As shown in Figure 2, at first need between GPRS core net and data network, set up synthesized gateway, so that the data service that the user provides by GPRS core net visit data net can be chargeed when using exactly accordingly, described synthesized gateway can be carried out flexible charging based on the flow and the content of data service.
After having set up described synthesized gateway, when the various data services that provide by GPRS core net visit data net as user's (as travelling carriage etc.) are used, execution in step 31.
Step 31:MS (travelling carriage) initiates to activate PDP (packet data protocol) context request to GGSN (Gateway GPRS Support Node), promptly sends " Activate PDP ContextRequest " message to GGSN, and request connects.
Step 32:GGSN initiates long-range beginning billing operation to synthesized gateway, be that GGSN sends " Radius Account Start " message to synthesized gateway, the notice synthesized gateway has new user access network and request to connect, so that the SCP of synthesized gateway and intelligent network (business control nodes) carries out information interaction,, the data service of this user's generation gets ready for being chargeed.
Step 33: synthesized gateway promptly sends " Initial DP GPRS " message to SCP to the operation that SCP initiates request GPRS data processing.
Step 34:SCP issues the response of GPRS event request to synthesized gateway, promptly sends " Request Report GPRS Event " message to synthesized gateway.
Step 35:SCP carries out the authentication process operation to the user, and after subscription authentication is passed through, SCP calculates monitoring flow amount or monitor duration in advance according to the data service that this user's expense remaining sum is respectively different, described different data service comprises WAP, Web, MMS, Java Download, VideoStreaming etc., the monitoring flow or the monitor duration of each data service that will calculate in advance are handed down to synthesized gateway then, promptly by issue " Apply Charging GPRS " message to synthesized gateway, the notice synthesized gateway is at the monitoring flow or the monitor duration of this user's different business;
In this step, SCP can also directly issue the expense of corresponding number as monitoring parameter to synthesized gateway, the data business content of process is monitored according to the expense number that issues by synthesized gateway, and charge accordingly, then with result notification SCP, for example, at first long according to the flow or the time of the data business content of this user capture of the definite permission of the expense number that issues by synthesized gateway, then, synthesized gateway is carried out the flow or the long statistics of time of corresponding data business tine again, and handles accordingly according to the flow or the time progress row of the permission of determining; To synthesized gateway issue the expense number as monitoring parameter and directly sending flow rate or time long as monitoring parameter different be: need handle in synthesized gateway and carry out flow or long determining of time.
Step 36:SCP issues " Continue GPRS (continuing the GPRS data processing) " message to synthesized gateway, after synthesized gateway receives this message, just can continue the process that this user handles by GPRS network visit data net.
Step 37: synthesized gateway sends long-range charging to GGSN and begins notice, promptly send long-range charging request response to GGSN, GGSN accepts " Radius Account Start (long-range charging beginning) " response message of sending of synthesized gateway, and execution in step 38.
Step 38:GGSN returns an activation PDP Context to MS and accepts message, promptly sends to MS and activates PDP Context request responding message, and MS just can carry out gprs service after receiving this message.
Do the mutual of data application between the CP of step 39:MS and data network (content supplier)/Java Download Engine (java applet download)/Video Server/MMSC (multimedia short message service center);
In execution in step 39, synthesized gateway need be added up the flow of each data service or lasting duration respectively, and judge whether the flow value of each data service or lasting duration have surpassed corresponding numerical value in the monitoring parameter that SCP is handed down to synthesized gateway, if the flow of certain data service or lasting duration have surpassed corresponding monitoring flow value or monitor duration in the monitoring parameter, then execution in step 310.
Step 310: give SCP by " ApplyCharging Report GPRS (monitored results) " information reporting with the flow or the duration of the actual use of each data service.SCP is respectively the flow value of the actual generation of each data service or the time of consumption charges, and the total cost that each data service of deduction consumes on user account number;
After the execution in step 310, SCP judges in this user's the account number whether also have remaining expense, be used to continue to pay the expense of visit data business, if have, then execution in step 35, step 39 and step 310 successively, continue as each data service Budget Monitoring flow or monitor duration by SCP, and the monitoring flow or the monitor duration of each data service is handed down to synthesized gateway.This process that circulates does not exist remaining cost or user to ask to finish the process of visit data net, execution in step 311 in user account number;
Synthesized gateway is the traffic statistics of this content 0 then if finding the flow of content charging does not need to charge.
Step 311:MS initiates the request of deexcitation PDP Context to GGSN, promptly sends " Deactivate PDP Context Request " message to GGSN, with the PDP Context that cancellation activates, ends this data service access process.
Step 312:GGSN initiates the operation that long-range charging stops by GGSN to synthesized gateway after receiving that MS sends the request of deexcitation PDP Context, promptly sends " RadiusAccount Stop " message by GGSN to synthesized gateway.
Step 313: after synthesized gateway receives above-mentioned message, give SCP by " Apply Charging Request GPRS (reporting monitored results) " information reporting with the flow or the duration of the actual use of each data service; And by actual use traffic of each data service or duration calculation corresponding cost that the SCP basis reports, then the total cost of the actual use of all data services is deducted from this user's account number, finish charging at the GPRS network user.
Step 314: synthesized gateway reports " Event Report GPRS (GPRS reporting events) " message to SCP, and the Request Report GPRS event report that issues in the notifying process 34 is given SCP.
After step 315:SCP receives above-mentioned message, issue " Release GPRS (discharging GPRS calls out) " message to synthesized gateway.
Step 316: synthesized gateway issues the response that long-range charging stops message to GGSN after receiving the message that step 315 issues, and is received the response of " Radius AccountStop " message that synthesized gateway sends by GGSN.
After step 317:GGSN receives response message, send the response of deexcitation PDP Context, and receive the response of deexcitation PDP Context by MS to MS.
Through the processing procedure of above-mentioned steps 31 to step 317, realized at charging based on GPRS, promptly realized accurate billing, and can adopt charging way flexibly in the charging process, to satisfy different access to netwoks charging demands GPRS network user accesses data net.
It can also be seen that at of the present invention further describing by above-mentioned, owing to adopted unified synthesized gateway that the content and the flow of data business are added up in the present invention, thereby make and on synthesized gateway, to adjust flexibly based on the charging method of flow and content-based charging method, both can carry out charging simultaneously at the data service that takes place based on flow and content, also can only carry out based on flow or content-based charging the data service that takes place, being convenient to Virtual network operator provides more horn of plenty to the user according to actual needs, the means of chargeing more flexibly.
The invention will be further described below in conjunction with a concrete content charging example, as shown in Figure 4:
Step 41:MS initiates request of data to GGSN, the various data services of request visit data net.
After step 42:GGSN receives the request of data that MS sends, transmit the user's data request to synthesized gateway.
Step 43: after synthesized gateway is received the user's data request, resolve user's data request URL (appointed information position), and judge whether this request of data needs to charge according to content, carry out content charging if desired, then initiate the content fee request of withholding to SCP, simultaneously further judge whether this content needs to carry out charge on traffic, if desired, then also need to initiate the traffic fee request of withholding to SCP, so that carry out charge on traffic according to the result of traffic statistics, otherwise promptly this content does not need statistic flow, does not then add up the flow of this content in the charge on traffic flow process; As can be seen, the invention solves that data business content charges and charge on traffic between matching problem.
After step 44:SCP finishes the charging of data business content, respond the withholding fee result, if the withholding fee success to synthesized gateway, then execution in step 45, otherwise, directly return the withholding fee failed message, and carry out the withholding fee operation again or finish this data service access process.
After the step 45:SCP successful execution withholding fee operation, the user's data request is transmitted to the server that the corresponding data business is provided in the data network, as CP/Java Download Engine/VideoServer (Videoconferencing server) etc.
Step 46: after providing the server of corresponding data business to receive above-mentioned message, issue the content of request of data to synthesized gateway, be after described CP/Java Download Engine/Video Server etc. receives request of data, to issue the needed concrete data business content of request of data to synthesized gateway.
Step 47: behind the data business content that the server that synthesized gateway is received provides the corresponding data business is sent, continue to issue described data business content to MS, and described data business content issue finish after execution in step 48.
Step 48: synthesized gateway issues after data business content finishes to MS, and SCP reported data business tine issues status report, and status report has been put down in writing data business content and whether successfully has been handed down to MS.
After step 49:SCP receives described status report, judge according to the content of status report whether synthesized gateway successfully issues corresponding data business content, if issue unsuccessful, then cover user's advance content withholding fee usefulness, the expense that is about to originally withhold from this user's account number adds in this user account number again.Otherwise SCP is for this data service access transaction record and generate corresponding ticket.Simultaneously, SCP also needs to synthesized gateway status report response message.
