Description

A kind of method of distributing control rule of policy billing
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of method of distributing control rule of policy billing, relate in particular to a kind of 3GPP (3rd Generation Partnership Project, third generation partner program) evolved packet system (Evolved Packet System, the method for distributing control rule of policy billing EPS).
Background technology
As shown in Figure 1, EPS is by E-UTRAN (Evolved Universal Terrestrial Radio AccessNetwork, the universal land radio access web of evolution), MME (mobile management unit, MobilityManagement Entity), S-GW (gateway, Serving Gateway), P-GW (PacketData Network GateWay, data network gateway), HSS (home subscriber server, HomeSubscriber Server), 3GPP aaa server (3GPP authentication and authorization charging server), PCRF (Policy and Charging Rules Function, "Policy and Charging Rules Function), reaching other supporting network element device forms.Wherein MME is responsible for the processing of mobile management, Non-Access Stratum signaling, user's chain of command related works such as the contextual management of mobile management; S-GW is the accessing gateway equipment that links to each other with E-UTRAN, transmits data between E-UTRAN and P-GW, and is responsible for pending datas such as paging are carried out buffer memory.P-GW then is the borde gateway of 3GPP evolved packet system and PDN (Packet Data Network, data network), is responsible for user terminal and transmits functions such as data to the access of PDN, between EPS and PDN.PCRF is the "Policy and Charging Rules Function entity, it is by Rx interface and operator's IP operation network interface, obtain business information, and link to each other with gateway device in the network by the S7/S7a/S7b/S7c interface, be responsible for initiating IP (Internet Protocol, Internet protocol) and carry strategic decision-making, foundation, deletion as carrying, the QoS of business datum/carrying (Quality OfService, service quality) etc., and the control of chargeing.
EPS supports the intercommunication with non-3GPP network.The intercommunication of EPS and non-3GPP network realizes that by the S2a/b/c interface P-GW is as 3GPP and the internetwork anchor point of non-3GPP.Wherein non-3GPP network is divided into non-3GPP network of trusted and the non-3GPP network of non-trust.The access of user terminal can be directly by S2a and P-GW interface in the non-3GPP network of trusted; The access of user terminal need be passed through ePDG (Evolved Packet Data Gateway, the data gateway of evolution) and links to each other with P-GW in the non-3GPP network of non-trust, and the interface between ePDG and P-GW is S2b.S2c is the interface between UE and the P-GW, adopts the DSMIPv6 agreement that control and mobile management are provided.
At traditional dynamic PCC of 3GPP network support (Policy and Charging Control, the strategy and the control of chargeing) time, strategy and charge execution function (Policy and charging enforcementfunction, be called for short PCEF) exist only among the P-GW, PCRF needs only the control that can finish all functions such as comprising QoS corresponding strategies and charging with the P-GW interface, passes through S7 interface exchange message between PCRF and P-GW.But, after the 3GPP network provides IWF with non-3GPP, interface when between P-GW and S-GW is based on PMIP (Proxy Mobile IP, proxy-mobile IP) during v6, because the limitation of PMIP interface, can not the transmission policy charge information, the partial function of PCEF, Cheng Zai binding function etc. for example, moved among the S-GW, be called bearing binding and event reporting function (BBERF, Bearer Binding and Event Reporting Function), pass through S7c interface exchange message between S-GW and the PCRF.When by the non-3GPP connecting system of trusted, the also resident BBERF in the trusted non-3 GPP access network Central Shanxi Plain.Pass through S7a interface exchange message between trusted non-3 GPP access network pass and the PCRF.When UE roamed, the S9 interface was as the interface of ownership place PCRF and visit ground PCRF.For providing professional AF (Application Function), UE sends the business information that is used to formulate the PCC rule to PCRF simultaneously by the Rx+ interface.For the non-3GPP network of non-trust, the function of part PCEF that ePDG is resident.
As shown in Figure 2, the attachment flow when passing through to adopt the PMIPv6 agreement to insert EPS between trusted non-3 GPP access network, P-GW and the trusted non-3 GPP access network pass for UE comprises the steps:
202:UE inserts the trusted non-3 GPP access network;
After 204:UE is linked into the trusted non-3 GPP access network, to HSS/AAA request carrying out EPS access authentication;
After 206:HSS/AAA receives the request of EPS access authentication, the UE of the request of sending is authenticated;
After 207:HSS/AAA finishes authentication to UE, close to the trusted non-3 GPP access network and to send the APN (APN) that the signatory P-GW of UE selects information and UE;
208: after the trusted non-3 GPP access network closes and receives P-GW selection information,, and, carry NAI (network access Identifier) and the APN of UE in the agent binding update messages to selected P-GW transmission agent binding update messages according to the selected P-GW of P-GW selection information;
After 210:P-GW receives agent binding update messages, send IP-CAN (IPConnectivity Access Network to PCRF, IP connects access network) session foundation indication, setting up the NAI, the P-GW that carry UE in the indication in the IP-CAN session is UE IP address allocated and APN;
212:PCRF receives after the IP-CAN session sets up indication, according to the NAI of UE and the CAMEL-Subscription-Information of APN inquiry UE, formulates the PCC rule according to the network strategy that disposes among user's CAMEL-Subscription-Information and the PCRF;
After 213:PCRF finishes the PCC Rulemaking, send the IP-CAN session to P-GW and set up acknowledge message, set up in this IP-CAN session and carry the PCC rule in the acknowledge message;
214:P-GW receives after the IP-CAN session sets up acknowledge message, installs also to carry out the IP-CAN session and set up the PCC rule of carrying in the acknowledge message, and the IP address with himself sends to HSS simultaneously;
216: and P-GW closes to the trusted non-3 GPP access network and returns proxy binding acknowledgment messages;
218: after the trusted non-3 GPP access network closes and receives proxy binding acknowledgment messages, send gateway control session to PCRF and set up request message, set up NAI and the APN that carries UE in the request message in gateway control session;
220:PCRF receives after gateway control session sets up request message, according to the NAI of UE and the CAMEL-Subscription-Information of APN inquiry UE, formulates qos policy according to the CAMEL-Subscription-Information that inquires;
After 222:PCRF finishes the QOS policy development, close the transmission gateway control session to the trusted non-3 GPP access network and set up acknowledge message, set up in gateway control session and carry the QOS strategy in the acknowledge message;
224: the trusted non-3 GPP access network closes and to receive after gateway control session sets up acknowledge message, and sets up the PMIPv6 tunnel between the P-GW, and UE can carry out data and send or accept, and this method finishes.
By said method, UE has set up an IP to the PDN network and has connected, and this IP connects and is called the IP-CAN session.Setting up a Diameter session respectively between P-GW and the PCRF and between trusted non-3 GPP access network pass and the PCRF, because the available technology adopting Diameter is set up this two connections, and these two Diameter sessions are relevant with the IP-CAN session that UE sets up, and PCRF issues the regular and QoS rule of PCC of this IP-CAN session being carried out strategy and charging control by these two Diameter sessions to P-GW and trusted non-3 GPP access network pass.
As shown in Figure 3, be the attachment flow figure of UE when adopting GTP (GPRS Tunnel Protocol, tunnel protocol) between E-UTRAN and P-GW and the S-GW, this method comprises following steps:
301:UE sends Attach Request message to MME;
After 302:MME receives Attach Request message, UE is authenticated, behind the authentication success, initiate more new technological process of position, HSS sends to MME with the subscription data of UE;
In the process that UE is authenticated, MME exchanges authentication-related information with HSS as required.
304: in verification process, the HSS P-GW selection information that UE is signatory sends to MME, and MME selects Information Selection P-GW and S-GW according to P-GW;
Behind selected P-GW of 305:MME and the S-GW, send the default bearing request of setting up to selected S-GW;
306:S-GW receives that MME sends set up the default bearing request after, transmit this to P-GW and set up the default bearing request;
308:P-GW receives that S-GW transmits set up the default bearing request after, send the IP-CAN session to PCRF and set up indication, setting up the NAI, the P-GW that carry UE in the indication in the IP-CAN session is its IP address allocated and its APN;
310:PCRF receives after the IP-CAN session sets up indication, according to the NAI of UE and the CAMEL-Subscription-Information of APN inquiry UE, formulates the PCC rule according to the network strategy that disposes among user's CAMEL-Subscription-Information and the PCRF;
After 311:PCRF finishes the formulation of PCC rule, send the IP-CAN session to P-GW and set up acknowledge message, set up in this IP-CAN session and carry the PCC rule in the acknowledge message;
312:P-GW receives after the IP-CAN session sets up acknowledge message, returns to S-GW and sets up the default bearing response message;
314:S-GW receives that P-GW sends set up the default bearing response message after, transmit this to MME and set up the default bearing response message;
316:MME receives that S-GW sends set up the default bearing response message after, initiate to set up radio bearer, and notice UE adheres to successfully;
After 318:MME notice UE adheres to successfully, initiate bearer update, radio bearer information is sent to S-GW;
After 320:S-GW receives radio bearer information, set up RAB with UE, set up GTP tunnel with P-GW, UE can carry out the data transmission or accept, and this method finishes.
Pass through said method, UE and a PDN have set up the IP-CAN session, set up the Diameter session between P-GW and the PCRF, this Diameter session is relevant with the IP-CAN session that UE sets up, and PCRF issues to P-GW by this Diameter session above-mentioned IP-CAN session is carried out strategy and the PCC rule of the control of chargeing.
The attachment flow that inserts EPS by above-mentioned two kinds of UE as can be known, when UE closes by the trusted non-3 GPP access network and adopts PMIPv6 to insert, PCRF needs and P-GW carries out alternately, give P-GW with the PCC rule downloading, and, PCRF also will close with the trusted non-3 GPP access network and carry out alternately, closes to the trusted non-3 GPP access network QOS policy distribution; And UE is when inserting EPS by adopting the GTP agreement between E-UTRAN and S-GW and the P-GW, and PCRF only needs carry out alternately with P-GW, issues the PCC rule to it.
Hence one can see that, when UE closes by the trusted non-3 GPP access network and adopts PMIPv6 to insert, under following two kinds of situations, will cause trusted non-3 GPP access network pass and the P-GW mismatch to the policy and charging control of business data flow.
(1) trusted non-3 GPP access network and 3GPP network are all supported dynamic PCC, PCRF receives the IP-CAN session of P-GW and sets up Indication message, finish the formulation of PCC rule and be handed down to P-GW, P-GW finishes the installation of PCC rule, and the link between trusted non-3 GPP access network pass and the PCRF causes PCRF not close to the trusted non-3 GPP access network thus and issue corresponding QoS rule because failure and other reasons is closed the trusted non-3 GPP access network and the gateway control session request message can't be sent to PCRF.At this moment, trusted non-3 GPP access network pass QoS rule that will issue according to HSS/AAA or pre-configured is controlled the access of UE.What P-GW and trusted non-3 GPP access network closed execution in this case is unmatched strategy.
(2) do not support dynamic PCC in trusted non-3 GPP access network pass, and during the dynamic PCC of 3GPP network support, equally, PCRF can be with the PCC rule downloading to P-GW, close and qos policy can't be issued to the trusted non-3 GPP access network, cause P-GW and trusted non-3 GPP access network to close and carry out unmatched strategy.
In the above two kinds of cases, trusted non-3 GPP access network pass and the P-GW mismatch to the policy and charging control of business data flow can take place all, cause the confusion of network.
When adopting the GTP agreement between UE is by E-UTRAN access and S-GW and P-GW, PCRF is only mutual with P-GW, therefore can not produce the situation of mismatch.
