技术领域technical field
本发明涉及移动通信技术领域，具体而言涉及一种漫游场景下的计费方法、相关装置及在线计费系统。The present invention relates to the technical field of mobile communication, in particular to a billing method, a related device and an online billing system in a roaming scene.
背景技术Background technique
漫游(roaming)指移动台离开自己注册登记的服务区域，移动到另一服务区后，移动通信系统仍可向其提供服务的功能。欧洲漫游法案III定义了可选择的漫游服务提供商(Alternative Roaming Provider，ARP)，一个ARP可以为一个或者多个欧洲国家的用户提供数据业务漫游服务器。用户在欧洲内漫游时，可以选择普通漫游，即通过与用户归属地服务提供商(服务提供商简称运营商)签订协议的本地服务提供商来提供服务。用户还可以选择ARP提供漫游服务，向ARP订购相应的ARP套餐。相对于普通漫游，ARP漫游可以提供更低的资费，欢迎程度更高。Roaming refers to the function that the mobile communication system can still provide services to the mobile station after it leaves its registered service area and moves to another service area. The European Roaming Act III defines an alternative roaming service provider (Alternative Roaming Provider, ARP), and one ARP can provide data service roaming servers for users in one or more European countries. When roaming in Europe, the user can choose ordinary roaming, that is, the service is provided by the local service provider that has signed an agreement with the user's home service provider (the service provider is referred to as the operator). Users can also choose ARP to provide roaming services, and order corresponding ARP packages from ARP. Compared with ordinary roaming, ARP roaming can provide lower charges and is more popular.
参见图1，图1是现有技术提供的计费方法的流程图。Referring to Fig. 1, Fig. 1 is a flowchart of a billing method provided by the prior art.
其中，用户当前漫游到ARP网络，ARP网络的网元包括ARP计费系统，例如在线计费系统(Online Charging System，OCS)、ARP代理(ARP Proxy)和拜访地的(Visit)服务GPRS支持节点(Serving GPRSSupport Node，SGSN)，归属地网络(Home network)的网元包括归属地的在线计费系统(Home OCS)、归属地的策略控制规则功能(PolicyControl Rule Function，PCRF)设备以及归属地的网关GPRS支持节点(Gateway GPRS Support Node，GGSN)。Among them, the user is currently roaming to the ARP network, and the network elements of the ARP network include the ARP charging system, such as the Online Charging System (Online Charging System, OCS), the ARP proxy (ARP Proxy) and the visiting (Visit) serving GPRS support node (Serving GPRSSupport Node, SGSN), the network elements of the home network (Home network) include the home online charging system (Home OCS), the home policy control rule function (Policy Control Rule Function, PCRF) equipment and the home Gateway GPRS Support Node (Gateway GPRS Support Node, GGSN).
具体的，ARP OCS用于根据用户订购的ARP套餐对用户进行计费。ARP OCS还可以获取用户的ARP套餐使用量或账户余额，并通过Sy接口发送给Home PCRF设备(Home PCRF设备简称PCRF)。ARP代理作为ARP OCS的代理，用于将其他网元发送的消息转发给ARP OCS或将ARP OCS发送的消息向外转发。Specifically, the ARP OCS is used to charge the user according to the ARP package subscribed by the user. The ARP OCS can also obtain the user's ARP package usage or account balance, and send it to the Home PCRF device (the Home PCRF device is referred to as PCRF) through the Sy interface. The ARP proxy acts as a proxy for the ARP OCS, and is used to forward messages sent by other network elements to the ARP OCS or forward messages sent by the ARP OCS to the outside.
当用户准备在拜访地使用数据业务时，漫游用户的移动台向拜访地的SGSN发送分组数据协议(Packet Data Protocol，PDP)连接请求，请求建立PDP会话。拜访地的SGSN将该连接请求转发到用户归属地的GGSN。When the user is going to use the data service in the visited place, the mobile station of the roaming user sends a packet data protocol (Packet Data Protocol, PDP) connection request to the SGSN in the visited place, requesting to establish a PDP session. The SGSN at the visited location forwards the connection request to the GGSN at the user's home location.
图1所示的计费方法包括如下流程：The billing method shown in Figure 1 includes the following processes:
步骤1、归属地的GGSN向归属地的PCRF设备发送信用控制请求消息。Step 1. The home GGSN sends a credit control request message to the home PCRF device.
其中，信用控制请求(Credit Control Request，CCR)消息的目的在于请求针对该用户的计费控制策略，该消息可以通过Gx接口发送。Wherein, the purpose of the credit control request (Credit Control Request, CCR) message is to request the charging control policy for the user, and the message can be sent through the Gx interface.
PCRF设备根据该CCR消息对该用户进行策略决策，策略决策过程具体包括步骤2和6。The PCRF device makes a policy decision for the user according to the CCR message, and the policy decision process specifically includes steps 2 and 6.
步骤2、PCRF确定该用户该订购了ARP套餐，向ARP代理发送请求消息获取该套餐的使用量。Step 2. The PCRF determines that the user should subscribe to the ARP package, and sends a request message to the ARP proxy to obtain the usage amount of the package.
其中，PCRF上保存了用户的ARP订购信息，PCRF可以根据该信用控制请求确定用户订购了ARP套餐。Wherein, the ARP subscription information of the user is stored in the PCRF, and the PCRF can determine that the user has subscribed to the ARP package according to the credit control request.
PCRF通过消费限额请求(Spending Limit Request，SLR)消息向ARP OCS获取该套餐的使用量，该消息可以通过Sy接口发送。The PCRF obtains the usage amount of the package from the ARP OCS through a spending limit request (Spending Limit Request, SLR) message, which can be sent through the Sy interface.
步骤3、ARP代理转发该SLR消息到ARP OCS。Step 3. The ARP proxy forwards the SLR message to the ARP OCS.
步骤4、ARP OCS获取该ARP套餐的使用量，并回消费限额响应(Spending Limit Answer，SLA)消息给ARP Proxy。Step 4. The ARP OCS obtains the usage amount of the ARP package, and returns a Spending Limit Answer (SLA) message to the ARP Proxy.
步骤5、ARP代理转发该SLA消息到PCRF。Step 5: The ARP proxy forwards the SLA message to the PCRF.
步骤6、PCRF根据SLA消息中的套餐使用量对用户进行策略控制，生成相应的控制策略，并通过信用控制响应(Credit Control Answer，CCA)消息下发给归属地的GGSN。Step 6. The PCRF performs policy control on the user according to the package usage in the SLA message, generates a corresponding control policy, and sends it to the GGSN at the home location through a Credit Control Answer (CCA) message.
步骤7、归属地的GGSN根据下发的控制策略，向ARP代理申请信用授权。Step 7: The GGSN at the home location applies for credit authorization to the ARP agent according to the delivered control policy.
其中，GGSN可以通过Gx接口发送CCR消息来申请信用授权。Wherein, the GGSN can send a CCR message through the Gx interface to apply for credit authorization.
步骤8、ARP代理转发CCR消息到ARP OCS。Step 8. The ARP proxy forwards the CCR message to the ARP OCS.
步骤9、ARP OCS对用户进行信用授权，返回CCA消息，其中携带用户的授权配额(quota)。Step 9: The ARP OCS performs credit authorization on the user, and returns a CCA message, which carries the user's authorization quota (quota).
步骤10、ARP代理转发CCA消息给GGSN。Step 10, the ARP proxy forwards the CCA message to the GGSN.
此时，PDP会话建立成功，用户开始使用ARP套餐中的数据业务。At this time, the PDP session is established successfully, and the user starts to use the data service in the ARP package.
随着技术的发展，归属地的OCS逐渐演进为融合的OCS，即OCS中融合了传统的PCRF的功能，传统的PCRF演进为嵌入式(embedded)PCRF，嵌入式PCRF作为一个模块嵌入到OCS中，嵌入式PCRF不执行具体的策略决策功能，策略决策功能具体由OCS中的融合计费点(Convergent Billing Point，CBP)来实现。With the development of technology, the OCS at the place of origin gradually evolves into an integrated OCS, that is, the OCS integrates the functions of the traditional PCRF, and the traditional PCRF evolves into an embedded PCRF, which is embedded into the OCS as a module. , the embedded PCRF does not perform a specific policy decision function, and the policy decision function is specifically implemented by a Convergent Billing Point (CBP) in the OCS.
现有技术中的漫游计费方法需要归属地的PCRF向ARP OCS获取ARP套餐的使用量，但融合的OCS中的CBP和ARP OCS之间无通信接口，因而CBP无法向ARP OCS获取该ARP套餐的使用量，进而CBP无法对ARP漫游业务进行策略决策，导致漫游用户无法使用订购的ARP套餐。The roaming billing method in the prior art requires the PCRF at the home location to obtain the usage amount of the ARP package from the ARP OCS, but there is no communication interface between the CBP and the ARP OCS in the integrated OCS, so the CBP cannot obtain the ARP package from the ARP OCS As a result, CBP cannot make policy decisions on the ARP roaming service, resulting in roaming users being unable to use the subscribed ARP package.
