A method for charging a multimedia conference service, comprising:
- a MultiMedia Telephony Application Server (MMTel AS) sending an Accounting Request (ACR) message to a Charging Data Function (CDF) unit according to a corresponding service request initiated by a User Equipment (UE);
- the CDF unit generating a corresponding Charging Data Record (CDR) according to the received ACR message, and sending the generated CDR to a Charging Gateway Function (CGF) unit;
- and
- the CGF unit preprocessing the received CDR, and sending, according to a pre-established rule, a CDR file to a Billing Domain (BD) to generate a corresponding bill;
- wherein the ACR message and the CDR comprise a field of Conference Identifier (CONF ID) and a field of Online Participants Number.
A system for charging a multimedia conference service comprising:
- a Call Session Control Function (CSCF) unit, configured to forward a service request message of a User Equipment (UE) to a MultiMedia Telephony Application Server (MMTel AS);
- the MMTel AS, configured to send an Accounting Request (ACR) message to a Charging Data Function (CDF) unit according to a corresponding service request initiated by the UE;
- the CDF unit, configured to generate a corresponding Charging Data Record (CDR) according to the received ACR message, and send the CDR to a CGF unit;
- the CGF unit, configured to preprocess the received CDR and send a CDR file to a Billing Domain (BD) according to a pre-established rule;
- and
- the BD, configured to generate a corresponding bill according to the CDR file;
- wherein the ACR message and the CDR comprise a field of Conference Identifier (CONF ID) and a field of Online Participants Number.
