Introduce the concrete application implementation example 1 of method attachment flow in the SAE system of embodiment one below.In the SAE system, if the service that the user need use the SAE system to provide, the user at first need be registered in the middle of the system, and the process of this registration can be called as the process that the user is attached to network.In the attaching process of SAE system, according to the control mode decision information, carry out every UE AMBR control if desired, the AMBR that the information of AMBR that then need every UE is relevant sends to UE-AMBR carries out functional entity; The control of the AMBR of every APN if desired, the AMBR that then need the information of the AMBR of acquiescence APN in the attaching process be sent to APN-AMBR carries out functional entity.Specifically as shown in Figure 3:

Among Fig. 3, step 1 is in 2, and UE initiates attach request, and eNodeB is forwarded to MME with this attach request.

Step 3 is in 4, and after the execution safety inspection, MME is to the user contracting data of this UE of HSS request.

In the step 5, HSS returns in the subscription data of MME, has comprised the relevant CAMEL-Subscription-Information of AMBR; HSS sends to MME with the content of this CAMEL-Subscription-Information, but send mode can limit, and can also can utilize new message through existing message.

Wherein, The CAMEL-Subscription-Information storage organization of AMBR among the HSS can be as shown in the table, but the needs special instruction is; Scheme in this form can not limit embodiment of the invention applicable scope; Promptly this form not perhaps in some system still, can not think thus that the technical scheme in the embodiment of the invention can not be applicable to these systems.

MME indicates CAMEL-Subscription-Information and/or draws the AMBR control mode by other system information according to operator's configuration and/or AMBR control mode according to the information that obtains.Wherein, if the control mode of operator configuration information indication is different with the control mode that the user contracts, operator configuration information has higher priority so.For example: control side's indication information of the signatory AMBR of user's formula is per APN, but the operator configuration information indication network adopts the control mode of per UE, and MME will be provided with the control mode of per UE for this user so.

If MME can not draw the control mode of user AMBR according to configuration information, then should comprise AMBR control mode indication information in this subscription data; If the control mode of AMBR is per UE, then this CAMEL-Subscription-Information should comprise UE-AMBR; If the control mode of AMBR is per APN or per UE per APN, then should comprise APN-AMBR information in this CAMEL-Subscription-Information; If the control mode of AMBR is per UE per APN, then should comprise UE-AMBR in this CAMEL-Subscription-Information, perhaps, draw UE-AMBR according to pre-configured algorithm, as: through APN-AMBR being added and drawing UE-AMBR, i.e. UE-AMBR=∑ (APN-AMBR).

After judging, MME has obtained the relevant CAMEL-Subscription-Information of AMBR.Wherein, among the MME about the AMBR structure information storage, can be for shown in the following table lattice, in MME, need the storage user about the subscription data of AMBR and the relevant parameter that in flow, needs, like the UE-AMBR that calculates according to APN-AMBR about AMBR.If control mode is per UE or per UE per APN, then need be in UE rank storage UE-AMBR information; If control mode is per APN or per UE per APN, then need be at APN rank storage APN-AMBR.Thus, in flow, MME sends to corresponding AMBR execution functional entity with the information of AMBR.

In the step 6, after MME confirms the AMBR control mode, send default bearing to S-GW and set up request.

If the AMBR control mode is per UE or per UE per APN, then set up in the request and carry the UE-AMBR parameter at default bearing, be used for carrying out functional entity (S-GW) and do descending control at UE-AMBRAMBR.

If the AMBR control mode is per APN or per UE per APN, then sets up and carry the APN-AMBR parameter in the request message at default bearing.

After S-GW receives default bearing and sets up request, obtain the AMBR relevant information, S-GW can be for shown in the following table lattice about the storage organization of AMBR:

In the step 7, S-GW sends default bearing to P-GW and sets up request.

If control mode is per UE or per UE per APN; Then set up in the request and carry the UE-AMBR parameter at default bearing; And UE-AMBR need send to PCRF and do PCC (Policy and Charging Control, the strategy and the control of chargeing) decision-making, and next execution in step 8.

If control mode is per APN or per UE per APN; Then set up in the request and carry the APN-AMBR parameter at default bearing; Be used for carrying out functional entity (P-GW) and carry out descending control at the AMBR of APN-AMBR; And APN-AMBR need send to PCRF and do the PCC decision-making, and next execution in step 8.

P-GW obtains the AMBR relevant information after receiving default bearing foundation request, and P-GW can need to prove about the storage organization of AMBR P-GW can select whether to store UE-AMBR or AMBR control mode according to concrete realization for shown in the following table lattice.

Annotate: RAB is Radio Access Bearer, RAB.

Alternatively, mutual through PCRF in the step 8, PCRF makes the PCC decision-making.

Step 9 is returned carrying and is set up corresponding in 10.

In the step 11, MME sends to adhere to and accepts to give eNB.

Wherein, if control mode is per UE or per UE per APN, then in adhering to acceptance, carry the UE-AMBR parameter is UE-AMBR to eNB upload control.

If control mode is per APN or per UE per APN, then in adhering to acceptance, need carry the APN-AMBR parameter is APN-AMBR to eNB upload control.

Wherein, If control mode is per APN or per UE per APN; Then in this message, comprise the APN sign; Be used for the carrying of current non-GBR is associated with an APN (if control mode is per UE UL per APN DL, then can not set up this incidence relation), accomplish the upload control of APN-AMBR.

If control mode is per UE per APN; Then in adhering to acceptance, comprise UE-AMBR and APN-AMBR parameter; At first guarantee upload control at eNB to per APN; Under the prerequisite that guarantees APN-AMBR control, guarantee the upload control of UE-AMBR, accomplish the dual AMBR control of per UE per APN.

ENB obtains the AMBR relevant information after receiving and adhering to acceptance, and the data store organisation on eNB can be as shown in the table:

Step 12 connects and reshuffles through RRC (Radio Resource Control, Radio Resource control) in 16, and this UE accomplishes and adheres to bearer update.

Present embodiment passes through said process; Carry out at needs under the control mode of UE-AMBR; The AMBR that the relevant information of UE-AMBR is sent out in attaching process to UE-AMBR carries out functional entity, and carries out the controlled function that functional entity begins to carry out UE-AMBR at AMBR; Carry out at needs under the control mode of APN-AMBR, the AMBR that the relevant information of the APN-AMBR of acquiescence APN is sent out in attaching process to APN-AMBR carries out functional entity, and carries out the controlled function that functional entity begins to carry out APN-AMBR at AMBR.

The method of introducing embodiment one below is in the SAE system, and concrete application implementation routine 2 when UE initiates article one PDN connection building process of APN.Need carry out data transport services with the PDN network if the user has used, at first need connect with the PDN network, promptly PDN connects.Each PDN connects the default bearing that comprises a non-GBR at least, and for the AMBR control that realizes that non-GBR carries in the PDN connection, concrete grammar is as shown in Figure 4:

In the step 1, UE initiates PDN and connects the request of foundation.

In the step 2, MME receives the PDN request of connect setting up, because MME has preserved the AMBR subscription data of this UE in attachment flow, at this moment, MME can carry out flow according to the control mode of the AMBR of this UE.

If confirm that the AMBR control mode is per APN or per UE per APN; Because current flow process is to activate first PDN connection of new APN; Be different from the APN that activates in the attachment flow, carry the APN-AMBR parameter so need set up in the request, and send to S-GW at default bearing.

If confirm that the AMBR control mode is per UE, then in attachment flow, to have accomplished the AMBR control of interdependent node and disposed, need not reinform S-GW this moment.

In the step 3, S-GW transmits this message to P-GW after receiving that default bearing is set up request.

If the APN-AMBR parameter is carried in the default bearing that S-GW the receives request of setting up, then transmit in this message and also carry the APN-AMBR parameter to P-GW.

Alternatively, in the step 4, after P-GW received that default bearing is set up request, execution in step 4 alternatively.

Particularly, if control mode is per UE or per UE per APN, and UE-AMBR need send to PCRF and do PCC decision-making, and then PGW need send UE-AMBR and give PCRF.If control mode is per APN or per UE per APN, and APN-AMBR need send to PCRF and do PCC decision-making, and then PGW need send APN-AMBR and give PCRF.

Step 5 is returned default bearing and is set up response in 6.

In the step 7, MME receives default bearing foundation response, sends to carry to set up to eNB and asks, and this message can be contained in the S1_MME control messages.

If control mode is per APN or per UE per APN; Because current flow process is first PDN connection that sets up for APN; Reason need need be carried the APN-AMBR parameter is APN-AMBR to eNB upload control with described in the present embodiment step 2 in the S1_MME control messages; APN under identification is carried in eNB need carry the APN sign in this message, be used for setting up carrying related with affiliated APN, accomplishes APN-AMBR and controls.

Step 8 is reshuffled through the RRC connection in 12, and this UE sets up and carries.

Present embodiment passes through said process; When UE and PDN network are set up article one PDN and are connected; The AMBR that the relevant information that this PDN is connected the AMBR of corresponding A PN sends to APN-AMBR carries out functional entity, and AMBR carry out functional entity begin to carry out this PDN connect under the controlled function of APN-AMBR of APN.

The method of introducing embodiment one below is in the SAE system, and concrete application implementation routine 3 when the existing PDN of UE initiation connects the PDN connection building process of APN.For the service of using network to provide; UE may set up many PDN and be connected to same PDN network; Flow process in the present embodiment and specific embodiment 2 are roughly the same; Difference is to have set up the situation that PDN connects for the user, and when the user is extra when setting up PDN and connect, its AMBR processing method is with to set up for the first time the PDN connection different.Concrete difference, following flow process is said:

If the AMBR control mode is per APN or per UE per APN; The APN that current flow process connects for existing PDN sets up PDN and connects; If the AMBR of APN-AMBR carries out functional entity and stores APN-AMBR information; Then set up in the request message and need not carry the APN-AMBR parameter, otherwise need in this message, carry APN-AMBR information at default bearing.

If control mode is per APN or per UE per APN; Current flow process is to connect for the APN that has the PDN connection sets up PDN; If store APN-AMBR information at eNB; Then in the S1_MME control messages, the APN-AMBR parameter need be do not carried, otherwise in this message, APN-AMBR is APN-AMBR to eNB upload control need be transmitted again;

APN under identification is carried in eNB need carry the APN sign in this message, be used for setting up carrying related with affiliated APN, accomplishes APN-AMBR and controls.

Present embodiment and specific embodiment 2 are all the PDN connection building process; But the implementing precondition of present embodiment is the user has set up article one PDN connection through APN; The present embodiment flow process is the extra PDN connection building process of corresponding A PN; Carry out at needs under the AMBR control mode of APN, owing to set up in the process in article one PDN of APN connection, the information with APN-AMBR has passed to AMBR execution functional entity; The transmission of therefore in this flow process, having omitted APN-AMBR, the resource of having saved signalling path.

The method of introducing embodiment one below is in the SAE system, and concrete application implementation routine 4 when dedicated bearer is set up flow process.Come transmit traffic data when the user need adopt the dedicated bearer of non-GBR, for the control of the non-GBR of special use being carried the AMBR that carries out every APN at eNB, concrete grammar is as shown in Figure 5:

Alternatively, in the step 1, PCC is provided decision-making by PCRF;

Step 2 is sent the dedicated bearer request of setting up in 3;

In the step 4, MME receives the dedicated bearer request of setting up, and sends the request of foundation of carrying to eNB.If this is carried as non-GBR and carries; And the control mode of AMBR is per APN or per UE per APN, but is not per UE UL per APN DL control mode, then in this message, need comprise the information related with APN of carrying; As can comprise the APN sign; Be used for dedicated bearer and APN direct correlation are perhaps comprised the sign of default bearing, through dedicated bearer is related with default bearing; And then dedicated bearer and APN associated, the APN under eNB carries through identification accomplishes the control of APN-AMBR;

Step 5 is reshuffled through the RRC connection in 9, and this UE sets up and carries.

Alternatively, in the step 10, send the PCC acknowledge message.

Present embodiment is carried out at needs under the control mode of APN-AMBR through said process, and eNB can discern non-GBR and carry affiliated APN, and the non-GBR dedicated bearer of setting up is carried out the control of the AMBR of every APN.

A gateway control session is unique corresponding with a PDN, because PDN adopts APN to identify, therefore an APN is corresponding with a gateway control session.Therefore the control information of APN-AMBR only need be transmitted in the flow process that APN activates, and therefore is mainly concerned with the flow process of attachment flow (activating the APN of acquiescence) and " UE and new PDN connect (activating non-acquiescence APN) ".

In the step 1, S-GW receives Gateway control session and sets up request.

In the step 2, S-GW sends Gateway control session to PCRF and sets up request.

If PGW can not be voluntarily or drawn the control mode of AMBR according to other information, then in this message, need comprise the control mode indication information of AMBR; If current flow process is the part of attachment flow, and the control mode of AMBR is per APN or per UE per APN, then in this message, need carry the APN-AMBR parameter; If current flow process is the part of article one PDN connection building process of activating signatory APN, and the control mode of AMBR is per APN or per UE per APN, then in this message, need carry the APN-AMBR parameter; If the control mode of AMBR is per UE or per UE per APN, and PCRF need obtain the information of UE-AMBR, as: PCRF need revise UE-AMBR, then need comprise the information of UE-AMBR in this message.

In the step 3, PCRF sends the PCC decision-making to PGW and gives information; If PGW can not be voluntarily or drawn the control mode of AMBR according to other information, then in this message, need comprise the control mode indication information of AMBR; If the control mode of AMBR is per APN or per UE per APN, then need in this message, comprise the parameter of APN-AMBR, this APN-AMBR parameter can be included in during PCC decision-making gives information, and also can be included among the PCC rule.

In the step 4, PGW returns PCC decision-making acknowledge message to PCRF.

In the step 5, PCRF sends Gateway control session to S-GW and sets up acknowledge message.

In the step 6, S-GW initiates entity to Gateway control session request and returns Gateway control session request-reply message.

Present embodiment adopts the PMIP protocol interface through said process between S-GW and P-GW, do not support under the situation that AMBR information transmits, through the PCRF functional entity, the information of AMBR is passed to AMBR carry out functional entity.

Concrete application implementation example 8, the interface of 2.3.11 between S-GW and P-GW is PMIP-basedS5/S8, PMIP (Proxy Mobile IP, mobile IP agent) supports to transmit the scene of AMBR, under this kind scene, the transmission method of APN-AMBR.Concrete scheme is as shown in Figure 9.

In the step 1, S-GW receives the agent binding update request.

In the step 2, S-GW initiates the agent binding update request to P-GW.

The part of flow process that if this flow process is attachment flow or APN to be activated (article one PDN connection of the signatory APN that will activate is set up); And PMIP supports to transmit the AMBR parameter; Then need to consider:, then in this message, should comprise the APN-AMBR parameter if the AMBR control mode is per APN or per UE per APN; If PCRF need obtain UE-AMBR information, as: revise UE-AMBR, and the AMBR control mode is per UE or per UE per APN, then in this message, should comprises the UE-AMBR parameter.

In the step 3, initiate that IP_CAN session sets up or new technological process more.

In the step 4, return agent binding and confirm.

In the step 5, return agent binding update and reply.

Present embodiment adopts the PMIP protocol interface through said process between S-GW and P-GW, and supports under the situation that AMBR information transmits, the information of AMBR is passed to AMBR carry out functional entity.
