Abstract
A method for controlling the charging of packet data service is disclosed which includes: monitoring a number of event triggers; and when one of the event triggers is met a TPF requesting charging rules from a CRF. In this way the timing that the TPF requests charging rules from the CRF becomes controllable and redundant information caused by the unnecessary charging rule from the TPF becomes avoidable which enables interaction between the TPF and the CRF more effective and the charging control of packet data service reasonable and perfect.

Claim
1. A method for controlling charging of packet data service, comprising:
receiving, by a Traffic Plane Function (TPF), event triggers to control the TPF from a Charging Rule Function (CRF), wherein the event triggers are determined by the CRF;
determining, by the TPF, whether a request for charging rule is required to be sent to the CRF according to the event triggers; and
sending, by the TPF, the request for charging rule to the CRF, if one or more of the event triggers received from the CRF is met,
wherein the event triggers comprise at least one of a change of a Serving GPRS Support Node (SGSN), a change of a Public Land Mobile Network (PLMN), a change of a Radio Access Technology (RAT) type, a change of a Traffic Flow Template (TFT), or a change of Quality of Service (QoS).', 'receiving, by a Traffic Plane Function (TPF), event triggers to control the TPF from a Charging Rule Function (CRF), wherein the event triggers are determined by the CRF;', 'determining, by the TPF, whether a request for charging rule is required to be sent to the CRF according to the event triggers; and', 'sending, by the TPF, the request for charging rule to the CRF, if one or more of the event triggers received from the CRF is met,', 'wherein the event triggers comprise at least one of a change of a Serving GPRS Support Node (SGSN), a change of a Public Land Mobile Network (PLMN), a change of a Radio Access Technology (RAT) type, a change of a Traffic Flow Template (TFT), or a change of Quality of Service (QoS).
2. The method according to claim 1, wherein the request for charging rule carries an event identifier indicating the met event trigger.
3. The method according to claim 1, wherein the request for charging rule carries charging-relevant input information which is provided to the CRF for charging rule selection.
4. The method according to claim 1, further comprising:
receiving, by the TPF, a charging rule from the CRF in a charging rule provision procedure.', 'receiving, by the TPF, a charging rule from the CRF in a charging rule provision procedure.
5. A communication system for controlling charging of packet data service, comprising:
a Traffic Plane Function (TPF) which is in communication with a Charging Rule Function (CRF), wherein the TPF is configured to:
receive, from the CRF, event triggers to control the TPF, wherein the event triggers are determined by the CRF;
determine whether a request for charging rule is required to be sent to the CRF according to the event triggers; and
send the request for charging rule to the CRF if one or more of the event triggers received from the CRF is met,
wherein the event triggers comprise at least one of a change of a Serving GPRS Support Node (SGSN), a change of a Public Land Mobile Network (PLMN), a change of a Radio Access Technology (RAT) type, a change of a Traffic Flow Template (TFT), or a change of Quality of Service (QoS).', 'a Traffic Plane Function (TPF) which is in communication with a Charging Rule Function (CRF), wherein the TPF is configured to:
receive, from the CRF, event triggers to control the TPF, wherein the event triggers are determined by the CRF;
determine whether a request for charging rule is required to be sent to the CRF according to the event triggers; and
send the request for charging rule to the CRF if one or more of the event triggers received from the CRF is met,', 'receive, from the CRF, event triggers to control the TPF, wherein the event triggers are determined by the CRF;', 'determine whether a request for charging rule is required to be sent to the CRF according to the event triggers; and', 'send the request for charging rule to the CRF if one or more of the event triggers received from the CRF is met,', 'wherein the event triggers comprise at least one of a change of a Serving GPRS Support Node (SGSN), a change of a Public Land Mobile Network (PLMN), a change of a Radio Access Technology (RAT) type, a change of a Traffic Flow Template (TFT), or a change of Quality of Service (QoS).
6. The communication system according to claim 5, wherein the request for charging rule carries an event identifier indicating met event trigger.
7. The communication system according to claim 5, wherein the request for charging rule carries charging-relevant input information which is provided to the CRF for charging rule selection.
8. The communication system according to claim 5, the TPF is further configured to receive a charging rule from the CRF in a charging rule provision procedure.
9. The method according to claim 4, further comprising:
performing, by the TPF, charging information statistics according to the charging rule.', 'performing, by the TPF, charging information statistics according to the charging rule
10. The communication system according to claim 8, the TPF is further configured to perform charging information statistics according to the charging rule
11. The communication system according to claim 5, wherein the communication system is a general packet radio service (GPRS) communication system, and the TPF is a GPRS Support Node (GGSN).']
