在本实施例中, AC 不参与实质的计费数据收集与上报功能, 只作为计费开始与 终止的触发因素, 即 AC上没有 UE的计费策略。 下面分别对计费开始和计费终止的 过程进行介绍。 计费开始的过程具体如下:当 BNG收到来自 AC的第一计费请求消息后,向 AAA 发送第二计费请求消息, BNG开始用户计费。 在 BNG接收到 AC发送的第一计费终 止消息之前, AC接收用户设备发送的下线通知消息, 然后 AC向 BNG发送第一计费 终止消息。优选的, 在 BNG向 AAA发送第二计费请求消息之后, BNG向 AC回复计 费响应消息。 当 AC上不存在 NAPT时, AC向 BNG发送的第一计费请求消息中携带 UE的 IP 地址、和 /或用户标识、和 /或 MAC地址; 当 AC上存在 NAPT时, AC向 BNG发送的 第一计费请求消息中携带 UE的公网 IP地址及端口集、 和 /或用户标识、 和 /或 MAC 地址。 BNG收到 AC发送的第一计费请求消息后, 为 UE生成计费请求消息, 并将第 二计费请求消息发送给 AAA。 当 AC上不存在 NAPT时, 上述第二计费请求消息中携 带 UE的 IP地址、 和 /或用户标识、 禾 Π/或 MAC地址; 当 AC上存在 NAPT时, BNG 发送给 AAA的第二计费请求消息中携带 UE的公网 IP地址及端口集、和 /或用户标识、 和 /或 MAC地址。 在此之后, BNG开始执行计费操作, 具体地, BNG根据计费策略执行计费操作, 负责计费数据的收集, 并向 AAA上报中间计费数据。 在此期间, AC可能会向 BNG 上报中间计费数据,在本实施例中, BNG可以选择忽略 AC上报的中间计费数据。 BNG 执行计费操作所需的计费策略由 AAA下发, 在 AAA下发新的计费策略后, BNG进 行策略更新, 并按照新的计费策略进行计费。 基于此, 本实施例提供了一种优选实施 方式, 即 BNG根据计费策略执行计费操作包括: BNG接收 AAA发送的新的计费策 略, 根据新的计费策略执行计费操作。 这样, BNG可以及时采取最新的计费策略进行 计费操作, 优化了计费流程。 在 BNG接收到 AC发送的第一计费终止消息后, BNG 删除上述计费策略。 计费结束的过程具体如下: AC收到用户设备发送的 EAP下线通知消息后,向 BNG 发送第一计费终止消息。 当 BNG收到来自 AC的第一计费终止消息后, 向 AAA发送 第二计费终止消息, AC发送的第一计费终止消息用于触发停止用户计费。 当 AC上不存在 NAPT时, AC向 BNG发送的第一计费终止消息中携带 UE的 IP 地址、和 /或用户标识、和 /或 MAC地址; 当 AC上存在 NAPT时, AC向 BNG发送的 第一计费终止消息中携带 UE的公网 IP地址及端口集、 和 /或用户标识、 和 /或 MAC
地址。 BNG收到 AC发送的第一计费终止消息后, 为 UE生成计费终止消息, 并将第 二计费终止消息发送给 AAA, 当 AC上不存在 NAPT时, 第二计费终止消息中携带 UE的 IP地址、 和 /或用户标识、 和 /或 MAC地址; 当 AC上存在 NAPT时, BNG发 送给 AAA的第二计费终止消息中携带 UE的公网 IP地址及端口集、 和 /或用户标识、 和 /或 MAC地址。 在计费开始之前, 需要先对用户设备进行认证, 在认证通过后, 再执行后续的计 费操作。 下面分别针对不同的认证过程, 对计费开始流程进行介绍。 图 4是根据本发明实施例的由 BNG分配 IP地址的计费开始流程的流程图, 如图 4所示, 该流程包括以下步骤 (步骤 S402-步骤 S410): 步骤 S402, UE发起动态主机配置协议 (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol, 简 称为 DHCP) DHCPv4地址请求, AC支持 DHCP Relay功能, 将地址请求消息转发给 BNG, BNG支持 DHCP Server功能, 为 UE分配 IPv4地址。 具体地, AC根据地址请求消息中携带的 MAC地址,判断上述 UE是否通过认证, 若通过认证, 则将该地址请求消息转发给 BNG; 或者, AC不对 UE进行认证, 直接 将来自 UE的地址请求消息转发给 BNG,BNG根据地址请求消息中携带的 MAC地址, 判断该 UE是否通过认证, 若通过认证, 则 BNG给 UE分配 IP地址。 步骤 S404, 地址分配成功后, AC发起计费请求消息 (Accounting-Request), 发 送给 BNG, 其中携带 UE的 IP地址、 和 /或用户标识、 和 /或 MAC地址。 步骤 S406, BNG收到 AC发送的计费请求消息后, 为该 UE生成新的计费请求消 息 ( Accounting-Request ) , 发送给 AAA。 步骤 S408, BNG给 AC回复计费响应消息( Accounting-Response )。上述步骤 S406 与步骤 S408的执行时机没有固定的先后顺序。 步骤 S410, AAA给 BNG回复计费响应消息 ( Accounting-Response )。 计费开始。 图 5是根据本发明实施例的一种由 AC分配 IP地址的计费开始流程的流程图, 如 图 5所示, 该流程包括以下步骤 (步骤 S502-步骤 S510): 步骤 S502, UE发起 DHCPv4地址请求, AC支持 DHCP Server功能, 为 UE分配 IPv4地址。
具体地, AC根据地址请求消息中携带的 MAC地址, 判断该 UE是否通过认证, 若通过认证, 则 AC给 UE分配 IP地址。 步骤 S504, 地址分配成功后, AC发起计费请求消息 (Accounting-Request), 发 送给 BNG, 其中, 计费请求消息中携带 UE的 IP地址, 和 /或用户标识、 和 /或 MAC 地址。 步骤 S506, BNG收到 AC发送的计费请求消息后, 为该 UE生成新的计费请求消 息 ( Accounting-Request ) , 发送给 AAA。 步骤 S508, BNG给 AC回复计费响应消息( Accounting-Response )。上述步骤 S506 与步骤 S508的执行时机没有固定的先后顺序。 步骤 S510, AAA给 BNG回复计费响应消息 ( Accounting-Response )。 计费开始。 图 6是根据本发明实施例的另一种由 AC分配 IP地址的计费开始流程的流程图, 如图 6所示, 该流程包括以下步骤 (步骤 S602-步骤 S610): 步骤 S602, UE发起 DHCPv4地址请求, AC支持 DHCP Server功能, 为 UE分配 私网 IPv4地址。 具体地, AC根据地址请求消息中携带的 MAC地址, 判断该 UE是否通过认证, 若通过认证,则给 UE分配私网 IP地址。 AC支持网络地址端口转换(Network Address Port Translation, 简称为 NAPT) 功能, 将分配给 UE的私网地址转换为对应的公网地 址与端口集 (Port Set)。 步骤 S604, 地址分配成功后, AC发起计费请求消息 (Accounting-Request), 发 送给 BNG, 其中, 计费请求消息中携带 UE的公网地址与端口集、 和 /或用户标识、 和 /或 MAC地址; 步骤 S606, BNG收到 AC发送的计费请求消息后, 为该 UE生成新的计费请求消 息 ( Accounting-Request ) , 发送给 AAA。 步骤 S608, BNG给 AC回复计费响应消息( Accounting-Response )。上述步骤 S606 与步骤 S608的执行时机没有固定的先后顺序。 步骤 S610, AAA给 BNG回复计费响应消息 ( Accounting-Response )。 计费开始。
前面对计费开始流传进行了介绍,在对用户进行认证, 并且 BNG接收到 AC发送 的用于触发 BNG执行计费操作的计费请求消息之后, BNG开始执行计费操作。 下面 对 BNG的计费中间流程进行介绍。 图 7是根据本发明实施例的计费中间流程的流程图, 如图 7所示, BNG根据计费 策略向 AAA上报中间计费数据, AAA进行回复。 其中, AC不参与实质的计费数据 收集与上报功能, 只作为计费初始的触发因素, 即 AC上没有 UE的计费策略。 或者, AAA下发新的计费策略, BNG进行策略更新, 并按新的计费策略进行计费。
BNG执行完计费操作之后, 下面对计费终止流程进行介绍, 在计费终止流程中, AC向 BNG发送计费终止消息, 该计费终止消息用于触发 BNG结束计费操作。 图 8 是根据本发明实施例的计费终止流程的流程图,如图 8所示,该流程包括以下步骤(步 骤 S802-步骤 S806):。 步骤 S802, UE发起 EAP_Logoff帧, 通知下线。 步骤 S804, AC向 BNG发送计费终止消息 (Accounting-Stop), 其中, 在 AC存 在 NAPT的场景下,计费终止消息中携带有 UE的公网地址与端口集、和 /或用户标识、 和 /或 MAC地址; 在 AC不存在 NAPT的场景下, 计费终止消息中携带有 UE的 IP地 址、 和 /或用户标识、 和 /或 MAC地址。 步骤 S806, BNG收到来自 AC的计费终止消息 (Accounting-Stop) 后, 为该 UE 生成新的计费终止消息, 发送给 AAA。 计费结束。 对应于上述计费方法, 本实施例还提供了一种计费装置, 该装置一般设置在 BNG 侧, 用于实现上述实施例。 图 9是根据本发明实施例的计费装置的结构框图, 如图 9 所示, 该装置包括: 第一消息处理模块 10和第二消息处理模块 20。 下面对该结构进 行说明。 第一消息处理模块 10,设置为接收到接入控制器 AC发送的第一计费请求消息后, 向认证、 授权和计费服务器 AAA发送第二计费请求消息; 其中, 上述第一计费请求 消息用于触发 BNG执行计费操作; 第二消息处理模块 20, 连接至第一消息处理模块 10, 设置为接收到上述 AC发送 的第一计费终止消息后, 向上述 AAA发送第二计费终止消息; 其中, 上述第一计费 终止消息用于触发 BNG停止计费操作。
通过上述装置, AC只作为计费开始与终止的触发因素, 第一消息处理模块 10接 收 AC发送的第一计费请求消息后, 向 AAA发送第二计费请求消息;第二消息处理模 块 20接收到上述 AC发送的第一计费终止消息后, 向上述 AAA发送第二计费终止消 息; 其中, 上述第一计费请求消息用于触发上述 BNG执行计费操作; 上述第一计费 终止消息用于触发上述 BNG停止计费操作, 解决了相关技术中的计费操作中, AC与 BNG的功能分割尚未明确的问题, 从而实现了计费操作中 AC与 BNG的功能分割明 确, 进而明确了计费操作流程, 提高了计费效率。 在本实施例中, AC 不参与实质的计费数据收集与上报功能, 只作为计费开始与 终止的触发因素, 即 AC上没有 UE的计费策略。 下面分别对计费开始和计费终止的 过程进行介绍。 前面已经对计费开始和计费终止的过程进行了介绍, 在此不再赘述。 对应于前面 介绍的计费开始和计费终止的过程,本实施例提供了一种优选实施方式, 图 10是根据 本发明实施例的计费装置的第一种具体结构框图, 如图 10所示, 上述装置除了包括图 9中所示的各个模块之外, 还包括: 计费响应消息发送模块 30, 连接至第一消息处理 模块 10, 设置为向上述 AC发送计费响应消息。 图 11是根据本发明实施例的计费装置的第二种具体结构框图, 如图 11所示, 上 述装置除了包括图 10中所示的各个模块之外, 还包括: 计费模块 40, 连接至计费响 应消息发送模块 30, 设置为根据计费策略执行计费操作; 数据上报模块 50, 连接至计 费模块 40, 设置为向上述 AAA上报中间计费数据。 对于 BNG 的计费操作流程, 前面也进行了介绍, 本实施例提供了一种优选实施 方式, 上述计费模块 40包括: 计费单元, 设置为接收上述 AAA发送的新的计费策略, 根据上述新的计费策略执行计费操作。 上述装置还包括: 删除模块, 设置为删除上述 计费策略。 当上述 AC上不存在 NAPT时, 上述第一计费请求消息或上述第二计费请求消息 中携带有用户设备的互联网协议 IP地址、 和 /或用户标识、 和 /或媒体接入控制 MAC 地址; 当上述 AC上存在上述 NAPT时, 上述第一计费请求消息或上述第二计费请求 消息中携带有上述用户设备的公网 IP地址及端口集、 和 /或上述用户标识、 和 /或上述 MAC地址。 当上述 AC上不存在 NAPT时, 上述第一计费终止消息或上述第二计费终止消息 中携带有用户设备的 IP地址、 和 /或用户标识、 和 /或 MAC地址; 当上述 AC上存在
上述 NAPT时, 上述第一计费终止消息或上述第二计费终止消息中携带有上述用户设 备的公网 IP地址及端口集、 和 /或上述用户标识、 和 /或上述 MAC地址。 从以上的描述中可以看出, 在本发明中, AC 不参与实质的计费数据收集与上报 功能, 只作为计费开始与终止的触发因素。 在计费开始时, AC向 BNG发送计费请求 消息, 用以触发 BNG执行计费操作, 然后 BNG开始执行计费操作, AC再向 BNG发 送计费终止消息, 用以触发 BNG结束计费操作。 从而实现了计费操作中 AC与 BNG 的功能分割明确, 进而明确了计费操作流程, 提高了计费效率。 显然, 本领域的技术人员应该明白, 上述的本发明的各模块或各步骤可以用通用 的计算装置来实现, 它们可以集中在单个的计算装置上, 或者分布在多个计算装置所 组成的网络上, 可选地, 它们可以用计算装置可执行的程序代码来实现, 从而, 可以 将它们存储在存储装置中由计算装置来执行, 并且在某些情况下, 可以以不同于此处 的顺序执行所示出或描述的步骤, 或者将它们分别制作成各个集成电路模块, 或者将 它们中的多个模块或步骤制作成单个集成电路模块来实现。 这样, 本发明不限制于任 何特定的硬件和软件结合。 以上所述仅为本发明的优选实施例而已, 并不用于限制本发明, 对于本领域的技 术人员来说, 本发明可以有各种更改和变化。 凡在本发明的精神和原则之内, 所作的 任何修改、 等同替换、 改进等, 均应包含在本发明的保护范围之内。
