Detailed Description
The overall architecture of the 5G network mainly includes a 5G access network and a 5G core network, where NG-RAN represents the 5G access network, and 5GC represents the 5G core network, please refer to fig. 1.
Wherein, the 5G access network (NG-RAN) 5G access network mainly comprises the following two nodes:
gNB provides NR (New Radio) user plane and control plane protocol and function for 5G network user;
ng-eNB: the user plane and control plane protocols and functions of NR are provided for 4G network users.
The interfaces between the gNB and the gNB, between the gNB and the ng-eNB, and between the ng-eNB and the gNB are Xn interfaces.
The core network of 5G mainly comprises the following parts:
AMF (Access and Mobility Management Function, access and mobility management functions): is mainly responsible for access and mobility management functions (control plane).
UPF: for supporting user plane functions, the functions mainly include: a/D (analog/digital) conversion; signaling conversion; UNI (User Networks interface, user network side interface) function termination; activation/deactivation of UNI; UNI load path/bearer capability handling; the testing, maintenance, management and control functions of the UNI.
SMF: the important functional unit for taking charge of session management function, is an important functional unit for 5GC, takes charge of processing service of users, and can be seen as a combination of a bearer management part of MME (Mobility Management Entity, mobility management node function) and control plane functions of SGW (Serving GateWay) and PGW (PDN GateWay, PDN (Public Data Network public data network)).
If the actual location of the ue (i.e. the terminal) changes during the use of the mobile network, and the location change causes handover of the cell/base station corresponding to the network accessed by the user, the UPF is triggered to Report a Session Report to the SMF caused by the handover, and the Report is sent in the form of URR. If the accessed network changes frequently in a short time, the UPF reports to the SMF frequently, so that a signaling storm is caused to a control surface between the SMF and the UPF, and the system is impacted.
In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more apparent, the following detailed description of the embodiments of the present invention is given with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are for purposes of illustration only and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention.
Embodiment one:
in order to reduce the possibility of forming a signaling storm between the UPF and the SMF, avoid impacting the system and ensure the communication performance, the embodiment provides a service reporting configuration method, referring to fig. 2, including:
s201, a session control message is sent to a UPF, wherein the session control message carries preset interval time information, and the preset interval time information comprises preset interval time of the UPF for sending first URRs, and the time interval of the first URRs is larger than or equal to the preset interval time;
s202, receiving a first URR sent by the UPF based on preset interval time.
The SMF is used as a control surface network element and can control the process of reporting the service to the SMF by the UPF. In the embodiment of the present invention, the reporting frequency of the UPF is reduced, that is, the time interval between the URRs needs to be limited in the reporting process of the UPF, so in S201, the SMF sends a session control message to the UPF, where the session control message is used to control the UPF to report the first URRs to the SMF, and a preset interval time is set between the first URRs, and reporting of the UPF is allowed only if the time interval between the two first URRs is greater than or equal to the preset interval time. To achieve this, the session control message sent by the SMF carries preset interval time information, which is used to characterize the preset interval time of the UPF sending the first URR. It should be noted that the length of the preset interval time may be determined according to a specific application scenario, and the numerical value of the preset interval time is not specifically limited in the embodiment of the present invention.
After the SMF sends the session control message to the UPF, the UPF may determine a minimum time interval, that is, a preset interval time, of the first URR transmission according to preset interval time information carried in the session control message; if the time of the first URR to be reported is smaller than the time of the first URR to be reported at the previous time in the process of reporting the service, the reporting is not performed at the present time, but the service information to be reported at the present time is temporarily stored locally; as for the specific reporting time of the temporarily stored service information, two types of reporting time can be classified:
firstly, waiting for the arrival of a preset interval time, reporting the temporarily stored service information; the method is equivalent to that the service reporting is carried out once every time the preset interval time is passed, and certainly, the service reporting is a precondition that network switching is needed, and if the network switching does not occur, the service reporting is not carried out;
secondly, the service reporting is performed after waiting until the time, and compared with the last reporting time, the interval is larger than or equal to the preset interval time, so that the service information temporarily stored in the time period can be uniformly reported along with the service reporting. This approach is equivalent to service reporting at the time when there is service reporting, but not timing reporting, and is more flexible than timing reporting.
In some embodiments, before sending the session control message to the user plane function UPF, it may further include:
and configuring preset interval time for the UPF to send the first URR. After the preset interval time is configured, that is, after the minimum time interval sent between the specific first URRs is determined, a preset interval time field corresponding to the preset interval time may be added to the session control message. Specifically, referring to table 1 below, the embodiment of the present invention implements setting of the preset time interval field by adding a corresponding IE (Information Elements, information element) in the R16 standard of 3GPP (3 rd Generation Partnership Project, third generation partnership project).
TABLE 1
Figure BDA0003326923520000041
In some embodiments, in a preset interval time for configuring the UPF to send the first URR, the specific type of the first URR may include a URR corresponding to the same service on the same terminal; or, the first URR includes URRs corresponding to all services on the same terminal. The service reporting in the embodiment of the invention aims at the service reporting caused by network switching, because the position switching of the user equipment is uncontrollable for SMF and UPF, and the SMF and UPF can not know the action track of the user in advance; other types of service reporting of the UPF to the SMF, such as usage monitoring reporting, charging reaching reporting and the like, can be realized, and the service reporting can be realized by setting corresponding reporting thresholds through the SMF so as to control reporting frequencies thereof, such as setting a usage upper limit, a charging upper limit and the like, and changing the corresponding reporting frequencies of the UPF by changing threshold values such as a user upper limit, a charging upper limit and the like. In the embodiment of the invention, the service report caused by the network switch is defined as the first URR, that is, the service report caused by the service of the terminal in the network switch is defined as the first URR, for example, when a user uses a certain network application program on the terminal, and the network used by the network application program has the corresponding cell/base station switched, the report of the first URR is correspondingly triggered. More specifically, in the embodiment of the present invention, the type of the first URR may be:
URR corresponding to the same service on the same terminal; the method includes that a first URR corresponds to a specific service on a terminal, such as a WeChat application on the terminal, if a network used by the WeChat application is switched, reporting of the first URR is correspondingly triggered; if the network of the WeChat application is not switched, but the network of other applications is switched, for the WeChat application, the URR corresponding to other applications is not the first URR, but other relatively independent URRs (which can be named as second URR), and the reporting of the URR is not influenced by the first URR, but the service reporting is carried out independently.
URR corresponding to all services on the same terminal; this means that all network handoffs of traffic on the terminal correspond to the same URR.
In some embodiments, the session control message may specifically include one of:
a session establishment request message; session modification request message. Among session messages between SMF and UPF, there are and only session establishment request messages and session modification request messages that can implement the giving and modification of information elements; therefore, in the embodiment of the invention, the preset interval time information is carried by the session establishment request message or the session modification request message, so that the time control of reporting the UPF service is realized.
In some embodiments, before sending the session control message to the user plane function UPF, it may further include:
and determining that the network switching times of any service are greater than or equal to a preset switching threshold value within a preset duration of the corresponding terminal. The service reporting configuration method in the embodiment of the invention aims to reduce the service reporting frequency of UPF under the condition that the terminal frequently switches network scenes and reduce the possibility of causing signaling storm; if the terminal is not switching the network frequently, the preset interval time of the corresponding service report is not required to be set; in other words, if the current user frequently reports the switching service, the preset interval time for reporting the switching service by the UPF may be configured to reduce the reporting frequency in a short time by the service reporting configuration method in the embodiment of the present invention. Of course, the SMF may also set a preset interval time for reporting the switching service for the UPF or the terminal directly, without considering whether the corresponding terminal frequently performs network switching in a short period.
According to the service reporting configuration method provided by the embodiment of the invention, the session control message is sent to the UPF, the session control message carries the preset interval time information, the preset interval time information comprises the preset interval time of the UPF sending the first quantity report rule URR, and the time interval between the sending of the first URRs is more than or equal to the preset interval time; and receiving the first URR sent by the UPF based on the preset interval time, wherein in certain implementation processes, the preset interval time is set so that the UPF does not report the first URR frequently in a short time, the possibility of forming a signaling storm between the UPF and the SMF is effectively reduced, the impact on a system is avoided, and the communication performance is ensured.
Embodiment two:
in order to reduce the possibility of forming a signaling storm between the UPF and the SMF, avoid impacting the system and ensure the communication performance, the embodiment provides a service reporting configuration method, referring to fig. 3, including:
s301, receiving a session control message sent by the SMF;
s302, acquiring preset interval time information carried in a session control message;
s303, sending the first URR to the SMF at a time interval greater than or equal to the preset interval time through the preset interval time for sending the first URR corresponding to the preset interval time information.
The UPF can report the service of network switching to the SMF at a limited time interval under the control of the SMF; in S301, the UPF receives a session control message sent by the SMF, where the session control message carries preset interval time information corresponding to a preset interval time for controlling the UPF to report the first URR, and based on the preset interval time information, the UPF can learn that a time interval between uploading the first URR at each time cannot be smaller than the preset interval time, that is, the UPF needs to send the first URR to the SMF at a time interval greater than or equal to the preset interval time. It should be noted that the length of the preset interval time may be determined according to a specific application scenario, and the numerical value of the preset interval time is not specifically limited in the embodiment of the present invention.
After receiving the session control message sent by the SMF, the UPF may acquire preset interval time information therein, and then, for the preset interval time information, the UPF may save the preset interval time information into a context of the first URR, so as to reference when the subsequent first URR sends, and determine legal sending time.
In some embodiments, sending the first URR to the SMF at time intervals greater than or equal to a preset interval time may specifically include:
when triggering service reporting, judging real-time interval time between the current time and the last first URR reporting time;
when the real-time interval time is smaller than the preset interval time, the network switching information of the service to be reported is temporarily stored locally;
and when the real-time interval time is greater than or equal to the preset interval time, the temporary stored network switching information is sent to the SMF through the first URR. In order to enable the time interval between the two times of first URR reporting to be not smaller than the preset interval time, if the service reporting is triggered currently and the real-time interval time between the current time and the last time of the first URR reporting is smaller than the preset interval time in the specific process of the first URR reporting, the service reporting is delayed and the network switching information of the service to be reported is temporarily stored locally; the temporary storage aims at saving the network switching operation which has occurred, and avoiding deviation of network charging caused by unadapted updating; after the requirement of the preset interval time is met, the stored network switching information can be reported through the subsequent first URR, and in the process, the first URR can report all stored switching services in the period of time.
The specific reporting time of the temporarily stored service information can be divided into two types:
firstly, waiting for the arrival of a preset interval time, reporting the temporarily stored service information; the method is equivalent to that the service reporting is carried out once every time the preset interval time is passed, and certainly, the service reporting is a precondition that network switching is needed, and if the network switching does not occur, the service reporting is not carried out;
secondly, the service reporting is performed after waiting until the time, and compared with the last reporting time, the interval is larger than or equal to the preset interval time, so that the service information temporarily stored in the time period can be uniformly reported along with the service reporting. This approach is equivalent to service reporting at the time when there is service reporting, but not timing reporting, and is more flexible than timing reporting.
In some embodiments, when the real-time interval is smaller than the preset interval, temporarily storing the network switching information of the service to be reported locally may specifically include:
to-be-reported service, in real-time interval time, the identification information before and after network switching corresponding to each occurrence of network switching is temporarily stored locally; the network switching information of the service to be reported is stored, specifically, the starting information and the ending information before and after switching each time the network switching occurs are stored, and the corresponding identification information, for example, the cell/base station number before the network switching, the cell/base station number after the switching, and the like are identified.
When the real-time interval time is greater than or equal to the preset interval time, the sending the temporary network switching information to the SMF through the first URR may specifically include:
and in the real-time interval time, the identification information before and after the network switching corresponding to each occurrence of the network switching is packaged and then sent to the SMF through the first URR. If the real-time interval time meets the requirement of the preset interval time, the identification information before and after each network switching can be packaged and sent to the SMF. For example, in the real-time interval, the terminal is switched from the a cell to the B cell, then from the B cell to the C cell, and finally from the C cell back to the a cell, so that the corresponding identification information before and after the network switching should reflect the processes of the terminal from the a cell to the B cell, from the B cell to the C cell, and from the C cell back to the a cell.
The service reporting configuration method provided by the embodiment of the invention receives the session control message sent by the SMF; acquiring preset interval time information carried in a session control message; the first URR is sent to the SMF at a time interval which is larger than or equal to the preset interval time through the preset interval time corresponding to the preset interval time information, and in some implementation processes, the UPF does not report the first URR frequently in a short time through setting the preset interval time, so that the possibility of forming a signaling storm between the UPF and the SMF is effectively reduced, the impact on a system is avoided, and the communication performance is ensured.
Embodiment III:

S402, the SMF sends a session control message to the UPF, wherein the session control message carries preset interval time information; in the session control message sent by the SMF, the carried preset interval time information is used to characterize the preset interval time of the first URR sent by the UPF, that is, the minimum interval time of the adjacent first URR when sending.
S403, the UPF receives a session control message sent by the SMF; the session control message carries preset interval time information corresponding to preset interval time for controlling the UPF to report the first URR, based on the preset interval time information, the UPF can learn that the time interval between uploading the first URR at each time cannot be smaller than the preset interval time, that is, the UPF needs to send the first URR to the SMF at a time interval greater than or equal to the preset interval time.
S404, UPF obtains preset interval time information carried in session control information;

a report receiving module 52, configured to receive the first URR sent by the UPF based on the preset interval time.
The SMF is used as a control surface network element and can control the process of reporting the service to the SMF by the UPF. In the embodiment of the present invention, the reporting frequency of the UPF is reduced, that is, the time interval between the URRs needs to be limited to a certain extent in the reporting process of the UPF, so the request sending module 51 is configured to send a session control message to the UPF, where the session control message is used to control the UPF to report the first URRs to the SMF, and a preset interval time is set between the first URRs, and reporting of the UPF is allowed only if the time interval between the two first URRs is greater than or equal to the preset interval time. To achieve this, the session control message sent by the SMF carries preset interval time information, which is used to characterize the preset interval time of the UPF sending the first URR. It should be noted that the length of the preset interval time may be determined according to a specific application scenario, and the numerical value of the preset interval time is not specifically limited in the embodiment of the present invention.

firstly, waiting for the arrival of a preset interval time, reporting the temporarily stored service information; the method is equivalent to that the service reporting is carried out once every time the preset interval time is passed, and certainly, the service reporting is a precondition that network switching is needed, and if the network switching does not occur, the service reporting is not carried out;
secondly, the service reporting is performed after waiting until the time, and compared with the last reporting time, the interval is larger than or equal to the preset interval time, so that the service information temporarily stored in the time period can be uniformly reported along with the service reporting.

The UPF can report the service of network switching to the SMF at a limited time interval under the control of the SMF; the request receiving module 61 is configured to receive a session control message sent by the SMF, where the session control message carries preset interval time information corresponding to a preset interval time for controlling the UPF to report the first URR, and based on the preset interval time information, the UPF may learn that a time interval between each uploading of the first URR cannot be smaller than the preset interval time, that is, the UPF needs to send the first URR to the SMF at a time interval greater than or equal to the preset interval time. It should be noted that the length of the preset interval time may be determined according to a specific application scenario, and the numerical value of the preset interval time is not specifically limited in the embodiment of the present invention.
After receiving the session control message sent by the SMF, the UPF may acquire preset interval time information therein, and then, for the preset interval time information, store the preset interval time information in a context of the first URR, so as to reference when the subsequent first URR sends, and determine legal sending time.
In some embodiments, sending the first URR to the SMF at time intervals greater than or equal to a preset interval time may specifically include:
when triggering service reporting, judging real-time interval time between the current time and the last first URR reporting time;
when the real-time interval time is smaller than the preset interval time, the network switching information of the service to be reported is temporarily stored locally;
and when the real-time interval time is greater than or equal to the preset interval time, the temporary stored network switching information is sent to the SMF through the first URR. In order to enable the time interval between the two times of first URR reporting to be not smaller than the preset interval time, if the service reporting is triggered currently and the real-time interval time between the current time and the last time of the first URR reporting is smaller than the preset interval time in the specific process of the first URR reporting, the service reporting is delayed and the network switching information of the service to be reported is temporarily stored locally; the temporary storage aims at saving the network switching operation which has occurred, and avoiding deviation of network charging caused by unadapted updating; after the requirement of the preset interval time is met, the stored network switching information can be reported through the subsequent first URR, and in the process, the first URR can report all stored switching services in the period of time.
The specific reporting time of the temporarily stored service information can be divided into two types:
firstly, waiting for the arrival of a preset interval time, reporting the temporarily stored service information; the method is equivalent to that the service reporting is carried out once every time the preset interval time is passed, and certainly, the service reporting is a precondition that network switching is needed, and if the network switching does not occur, the service reporting is not carried out;
secondly, the service reporting is performed after waiting until the time, and compared with the last reporting time, the interval is larger than or equal to the preset interval time, so that the service information temporarily stored in the time period can be uniformly reported along with the service reporting. This approach is equivalent to service reporting at the time when there is service reporting, but not timing reporting, and is more flexible than timing reporting.
In some embodiments, when the real-time interval is smaller than the preset interval, temporarily storing the network switching information of the service to be reported locally may specifically include:
to-be-reported service, in real-time interval time, the identification information before and after network switching corresponding to each occurrence of network switching is temporarily stored locally; the network switching information of the service to be reported is stored, specifically, the starting information and the ending information before and after switching each time the network switching occurs are stored, and the corresponding identification information, for example, the cell/base station number before the network switching, the cell/base station number after the switching, and the like are identified.
When the real-time interval time is greater than or equal to the preset interval time, the sending the temporary network switching information to the SMF through the first URR may specifically include:
and in the real-time interval time, the identification information before and after the network switching corresponding to each occurrence of the network switching is packaged and then sent to the SMF through the first URR. If the real-time interval time meets the requirement of the preset interval time, the identification information before and after each network switching can be packaged and sent to the SMF. For example, in the real-time interval, the terminal is switched from the a cell to the B cell, then from the B cell to the C cell, and finally from the C cell back to the a cell, so that the corresponding identification information before and after the network switching should reflect the processes of the terminal from the a cell to the B cell, from the B cell to the C cell, and from the C cell back to the a cell.
The service reporting configuration device provided by the embodiment of the invention receives the session control message sent by the SMF through the request receiving module 61; the acquisition module 62 acquires preset interval time information carried in the session control message; the report sending module 63 sends the first URR to the SMF at a time interval greater than or equal to the preset interval time through the preset interval time for sending the first URR corresponding to the preset interval time information, and in some implementation processes, the preset interval time is set, so that the UPF does not report the first URR frequently in a short time, thereby effectively reducing the possibility of forming a signaling storm between the UPF and the SMF, avoiding impact on the system, and ensuring communication performance.
