Abstract
Embodiments of this application disclose a service processing method and product, applied to a charging field in a network architecture for a slice instance. The policy control device sends a subscription request to a charging processing device, where the subscription request carries an identifier of a first slice instance and an identifier of user equipment. Then, the policy control device receives a subscription response returned by the charging processing device, where the subscription response includes first information of a first counter corresponding to the first slice instance and a subscription identifier.

A method, comprising:
- sending, by a policy control device, a subscription request, wherein the subscription request comprises an identifier of a first slice instance and an identifier of user equipment, the subscription request corresponds to the first slice instance, the subscription request is a request to create, for the user equipment, a first subscription resource corresponding to the first slice instance, the identifier of the first slice instance indicates that the first subscription resource corresponds to the first slice instance, and the subscription request corresponding to the first slice instance further carries a notification address corresponding to the first slice instance;
- and
- receiving, by the policy control device, a subscription response, wherein the subscription response comprises first information of a first counter corresponding to the first slice instance and a subscription identifier, and wherein the first counter is a counter of user consumption in a charging processing device.
A method, comprising:
- receiving, by a charging processing device, a subscription request, wherein the subscription request comprises an identifier of a first slice instance and an identifier of user equipment, the subscription request corresponds to the first slice instance, the subscription request is a request to create, for the user equipment, a first subscription resource corresponding to the first slice instance, the identifier of the first slice instance indicates that the first subscription resource corresponds to the first slice instance, and the subscription request corresponding to the first slice instance further carries a notification address corresponding to the first slice instance;
- and
- returning, by the charging processing device, a subscription response, wherein the subscription response comprises first information of a first counter corresponding to the first slice instance and a subscription identifier, and wherein the first counter is a counter of user consumption in the charging processing device.
A policy control device, comprising at least one processor and a memory, wherein the memory stores program instructions, and the program instructions are executed by the at least one processor, to perform operations comprising:
- sending a subscription request, wherein the subscription request comprises an identifier of a first slice instance and an identifier of user equipment, the subscription request corresponds to the first slice instance, the subscription request is a request to create, for the user equipment, a first subscription resource corresponding to the first slice instance, the identifier of the first slice instance indicates that the first subscription resource corresponds to the first slice instance, and the subscription request corresponding to the first slice instance further carries a notification address corresponding to the first slice instance;
- and
- receiving a subscription response, wherein the subscription response comprises first information of a first counter corresponding to the first slice instance and a subscription identifier, and wherein the first counter is a counter of user consumption in a charging processing device.
