Abstract

The present invention discloses a method that a charging server outputs user charging information by timing. A method that a charging server outputs user charging information by timing can avoid a system operation peak generated when the charging server outputs charging information. The user amount of the charging server is designed as N. All users on the charging server is arranged in T user queues, and each queue can accommodate maximum user number as M. The relation among the N, the T and M: M*T>N. A user queue index P that the charging server points at the current second is regenerated at intervals of one second. When the user enters a state which waits for the next output of charging information, a nearest nonfull queue is found. Needed detected times ROUNDTRIP of the user is calculated. If the ROUNDTRIP is larger than zero, the ROUNDTRIP=ROUNDTRIP-1 is set. The detection for the user is ended. Vice versa, the charging information of the user is output and a state which waits for the next output of charging information is entered.

Description

Accounting server is regularly exported the method for customer charging information

Technical field

The present invention relates to the telecom charging server, relate in particular to the method that the accounting server charge information is regularly exported.

Background technology

The output of customer charging information is a part very crucial in the network charge system.Especially in the telecommunications service of large user's amount, all the accounting server of bearing customer charging information output there is very strict requirement.Because number of users is huge, the performance that how to improve accounting server just becomes a very important problem.

In the accounting server of routine, mainly adopt following three kinds of schemes output customer charging information:

1. regularly export all users' charge information.

2. regularly export the user's who began to charge at same second charge information.

3. by other system's control accounting server output customer charging information.

The shortcoming of scheme 1 is, because the telecommunication service customer volume is very big, can causes in the output customer charging information and produce the system works peak, is unfavorable for the stable operation of accounting server.

Though scheme 2 improves to some extent, still can't solve the problem that produces the system works peak under the situation that begins simultaneously to charge at a large number of users on the basis of scheme 1.

Though scheme 3 can solve the problem of preceding two schemes, shortcoming is excessively to be coupled with other system.

Summary of the invention

The present invention is in order to overcome weak point of the prior art, provides a kind of accounting server that produces the system works peak can avoid accounting server output charge information the time regularly to export the method for customer charging information.

The present invention is achieved through the following technical solutions:

A kind of accounting server is regularly exported the method for customer charging information, comprises the steps:

(1) initialization operation: the total user capacity of design charges server is N, and all user's fees are placed in T the Subscriber Queue on the accounting server, and the open ended user's maximum quantity of each formation is M, and the pass between the three is: M*T＞N; The Subscriber Queue index that design charges server this second pointed to is P, and the every mistake of the value of described P regenerated after one second, and newly-generated value is got remainder for (P+1) to T, is that loop cycle is used to realize formation with T second;

(2) establishing a customer charging information output unit time is X second, when this user enters wait output charge information state, carries out following steps:

A. calculate the relative value OFFSET=P+X that the user places the formation index;

B. calculating the value that the user places the actual value POS of formation index is that OFFSET gets remainder to T;

C. check whether the number of users among the formation POS has reached maximum;

D. if number of users does not reach maximum among the formation POS, continue following step f;

E. if the number of users among the formation POS has reached maximum, POS is changed to next formation, gets the value of POS and T is got remainder for (POS+1), repeating step c, until finding nearest not full queue, establishing the number of times that finds nearest not full queue is n;

F. calculate the user and also need detected number of times, the value ROUNDTRIP of the number of times that described user is detected is that X is divided exactly the value that T obtains;

(3) accounting server detects all unique users among the Subscriber Queue P of this second sensing each second, and the detection of described unique user comprises the steps:

A. judge that user property ROUNDTRIP whether greater than zero, if greater than zero, ROUNDTRIP=ROUNDTRIP-1 is set then, finishes the detection to this user; If be not more than zero, then execution in step b;

B. export customer charging information;

C. the user enters wait and exports the charge information state next time.

The present invention has following beneficial effect:

Accounting server of the present invention is regularly exported the method for customer charging information and can be concentrated in a large number when beginning to charge the user, to export being distributed in each time period of charge information equably, thereby avoid the appearance on system works peak, improve the user capacity of accounting server and the stability of system's operation effectively.

Embodiment

The invention will be further described below in conjunction with the drawings and specific embodiments.

The total user capacity of design charges server is N, and all user's fees are placed in T the Subscriber Queue on the accounting server, and the open ended user's maximum quantity of each formation is M.Pass between the three is: M*T＞N.The Subscriber Queue index of accounting server this second sensing is P.The every mistake of the value of P regenerated after one second, and newly-generated value is got remainder to T for (P+1), and the method has realized that formation is that loop cycle is used with T second.

If a customer charging information output unit time is X second.When this user enters wait when exporting the charge information state next time, must be placed into according to step shown in Figure 1 in the middle of the corresponding Subscriber Queue.Step is as follows:

A. calculate the relative value OFFSET=P+X that the user places the formation index.See Fig. 1 step 11.

B. calculating the value that the user places the actual value POS of formation index is that OFFSET gets remainder to T.See Fig. 1 step 12.

C. check that whether the number of users among the formation POS has reached maximum, sees Fig. 1 step 13.If number of users does not reach maximum among the formation POS, the steps d below continuing.If the number of users among the formation POS has reached maximum, POS is changed to next formation, get the value of POS and T is got remainder for (POS+1), see Fig. 1 step 14.Repeat Fig. 1 step 13, until finding nearest not full queue, establishing step 14 execution number of times is n.

D. calculating the user also needs to produce the charge information outgoing event behind the detected number of times, and the value ROUNDTRIP of number of times is that X is divided exactly the value that T obtains.See Fig. 1 step 15.

After above step operation, the user will produce the charge information outgoing event at X+n after second.

The detection step of unique user as shown in Figure 2, all users among the Subscriber Queue P that accounting server each second this second is pointed to detect, and when detecting incident that the user exports charge information and take place, export this user's charge information.Detection step to unique user is as follows:

A. if user property ROUNDTRIP greater than zero, is provided with ROUNDTRIP=ROUNDTRIP-1, finish detection to this user.Otherwise continuation following steps.

B. export customer charging information.

C. the user enters wait and exports the charge information state next time.

Illustrate accounting server of the present invention below and regularly export the method for customer charging information.

For example, one is 200 for the dial-up access user provides the maximum user capacity of the charge server system of the service of charging, 000 user, the charge information that each second, system can export at most is 200, the cycle that all dial-up access users produce charge information all is 600 seconds.According to technical scheme of the present invention, 1500 Subscriber Queue are set in system, the maximum open ended number of users of each formation is 200.

At first, we analyze the flow process that unique user experiences.If current have user A dial-up access successful, enter and wait for output charge information state, it is 1500 that Subscriber Queue is counted T, and current Subscriber Queue index P is 1400, and the cycle X that the user produces charge information is 600.According to Fig. 1 flow process, carry out following steps:

A. step 11 is calculated the relative value OFFSET=P+X=2000 that the user places the formation index;

B. step 12 is calculated value that the user places the actual value POS of formation index and is OFFSET and T is got remainder is 500;

C. step 13 checks whether the number of users among the formation POS (500) has reached maximum;

D. if number of users does not reach maximum among the formation POS (500), continue following step f;

E. step 14 if the number of users among the formation POS (500) has reached maximum, is changed to next formation with POS, get the value of POS and T is got remainder for (POS+1), repeating step c is n until finding nearest not full queue, establish the number of times that finds nearest not full queue;

F. step 15 is calculated the user and is also needed detected number of times, and the value ROUNDTRIP of the number of times that described user is detected is that X is divided exactly the value that T obtains and is 0;

Check out among the POS (500) that with step c it is example that number of users does not reach maximum, POS=500 then, n=0, after 600 seconds, the user among the formation POS (500) will be detected one by one so.

The flow process of the detection step execution graph 2 of unique user when user A is detected, finds that the ROUNDTRIP property value of user A is 0, and the output customer charging information makes the user enter the state of next time waiting for the output charge information.

Below, difference and advantage that we compare with other existing program this programme describe.

When dial-up access on daytime number of users hour, promptly the user who begins to charge simultaneously in each second is not more than in 200, the present invention is identical with the effect of scheme 2, all users were the cycle to export charge information with 600 seconds.

When dial-up access in evening number of users is big, promptly each second begin simultaneously the user that charges greater than 200 in, the present invention and the effect of scheme 2 will produce following different:

A. be located at all to have 300 users to open simultaneously continuous 3 seconds to be and charge and do not have the user the system before this from the beginning of current this second.For scheme 2, in continuous 3 seconds after 600 seconds, per second all needs to export 300 customer charging informations, has surpassed the maximum that system can bear, and is unfavorable for very much the stable operation of system.And according to design of the present invention, 300 users in first second have 200 to export charge information after the unit interval of setting.100 meetings postpone one second output charge information than the unit interval of setting.300 users in second second have 100 to export charge information after the unit interval of setting, and 200 meetings postpone one second output charge information than the unit interval of setting.300 users in the 3rd second have 200 than unit interval delay output in the one second charge information of setting, and 100 meetings postpone two seconds output charge informations than the unit interval of setting.On the time accuracy of output customer charging information, the solution of the present invention is error slightly, but it can be effectively with the work peak of the system of elimination.

B. in above analysis, can deeply see scheme 2 per system works peaks that all can produce continuous 3 seconds in 600 seconds.The solution of the present invention just can be avoided same problem.

C. can see deeply in above analysis that the user that NEW BEGINNING charges in 3 seconds work peaks that scheme 2 produced in per 600 seconds can continue to be added to this 3 second, still can't effectively evade knowing perfectly well under the situation that runs into the work peak.And for the solution of the present invention, these users can evenly distribute by the method for a spot of delay output charge information, thereby eliminate the system works peak.
