The present invention discloses a method for reducing the load of Traffic Plane Function (TPF). The key of the method is that, according to the obtained indication on whether to perform charging, the TPF determines whether to perform charging operation for the service data flow using appropriate charging rules, if yes, the TPF performs the charging operation for the counting result of the service data flow and submits the charging information to the charging associated entities; otherwise, the TPF does not perform the charging operation for the counting result of the service data flow. By applying this invention, operation in the TPF is optimized such that the TPF only needs to perform necessary charging instead of performing charging operation for the service data flow which does not need to be charged. As a result, the load of the TPF is reduced, so is the load of network devices, and system efficiency is improved. Meanwhile, it is possible to avoid the waste of network resources aroused by various charging policies adopted by the operators, e.g., free of charge policy.

Un procédé de réduction de la charge d'un TPF se caractérise par le fait que le TPF détermine s'il doit effectuer ou non l'opération de facturation du flux de données de service au moyen de la règle de paiement correspondante sur la base de l'indication obtenue stipulant s'il doit facturer ou ne pas facturer et si c'est le cas, effectuer l'opération de facturation du résultat statistique du flux de données de service et en rendre compte aux fonctions chargées de la facturation, et dans le cas contraire, l'opération de facturation du résultat statistique du flux de données de service n'est pas effectuée. Cette invention optimise l'opération par laquelle le TPF rend compte des informations de facturation et rend le TPF responsable de l'exécution des opérations de facturation de manière à réduire ainsi la charge du TPF et la charge des dispositifs réseau et améliore par conséquent l'efficacité du système. Parallèlement, le gaspillage des ressources réseau est évité étant donné que le fournisseur applique diverses politiques de facturation, telle qu'une politique libre.
