Background technology
Current wireless mobile communication technology develops rapidly, in research and on realizing, all obtain great technological break-through.Meanwhile, various broadband access technology continues to bring out, and constitutes multiple heterogeneous network in future wireless system and the communication network general layout of depositing.In addition, along with the deployment of various broadband access and carrying out of commercialized services, and the development of various intelligent terminal and mobile service is popularized, the high speed development of mobile Internet, and operator obtains constantly soaring data traffic.The role of Incumbent is occurring to change unconsciously.In order to tackle COS from single speech in conjunction with a small amount of data communication, develop to the multi-service such as multimedia, IPTV overlay model, and the change of industry value chain, operator has in the face of numerous and in the ISP progressively grown and application provider.
The network pipeline offered load of current operator is unbalanced, and network traffics are increased sharply and network design issue directly causes network congestion.Flow on network presents serious lack of uniformity: load is uneven between the fixed mobile network of same overlay area and between different mobile network; System busy idle flow difference is large, and system availability is low; A large amount of Internet resources of low value CU etc.Traditional communication pipe does not have related mechanism to provide unified flag information to situations such as the resource occupation of each section of whole communication network, " label information " report ununified to the signal intelligence of each section of network.Do not provide the information such as delay, error code, resource occupation of user data service at each section of communication network on the one hand.On the other hand network quality is just generally evaluated end to end, not specific to the signal intelligence of each section of network, be unfavorable for evaluating and optimizing targetedly network each section of link-quality and occupation condition.
How being made a profit by communication pipe operation, how to carry out flow management, how " dumb pipe " is become more intelligent, to create the higher value income of network, is the current Tough questions faced of operator.For addressing these problems, Ericsson proposes intelligent pipeline concept, and power-assisted operator realizes the transition of network.
Intelligent pipeline, as the basis of carrying out " flow operation ", is just being subject to the favor of operator.Under intelligent pipeline, operator can implement the priority policy based on customer location; Meanwhile, operator can also implement the priority policy based on business, and such as some users show special preference to video class business, and operator can be the traffic service that its customized bandwidth is higher.
It can thus be appreciated that will realize flow operation, prerequisite allows the pipeline of operator can accomplish " user's identifiable design, business can be distinguished, quality controllable system, network ALARA Principle ".To this, the target architecture of intelligent pipeline should be divided into bearer control layer and bearer network network layers, namely on existing network basis, realizes carrying and is separated with the organic of control.Wherein, PCC (strategy and charging control) framework becomes the canonical reference framework of intelligent and networked control.Based PC C framework, can realize the policy control based on each dimensions such as user gradation, time, region, integrated flow, use duration, type of service, bandwidth.Except PCC, DPI(deep packet inspection technical) technology placed high hopes by operator equally.The process such as DPI equipment normally can forward according to the business game preset, block, limiting bandwidth, priority-labeled.But PCC framework and DPI technology are for user and business, do not provide corresponding management method to the overall planning of the communication pipe overall situation.
The patent that application number is " 201210049747.7 " provides a kind of intelligent pipeline control method based on intelligent terminal.But this patent is just for the business of intelligent terminal, select corresponding flow control policy by type of service classification, business value category and flow grade classification.And the patent that another section of application number is " 201210010674.0 " provides a kind of intelligent pipeline flow control method based on user behavior.This patent, according to user behavior and business statistics flow information, by user behavior cluster, is extracted user behavior data, thus is generated flow and charging control strategy.Similarly, this patent is a kind of charge on traffic control method for user behavior.Above two patents all do not have from communication pipe overall situation angle, the monitoring of communication pipe itself, control and management are carried out to the design of related mechanism method.
