Description

一种网关计费处理方法及网关 技术领域
本发明涉及通信领域，尤其涉及一种网关计费处理方法及网关。 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很难并重的保证控制和测 量计费， 所以在计费的处理方法上存在着瓶颈。
发明内容
本发明的实施例提供一种网关计费处理方法及网关， 将网关划 分为两个子网关， 能够降低两个子网关之间信息的交互频率， 从而降低网 关处理的负荷。
为达到上述目 的， 本发明的实施例采用如下技术方案：
一方面， 提供一种网关计费处理方法， 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， 所述方法包括：
所述第一子网关若接收至少一个接入状态变化消息， 则检测所 述至少一个接入用户的当前状态；
所述第一子网关判断若所述至少一个接入用户符合预设计费延 迟上报规则， 则向所述第二子网关发送第一消息， 其中， 所述第一 消息指示所述至少一个接入用户 当前状态对应的计费策略， 并指示 所述第二子网关延迟发送测量的所述至少一个接入用户所有状态对 应的的计费信息， 以使得所述第二子网关按照所述计费策略测量并 延迟发送所述计费信息；
所述第一子网关接收所述第二子网关发送的满足上报条件的所 述至少一个接入用户所有状态对应的的计费信息。
一方面， 提供一种网关计费处理方法， 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， 所述方法包括：
所述第二子网关接收所述第一子网关发送的第一消息； 所述第二子网关接收的所述第一消息若指示至少一个接入用户 当前状态对应的计费策略， 并指示延迟发送测量的所述至少一个接 入用户所有状态对应的计费信息， 则根据所述至少一个接入用户 当 前状态对应的计费策略分别测量所述至少一个接入用户 当前状态对 应的计费信息；
所述第二子网关判断若所述至少一个接入用户的所有状态对应 的计费信息满足上报条件， 则向所述第一子网关发送所述至少一个 接入用户所有状态对应的计费信息。
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， 第二子 网关用于数据转发和计费信息的采集， 所述第一子网关包括：
处理单元， 用于若第一接收单元接收至少一个接入用户上线消 息、 新建承载消息或状态变化指示消息， 则检测所述至少一个接入 用户的当前状态；
发送单元， 用于若所述处理单元判断所述至少一个接入用户符 合预设计费延迟上报规则， 则向所述第二子网关发送第一消息， 其 中， 所述第一消息指示所述至少一个接入用户 当前状态对应的计费 策略， 并指示所述第二子网关延迟发送测量的所述至少一个接入用 户所有状态对应的的计费信息， 以使得所述第二子网关按照所述计 费策略测量并延迟发送所述计费信息；
第二接收单元， 用于接收所述第二子网关发送的满足上报条件 的所述至少一个接入用户所有状态对应的的计费信息。
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， 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：
接收单元， 用于接收所述第一子网关发送的第一消息； 测量单元， 用于所述接收单元接收的所述第一消息若指示至少 一个接入用户 当前状态对应的计费策略， 并指示延迟发送测量的所 述至少一个接入用户所有状态对应的计费信息， 则根据所述至少一 个接入用户 当前状态对应的计费策略分别测量所述至少一个接入用 户当前状态对应的计费信息；
发送单元， 用于若处理单元判断所述至少一个接入用户的所有 状态对应的计费信息满足上报条件， 则向所述第一子网关发送所述 测量单元测量的所述至少一个接入用户所有状态对应的计费信息。

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 5为本发明实施例提供的第一子网关的结构示意图； 图 6为本发明实施例提供的第二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处理方法， 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和计费信息的采集， 如图 1 所示， 该方法为第 一子网关侧的方法， 该方法步骤包括：
S 101、 第一子网关若接收至少一个接入用户状态变化消息， 则 检测至少一个接入用户的当前状态。
示例性的， 状态变化消息可以为接入用户的上线消息、 接入用 户的新建承载消息或状态变化指示消息等。
需要说明的是， 第一子网关主要用于完成用户接入、 策略控制 和计费话单管理以及控制第二子网关， 第一子网关可以使用通用计 算平台进行移动性管理、 会话管理等的控制信令的控制处理， 第二 子网关主要用于对数据进行转发并执行第一子网关发送的控制信令 或其他消息， 第二子网关可以使用专用硬件构成的路由器平台， 这 样一来， 将网关分为两个子网关分别进行控制和数据处理， 便不再 局限于现有技术中网关或侧重于精细化的业务控制和计费方向发 展， 或侧重于数据转发吞吐量， 使得网关可以在向精细化的业务控 制和计费方向发展的同时增大数据转发的吞吐量。
示例性的， 若接入用户 A和接入用户 B上线或新建了承载， 第 一子网关则检测接入用户 A和接入用户 B的当前状态， 接入用户上 线一般使用默认承载， 但是当接入用户有其他需求而默认承载无法 满足接入用户需求时， 接入用户则新建专用承载。 或者接入用户 A 和接入用户 B的状态均发生了改变，如接入用户 A的 Qos( Quality of Service , 服务质量 )增强了， 而接入用户 B的 Qos减弱了， 若某一基站检 测到接入用户 A和接入用户 B的 Qos发生了改变， 则向第一子网关 发送指示消息， 用于指示接入用户 A和接入用户 B 当前的 Qos发生 变化， 那么第一子网关对接入用户 A和接入用户 B的当前状态 （ 即 当前 Qos ) 进行检测， 以分别得到接入用户 A 当前、 增强了的 Qos 和接入用户 B 当前、 减弱了的 Qos。
S 102、 第一子网关判断若至少一个接入用户符合预设计费延迟上报 规则， 则向第二子网关发送第一消息。
其中， 第一消息指示至少一个接入用户 当前状态对应的计费策 略， 并指示第二子网关延迟发送测量的至少一个接入用户所有状态 对应的的计费信息， 以使得第二子网关按照计费策略测量至少一个 接入用户的当前状态对应的计费信息并延迟发送至少一个接入用户 所有状态对应的计费信息。
优选的， 第一子网关判断若接入用户 A和接入用户 B都是签约用 户， 如接入用户 A为通话包月用户， 签约信息为 500min本地主叫免费， 接入用户 B流量包月用户，签约信息为每月可使用 80M的免费流量， 则判 断接入用户 A符合预设预设计费延迟上报规则中通话计费延迟上报条件， 判断接入用户 B 符合预设预设计费延迟上报规则中上网计费延迟上报条 件， 则向第二子网关发送第一消息， 第一消息指示接入用户 A当前状态对 应的计费策略和指示第二子网关延迟发送根据接入用户 A的计费策略测量 得到的计费信息， 同时该第一消息还指示接入用户 B当前状态对应的计费 策略和指示第二子网关延迟发送根据接入用户 B的计费策略测量得到的计 费信息。
示例性的， 第一子网关也可以分别发送两条第一消息， 一条指示接入 用户 A当前状态对应的计费策略和指示第二子网关延迟发送根据接入用户 A的计费策略测量得到的计费信息； 另一条指示接入用户 B当前状态对应 的计费策略和指示第二子网关延迟发送根据接入用户 B的计费策略测量得 到的计费信息。
需要说明的是， 第二子网关接收到第一消息后， 分别根据接入 用户 A和接入用户 B的计费策略测量计费信息， 如测量接入用户 A的通 话时长和接入用户 B的上网时间。并将接入用户 A当前状态下的通话时长 和接入用户 B当前状态下的上网时间进行保存， 当接入用户 A当前状态下 的通话时长或接入用户 B当前状态下的上网时间满足上报条件的时候， 如， 接入用户 A本月剩余免费通话时间为 200min, 当接入用户 A在前状 态下的通话时长达到 200min时， 将接入用户 A的当前状态对应测量得到 的计费信息发送给第一子网关。
S 103、第一子网关接收第二子网关发送的满足上报条件的至少一 个接入用户所有状态对应的的计费信息。
示例性的， 第二子网关测量各个接入用户的计费信息， 如测量 接入用户 A在 Qos较差的状态下通话 l OOmin , 或接入用户 A和接 入用户 B后切换到了 Qos较强的状态又通话 400min , 而接入用户 A 的上报条件是通话时长满 500min向第一子网关发送计费信息， 则测 量接入用户 A在 Qos较差的状态下通话 l OOmin不向一子网关发送 计费信息， 而接入用户 A和接入用户 B后切换到了 Qos较强的状态 又通话 400min时则向第一子网关发送： 接入用户 A在 Qos较差的 状态下通话 l OOmin和 Qos较强的状态通话 400min。 或者， 如果接 入用户 A 在当前状态下仅通话了 350min , 由于 100min+350min < 500min , 第二子网关延迟向第一子网关发送计费信息， 如果之后接 入用户 A又在 Qos—般的状态下通话 80min , 那么在接入用户 A在 Qos —般的状态下通话 50min 时， 向第一子网关发送： 接入用户 A 在 Qos较差的状态下通话 100min、 Qos较强的状态通话 350min 以 及 Qos —般的状态下通话 50min。 此处仅以接入用户 A在 Qos较差 的状态下开始通话和在 Qos发生变化时通话为例进行说明， 其他条 件改变造成接入用户状态变化的情况均在保护范围之内。
本发明实施例提供的网关计费处理方法， 网关分为第一子网关和第二 子网关， 第一子网关若接收至少一个接入用户状态变化消息， 则检测当前 状态， 判断若至少一个接入用户符合预设计费延迟上报规则， 则向第二子 网关发送指示接入用户计费策略和延迟上报计费信息的第一消息， 使得第 二子网关按照计费策略测量计费信息， 并延迟发送测量的计费信息， 第一 子网关接收第二子网发送的计费信息。 这样一来， 由于第一子网关可以指 示第二子网关对计费实时性不高的接入用户的计费信息进行延迟发送， 第 二子网关在满足预设上报条件后， 才向第一子网关发送计费信息， 而不是 测量完成每一状态下的计费信息后都实时发送， 因此减少了两个子网关间 发送数据信息的频率， 从而避免了高频率的传输大量的测量数据， 进而降 低网关处理的负荷。 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 网关用于数据转发和计费信息的采集， 如图 2所示， 该方法为第二子 网关侧的方法， 该方法步骤包括：
S20 第二子网关接收第一子网关发送的第一消息。
S202、 第二子网关接收的第一消息若指示至少一个接入用户 当 前状态对应的计费策略， 并指示延迟发送测量的至少一个接入用户 所有状态对应的计费信息， 则根据至少一个接入用户 当前状态对应 的计费策略分别测量至少一个接入用户当前状态对应的计费信息。 示例性的， 若第二子网关接收到的第一消息指示第一消息指示接 入用户 A当前状态对应的计费策略和指示第二子网关延迟发送根据接入用 户 A的计费策略测量得到的计费信息， 同时该第一消息还指示接入用户 B 当前状态对应的计费策略和指示第二子网关延迟发送根据接入用户 B的计 费策略测量得到的计费信息； 或者， 第二子网关接收到两条第一消息， 一 条指示接入用户 A当前状态对应的计费策略和指示第二子网关延迟发送根 据接入用户 A的计费策略测量得到的计费信息，另一条指示接入用户 B当 前状态对应的计费策略和指示第二子网关延迟发送根据接入用户 B的计费 策略测量得到的计费信息。 第二子网关则根据接入用户 A当前状态对应 的计费策略测量接入用户 A的计费信息，根据接入用户 B当前状态对应的 计费策略测量接入用户 B的计费信息。
S203、 第二子网关判断若至少一个接入用户的所有状态对应的 计费信息满足上报条件， 则向第一子网关发送至少一个接入用户所 有状态对应的计费信息。
需要说明的是， 第二子网关分别测量至少一个接入用户的计费 信息， 可以针对所有的接入用户预设上报条件为通话时长 100min、 流量 30M等， 也可以依据签约信息对每一类签约用户进行设置， 如 通话包月 500min 的接入用户的上报条件为通话时长 l OOmin 或 250min等， 本实施例以针对用户设置上 ^艮条件为通话时长 100min、 流量 30M为例进行说明， 并不以此做任何限定。
示例性的， 若第二子网关判断测量接入用户 A的通话时长是否符 合上报条件和接入用户 B 的上网时间是否符合上报条件。 如上报条件为 通话时长 100min、 流量 30M , 接入用户 A通话时间为 400min , 则 在接入用户 A 通话时间达到 l OOmin 时发送一次当前状态对应的计 费信息， 在接入用户 A 通话时间达到 200min 时发送一次当前状态 对应的计费信息， 以此类推至接入用户 A通话结束。 接入用户 B上 网使用流量 19M , 不满足流量 30M的上报条件， 且在当前状态的前 一状态下， 接入用户 B也使用了 4M的流量， 由于接入用户 B的这 两种状态下使用的流量和不满足流量 30M的上报条件， 第二子网关 可以对这两种状态下测量得到的计费信息， 即流量值进行对应每一 状态进行保存，如果再次接收到测量接入用户 B的流量的计费策略， 则继续策略接入用户 B的流量，若这一次接入用户 B使用了 20M的 流量， 那么在接入用户使用了 7M流量的时候， 接入用户 B 的流量 满足上报条件， 第二子网关向第一子网关发送接入用户 B在所有状 态、 及所有状态对应的流量。
本发明实施例提供的网关计费处理方法， 网关分为第一子网关和第二 子网关， 第一子网关若接收至少一个接入用户状态变化消息， 则检测当前 状态， 判断若至少一个接入用户符合预设计费延迟上报规则， 则向第二子 网关发送指示接入用户计费策略和延迟上报计费信息的第一消息， 使得第 二子网关按照计费策略测量计费信息， 并延迟发送测量的计费信息， 第一 子网关接收第二子网发送的计费信息。 这样一来， 由于第一子网关可以指 示第二子网关对计费实时性不高的接入用户的计费信息进行延迟发送， 第 二子网关在满足预设上报条件后， 才向第一子网关发送计费信息， 而不是 测量完成每一状态下的计费信息后都实时发送， 因此减少了两个子网关间 发送数据信息的频率， 从而避免了高频率的传输大量的测量数据， 进而降 低网关处理的负荷。
本发明另一实施例提供的网关计费处理方法， 如图 3 所示， 本 实施例以网关为 UGW ( Unified Gateway , 统一网关）， 第一子网关 为 UGW-C ( Unified Gateway Control plane , 统一网关控制面 ）、 第 二子网关为 UGW-U ( Unified Gateway User plane , 统一网关用户面） 举例 , 但不以此做任何限定， 其他网关如 PG W ( Packet Data Network Gateway ,分组数据网关）， SGW( Serving Gateway ,服务网关）， PDSN ( Packet Data Serving Node ,分组数据服务节点）或 WASN( Wireless Access Service Network , 无线接入服务网络）， 可以划分为控制面和 用户面， 即转发面的网关均在保护范围之内， 该方法步骤包括：
S301、 UGW-C若接收至少一个接入用户上线消息、 新建承载消 息， 则检测所述至少一个接入用户的当前状态。
需要说明的是， 如果 UGW-C获取的是接入用户 A的接入消息， 即接入用户 A上线， 则确定接入用户 A使用的是默认承载， 而在一 些特定条件下， 如 Qos较差时， 接入用户 B需要观看视频， 但是默 认承载无法满足接入用户 B需要观看视频的请求， 则需要新建一个 专用承载， 专用承载的带宽较大可以满足接入用户 B需要上网观看 视频的请求。
进一步的， 本实施例仅以接入用户上线消息、 新建承载消息为 例进行说明， 但下述情况也在保护范围之内， 即 UGW-C若接收至少 一个接入用户状态变化指示消息， 如接入用户 A , 且接入用户 A之 前并不符合预设计费延迟上报规则， 而本次状态变化检测接入用户 A的当前状态后， 确定接入用户 A合预设计费延迟上报规则， 则向 UGW-U发送第一消息指示接入用户 A当前状态对应的计费策略，并 指示 UGW-U延迟发送测量的接入用户 A所有状态对应的的计费信 息， 在此不再赘述。
S302、 UGW-C判断若至少一个接入用户符合预设计费延迟上报 规则， 则向 UGW-U 发送第一消息， 其中， 第一消息指示至少一个 接入用户 当前状态对应的计费策略， 并指示 UGW-U 延迟发送测量 的至少一个接入用户所有状态对应的的计费信息。
示例性的，若 UGW-C判断接入用户 A和接入用户 B都是签约用户， 如接入用户 A为通话包月用户， 签约信息为 500min本地主叫免费， 接入 用户 B流量包月用户，签约信息为每月可使用 80M的免费流量，则 UG W-C 确定接入用户 A和接入用户 B都符合预设预设计费延迟上报规则， 则向 UGW-U发送第一消息， 第一消息分别指示接入用户 A和接入用户 B当前 状态对应的计费策略和指示第二子网关延迟发送根据接入用户 A的计费策 略测量得到的计费信息。
进一步的， 如果 UGW-C 向 UGW-U发送指示接入用户或接入用 户承载的控制策略， 则可以在这个控制测量中携带上述的第一消息。 以减少 UGW-C和 UGW-U之间信息的发送量。
需要说明的是，第一消息可以是 UGW-C和 UGW-U公约的计费 策略对应的标识和指示延迟的标识， 以减少消息占用的传输通道。 5303、 UGW-C判断若至少一个接入用户不符合预设计费延迟上 报规则， 则向 UGW-U 发送第一消息， 其中， 第一消息指示至少一 个接入用户当前状态对应的计费策略。
示例性的， 若 UGW-C判断接入用户 C和接入用户 D都不是签约用 户，则确定接入用户 C和接入用户 D都不符合预设预设计费延迟上报规则， 则向 UGW-U发送第一消息， 第一消息分别指示接入用户 C和接入用户 D 当前状态对应的计费策略， 以使得 UG W-U根据计费策略测量得到计费 信息后立即返回计费信息。
值得指出的是， 预设计费延迟上报规则是由 UGW-C 根据与 UGW-U中共知的预配置延迟上报策略设定的； 或者是由 UGW-C根 据策略控制器下发的延迟上报策略设定的； 或者， 是由 UGW-C根据 计费系统下发的延迟上报策略设定的。
5304、 UGW-U接收 UGW-C发送的第一消息。
需要说明的是，若 UGW-U接收 UGW-C发送的第一消息指示至 少一个接入用户 当前状态对应的计费策略， 并指示 UGW-U 延迟发 送测量的至少一个接入用户所有状态对应的的计费信息， 则执行步 骤 S305后执行步骤 S306或 S307 ; 若 UGW-U接收 UGW-C发送的 第一消息指示至少一个接入用户 当前状态对应的计费策略， 执行步 骤 S305后执行步骤 S308。
S305、 UGW-U根据至少一个接入用户当前状态对应的计费策略 分别测量至少一个接入用户当前状态对应的计费信息。
示例性的， UGW-U根据接入用户 A、 接入用户 B、 接入用户 C 和接入用户 D各自 当前状态对应的计费策略分别进行测量， 如测量 结果为接入用户 A通话 100min、 接入用户 B上网使用流量 5M、 接 入用户 C通话 20min和接入用户 D上网使用流量 3M。
S306、 UGW-U判断若至少一个接入用户的计费信息满足上报条 件， 则向 UGW-C发送至少一个接入用户所有状态对应的计费信息。
示例性的， 如果上报条件为通话满 l OOmin , 接入用户 A通话满 l OOmin , 则 UGW-U向 UGW-C发送接入用户 A通话 100min。 5307、 UGW-U判断若至少一个接入用户的计费信息不满足上报 条件， 则存储至少一个接入用户所有状态对应的计费信息。
示例性的， 如果上报条件为流量满 80M , 则 UGW-U存储接入 用户 B上网使用流量 5M , 暂时不向 UGW-C发送， 而等到 UGW-U 测量的接入用户 B上网使用流量累计达到 80M时再向 UGW-C发送。
5308、 UGW-U向 UGW-C发送至少一个接入用户 当前状态对应 的计费信息。
示例性的， UGW-U向 UGW-C发送接入用户 C通话 20min和接 入用户 D上网使用流量 3M , 其中， 如果 UGW-U对接入用户 C和接 入用户 D 的测量同时完成， 则可以通过一条信息向 UGW-C发送接 入用户 C通话 20min和接入用户 D上网使用流量 3M , 也可以分别 发送两条信息， 每条信息分别携带一个接入用户的计费信息， 如第 一条携带接入用户 C通话 20min , 另一条携带接入用户 D上网使用 流量 3M。
5309、 UGW-C若接收至少一个接入用户状态变化的指示消息， 则检测至少一个接入用户的当前状态。
需要说明的是， UGW-C根据接收到的状态变化的指示消息， 可 以判断接入用户的计费策略发生了改变， 如， UGW-C根据接收到的 状态变化的指示消息， 如判断接入用户 B的状态在接入用户 B上网 使用了 3M 的流量时发生了变化， 则检测接入用户 B使用了 3M 的 流量时的状态， 即当前的状态。
53 10、 UGW-C 判断若至少一个接入用户符合预设计费延迟上报规 则， 则向 UGW-U发送第二消息， 第二消息指示至少一个接入用户 当 前状态对应的计费策略。
需要说明的是， 由于接入用户 B承载接入消息或新建承载消息 时已经触犯了第一消息， 第一消息已经指示 UGW-U 对接入用户 B 的信息进行延时上报， 所以在切换状态时可以不在第二消息中指示 需要延迟上报， 但不以此为限定， 也可以在第二消息中指示 UGW-U 延迟发送测量的接入用户 B所有状态对应的的计费信息。 进一步的，第二消息可以是 UGW-C和 UGW-U公约的计费策略 对应的标识， 以减少消息传输占用的传输通道。
S3 1 1 . UGW-U根据第二消息指示至少一个接入用户的计费策略 分别测量当前状态对应的计费信息。
示例性的， UGW-U 根据第二消息指示的接入用户 B 的计费策 略， 测量得到接入用户 B浏览视频使用了 90M流量。
需要说明的是， UGW-U 根据测量结果执行步骤 S306 或步骤 S307。 如接入用户 B浏览视频使用了 90M流量， 由于之前的测量结 果表示接入用户 B 已经使用了 3M流量， 当接入用户 B浏览视频使 用了 77M流量时， 满足上报条件， 即接入用户 B使用 80M流量， 则执行步骤 S306 , 而 UGW-U发送 80M流量后可以继续测量剩余的 3M流量， 之后执行步骤 S307。
本发明实施例提供的网关计费处理方法， 网关分为 UGW-C 和 UGW-U, UGW-C若接收至少一个接入用户状态变化消息， 则检测当前状 态， 判断若至少一个接入用户符合预设计费延迟上报规则， 则向 UGW-U 发送指示接入用户计费策略和延迟上报计费信息的第一消息 ,使得 UGW-U 按照计费策略测量计费信息， 并延迟发送测量的计费信息， UGW-C 接收 第二子网发送的计费信息。 这样一来， 由于 UGW-C可以指示 UGW-U对 计费实时性不高的接入用户的计费信息进行延迟发送， UGW-U 在满足预 设上报条件后， 才向 UGW-C发送计费信息， 而不是测量完成每一状态下 的计费信息后都实时发送，因此减少了两个子网关间发送数据信息的频率， 从而避免了高频率的传输大量的测量数据， 进而降低网关处理的负荷。 本发明实施例提供的网关 1 , 如图 4所示， 包括用于处理计费 策略和控制第二子网关 60的第一子网关 50和用于数据转发和计费信息 的采集的第二子网关 60 , 其中， 第一子网关 50 , 如图 5 所示， 包 括：
处理单元 501 , 用于若第一接收单元 502接收至少一个接入用 户状态变化消息， 如上线消息、 新建承载消息或状态变化指示消息， 则检测至少一个接入用户的当前状态。 发送单元 503 , 用于处理单元 502判断若至少一个接入用户符合预设 计费延迟上报规则， 则向第二子网关 60发送第一消息。
其中， 第一消息指示至少一个接入用户 当前状态对应的计费策 略， 并指示第二子网关 60延迟发送测量的至少一个接入用户所有状 态对应的的计费信息， 以使得第二子网关 60按照计费策略测量并延 迟发送计费信息。
第二接收单元 504 , 用于接收第二子网关 60发送的满足上报条 件的至少一个接入用户所有状态对应的的计费信息。
示例性的， 第二接收单元 504可以接收第二子网关 60发送的至 少一个接入用户中第一接入用户所有状态对应的的计费信息， 其中， 计费信息是当第二子网关 60 测量得到的第一接入用户所有状态对 应的计费信息之和达到或大于预设阈值时发送的。
进一步的， 发送单元 503 , 还用于处理单元 502判断若至少一个接入 用户不符合预设计费延迟上报规则， 则向第二子网关 60发送第一消息， 其中， 第一消息指示至少一个接入用户 当前状态对应的计费策略， 以使得第二子网关 60 按照计费策略测量并发送计费信息。 这样一 来， 第二接收单元 504接收到的计费信息为第二子网关 60发送的至 少一个接入用户当前状态对应的计费信息。
值得指出的是， 处理单元 503 , 还用于发送单元 503向第二子网 关 60发送第一消息后， 若第一接收单元 501接收至少一个接入用户 状态变化消息， 则检测至少一个接入用户的当前状态， 如果接入用 户是符合预设计费延迟上报规则， 且已经由发送单元 503发送过指示延迟 的第一消息， 则发送单元 503向第二子网关 60发送第二消息， 第二消 息指示至少一个接入用户 当前状态对应的计费策略， 以使得第二子 网关 60按照计费策略测量并根据第一消息延迟发送计费信息。 本第一子网关 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。
第二子网关 60 , 如图 6所示， 包括：
接收单元 601 , 用于接收第一子网关 50发送的第一消息。 测量单元 602 , 用于接收单元 601 接收的第一消息若指示至少 一个接入用户 当前状态对应的计费策略， 并指示延迟发送测量的至 少一个接入用户所有状态对应的计费信息， 则根据至少一个接入用 户 当前状态对应的计费策略分别测量至少一个接入用户 当前状态对 应的计费信息。
发送单元 603 , 用于处理单元 604判断若至少一个接入用户的所 有状态对应的计费信息满足上报条件， 则向第一子网关 50发送测量 单元 602测量的至少一个接入用户所有状态对应的计费信息。
示例性的， 发送单元 603可以在处理单元 604判断至少一个接入 用户 中第一接入用户所有状态对应的计费信息之和达到或大于第一 接入用户的预设阈值时， 向第一子网关 50发送第一接入用户所有状 态对应的计费信息。
或者， 测量单元 602用于在接收单元 601接收的第一消息指示 至少一个接入用户 当前状态对应的计费策略时， 根据至少一个接入 用户 当前状态对应的计费策略分别测量至少一个接入用户 当前状态 对应的计费信息。 这种情况下， 发送单元 603可以及时向第一子网关 50发送测量单元 602测量的少一个接入用户 当前状态对应的计费信 息。
需要说明的是，如果第二子网关 60中接收单元 601 已经接收了 至少一个接入用户， 如接入用户 A的第一消息， 且第一消息指示对 接入用户 A的计费信息延迟发送， 则接收单元 601再接收第一子网 关 50发送的第二消息， 第二消息仅指示至少一个接入用户当前状态 对应的计费策略时， 由测量单元 602计费策略测量接入用户 A 当前 状态对应的计费信息， 但发送单元 603在处理单元 604判断接入用户 A的所有状态对应的计费信息满足上报条件时， 才向第一子网关 50 发送测量单元 602测量的接入用户 A所有状态对应的计费信息， 否 则储存测量结果， 直到处理单元 604判断接入用户 A的所有状态对 应的计费信息满足上报条件时， 才向第一子网关 50 发送测量单元 602测量的接入用户 A所有状态对应的计费信息。 本第二子网关 60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。
本发明实施例提供的网关， 网关分为第一子网关和第二子网关， 第一子网关若接收至少一个接入用户状态变化消息， 则检测当前状 态， 判断若至少一个接入用户符合预设计费延迟上报规则， 则向第 二子网关发送指示接入用户计费策略和延迟上报计费信息的第一消 息， 使得第二子网关按照计费策略测量计费信息， 并延迟发送测量 的计费信息， 第一子网关接收第二子网发送的计费信息。 这样一来， 由于第一子网关可以指示第二子网关对计费实时性不高的接入用户 的计费信息进行延迟发送， 第二子网关在满足预设上报条件后， 才 向第一子网关发送计费信息， 而不是测量完成每一状态下的计费信 息后都实时发送， 因此减少了两个子网关间发送数据信息的频率， 从而避免了高频率的传输大量的测量数据， 进而降低网关处理的负 荷。
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。
