CDR merging device for billing gateway

Abstract

The utility model discloses a device for merging telephone bills, comprising: a module for merging a rule base to configure and manage the rules of merging telephone bills; a module for merging telephone bills to merge and process the telephone bills from a charging data function entity or a charging collection function entity according to the rules of combination in the module for merging the rule base. The utility model can be used to charging gateway function entity or an independent physical node. The utility model has the advantages of enabling to greatly reduce the operating load of BD and the operating flow rate at the Bx interface, and comprehensively improving the processing performance of the system in the case that the telecommunication networks involve a plurality of network elements generating data in a business process.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the communication field, in particular to a device for merging bills in a billing gateway. Background technique [0002] In the telecommunication network described by 3GPP (3rd Generation Partnership Project, referred to as 3GPP) and ITU-T (International Telecommunication Union), the billing system is one of its important functional components, and it is the operator's An important guarantee for realizing revenue. Its main functions are as follows: [0003] Figure 1 shows the composition of charging functional entities in the 3GPP network and the relationship between them. [0004] As shown in Figure 1, the Charging Trigger Function (CTF for short) is embedded in each 3GPP network entity (including CN Domain at the access layer, Sub-system at the control layer, and Service element at the service layer). The function is: collect charging information according to the monitored usage of network resources, and send it to the cha...

Problems solved by technology

Therefore, compared with the traditional billing method, the subsequent processing of these billing bills by BD will become very cumbersome. BD first needs to associate these billing bills according to certain conditions, and then according to certain modes and strategies billing

This is because, if BD processes these billing bills separately, these billing data are isolated and isolated from each other, and their association with each other is not taken into account, and the billing data and service characteristics they carry are all One-sided and partial, then when the final billing is performed, it may not fully reflect the service characteristics of the user, the billing result will be biased, and sometimes it may cause repeated billing

[0010] Especially in the case of a wide network deployment and a large number of users, the work of associating the charging data generated by the same service in each network element will greatly increase the processing burden of BD, thus affecting the charging function processing performance and efficiency
