Processing method of gateway charging and gateway

A processing method of gateway charging, wherein a gateway is divided into a first sub-gateway and a second sub-gateway, the first sub-gateway is configured to process a charging policy and control the second sub-gateway, and the second sub-gateway is configured to forward data and collect charging information, the method comprising:

• receiving, by the second sub-gateway, a first message sent by the first sub-gateway;
• respectively measuring charging information corresponding to a current status of the at least one access user according to a charging policy corresponding to the current status of the at least one access user, if the first message received by the second sub-gateway indicates the charging policy corresponding to the current status of the at least one access user and indicates a delay of sending measured charging information corresponding to all statuses of the at least one access user;
• and
• sending, by the second sub-gateway, the charging information corresponding to all the statuses of the at least one access user to the first sub-gateway if the second sub-gateway determines that the charging information corresponding to all the statuses of the at least one access user meets a reporting condition.

A gateway, wherein the gateway is divided into a first sub-gateway and a second sub-gateway, the first sub-gateway is configured to process a charging policy and control the second sub-gateway, the second sub-gateway is configured to forward data and collect charging information, and the first sub-gateway comprises:

• a processor;
• and
• a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a program to be executed by the processor, the program including instructions for:
• detecting a current status of at least one access user, if the first sub-gateway receives a status change message of the at least one access user;
• sending a first message to the second sub-gateway if the first sub-gateway determines that the at least one access user complies with a predefined rule of charging delayed reporting, wherein the first message indicates a charging policy corresponding to the current status of the at least one access user, and indicates, to the second sub-gateway, a delay of sending measured charging information corresponding to all the statuses of the at least one access user, so that the second sub-gateway measures the charging information according to the charging policy and delays sending the charging information;
• and
• receiving charging information corresponding to all the statuses of the at least one access user that meets a reporting condition and is sent by the second sub-gateway.
