only has 1.5M traffic, the 1.5M traffic is directly allocated to the user.
In another embodiment of the present invention, the remaining traffic in the package of the UE is: and the residual flow obtained by subtracting the flow to be used by the second service from the residual total flow in the package of the UE in advance. Specifically, the method further comprises: estimating in advance to obtain a flow required by the second service initiated by the UE within the preset fixed time; subtracting the flow required by the UE for initiating the second service within the preset fixed time from the residual flow in the package of the UE to obtain distributable flow; judging whether the distributable flow is larger than the flow required by the UE within a preset fixed time or not; determining the flow required by the UE within the preset fixed time as the second flow distribution value under the condition that the distributable flow is judged to be larger than the flow required by the UE within the preset fixed time; and determining the distributable flow as the second flow distribution value under the condition that the distributable flow is judged to be less than or equal to the flow required by the UE within the preset fixed time. Wherein the second traffic may be low-traffic.
In a specific embodiment, the OCS calculates in advance that the flow rate required for the low traffic that may be initiated does not generally exceed 5M within 1 minute, and therefore, the value obtained by subtracting 5M from the remaining flow rate is used as the maximum allocable amount L of the high trafficMAXIf LMAXIf the flow rate is greater than L required in a fixed time, the flow rate used is determined as the flow rate required in the fixed time, if LMAXAnd is less than or equal to L, the usable flow rate is determined as the residual flow rate.
For example, if the current user has 10M remaining traffic, we consider that 5M is reserved for low traffic to be a reasonable value, and when the high traffic of the user needs to allocate 6M, we consider 6>10-5, and therefore, only 5M can be allocated to the user.
Since a plurality of services are often executed concurrently in the current smart phone, for example, a user may need to send and receive WeChat or browse a webpage while watching a video. If the remaining flows are all allocated to the large-flow service, if a small-flow service needs to be executed concurrently, that is, when a user needs to browse a webpage while watching a video, the small-flow service of the user is rejected because no flow can be allocated, and in fact, the reason for no flow in this case is because all the small-flow services are allocated to the large-flow service in advance, so when allocating the flow to the large-flow service, a part of the flow needs to be reserved for the small-flow service in advance.
Preferably, the method further comprises: acquiring the residual flow in the package of the UE at intervals of a preset time interval, and judging whether the residual flow is greater than a preset first threshold value or not; if not, adjusting the first flow distribution value. Specifically, the remaining traffic in the package of the UE is checked every first preset time period, and whether the remaining traffic is greater than a preset first threshold value is determined; and reducing the flow distribution value under the condition that the residual flow is judged to be less than or equal to the preset first threshold value.
Wherein the decreasing the flow allocation value comprises: calculating the difference value between the current flow distribution value and a preset flow distribution value and the number of days between the current time and the end of the month; and dividing the difference value by the number of days to obtain a daily decrement value of the current flow distribution value, and reducing the current flow distribution value according to the daily decrement value.
In a specific embodiment, the flow distribution value may also be automatically adjusted according to the flow usage in the package of the user. Specifically, the remaining amount of traffic in each package of each user is checked at intervals, preferably 1 day, and the UE whose remaining amount is lower than or equal to the first threshold value reduces its traffic allocation value, where the first threshold value may be dynamically adjusted according to the consumption of traffic by the user, for example, the setting of the value may become larger gradually as the bandwidth is expanded and the popularity of various clients increases. Now, 5M is preferred. The reduction scheme of the flow distribution value may be various, and a simple method such as halving each time is possible. In addition, there is also a preferable scheme, for example, a decreasing scheme day by day, specifically, a found value between the current first reserved line and the lowest value of the first reserved line set by the system is calculated, then the number of days from the end of the month in the current time is calculated, and the difference is divided by the number of days as a decreasing value. Therefore, users with low flow residual in the package need smaller flow reservation precision to ensure the accuracy of real-time flow reservation, and therefore the first reservation limit is reduced through various methods to improve the flow reservation precision.
Further, the method further comprises: acquiring the load of the online charging system in a preset time interval at intervals of a preset time interval, and judging whether the load is greater than a preset second threshold value; if so, judging whether the residual flow in the package of the UE is larger than a preset first threshold value; if not, adjusting the first flow distribution value. Specifically, the load of the online charging system in a first preset time period is calculated every other first preset time period, and whether the load is greater than a preset second threshold value is judged; under the condition that the load is judged to be larger than the preset second threshold value, judging whether the flow rate remained in the package of the UE is larger than a preset first threshold value or not; and increasing the flow distribution value under the condition that the flow remaining in the package of the UE is judged to be larger than a preset first threshold value.
Wherein the increasing the flow allocation value comprises: and increasing the current flow distribution value according to the flow used by the UE for the service.
In particular embodiments, the traffic allocation value may also be automatically adjusted according to the overall load of the OCS. And calculating the load of the OCS in the time period at intervals of a certain time, preferably 1 day, and if the load is greater than a second threshold value, increasing the first reserved quota of the UE with the surplus being greater than the first threshold value. The simple processing method is directly doubled, and the more optimized mode is that the user analyzes how many times of reserved quota is required to be applied for each service of each UE, if the UE with more times indicates that the service requested by the UE is mainly large-flow service, the first reserved quota of the UE is improved more, so that the signaling interaction between the UE and the OCS can be reduced, and the UE with less times can consider that the current first reserved quota can basically meet the requirement of the UE, so the increased quota can be selected to be small. The flow reservation accuracy is improved by reducing the setting of the flow distribution value, but the negative effect is that the load of the OCS is increased, so that the signaling interaction can be reduced by improving the first reservation limit of some users. Where the second threshold is a parameter value used to characterize the OCS load, we preferably set it to 90% of the OCS total capacity, depending on the actual application.
In a specific embodiment, the VASP/VAC sends TrafficPriceResp to the service engine according to the updated CCA returned by the OCS. After the flow in the preset fixed time period reaches the UE, if the UE finishes using the flow and needs to apply for the flow, the service engine continues to report TrafficPrice to the VASP/VAC. If the service of the UE is finished, the VASP/VAC receives a session stop request message sent by a service engine, the VASP/VAC sends a termination CCR to the OCS, the used flow is reported, and the OCS carries out pricing deduction according to the reported termination CCR; the OCS returns a termination CCA (fee deduction success) to the VASP/VAC, which returns a session stop response message to the service engine.
