    Abstract: Disclosed is a method for network charging, which includes: user state information is received from a mobility management network element and charging strategy information is received from a charging rule network element, then a charging resource request message containing the charging strategy information, the user state information and information of a universal gateway (UGW) are sent to a data centre management network element; information of a processing network element is received from the data centre management network element; a flow table for the UGW is configured according to the information of the processing network element, and the configured flow table is sent to the UGW; and charging processing information fed back from the data centre management network element is received when the processing network element charges for a traffic flow. The disclosure further provides a controller for network charging.

    Abstract: Provided is a method for selecting a shunt gateway and a controller. The method includes that: the controller allocates an Anycast address of Serving Gateways (S-GWs) for a user equipment, and sends the Anycast address to all of the S-GWs; the controller sends the Anycast address to a radio-side network element via a Mobility Management Entity (MME); and when the controller receives a Packet_In message and a first uplink data packet from the user equipment sent by an S-GW, the controller selects the S-GW as an S-GW for the user equipment.

    Abstract: Disclosed is a method for network charging, which includes: a data center management network element, upon reception of a charging resource request message from a controller, supports a charging function of a processing network element by a virtual machine and feeding back information of the processing network element to the controller; the data center management network element sending charging strategy information, user state information and information of UGW to the processing network element, which implements transmission of a traffic flow with the UGW according to the information of UGW, charges for the traffic flow according to the charging strategy information and the user state information, and feeds back charging processing information to the data center management network element; and the data center management network element feeding back the charging processing information to the controller. The disclosure further provides a data center, controller, UGW and system for network charging. Thus the charging service may be implemented for a SDN EPC network.
