Description

Traffic statistics method and device

This application claims priority to Chinese Patent Application No. 200510121344.9, entitled "A Traffic Statistics Method", filed on Dec. 30, 2005, the entire contents of which is incorporated herein by reference. TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a traffic statistics technique for a telephone network, and more particularly to a traffic statistics method and apparatus.

Background technique

The entire network intelligent network transforms the existing network structure, and promotes various types of services quickly and uniformly through the service switching center, user data center and intelligent service center, and realizes intelligent network quickly and at low cost. One or more solutions for mobility, integration, and integration. In order to avoid the upgrade and upgrade of all the end offices, the current network intelligent network adopts the tandem mode network to report all the calls of the end office to the tandem office, so that various services can be triggered at the tandem layer.

At present, after the transformation of the gateway mode network, some of the original call flows of the end office are changed, especially the calls within the end office, that is, all calls are processed by the gateway.

As shown in Figure 1, before the modification, the call 101 of the user 101 in the end office LE1 dialing the user 102 is only processed internally in the office LE1.

The call flow of the same call in the modified call is as shown in Figure 2. The end office LE1 needs to relay the call from the user 101 to the tandem office MS through the trunk, trigger the registered service, and then connect the call back to the end office LE1. The called user 102 is called.

Traffic statistics, also known as traffic measurement, traffic measurement, load measurement, or traffic statistics, means that measurements are made on the exchange and its surrounding telephone networks, providing measurements, planning, and design of the telephone network. Run and manage data.

For the traffic flow statistics of the local network, in one method of the prior art, the end office and the tandem office respectively register the traffic statistics tasks, and collect the respective traffic volumes and then summarize them.

Traffic statistics methods typically perform global traffic statistics based on call flow. Referring to Figure ³ , where A is the outgoing traffic; B is the incoming traffic; C is the system outgoing traffic; F is the local traffic; Outgoing call traffic; H is the system's incoming call traffic; J is the incoming call of the system; K is the incoming call; L is the transfer; 0 is the system's call P is the outgoing traffic of the system; Q is the called traffic; R is the outgoing traffic; S is the system receiving traffic. In actual application, the call will be called "Calling Traffic", "Accepted Call", "Internal Call", "Outgoing Call", "Incoming Call", "Incoming Call", "Outgoing Call", Eight major flows, such as "transfer traffic", collect statistical traffic, and obtain statistics on global call status, call quality, network quality, and so on.

Due to the transformation of the gateway mode network, a part of the call flow is changed. For example, for an end office, a call between internal users of the local office may be sent out to the tandem office first, and then from the tandem office. Users of this office. According to the traffic statistics method of the prior art, the end office performs traffic statistics according to the call flow, and the call is counted as outgoing traffic and incoming traffic, but the call is essentially the internal traffic of the end office. That is to say, although the statistics performed by the prior art are consistent with the actual call flow direction, the actual traffic flow data cannot be correctly reflected, and the statistics of all traffic flows of the local network cannot be comprehensively and accurately performed.

detailed description

In the embodiment of the present invention, the end office no longer participates in the traffic statistics related to the local network traffic flow, and moves the end office traffic statistics point to the tandem office, and the unified call by the gateway office The statistics of the traffic flow are matched after the related information matches the registered traffic statistics task.

In order to implement traffic statistics, the call matching information at least including the combination of the incoming call end and the outgoing call end may be preset at the gateway; during traffic statistics, at the gateway, the preset includes at least the call incoming end and The call matching information of the call-out combination detects the matched call, and performs statistics on the matched call, so as to implement comprehensive and accurate statistics on various traffic flows of the entire network of the local network, which is described below.

In the embodiment of the present invention, when the tandem office performs call matching for traffic statistics, for each call, the call matching can be arbitrarily according to the call incoming end, the outgoing call end, the call destination code, the call attribute, and the calling number of the call. Match one or more of the combinations. The call incoming end matching is performed according to the initiating end of the call. The calling out end matching is matched according to the outbound end of a call, and the calling destination code matching is matched according to the destination number of one call, and the call attribute matching is only Matching according to the type of a call, the calling number matching is matched according to the number of the initiator of a call, wherein the calling attribute is a type of a call such as this The local, local long distance, domestic long distance or international long distance can be determined according to the prefix dialed by the user. The difference between the call attribute and the destination code is that the destination code is a certain number, and the call attribute is a certain type of call.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the same call can be matched to all five kinds of information described above. In addition, based on the needs of the actual application, the matching item in the call matching information may further include a matching information item such as an office route and a subscriber line, where the office-related related call information, that is, the information from the office to which the call is coming or going (per Each exchange has a unique location information). The subscriber line related call information is the way the user accesses the switch. Currently, there are ordinary users (directly accessing the user board through copper wires), V5 users (through the access network), etc., and the subscriber line related call information is mainly in the Used when the called party is a user of this office.

The following is a specific embodiment. Referring to FIG. 4, in one embodiment of the present invention, traffic statistics are performed according to call matching information of a combination of a call incoming end and a call outgoing end, and specifically includes the following steps:

Step 11: A call is detected at the gateway, and the call related information is obtained from the corresponding data configured by the signaling and the gateway;

In step 12, it is detected whether the call incoming end and the outgoing call end of the call match the call incoming end and the call outgoing end in the preset call matching information in the tandem office. If the determination is yes, step 13 is performed; otherwise, the direct execution is performed. Step 14;

Step image 13, determining that the call is an active call for traffic statistics, recording the traffic statistics result, performing step 14;

Step 14. Detect the next call until the traffic statistics are over.

It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present invention, if the preset call matching information further includes a call destination code matching item, if it is determined in step 12 whether the call matches the call matching information, it is also required to detect whether the destination code of the call matches. The call destination code in the call matching information, only the call incoming end, the call originating end, and the call destination code match to determine that the call is an active call for traffic statistics, and if the preset call matches When the information also includes the call attribute or the calling number, the matching judgment can also be performed in the same manner as above, and only the call that matches all the matching items in the call matching information is determined to be a valid call.

The foregoing traffic statistics method may be specifically created in the tandem office to create a traffic statistics task. The above-mentioned optional one or more combined call matches are selected in the call matching information.

For example, for the gateway MS1 in FIG. 5, when it is required to count the local traffic of the end office LE1, the traffic statistics task 1 can be newly created, and the call matching information, the call originating end, and the calling destination can be selected in the call matching information. The combination of codes, wherein the call incoming end can be set as the relay group TK1, the call originating end is also set as the relay group TK1, and the call destination code can be a certain number of the end office LE1. For the traffic volume inside the end office LE1, the MS1 in the tandem office performs matching according to the incoming trunk group TK1 call source and the outgoing trunk group TK1 call source, and matches the prefix traffic of the end office LE1. Perform statistics and match the destination code of the call. After a call is connected to the end office MS1, if it is from the trunk group TK1 to the trunk group TK1 and the called number matches the call destination code set by the task 1, the call can be determined as the valid call for the traffic statistics, and the statistics are The traffic volume of the local office LE1 can be increased by one.

To calculate the traffic volume of the end office LE1 to the end office LE2, you can create a new traffic statistics task 2, the call incoming end is set to the trunk group TK1, the call outgoing end is set to the trunk group ΤΚ2, and the call destination code is set to the end. A number of the bureau LE2. At the gateway MS1, statistics are performed according to the incoming call trunk group ΤΚ1, the call originating trunk group ΤΚ2, and the call destination code (a certain number of the end office LE2). After a call is connected to the gateway MS1, if the call is from the trunk group TK1 to the trunk group 2 and the called number is the same as that set by the traffic statistics task 2, the traffic volume of the end office LE1 to the end office LE2 It can be increased by one time.

For the traffic between the end office LE1 and the long distance office, the MS1 in the gateway performs the statistics according to the incoming trunk group TK1, the outgoing trunk group ΤΚ4, and the calling destination code (if needed).

In addition, since the tandem office MS1 and the tandem office MS2 are at the same level as the tandem office, they can be active/standby switchovers (using the tandem office MS2 when the gateway MS1 fails, and vice versa) or load sharing (t Bureau MS1 and gateway MS2 work simultaneously). For the traffic statistics of the local office LE1, if the gateway MS2 is also configured with the relay data of the end office LE1, the call source matching of the call incoming end and the outgoing call end can also be changed according to the registration method of the tandem office MS1. Similarly statistical data to the traffic flow data LE1 end office, such as in the mission traffic statistics established on the end of the tandem office call to MS2 trunk group ΤΚ6, the calling terminal to the relay group ΤΚ ^6; For the end office LE1 to the end office LE2 traffic statistics, the incoming call is set to trunk group ,6, call The outgoing end is set to the relay group TK7.

(PSTN, Public Switch Telecom Network) The switch may also be another network node. For example, referring to FIG. 6, the network node implementing the traffic statistics method may also be an access gateway (AG, Access Gateway) 610, a soft switch (Softswitc). The NGN (Next Generation Network) component, such as the 620, has the same statistical method on the network node, and will not be described here.
