Abstract:
Disclosed are a charging method and device configured to realize charging for a local service without affecting an existing charging procedure when a service platform is deployed at a base station side. The charging method of the invention comprises: when a mobile edge computing gateway (MEC-GW) determines that a user equipment (UE) is to be charged for a local service, transmitting, to a mobile edge computing (MEC) server, a message requesting calculation of local service information associated with the UE; receiving, by the MEC-GW, local service calculation information associated with the UE transmitted by the MEC server, and generating, according to the local service calculation information associated with the UE, a charging data record for the local service associated with the UE; and transmitting, by the MEC-GW, the charging data record for the local service to a charging gate (CG).

Claim (Index 7):
A charging method, comprising:\n receiving, by a Mobile Edge Computing (MEC) server, a request message transmitted by a Mobile Edge Computing Gateway (MEC-GW) to make a statistic of local traffic information of a User Equipment (UE), wherein the request message is transmitted by the MEC-GW to the MEC server upon reception of an instruction message transmitted by a Packet data network Gateway (P-GW) to charge the UE for the local traffic; determining, by the MEC server, information to be reported among the local traffic information of the UE, according to the request message; and making and then transmitting, by the MEC server, a statistic of the information to be reported, to the MEC-GW, so that the MEC-GW generates and then transmits a charging data bill of the local traffic of the UE to a Charging Gateway (CG) according to reported information.
