Embodiment 1

[0046] In this embodiment, an intra-network short message is taken as an example for illustration, that is, the prepaid user and the recipient user belong to the same operator. In this embodiment, the function of the service node can be realized through the SMSC. see figure 2 , the online charging method provided in this embodiment specifically includes:

[0047] 101: After receiving the short message sent by the prepaid user, the service node sends an authentication and charging request message to the SCP, wherein the information carried in the authentication and charging request message is as follows: short message center logo, meter source address, destination Address, MO / MT sign, short message ID, short message length and service sign, wherein, the ID of short message (identification of short message, also known as the serial number of short message) is automatically generated after the service node receives the short message .

[0048] 102: After receiving the authent...

Embodiment 2

[0068] When a prepaid user wants to obtain a certain service provided by SP (Service Provider, service provider) through a short message, for example, when a prepaid user wants to obtain services such as news or weather forecast, he can send a short message request to the SP to obtain This service is Monternet short message service. This embodiment takes Monternet short message as an example to illustrate, the function of service node can be realized through ISMG, see image 3 and Figure 4 , image 3 It is a flow chart of authentication and charging in the online charging method provided by this embodiment, Figure 4 For the flow chart of charging back in the online charging method provided by this embodiment, this embodiment of the present invention provides another online charging method, which specifically includes:

[0069] 201: The prepaid user sends a short message to the SMSC, and the destination number of the short message is the service code of the SP.

[0070] 2...

Embodiment 3

[0091] This embodiment takes the inter-network short message as an example, that is, the prepaid user and the receiving user belong to different operators, and the function of the service node in this embodiment can exchange information with other networks through the network to which the prepaid user belongs implementation of the short message gateway, see Figure 5 and Figure 6 , Figure 5 It is a flow chart of authentication and charging in the online charging method provided by this implementation 3, Figure 6 It is a flow chart of charging back in the online charging method provided by this embodiment. The embodiment of the present invention also provides an online charging method, which specifically includes:

[0092] 301: After receiving the short message sent by the prepaid user, the SMSC judges whether the recipient user of the short message is an other network user according to the destination address of the short message, and if so, executes 303; otherwise, execu...

Abstract

The present invention discloses a method for billing on-line, a service control point, a convergent billing point and a system thereof, and belongs to the field of communication. The method comprises the following steps: receiving the authentication billing request information transmitted by the service control point, wherein the authentication billing request information is packed with the Diameter protocol; unpacking the authentication charging request information according to the Diameter protocol, and executing authentication billing according to the information carried in the unpacked information. The service control point comprises a receiving module, a packing module and a transmitting module. The convergent billing point comprises an information receiving module, an unpacking module and an authentication billing module. The system comprises a service node, a service control point and a convergent billing point. The invention receives the authorization billing request information which is packed by the Diameter protocol through the convergent billing point CBP in the pre-charging short message service. The CBP executes authorization billing after unpacking therefore the convergent billing across service can be realized and the flexibility of billing on-line is increased.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the communication field, in particular to an online charging method, a service control point, a converged charging point and a system. Background technique [0002] The prepaid short message service refers to the short message service provided to prepaid users, and its charging is based on the short message charging protocol carried by TCP / IP. The authentication charging of prepaid short message and the process of billing recovery are as follows: the prepaid user sends a short message to SMSC (ShortMessage Service Center, short message center); SCP (Service Control Points, Service Control Point) sends authentication and charging request message; after SCP receives authentication and charging request message, processes it, and after authentication deduction succeeds, returns authentication response message to SMSC; SMSC according to authentication The result of the authorization response message is processed accordingly. If the...
