A method, system and device for realizing online billing

Abstract

A method, system and device for realizing online charging. The method comprises: after a DCCA client side and a server side are in abnormal interaction, the DCCA client side enters into an offline charging mode, and requests a connection with the server side again when a preset reconnection condition is met; and when reconnection is failed, the DCCA client side tries to apply a quota for a current session, so as to recover the reconnection with the server side. By means of the technical scheme provided by the embodiments of the present invention, after a DCCA client side and a server side are in abnormal interaction, interaction between the DCCA client side and the server side can be recovered, thereby ensuring a permanently online state of a user, and realizing a mechanism for continuously monitoring a session of the user by the server side.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the permanent online technology of users, in particular to a method, system and device for realizing online charging. Background technique [0002] In the fourth generation Long Term Evolution (LTE, Long Term Evolution) system, with the application of data services more and more widely, certain services such as social services and instant services require users to be permanently online. If the user is interrupted while using the data service, the user experience will be greatly affected. For this reason, two failure handling modes, Support of Failover and Support of Failure Handling, are defined in the 3GPP protocol 32299-c40. [0003] Among them, the failure retransmission refers to: when the system includes the active online charging system (OCS, Online Charging System) and the standby OCS, if the media gateway (GW) fails to interact with the active OCS, it needs to continue to interact with the standby OCS to keep the sess...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

It can be seen from the above description that if the retransmission fails after the failure or there is no backup OCS, the service will either be terminated and the user experience will be affected; or the service will continue and the system will switch to the offline charging method. Normal work, and it is impossible to control and monitor these services normally, and due to the reason of permanent online, users may continue online for a long time, which will undoubtedly bring great trouble or loss to the operator's billing

[0006] In addition to the above-mentioned link abnormalities, if the performance of the OCS side is insufficient and other reasons, the OCS will also send unprocessable result codes to the GW, such as: 3004-Diameter_too_busy, 3002-Diameter_unable_to_deliver, etc., which will also cause subsequent OCS It is impossible to carry out normal control and monitoring on these businesses
