Abstract:
A charging method is provided. The method includes the following: A forwarding plane network element sends forwarding plane charging statistics to a charging system when the forwarding plane charging statistics meet a preset charging trigger condition, and may further send a charging context identifier to the charging system; the charging system actively sends control plane charging request information to a control plane network element after receiving the forwarding plane charging statistics; the control plane network element sends control plane charging information to the charging system after receiving the request information, and may further send the charging context identifier; and the charging system associates the forwarding plane charging statistics with the control plane charging information based on the charging context identifier, and performs charging processing.

Claim (Index 9):
The method according to  claim 8 , wherein before receiving the forwarding plane charging statistics, the method further comprises:\n receiving, by the charging apparatus, a control plane message from a control plane network element; and in response to the control plane message, sending, by the charging apparatus, a request for collecting the forwarding plane charging statistics to the forwarding plane network element.
