本发明涉及一种通信技术领域，特别涉及一种本地路由业务的计费方法、装置及网络系统。The invention relates to the technical field of communication, in particular to a charging method, device and network system for local routing services.
背景技术Background technique
在微波接入全球互通(Worldwide Interoperability for MicrowaveAccess，WiMAX)网络中，当终端与外部网络通信时，终端发送的上行报文，经过基站传递到服务网关，再由服务网关传递到锚定接入网关，最后经过家乡代理(Home Agent，HA)传送到外部网络中。而下行报文则经过反方向的承载路径路由到终端上。In the Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access (WiMAX) network, when the terminal communicates with the external network, the uplink message sent by the terminal is transmitted to the service gateway through the base station, and then transmitted to the anchor access gateway by the service gateway , and finally transmitted to the external network through the home agent (Home Agent, HA). The downlink message is routed to the terminal through the bearer path in the opposite direction.
WiMAX网络架构示意图如图1所示，Accounting Agent(计费代理)位于锚定接入网关(Anchor GW)处，由计费代理根据用户的业务流传输进行计费统计，比如统计业务流的上下行流量，业务报文数等等。然后计费代理将计费统计信息定期通过R4接口发送给计费客户端，计费客户端将计费统计信息通知验证、授权和计费(Authentication、Authorization、Accounting)AAA服务器，以便实现对用户的业务流的计费，其中，图1中的实线为业务流传输路径，图1中的虚线为计费统计信息传输路径。The schematic diagram of the WiMAX network architecture is shown in Figure 1. The Accounting Agent (billing agent) is located at the anchor access gateway (Anchor GW). Line traffic, number of service packets, etc. Then the billing agent sends the billing statistical information to the billing client regularly through the R4 interface, and the billing client notifies the verification, authorization, and accounting (Authentication, Authorization, Accounting) AAA server of the billing statistical information, so as to realize the The charging of the service flow, wherein, the solid line in Fig. 1 is the service flow transmission path, and the dotted line in Fig. 1 is the charging statistics information transmission path.
当需要彼此通信的两个终端位于同一个服务网关下，如图2所述，服务网关通过本地路由技术可以将源终端发出的报文直接发送到目的终端(如图2中粗实线所示)，从而达到减少报文传输时延、降低核心网传输负载的目的。图2中的本地路由是在服务网关处进行的。同样，当两个用户在同一个基站下或同一个锚定接入网关(Anchor GW)下时，本地路由也可以在基站或锚定接入网关处实现。When two terminals that need to communicate with each other are located under the same service gateway, as shown in Figure 2, the service gateway can directly send the message sent by the source terminal to the destination terminal through local routing technology (as shown by the thick solid line in Figure 2 ), so as to achieve the purpose of reducing the message transmission delay and reducing the transmission load of the core network. The local routing in Figure 2 is performed at the serving gateway. Similarly, when two users are under the same base station or the same anchor access gateway (Anchor GW), local routing can also be implemented at the base station or anchor access gateway.
对于本地路由的业务流，运营商同样需要进行计费。同时，与普通业务流相比，本地路由的业务流计费可能采用不同的计费模型或费率。For the service flow of the local route, the operator also needs to perform charging. At the same time, compared with ordinary service flows, the service flow charging of local routes may adopt different charging models or rates.
现有技术具有如下缺点：Prior art has following shortcoming:
现有技术中，由位于锚定接入网关的计费代理Accounting Agent对用户业务流进行计费信息统计。当用户的某些业务流在服务网关或基站处发生了本地路由时，由于这部分业务流报文不再经过锚定接入网关，现有的计费架构无法对该部分业务流进行计费信息统计，因而会导致无法对本地路由业务进行计费。In the prior art, the Accounting Agent located at the anchor access gateway performs statistics on the accounting information of the user service flow. When some service flows of the user are routed locally at the serving gateway or base station, the existing billing architecture cannot charge for this part of the service flow because the packets of this part of the service flow no longer pass through the anchor access gateway. As a result, the local routing service cannot be billed.

具体实施方式Detailed ways
参阅图3，本发明实施例提供一种本地路由业务的计费方法，该方法包括：Referring to Fig. 3, an embodiment of the present invention provides a charging method for a local routing service, the method comprising:
301、本地路由执行实体对用户本地路由的业务流的计费相关信息进行统计，得到第一计费统计信息。301. The local routing execution entity collects statistics on the charging-related information of service flows of the user's local routing to obtain first charging statistical information.
其中，本地路由执行实体是指网络中执行业务流本地转发的网络实体，其可以位于WiMAX网络中的服务网关或基站或锚定接入网关中，也可以位于第三代合作伙伴计划(3rd Generation Partnership Project，3GPP)网络中的GPRS服务支持节点(Serving GPRS Support Node，SGSN)、服务网关、NodeB或演进型Node B(eNodeB)中。Among them, the local routing execution entity refers to the network entity that executes the local forwarding of service flows in the network, which can be located in the serving gateway or base station or anchor access gateway in the WiMAX network, or in the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3rd Generation Partnership Project) Partnership Project, 3GPP) in the GPRS Serving Support Node (Serving GPRS Support Node, SGSN), Serving Gateway, NodeB or Evolved Node B (eNodeB) in the network.
其中，所述第一计费统计信息包括对用户本地路由的业务流的计费相关信息的统计结果，可选地其还包括本地路由指示或者计费标识，可选的，其还可以包括本地路由的业务流的ID；其中，对用户本地路由的业务流的计费相关信息的统计结果包括：用户本地路由的业务流的上行字节数和/或用户本地路由的业务流的下行字节数；或者，对用户本地路由的业务流的计费相关信息的统计结果包括：用户本地路由的业务流的上行报文数，和/或，用户本地路由的业务流的下行报文数，或者，对用户本地路由的业务流的计费相关信息的统计结果还可以包括：用户在本地路由进行的会话的持续时间。Wherein, the first charging statistical information includes the statistical results of charging-related information of the service flow of the user's local route. Optionally, it also includes a local routing indication or charging identifier. Optionally, it may also include a local The ID of the service flow of the route; wherein, the statistical results of the charging-related information of the service flow of the user's local route include: the number of upstream bytes of the service flow of the user's local route and/or the downstream bytes of the service flow of the user's local route or, the statistical results of the charging-related information of the service flow of the user's local route include: the number of uplink packets of the service flow of the user's local route, and/or the number of downlink packets of the service flow of the user's local route, or The statistical result of the charging-related information of the service flow of the user's local route may further include: the duration of the session conducted by the user on the local route.
当所述用户当前有非本地路由的业务流时，此时所述本地路由执行实体还可以对用户非本地路由的业务流的计费相关信息进行统计，得到第二计费统计信息；所述第二计费统计信息包括：对用户非本地路由的业务流的计费相关信息的统计结果，可选地其还包括非本地路由指示。其中，对用户非本地路由的业务流的计费相关信息的统计结果包括：用户非本地路由的业务流的上行字节数和/或用户非本地路由的业务流的下行字节数；或者，对用户非本地路由的业务流的计费相关信息的统计结果包括：用户非本地路由的业务流的上行报文数，和/或，用户非本地路由的业务流的下行报文数，或者，对用户非本地路由的业务流的计费相关信息的统计结果还可以包括：用户在非本地路由进行的会话的持续时间和计费延迟时间，计费延迟时间是指本地路由执行实体的计费时间点与发送第一计费统计信息的时间差，这样后续计费服务器收到第一计费统计信息之后就可以根据该计费延迟时间知道此次计费的时间点了。When the user currently has a non-locally routed service flow, the local routing execution entity may also perform statistics on the charging-related information of the user's non-locally routed service flow to obtain second charging statistical information; The second charging statistical information includes: a statistical result of charging-related information on the service flow of the user's non-local route, and optionally, it also includes a non-local routing indication. Wherein, the statistical results of the charging-related information of the user's non-locally routed service flow include: the number of uplink bytes of the user's non-locally routed service flow and/or the number of downlink bytes of the user's non-locally routed service flow; or, The statistical results of the charging-related information of the user's non-locally routed service flow include: the number of uplink packets of the user's non-locally routed service flow, and/or the number of downlink packets of the user's non-locally routed service flow, or, The statistical results of the charging-related information of the service flow of the user's non-local route may also include: the duration of the session conducted by the user on the non-local route and the charging delay time. The charging delay time refers to the charging of the local routing execution entity The time point is different from the time when the first charging statistical information is sent, so that the subsequent charging server can know the time point of this charging according to the charging delay time after receiving the first charging statistical information.
其中，所述第一计费统计信息可以包括对用户的一个或多个本地路由业务流的计费相关信息的统计结果，当第一计费统计信息包括多个本地路由业务流的计费相关信息的统计结果时，该第一计费统计信息需要包括本地路由的业务流的ID。这样，如果不同的业务流有不同的资费标准，则计费服务器收到第一计费统计信息之后，根据各业务流的ID和对相应业务流的计费相关信息的统计结果，对各业务流进行计费。同理，所述第二计费统计信息可以包括对用户的一个或多个非本地路由业务流的计费相关信息的统计结果，当第二计费统计信息包括多个非本地路由业务流的计费相关信息的统计结果时，该第二计费统计信息需要包括非本地路由业务流的ID。Wherein, the first charging statistical information may include statistical results of charging related information of one or more local routing service flows of the user, when the first charging statistical information includes charging related information of multiple local routing service flows When the statistical result of the information is collected, the first charging statistical information needs to include the ID of the service flow of the local route. In this way, if different service flows have different charging standards, after the charging server receives the first charging statistical information, according to the ID of each service flow and the statistical results of the charging-related information of the corresponding service flow, calculate the The flow is billed. Similarly, the second charging statistical information may include statistical results of charging-related information on one or more non-local routed service flows of the user, when the second charging statistical information includes multiple non-local routed service flows When the statistical result of the charging-related information is collected, the second charging statistical information needs to include the ID of the non-local routing service flow.
这样后续可以由该本地路由执行实体上报针对该用户的第一计费统计信息和第二计费统计信息，不需要锚定接入网关中的计费代理或者3GPP网络中分组数据网网关(Packet Data Network Gateway，PDN-GW)再对该用户的本地路由业务流的计费相关信息进行统计。In this way, the first charging statistical information and the second charging statistical information for the user can be reported by the local routing execution entity subsequently, without anchoring the charging proxy in the access gateway or the packet data network gateway (Packet data network gateway) in the 3GPP network. Data Network Gateway, PDN-GW) then collects statistics on the charging-related information of the user's local routing service flow.
302、发送第一计费统计信息，使计费服务器根据所述第一计费统计信息对本地路由的业务流进行计费。302. Send the first charging statistical information, so that the charging server charges the service flow of the local route according to the first charging statistical information.
如上所述，当所述用户当前有非本地路由的业务流时，所述本地路由执行实体还可以对用户非本地路由的业务流的计费相关信息进行统计，得到第二计费统计信息，则该步骤中本地路由执行实体也会发送第二计费统计信息。其中，本地路由执行实体可以通过一个计费信息更新请求消息发送第一计费统计信息和第二计费统计信息。As described above, when the user currently has a non-locally routed service flow, the local routing execution entity may also collect statistics on the charging-related information of the user's non-locally routed service flow to obtain second charging statistical information, Then in this step, the local routing execution entity will also send the second charging statistics information. Wherein, the local routing execution entity may send the first charging statistical information and the second charging statistical information through a charging information update request message.
可选的，在步骤301之前，本地路由执行实体获取计费上下文信息，其中，在WiMAX网络中，计费上下文信息可以包括上报时间间隔，剩余上报时间等，具体参见后续实施例的详细描述。该步骤中本地路由执行实体具体根据所述计费上下文信息，发送包括第一计费统计信息和第二计费统计信息的计费信息更新请求消息。具体的，本地路由执行实体可以直接向计费服务器发送计费信息更新请求消息；或者，本地路由执行实体通过计费代理向计费服务器发送计费信息更新请求消息；或者，本地路由执行实体通过计费客户端向计费服务器发送计费信息更新请求消息。在3GPP网络中，计费上下文信息包括计费服务器地址和本地路由的业务流对应的计费标识等，则该步骤中本地路由执行实体根据所述计费服务器地址，向计费服务器发送第一计费统计信息，第一计费统计信息包括：所述计费标识和对用户本地路由的业务流的计费相关信息的统计结果，其中计费标识用于表示该本地路由的业务流的计费模型，后续计费服务器根据计费标识，就可以知道采用什么费率对该业务流进行计费了。对于3GPP网络中，第一计费统计信息还可以包括本地路由指示。Optionally, before
其中，计费服务器指网络中负责对用户进行计费的网络实体，该计费服务器根据计费统计信息，知道用户使用了多少业务流，进而对用户进行计费。计费服务器可以是WiMAX网络中的AAA服务器，3GPP网络中的离线计费系统(Offline Charging System，OFCS)或计费网关功能实体(Charging GatewayFunctionality，CGF)等。在WiMAX网络中，计费服务器按照预设规则和本地路由执行实体对用户业务流的计费相关信息的统计结果，对本地路由业务流和非本地路由业务流采用不同的费率进行计费。预设规则规定了对本地路由业务流、非本地路由业务流所采用的费率等信息。在3GPP网络中，计费服务器根据计费统计信息中的计费标识和本地路由执行实体对用户业务流的计费相关信息的统计结果，采用相应的费率对业务流进行计费。Wherein, the billing server refers to a network entity responsible for billing users in the network, and the billing server knows how many service streams a user has used according to billing statistical information, and then bills the user. The charging server may be an AAA server in the WiMAX network, an offline charging system (Offline Charging System, OFCS) or a charging gateway functional entity (Charging Gateway Functionality, CGF) in the 3GPP network, etc. In the WiMAX network, the charging server uses different charging rates for the local routing service flow and the non-local routing service flow according to the preset rules and the statistical results of the charging related information of the user service flow by the local routing execution entity. The preset rules stipulate information such as rates adopted for local routed service flows and non-local routed service flows. In the 3GPP network, the charging server uses the corresponding charging rate to charge the service flow according to the charging identifier in the charging statistics information and the statistical result of the charging related information of the user service flow by the local routing execution entity.
本发明实施例采用本地路由执行实体对本地路由业务流的计费相关信息进行统计，并通知计费服务器，使计费服务器能够对本地路由的业务流进行计费。In the embodiment of the present invention, the local routing execution entity is used to collect statistics on the charging-related information of the local routing service flow, and notify the charging server, so that the charging server can charge the local routing service flow.
参阅图4，本发明另一实施例提供一种本地路由业务的计费方法，该方法适用于wimax网络，该方法具体包括：Referring to Fig. 4, another embodiment of the present invention provides a kind of billing method of local route service, and this method is applicable to wimax network, and this method specifically comprises:
401、当用户的一个或者多个业务流需要发生本地路由时，计费代理向本地路由执行实体发送计费上下文传递请求消息，该消息中包括用户的计费上下文信息。401. When one or more service flows of the user need to be routed locally, the charging proxy sends a charging context transfer request message to the local routing execution entity, where the message includes charging context information of the user.
其中，该计费上下文传递请求消息可以是路径注册应答消息Path_Reg_Rsp。Wherein, the charging context transfer request message may be a path registration response message Path_Reg_Rsp.
该用户的计费上下文信息包括：上报时间间隔、剩余上报时间等。其中，上报时间间隔表示每隔多少时间上报一次计费统计信息。剩余上报时间为距离下一次上报计费信息更新请求消息的时间，即表示本地路由执行实体收到计费上下文信息后，初次上报计费信息更新请求消息的时间。比如上报时间间隔为30s，由于可能在执行本地路由之前，该终端一直和外网中的终端进行通信，所以计费代理一直对终端传向外网的业务流的计费相关信息进行统计，比如统计该业务流的流量等，可能在上一次向计费服务器上报计费信息更新请求消息的20s后，该用户有执行本地路由的业务流，此时的剩余上报时间即为10s，表示本地路由执行实体10s后初次上报携带计费统计信息的计费信息更新请求消息，以后就按照30s的时间间隔进行上报。The charging context information of the user includes: reporting time interval, remaining reporting time, and the like. Wherein, the reporting interval indicates how often the charging statistics information is reported. The remaining reporting time is the time until the next reporting of the charging information updating request message, that is, the time when the local routing execution entity reports the charging information updating request message for the first time after receiving the charging context information. For example, the reporting interval is 30s. Since the terminal may have been communicating with the terminal in the external network before local routing is executed, the billing agent has been collecting statistics on the charging-related information of the service flow transmitted from the terminal to the external network, such as To count the traffic of this service flow, etc., it may be 20s after reporting the charging information update request message to the accounting server last time, the user has a service flow that executes local routing, and the remaining reporting time at this time is 10s, indicating that the local routing The executing entity reports the charging information update request message carrying the charging statistical information for the first time after 10s, and then reports at intervals of 30s.
其中，计费代理检测本地路由的方法可以通过现有技术实现，如通过对业务流的目的IP地址进行判断，或通过接收到对该业务流本地路由的成功授权指示等进行判断，不影响本发明的实现。Among them, the method for the billing agent to detect the local route can be realized by existing technologies, such as by judging the destination IP address of the service flow, or by receiving a successful authorization indication for the local route of the service flow, etc., without affecting the realization of the invention.
402、本地路由执行实体接收到计费上下文传递请求消息后，开始对用户的业务流的计费相关信息进行统计。402. After receiving the charging context transfer request message, the local routing execution entity starts to collect statistics on the charging-related information of the service flow of the user.
具体的，当用户有非本地路由业务流时，该步骤中，本地路由执行实体可以仅对用户的本地路由业务流的计费相关信息进行统计，得到第一计费统计信息，对用户的非本地路由业务流不进行统计，该用户的非本地路由业务流还是由计费代理进行计费相关信息的统计；或者，本地路由执行实体不仅对用户的本地路由业务流的计费相关信息进行统计，得到第一计费统计信息，还对用户的非本地路由业务流的计费相关信息进行统计，得到第二计费统计信息，这样就不需要计费代理再对该用户的非本地路由业务流的计费相关信息进行统计了。其中，第一计费统计信息包括：对用户的本地路由业务流的计费相关信息的统计结果，可选的，其还可以包括本地路由指示，其还可以包括本地路由的业务流的ID。其中，第二计费统计信息包括：对用户的非本地路由业务流的计费相关信息的统计结果，可选的，其还可以包括非本地路由指示，其还可以包括非本地路由的业务流的ID。需要说明的是，如果本地路由执行实体对用户的本地路由业务流和非本地路由业务流的计费相关信息都进行统计了，则第一计费统计信息中一定包括本地路由指示，第二计费统计信息中一定包括非本地路由指示。Specifically, when the user has a non-local routing service flow, in this step, the local routing execution entity may only collect statistics on the charging-related information of the user's local routing service flow to obtain the first charging statistical information, and calculate the user's non-local routing service flow. The local routing service flow does not carry out statistics, and the non-local routing service flow of the user is still counted by the charging agent; or, the local routing execution entity not only collects statistics on the charging related information of the user's local routing service flow , get the first billing statistical information, and also count the billing-related information of the user's non-local routing service flow to obtain the second billing statistical information, so that there is no need for the billing agent to further the user's non-local routing service The billing-related information of the flow is collected. Wherein, the first charging statistical information includes: statistical results of charging-related information of the user's local routing service flow, and optionally, it may also include a local routing indication, which may also include the ID of the local routing service flow. Wherein, the second charging statistical information includes: the statistical result of the charging related information of the user's non-local routing service flow, optionally, it may also include a non-local routing indication, and it may also include the non-local routing service flow ID. It should be noted that if the local routing execution entity collects statistics on the charging-related information of the user's local routing service flow and non-local routing service flow, the first charging statistical information must include the local routing indication, and the second accounting The non-local routing indication must be included in the fee statistics.
其中，第一计费统计信息可以包括对用户的一个或多个本地路由业务流的计费相关信息的统计结果，当第一计费统计信息包括多个本地路由业务流的计费相关信息的统计结果时，该第一计费统计信息需要包括本地路由的业务流的ID。这样，如果不同的业务流有不同的资费标准，则计费服务器收到第一计费统计信息之后，根据各业务流的ID和对相应业务流的计费相关信息的统计结果，对各业务流进行计费。同理，所述第二计费统计信息可以包括对用户的一个或多个非本地路由业务流的计费相关信息的统计结果，当第二计费统计信息包括多个非本地路由业务流的计费相关信息的统计结果时，该第二计费统计信息需要包括非本地路由业务流的ID。Wherein, the first charging statistical information may include statistical results of charging related information of one or more local routing service flows of the user, when the first charging statistical information includes charging related information of multiple local routing service flows When collecting results, the first charging statistics information needs to include the ID of the service flow of the local route. In this way, if different service flows have different charging standards, after the charging server receives the first charging statistical information, according to the ID of each service flow and the statistical results of the charging-related information of the corresponding service flow, calculate the The flow is billed. Similarly, the second charging statistical information may include statistical results of charging-related information on one or more non-local routed service flows of the user, when the second charging statistical information includes multiple non-local routed service flows When the statistical result of the charging-related information is collected, the second charging statistical information needs to include the ID of the non-local routing service flow.
403、本地路由执行实体向计费代理发送计费上下文传递应答消息。403. The local routing execution entity sends a charging context transfer response message to the charging proxy.
其中，计费上下文传递应答消息可以是路径注册确认消息Path_Reg_Ack。Wherein, the charging context transfer reply message may be a path registration confirmation message Path_Reg_Ack.
该步骤为可选步骤，且可以在步骤402之前执行或者与步骤402同时执行。This step is optional and can be performed before step 402 or simultaneously with step 402 .
404、计费代理向计费服务器发送计费信息更新请求消息，将当前时间间隔内非本地路由业务流的计费统计信息发送给计费服务器。404. The charging agent sends a charging information update request message to the charging server, and sends the charging statistical information of the non-local routing service flow in the current time interval to the charging server.
其中，该步骤中的计费信息更新请求消息可以是流量更新消息Bulk_Interim_Update。Wherein, the charging information update request message in this step may be a traffic update message Bulk_Interim_Update.
该步骤为可选步骤。当步骤402中本地路由执行实体对该用户的非本地路由业务流的计费相关信息也进行统计时，则后续计费代理不再对该用户的业务流的计费相关信息进行统计了，也将不再针对该用户上报计费信息更新请求消息。This step is optional. When the local routing execution entity in step 402 also collects statistics on the charging-related information of the user's non-local routing service flow, the subsequent charging agent no longer performs statistics on the charging-related information of the user's service flow, and also The charging information update request message will no longer be reported for the user.
405、计费服务器返回计费信息更新应答消息给计费代理。405. The charging server returns a charging information update response message to the charging proxy.
其中，计费信息更新应答消息可以是流量更新确认消息Bulk_Interim_Update_Ack。Wherein, the charging information update response message may be a traffic update confirmation message Bulk_Interim_Update_Ack.
该步骤为可选步骤。This step is optional.
406、本地路由执行实体根据计费上下文信息，定期向计费服务器发送计费信息更新请求消息。406. The local routing execution entity periodically sends a charging information update request message to the charging server according to the charging context information.
该步骤中，本地路由执行实体根据上报时间间隔、剩余上报时间等向计费服务器发送计费信息更新请求消息。假定剩余上报时间为10s，上报时间间隔为30s，则该本地路由执行实体在10s后第一次向计费服务器发送该用户的计费信息更新请求消息，以后每隔30s发送一次。In this step, the local routing execution entity sends a charging information update request message to the charging server according to the reporting time interval, the remaining reporting time, and the like. Assuming that the remaining reporting time is 10s and the reporting interval is 30s, the local routing execution entity sends the charging information update request message of the user to the charging server for the first time after 10s, and sends it every 30s thereafter.
当本地路由执行实体对该用户的所有业务流的计费相关信息进行统计时，该计费信息更新请求消息可以包括：第一计费统计信息和第二计费统计信息。当本地路由执行实体仅对该用户的本地路由业务流的计费相关信息进行统计时，该计费信息更新请求消息仅包括：第一计费统计信息。其中，该计费信息更新请求消息可以由本地路由执行实体通过计费代理转发给计费服务器。When the local routing execution entity collects statistics on charging-related information of all service flows of the user, the charging information update request message may include: first charging statistical information and second charging statistical information. When the local routing execution entity only collects statistics on the charging related information of the user's local routing service flow, the charging information update request message only includes: the first charging statistical information. Wherein, the charging information update request message may be forwarded by the local routing execution entity to the charging server through the charging agent.
其中，该步骤中本地路由执行实体可以直接向计费服务器发送计费信息更新请求消息，或者通过计费客户端发送计费信息更新请求，具体的，本地路由执行实体向计费客户端发送携带计费统计信息的流量更新消息Bulk_Interim_Update，然后计费客户端向计费服务器发送携带计费统计信息的计费请求消息Accounting Request；或者，本地路由执行实体通过计费代理向计费服务器发送计费信息更新请求，具体的，本地路由执行实体向计费代理发送携带计费统计信息的流量更新消息Bulk_Interim_pdate，然后由计费代理向计费服务器发送该计费统计信息；或者，本地路由执行实体通过计费代理、计费客户端向计费服务器发送计费信息更新请求，具体的，本地路由执行实体向计费代理发送携带计费统计信息的流量更新消息Bulk_Interim_Update，然后计费代理将携带计费统计信息的流量更新消息Bulk_Interim_Update上报给计费客户端，然后计费客户端向计费服务器发送携带上述计费统计信息的计费请求消息Accounting Request。Wherein, in this step, the local routing execution entity may directly send a charging information update request message to the charging server, or send a charging information updating request message through the charging client. Specifically, the local routing execution entity sends a message carrying The flow update message Bulk_Interim_Update of the accounting statistics information, and then the accounting client sends the accounting request message Accounting Request carrying the accounting statistics information to the accounting server; or, the local routing execution entity sends the accounting request message to the accounting server through the accounting proxy Information update request, specifically, the local routing execution entity sends a traffic update message Bulk_Interim_pdate carrying charging statistics information to the charging agent, and then the charging agent sends the charging statistics information to the charging server; or, the local routing execution entity passes The billing proxy and the billing client send billing information update requests to the billing server.

图5示出了本发明一实施例提供的本地路由业务的计费方法，该方法中本地路由执行实体位于WiMAX网络中的服务网关上，计费代理位于锚定接入网关上，服务网关直接将计费统计信息发送给计费客户端，然后由计费客户端上报给计费服务器，该实施例中计费服务器是AAA服务器，该方法具体包括：Figure 5 shows a charging method for local routing services provided by an embodiment of the present invention. In this method, the local routing execution entity is located on the serving gateway in the WiMAX network, the charging agent is located on the anchor access gateway, and the serving gateway directly The billing statistics information is sent to the billing client, and then reported to the billing server by the billing client. In this embodiment, the billing server is an AAA server. The method specifically includes:
501、终端向基站发送动态业务流增加请求消息DSA-REQ，以请求建立用于传输业务流的无线承载。501. The terminal sends a dynamic service flow increase request message DSA-REQ to the base station, so as to request establishment of a radio bearer for transmitting service flows.
其中，该业务流增加请求消息中包括业务流信息，比如业务流IP五元组等，其中，业务流IP五元组包括源IP地址、目的IP地址、源端口号、目的端口号和协议类型。Wherein, the service flow increase request message includes service flow information, such as service flow IP quintuple, etc., wherein the service flow IP quintuple includes source IP address, destination IP address, source port number, destination port number and protocol type .

503、基站向服务网关发送路径注册请求消息Path_Reg_Req，以请求建立用于传输业务流的网络承载，该消息中包括业务流的IP五元组信息。503. The base station sends a path registration request message Path_Reg_Req to the serving gateway to request establishment of a network bearer for transmitting the service flow, and the message includes IP quintuple information of the service flow.
504、服务网关向锚定接入网关发送路径注册请求消息Path_Reg_Req，以请求建立用于传输业务流的网络承载。504. The serving gateway sends a path registration request message Path_Reg_Req to the anchor access gateway, so as to request establishment of a network bearer for transmitting the service flow.
505、锚定接入网关根据业务流的IP五元组信息，判断得到与该终端通信的对端也位于该服务网关下，可以对该业务流执行本地路由，锚定接入网关向锚定业务流授权实体(Anchor Service Flow Authorization，AnchorSFA)发送资源保留请求消息RR_Req，该资源保留请求消息中可以包括执行本地路由的指示信息。505. According to the IP quintuple information of the service flow, the anchor access gateway determines that the opposite end communicating with the terminal is also located under the service gateway, and can perform local routing on the service flow, and the anchor access gateway sends the anchor A service flow authorization entity (Anchor Service Flow Authorization, AnchorSFA) sends a resource reservation request message RR_Req, and the resource reservation request message may include instruction information for performing local routing.
506、锚定业务流授权实体根据用户的签约信息、运营商的策略及业务信息等，确定用户请求传输的业务流的带宽、时延等QoS信息，锚定业务流授权实体向锚定接入网关返回资源保留应答消息RR_Rsp，该消息中包括该业务流的QoS信息。506.

The path registration response message includes charging context information, where the charging context information may include reporting time interval, remaining reporting time, etc., the charging context information may also include a local route charging indication.
其中，上报时间间隔表示每隔多少时间上报一次计费统计信息。剩余上报时间为距离下一次上报流量更新消息的时间，该实施例中表示服务网关收到计费上下文信息后，初次上报流量更新消息的时间。比如上报时间间隔为30s，由于可能在执行本地路由之前，该终端一直和外网中的终端进行通信，所以锚定接入网关中的计费代理一直对终端传向外网的业务流的计费相关信息进行统计，比如统计该业务流的流量等，可能在上一次向计费服务器上报流量更新消息的20s后，该用户有执行本地路由的业务流，此时的剩余上报时间即为10s，表示服务网关10s后初次上报携带计费统计信息的流量更新消息，以后就按照30s的时间间隔进行上报。Wherein, the reporting interval indicates how often the charging statistics information is reported. The remaining reporting time is the time until the next reporting of the traffic update message, which in this embodiment indicates the time when the serving gateway first reports the traffic update message after receiving the charging context information. For example, the reporting interval is 30s. Since the terminal may have been communicating with the terminal on the external network before local routing is executed, the billing agent in the anchor access gateway has been calculating the service flow transmitted from the terminal to the external network. It is possible that 20s after the last traffic update message was reported to the billing server, the user has a service flow that performs local routing, and the remaining reporting time at this time is 10s. , indicating that the service gateway reports the traffic update message carrying the charging statistics information for the first time after 10s, and then reports at intervals of 30s.

After the local routing occurs, the service gateway performs statistics on the charging related information of the service flow of the user's local routing, and the service gateway directly sends the charging statistical information to the charging gateway functional entity ( Charging Gateway Function, CGF), the method specifically includes:
701、终端向分组数据网网关发送创建PDP上下文请求消息，该创建PDP上下文请求消息包括业务流信息，比如业务流IP五元组等，其中，业务流IP五元组包括源IP地址、目的IP地址、源端口号、目的端口号和协议类型。701. The terminal sends a create PDP context request message to the packet data network gateway, the create PDP context request message includes service flow information, such as service flow IP quintuple, etc., wherein the service flow IP quintuple includes source IP address, destination IP Address, source port number, destination port number and protocol type.
702、PDN-GW根据业务流IP五元组，判断得到与该终端通信的对端与该终端位于同一服务网关下，可以对该业务流执行本地路由，通过创建PDP上下文应答消息将用户的计费上下文信息通知服务网关。702. According to the IP quintuple of the service flow, the PDN-GW determines that the opposite end communicating with the terminal is located under the same service gateway as the terminal, and can perform local routing on the service flow. By creating a PDP context response message, the user's computing The service gateway is notified of the fee context information.
其中，计费上下文信息可以包括计费标识、计费网关功能实体地址等，其中，计费标识表示业务流的计费模型，该计费上下文信息中还可以包括本地路由计费指示。The charging context information may include a charging identifier, an address of a charging gateway functional entity, etc., wherein the charging identifier indicates a charging model of a service flow, and the charging context information may also include a local route charging indication.
需要说明的是，如果网络配置成由服务网关对用户的所有业务流的计费相关信息进行统计，则该步骤中的计费上下文信息就包括该用户的各业务流对应的计费标识；如果网络配置成由服务网关仅对用户的本地路由业务流的计费相关信息进行统计，则该步骤中的计费上下文信息包括本地路由业务流对应的计费标识就可以了。It should be noted that if the network is configured such that the service gateway collects statistics on the charging-related information of all service flows of the user, the charging context information in this step includes the charging identifier corresponding to each service flow of the user; if If the network is configured such that the service gateway only collects statistics on the charging-related information of the user's local routed service flow, it is sufficient that the charging context information in this step includes the corresponding charging identifier of the local routed service flow.
703、服务网关接收到计费上下文信息后，开始对用户的业务流的计费相关信息进行统计，根据计费上下文信息中的计费网关功能实体地址，将计费统计信息通过数据记录传递请求消息Data Record Transfer Request上报给CGF。其中，计费统计信息包括：对用户的业务流的计费相关信息的统计结果和该业务流的计费标识。703. After receiving the charging context information, the service gateway starts to count the charging-related information of the user's service flow, and transmits the charging statistical information through the data record according to the charging gateway functional entity address in the charging context information The message Data Record Transfer Request is reported to CGF. Wherein, the charging statistical information includes: the statistical result of the charging-related information of the service flow of the user and the charging identification of the service flow.
当用户有非本地路由业务流时，该步骤中，服务网关可以仅对用户的本地路由业务流的计费相关信息进行统计，得到第一计费统计信息，对用户的非本地路由业务流不进行统计，该用户的非本地路由业务流还是由计费代理进行计费相关信息的统计；或者，服务网关不仅对用户的本地路由业务流的计费相关信息进行统计，得到第一计费统计信息，还对用户的非本地路由业务流的计费相关信息进行统计，得到第二计费统计信息，这样就不需要PDNGW再对该用户的非本地路由业务流的计费相关信息进行统计了。When the user has a non-local routing service flow, in this step, the service gateway can only collect statistics on the charging-related information of the user's local routing service flow to obtain the first charging statistical information, and do not count the user's non-local routing service flow. For statistics, the non-local routing service flow of the user is still counted by the charging agent for charging-related information; or, the service gateway not only performs statistics on the charging-related information of the user's local routing service flow, but also obtains the first charging statistics Information, also counts the charging-related information of the user's non-local routing service flow to obtain the second charging statistical information, so that there is no need for the PDNGW to make statistics on the charging-related information of the user's non-local routing service flow .
当服务网关对该用户的所有业务流的计费相关信息进行统计时，该数据记录传递请求消息Data Record Transfer Request可以包括：第一计费统计信息和第二计费统计信息；第一计费统计信息包括：本地路由的业务流对应的计费标识和对本地路由的业务流的计费相关信息的统计结果；第二计费统计信息包括：非本地路由的业务流对应的计费标识和对非本地路由的业务流的计费相关信息的统计结果。当服务网关仅对该用户的本地路由业务流的计费相关信息进行统计时，该数据记录传递请求消息Data Record Transfer Request仅包括：第一计费统计信息。When the service gateway makes statistics on the charging-related information of all business flows of the user, the data record transfer request message Data Record Transfer Request may include: the first charging statistical information and the second charging statistical information; the first charging The statistical information includes: the charging identifier corresponding to the service flow of the local route and the statistical result of the charging related information of the service flow of the local route; the second charging statistical information includes: the charging identifier corresponding to the service flow of the non-local route and Statistical results of charging-related information on non-locally routed service flows. When the service gateway only collects statistics on the charging-related information of the user's local routing service flow, the data record transfer request message Data Record Transfer Request only includes: the first charging statistical information.
其中，第一计费统计信息可以包括对用户的一个或多个本地路由业务流的计费相关信息的统计结果，所述第二计费统计信息可以包括对用户的一个或多个非本地路由业务流的计费相关信息的统计结果。Wherein, the first charging statistical information may include statistical results of charging-related information of one or more local routing service flows of the user, and the second charging statistical information may include one or more non-local routing service flows of the user Statistical results of charging-related information of service flows.
704、CGF根据计费统计信息，完成对用户的一次计费，并向服务网关返回数据记录传递响应消息Data Record Transfer Response消息。704. The CGF completes one billing for the user according to the billing statistical information, and returns a data record transfer response message Data Record Transfer Response message to the service gateway.
具体的，CGF根据计费统计信息中业务流对应的计费标识，采用该计费标识对应的资费对相应的业务流进行计费；具体的，根据第一计费统计信息中的本地路由的业务流对应的计费标识，采用该计费标识对应的资费和对本地路由的业务流的计费相关信息的统计结果，对本地路由业务流进行计费；根据第二计费统计信息中的非本地路由的业务流对应的计费标识，采用该计费标识对应的资费和对非本地路由的业务流的计费相关信息的统计结果，对非本地路由业务流进行计费。Specifically, the CGF uses the tariff corresponding to the charging identifier to charge the corresponding service flow according to the charging identifier corresponding to the service flow in the charging statistical information; specifically, according to the local route in the first charging statistical information The charging identifier corresponding to the service flow, using the tariff corresponding to the charging identifier and the statistical results of the charging-related information on the local routing service flow, to charge the local routing service flow; according to the second charging statistics The charging identifier corresponding to the non-locally routed service flow is used to charge the non-locally routed service flow by using the tariff corresponding to the charging identifier and the statistical results of charging-related information on the non-locally routed service flow.
