随着通信网络技术的日益发展, 多运营商或多公共陆地移动网络(Public Land Mobile Network, PLMN) 可为用户提供多种业务。 为了节省成本, 对 于多运营商或多业务往往会使用网络共享技术。
网络共享包括网元共享和频谱共享两种情况。
网元共享是指不同运营商或不同 PLMN对某一或某些网元进行共享。 如 运营商 A与运营商 B共享一个接入网元 M。不同的用户设备(User Equipment, UE) 通过接入网元 M, 可以同时接受运营商 A和运营商 B的服务。
频谱共享是指不同的运营商或不同 PLMN共享一段或多段频谱。 如, 运 营商 A在某些区域的接入网元, 由于频谱有限, 所能提供的带宽不能满足用 户需求, 为增加该区域接入网元的服务容量或质量, 运营商 A向运营商 B租 借一部分频谱。
上述网元共享中 UE占用的接入网元的资源及频谱共享中 UE所占用的频 谱都属于网络共享资源。 由于网络共享中涉及的网络资源或者网元的负载能 力均存在一定的限制, 因而在多运营商共享的网络中或多个 PLMN中, 不可 避免的存在运营商或 PLMN无法对 UE进行计费的问题。

上述数据按接入该接入网元 M的 UE归属的运营商或 PLMN, 或按为接 入该接入网元 M的 UE提供服务的运营商或 PLMN的统计,若运营商或 PLMN 对接入网元 M的资源占用超出份额限制, 进一步, 记录计费数据还包括: 记 录超出份额限制的具体数量或超出比率。
另外, 该接入网元 M可以上报该接入网元 M的标识或位置, 可包括以 下至少一项: eNB/ RNC的 ID、 地理位置、 行政区域编号等。
另外,该接入网元 M还可以上报服务或运营商或 PLMN相关的数据,可 包括以下至少一项: 与上述资源占用数据对应的相应服务会话标识, 提供服 务的运营商标识或 PLMN标识, 或 UE标识。
另外, 该接入网元 M还可以上报其它相关的计费数据, 如与核心网计费 系统相同的计费标识(Charging ID), 可利用该计费标识, 关联为用户提供的 上层服务, 以实现物理层传输与高层业务的关联计费。
共享情况下, 不同运营商或 PLMN之间, 可能存在相同的计费标识, 可 利用上述运营商标识, 或 PLMN ID, 或 UE标识等与计费标准组合, 在接入 网元上就可区分出那些可能相同的计费标识。
计费时, 该接入网元 M可将上述资源占用情况直接上报核心网中的计费 系统, 或经由核心网网元处理, 再上报计费系统。
当该接入网元 M将上述资源占用情况直接上报计费系统时, 参见图 4。 如果接入网元 M是接入网网元, 则该接入网元 M需要与计费系统之间
直接建立计费接口, 如 Ga/Rf/Ro 接口, 以便计费系统 A、 计费系统 B分别 直接从接入网元 M获得运营商 A、运营商 B对接入网元 M的资源占用情况。
接入网元 M与各共享运营商的计费系统之间建立计费接口连接如图 4所 示, 本实例中, 接入网元 M分别与计费系统八、 计费系统 B之间建立计费接 口连接, 以分别向计费系统 A、 计费系统 B上报各自运营商或 PLMN对接入 网元 M的资源占用情况。 假设计费系统 A归属于运营商 A, 计费系统 B归 属于运营商 B,则接入网元 M将获得的运营商 A的资源占用情况上报给计费 系统 A, 将获得的运营商 B的资源占用情况上报给计费系统 B; 也可以由接 入网元将所有共享方运营商对资源的占用情况上报所有运营商, 各运营可将 此作为计费或对帐用的数据。
另外, 为完成计费, 还可以在接入网元 M上设置计费触发器 (CTF), 触发器可以是基于上述资源占用情况的门限, 也可以是指定事件。 计费触发 器通过计费系统,例如,策略计费规则功能(PolicyandChargingRulesFunction, PCRF) 系统或网管对网元进行设置。
当接入网元 M获得的各运营商或 PLMN对接入网元 M资源的占用情况 满足计费触发器的触发条件时, 比如当某个资源占用情况满足相应的门限时, 或当某个指定的计费事件发生时, 计费触发器触发接入网元 M将各运营商或 PLMN对接入网元 M资源的占用情况通过计费接口上报到计费系统。
进一步, 接入网元 M 还可接收计费系统产生的计费标识 (Charging Identity, 以下简称为计费 ID), 将接收的计费 ID关联到获得的相关的运营商 或 PLMN对网络资源的占用情况。
例如,计费系统 A、计费系统 B根据接入网元 M中的计费触发器的触发, 产生计费 ID, 并将产生的计费 ID发送给接入网元 M, 接入网元 M将接收的 计费 ID分别关联到运营商或 PLMN A、运营商或 PLMN B对应的资源占用数 据里。
当接入网元 M上报的运营商 A或 PLMN A、 运营商 B或 PLMN B对接 入网元 M资源的占用情况中, 有超出份额的资源占用, 计费系统对超出份额 部分的资源占用, 依据运营商或 PLMN A、 运营商或 PLMN B预先商定的新 费率或新的计费策略执行计费。计费系统计费时依据接入网元 M上保存的运 营商 A或 PLMN A、运营商 B或 PLMN B的资源占用情况, 对超出份额的部
分执行特殊费率。 其中, 新费率或新的计费策略可由网络管理系统 (NMS) 或计费系统向接入网元或接入网元相连的核心网网元进行配置。
当该接入网元 M将上述资源占用情况经由核心网网元处理, 再上报计费 系统时, 参见图 5。
该接入网元 M不直接触发计费事件,而是将按运营商或 PLMN对资源的 占用情况的统计数据, 分别上报对应的运营商或 PLMN的核心网网元, 由相 应的核心网网元间接实现针对接入网元 M 的计费。 相关的核心网网元可为 MME、 S-GW、 SGSN、 GGSN、 或 MSC等。 具体地, 接入网元 M通过 Sl/Iu 接口, 分别向核心网 A、 核心网 B上报各自的运营商或 PLMN A、 运营商或 PLMN B的部分或全部资源占用情况。 如将运营商或 PLMN A的资源占用情 况上报给运营商或 PLMN A的核心网 A的网元,将运营商或 PLMN B的资源 占用情况上报给运营商或 PLMN B的核心网 B的网元。
核心网 A、 核心网 B的网元上, 可增加针对前述数据的门限或事件作为 计费触发器,在核心网网元的计费触发器触发计费后,计费系统产生计费 ID, 并将计费 ID下发到核心网网元,以用于关联接入网元上报给核心网网元的资 源占用情况。 通过计费 ID、 UE标识、 PLMN ID或运营商标识, 与核心网网 元产生的计费数据关联, 构成对每个 UE及其服务运营商或 PLMN的关联计 费数据。 核心网网元的计费触发器可由 PCRF 或运营商的网络管理系统 (NMS ) 进行设置。
类似地, 计费系统对超出份额的部分的计费, 依据运营商或 PLMN A、 运营商或 PLMN B预先商定的新费率或新的计费策略执行计费, 计费对帐使 用接入网元 M上保存的运营商或 PLMN A、运营商或 PLMN B的资源占用情 况。 超出份额的部分的数据能来自于接入网元、 应用服务器、 核心网网元、 UE自测量等。 新费率或新的计费策略可由 NMS或 PCRF向接入网元或接入 网元相连的核心网网元进行配置。
图 6为本发明另一实施例提供的网络共享的管理方法的网元共享应用示 意图。 本发明提供的另一个实施例与上述实施例类似, 不同之处在于, 本实 施例中, 没有进行网元共享, 而是进行了频谱共享。 本实施例以频谱 1、 频 谱 2、 及运营商 、 运营商 B为例, 对频谱共享的计费做进一步详细的说明。
图 6中, NMS/PCRF上部署有频谱共享的计费规则或计费策略, 如部署
有运营商 A的网元 (包括 CN和 /或 RAN网元) 配置频谱使用的额度, 频谱 使用超额情况的费率策略; 运营商 A 的运营管理维护 (Operation, Administration and Maintenance, OAM) 或计费系统可根据 NMS/PCRF部署 的计费规则或计费策略对频谱共享进行计费。
运营商 A的接入网网元(RAN)可使用运营商 B的频谱 2, 运营商 A可 识别或指定 UE使用的频谱信息, 和 /或频谱使用情况; UE可支持载波聚合 (Carrier Aggregation, CA) 或分配频谱 (频点识别)。
区域 A只有运营商 A布署了网络, 使用频谱 1, 运营商 B在该区域拥有 频谱 2。 运营商 A可能在区域 A的频谱不够使用, 需要向运营商 B租用频谱 2。 当运营商 A租用频谱 2时, 频谱 2成为共享频谱, 运营商 A成为网络共 享者, 具体使用费用需按 UE接入时, 运营商 A对频谱 2的占用情况进行计 对于运营商 A的 UE接入并使用频谱 2的情况, 可通过获得承载 UE信 令及用户数据的频谱信息、 与该频谱信息对应的数据中的至少一项来得到。
其中, 频谱信息在运营商 A的 UE接入网络时获得, 这是因为 UE接入 网络, 便确定了使用的频谱, 因此, 也就得到了频谱信息。
频谱信息包括: 频谱编号, 或具体频谱中心与频谱带宽, 或频谱用于上 行链路还是下行链路或广播。
与该频谱信息对应的数据为以下至少一类数据:
a)UE的接入优先级, 和 /或 UE的业务优先级信息或类型信息;
b) UE建立的会话时长, 或 UE会话占用的数据流量;
c)服务于 UE的事件或消息次数, 和 /或所述事件或消息的服务类型、 服 务优先级;
d) UE使用了哪些上层业务, 以及这些业务的具体使用信息, 业务的具体 信息, 可包括业务时长、 业务类型、 业务流量、 优先级中的至少一项。
如果 UE与网络均支持载波聚合 (Carrier Aggregation, CA), 则该 UE可 以同时使用多个共享频谱, 需要获得 UE所使用的多个共享频谱的频谱信息, 与各个共享频谱的频谱信息分别对应的数据中的至少一项。 与各个共享频谱 的频谱信息分别对应的数据为上述 a) ~d) 类中的至少一类数据。
进一步, 上述 d)类数据与 e)类数据需要关联使用的频谱与业务, 以便运
营商可以评估用户业务质量与共享频谱的关系, 或统计共享频谱对运营商业 务服务的价值, 从而体现到计费中。
当存在 M个运营商或 PLMN, 共享 N个频谱 (M≠N) 时, 为评估不同 运营商的不同共享频谱对于服务质量的贡献, 或进行网间结算, 还可以: 将 共享频谱的运营商或 PLMN的标识与对应的频谱进行关联或映射, 建立不同 共享频谱标识与运营商或 PLMN的关系。 这样, 通过关联的频谱标识, 可以 将上述占用情况的数据关联到对应的运营商或 PLMN, 实现对多运营商的共 享频谱计费, 或实现网间结算。
由于频谱使用信息只能在接入网(RAN)侧网元(例如, UE所接入的接 入网元) 获得, 因此上述频谱信息可由运营商 A的 RAN网元获得。 RAN侧 网元可以获得用户具体使用共享频谱的情况。
核心网 (CN) 侧网元, 例如, 上述核心网设备可以统计 UE业务数据如 上述 d) 类数据, 并执行上述关联操作。
向计费系统上报运营商 B的对共享频谱的占用情况时, RAN侧网元可以 直接开放计费接口与运营商 A的计费系统连接; 相应的, 在 RAN侧网元可 预置计费触发器, 在上述数据满足计费触发器的触发条件后, 将运营商 B对 共享频谱的占用情况上报给运营商 A的计费系统。
由于运营商 A的计费系统与频谱共享者 (运营商 B) 的计费系统之间有 网间计费接口 Bp, 因此, 可由运营商 A的计费系统将运营商 B的对共享频 谱的占用情况上报到运营商 B的计费系统进行计费对账等。
或者, RAN网元或 CN网元也可以与共享者运营商 B的计费系统之间直 接开放计费接口,将上述占用情况的数据上报到共享者运营商 B的计费系统, 以进行计费、 对帐等操作。
运营商级网管 (NMS ) 或计费系统 (例如, 计费策略服务器 (PCRF) ) 可以预置共享频谱的计费策略,预置对象可为 CN网元或 RAN网元或二者皆 有。 例如, 设置 CN网元或 RAN网元对非拥有频谱的运营商, 按费率 XX计 算费用, 按时段或按事件数量计算费用; 或者例如, 设置 CN网元或 RAN网 元对某个时段 YY的执行费率为 XX; 或者例如, 设置 CN网元或 RAN网元 对使用频谱 1的费率为 XX, 使用频谱 2的费率为 YY等。
计费系统完成计费后, 由运营商 A与运营商 B进行费用结算。
进一步, 对于共享频谱的使用, 可以预置份额, 即运营商对应的共享频 谱的使用可以进行限制。
其中, 预置的份额可以为如下形式之一或组合: 某个频谱对应的使用时 长限制,或流量限制,或 UE使用次数限制,或使用该频谱的 UE数量限制(同 时使用或一段时间内使用累加), 带宽限制。
CN网元或 RAN网元可以统计超出份额的比例,或超出份额的具体数量, 以此作为计费的基础之一。
对于接入网元应用场景中超出份额的部分, 需要按预置的新的计费策略 执行计费, 该新的计费策略可由 NMS或 PCRF对网元进行配置。
本发明上述实施例通过对接入接入网元的 UE归属的运营商或 PLMN、 接入的网络的运营商或 PLMN或源网络的运营商或 PLMN进行区分,并按运 营商或 PLMN分别获得各运营商或 PLMN对网络共享资源占用情况,解决了 多运营商或 PLMN接入网元场景下,无法按多个运营商或 PLMN区分计费的 问题。 更进一步, 在共享接入网网元上实现计费触发, 使上述区分共享资源 计费成为可能。 本发明实施例还给出了通过获得并上报超出份额的接入网元 的资源占用情况, 解决了频谱共享场景下的按频谱使用计费的问题, 尤其对 于 CA等难以区分频谱使用情况的场景, 提出新的计费架构, 实现区分计费。
进一步, 对于共享频谱与上层业务进行关联, 实现了另一种管理方法, 使得计费更加灵活。 进一步, 本发明实施例还给出了通过获得并上报超出份 额的共享资源占用情况, 解决了不能按份额计费, 对于超出份额的部分, 无 法进行超额计费的问题。 本发明实施例对超额部分的管理方法, 实现了对预 订资源外的其它共享资源占用时, 更好地保护了服务提供者的权益。
