Description

Realize the method and system that interdepartmental system switches in the grouping system of evolution
Technical field
The present invention relates to mobile communication technology, refer to especially in a kind of grouping system of evolution, support UE to insert under the scene of same PDN many times and realize the method and system that interdepartmental system switches.
Background technology
Fig. 1 is existing third generation partner program (3GPP, 3rd Generation Partnership Project) grouping system (EPS of evolution, Evolved Packet System) composition configuration diagram, as shown in Figure 1,3GPP EPS is by the universal mobile telecommunications system land radio access web (E-UTRAN of evolution, EvolvedUniversal Terrestrial Radio Access Network), mobile management unit (MME, MobilityManagement Entity), gateway (S-GW, Serving Gateway), grouped data network gateway (P-GW, Packet Data Network Gateway, claim PDN GW again), home subscriber server (HSS, Home Subscriber Server), authentication and authorization charging (the AAA of 3GPP, Authentication, Authorization and Accounting) server, "Policy and Charging Rules Function (PCRF, Policy andCharging Rules Function) entity and other support nodes are formed.
Wherein, MME is used for the processing and the work relevant with chain of command such as the contextual management of user's mobile management of mobile management, Non-Access Stratum signaling.S-GW is the accessing gateway equipment that links to each other with E-UTRAN, be used between E-UTRAN and P-GW, transmitting data, and be responsible for pending datas such as paging are carried out buffer memory, S-GW is also referred to as Mobile Access Gateway (MAG, Mobile Access Gateway) in other grouping system.P-GW is the borde gateway of EPS and packet data network (PDN, Packet Data Network), is used to realize that the access of PDN reaches functions such as transmitting data between EPS and PDN.PCRF is the "Policy and Charging Rules Function entity, PCRF is by receiving interface Rx interface and carrier network agreement (IP, InternetProtoco1) business network links to each other, obtain business information, PCRF also links to each other with gateway device in the network by the Gx/Gxa/Gxc interface, is used to initiate the foundation of IP carrying, the service quality (QoS of assurance business datum, and the control of chargeing Quality of Service).
As shown in Figure 1, EPS supports the intercommunication with non-3 GPP system, and the intercommunication of EPS and non-3 GPP system realizes that by the S2a/S2b/S2c interface P-GW is as the anchor point between 3GPP and non-3 GPP system.Wherein, non-3 GPP system is divided into trusted non-3GPP IP Access Network and trustless non-3GPP IP Access Network.The non-3GPP IP of trusted Access Network can directly be connected with P-GW by the S2a interface; Trustless non-3GPP IP Access Network links to each other with P-GW through the packet data gateway (ePDG, Evolved Packet Data Gateway) of evolution, and the interface between ePDG and P-GW is S2b.S2c provides UE and user's face relevant control and mobility support between the P-GW, and the mobility management protocol of its support is for supporting the mobile IP v 6 (DSMIPv6, Mobile IPv6support for dual stack Hosts and Routers) of two stacks.
In the 3GPP network between EPS, strategy and charge execution function (PCEF, Policy andcharging enforcement function) is present among the P-GW, PCRF needs only the control that can finish all functions with the P-GW interface, as shown in Figure 1, pass through Gx interface exchange message between PCRF and P-GW.When the interface between P-GW and S-GW during based on PMIPv6, S-GW also exists bearing binding and event reporting function (BBERF, Bearer Binding and Event Report Function) business data flow is carried out QoS control, as shown in Figure 1, pass through Gxc interface exchange message between S-GW and the PCRF.When inserting by the trusted non-3 GPP access network, the trusted non-3 GPP access network Central Shanxi Plain is also resident BBERF.
As shown in Figure 1, pass through Gxa interface exchange message between trusted non-3 GPP access network pass and the PCRF.When UE roamed, S9 interface (not shown) was as the interface of ownership place PCRF and visit ground PCRF.For providing professional application function (AF, Application Function), UE sends the business information that is used to generate strategy and charges (PCC, Policy and charging control) rule to PCRF simultaneously by Rx interface.
The EPS system supports many PDN (Multiple PDN) to insert, and promptly (UE UserEquipment) can be linked into a plurality of PDN by a plurality of P-GW or a P-GW to subscriber equipment simultaneously; And EPS supports that UE can insert same PDN many times simultaneously.
In 3GPP, can find corresponding PDN by Access Point Name (APN, Access Point Name), can think that UE can keep a plurality of PDN of same APN are connected simultaneously.Usually claim UE to be connected to an IP and connect Access Network (IP-CAN, IP Connectivity AccessNetwork) session, that is to say that EPS supports UE the while with a PDN a plurality of IP-CAN sessions to be arranged to of PDN.UE can be respectively in the 3GPP access network or in non-3GPP network, set up a plurality of IP and be connected with a PDN, but can not in different access networks, keep IP to connect simultaneously.Therefore, when the interdepartmental system that switches between 3GPP network and non-3GPP network as UE switches, the IP in the access network of source must be connected and all switch in the target access network.
According to present agreement, in interdepartmental system handoff procedure, UE sends the sign that carries switching in the PDN connection request (request PDN connection) to target access network; After gateway equipment in the target access network (for the 3GPP system) or access device (for non-3 GPP system) obtain the PDN connection identifier that distributes for this PDN connection in the new connecting system, the PDN connection identifier that will distribute in agent binding update (PBU, Proxy Binding Update) message sends to P-GW.Because the PDN connection identifier of source connecting system and target access system is not same, therefore, which PDN P-GW can't determine in the needs handover source connecting system according to the PDN connection identifier of goal systems to connect, in this case, P-GW can only carry out the switching that PDN connects according to an order at random.Because interdepartmental system switches the switching that requirement must be carried out whole PDN connections, therefore, the order of switching the PDN connection is unimportant, and still, the method for the interdepartmental system switching of the realization of agreement regulation at present cause following problem can for the policy control of EPS:
Switch to the flow process of 3GPP system from non-3 GPP system, the S-GW of 3GPP is before sending PBU message to P-GW, BBERF functional unit among the S-GW can obtain the Qos rule that this IP is connected alternately with PCRF, but, this moment 3GPP S-GW also not have P-GW be the UE IP address allocated, at present BBERF brings in the message of PCRF and has only network access Identifier (NAI in the agreement, NetworkAccess Identifier) and APN, PCRF according to these information can't be from non-3GPP connecting system this UE with select one during a plurality of PDN that APN sets up down are connected before the IP CAN session of setting up generate QoS rule downloading in the new access network to BBERF, that is to say that PCRF can't carry out related with the IP-CAN conversation message gateway control session message that belongs to same PDN connection; And, must distinguish different IP-CAN session of UE for PCRF, could carry out different policy and charging control to different IP-CAN sessions.From switching to the flow process of non-3GPP, 3GPP also exists above-mentioned problem.
Method from the interdepartmental system switching of the realization of present agreement regulation, because PCRF can't carry out related with the IP-CAN session gateway control session that belongs to same PDN connection, can not realize having influenced user's business realizing at the strategy of different IP-CAN session and the control of chargeing.

Embodiment
Fig. 2 realizes the flow chart of the method that interdepartmental system switches for the present invention, and as shown in Figure 2, the inventive method may further comprise the steps:
Step 200: in the interdepartmental system request during the many PDN of single APN connect, PCRF chooses the qos parameter that a PDN current APN under connects, and is regular and be handed down to MAG according to the QoS in the new connecting system of this qos parameter decision-making.
In this step, PCRF to be according to the gateway control session request of setting up, and determines current request and be the interdepartmental system request during the many PDN of single APN connect.
Before this step, may there be two kinds of situations, a kind of situation is that UE triggers new PDN connection again in the network of current access, UE carries the PDN connection request of the APN of new PDN correspondence to the MME initiation, UE carries out authentication in the 3GPP network, UE is by after the authentication, and MME sends default bearing to S-GW and sets up request, wherein carries the APN and the default bearing ID (bearID) of new PDN correspondence; Another kind of situation is, after UE detects and takes place to switch between network, initiate to carry the handoff request of APN and switching mark (Handover indication) to MME, UE carries out authentication in the 3GPP network, UE is by after the authentication, MME sends to S-GW and creates the carrying request, wherein carries the APN and the default bearing ID that receive.
In this step, the S-GW of the resident BBERF of having is after receiving the request of setting up carrying, in the gateway control session foundation request that PCRF sends, carry address information and the default bearing ID of APN, NAI and wireless access type (RAT, Radio Access type), MAG at least.After PCRF receives this control session foundation request, according to RAT, perhaps to judge current switching be between interdepartmental system during the many PDN of single APN are connected or intra-system handover for the address parameter of RAT and MAG and default bearing ID parameter, judge the RAT that the RAT that receives stores with self such as PCRF different, simultaneously according to the state that has existed a plurality of PDN to connect under this APN, determine that then the request of setting up of this gateway control session is request between a system, under the interdepartmental system handoff scenario of the many PDN of single APN under connecting; For another example, it is identical that PCRF judges the RAT that the RAT that receives stores with self, the address of the MAG that receives is different with the address of the MAG that self stores, simultaneously among a plurality of default bearing ID of default bearing ID and self storage is identical, determines that then the request of setting up of this gateway control session is a handoff request under the many PDN connections of intrasystem, the single APN scene.
PCRF can choose the qos parameter that PDN current APN under connects according to the order (perhaps randomly) of storage and carry out the QoS decision-making as the decision basis of qos parameter in the new connecting system, with the QoS rule that obtains newly to make a strategic decision; And the new QoS rule that will obtain is set up acknowledge message by gateway control session and is handed down to MAG.How to carry out the QoS decision-making, belong to those skilled in the art's conventional techniques means, repeat no more here to obtain new QoS rule.What this step was emphasized is that PCRF does not utilize the default bearing ID that creates in the carrying request, but judge to after the interdepartmental system of the many PDN of single APN in being connected switch by RAT (or address of RAT and MAG), choose qos parameter that a PDN current APN under connects decision basis as qos parameter in the new connecting system.
Step 201:MAG obtains to switch according to the QoS rule and connects IP address or prefix, and sends agent binding update messages to P-GW, carries in the described agent binding update messages to switch to connect IP address or prefix; P-GW initiates the indication of IP-CAN session modification to PCRF.
BBERF among the MAG uses this IP address or prefix to be carried in the PBU message and sends to P-GW according to IP address or prefix in the QoS rule that obtains, and this IP address or prefix connect the IP address as switching; After P-GW received PBU message, the PCEF among the P-GW sent the IP-CAN session foundation indication that the switching that carries in the PBU message connects the IP address to PCRF.
Step 202:PCRF sets up the switching of carrying in the indication according to this session and connects IP address or prefix, sets up the related of gateway control session and IP-CAN session, and with the PCC rule downloading of this IP-CAN session in new Access Network to P-GW.
PCRF connects the IP allocation index to corresponding IP-CAN session according to the switching that receives, thereby which IP-CAN session what know present gateway control session correspondence is, and formulate the PCC rule of this IP-CAN session in new access network, again that foundation between this IP-CAN session and the current gateway control session is related.Here the specific implementation of formulating the PCC rule belongs to those skilled in the art's conventional techniques means, and its specific implementation and the inventive method are irrelevant, repeat no more here.
The PCC rule downloading that PCRF connects this PDN is given the BBERF among the P-GW.After the P-GW update content, return agent binding response (Proxy Binding Ack) to MAG, MAG returns to MME and sets up bearing response message.Set up radio bearer alternately by MME, evolution base station and UE.

Be example with 3GPP EPS system below, the inventive method be described in detail in conjunction with two embodiment.
First embodiment in the present embodiment, supposes that UE is in the coverage of 3GPP, inserts by E-UTRAN, and adopts the PMIPv6 agreement between S-GW and the P-GW.Suppose that UE has inserted a PDN1 by P-GW, UE triggers new PDN again and connects, and promptly inserts this PDN1 again.Fig. 3 is the schematic flow sheet that UE among the present invention initiates first embodiment of PDN connection request, as shown in Figure 3, may further comprise the steps:
Step 300:UE carries out and initially is attached to E-UTRAN, obtains to be connected with the IP of acquiescence PDN1 by P-GW.
Step 301:UE decision is set up new PDN with PDN1 and is connected, and sends the PDN connection request to MME, carries the APN of PDN1 correspondence in this PDN connection request.
Step 302:UE carries out authentication in the 3GPP system.Specific implementation can be stipulated referring to related protocol, repeat no more here.
Step 303:MME sends to S-GW and sets up the default bearing request, and this sets up APN and the default bearing ID that carries the PDN1 correspondence in the default bearing request.
Step 304: the S-GW of the resident BBERF of having initiates gateway control session to PCRF and sets up Indication message, and this gateway control session is set up the APN that carries the PDN1 correspondence in the Indication message, NAI, RAT, the address of S-GW and default bearing ID.
Step 305: at first, PCRF sets up NAI and the APN that carries in the Indication message according to gateway control session, learn and under this APN, had an IP-CAN session, address according to RAT and S-GW does not change simultaneously, default bearing ID is different with the default bearing ID of the IP-CAN session of self storing simultaneously, judges UE and has set up a PDN connection to PDN1 again.Then, PCRF formulates PCC rule and QoS rule according to user's subscription data, network strategy, carrying attribute etc., simultaneously, also may further formulate the events corresponding trigger; At last, PCRF returns gateway control session to S-GW and sets up acknowledge message, and QoS rule, event trigger are sent to S-GW.
Step 306:S-GW installs QoS rule and event trigger, and S-GW sends agent binding update messages to P-GW, carries the APN of PDN1 correspondence in this agent binding update messages, NAI and default bearing ID.
Step 307: the P-GW of the resident PCEF of having sends the IP-CAN session to PCRF and sets up Indication message, and the APN that carries the PDN1 correspondence in the Indication message is set up in this IP-CAN session, and NAI, default bearing ID and P-GW are the UE IP address allocated.PCRF passes through NAI, the APN of PDN1 correspondence and default bearing ID set up Indication message and the gateway control session in the step 304 with the IP-CAN session and set up Indication message and carry out relatedly, set up context relation that Indication message sets up at PCRF to same IP-CAN session thereby Indication message and gateway control session are set up in the IP-CAN session.
Step 308:PCRF returns the IP-CAN session to P-GW and sets up acknowledge message, and this IP-CAN session is set up and carried corresponding PCC rule and event trigger in the acknowledge message.
PCEF among the step 309:P-GW installs PCC rule and event trigger, and P-GW returns proxy binding acknowledgment messages to S-GW, and carrying P-GW in this proxy binding acknowledgment messages is the UE IP address allocated.
Step 310a: if the IP-CAN session is set up the information of carrying in the Indication message and caused the QoS rule that variation has taken place in the step 304, PCRF will give information by gateway control and QoS rule new QoS rule will be sent to BBERF among the S-GW.If change has also taken place event trigger, provide new event trigger.This message can send simultaneously with step 305; Step 301b:S-GW returns gateway control and the QoS rule provides acknowledge message to PCRF.
Step 311:S-GW returns default bearing to MME and sets up response message, and this default bearing is set up and carried P-GW in the response message is the UE IP address allocated.
Mutual between step 312:MME, eNodeB, the UE, set up radio bearer.
Step 313: after radio bearer was set up, MME can send more new bearer request to S-GW, the address information of notice eNodeB etc., S-GW echo reply message.
From first embodiment as seen, PCRF sets up NAI and the APN that carries in the Indication message according to gateway control session, learn and under this APN, had an IP-CAN session, address according to RAT and S-GW does not change simultaneously, default bearing ID is new default bearing ID, judge UE and set up a PDN connection again, thereby formulate PCC rule and QoS rule according to user's subscription data, network strategy, carrying attribute to PDN1; And at P-GW when PCRF sends the IP-CAN session and sets up Indication message, PCRF sets up the NAI that carries in the Indication message by the IP-CAN session, the APN of PDN1 correspondence and default bearing ID, Indication message is set up in the IP-CAN session to be set up Indication message with the gateway control session in the step 304 and carries out related, thereby correctly the IP-CAN session being set up Indication message sets up Indication message with gateway control session and arrives same IP-CAN session at the context relation that PCRF sets up, realized having guaranteed user's business realizing at the strategy of different IP-CAN session and the control of chargeing.

Step 404: the BBERF that resides on the S-GW sends gateway control session foundation request to PCRF, and this gateway control session is set up in the request and had NAI, APN, RAT, parameters such as the address information of S-GW and default bearing ID.
Step 405:PCRF judges the RAT that receives and the address of S-GW, the RAT that the current UE that stores with self is corresponding is different with the address of S-GW, thereby determine that the request of setting up of this gateway control session is a request under the interdepartmental system handoff scenario under the many PDN connections of single APN, therefore, the decision basis of the QoS that the QoS rule that PDN of picked at random connected a plurality of PDN of PRCF under this APN connected connects as this PDN in the new access network, and set up the QoS rule that acknowledge message will newly make a strategic decision by gateway control session and return to BBERF.
Step 406:S-GW sets up the acknowledge message from gateway control session, obtains corresponding QoS rule and IP address or the prefix in the QoS rule; IP address in the QoS rule or prefix as a field in the agent binding update messages, and are sent to P-GW as switching the IP address.In agent binding update messages, also carry information such as APN, RAT.
Step 407~step 408: reside in the switching IP address that the PCEF on the P-GW will obtain and be carried in the indication of IP-CAN session modification from agent binding update messages, send to PCRF.PCRF switches the IP allocation index to corresponding IP-CAN session according to this, and the PCC strategic decision-making that this IP-CAN session is carried out in the new Access Network obtains new PCC rule, and then carries out related with gateway control session the IP-CAN session.
Also carry APN, NAI, default bearing ID etc. in the indication of IP-CAN session modification.
The PCC rule downloading that this PDN that step 409:PCRF will newly make a strategic decision connects is given BBERF.
After step 410:P-GW upgrades the content of BCE, send proxy binding acknowledgment messages to S-GW, the parameter of carrying in this proxy binding acknowledgment messages comprises: this time the effective time (lifetime) of binding, the IP address information of UE is used for the GRE key of up link etc.
Step 411:S-GW returns the establishment bearing response message to MME, carries the IP address of UE in this establishment bearing response message.Mutual between MME, eNodeB, the UE, set up radio bearer.
After radio bearer was set up, MME can be by sending more new bearer request, the address information of notice eNodeB etc., S-GW echo reply message to S-GW.
From second embodiment as seen, PCRF sets up the RAT that carries in the Indication message according to gateway control session and variation has all taken place in the address of S-GW, judging the request of setting up of this gateway control session is a request under the interdepartmental system handoff scenario under the many PDN connections of single APN, and UE has carried out the switching between system.The decision basis of the QoS that the QoS rule that PDN of picked at random connected thereby a plurality of PDN of PCRF under this APN connected connects as this PDN in the new access network, and set up the QoS rule that acknowledge message will newly make a strategic decision by gateway control session and return to S-GW; At P-GW when PCRF sends the IP-CAN session and sets up Indication message, PCRF according to IP-CAN session set up the switching IP allocation index that carries in the Indication message to corresponding IP-CAN session, and the PCC strategic decision-making that this IP-CAN session is carried out in the new Access Network obtains to return to P-GW after the new PCC rule, and carry out related with gateway control session the IP-CAN session, thereby correctly the IP-CAN session being set up Indication message sets up Indication message with gateway control session and arrives same IP-CAN session at the context relation that PCRF sets up, realized having guaranteed user's business realizing at the strategy of different IP-CAN session and the control of chargeing.
The above is preferred embodiment of the present invention only, is not to be used to limit protection scope of the present invention, all any modifications of being done within the spirit and principles in the present invention, is equal to and replaces and improvement etc., all should be included within protection scope of the present invention.
