Abstract
A charging processing method is provided and includes: obtaining QoS of a guaranteed data service of a user and a guarantee status of the QoS, performing charging processing on charging data of the guaranteed data service based on the information, when the guarantee status of the QoS changes or a guarantee notification switch status of the QoS changes, disabling a counter in a timely manner, and separately processing charging data that exists before the change and charging data that exists after the change. In this way, an operator can accurately perform charging on the guaranteed data service “based on the guarantee status”, to improve user experience. In addition, the operator can obtain revenue corresponding to occupied network resources.
Claims20
A method for performing charging processing on a data service of a user, performed by a charging trigger device, comprising:
- sending a charging request message to a charging processing device, wherein the charging request message comprises charging data of the data service, wherein the charging data comprises usage information of a quota or a quota request, the charging request message further indicating a guarantee status of a quality of service (QOS) that is of the data service and that corresponds to the charging data, the guarantee status of the QoS indicating whether the QoS is currently guaranteed or not in the access network;
- and
- receiving a charging response message from the charging processing device, wherein the charging response message comprises a charging processing result of the charging request message, wherein the charging processing result is based on the guarantee status of the QoS.
A method for performing charging processing on a data service of a user, performed by a charging processing device, comprising:
- receiving a charging request message from a charging trigger device, wherein the charging request message comprises charging data of the data service, wherein the charging data comprises usage information of a quota or a quota request, the charging request message further indicating a guarantee status of a quality of service (QOS) that is of the data service and that corresponds to the charging data, the guarantee status of the QoS indicating whether the QoS is currently guaranteed or not in the access network;
- performing charging processing based on the charging request message;
- and
- sending a charging response message to the charging trigger device, wherein the charging response message comprises a charging processing result of the charging request message, the charging processing result based on the guarantee status of the QoS.
A charging system, configured to perform charging processing on a data service of a user, comprising a charging trigger device and a charging processing device, wherein
- the charging trigger device is configured to:
- send a charging request message to the charging processing device, wherein the charging request message comprises charging data of the data service, wherein the charging data comprises usage information of a quota or a quota request, the charging request message further indicating a guarantee status of a quality of service (QOS) that is of the data service and that corresponds to the charging data, the guarantee status of the QoS indicating whether the QoS is currently guaranteed or not in the access network;
- and
- receive a charging response message from the charging processing device, wherein the charging response message comprises a charging processing result of the charging request message, wherein the charging processing result is based on the guarantee status of the QoS;
- and
- the charging processing device is configured to:
- receive the charging request message from the charging trigger device;
- perform charging processing based on the charging request message;
- and
- send the charging response message to the charging trigger device.
