Description

Media content monitoring method and device in IP multimedia subsystem

The invention relates to a monitoring technology in an IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) network structure, in particular to a media content monitoring method and device in an IP multimedia subsystem, and an access gateway control function entity (AGCF, Access Gateway Control) Function ). Background technique

The Internet Protocol Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) is the future of multi-media communication and the most important component of next-generation networks. It is a subsystem supporting IP multimedia services proposed by the 3GPP (3GPP, Third Generation Partnership Project). Its distinctive feature is the use of the Session Initial Protocol (SIP) system. Communication is independent of access mode. It can have multiple multimedia service control functions and bearer separation, call and session separation, application and service separation, service and network separation, and mobile network and Internet service integration.

It is precisely because communication technology is becoming more and more powerful, and it has penetrated into all aspects of society and life, and the use of communication technology to engage in illegal and criminal activities has become increasingly serious. Lawful interception technology has become a powerful weapon for national security agencies to fight crime. Lawful interception means that the security agency sets a specific monitoring target on the communication device for the purpose of law enforcement, and monitors the session event and communication content of the monitoring target. It is an indispensable function in the communication field. Standard organizations such as the European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI) and the 3GPP have been developing standards for lawful interception. Legitimate monitoring in the field of IMS networks has also formed corresponding standards and can guide specific implementation.

FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of a 3GPP packet-switched lawful interception architecture. As shown in FIG. 1, 3GPP proposes a lawful interception standard in the field of IMS packet switched (PS, Packet Switch) networks. Among them, the monitoring is based on the following three interfaces:

HI1 interface, used to implement fabric control management;

The HI2 interface is used to report the interception related information (IRI, Intercept Related Information) of the monitored target communication;

HI3 interface, used to output the communication content of the monitored target ( CC , Communication

Content );

The HI1 interface is separately controlled by the HI1, and the HI2 interface message is output to the control layer device, such as the Call Session Control Function (CSCF, Call Session Control Function), to output the HI3 communication content to the bearer layer network. In the figure, XI to X3 are interfaces that are connected to the IMS and the GSN, respectively, corresponding to the HI1 interface to the HI3 interface.

The standard can be applied to include Law Enforcement Monitoring Facility (LEMF), Management Function (ADMF), Data Transfer Function 2 (DF2, Delivery Function2), Data Transfer Function 3 (DF3, Delivery Function3). And in the monitoring system of the Gigabyte System Network (GSN).

The LEMF notifies the monitoring request to the ADMF through the HI1, and the request message carries the information such as the identifier of the interception object; the ADMF sends the interception request message to the bearer layer network GSN through the X1_1, and carries the information such as the identifier of the interception object; in the IMS domain, the ADMF will listen. The request message is sent to a Proxy Call Session Control Function (P-CSCF)/Serving-Call Session Control Function (S-CSCF, Serving-Call Session Control Function); ADMF sends the interception request message to the X1_3 through Xl_3 DF3, carrying information such as the identifier of the interception object; during the start of the session to the end of the session, in the IMS domain, when the session request is routed to the P-CSCF/S-CSCF via the GSN, the P-CSCF/S-CSCF determines that the user is monitored. The P-CSCF/S-CSCF reports the IRI in the session to the DF2 through the X2; the GSN reports the CC in the session to the DF3 through the X3; DF2 root According to the monitoring request from the ADMF, the received IRI is processed by the MF and reported to the LEMF through the HI2. The DF3, according to the monitoring request from the ADMF, processes the received CC through the MF and reports it to the LEMF through the HI3.

Nowadays, in practical applications, the next generation network with IMS as the core has a rich variety of bearer layer networks, including WLAN (Wireless Local Area Networks) and Local Area Networks (LAN). It makes it very difficult to make the lawful interception in the IMS network domain adapt to various different bearer layer networks. At the same time, many carrier layer networks are required to implement the monitoring function, which is difficult to implement in reality. Many devices may not provide monitoring function on the live network, which may cause the monitoring function to be unavailable. Summary of the invention

The basic idea of the present invention is to add an IMS-Access GateWay/Interconnection Border Control Functions (IBCF) between the IMS network and the bearer layer network, and the AGCF uniformly faces the bearer layer network. . In this way, the related information in the session establishment process is sent to the IMS through the AGCF, and the IMS outputs the IRL. Of course, the IMS can also output the CC, but there is a phenomenon of media bypass; since the AGCF has no media negotiation capability, the present invention adopts the AGCF or After the IMS network device negotiates with the DF3, it will The port information reported by the CC informs the AGCF that the AGCF directly outputs the CC to the DF3. The AGCF may be a Session Border Control (SBC), but is not limited to this device.

2 is a schematic diagram of a lawful interception architecture of an IMS network according to the present invention. As shown in FIG. 2, compared with the 3GPP packet switched lawful interception architecture shown in FIG. 1, the bearer layer network (GSN, WLAN, LAN, etc.) is connected to the IMS through the AGCF. The following describes in detail how each network element and its information exchange.

The LEMF notifies the monitoring request to the ADMF through the HI1, and the request message carries the information such as the identifier of the interception object; the ADMF sends the interception request message to the bearer layer network GSN/.-AVLAN/LAN through the X1_1, and carries the information such as the identifier of the interception object; The interception request message is sent to the IMS through the X1_3, and carries the information such as the identifier of the interception object; the ADMF sends the interception request message to the DF2 through the X1_4, and carries the information such as the identifier of the interception object; the ADMF sends the interception request message to the DF3 through the X1_5, and carries the interception. Information such as object identification; session establishment process, when the session request passes GSNA../WLAN/LAN, GSNA../WLAN/LAN judges that this user is monitored, listens to the monitored object according to the interception object identifier, and listens to the object related information. Sending to the AGCF; the AGCF adapts the session information sent by the bearer layer network GSN/.../WLAN/LAN to the IMS through the Adaptation Function Interface (AFI); the IMS is based on the intercept request from the ADMF. It is judged that the user is monitored, and the session information sent by the AGCF is processed, and the IRI event in the session establishment process is performed. Reported to the DF2 via an X2; Meanwhile, according to the IMS from the ADMF listen request, it is determined the user is monitored, it can be established during the session to be reported by CC X3 DF3. However, if the CC reports the CC to the DF3 through X3, there will be a media roundback problem, that is, the CC is first sent by the AGCF to the IMS, and the IMS sends the CC to the DF3. The media negotiation is end-to-end media negotiation, and does not pass through the IMS. Only the Session Description Protocol (SDP) passes through the IMS. If the IMS needs to report the CC, the media must be uploaded to the IMS. The content of the body communication is also sent to the IMS, so that the media must be negotiated between the two ends through the IMS, which causes the media to be bypassed. In response to the above problem, the AGCF is reported to the CC in order to solve the media return caused by the IMS reporting CC.

For the above scenario problem, the technical solution of the present invention is mainly: when the AGCF determines that the to-be-listened session is enabled, and performs media negotiation IP and port with the DF3 (MGW/MGCF), after the media negotiates, the AGCF can directly directly view the CC of the session to be monitored. Reported to LIC via DF3. The DF2 reports the received IRI to the LEMF through the MF through the MF processing. The DF3 reports the received CC to the LEMF through the MF and then reports it to the LEMF.

In the present invention, the main functions of the AG3 X3 interface are: X3 signaling channel establishment request; X3 signaling channel establishment response; X3 signaling universal deletion request; X3 signaling channel deletion response; X3 signaling channel media capability modification; The X3 bearer channel listens for content delivery.

The X3 interface protocol between AGCF and DF3 uses the SIP protocol, and its workflow includes two parts: the call signaling process and the bearer channel data transmission. The X3 interface signaling process between AGCF and DF3 uses the SIP protocol flow, and its working protocol stack follows RFC3261. The signaling flow of the X3 interface between the AGCF and the DF3 is generated by the AGCF network element, which mainly completes the functions of establishing, deleting, and modifying the capability of the channel. The X3 bearer channel mainly realizes the transmission of the communication content of the controlled target.

3 is a flowchart of a method for monitoring media content in an IP multimedia subsystem according to the present invention. As shown in FIG. 3, when a controlled target call is successfully established and media stream transmission is started, the AGCF initiates a message content monitoring process. Specifically, the AGCF sends an X3 channel creation request process to the LIC, and after receiving the X3 channel creation request INVITE message, the LIC returns an X3 channel creation response message 200 OK. Through this process, AGCF can obtain endpoint information and transmit a copy of the controlled target communication content. It should be noted that, in general, the AGCF needs to report the CC of the listening session to the LIC through the DF3. The media content monitoring method in the IP multimedia subsystem includes the following steps:

Step F1, the AGCF sends an INVITE message to the LIC through the DF3 to (MGW/MGCF), Request information such as dynamically assigned IP and port;

In step F2, the LIC sends an INVITE message to the AGCF by using a 200 OK response with a 200 OK response. The INVITE message carries the dynamically assigned IP and/or port information. In step F3, the AGCF replies to the LIC with the Ack acknowledgement message, confirming that the IP address is received. And/or port information. The AGCF establishes an X3 channel with the LIC (DF3 and LIC) based on the LIC reply to the assigned IP and/or port information. After receiving the information such as IP and/or port, the AGCF receives the communication content of the session to be monitored and sends it directly to the LIC through X3. The subsequent processing method is exactly the same as the prior art, and the implementation details are not described herein again.

In the present invention, after the monitoring content is reported, the AGCF releases the bearer channel by sending BYE signaling to the LIC.

In the present invention, the communication content of the monitored call includes at least one of the following information: voice, video, fax, short message, whiteboard application content, multimedia multimedia message content.

Alternatively, the media content monitoring method in the IP multimedia subsystem of the present invention may also be implemented in the following manner: FIG. 4 is a schematic diagram of another IMS network legal listening architecture according to the present invention, as shown in FIG. 4, and 3GPP packet switching shown in FIG. Compared with the lawful interception architecture, in the IMS network lawful interception architecture of the present invention, the bearer layer network (GSN, WLAN, LAN, etc.) passes through the IMS access gateway/IBCF and

The LEMF notifies the monitoring request to the ADMF through the HI1, and the request message carries the information such as the identifier of the interception object; the ADMF sends the interception request message to the bearer layer network GSN/.-AVLAN/LAN through the X1_1, and carries the information such as the identifier of the interception object; The interception request message is sent to the IMS through the X1_3, and carries the information such as the identifier of the interception object; the ADMF sends the interception request message to the DF2 through the X1_4, and carries the information such as the identifier of the interception object; the ADMF sends the interception request message to the DF3 through the X1_5, and carries the interception. Information such as object identification; During the establishment process, when the session request passes GSNA../WLAN/LAN, GSNA../WLAN/LAN judges that the user is monitored, listens to the monitored object according to the interception object identifier, and sends the interception object session related information to the IMS access gateway. / IBCF; IMS access gateway / IBCF adapts the session information sent by the bearer layer network GSN/.-AVLAN/LAN to the IMS through the Adaptation Function Interface (AFI); IMS monitors from the ADMF The request, the user is monitored, and the session information sent by the IMS access gateway/IBCF is processed, and the IRI event in the session establishment process is reported to the DF2 through the X2; at the same time, the IMS determines the user according to the interception request from the ADMF. It can be monitored, and the CC in the session establishment process can also be reported to DF3 through X3. However, if the CC reports the CC to the DF3 through X3, there will be a media roundback problem, that is, the IMS access gateway/IBCF first needs to send the CC to the IMS, and the IMS sends the CC to the DF3. The media negotiation is end-to-end media negotiation, and does not pass through the IMS. Only the Session Description Protocol (SDP) passes through the IMS. If the IMS needs to report the CC, the media must be uploaded to the IMS, that is, the IMS access gateway. / IBCF must also send the media communication content to the IMS, so that each end must pass the IMS to conduct media negotiation, which causes the media to be bypassed. In response to the above problem, in order to solve the media return caused by the IMS reporting CC, the IMS access gateway/IBCF is used to report the CC. . However, reporting the CC through the IMS access gateway/IBCF brings another problem: Since the _IMS access gateway/IBCF has no media negotiation capability, the Media Gateway (MGW, Media GateWay) / Media Gateway Control Function Entity (MGCF, Media GateWay Control) Function) is the dynamic allocation of IP and port. When DF3 is the MGW/MGCF device, the IMS access gateway/IBCF is not able to negotiate with the MGW/MGCF media to obtain the dynamically assigned IP and port, and cannot be >3⁄4 CC;

For the above scenario, the technical solution of the present invention mainly uses the IMS network device and the DF3 (MGW/MGCF) to perform media negotiation IP and port. After the media negotiation, the IMS network device notifies the IMS access gateway of the media negotiated IP and port. / IBCF. In this way, the IMS access gateway/IBCF can directly report the CC to DF3. Call content triggering functional entity in IMS (CCTF, Content Of Communication Trigger Function) judges that the user is monitored according to the interception request from the ADMF, and performs media negotiation with the DF3 (MGW/MGCF) by calling the Content Of Communication Negotiate Interface (CCNI); The CCTF may be an AS/CSCF (S-CSCF or P-CSCF); the CCTF (AS/CSCF) will negotiate information (IP, port, etc.) with the DF3 (MGW/MGCF) media through the Call Content Control Interface (CCCI, Call). The Content Control Interface is sent to the IMS Access Gateway/IBCF; the IMS Access Gateway/IBCF reports CC to DF3 through the media negotiation information sent from the CCTF (AS/CSCF); DF2 will receive the IRI according to the intercept request from the ADMF. After MF processing, it is reported to LEMF through HI2. According to the monitoring request from ADMF, DF3 passes the MF processing to the received CC and then uploads it to LEMF through HI3.

It should be understood by those skilled in the art that the foregoing CCNI and CCCI interfaces are merely exemplary, and the present invention is not limited to the above interfaces, and may be other interfaces defined by protocols. However, the message between the above interfaces is determined.

The above CSCF may be an S-CSCF or a P-CSCF.

The CCTF negotiates with the DF3 to control the IMS access gateway/IBCF output CC. The CCTF may be an AS/S-CSCF. The AS/S-CSCF interacts with the IMS access gateway/IBCF through a control interface, and can pass INFO/200OK. Messages interact.

FIG. 5 is a flowchart of interaction between an AS/S-CSCF and an IMS access gateway/IBCF according to the present invention. As shown in FIG. 5, the method includes the following steps:

1) The AS/S-CSCF sends an INVITE message to DF3 (MGW/MGCF) to request information such as dynamically assigned IP and port;

2) DF3 (MGW/MGCF) responds with a 200 OK response. The AS/S-CSCF sends an INVITE message carrying the dynamically assigned IP and/or port information.

3) The AS/S-CSCF replies to the assigned IP and/or port by DF3 (MGW/MGCF) The information is sent to the IMS access gateway/IBCF through the INFO message;

4) The IMS access gateway/IBCF replies with 200 OK to the AS/S-CSCF, confirming receipt of information such as IP and / or port.

After receiving the information such as the IP address and/or the port, the IMS access gateway/IBCF receives the communication content of the session to be monitored, and then directly sends the received IP and/or port determined for the session. The subsequent processing manner is exactly the same as the prior art, and the implementation details thereof will not be described herein.

In the present invention, the CCTF negotiates with the DF3 to control the IMS access gateway/IBCF to output the CC; wherein, the CCTF may be a P-CSCF; and the P-CSCF has an internal private interface, that is, an Application Level Gate (ALG); The P-CSCF exchanges information between the ALG and the IMS access gateway/IBCF through the control interface, and can interact through H.248 messages. FIG. 6 is a flowchart of interaction between a P-CSCF and an IMS access gateway/IBCF according to the present invention. As shown in FIG. 6, the method includes the following steps:

1) The P-CSCF sends an INVITE message to DF3 (MGW/MGCF) requesting information such as dynamically assigned IP and port;

2) DF3 (MGW/MGCF) responds with 200 OK response. The P-CSCF sends an INVITE message carrying the dynamically assigned IP and/or port information.

3) The P-CSCF sends the IP and/or port information assigned by the DF3 (MGW/MGCF) to the IMS access gateway/IBCF through the H.248 message through its internal private interface ALG.
