Abstract
A WAP gateway and a method for implementing billing control for prepaid subscribers include: a wireless application protocol WAP gateway interacts related information with a billing system according to different service requests of the prepaid subscriber, and collects and controls related fees according to the interacted information. The method effectively realizes real-time billing, and neatly configures a billing policy, so as to realize flexible billing based on various fee rates and satisfy requirements of the flexible billing of carriers. The method also ensures high efficiency and reliability of the billing by saving billing sessions in the gateway in a certain period of time. When a big file is downloaded, if the flow is pre-deducted and the user does not enjoy substantial service due to various abnormities, the method can roll back the flow.
