3、MME与SGW之间,SGW与PGW之间依次建立连接。3. A connection is established between the MME and the SGW, and the SGW and the PGW are sequentially established.
4、PGW为用户分配IP地址。4. PGW assigns an IP address to the user.
5、PGW与PCRF网元进行交互连接。PGW向PCRF网元提供用户的IP地址、APN、承载服务质量(QoS)等。PCRF网元向PGW下发网络接入聚合最大比特率(APN-AMBR)、服务质量标度值(QCI)、地址解析协议(ARP)等计费策略信息和QoS信息。5. The PGW and the PCRF network element are connected interactively. The PGW provides the user's IP address, APN, bearer quality of service (QoS), etc. to the PCRF network element. The PCRF network element sends the charging policy information and QoS information such as the network access aggregation maximum bit rate (APN-AMBR), the quality of service scale value (QCI), and the address resolution protocol (ARP) to the PGW.
6、PGW向SGW发送消息,内容包括但不限于:PGW地址和隧道端点 标识(TEID)。6. The PGW sends a message to the SGW, including but not limited to: a PGW address and a tunnel endpoint. Identification (TEID).
7、SGW向MME发送消息,内容包括但不限于:PGW地址和TEID,SGW地址和TEID等。7. The SGW sends a message to the MME, including but not limited to: a PGW address and a TEID, an SGW address, and a TEID.
8、MME向eNodeB发送消息,内容包括但不限于:SGW地址和TEID,以及分配给UE的IP地址8. The MME sends a message to the eNodeB, including but not limited to: SGW address and TEID, and an IP address allocated to the UE.
9、eNodeB向UE传递UE的IP地址。9. The eNodeB delivers the IP address of the UE to the UE.
10、eNodeB向MME传递eNodeB的地址和TEID。10. The eNodeB delivers the address and TEID of the eNodeB to the MME.
11、MME向SGW传递eNodeB的地址和TEID,打通数据传输链路。11. The MME delivers the address and TEID of the eNodeB to the SGW, and opens a data transmission link.
12、UE通过eNodeB、SGW和PGW进行上下行数据的传递。12. The UE performs uplink and downlink data transmission through the eNodeB, the SGW, and the PGW.
通过以上连接的建立,UE可以与Internet网络进行上下行数据的传递。Through the establishment of the above connection, the UE can perform uplink and downlink data transmission with the Internet.
从上述过程中可以看出,由于相关技术中的EPC架构中,各个网元的控制功能各不相同,数据转发与状态控制紧密耦合,这不利于网络的快速演进和成本的降低,而且各个控制网元之间的信令传递频繁,信令处理时间较长。It can be seen from the above process that, due to the different control functions of each network element in the EPC architecture in the related art, data forwarding and state control are closely coupled, which is not conducive to rapid network evolution and cost reduction, and each control The signaling between the network elements is frequently transmitted, and the signaling processing time is long.

具体实施方式detailed description
下面将参照附图更详细地描述本公开的示例性实施例。虽然附图中显示了本公开的示例性实施例,然而应当理解,可以以各种形式实现本公开而不应被这里阐述的实施例所限制。相反,提供这些实施例是为了能够更透彻地理解本公开,并且能够将本公开的范围完整的传达给本领域的技术人员。Exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. While the embodiments of the present invention have been shown in the drawings, the embodiments Rather, these embodiments are provided so that this disclosure will be more fully understood and the scope of the disclosure will be fully disclosed.
依据本公开实施例的一个方面,提供了一种业务数据传输方法,该方法应用于控制面设备融合后的EPC网络中。如图2所示,该EPC网络架构将网元中控制面和转发面分开,控制面设备进行重新融合,成为具有网络整体控制能力的控制设备(controller),按需在网络中使用通用的转发面设备(即图2中所示的数据转发设备DGW),简化网络部署,从而实现对转发面设备的统一控制,进而实现更快的控制面信令处理,节省转发时间,降低时延。According to an aspect of an embodiment of the present disclosure, a service data transmission method is provided, which is applied to an EPC network after a control plane device is fused. As shown in FIG. 2, the EPC network architecture separates the control plane and the forwarding plane in the network element, and the control plane device re-converges to become a control device with overall network control capability, and uses general forwarding in the network as needed. The device (ie, the data forwarding device DGW shown in FIG. 2) simplifies network deployment, thereby implementing unified control of the forwarding plane device, thereby implementing faster control plane signaling processing, saving forwarding time, and reducing delay.
该方法应用于图2所示的控制设备,该控制设备首先,接收基站发送的用户附着请求;接着,根据所述用户附着请求,从多个数据转发设备中选择一个数据转发设备;最后,与选择的所述数据转发设备和基站交互,在网络与用户设备间进行上下行业务数据的传输。因此,本公开实施例的业务数据的传输方法,由控制设备选择满足用户附着请求的数据转发设备,并直接与选择的数据转发设备和基站交互,减少了信令的交互,节省了信令处理时间。The method is applied to the control device shown in FIG. 2, the control device first receives a user attach request sent by the base station; and then, according to the user attach request, selects a data forwarding device from the plurality of data forwarding devices; and finally, The selected data forwarding device interacts with the base station to perform uplink and downlink service data transmission between the network and the user equipment. Therefore, in the method for transmitting service data of the embodiment of the present disclosure, the control device selects a data forwarding device that satisfies the user attachment request, and directly interacts with the selected data forwarding device and the base station, thereby reducing signaling interaction and saving signaling processing. time.
如图3所示,该方法包括:As shown in FIG. 3, the method includes:
步骤S31、接收基站发送的用户附着请求。Step S31: Receive a user attach request sent by the base station.
其中,所述用户附着请求包括:用户设备的业务标识。当然可以理解的是,对于所述用户附着请求中携带的具体信息,并不局限于此,比如,还可携带用户设备的IMSI。The user attach request includes: a service identifier of the user equipment. It is to be understood that the specific information carried in the user attachment request is not limited thereto. For example, the IMSI of the user equipment may also be carried.
另外,用户设备进行实际业务之前,需要初始附着,因此,该用户设备会通过基站向控制设备发送用户附着请求,因此控制设备接收的用户附着请求是基站转发的用户设备向基站发送的。In addition, the user equipment needs to be initially attached before performing the actual service. Therefore, the user equipment sends a user attach request to the control device through the base station. Therefore, the user attach request received by the control device is sent by the user equipment forwarded by the base station to the base station.
步骤S33、根据所述用户附着请求,从多个数据转发设备中选择一个数 据转发设备。Step S33: Select one number from multiple data forwarding devices according to the user attachment request. According to the forwarding device.
在控制面设备融合后的EPC架构中,一个控制设备下可以控制多个数据转发设备,且多个数据转发设备分别连接了不同的网络,例如局域网、城域网或广域网。因此,当一个用户设备发起用户附着请求时,控制设备需要知道该用户设备需要连接哪一个网络。其中,连接的网络类型一般与用户设备所要进行的业务相关,所以,控制设备会根据用户附着请求中携带的用户设备的业务标识为该用户设备从多个数据转发设备中选择一个可用的数据转发设备。In the EPC architecture after the control plane device is fused, one control device can control multiple data forwarding devices, and multiple data forwarding devices are respectively connected to different networks, such as a local area network, a metropolitan area network, or a wide area network. Therefore, when a user equipment initiates a user attach request, the control device needs to know which network the user equipment needs to connect to. The network type of the connection is generally related to the service to be performed by the user equipment. Therefore, the control device selects an available data forwarding from the plurality of data forwarding devices according to the service identifier of the user equipment carried in the user attachment request. device.
其中,该可用的数据转发设备需要与用户设备所要连接的网络相匹配。因此,步骤S33包括:Wherein, the available data forwarding device needs to match the network to which the user equipment is to be connected. Therefore, step S33 includes:
获取域名服务器根据所述业务标识解析的网络连接地址;Obtaining a network connection address that is resolved by the domain name server according to the service identifier;
根据所述网络连接地址,从多个数据转发设备中选择与所述网络连接地址相匹配的数据转发设备。And selecting, according to the network connection address, a data forwarding device that matches the network connection address from the plurality of data forwarding devices.
为了使得EPC网络中的各个数据转发设备的负载呈现均衡的状态,或使网络运行更加顺畅,可进一步从多个与所述网络连接地址相匹配的数据转发设备中选择一个离用户设备最近的数据转发设备或一个负载最小的数据转发设备。In order to make the load of each data forwarding device in the EPC network assume a balanced state or make the network run more smoothly, a data that is closest to the user equipment may be further selected from a plurality of data forwarding devices that match the network connection address. Forwarding device or a data-loading device with the least load.
步骤S35、与选择的所述数据转发设备和基站交互,在网络与用户设备间进行上下行业务数据的传输。Step S35: Perform interaction with the selected data forwarding device and the base station, and perform uplink and downlink service data transmission between the network and the user equipment.
在EPC网络中,不同的用户设备进行相应的业务,会对应有不同的IP地址。而在EPC网络架构中的控制设备上配置有地址池,该控制设备负责用户设备的IP地址的分配。所以,当满足用户设备的业务需求的数据转发设备选定之后,控制设备会从选择的所述数据转发设备对应的IP地址池中选择一个分配给该用户设备,然后,根据为该用户设备分配的IP地址,在网络与用户设备之间进行上下行业务数据的传输。In an EPC network, different user equipments perform corresponding services and correspond to different IP addresses. An address pool is configured on the control device in the EPC network architecture, and the control device is responsible for allocating the IP address of the user equipment. Therefore, after the data forwarding device that meets the service requirements of the user equipment is selected, the control device selects one of the IP address pools corresponding to the selected data forwarding device to be assigned to the user equipment, and then allocates the user equipment according to the user equipment. The IP address is used to transmit uplink and downlink service data between the network and the user equipment.
另外,用户设备通过基站与数据转发设备与网络进行上下行数据传输时,基站需要知道与该用户设备对应的服务质量保障策略,数据转发设备需要知道计费策略和服务质量保障策略。因此,当为用户设备分配了IP地址后,还需要将用户设备的所述IP地址、业务标识以及IMSI发送给数据库,以便数 据库可以根据这些信息查找对应于该用户设备的签约数据、计费策略以及服务质量保障策略,并下发给控制设备。In addition, when the user equipment performs the uplink and downlink data transmission between the base station and the data forwarding device and the network, the base station needs to know the quality of service guarantee policy corresponding to the user equipment, and the data forwarding device needs to know the charging policy and the service quality assurance policy. Therefore, after the IP address is assigned to the user equipment, the IP address, the service identifier, and the IMSI of the user equipment are also sent to the database. The database can be used to search for the subscription data, the charging policy, and the service quality assurance policy corresponding to the user equipment, and deliver the information to the control device.
控制设备获取到用户设备的签约信息、计费策略以及服务质量保障策略后,控制设备将签约信息保存,并将计费策略和服务质量保障策略下发数据转发设备,将服务质量保障策略下发基站,使得当用户设备在进行上下行数据传输时,数据转发设备可以执行计费策略,进行数据包的流量统计,时长统计,并根据计费策略将测量记录上报给控制设备,控制设备对计费测量信息进行统计,生成话单后再上报至相应网元。After the control device obtains the subscription information, the charging policy, and the service quality assurance policy of the user equipment, the control device saves the subscription information, and sends the charging policy and the service quality assurance policy to the data forwarding device to deliver the service quality assurance policy. The base station is configured to enable the data forwarding device to perform the charging policy, perform the traffic statistics, the duration statistics, and report the measurement records to the control device according to the charging policy. The fee measurement information is collected, and the CDR is generated and then reported to the corresponding network element.
其中,根据所述IP地址,在网络与用户设备间进行上下行业务数据的传输的过程中,主要需要控制设备与数据转发设备之间创建会话,与基站之间实现附着,最终打通上下行数据的传输链路。因此,控制设备可以在与数据转发设备之间创建会话的过程中,将计费策略和服务质量保障策略作为相应信令的携带信息下发给数据转发设备,在与基站实现附着的过程中,将服务质量保障策略作为相应信令的携带信息下发给基站。According to the IP address, in the process of transmitting uplink and downlink service data between the network and the user equipment, it is mainly required to establish a session between the control device and the data forwarding device, and implement connection with the base station, and finally open up and downlink data. Transmission link. Therefore, the control device may send the charging policy and the QoS policy as the carrying information of the corresponding signaling to the data forwarding device in the process of creating a session with the data forwarding device, and in the process of attaching to the base station, The service quality assurance policy is sent to the base station as the carrying information of the corresponding signaling.
另外,由于EPC网络的控制面设备融合后,控制设备和数据转发设备之间的协议,可以采用通用无线分组业务隧道(GTP)协议,也可以选择基于IP的openflow协议。In addition, since the control plane device of the EPC network is fused, the protocol between the control device and the data forwarding device may adopt a general wireless packet service tunnel (GTP) protocol, or an IP-based openflow protocol.
当控制设备与数据转发设备之间采用GTP协议时,所述根据所述IP地址,在网络与用户设备间进行上下行业务数据的传输的步骤包括:When the GTP protocol is adopted between the control device and the data forwarding device, the step of transmitting uplink and downlink service data between the network and the user equipment according to the IP address includes:
向所述数据转发设备发送创建会话请求;Sending a create session request to the data forwarding device;
在接收到所述数据转发设备根据所述创建会话请求反馈的创建会话响应时,向所述基站发送附着接收消息;Receiving an attach receipt message to the base station when receiving the create session response fed back by the data forwarding device according to the create session request;
在接收到所述基站反馈的附着完成消息时,向所述数据转发设备发送数据转发信令,并由所述数据转发设备和所述基站根据所述IP地址传输所述服务器与用户设备之间的上下行业务数据。Receiving data forwarding signaling to the data forwarding device when receiving the attach complete message fed back by the base station, and transmitting, by the data forwarding device and the base station, the server and the user equipment according to the IP address Up and down business data.
其中,所述创建会话请求中包括:所述IP地址,控制设备的隧道端点标识,所述计费策略以及所述服务质量保障策略;所述创建会话响应包括:所述数据转发设备的隧道端点标识;所述附着接收消息包括:所述数据转发设备的地址、所述数据转发设备的隧道端点标识、所述IP地址、所述控制设 备的隧道端点标识和所述服务质量保障策略;附着完成消息包括:所述基站的地址和隧道端点标识;所述数据转发信令包括:所述基站的地址和隧道端点标识。The creating a session request includes: the IP address, a tunnel endpoint identifier of the control device, the charging policy, and the quality of service guarantee policy; the creating a session response includes: a tunnel endpoint of the data forwarding device The identifier includes: an address of the data forwarding device, a tunnel endpoint identifier of the data forwarding device, the IP address, and the control device The tunnel end identifier and the quality of service guarantee policy; the attach complete message includes: an address of the base station and a tunnel end identifier; and the data forwarding signaling includes: an address of the base station and a tunnel end identifier.
由于GTP协议规定,在第一设备向第二设备发送信令信息时,第一设备需要携带第一设备的TEID,使得第二设备可以根据第一设备的TEID向第一设备回复信息,当然,第二设备回复信息时,也需要携带第二设备的TEID。因此,在上述过程中,任一网元在向另一网元发送相应信令时,均携带了相应的TED。The first device needs to carry the TEID of the first device, so that the second device can reply to the first device according to the TEID of the first device, of course, the first device can send the signaling information to the second device. When the second device replies with the information, it also needs to carry the TEID of the second device. Therefore, in the foregoing process, any network element carries a corresponding TED when transmitting corresponding signaling to another network element.
此外,对比现有技术,在打通上下行数据传输链路的过程,本公开实施例的业务数据传输方法中,主要仅涉及控制设备和数据转发设备这两个网元,且数据转发设备的TEID和地址信息仅需要通知控制设备,对应与现有技术中的流程,PGW要将自身的TEID和地址传递给SGW。SGW要将自身的TEID和地址、PGW的TEID和地址传递给MME。因此,本发实施例的业务数据传输方法,涉及网元较少,且大大减少了信令的发送,减轻了网络负担。In addition, compared with the prior art, in the process of opening up the uplink and downlink data transmission links, the service data transmission method in the embodiment of the present disclosure mainly involves only two network elements, namely the control device and the data forwarding device, and the TEID of the data forwarding device. And the address information only needs to notify the control device, corresponding to the flow in the prior art, the PGW will pass its own TEID and address to the SGW. The SGW shall forward its own TEID and address, the TEID and address of the PGW to the MME. Therefore, the service data transmission method of the embodiment of the present invention involves fewer network elements, and greatly reduces signaling transmission and reduces network load.
当控制设备与数据转发设备之间采用基于IP的openflow协议时,所述根据所述IP地址,在网络与用户设备间进行上下行业务数据的传输的步骤包括:When the IP-based openflow protocol is adopted between the control device and the data forwarding device, the step of transmitting uplink and downlink service data between the network and the user equipment according to the IP address includes:
向所述数据转发设备发送创建会话请求;Sending a create session request to the data forwarding device;
向所述基站发送附着接收消息;Sending an attach reception message to the base station;
接收所述数据转发设备根据所述创建会话请求反馈的创建会话响应;Receiving a create session response that is forwarded by the data forwarding device according to the create session request;
在接收到所述基站反馈的附着完成消息时,由所述数据转发设备和所述基站根据所述IP地址传输所述服务器与用户设备之间的上下行业务数据。When receiving the attach complete message fed back by the base station, the data forwarding device and the base station transmit uplink and downlink service data between the server and the user equipment according to the IP address.
其中,所述创建会话请求中包括:所述IP地址、所述基站的地址、所述The creating a session request includes: the IP address, an address of the base station, and the
计费策略以及所述服务质量保障策略;a charging policy and the service quality assurance policy;
所述附着接收消息包括:所述数据转发设备的地址、所述IP地址以及所述服务质量保障策略。The attach and receive message includes: an address of the data forwarding device, the IP address, and the quality of service guarantee policy.
由于基于IP的openflow协议,没有隧道封包机制,所述上述过程中涉及的相关信令信息中,并不需要携带发送方网元的TEID,且基于IP的openflow协议下,控制设备知道基站的地址和数据转发设备的地址,并且请求创建会话,就是控制设备将基站的地址告知给数据转发设备;请求附着,就是控制 设备将数据转发设备的地址告知给基站;最终上下行数据传输链路打通,就是基站知道了数据转发设备的地址,数据转发设备知道了基站的地址。所以,对于控制设备向数据转发设备请求创建会话,以及控制设备向基站请求附着的步骤可同时进行,且当基站告知控制设备附着成功时,也不再需要控制设备将基站的地址告知给数据转发设备。The IP-based openflow protocol does not have a tunnel packet mechanism. The related signaling information involved in the foregoing process does not need to carry the TEID of the sender network element. Under the IP-based openflow protocol, the control device knows the address of the base station. And the address of the data forwarding device, and request to create a session, that is, the control device informs the data forwarding device of the address of the base station; requesting attachment is control The device informs the base station of the address of the data forwarding device; finally, the uplink and downlink data transmission link is opened, that is, the base station knows the address of the data forwarding device, and the data forwarding device knows the address of the base station. Therefore, the step of requesting the control device to create a session to the data forwarding device and the control device requesting the attachment to the base station can be performed simultaneously, and when the base station informs the control device that the attachment is successful, the control device is no longer required to notify the address of the base station to the data forwarding. device.
