Method and system for implementing usage monitoring control
The present disclosure provides a method for implementing usage monitoring control, comprising: a PCRF makes a usage monitoring policy for each IP-CAN session or service data flow that shares a total allowanced usage according to the obtained total allowanced usage shared by multiple users, and the PCRF sends the usage monitoring policy to a PCEF (200); the PCEF performs a usage monitoring according to the usage monitoring policy sent by the PCRF, and reports a usage to the PCRF (201); the PCRF deducts a consumed usage from the total allowanced usage shared by the multiple users after the PCRF receives the usage reported by the PCEF (202). The present disclosure also provides a system for implementing usage monitoring control. Through the solution of the present disclosure, when multiple users share a total allowanced usage, PCRF simultaneously monitors the usage on the multiple users according to the total allowanced usage, thereby avoiding conflicts in policy and charging controls.
