技术领域
本发明涉及数据通信领域技术中的计费系统及方法， 更具体的说， 涉及 一种适用于 CDMA通信系统中的离线计费系统和方法。
背景技术
随着运营商新一代无线网络的建设， 有了高速的无线接入， 随之也可以 为无线接入用户提供丰富的数据业务， 随着丰富业务的开展， 为避免运营商 成为简单的承载通道提供商，运营商需要对移动通信价值链进行控制与管理， 内容计费就成为运营商当前对计费的新需求。 图 1是现有技术中 CDMA2000 的网络结构图， 包括分组数据服务节点 PDSN(Packet Data Service Node), 认证授权计费服务器 AAAS(Authentication, Authorization, and Accounting Server) , 在线计费月良务器 OCS(Online Charging Server) , 终端， 基站子系统， 电路交换子系统。
当前普遍实现的内容计费方法， 仅限于支持基于 WAP ( Wireless Application Protocol ,无线应用协议）业务， 不能对其它类型的业务，如 HTTP ( Hypertext Transfer Protocol,超文本传输协议 ) , FTP ( File Transfer Protocol, 文件传输协议）， SMTP ( Simple Mail Transport Protocol, 简单邮件传输协议） /POP3 ( Post Office Protocol 3 , 邮局协议） /IMAP ( Interactive Mail Access Protocol, 互动邮件访问协议） ， 基于 RTP ( Real-Time Transport Protocol, 实时传输协议） /RTSP ( Real Time Stream Protocol , 实时流媒体协议） /RTCP ( Real-time Transport Control Protocol, 实时传输控制协议）等业务进行内容 计费。
为了区分内容计费和非内容计费还需要在接入网关之间引入解析平台， 进行报文的分拣工作从而达到内容计费报文和非内容计费分别进行计费的目 的， 这种方法， 使得解析平台的功能复杂且缺少灵活性。 因为解析平台需要 配置庞杂的过滤规则来分析报文， 使得内容计费功能在现有移动通信系统中 实现过于复杂。
同时， 现有技术中， 没有关于 CDMA2000系统中内容计费的离线计费系 统和方法， 也没有很简便的方法用来区分非内容计费和内容计费的问题。 发明内容

在分组数据网络上增设内容计费网关； 分组数据服务节点对离线计费用 户进行解析， 将离线计费用户的报文路由到内容计费网关； 内容计费网关对 离线计费报文进行解析， 并将解析出的业务类型釆用相应的计费规则进行计 费， 将得到的计费信息上报认证授权计费服务器； 认证授权计费服务器依据 内容计费网关上报的信息产生离线计费话单。
进一步地， 分组数据服务节点对离线计费用户， 能够进行基于流量、 时 长的普通计费； 也能够对离线计费用户选择不计费。
进一步地， 内容计费网关包括至少一个解析器负责对分组数据业务内容 进行解析， 根据内容使用不同的计费规则， 从而产生基于内容的计费结果。
进一步地， 所述方法进一步包括：

( 7 ) AAAS接收请求后， 应答 CCG;
( 8 )终端设备通过无线网络将用户的数据包发送给 PDSN;
( 9 ) PDSN判定是内容计费用户的数据包， 则将数据包转发给 CCG; 同时 PDSN可以对该用户的数据报文进行按时长和流量的计费方式进行 计费， 也可以选择不计费。
( 10 ) CCG对用户数据包进行解析， 识别出不同的业务类型， 并依据不 同的业务类型的计费规则进行计费， 并将用户使用各种业务相应计费信息携 带给 AAAS;
