Embodiment
Below in conjunction with accompanying drawing preferred implementation of the present invention is described in detail.These descriptions all are exemplary, are not limitation of the invention.
The traffic measurement of telecommunication system mainly comprises the data statistics relevant with system and data statistics two aspects relevant with session.The data statistics relevant with system mainly added up as CPU usage, signaling interface flow etc.The statistics point of this class statistics is fixing, and the statistics amount is little, and realizes easily.The data statistics relevant with session is to add up at user and session, and main statistic comprises call completing rate, various failure reason value statistics etc.Because user's session is initiated at random, the complicated condition that continues is changeable, so this relatively dispersion of class statistics point, and the statistics amount is big, and statistical demand is uncertain, implements the comparison difficulty.The present invention handles the data statistics relevant with session.
The present invention is by the enough abundant traffic measurement information of network entity collection, and this information is outputed to outside traffic measurement processing unit.Be responsible for handling the traffic measurement data by the traffic measurement processing unit of outside according to statistical demand analysis.
Fig. 2 has shown the system construction drawing that is used to realize statistical method for telephone traffic of the present invention.As shown in Figure 2, this system comprises the traffic measurement collecting unit, and it receives the original traffic record that the telecommunication apparatus that is used for telecommunication apparatus related service function (handling as session) is gathered by predetermined signaling paths when its functional module is carried out business function.This original traffic record has comprised the various traffic information of this session.The traffic measurement collecting unit generates relevant TDR according to this original traffic record.Wherein comprised complete service attribute and this telecommunication apparatus identification information of session; The traffic measurement collecting unit sends to the traffic measurement output control unit with the TDR that generates then, and output control unit cushions the information of gathering and exports to outside traffic measurement processing unit.
Because TDR information is more, for different user's requests, be not that all TDR require to be gathered, so can pass through conventional methods such as configuration, predefine definite in the collection point of TDR.Like this, can filter out the unwanted data of user,, alleviate the burden of traffic measurement processing unit to reduce information flow-rate in the TDR acquisition phase.
Because original TDR comprises the whole session statistical information of (comprising charging point), so collect TDR according to the definite traffic measurement point of the crucial signaling process point of session service among the present invention.When successfully setting up, session begins traffic measurement; Traffic information in the middle of the output during the session; During conversation end, finish traffic measurement.If failure is handled in session, in abnormality processing end point output traffic information.Fig. 3 has shown that a session successfully sets up the TDR information gathering point example of process, wherein embodied when a service conversation is successfully set up (session is replied successfully), network insertion unit and Session Control Unit have produced the message of beginning traffic measurement respectively to output control unit, when session discharges, produce and finish traffic measurement message, and the relevant information of carrying this traffic.The traffic attribute that dissimilar network elements carries may be different, for example: information such as access control unit portability resources for traffic takies, access network attribute; The business tine information that the session of Session Control Unit portability realizes etc.In implementation process, can dispose according to the concrete business demand of traffic measurement, to choose the required information gathering point of user.
Traffic measurement gather related telecommunication apparatus comprise have network insertion, the equipment of call session control, service control function, or have all or the equipment of two functions wherein simultaneously.These equipment can be according to configuration respectively from the different traffic measurement business datum of the different business attribute acquisition of session, for example network access equipment can be gathered resource occupation information in the conversation procedure, message control module can be provided by the business that conversation procedure is realized, information such as the COS that provides.
The address of traffic measurement processing unit can be pre-configured.For example can adopt that (Charging Control Function: the charging controlled function) the same mode in address disposes with CCF.The TDR of same session is by traffic identifier (TID, Traffic Identifier) association.That is, use TID in the message of each output, outside traffic measurement processing unit associates the related news of a session according to TID.
In addition, since charge to use and the traffic measurement application in have identical information element (for example crucial signalling point information etc.),, because causing the message traffic of the external output of network entity excessive, containing much information of TDR traffic measurement information gathering and charge information collection can be merged for preventing.Need define traffic measurement, two kinds of information unit data that business all needs of charging for the TDR acquisition module, realize the collection of two class business datums, be fused in the dateout.Charging processing unit that telecommunication apparatus is outer and traffic measurement processing unit need define professional separately (charging, traffic measurement) required data cell, can sort out professional separately needed data according to predefine information separately.
As shown in Figure 2, in said system, further comprised the TDR output control unit.Its major function is that the TDR that the traffic measurement collecting unit is gathered is sent to the traffic measurement processing unit according to predetermined traffic measurement host-host protocol.This TDR output control unit can be integrated in the traffic measurement collecting unit.For the application of IMS system, above-mentioned predetermined traffic measurement host-host protocol can use proprietary protocol, perhaps uses existing protocol such as GTP ' agreement, Diameter etc. as host-host protocol.No matter adopt any agreement, at first need to define the data cell that can embody TDR in detail, format the TDR data cell according to the requirement of agreement then, make the traffic measurement data reach the purpose of TDR output control unit by these agreement carryings to outside traffic measurement processing unit transmission traffic measurement information.For using specific protocol to carry and transmit the business datum of application, there has been the prior art of numerous maturations.Only be that example specifies below with the Diameter.
A kind of method is that Diameter is increased an application, and define AVP (the Attribute-Value Pair of its extended Diameter protocol, property value is to storage format), make the definition of AVP consistent with the needed information unit of traffic measurement, enable to carry TDR information.As everyone knows, Diameter supports multiple application, and each application is discerned by the application identities of Diameter message header.And AVP is used in message bag carrying application data relevant information, is TDR information for traffic measurement is used, and the definition of AVP and expansion can be with reference among the Diameter RFC3588 description being arranged.
Another kind method is that TDR is adopted the Diameter output of chargeing and using, and simultaneously AVP different among the TDR is added among the CDR.Sort out separately data by the traffic measurement processing unit of outside and CCF.Owing to charge to use and there is identical information element in traffic measurement in using, therefore for the TDR acquisition module need define traffic measurement among the CDR, the two kinds of AVP that business all needs that charge, the collection of two kinds of business datums of realization is fused among the CDR; CCF and traffic measurement processing unit need define professional separately (charging, traffic measurement) needed AVP among the CDR, can sort out professional separately needed data according to predefine AVP information separately from CDR.
Provide TDR record buffer module at the TDR output control unit.Temporary transient unavailable or connect when interrupting when the traffic measurement processing unit of outside, the information that buffer module is not successful with interim buffer memory is submitted to the TDR of traffic measurement processing unit.At the TDR that when outside traffic measurement processing unit recovers, submits to again in the buffer module.When reaching predefined threshold values, the quantity of TDR in the buffer module handles accordingly, comprise alarm signal is provided, and when entering higher threshold values with limit service function (as calling out etc.), to guarantee that the TDR data are true and reliable, not lose, and the backup of the business datum of telecommunication apparatus can realize the data backup of TDR buffer module, thereby improves the reliability of system.
The traffic measurement processing unit at first must screen, sort out, merge by session identification the statistics of receiving from the telecommunication apparatus (for example network access equipment, session control equipment etc.) of each type, put out this session in order from being set up to the complete various traffic attribute informations of dispose procedure (comprising data such as the resource of collecting from all kinds of telecommunication apparatus, business, time, region), and identify the telecommunication apparatus of this session and output statistical information uniquely.
In addition, the also responsible traffic measurement data that receive telecommunication apparatus output of traffic measurement processing unit are kept at this locality.Because the traffic measurement data of traffic measurement processing unit record have comprised a service attribute that session is complete, just can be according to the control desk administration order, at the multiple attribute of session (for example resource behaviour in service, service application situation, time period, contents such as domain information) data being carried out business diagnosis handles, be organized into the traffic measurement result, the function such as inquiry, analysis, reporting system of traffic measurement is provided.Operation demand at different provides data processing method flexibly.This module can individualism, also can become one with network management system, charge system, surveillance etc.The traffic measurement processing unit also can be divided into a plurality of modules or network element layering as required, classification realizes different business function (for example traffic classified finishing and business statistics function).For the concrete grammar of handling the traffic measurement data for function such as inquiry that traffic measurement is provided, analysis, reporting system, be that the service management information system realizes the content that need contain specifically customizing according to the operation demand.Because the implementation method of management information system has had mature theory and method.And it is not the problem to be solved in the present invention, therefore repeats no more.
More than the present invention is described in detail, but those of ordinary skill in the art is to be appreciated that, under situation about not departing from the scope of the present invention with spirit, various improvement, interpolation and replacement all are possible, and all in claim of the present invention institute restricted portion.
