DESCRIPTION
OCG (Open Charging Gateway) is a high availability
platform which handles the service control, processing,
and traffic management with INAP/CAP/WIN.
OCG
( Open Charging
Gateway )
Open Charging
Gateway
It interacts with CBP though DCC interface to

authenticating subscriber and applying for the call time
when it receive a call.
At the end of the call, OCG will report the call duration
time to CBP and request CBP for charging.
FEP
URP
Front End
Processor
FEP (Front End Processor) is also an interface entity

between the OCS system and 3rd party systems such as
banks, SMSC (Short Message Service Center), etc. to
accomplish the conversion between different protocols so
as to extend the functions of the OCS system. Notification
SMS invoked by OCS will deliver to FEP for sending.
Universal
Resource Platform
The U-SYS Universal Resource Platform (URP8100 for

short) is used for both narrowband and broadband media
resources. Inheriting all features of C&C08-AIP, the
URP8100 is an intelligent peripheral of media resources
in next generation network (NGN).
The URP8100 uses industry-leading software and
hardware architecture, featuring large capacity, high
integration, rich media resources, and strong service
support. It also enjoys powerful networking ability by
supporting PSTN/PLMN and NGN. (In this project, it will
not use Huawei URP, it use current IP in MSC/SSP)

Convergent Rating
& Charging
CBP is the core module in Huawei OCS, providing unified

rating & billing engine and supports both online charging
and offline charging.
The services cover voice, SMS, data service (volume and
duration based), content. Also include periodic charging

such as monthly rental, rebating, bonus, and discount.
CBP accumulates usage real-timely and generates rated
CDRs for future query.
Generates Rated CDR.You can

collect CDR from there and check
the charging is ok or not and also
can check is it is being using the
proper Product Key.
Credit Control
UVC
Voucher Center
The real-time balance & account management

and credit control for prepaid subscribers and postpaid
subscribers is in CBP.
UVC consists of UVC (Uniform Voucher Center) and
CMP (Card Management Point).
The UVC is mainly used to store voucher cards related
data, and handle the recharge request from subscriber.
CMP is mainly in charge of the centralized management
over the card data creation, loading-to-database,
deletion, activation/deactivation, locking/unlocking and
query of the recharge card data file.

Figure :: Target Network Architecture of Huawei OCS
1. One centralized BMP is deployed to support 25 M subscribers, which will manage all the OCS
OCG & CBP nodes in 2 production sites. This scheme will be helpful to reduce OPEX.
2. OCG and CBP are deployed in two production sites with site1 supporting 14 M subscribers and
site2 supporting 11M subscribers.
3. BMP adopt 1+1 DR mode, one product site and one DR site. OCG & CBP adopt 2+1 DR mode, site
1 & site 2 are production site, site 3 is the DR site, which means one DR site 3 will take over the
traffic from production site1 or production site 2, according to which site will happen disaster
firstly. The DR site 3 synchronizes all the data from site 1 & site 2, and the synchronized data
from site 1 & site 2 is back up in different volume in site 3 DB.
4. Because each site has 5~6 clusters of active-standby CBPs, and in order to simplify the
connection between CBPs and VAS entities, DCCPROXY is introduced to provide single access
point for VAS entities (GGSN, CRBT and 3rd party applications), which talk to OCS through
Diameter interface. That will be easy for network management and maintenance.
5. For reliability & avoid long distance diameter connection between DCC Proxy and CPBs, for each
site will deploy one DCCPROXY. DCCPROXY in each site is furnished with dual-cluster system to
meet high reliability requirement.

6. OCS system adopts IP in SSP throughout the core network for playing announcement. Its same
as Legacy IN solution. All announcements of OCS service will be loaded in all SSP/IP. The existing
AIP/URP will not be reused for OCS.

Only prepaid calls shall be triggered to OCS and be charged online. Later for CBS, all calls include
prepaid, postpaid & hybrid should be triggered to OCS.
MSC/SSP communicates with OCS based on CAP2, MSC/SSP send the CAP
message to USAU (Universal signal access point), UASU send to OCG for call
control, OCG send diameter message to CBP for authentication and charging.
(NB::ASIF::USAU+SCP==OCG)
The charging request is sent from SMSC to OCS for P2P SMS through SMPP+ interface.
Rating and charging is done by OCS. The price of P2P SMS is configured through OCS SMAP.
During migration, SMSC connect to IN and OCS respectively through SMPP+ interface according to
number segment.
9|Page
The charging request is sent from GGSN to OCS for GPRS through DCC interface.
During the migration, the GPRS rating and charging will still be from SGSN to OCS through CAP3
interface, same as existing IN solution.
The charging request is also sent from CRBT to OCS for dowloand fee and subscription fee through
DCC interface.
During migration, the rating will still be done by CRBT same as exising IN solution, and OCS is
responsible for fee deduction. CRBT send charging request to IN through MML and to OCS
through DCC respectively according to number segment.
10 | P a g e
As there will be centralized Customer Care/Provision which will provide unified access for VAS
services and unified provision to NEs including OCS, HLR, VAS platform such as CRBT, so the rating
and charging of CRBT subscription fee will be fully done by OCS. CRBT is only responsible for the
management of the SP/CP/service and assign the content ID. The product and price of CRBT
subscription fee will be configured manually in OCS.
Voucher card recharge has IVR, SMS, and USSD three ways.
Electronic recharge is from ELoad to OCS through DCC interface.
11 | P a g e
During migration, Eload communicate with IN and OCS by MML according to number segment.
After the migration, the ELoad need upgrade to support DCC to integrate with OCS.
How to do the Prepaid Subscriber Provision
1. Operator creates the provisioning files for prepaid subscribers in single/batch

mode.
2. Operator login OCS SMAP, upload the provisioning files and start to provision
prepaid subscribers in OCS.
3. OCS talks to HLR to finish the provisioning on HLR through MML. All OCS services
will be pre-activated in HLR. (Whether this step is included depends on the
configuration, if this step is not needed, the provisioning in HLR will be
independently through the HLR SMAP by manual.)
4. OCS feedback the response in provisioning result files to operator. If there is any
provisioning failure in OCS or HLR, it will be corrected by manual.
12 | P a g e
How in CBS , Prepaid Subscriber Provision (In Phase II CBS Solution)
1.
Customer Care sends the prepaid creation request to BMP, the request can be
Single/Batch.
2.
BMP Create prepaid profile and response back to Customer Care.
3.
Customer Care sends to Provisioning System for Prepaid activation. The request
can be Single/Batch.
4.
Provisioning system sends creation request to HLR only for prepaid lines, one by
one.
5.
HLR responses back to Provisioning.
6.
Provisioning system sends the response back to Customer Care.
First Call Activation for Prepaid
13 | P a g e
1. On user First Call, MSC triggers OCS System.

2. OCS updates the subscriber status and returns the welcome voice ID for
announcement.
3. MSC/IP prompt welcome message to the user.
4. OCS sends the welcome SMS message to user via SMSC.

Calling user initials a call, MSC/VLR sends an IDP message to SCP, in this message contains the
location information of the calling party and other parameters.
2.
SCP receives IDP message from MSC/SSP and return the RRBE message.
14 | P a g e
3.
SCP analysis and process the received number, and checks whether the number is barred or
emergency call, if yes SCP neednt send request message to CBP.
If the call relates to the service with location charging feature such as local discount charging or
same area bonus, SCP need to send ATI message to HLR to get the called party location.
4.
SCP get the subscribers home CBP, then send CCR (Initial, RSU (CC-time), Service-ID, IMSI,
Locationetc.) to CBP for authentication and budget.
5.
CBP analysis the request message to do authentication, rating, reserving balance, and then
send CCA (Initial, RC=Success, GSU (300S, for example)) with the usable call time to SCP.
6.
SCP sends AC, FCI (optional) and Continue messages to MSC/SSP; MSC/SSP executes call
monitor.
7.
After the call is connected according to the called number contained in the IAM message and
the conversation reaches the given segment (300S for example), MSC/SSP reports the ACR to
the SCP.
8.
SCP receives ACR message from MSC/SSP, and then send CCR (Update, USU (300S)) to CBP to
report the used call time.
9.
CBP does calculate and charging the last segment fee according to CCR message, reservation
for the next segment and then send CCA(Update, RC=Success, GSU(300S)) with usable call time
to SCP.
10. When the call is finished, SCP receives ERB and ACR from MSC/SSP and send CCR(Terminate,
USU())to CBP to report the used call time.
11. CBP calculates and deducts the account according to CCR message, and then return CCA
(Terminate, RC=Success) to SCP and end the sessions.
12. The SCP returns RC message to the MSC/VLR, the call ends.

1.
MSC/VLR receives a call, sends an SRI message to the HLR and obtains T-CSI. Then, MSC/VLR
sends an IDP message to SCP, in this message contains the location information of the calling
party and other parameters.
2.
After receiving the IDP message, the SCP send RRBE message.
3.
SCP analysis the calling and called number, and the SCP authenticate the right of receiving calls of
the called party. If yes, SCP gets the home CBP of the called user and sends the CCR(RSU (CCtime), Service-ID, IMSI, Locationetc.) message to the CBP.
4.
The CBP performs the operations of authentication, inverse calculation, and fee reservation.
Then, the CBP returns the CCA(Initial, RC=Success, GSU (300S, for example)) with the usable call

1.1.1
Unified Service Access Unit & Control (USAU & OCG)
The Real Time Billing has the request of real time control for all the service. Huawei adopts the
mature Intelligent Network solution to support the voice/SMS/Data services control.
The OCG (Service Control Point) will use standard protocol to connect with the core network, and
use Diameter protocol to connect with CBP (Convergent Billing Point) to apply the rating/charging
function.
OCG can be divided into two parts: SAU which is responsible for signaling access and SCDU which
is responsible for data manipulate and service control. The structure is shown as below:
SAU is based on Huawei U-SYS USAU platform. It provides format conversion between SS7 signaling and
TCP/IP based internal message.
Again, SCDU can be divided into two logical entities: SCU and SDU. SCU is responsible for service
control, where service logics are running.
SDU is responsible for data manipulate, where database are running. For small capacity SCU and
SDU coexist in a same server making up of a SCDU. In large capacity, SCU and SDU can run in
independent server. SCU works in N+1 load sharing and SDU works in host-standby cluster mode
which can save the signaling point of OCG.
17 | P a g e
1.1.1.1
USAU
The USAU provides unique functions in the telecom networks and service capabilities.
As a signaling access unit of telecom devices in the intelligent network (IN), the USAU converts the
signaling protocols between telecom devices, and supports:
The Time Division Multiplex-based (TDM-based) narrowband No.7 signaling network
The Internet Protocol-based (IP-based) broadband signaling transport (SIGTRAN) network
The USAU is based on the open standards telecom architecture (OSTA) platform. The USAU has
high signaling link processing capability and integration degree and provides more powerful
signaling access capability for:
Service control point (SCP)
Home location register (HLR)
Short message service center (SMSC)
The USAU provides the signaling access function for the SCP, SMSC, and the HLR
( Till Page 40 out of 125)
18 | P a g e
Convergent Charging & Billing Point (CBP)
CBP software architecture
1. CBP receives a call request, this call request has been preprocessed.
2. Service recognition function judge what kind of service the call request is, for example: this call
is mobile originating, domestic toll call, domestic roaming and etc.
3. Authentication function judge whether or not the subscriber has the right to make this call,
according to subscriber properties (e.g. account state, outgoing call permission) and call specific
information (e.g. toll, roaming).
4. Perform pre-calculation according to the account information, call specific information and
product ordering information of the subscriber, work out total call duration the subscriber can
afford. CBP will check all products the subscriber ordered, all the charging strategies and rules, find
out rules which match the call, and perform accurate calculation.
19 | P a g e
5. Apply to reserve a portion of balance from the related accounts, in case of allowed call duration
is less than predefined time slice (300 seconds in default), all the remained balance will be
reserved.
6. Indicate to connect the call.
7. CBP detects subscriber hang up or time slice has been used up (under CAMEL standard, a
midterm report will be received).
8. Perform post-calculation according to the call duration, call specific information, account
information and product ordering information of the subscriber, work out call cost (may involve
multiple accounts).
9. Accounting/billing function charge the previous call segment from the account, previous
reservation will be committed, call record will be generated.
If the call is still active, CBP will repeat the rating, reservation and accounting processes. Following
this process model, CBP can meet various telecom service charging demands.
1.1.2 Business Management Point (BMP)
BMP is the adapter and interface of management data and service logic, flashing the data from
CC&BM to CBP/OCG, and work order from CBP to CC&BM. The whole service flows such as
creating new subscriber, changing rate plans, changing customer information, also need the help
of BMP as an interface from CC&BM to CBP
20 | P a g e
OCS USAU has supported all protocols including CAP, WIN, SIP, INAP etc.
OCS OCG can support the SIP access directly without the USAU.
Maintain Engineer can monitor system performance and find abnormal information in time. So
engineer can prevent accident.

USAU
24 | P a g e
From the above figure, you can see that USAU not only can access narrowband SS7 network but
also can access broadband SIGTRAN signaling via IP package switched network
SS7
The SS7signaling system of USAU can provide MTP - message transmission part, SCCP - signaling
connection control part and TCAP - Transaction Capabilities Application Part. The position of these
function modules in system is shown below:

E1 interface of EPI provides TDM PCM interface to access standard 64K link or 2M link.
EPI processes message of MTP1, extracts signaling slot and sends it to WCSU board via internal HW.
WCSU board processes message of MTP2 layer, MTP3 layer and above layers.
The path of IP signaling/protocol in USAU is shown below:
The path of IP signaling/protocol in USAU
The path of IP signaling/ protocol in traffic module is presented below:

BFII board receives message of IP signaling/protocol and send it to IFM board via fixed connection.
26 | P a g e
IFM processed message of MAC layer then distributes it to the specified BSG board according to IP
address and port number. This is the layer 1 message distribution.
BSG performs layer 2 distribution (high-level distribution), which will distribute message to WCCU via
Ethernet bus. The second traffic from BSG to WCCU distributes SCCP message. At that time, BSG
terminates SIGTRAN message.
WCCU processes user message of MTP3 layer and the MTP3 above layers.
