Abstract
A method for performing charging on a network resource is provided. The method mainly includes: determining a network slice performance indicator that is used for performing charging on a network slice instance; subscribing to data corresponding to the network slice performance indicator from a network slice management device; and performing charging on the network slice instance based on the data corresponding to the network slice performance indicator. According to the method, a charging result for a customer matches an input of an operator for the network slice instance, to help improve network resource utilization rate and meet diversified network service requirements of an industry customer.

A method for performing charging on a network resource, comprising:
- sending, by a network slice charging function device, a subscription request message to a network slice management function device, wherein the subscription request message comprises an identifier of a network slice instance;
- receiving, by the network slice charging function device, a subscription notification message from the network slice management function device, wherein the subscription notification message comprises data corresponding to a network slice performance indicator of the network slice instance, and the network slice performance indicator describes a network performance of the network slice instance;
- and
- performing, by the network slice charging function device, charging on the network slice instance based on the data corresponding to the network slice performance indicator.
A method for performing charging on a network resource, comprising:
- receiving, by a network slice management function device, a subscription request message from a network slice charging function device, wherein the subscription request message comprises an identifier of a network slice instance;
- obtaining, by the network slice management function device based on the subscription request message, data corresponding to a network slice performance indicator of the network slice instance, wherein the network slice performance indicator describes a network performance of the network slice instance;
- and
- sending, by the network slice management function device, a subscription notification message to the network slice charging function device, wherein the subscription notification message comprises the data corresponding to the network slice performance indicator.
A network slice charging function device, comprising at least one processor and a memory, wherein the memory is configured to store a program, and wherein the program, when executed by the at least one processor, causes the network slice charging function device to:
- send a subscription request message to a network slice management function device, wherein the subscription request message comprises an identifier of a network slice instance;
- receive a subscription notification message from the network slice management function device, wherein the subscription notification message comprises data corresponding to a network slice performance indicator of the network slice instance, and the network slice performance indicator describes a network performance of the network slice instance;
- and
- perform charging on the network slice instance based on the data corresponding to the network slice performance indicator.
A network slice management function device, comprising at least one processor and a memory, wherein the memory is configured to store a program, and wherein the program, when executed by the at least one processor, causes the network slice management function device to:
- receive a subscription request message from a network slice charging function device, wherein the subscription request message comprises an identifier of a network slice instance;
- obtain, based on the subscription request message, data corresponding to a network slice performance indicator of the network slice instance, wherein the network slice performance indicator describes a network performance of the network slice instance;
- and
- send a subscription notification message to the network slice charging function device, wherein the subscription notification message comprises the data corresponding to the network slice performance indicator.
A system for performing charging on a network resource, comprising a network slice management function device and a network slice charging function device, wherein:
- the network slice charging function device comprises at least one first processor and a first memory, wherein the first memory is configured to store a first program, and wherein the first program, when executed by the at least one first processor, causes the network slice charging function device to:
- send a subscription request message to a network slice management function device, wherein the subscription request message comprises an identifier of a network slice instance;
- receive a subscription notification message from the network slice management function device, wherein the subscription notification message comprises data corresponding to a network slice performance indicator of the network slice instance, and the network slice performance indicator describes a network performance of the network slice instance;
- and
- perform charging on the network slice instance based on the data corresponding to the network slice performance indicator;
- and the network slice management function device comprises at least one second processor and a second memory, wherein the second memory is configured to store a program, and wherein the second program, when executed by the at least one second processor, causes the network slice management function device to:
- receive the subscription request message from the network slice charging function device;
- obtain, based on the subscription request message, the data corresponding to a network slice performance indicator of the network slice instance;
- and
- send the subscription notification message to the network slice charging function device.
