Embodiment
For making the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention clearer, below in conjunction with accompanying drawing, the specific embodiment of the invention is described in further detail.
The present embodiment discloses a kind of method of selecting packet data network.
The present embodiment is by take the scene of WiMAX Access Network access EPC as example, illustrates that terminal selects the method for PDN.Described method as shown in Figure 1, concrete steps are as follows:
Step 101, MS/UE are to Anchor GW (Anchor Gateway, anchor ASN-GW) (the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol Relay of the DHCPRelay on, dynamic host configuration protocol relay) or DHCP Proxy (DHCP proxy) send DHCP discover (dynamic host configurationprotocol discover, DHCP is found) message or DHCP Request (DHCP request) message or DHCP Solicit message.Carry PDN in described DHCP discover message or DHCP Request message or DHCP Solicit message and select information, it can be APN (Access Point Name that described PDN selects information, APN) or the PDN domain name, the indication information that perhaps contains APN or PDN domain name, perhaps applied business information.Described PDN selection information is used to indicate the PDN that described MS/UE request connects.Described DHCP Relay and DHCP Proxy select one be present in system.
Concrete, in one embodiment, can directly expand described DHCPdiscover message or DHCP Request message or DHCP Solicit message by the mode that increases cell and carry described PDN selection information.In another is implemented, also can carry described PDN by the mode of expansion NAI and select information, and the NAI after described expansion is carried in described DHCP discover message or DHCPRequest message or DHCP Solicit message....! ] WiMAX-decoration}usernamerealm, wherein, RoutingRealm is the domain name item, is an option, when MS/UE is in roaming state, constructs the visited place domain-name information, is used for assisting Route Selection; WiMAX-decoration} is an option, is used for indicating the ability of MS/UE or intention etc., and this can be expanded, and expansion WiMAX-decoration item adopts the mode of " avp=xxx ", wherein " xxx " represent concrete property value; Username is the identity at user's home network identifying user.Describedly carry described PDN and can be specifically by expansion NAI, MS/UE NAI { the WiMAX-decoration} item arranges described PDN and selects information.Take described PDN selection information as APN as example, namely WiMAX-decoration} is set to " apn=XXX ".Described " apn=XXX " not necessarily need to use " apn " character, only need described PDN selection information to be arranged at that described { the WiMAX-decoration} item gets final product.
step 102, FA (Foreign Agent on described Anchor GW, the external agent) from described DHCP discover message or DHCP Request message or DHCP Solicit message, perhaps in another is implemented, in the NAI through expansion that carries from described DHCP discover message or DHCP Request message or DHCPSolicit message, the described PDN that parses described MS/UE selects information, and send PDN authorization requests PDN Authorization Request message to Authenticator (authentication device), carry described PDN in described PDN Authorization Request message and select information.Generally, it is generally acknowledged that described DHCP Relay or DHCP Proxy and described FA are positioned at same entity.
The PDN selection function of step 103, described Authenticator enters at terminal initial the user PDN subscription information of receiving from HSS/AAA in network process according to what preserve on it, PDN to described PDN selection information indication authorizes, and is that described terminal is selected grouped data network gateway PDN GW.Described mandate is specially: in user's PDN subscription information, comprised the PDN identification list that the user orders, namely which PDN the user can access.Authenticator parses described PDN and selects information from described PDN authorization requests PDN AuthorizationRequest message, determine that according to described PDN selection information MS/UE wants the PDN that connects, described PDN selects the list of the corresponding relation of information and PDN to determine in the negotiations process of network design, and described MS/UE and network side all use identical corresponding relation list, according to the network design agreement, remain with described corresponding relation list on described Authenticator, can select information inquiry to corresponding PDN according to described PDN.Further, described Authenticator determines by the described PDN subscription information of inquiry whether the PDN of described PDN selection information indication is included in the PDN list of user's subscription; If so, authorize and pass through, otherwise do not pass through.Pass through if authorize, described PDN selection functional entity is that described MS/UE distributes PDN GW address.
Need to prove, described Authenticator also may be positioned on described Anchor GW.At this moment, the GW of Anchor described in step 102 can omit to the step that described Authenticator sends described PDN AuthenrizationRequest message, but other guide still need be carried out.
By using the disclosed method of the embodiment of the present invention, terminal is by expansion DHCP discover message or DHCP Request message, can report that PDN selects information to network side, the PDN subscription information that the HSS/AAA that obtains in initial authentication that selects information by Authenticator according to described PDN and self preserve issues is that terminal is selected PDN GW, makes the terminal realization to the selection of PDN.
Above-described embodiment is take termination extension DHCP discover message or DHCP Request message or DHCP solicit message as example, illustrated that terminal selects the method for PDN.The disclosed scheme of above-described embodiment is applicable to the scene that the PDN of mode that MS/UE connects with Additional PDN and request connects.In described connection, network side is that described MS/UE distributes PDN GW according to initial policy.Merge in the scene of EPC network at WiMAX, described MS/UE might be that the Access Network from 3GPP switches and enters the WiMAX Access Network.Under this scene, level and smooth for what guarantee to switch, it is that it distributes and switches front identical PDN GW that described MS/UE need to ask network side.The present embodiment discloses the method that another kind of terminal is selected PDN, further to address this problem as a preferred embodiment.Described method as shown in Figure 2, concrete steps are as follows:
Step 201, terminal MS/UE DHCP Relay (the Dynamic HostConfiguration Protocol Relay on the Anchor GW, dynamic host configuration protocol relay)/FA (Foreign Agent, the external agent) send DHCP discover (dynamic host configuration protocol discover, DHCP is found) message.Generally, it is generally acknowledged that described DHCP Relay and described FA are positioned at same entity.
Optionally, carry PDN in described DHCP discover message and select information and access way indication (Request Type or Attach Type).Described PDN selection information is used to indicate the PDN that described MS/UE request connects, and described access way indication is used to indicate PDN establishment of connection mode.For example, if described access way is designated as initial (initially), represent that described MS/UE request connects with the PDN of initial access way and the indication of described PDN selection information.Described PDN establishment of connection mode is uninevitable consistent with the mode of described MS/UE access WiMAX network, be that described MS/UE switches access WiMAX network from the 3GPP Access Network, but described MS/UE still can ask to connect with the PDN that initial mode is set up after switching.Perhaps, if described access way is designated as handover (switching), represent that described MS/UE switches networking from other access net system, ask simultaneously after switching to connect with the PDN of described PDN selection information indication, and the PDN of described PDN selection information indication is identical with the PDN that connects before described MS/UE switches or described MS/UE switch before of a plurality of PDN of connection.Need to prove, if described access way is initial (initially), described access way indication also can be default, namely only carries described PDN in described DHCP discover message and select information.Alternative, carry described PDN in this enforcement and select the mode of information and access way indication also can adopt the mode of the described PDN selection of expansion information in NAI to carry in described DHCP discover message.Concrete mode can be with reference to step 101 part embodiment illustrated in fig. 1.If adopt in the mode of expansion NAI and carry described access way indication, with carry described PDN by expansion NAI and select like info class, define the property value pair of access way indication, for example " AT=xxx ", wherein ' xxx ' value is initial or handover.Select information and the indication of described access way if carry simultaneously described PDN, carry simultaneously two property values pair, define respectively described PDN and select information and the indication of described access way.
Optionally, can also carry other parameters relevant with the network integration in described DHCP discover message, for example be used to indicate the PCO (Protocol Configuration Option, protocol configuration option) of protocol configuration type.Described PCO can indicate follow-up PDN to connect and set up which kind of MIP of employing (Mobile Internet Protocol, Mobile Internet Protocol) registration in process.In the narration of the present embodiment, will be example with PMIPv4 (Proxy Mobile Internet Protocol 4, proxy mobile internet protocol 4).Perhaps, described PCO can also indicate the desired IP address assignment mode of described MS/UE.In the narration of the present embodiment, will be take DHCP as example.
If the DHCP discover message in step 201 carries PDN and selects information, execution in step 202 is to step 204, otherwise direct execution in step 205.
