Embodiment Construction

[0039] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0040] The embodiment of the present invention discloses a prepaid billing method, including:

[0041] S101: The charging device receives a CCR (Credit Control Request, credit control request) sent by the service control center, the CCR includes the service volume and the user identification;

[0042] When CCR is used to apply for reserved resources, CCR carries RSU (requested-service-unit, requesting service unit), which includes service volume and user ID. According to different services, the service volume can have various forms, such as : Apply for reserved call time, apply for reserved traffic, apply for the total number of bytes reserved, apply for reserved input bytes, apply for reserved output bytes or other special measurements for application reservation unit.

[0043] When the CCR is us...

Abstract

The embodiment of the invention provides a method, device and system for charging prepayment. The method comprises the following steps: receiving a credit control request sent by a service control center, wherein the credit control request comprises service volume; acquiring a charging strategy; converting the service volume into more than one sectional service volume based on the charging strategy; and sending a credit control request carrying a user identification and the more than one sectional service volume to an ABM (account balance management). The charging device in the embodiment of the invention can convert the service volume into multiple sectional service volumes based on the charging strategy, and send each sectional service volume to the ABM so as to enable the ABM to perform cost check computation based on the sectional service volumes; and as the ABM can perform cost check computation on the multiple sectional service volumes once, the message interaction between an OCS (online charging system) and the ABM can be reduced, the operation of repeated rating of the OCS can be alleviated, and the charging efficiency can be improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The embodiments of the present invention relate to the technical field of communication, and in particular, to a method, device and system for prepaid billing. Background technique [0002] In 3GPP (Third Generation Partnership Project, the third generation cooperative project specification), the OCS (Online charging system, online charging system) architecture clearly defines the ABM (Account Balance Management, balance management center) function, which is used as an independent module in ABM. The rating engine adopts the Rc interface, but it only defines that Rc adopts DCC (Diameter Credit-Control Application, credit control application protocol), and does not specify the specific interface. [0003] In the case where OCS is responsible for price approval and ABM is responsible for balance management and the division of labor is clear, for free resource reservation and chargeback, for example: when there are free resources or skip billing in the bil...
