MME, in the time that terminal has activated following MTC feature, need to monitor terminal, but is not limited to following MTC feature:

For example, under MTC event monitoring (MTC Monitoring) feature, information reporting rule is: during for the Event triggered of terminal configuration, report the end message monitoring to MTC server.For example: monitor terminal from the access of wrong access point, or monitor the user ID of terminal and device identification when inharmonious, the access point error message of terminal is reported to MTC server.Under time controlled (TimeControlled) feature, whether the time controlled period of MME monitoring terminal changes etc.Corresponding reporting events rule is: monitor terminal time, controlled period changed time, the time controlled period that terminal is changed reports MTC server.Under off-line instruction (Offline Indication) feature, whether the connection state of MME monitoring terminal and network is in off-line; Corresponding information reports rule to be: monitor terminal in the time of off-line state, the information reporting by terminal in off-line state is to MTC server.Under congested instruction (Jamming Indication) feature, whether the current communications status of MME monitoring terminal is in congested.Corresponding reporting events rule is: monitor terminal in the time of congestion state, the information reporting by terminal in congestion state is to MTC server.

Step 2a:MME, according to the end message monitoring, while determining the event generation in information reporting rule, carries by Modify Bearer Request message the end message monitoring and sends to BBERF or PCEF;

For example, under Time Controlled feature, MME is by the end message monitoring: the time controlled period (Altered Time Period) of variation, sends to BBERF or PCEF.Under Offline Indication feature, MME is by the end message monitoring: terminal, in off-line state, sends to BBERF or PCEF.Under Jamming Indication feature, MME is by the end message monitoring: terminal, in congestion state, sends to BBERF or PCEF.According to different MTC features, the event rules difference of MME, the monitoring information that MME monitors is also different, does not repeat them here.

Step 3a:BBERF or PCEF send the MTC monitoring information of the terminal of receiving to PCRF by GW Control Session Modification message or IP-CAN Session Modification message;

For example, under Time Controlled feature: net control terminal carries out paging or accesses or carry out transfer of data at special time, the Event triggered rule that PCRF sets up is: in the time receiving the information of controlled time of terminal variation, the controlled time that PCEF or BBERF change terminal reports PCRF.

For example, under MTC Monitoring feature, corresponding Event triggered rule is: in the time of the Event triggered of terminal configuration, report corresponding event notice information to PCRF.

For example, under Jamming Indication feature, the Event triggered rule of foundation is: when information in the time receiving terminal in congestion state, PCEF or BBERF by terminal the information reporting in congestion state to PCRF.

For example, under Offline Indication feature, the Event triggered rule of foundation: when information in the time receiving terminal in off-line state, PCEF or BBERF be the information in off-line state to PCRF reporting terminal.

Step 4a:PCRF reports AF by RAR message by the MTC monitoring information of terminal;

PCRF, by re-authentication requests (Re-Auth Request, RAR) message, sends to AF by terminal's status information.In this process, PCRF can determine that the Specific-Action of definition is triggered, and reports AF by " end message monitoring " that receive according to the monitoring information of receiving.

If AF is not MTC Server, the information notice MTC Server of AF meeting MME monitoring.

Step 5a:AF returns to RAA (Re-AuthAnswer, the RAA discrimination weight is responded) message that carries Action Indication information to PCRF;

If AF is not MTC Server, AF can send to MTC server by the information of monitoring.If MTC server, according to the MTC characteristic information of terminal's status information and terminal activation, needs the follow-up control behavior to terminal of instruction MME, return to indication information (Action Indication) to AF.For example: under low movement (Low Mobility) feature, terminal has been carried out high-speed mobile.MTC server is known after this end message monitoring, and returns to Action Indication to MME, and instruction MME carries out resource limitation (Resources Restriction) to this terminal.

Step 6a:PCRF transmission IP-CAN Session Modification Ack message or GW ControlSession Modification Ack message are to PCEF or BBERF.

If step 5a has received Action Indication information, in IP-CAN Session ModificationAck message or GW Control Session Modification Ack message, carry ActionIndication information.

Step 7a:PCEF or BBERF return to Modify Bearer Response message to MME,

If step 5a has received Action Indication information, in message, carry ActionIndication information to MME; MME is according to the processing rule of configuration in signing or the ActionIndication information of receiving, the behavior of control terminal, think that terminal provides the MTC characteristic information activating with this terminal corresponding communication service, as: the resource of limiting terminal access or by terminal from network detach.

The MTC information transferring method that the present embodiment provides, by the PCEF in PCC framework (or BBERF) and PCRF, reports MTC server in time by the information of MME monitoring.MTC server can issue indication information to MME or SGSN by PCRF, the follow-up behavior of instruction MME or SGSN, thereby MTC service corresponding to the MTC characteristic information that provides terminal to activate for terminal.The present embodiment can be notified the server to MTC by the MTC monitoring information of terminal in time, and can make the indication information of MTC server be handed down in time network entity.Meanwhile, strengthen the driver's seat of operator in M2M communication, ensured the interests of operator.

The 4th embodiment to the seven embodiment below, describe PCRF and obtain the MTC characteristic information of terminal activation the various process of Event triggered rule.

In the another kind of machine-classified communication information transmission method example three that Fig. 4 provides for the embodiment of the present invention, PCRF obtains MTC characteristic information that terminal activates the signaling diagram of Event triggered rule from AF.As shown in Figure 4, the present embodiment comprises:

Step 1b: terminal is accomplished to adhering to of network, and set up Gx Session and Rx Session;

The prerequisite of the present embodiment is: terminal has activated MTC characteristic information and completed network attachment (Attach); Between PCEF and PCRF, set up Gx Session, between AF and PCRF, set up RxSession.If under Off-path PCC framework, between BBERF and PCRF, set up Gxx Session.The web interface that terminal can provide by MTC server activates MTC characteristic information.

When step 2b:AF receives specific triggering, need to upgrade the information in PCRF;

Alternatively, be accomplished to after adhering to of network in terminal, terminal sends application layer messages to AF by the carrying of setting up, and triggering AF issues the MTC characteristic information of activation to PCRF.In the present embodiment, MTC server also can be AF.

Alternatively, be accomplished to after network attachment in terminal, for this MTC terminal corresponding MTC Feature that activated new MTCFeature or deexcitation, under this scene, AF obtains the up-to-date variation for the MTC characteristic information of this MTC terminal, and by RAR, the MTC characteristic information of up-to-date activation is sent to PCRF.

The MTC characteristic information that step 3b:AF activates terminal is configured to MTC Specific-Action, and sends to PCRF by AAR message or RAR message.

In AAR (Authentication Application Request) message or RAR (Re-Auth Request) message, add new cell MTC_Specific_Action, for being amended as follows of AAR message:

Alternatively, also can revise the cell Specific-Action in AAR or RAR message, add new event Enumerated Value:Indication_of_MTC_Info_Notification at Specific-Action.

Step 4b:PCRF, according to the variation of the MTC Specific Action receiving, generates corresponding PCCRule, wherein, generates the Event triggered rule (EventTrigger) for the relevant MTC feature of this MTC terminal.Event_Trigger: as defined below:

For example, under Time Controlled feature: net control terminal carries out paging or accesses or carry out transfer of data at special time, PCRF set up Event_Trigger be: receive terminal change the controlled time time information time, PCEF or BBERF by terminal change the controlled time report PCRF.

For example, under MTC Monitoring feature, corresponding Event_Trigger is: in the time of the Event triggered of terminal configuration, report corresponding event notice information to PCRF.

For example, under Jamming Indication feature, corresponding Event_Trigger is: when information in the time receiving terminal in congestion state, PCEF or BBERF by terminal in congested state information report to PCRF.

For example, under Offline Indication feature, corresponding Event_Trigger: when information in the time receiving terminal in off-line state, PCEF or BBERF be the state information in off-line to PCRF reporting terminal.

Step 5b:PCRF sends the Policy and ChargingRule Provision message that carries Event triggered rule to PCEF;

Step 6b:PCRF sends to BBERF or PCEF the GW Controland QoS Rule Provision Ack message that carries Event triggered rule.

Step 7b:BBERF or PCEF send GW Control and QoS Rule Provision to PCRF

If based on off-path PCC framework, PCRF also needs to send Event triggered rule to BBERF.

Further, if follow-up tactful and charging regulation can produce carrying (Bearer) amendment, PCEF or BBERF triggering bearer update flow process.

Further, in such scheme, AF can be in above-mentioned AAR (or RAR message), in Policy andCharging Control Provision message (or GW Control and QoS Rule Provision message) and Update Bearer Request message, carry Activated MTC Feature or Action Indication message, the MTC characteristic information that terminal is activated or relevant Action indication send to MME or SGSN wherein, Action Indication is used to indicate the behavior of MME control terminal, as: the resource of limiting terminal access is used or terminal is disconnected from network.

Further, if the MTC characteristic information that all terminals in MTC set of terminal activate is identical, PCRF can generate corresponding Event triggered rule for this MTC set of terminal, and sends to PCEF or BBERF.
