Policy and charging control method, V-PCRF (policy and charging rules function) and V-OCS (office communications server)

Abstract

The invention provides a subscription information processing method, a policy and charging control method, an online charging method, a visited network, a V-PCRF (policy and charging rules function) and a V-OCS (office communications server). The subscription information processing method comprises the following steps that: the visited network receives subscription information and account information on the visited network of a roaming subscriber, wherein the roaming subscriber uses same subscriber identification information for the subscription information and the account information on the visited network and subscription information and account information on a home network; and the visited network stores the subscription information and the account information on the visited network of the roaming user. According to the subscription information processing method, the policy and charging control method, the online charging method, the visited network, the V-PCRF and the V-OCS provided by the invention, the subscriber can sign roaming data service with a visited network operator by using the subscriber identification information assigned by a home network operator, and the visited network is capable of independently performing the policy and charging control and the online charging on the subscriber having access to local counseling roaming.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the communication field, and in particular to a method for processing subscription information, a policy and charging control method, an online charging method, a visited network, a visited network policy control and charging rule function entity (V-PCRF), and a visited network online Billing System (V-OCS). Background technique [0002] Local Break Out (LBO for short) means that the service data used by the user in the roaming situation is directly transmitted to the destination through the visited network without routing from the visited network back to the home network, and then transmitted to the destination through the gateway of the home network. land. Locally routed services are directly processed by the visited site, without using the route between the home network and the visited network. This method can not only ensure a good user experience, but also reduce operating costs by saving bandwidth between networ...
