Description

分组网关企业级计费方法及装置Packet gateway enterprise level charging method and device 技术领域Technical field
本文涉及移动通信技术领域，特别涉及一种分组网关企业级计费方法及装置。The present invention relates to the field of mobile communication technologies, and in particular, to a packet gateway enterprise level charging method and apparatus.
背景技术Background technique
相关技术中，移动通信网络的分组域计费是基于用户承载或分组数据协议(Packet Data Protocol，简称为PDP)上下文的。用户初始接入时，在信令网关(Signaling Gateway，简称为SGW)/分组数据网网关(Packet Data Network Gateway，简称为PGW)/网关GPRS支持节点(Gateway GPRS Support Node，简称为GGSN)设备中为承载开启一张话单，当满足话单生成条件时，SGW/PGW/GGSN设备将话单传输到计费网关(Charging Gateway，简称为CG)。图1是相关技术中分组域计费的信令流程图，如图1所示，包括如下处理：In the related art, the packet domain charging of the mobile communication network is based on a User Bearer or Packet Data Protocol (PDP) context. When the user initially accesses, in the Signaling Gateway (SGW)/Packet Data Network Gateway (PGW)/Gateway GPRS Support Node (GGSN) device When a bill is opened for the bearer, the SGW/PGW/GGSN device transmits the bill to the Charging Gateway (hereinafter referred to as CG) when the bill generation condition is satisfied. FIG. 1 is a signaling flowchart of packet domain charging in the related art. As shown in FIG. 1, the following processing is included:
步骤101，SGW/PGW/GGSN收到用户终端(User Equipment，简称为UE)承载/PDP上下文建立消息；Step 101: The SGW/PGW/GGSN receives a User Equipment (UE) bearer/PDP context establishment message.
步骤102，SGW/PGW/GGSN处理承载/PDP上下文建立后，开始对承载/PDP上下文进行计费；Step 102: After the SGW/PGW/GGSN processes the bearer/PDP context, the charging of the bearer/PDP context is started.
步骤103，当承载/PDP上下文满足话单生成条件(时间门限，流量门限，费率改变次数达到门限等，参见3GPP协议)时，SGW/PGW/GGSN生成中间话单；Step S103: The SGW/PGW/GGSN generates an intermediate bill when the bearer/PDP context satisfies the bill generation condition (time threshold, traffic threshold, rate change threshold reaches the threshold, etc., see 3GPP protocol);
步骤104，SGW/PGW/GGSN向CG输出中间话单；Step 104: The SGW/PGW/GGSN outputs an intermediate bill to the CG.
步骤105～106，承载/PDP上下文在生存期间，可能会有多次满足话单生成条件，生成中间话单；In steps 105-106, during the lifetime of the bearer/PDP context, the bill generation condition may be satisfied multiple times to generate an intermediate bill;
步骤107，SGW/PGW/GGSN收到承载/PDP上下文释放消息或主动释放承载/PDP上下文；Step 107: The SGW/PGW/GGSN receives the bearer/PDP context release message or the active release bearer/PDP context.
步骤108，SGW/PGW/GGSN处理承载/PDP上下文释放后，对承载/PDP 上下文生成结束话单；Step 108: After the SGW/PGW/GGSN processes the bearer/PDP context release, the bearer/PDP Context generation end CDR;
步骤109，SGW/PGW/GGSN向CG输出结束话单。In step 109, the SGW/PGW/GGSN outputs the ending bill to the CG.
从上述处理可以看出，运营商看到的是每个用户的承载/PDP上下文级别的业务情况。It can be seen from the above processing that the operator sees the service status of each user's bearer/PDP context level.
目前运营商正在加大基于移动通信网络的企业网发展，特别是在长期演进(Long Term Evolution，简称为LTE)***阶段，LTE高带宽特性非常适合推广中小级别的企业或园区网络，与传统固网相比具有部署灵活方便、低成本等优势。企业或园区网络的计费模式不关注个人计费，通常按企业租用带宽和容量进行收费。第三代合作伙伴计划(3rd Generation Partnership Project，简称为3GPP)组织也定义了本地IP存取(Local IP Access，简称为LIPA)、选择IP流量卸除(Selected IP Traffic Offload，简称为SIPTO)等技术，将分组流量有选择地进行本地分流，减轻核心网和骨干网传输压力，非常适合于发展企业或园区网络，但3GPP未要求本地网关(Local Gateway，简称为LGW)支持计费。At present, operators are increasing the development of enterprise networks based on mobile communication networks, especially in the system of Long Term Evolution (LTE). The high bandwidth of LTE is very suitable for promoting small and medium-sized enterprises or campus networks. Compared with the network, it has the advantages of flexible deployment and low cost. The billing mode of the enterprise or campus network does not pay attention to personal billing, and is usually charged according to the leased bandwidth and capacity of the enterprise. The 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) organization also defines Local IP Access (LIPA) and Selected IP Traffic Offload (SIPTO). The technology selectively splits the packet traffic locally and reduces the transmission pressure of the core network and the backbone network. It is very suitable for developing the enterprise or campus network. However, the 3GPP does not require the local gateway (LGW) to support charging.
