Embodiment 1

[0027] When the user registers the user's contract information with the operator, he can choose the pre-paid and post-paid billing methods at the same time. Before the user uses MSS to establish a session and start data services, the user can arbitrarily select the prepaid charging method and the postpaid charging method on the MSS according to the needs. figure 2Shown is the billing process in which the user selects the prepaid billing mode. If the user chooses to adopt the prepaid charging method, the MSS first accesses the BS through the R1 interface, and the BS initiates authentication to the authorization, verification (authentication) and accounting server (AAA Server: Authorization, Authentication and Accounting Server) through the ASN GW process. After the AAA server authenticates and authorizes the MSS, the ASN GW determines that the user chooses the prepaid charging method according to the authentication and authentication data of the AAA server. The prepaid clien...
