Charging method and system in wireless access network

Abstract

An accounting method in the wireless access network and the system thereof. In a session process, the Accounting Server obtains the accounting information based on the accounting location area, and performs accounting according to the corresponding accounting policy allocated based on the accounting location area. The method and system of the invention can perform accounting according to the different location areas, implement more flexible accounting policy and improve the justness and reasonableness of the accounting. The situation that there is partial overlap among the accounting location areas is convenient for decreasing the reported times of the accounting information about location area alteration. When the Accounting Server is an AAA server, the invention decreases the workload of the AAA server effectively. The scheme of the invention is simple to be achieved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of wireless network communication, in particular to a charging method and system in a wireless access network. Background technique [0002] With the vigorous development of Internet services and the wide application of wireless networks, GPRS (General Packet Radio Service, General Packet Radio Service), 3G (third generation), WiMAX (Worldwide Interoperability Microwave Access, microwave access global interoperability) and B3G (Beyond 3G, post-3G) and other wireless systems have received a lot of applications and attention. The increase in the number of users and the increase in user demand put forward new requirements for the wireless access network system: the wireless access network system is required to support multiple services with large capacity, large data volume and different service qualities. [0003] The wireless access network mainly completes the function of forwarding or routing packet servic...

Problems solved by technology

[0045] During the entire session, only the same charging strategy can be used, that is, the charging strategy assigned to the location of the BS that the MSS initially accesses for charging processing, and flexible charging strategies cannot be used for charging processing

[0046] If the user moves from a location area with a low charging standard to a location area with a high charging standard, or in the opposite direction, this charging method is obviously unfair and unreasonable
