Abstract

A method for updating service information in a Subscriber Profile Repository (SPR) is provided and includes: when the Internet Protocol Connectivity Access Network (IP-CAN) session of a User Equipment (UE) ends, the Policy and Charging Rules Function (PCRF) reports the usage amount information or rest amount information of the IP-CAN session to the SPR; the SPR updates the current stored rest amount information of the time-scale and/or traffic subscribed by the user. The present invention enables that the actual rest amount information of the time-scale and/or traffic subscribed by the user is stored, and consequently the exact rest amount of the time-scale and/or traffic can be obtained from the SPR when the IP-CAN session is established so as to constitute the Policy and Charging Control (PCC) policy more reasonably.

Description

Method and system for updating each information in the user's divisor

Wood field

This is related to the strategy and control of the wood domain in communication wood, and the method and system for updating the information in the user.

Background

1 shows that the third-generation partner (3GPP, 3 d Ge ea oe shp Poec)'s packet system (P , Evoved acke Syse ) is connected by universal mobile communication ( - TRA , Evoved ve sa Te es a Rado Access ewok , management sheep, ob ya ageme E y , each (-GW, Se V gGaewa), group (P-GW or P GW, Packe aa ewok Gaeway) users each ( , ome S bsc be e Ve ) 3GPP (AA, A he ca o A ho za oa dAcco g) each, strategy and rule function Hugh ( , Po cya dCh gg R esF co ) and other supporting components.

Strategy and Control (PCC o cya dCh g gCo o ) is part of P, and the functions of CC and functions in P can be distributed under the strategy and rules function, and the strategy and execution function (PC F, o cya dCh g gE ceme F co ) Exist in -GW, the bearer and event function (BB, Be e B d ga dEve Repo F co ) may exist in the -GW, and each function (AF, App ca o F co ) exists in (P , ee ooco ) and each, user

(SPR, S bsc p o of eRepos oy) can be combined. In 3GPP, P can be found by (A, Access o amme). Usually, P is connected to P (P-CA PCo ec v yAccess ewo ).

CC in all 3GPP P-CA, as shown in 2, the main responsibility of the strategy and the formulation of the rules, under the CC policy and rules will be developed under the Gx interface PC F, CF installation performs CC strategy, upper phase events, and unified interaction information.

The PCRF Gxx interface will be combined with each of the (Qo, Q a y O Se Vce) rules. BB RF, BB RF does not interact with the system, and only bears the load and phase events. The AF Rx interface provides the information to the PCRF, and the PR stores the user's information. The PCRF can interface with the PR user. The PC F Gy interface will be in the information system (OC, O e C g gSyse ), and the information will be transmitted through the Gz interface.

System (OFC, O eC g gSyse )

At present, in the CC, the information provided by the PCRF, the information on the PC F, and the information of the users in the PR, the CC policy, the underground CC policy PC F, and the policy information include Qo and information.

The CC has a usage monitoring function that can monitor the usage of user resource consumption control. PCRF and (and / or flow) PC F

Monitor to develop a CC strategy. At the end of the P-CA or PCF, the amount of PCF to the PCRF (consumed and / or "). The PCRF is terminated at the user's most P-CA end, and the usage information is stored on the PR.

However, since the PCRF is on the PR for the user, the P-CA is terminated, if there are still other P-CAs and in the P-CA, the new P-CA, this, the PR and/or the traffic The rest did not match, so the new P-CA usage was monitored.譬 In the new P-CA PCRF, there is no PCRF with the same P-CA (in the case of multiple PCRF),

The PCRF PR to the user's information does not move, and the PCRF develops the CC policy.

Therefore, now P-CA, PR to and / or "quantity of the remainder, has become an urgent need to be resolved. content

To solve the existing wood, this method provides the method and system for updating the information in the user, and now the P-CA, PR and the information.

5 Ways to solve the problem of updating the information in the user, including

Each user's connection is connected to the P-CA termination, policy and rule functions. The usage information of the PCRF P-CA or the remaining information on the user

The PR SPR receives the usage information or the remaining information of the P-CA, and the usage information of the received P-CA or the remaining information of the user and/or the traffic stored before the update.

Step, usage information includes P-CA and/or traffic usage information, including P-CA and/or traffic information, 5 steps, and multiple P-CAs exist.

P-CA is the most P-CA.

Step, the method in the PC F P-CA usage information or residual information on the PR before the P-CA termination, the strategy and the execution function of the PC F to PC F on the PC F and / or flow value usage information CF will The P-CA usage information or the remaining information on the PR step includes

If the 忖 and / or traffic is equal to the PR specified and / or traffic, then the usage information on the PC FCF, the usage information of the P-CA, the information on the amount of the PR PC F multiple times to the PCRF, then on the PCRF PC F Dosage, get the amount of 5 P-CA, and use the P-CA dosage information on PR or

PCRF PR specifies and/or traffic, minus the amount of P-CA, and obtains the PR specified and/or flow balance. The information of the obtained margin is used as the residual information of P-CA. Step, the PR receives the P-CA usage information, and the steps of updating the user's and/or traffic remaining information before updating include

The remaining information of the user and/or traffic stored before the PR, the amount of the pre-stored minus the amount of the P-CA, the remainder of the user's and/or traffic, the obtained margin information, the user of the pre-updated storage And/or the remaining information of the traffic.

Step, the remaining information of the P-CA received by the PR is updated. The steps of storing the user's and/or the remaining information of the traffic include

If the P-CA and/or traffic force is stored before the user's and/or traffic, the remaining information received by the PR, the remaining information of the user's and/or traffic stored before the update.

P-CA and / or flow force before the PR stored part of the user's and / or traffic margin, then the PR will be stored in the user's and / or the remainder of the traffic margin, the remainder of the P-CA Obtaining the balance of the user's and/or traffic, the obtained margin information, and the remaining information of the user's and/or traffic stored before the update.

Steps, updating the system of the user and including the information, including the policy and the rule function, the PC F, the user PR, where

PC F is connected to the P-CA in each user's connection, and the P-CA usage information or residual information is on the PR.

The PR receives the usage information or the remaining information of the P-CA, the received P-C A usage information or the remaining information, and updates the remaining information of the user and/or the flow stored before.

Step, usage information includes P-CA and/or traffic usage information. The remaining information includes information about the P-CA and/or traffic.

Steps, including strategy and execution functions

PC F on PC F P-CA usage information or residual information before PR, to PC F on C PCRF is the way to put the P-CA usage information or residual information on the PR.

And/or the flow rate is equal to the specified and/or flow rate of the PR, then the usage information on the PC FCF, the usage information of the P-CA, and the usage information of the PC PC F on the PC F multiple times, then on the PC F PC F Dosage, get the amount of P-CA, and use the P-CA dosage information on PR or

The PCRF PR specifies and/or the flow rate, minus the amount of P-CA, and obtains the PR specified and/or flow balance. The information of the obtained balance is used as the information of the P-CA.

Step, PR is the usage information of the P-CA received in the next mode, and the remaining information of the user and/or the traffic stored before the pre-update stored before the update is stored, and the remaining information of the pre-stored The amount of P-CA is subtracted from the user's and/or traffic, and the remaining information is obtained, and the remaining information of the user and/or traffic stored before the update is updated.

Step, PR is the usage information of the P-CA received in the next mode, and the remaining information of the user and/or traffic stored before the update is stored before the update and/or the user of the user stored before the traffic force PR and/or The remainder of the traffic, the remaining information received by the PR, the portion of the user's and/or traffic remaining before the update of the stored user's and/or traffic information P-CA and/or the traffic force PR, Then the PR will store the user and/or the remainder of the traffic margin, and the remainder of the P-CA, get the user's and/or traffic balance, the obtained margin information, and the user's sum stored before the update. / or the remaining information of the traffic.

On, Ben Mingtong terminates at P-CA, PCRF to PR The usage information of the P-CA or the remaining information specified by the PR and/or the traffic, the information of the user and/or the traffic stored on the PR PC F is updated, and the remaining information of the user and/or the traffic is stored, and In P-CA, PR to and/or traffic, so that the CC strategy is more rationally formulated.
