Patent ID: 7869449

Claim:
A method for statistic reporting, comprising: obtaining, by an Media Gateway (MG), current time information upon determining that it is necessary to report a current value of a statistic parameter and that it is necessary to bind time information for reporting of the current value of the statistic parameter; associating the current time information with the current value of the statistic parameter that needs to be reported; reporting the associated current time information and statistic parameter value to a Media Gateway Controller (MGC); wherein the determining that it is necessary to bind time information for reporting of the current value of the statistic parameter, comprises: determining, by the MG, whether it is necessary to bind the time information for reporting of the current value of the statistic parameter according to a set time binding request parameter; and wherein before determining, by the MG, whether it is necessary to bind the time information for reporting of the current value of the statistic parameter value according to the set time binding request parameter, the method further comprises: setting, by the MGC, the time binding request parameter and sending the time binding request parameter to the MG.
