本发明涉及通信领域, 尤其涉及一种网关计费方法及网关。 背景技术
随着移动互联网业务的发展、 企业网业务的丰富、 以及多种制式的移 动接入网络的融合, 需要网关在完成基本的数据转发功能的基础上, 向更 加精细化的业务控制和计费方向发展, 从而支撑运营商更丰富的业务实施 和控制。
但是网关在向更精细化的业务控制和计费发展之中, 由于采用的平台 不同, 侧重点也有所不同, 其中, 通用计算平台更适于处理移动性管理、 会话管理等的控制信令而更加侧重于业务的控制处理; 而由专用硬件构成 的路由器平台在处理用户面的数据转发方面的性能十分强大, 一般超过通 用计算平台的十倍以上, 但这种平台处理信令的性能较弱。 所以现有技术 中网关侧重提高用户数据转发吞吐量, 就难以保证向更精细化的业务控制 和计费方向发展; 反之, 侧重向更精细化的业务控制和计费方向发展, 就 难以保证提高用户数据转发吞吐量,所以在网关的计费发展中存在着瓶颈。 发明内容
本发明的实施例提供一种网关计费方法及网关, 能够降低网关划分出 的两个子网关间信息的传输量。
为达到上述目的, 本发明的实施例采用如下技术方案:

第一子网关接收所述第二子网关发送的第二消息, 所述第二信息携带 有所述计费信息。
另一方面, 提供一种网关, 所述网关分为第一子网关和第二子网关, 所述第一子网关用于处理计费策略和控制所述第二子网关, 所述第二子网 关用于数据转发和计费信息的采集, 所述第二子网关包括:
第二接收单元, 用于根据所述第一消息指示的所述计费策略采集所述 接入用户的计费信息;

附图说明
为了更清楚地说明本发明实施例或现有技术中的技术方案, 下 面将对实施例或现有技术描述中所需要使用的附图作简单地介绍, 显而易见地, 下面描述中的附图仅仅是本发明的一些实施例, 对于 本领域普通技术人员来讲, 在不付出创造性劳动的前提下, 还可以 根据这些附图获得其他的附图。

图 6为本发明实施例提供的第二子网关的结构示意图;
图 7为本发明实施例提供的第一子网关的结构示意图;
图 8为本发明另一实施例提供的第一子网关的结构示意图。 具体实施方式
下面将结合本发明实施例中的附图, 对本发明实施例中的技术 方案进行清楚、 完整地描述, 显然, 所描述的实施例仅仅是本发明 一部分实施例, 而不是全部的实施例。 基于本发明中的实施例, 本 领域普通技术人员在没有作出创造性劳动前提下所获得的所有其他 实施例, 都属于本发明保护的范围。 本发明实施例提供的网关计费方法, 网关分为第一子网关和第 二子网关, 第一子网关用于处理计费策略和控制第二子网关, 第二子 网关用于数据转发, 如图 1 所示, 该方法为第二子网关侧的方法, 该方法步骤包括:
S 101、 第二子网关接收接收第一子网关发送的第一消息, 第一 消息指示接入用户的计费策略。
需要说明的是, 3GPP ( The 3rd Generation Partnership Project, 第三 代伙伴计划) 系统中, 两个子网关维护控制面业务和数据转发业务时, 需 要相互传递大量的计费条件信息, 如 QoS ( Quality of Service , 服务质量) 等和计费控制信息, 如上报的阈值和信封等相关的内容信息等, 从而加重 了网关解耦后两个子网关间接口中传递的计费信息内容, 增加了网关内部 计费功能处理的负荷。
示例性的, 网关分为第一子网关和第二子网关, 可以是将 UGW ( Unified Gateway , 统一网关) 按照转发面和控制面进行划分, 如 将 UGW 的功能拆分两大部分 UGW-C ( Unified Gateway Control plane , 统一网关控制面 ) 和 UGW-U ( Unified Gateway User plane , 统一网关用户面 ), 第一子网关可以是 UGW-C , 第二网关可以是 UGW-U。 其中, UGW-C主要完成用户接入、 策略控制和计费话单管 理等, UGW-U主要负责对数据进行转发, 并执行控制面下发的控制 和计费策略。
进一步的, 第一消息可以是一个标识, 如指示接入用户在预设 计费策略中对应计费策略的标识, 预设计费策略可以是第一子网关 与第二子网关公约的, 同一标识对应同一计费策略的列表, 如第一 子网关中设置有第一预设计费策略, 第二子网关中设置有第二预设 计费策略, 其中, 第一预设策略与第二预设策略仅需要针对相同的 计费策略设定相同的对应标识, 并不需要完全一致。 如第一预设计 费策略可以比第二预设计费策略多设置几个预设策略, 或者第一预 设计费策略与第二预设计费策略中计费策略的排列顺序不同等, 本 实施例仅以第一预设计费策略与第二预设计费策略相同为例进行说 明, 但不以此做任何限定。 第一预设计费策略和第二预设计费策略 如表 1。
Figure imgf000007_0001
表 1 若第一消息指示的是在漫游计费下的通话时长,则第一消息可 以是标识 1 101 , 所以第二子网关接收到第一子网关发送的第一消 息为 1 101 时, 就可以得知需要测量为漫游计费下通话时长的计费 信息。 除此之外, 标识还可以是名字, 如 "漫游计费下通话时长" 或其他数值或其他信息的标志等, 并不以表 1 的举例做任何限制, 进一步的, 标识还可以是上下文标识或者表项标识等, 以使得第二 子网关根据该标识索引上下文或表项以测量需要采集的计费信息。
可选的, 第一消息还可以是包括计费策略的表项表项, 如第一 消息可以为
漫游计费通话时长
需要说明的是, 此处仅以一种表项举例说明, 并不以此表项的 项目做任何限定。 进一步的, 标识或表项对应的接入用户, 都可以通过标识或表 项中的匹配值确定,所以表项中可以不指示接入用户而第二子网关 和第一子网关通过匹配值确定这个接入用户,以获知指示的计费策 略和测量并应答的计费信息是针对同一个接入用户的。
S 102、第二子网关根据第一消息指示的计费策略采集接入用户 的计费信息。
需要说明的是, 如果第二子网关接收到的第一消息为标识, 则 根据与第一子网关预定的第二预设计费策略确定需测量计费策略 以采集计费信息; 或者, 根据标识索引第一子网关和第二子网关中 公知的上下文或表项采集计费策略以执行计费策略, 采集计费信 息; 如果第二子网关接收到的第一消息为表项, 则根据该表项中的 计费策略采集计费信息。
进一步的, 如果第一消息为表项, 且表项中的计费策略为不计 费, 或者该表项仅为空, 则判断执行不计费的计费策略。
S 103、 第二子网关向第一子网关发送第二消息, 第二信息携带 有计费信息。
需要说明的是, 第二消息将采集的计费信息反馈给第一子网 关, 以使得第一子网关根据计费信息, 及计费信息的匹配值查询到 计费策略,在用户或其他外接设备请求时,对应计费策略生成话单, 向用户或外接设备进行反馈。 本发明实施例提供的网关计费方法,网关分为第一子网关和第 二子网关, 第一子网关用于处理计费策略和控制第二子网关, 第二子 网关用于数据转发如图 2 所示, 该方法为第一子网关侧的方法, 该 方法步骤包括:
5201、第一子网关根据网关配置或接入用户的信息确定接入用 户的计费策略。 需要说明的是,第一子网关为 UGW-C , UGW-C根据网关配置, 即根据在网关上静态配置用户、承载和业务对应的计费策略确定需 测量的接入用户的计费策略; 或在用户和业务激活时, 实时获取接 入用户信息确定需测量的接入用户的计费策略。
5202、 第一子网关向第二子网关发送第一消息, 第一消息指示 计费策略, 以使得第二子网关根据计费策略采集计费信息。 需要说明的是,第一消息可以是指示接入用户在第一预设计费 策略中对应的标识,如标识可以是预设计费策略的列表中对应计费 策略的标识, 以使得第二子网关根据该标识, 查询第二预设计费策 略, 从而采集计费策略; 第一消息还可以是上下文中对应计费策略 的标识或者表项中对应计费策略的标识等; 另外, 第一消息还可以 是一个表项, 如包括计费策略的表项。 值得指出的是, 由于第一子 网关向第二子网关发送的第一消息,与第二子网关接收的第一消息 相同, 根据第一消息采集计费策略的方法已在上述实施例中展开, 在此不再展开描述。
S203、 第一子网关接收第二子网关发送的第二消息, 第二信息 携带有计费信息。
本发明实施例提供的网关计费方法,第一子网关确定接入用户 的计费策略, 向第二子网关发送指示计费策略的第一消息; 第二子 网关接收第一消息后据此采集计费信息;向第一子网关发送携带该 计费信息的第二消息; 第一子网关接收第二消息。 这样一来, 第一 子网关可以只处理计费信息和控制第二子网关, 而第二子网关可以 只测量数据并发送测量结果, 其中, 第一子网关和第二子网关之间 发送消息, 指示需要的计费信息和携带采集的计费信息, 而不再需 要传送计费条件信息和计费控制信息等多项内容,从而减少了两个 子网关接口中计费信息的传送量。 本发明另一实施例提供的网关计费方法, 如图 3所示, 本实施 例以网关为 UGW , 第一子网关为 UGW-C、 第二子网关为 UGW-U 举例, 但不以此做任何限定, 该方法步骤包括:
5301、 UGW-C根据接入用户的用户信息、 接入网络信息和连 接网络信息确定 UGW-C在本次用户接入中承担的第一网关角色。 需要说明的是, 接入用户的用户信息包括用户处于漫游状态、 或用户处于本地非漫游状态;连接网络信息包括 LBO ( Local Break Out , 本地路由 )、 或 Home-routed归属地路由, 其中, LBO指接入 用户在漫游地, 数据流量从漫游地出去; 而 Home-routed指接入用 户在漫游地, 数据流量通过漫游地回到归属地再出去。 UGW-C 在 本次用户接入中承担的角色可以是 GGSN ( Gateway GPRS Support Node , 网关通用分组无线业务支持节点)、 SGW ( Serving Gateway , 服务网关)、 PGW ( Packet Data Network Gateway , 分组数据网关) 或 SGW+PGW( Packet Data Network Gateway+ Packet Data Network Gateway , 既是服务网关又是分组数据网关)。
5302、 UGW-C选择与第一网关角色对应的第二子网关的第二 网关角 色。
示例性的, 根据 UGW-C在本次用户接入中承担的第一网关角 色选择 UGW-U对应的第二网关角 色。 若 UGW-C本次第一网关角 色为 SGW , 通过接口与 PGW 连接后, 选择第二角 色为 SGW 的 UGW-U。 或者 UGW-C的第一角色为 GGSN或 SGW+PGW时, 选 择第二角色为 GGSN、 PGW或 SGW+PGW的 UGW-U。 需要说明的是 S303与 S301和 S302没有顺序关系, 可以按照 顺序执行, 也可以同时执行, 还可以先进行 S303 再执行 S301 和 S302。
5303、 UGW-C根据网关配置或接入用户的信息确定接入用户 的计费策略。
5304、 UGW-C 向选择的 UGW-U 的第二网关角色发送标识, 标识为计费策略在第一预设计费策略中对应的标识,第一预设计费 策略设置在第一子网关中。 需要说明的是, 如表 2所示, UGW-C和 UGW-U在 UGW-C向 UGW-U 发送标识之前, 均配置预设计费策略, 其中 UGW-C 中设 置为第一预设计费策略, UGW-U 中设置为第二预设计费策略, 第 一预设计费策略与第二预设计费策略的关系在上述实施例中展开, 在此不再贅述。 进一步的, 第一预设计费策略和第二预设计费策略 按照共同的约定对预设计费策略中计费策略对应设定标识。 其中, 计费策略可以在 UGW-C和 UGW-U上单独管理, 即计费策略可以 仅为流量, 通话时间等; 也可以是和 QoS 等控制策略组合, 即计 费策略可以是根据当前服务质量, 如带宽和延时等而不同的流量 等。 设定的标识可以是该计费策略在预设计费策略中对应的 ID ( Identity , 身份标识码) 数值, ID名或者其它信息标志。
Figure imgf000010_0001
表 2
进一步的, 标识还可以是 UGW-C 用于查找计费策略, 如接入 用户、 承载和业务信息存储的上下文中对应不同计费策略的标识, 此处以标识为第一预设计费策略中计费策略的对应二进制码为例说 明, 标识为上下文或表项标识时, 也可以根据对应关系进行查找计 费策略, 并不以此做任何限定。
优选的, 当 UGW-C需要更新 Q O S或计费等控制信息时, 可以 将更新后的需要测量的计费策略对应选择新的标识, 再次向 UGW-U 发送新的标识, 以使得 U G W-U根据新的标识更新测量。
5305、 UGW-U接收 UGW-C发送的标识。
需要说明的是, 由于第一预设计费策略与第二预设计费策略中 计费策略对应相同标识, 因此标识为第一预设计费策略中计费策略 对应的标识, UGW-U可以根据该标识在第二预设计费策略中, 如表 2中查找需要计费策略, 测量采集计费信息, 如标识为 " 1001 " 时, 测量带宽为 2M时的流量大小等。 进一步的, 若标识为上下文标识, UGW-U则通过查找上下文测量计费信息。
5306、 UGW-U 根据标识在第二预设计费策略中查找到计费策 略, 并根据计费策略采集接入用户的计费信息。
示例性的, 如表 2所示, 若标识为 " 1001 " , UGW-U则测量流 量大小, 若标识为 " 1010" 或 " 1000" , UGW-U 则测量通话时长, 不同的是, 若标识为 " 1010" UGW-U测量的是免费的通话时长, 若 标识为 " 1000" UGW-U测量的是漫游计费的通话时长。
需要说明的是, UGW-U根据第一消息指示的计费策略采集的计 费信息为计费或不采集计费信息,如,在 UGW-C的第一角 色为 SGW , 又通过 S5接口与 PGW相连接时, UGW-C可以判断 UGW-U进行不 计费的处理, 其中, 第一消息可以指示接入用户的计费策略为不进 行计费, 或第一消息可以不指示计费策略, UGW-U根据第一消息指 示的计费策略不采集计费信息; 若 UGW-C 的第一角 色为 SGW , 又 通过 S8接口与 PGW相连接,则 UGW-C可以判断 UGW-U进行漫游 计费的处理, UGW-U根据第一消息指示的计费策略采集计费信息。 进一步的, 3GPP 中协议关于 S5接口和 S 8接口规定, 通过 S5接口 与 PGW相连接时可以计费, 可以不计费, 通过 S8接口与 PGW相 连接时漫游计费, UGW-C可以据此判断是计费或不计费, 以发送不 用的第一消息指示 UGW-C采集或不采集计费信息,但不以这种判断 方法为限定。
优选的, 当 UGW-C需要更新 Qos或计费等控制信息时, 可以 将更新后的计费策略对应选择新的标识, 再次由 UGW-C向 UGW-U 发送新的标识, UG W-U接收到新的标识, 根据新的标识对应的计费 测量更新测量的计费信息。
5307、 UGW-U判断计费信息的值大于预设阈值, 则向 UGW-C 发送第二消息, 第二信息携带有计费信息。
示例性的, 预设阈值可以是测量流量达到 60M , 也可以是通话 时长超过 120min等, 如当计费信息为 60. 1 M时, UGW-U向 UGW-C 发送携带有 60.1 M 流量大小的第二消息。 设置预设阈值可以减少 UGW-U向 UGW-C发送第二消息的次数, 以减少 UGW-U与 UGW-C 的信息往来, 从而减轻计费处理的负荷。
进一步的, 若 UGW-U不采集计费信息, 则可以向 UGW-C发送 不携带计费信息的第二消息,以通知 UGW-C未采集该接入用户的计 费信息; 或者, UGW-U不向 UGW-C发送第二消息。
5308、 UGW-C接收 UGW-U发送的第二消息。
需要说明的是, UGW-C根据接收的第二消息采集计费信息, 对 该计费信息进行处理。 如第二消息包含 UGW-C发送给 UGW-U的标 识和计费信息, 根据该标识索引第一预设计费策略, 并将索引到的 计费策略信息填写到上下文中, 当 UGW-C 需要生成话单记录时, UGW-C计费单元读取上下文中的信息, 生成话单; 进一步的, 若标 识为指示计费策略对应上下文的标识, 则根据该标识索引上下文, 并将计费策略信息填写到上下文中, 当 UGW-C 需要生成话单记录 时, UGW-C计费单元读取上下文中的信息, 生成话单。
值得指出的是, 上述标识和第二消息中会携带有匹配值, 该匹 配值可以指示计费策略对应的匹配位置, 以使得 UG W-C和 UGW-U 获得用户信息, 进而使得 UGW-C和 UGW-U得知对相同的用户进行 控制和数据转发; 或者, 上述标识和第二消息中可以携带有用户 ID , 以使得 UGW-C 和 UGW-U 获得用户信息, 进而使得 UGW-C 和 UGW-U得知对相同的用户进行控制和数据转发。
本发明实施例提供的网关计费方法, UGW-C确定接入用户的计 费策略, 向 UGW-U发送指示计费策略的第一消息; UGW-U接收第 一消息后据此采集计费信息;向 U G W - C发送携带该计费信息的第二 消息; UGW-C 接收第二消息。 这样一来, UG W-C 可以只处理计费 信息和控制 UGW-U , 而 UGW-U可以只测量数据并发送测量结果, 其中, UGW-C和 UGW-U之间发送消息, 指示需要的计费信息和携 带采集的计费信息, 而不再需要传送计费条件信息和计费控制信息 等多项内容, 从而减少了两个子网关接口中计费信息的传送量。
本发明另一实施例提供的网关计费方法, 如图 4所示, 本实施 例以第一子网关为 UGW-C、 第二子网关为 UG W-U举例, 但不以此 做任何限定, 该方法步骤包括:
S401、 UGW-C根据接入的用户信息、 接入网络信息和连接网络 信息确定 UGW-C接入承担的第一角色为 SGW , 且通过 S5 接口与 PGW连接, 以使得 UGW-U确定进行不计费的处理。
UGW-C根据接入的用户信息、接入网络信息和连接网络信息确 定 UGW-C接入承担的第一角 色还可以是 PGW , GGSN等, 本实施 例仅以 UGW-C担任第一角色为 SGW , 且通过 S5接口与 PGW连接 确定 UG W-U 不采集接入用户的计费信息举例说明, UG W-U 根据 其他方式确定不采集接入用户的计费信息, 如通过接收的第一消息 确定不采集接入用户的计费信息等均在保护范围之内, 不以本实施 例举例的场景为限定。
S402、 UGW-C向 UGW-U发送表项, 表项包括计费策略。
需要说明的是, 由于 UGW-U 进行不计费处理, 发送的表项可 以为 接入用户 I 接入用户 通话时长
这样一来, UGW-U可以通过接收的表项判别计费策略, 从而根 据计费策略获得计费信息, 如采集接入用户的通话时长。
5403、 UGW-U接收并解析表项内容, 确定做不计费的处理。 需要说明的是, 做不计费的处理可以包括对不计费的计费信息 进行测量, 如测量免费的通话时长, 也可以不做处理, 即不对免费 的该接入用户的通话或者网络流量进行测量。
5404、 UGW-U 根据表项中的计费策略采集接入用户的计费信 息。
示例性的, UGW-U根据表项中做不计费的处理的计费策略, 测 量通话时长, 如本地接听免费, 计费策略为测量本地接听的通话时 长, UGW-U根据 UGW-C担任第一角色为 SGW , 且通过 S5接口与 PGW连接判断做不计费处理; 或者根据表项中计费策略为空确定做 不计费处理, 或者根据计费策略为不计费进行不计费处理等。 UGW-U向 UGW-C发送第二消息。
5405、 UGW-U向 UGW-C发送携带有计费信息的第二消息。 示例性的, 若 UGW-U 对不计费的计费信息进行测量, 该第二 消息中携带测量结果, 若 UGW-U 对不计费的计费信息不做处理, 该第二消息可以是应答消息, 只通知 UGW-C , UGW-U 已经收到了 表项, 并未进行测量等, 或者也可以不发送第二消息。
5406、 UGW-C接收 UGW-U发送的第二消息。
需要说明的是, UGW-C若接收到的第二消息为应答消息, 未携 带计费信息, 则 UGW-C将按照计费信息为零进行处理, UGW-C若 接收到的第二消息携带有计费信息, 该计费信息为 0 , 则将计费信 息为 0作为计费结果进行处理, UGW-C若未接收到的第二消息, 依 旧将计费信息作为 0进行处理,但是由于 UGW-C不接收第二消息便 无法判断是 UGW-U未发送还是 UGW-U未及发送第二消息, 所以通 常不采用不发送第二消息的方式处理不计费的情况, UGW-C对第二 消息的处理方法在上述实施例中已经展开, 在此不再贅述。
本发明实施例提供的网关计费方法, UGW-C确定接入用户的计 费策略, 向 UGW-U发送指示计费策略的第一消息; UGW-U接收第 一消息后据此采集计费信息;向 U G W - C发送携带该计费信息的第二 消息; UGW-C 接收第二消息。 这样一来, UG W-C 可以只处理计费 信息和控制 UGW-U , 而 UGW-U可以只测量数据并发送测量结果, 其中, UGW-C和 UGW-U之间发送消息, 指示需要的计费信息和携 带采集的计费信息, 而不再需要传送计费条件信息和计费控制信息 等多项内容, 从而减少了两个子网关接口中计费信息的传送量。 本发明实施例提供的网关 1 , 如图 5所示, 包括第一子网关 60 和第二子网关 50 , 其中, 第二子网关 50 , 如图 6所示, 包括:
第二接收单元 501 , 用于根据第一消息指示的计费策略采集接 入用户的计费信息。
需要说明的是, 第一消息可以是指示接入用户在预设计费策略 中对应需测量的计费策略的标识; 还可以是包含接入用户与接入用 户对应需测量的计费信息的表项。
第二处理单元 502 , 用于根据第二接收单元 501 接收的第一消 息指示的计费策略采集接入用户的计费信息。
示例性的,若第二接收单元 501接收第一子网关 60发送的第一 消息, 第一消息为计费策略在第一预设计费策略中对应的标识, 第 一预设计费策略设置在第一子网关 60 中, 那么第二处理单元 502可 以根据第二接收单元 501 接收的标识在第二预设计费策略中查找到 计费策略, 并根据计费策略采集接入用户的计费信息, 第二预设计 费策略设置在第二子网关 50 中, 其中, 第一预设计费策略与第二预 设计费策略中计费策略对应相同标识。
或者,若第二接收单元 501接收第一子网关 60发送的第一消息 , 第一消息为包括计费策略的表项, 那么第二处理单元 502 可以根据 表项中的计费策略采集接入用户的计费信息。 或者, 第二接收单元 501接收的第一消息若指示接入用户的计 费策略为不进行计费或不指示计费策略, 则第二处理单元 502 不采 集接入用户的计费信息。
第二发送单元 503 , 用于向第一子网关 60发送第二消息, 第二 信息携带有第二处理单元 502采集的计费信息。
进一步的, 若第二处理单元 502判断采集的计费信息的值大于 预设阈值, 则第二发送单元 503向第一子网关 60发送第二消息, 第 二信息携带有计费信息。
本第二子网关 50可以使用上述实施例提供的方法进行工作, 工作方法与实施例提供的方法相同, 在此不再贅述。
如图 7所示, 第一子网关 60 , 包括:
第一处理单元 601 , 用于根据网关配置或接入用户的信息确定 接入用户的计费策略。
需要说明的是, 第一子网关 60根据网关配置, 即在网关 1上静 态配置用户、 承载和业务对应的计费策略。 或在用户和业务激活时, 实时获取接入用户信息确定接入用户的计费策略。
第一发送单元 602 , 用于向第二子网关 50发送第一消息, 第一 消息指示第一处理单元 601确定的计费策略, 以使得第二子网关 50 根据计费策略采集计费信息。
示例性的, 第一发送单元 602向第二子网关 50发送第一消息, 第一消息为计费策略在第一预设计费策略中对应的标识, 第一预设 计费策略设置在第一子网关 60中; 或者, 第一发送单元 602向第二 子网关 50发送第一消息, 第一消息为包括计费策略的表项。
第一接收单元 603 , 用于接收第二子网关 50发送的第二消息, 第二信息携带有计费信息。
进一步的, 第一子网关 60 , 如图 8所示, 还包括:
选择单元 604 , 用于第一处理单元 601 根据接入用户的用户信 息、接入网络信息和连接网络信息确定第一子网关 60承担的第一网 关角 色后, 选择与第一处理单元 601 确定的第一网关角 色对应的第 二子网关 50 的第二网关角 色; 以使得发送单元 602 向第二子网关 50的第二网关角 色发送第一消息。
进一步的, 第一处理单元 601 若确定选择单元 604选择的第一 网关角色和第二网关角色下不进行计费处理,则使第一发送单元 602 发送的第一消息指示接入用户的计费策略为不进行计费或不指示计 费策略。
本发明实施例提供的网关 1 , 第一子网关 60确定接入用户的计费策 略, 向第二子网关 50发送指示计费策略的第一消息; 第二子网关 50接收 第一消息后据此采集计费信息;向第一子网关 60发送携带该计费信息的第 二消息; 第一子网关 60接收第二消息。 这样一来, 第一子网关 60可以只 处理计费信息和控制第二子网关 50 , 而第二子网关 50可以只测量数据并 发送测量结果, 其中, 第一子网关 60和第二子网关 50之间发送消息, 指 示需要的计费信息和携带采集的计费信息, 而不再需要传送计费条件信息 和计费控制信息等多项内容, 从而减少了两个子网关接口中计费信息的传 送量。
以上所述, 仅为本发明的具体实施方式, 但本发明的保护范围 并不局限于此, 任何熟悉本技术领域的技术人员在本发明揭露的技 术范围内, 可轻易想到变化或替换, 都应涵盖在本发明的保护范围 之内。 因此, 本发明的保护范围应所述以权利要求的保护范围为准。
