Abstract
A method for realizing metering pulses in Next Generation Network (NGN), which enables an MGC (media gateway controller) to cooperate with an MG (media gateway), so as to realize the metering pulse service. When it is necessary to initiate the charging, the MGC transmits the metering pulse signal to the MG, and then the MG transmits the first metering pulse to the user equipment immediately, and periodically transmits the subsequent pulses according to the Pulse Count and Pulse Interval specified by the signal parameter.
Claims12
A method for realizing metering pulses in the Next Generation Network (NGN), comprising the steps of:
- A. delivering from a media gateway controller to a media gateway a metering pulse information message;
- B. obtaining by the media gateway the number of metering pulses to be transmitted and a transmission interval between two adjacent metering pulses according to the information message;
- and
- C. transmitting the metering pulses periodically to a user equipment according to the obtained number of metering pulses to be transmitted and transmission interval between two adjacent metering pulses.
