Abstract: The present disclosure discloses a group charging method, a gateway device, a charging device, and a communications system, and relates to the field of communications technologies. The method includes: obtaining a group identity and personal identity information of a user; obtaining a charging rule generated according to the group identity; and establishing, according to the group identity, the personal identity information, and the charging rule, a charging session for a group account corresponding to the group identity, so that a charging system performs group charging according to the group identity and the charging rule. In the present disclosure, it is determined, according to a group identity of a user, that the user belongs to a certain group, and accordingly, a charging session is maintained for the user of the group. In this way, group charging can be achieved, thereby avoiding a complex signaling interaction process, and improving the charging efficiency.

Abstract translation: 本公开公开了一种组计费方法，网关设备，计费设备和通信系统，并且涉及通信技术领域。 该方法包括：获得用户的组身份和个人身份信息; 获取根据组身份生成的计费规则; 根据群体身份，个人身份信息和收费规则，建立与群组身份相对应的群组帐户的收费会话，使得收费系统根据群体身份和收费规则进行群体收费。 在本公开中，根据用户的组标识确定用户属于某个组，因此，为组的用户维护计费会话。 以这种方式，可以实现组充电，从而避免复杂的信令交互过程，并提高充电效率。
