Claim:
1. A method for charging local traffic on a wireless side, comprising: matching, by a wireless-side network element, obtained user equipment (UE) identification information and obtained an IP address of a UE; detecting and collecting, by the wireless-side network element, locally processed data traffic and a corresponding IP address of the UE, wherein the locally processed data traffic is data traffic which does not pass a core network, and shunts locally or is ended at the wireless-side network element; searching for, by the wireless-side network element, the UE identification information matching the corresponding IP address of the UE, and updating the locally processed data traffic to a charging data record (CDR) of the UE corresponding to the UE identification information; and sending, by the wireless-side network element, the CDR of the UE to a charging gateway (CG) to combine with a serving GPRS supporting node charging data record (S-CDR) and a gateway GPRS supporting node charging data record (G-CDR) and report to a charging center; wherein, the wireless-side network element includes a radio access network and a NodeB; and the method further comprises: monitoring, by the wireless-side network element, packet data protocol (PDP) activation, and after the PDP activation, the wireless-side network element triggering a charging start and generating the CDR of the UE, and when the charging starts, filling the UE identification information and a charging start time into the CDR of the UE; and triggering, by the wireless-side network element, a charging end through monitoring NAS messages interacted between the UE and the core network.
