<p>A method for reducing the load of TPF is characterized by the fact that TPF determines whether to perform the charging operation of the service data flow using the corresponding charging rule or not according to the acquired indication for denoting whether to charge or not, and if it is, perform the charging operation of the statistics result of the service data flow and report it to the charging relative functions, and if not, the charging operation of the statistics result of the service data flow is avoided. The invention optimizes the operation in which TPF reports the charging information, which makes all TPF need is to perform the necessary charging operations so as to reduce the load of TPF and the load of the network devices and improve the efficiency of the system. At the same time, the waste of network resources is avoided since the provider applies various charging policies, such as free policy.</p> |
