Product Description
OCS (Online Charging System) is refers to the charging system that participates in the control of the communication process and provides functions such as real-time credit control of users, prepaid usage data services, and real-time charging of value-added services.
OCS supports unified charging based on bearer, session and content events. The charging reference architecture proposed by 3GPP separates the traffic control function of the device from the charging function and establishes a direct interaction between the charging system and session/service control, so that charging is fully involved in the service use process. In this way, the powerful capabilities of the independent billing system can be used to provide flexibility close to the quasi-real-time billing system, and the real-time characteristics of participating in the use process can be used to minimize the arrears cost.
The CHF introduced by 5G supports three scenarios: online charging, offline charging, and converged charging. Receive the SMF Nchf interface message sent by the SMF side, route and forward the message, collect billing information, generate the corresponding CDR, and process the CDR to generate a bill file for BOSS to collect and use through the file interface; at the same time, CHF supports forwarding SMF transmission The charging request message is sent to the BOSS, and the BOSS response is forwarded to the SMF.
