Description
Technical Field
The present application relates to the field of communications technologies, and in particular, to a method and an apparatus for determining a cost.
Background
At present, the charging modes for the operator to access the internet mainly include charging according to flow, charging according to online time and charging according to bandwidth. Wherein, charging according to bandwidth refers to using fixed bandwidth in fixed time duration. For example, in each month, the user can surf the internet at any time, the used traffic is not limited, but the network bandwidth allocated by the operator to the user does not exceed the bandwidth when the user signs a contract with the operator, that is, the bandwidth used by the user can only be the bandwidth when the user signs a contract. For example, a user subscribes to a network package which is charged by bandwidth in the next year, and the maximum bandwidth of the package is 100M. At this time, the maximum bandwidth used by the user for surfing the internet every time in the next year is 100M.
The bandwidth signed by the user generally can meet the requirement of the user for use at ordinary times, however, when the user needs to use a service with a large data transmission quantity and occupies a bandwidth exceeding the bandwidth signed by the user, the service cannot be normally used due to the bandwidth limitation. For example, a user signs up at 100M bandwidth, and when the user needs to watch a live sporting event, 300M bandwidth is required. Since the fixed bandwidth is 100M, the demand for bandwidth in excess of 100M cannot be met, resulting in a lack of smooth viewing of the sporting event. If the user wants to meet the demand, the contracted bandwidth is changed to 300M.
Therefore, when a user signs a fixed bandwidth and provides a bandwidth exceeding the signed bandwidth for the user, how to determine the exceeded bandwidth and charge is an urgent problem to be solved.

Detailed Description
The embodiments of the present application will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings.
For the convenience of understanding the embodiments of the present application, a communication system applicable to the embodiments of the present application will be first described in detail by taking the system shown in fig. 1 as an example. Fig. 1 shows a schematic diagram of a system structure suitable for the embodiment of the present application. As shown in fig. 1, the system includes a terminal device, a Digital Subscriber Line Access Multiplexer (DSLAM), a Broadband Remote Access Server (BRAS), and an authentication, authorization, and accounting (AAA) Server.
The DSLAM is a local side device of various digital subscriber line systems, and belongs to last kilometer access equipment. The terminal equipment can realize network access by accessing the DSLAM.
BRAS can count information such as flow information, internet surfing time and the like generated in a network by the terminal equipment, and send the information to the AAA server through the accounting message. The AAA server may implement accounting through the accounting message.
In the embodiment of the present application, the terminal device is a device having a wireless or wired transceiving function or a chip that can be set in the device. The apparatus having wireless or wired transceiving function may also be referred to as a User Equipment (UE), an access terminal, a subscriber unit, a subscriber station, a mobile station, a remote terminal, a mobile device, a user terminal, a user agent, or a user equipment. In practical applications, the terminal device in the embodiment of the present application may be a personal computer, a mobile phone (mobile phone), a tablet computer (Pad), a computer with a wireless transceiving function, a Virtual Reality (VR) terminal, an Augmented Reality (AR) terminal, a terminal in industrial control (industrial control), a terminal in self driving (self driving), a wireless terminal in remote medical (remote medical), a terminal in smart grid (smart grid), a terminal in transportation safety (transportation safety), a terminal in smart city (smart city), a terminal in smart home (smart home), and the like. The embodiments of the present application do not limit the application scenarios.
In addition, in the embodiments of the present application, the word "exemplary" is used to mean serving as an example, instance, or illustration. Any embodiment or design described herein as "exemplary" is not necessarily to be construed as preferred or advantageous over other embodiments or designs. Rather, the word using examples is intended to present concepts in a concrete fashion.
The network architecture and the service scenario described in the embodiment of the present application are for more clearly illustrating the technical solution of the embodiment of the present application, and do not form a limitation on the technical solution provided in the embodiment of the present application, and it can be known by a person of ordinary skill in the art that the technical solution provided in the embodiment of the present application is also applicable to similar technical problems with the evolution of the network architecture and the occurrence of a new service scenario.
Referring to fig. 2, a schematic flow chart of a cost determination method provided in the embodiment of the present application is shown.
The method comprises the following steps:
step 201: the BRAS determines the use duration of the terminal equipment in each preset K bandwidth ranges.
Wherein K is an integer greater than 0.
In step 201, the preset K bandwidth ranges may exist in various forms. For example, K is 3, and the contracted bandwidth of the terminal device is 100Mbps, the preset K bandwidth range may be [0,100], (100, 200], (200, + ∞ ]. Although the above is only an example, and the preset K bandwidth range may be other forms, and is not illustrated one by one herein.
It should be noted that the preset K bandwidth ranges may be configured in the BRAS in a pre-configured manner. For example, the command line radius-server bandwidth-step may be newly added, and for example, when the command line radius-server bandwidth-step 0 is 100 200, it means that 3 bandwidth ranges are allocated, which are [0,100], (100, 200], (200, + ∞).
Step 202: and the BRAS sends a charging message to the AAA server.
The charging message comprises the K bandwidth ranges and the service duration of the terminal equipment in each bandwidth range in the K bandwidth ranges; and the accounting message is used for indicating the AAA server to determine the total cost corresponding to the K bandwidth ranges according to the service duration of the terminal equipment in each bandwidth range in the K bandwidth ranges.
Step 203: the AAA server receives accounting messages from the BRAS.
The charging message comprises preset K bandwidth ranges and the service time of the terminal equipment in each bandwidth range in the K bandwidth ranges, wherein K is an integer larger than 0;
step 204: and the AAA server determines the total cost corresponding to the K bandwidth ranges according to the service time of each bandwidth range in the K bandwidth ranges.
By the method, the AAA server can charge according to the bandwidth used by the terminal equipment, can charge according to the rate of subscription when the bandwidth used by the terminal equipment is less than or equal to the subscription bandwidth, and can charge according to the excess bandwidth when the bandwidth used by the terminal equipment is greater than the subscription bandwidth, so that the terminal equipment can charge alone the excess bandwidth of subscription on the basis of not changing the existing subscription bandwidth, and the flexibility of charging is improved.
In this embodiment, before step 201, after the terminal device accesses the network, the BRAS may obtain the user entry of the terminal device. The user table entry includes information such as an identifier of the terminal device, a size of a subscription bandwidth of the terminal device, subscription expiration time of the terminal device, and location information of the terminal device, which is not limited in this embodiment of the present application.
For example, the identifier of the terminal device may be a unique identifier number allocated by an operator to the terminal device, or may be another identifier. The location information of the terminal device may be longitude and latitude coordinates of the terminal device, geographical location information, an installation point code of the terminal device, and the like, which is not described herein again.
The BRAS can regularly acquire the network traffic used by the terminal equipment corresponding to the user table entry.
For example, the BRAS may periodically acquire network traffic used by the terminal device for a time interval. The specific length of one time interval may be determined according to actual circumstances, and may be, for example, 5 seconds, 1 minute, or half an hour, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present application.
The BRAS may determine the bandwidth used by the terminal device during a time interval based on network traffic used by the terminal device during the time interval. Illustratively, the BRAS may divide the network traffic used in the time interval by the time interval to obtain the bandwidth. For example, the BRAS determines that the network traffic used by the terminal device is 1000 bits within 5 seconds, and the bandwidth used by the terminal device within the 5 seconds is 1000/5=200bps.
Further, in combination with the above description, in step 201, the BRAS may determine the usage duration of the terminal device in each bandwidth range according to the network traffic used by the terminal device in N time intervals; n is an integer greater than 0.
Specifically, the BRAS may determine, according to the network traffic used in the N time intervals, the bandwidth used by the terminal device in the N time intervals, to obtain N bandwidths; one of the N bandwidths is a bandwidth used by the terminal device in one of the N time intervals.
And aiming at any one of the N bandwidths, when the bandwidth belongs to a first bandwidth range in the K bandwidth ranges, the BRAS increases the service duration of the first bandwidth range by a time interval corresponding to the bandwidth.
For example, if K is 3, the contracted bandwidth of the terminal device is 100Mbps, the preset K bandwidth ranges may be [0,100], (100, 200], (200, + ∞ ] with 10 seconds for one time interval, and the network traffic used by the terminal device in 5 time intervals is 0, 800M, 1600M, 1800M, 2200M, respectively.
Through the method, the BRAS can count the service time of each preset bandwidth range in the K bandwidth ranges in N time intervals.
In step 202, in the accounting message sent by the BRAS, a newly added attribute field of a Remote Authentication Dial In User Service (RADIUS) may be used to carry the K bandwidth ranges and the usage duration of the terminal device In each bandwidth range of the K bandwidth ranges. It should be noted that other names may also exist in the RADIUS attribute field, and this embodiment of the present application is not limited to this.
For example, the format of the added RADIUS attribute field may be as follows:
the format is as follows: and Min-Max, wherein Min represents the lower bandwidth limit of a bandwidth range, max represents the upper bandwidth limit of the bandwidth range, and online-time represents the use time of the bandwidth range. One accounting packet may carry a plurality of RADIUS attribute fields, and may be configured specifically according to actual conditions, which is not described herein again. For example, one accounting packet carries RADIUS attribute fields with three different values, which are: 0-0, 0-100 and 100-200, representing a terminal device online for 5500 seconds, a usage time of 2000 seconds when the bandwidth is in the range of 0, a usage time of 3000 seconds when the bandwidth is in the range of 0 to 100M, and a usage time of 500 seconds when the bandwidth is in the range of 100M to 200M.
In step 203, after receiving the accounting message, the AAA server may determine the cost corresponding to the usage duration of each bandwidth range in the K bandwidth ranges, and take the sum of the costs corresponding to the usage duration of each bandwidth range in the K bandwidth ranges as the total cost; and aiming at any bandwidth range in the K bandwidth ranges, the AAA server determines the charge corresponding to the service duration of the bandwidth range according to the charge rate corresponding to the bandwidth range.
In this embodiment, the rate corresponding to the bandwidth range may refer to a cost required for using the bandwidth in the bandwidth range in a unit time length. For example, the unit duration is 1 second, and the cost of the bandwidth within the bandwidth range (100, 200) is 1 yuan, which means that the rate corresponding to the bandwidth range (100, 200) is 1 yuan per second.
For example, K is 3, the contracted bandwidth of the terminal device is 100Mbps, the preset K bandwidth range is [0,100], (100,200 ], (200, + ∞ ], and the corresponding rates are 0, 0.1 yuan per second and 0.15 yuan per second, respectively, when the accounting message carries three different values of RADIUS attribute field, 0-100.
Further optionally, in this embodiment of the present application, the AAA server may further send the total cost to the BRAS.
The BRAS receiving the total cost from the AAA server; the total cost is the sum of the costs corresponding to the use duration of each bandwidth range in the K bandwidth ranges, and for any bandwidth range in the K bandwidth ranges, the cost corresponding to the use duration of the bandwidth range is determined according to the rate corresponding to the bandwidth range and the use duration of the bandwidth range.
By the method provided by the embodiment of the application, the terminal equipment is not limited by the contract bandwidth, and when the use of the over contract bandwidth is required, the payment is carried out according to the part of the over contract bandwidth, so that the large bandwidth requirement of a user can be met, and an operator can increase income by reasonably formulating rates in different bandwidth ranges.
The foregoing process is described below by way of a specific example.
Fig. 3 is a schematic diagram of a charging process provided in the embodiment of the present application.
Step 301: the terminal equipment accesses the network and sends a notification message to the BRAS, wherein the notification message is used for notifying the terminal equipment that the terminal equipment has accessed the network.
The notification message may include information such as an identifier of the terminal device, which is not limited in this embodiment and is not described herein again.
Step 302: the BRAS acquires the network traffic used by the terminal equipment in a time interval at preset time intervals.
The BRAS has a function of converging the traffic of the terminal equipment, so that the network traffic of the terminal equipment can be acquired.
Step 303: the BRAS calculates the bandwidth used by the terminal device in a time interval according to the network traffic used by the terminal device in the time interval.
For example, the network traffic used by the terminal device in 1 time interval is 500M, and the time interval is 1 minute. By calculation, it can be determined that the bandwidth used by the terminal device in the time interval is 8.33Mbps.
Step 304: and the BRAS increases the use duration of the bandwidth range corresponding to the bandwidth used by the terminal equipment in the time interval by a time interval.
Step 305: the BRAS sends an accounting message to the AAA server.
For example, the accounting packet sent by the BRAS carries three RADIUS attribute fields with different values, which are: 0-0, 0-100 and 100-200, representing a terminal device online for 5500 seconds, a usage time of 2000 seconds when the bandwidth is in the range of 0, a usage time of 3000 seconds when the bandwidth is in the range of 0 to 100M, and a usage time of 500 seconds when the bandwidth is in the range of 100M to 200M.
Step 306: and the AAA server calculates the total cost according to the accounting message.
In conjunction with the description of step 305, the subscription bandwidth of the terminal device is 100Mbps, the preset K bandwidth ranges are [0,100], (100,200 ], (200, + ∞ ], and the corresponding rates are 0, 0.01 yuan per second and 0.05 yuan per second, respectively, at which time the total cost determined by the AAA server is 0+0.01 + 2000+0.05 + 3000=170 yuan.
Step 307: and the AAA server sends a charging response message to the BRAS, wherein the charging response message comprises the total cost.
