A charging control apparatus, a method, and a system are disclosed. When a user equipment (UE) accesses a service that charges an over the top (OTT) service (SP), the charging control apparatus receives flow description information from a policy charging enforcement function (PCEF), determines a service identifier corresponding to the data flow; and sends the service identifier to the PCEF, so that the PCEF charges for the service according to the service identifier. When the UE accesses the service, the PCEF may obtain the service identifier from the charging control apparatus. In this way, the PCEF can obtain the service identifier and the charging identifier that are corresponding to the data flow. Therefore, a configuration workload can be decreased.

Charging control apparatus, method, and system

Embodiments of the present invention provide a congestion control method, a device, and a system. In the embodiments of the present invention, because a gateway device, unlike a gateway device that performs congestion control on all user equipments by using a same control policy in the prior art, performs congestion control on a user equipment according to a real-time location of the user equipment and a real-time congestion situation of a location region in which the user equipment is camping, thereby improving flexibility and accuracy of congestion control.
