Background technology
One, UE (User Equipment, subscriber equipment) configured (configuration) for NAS (Non Access Stratum, Non-Access Stratum) signaling (signaling) low priority (low priority).
Existing protocol has proposed for the UE that is configured to NAS signaling low priority; Be used for professional PDN (the Packet Data Network of emergency (promptly) in case set up; Packet data network) connects, then need delete the professional PDN of other all non-emergency and connect.
Two, Emergency Attach (emergency attached).
Professional in order to make UE can in restricted cell (restricted cell refers to the sub-district that UE can't normally be attached to network), obtain emergency; Current agreement regulation UE can initiate emergency attach in restricted cell; In case and UE initiation emergency attach, then UE will not allow to set up the professional PDN connection of other non-emergency; Therefore when UE only exists the professional PDN of emergency to connect, can think that then this UE is in emergency attach state.
Three, support the UE that multipriority is professional.
The PDN that the UE of the current low of having access priority (low access priority) can initiate normal access priority (normal access priority) connects; Concrete, generally, the PDN that UE need set up low access priority connects; Yet when emergency case (as be destroyed, monitor special circumstances etc.) occurring, the PDN that UE need set up normal access priority connects.
Four, APN based session management congestion control (based on the congested control of session management of APN (Access Point Name, APN)).
When network equipment monitors APN when congested, network equipment can start the session management congestion control mechanism based on APN; Concrete, the session management request message that network equipment refusal UE initiates; And/or, initiate the PDN connection that PDN goes the connection procedure deletion to use congested APN to set up.
Five, General NAS level mobility management congestion control (the congested control of general NAS (Non-access Stratum, Non-Access Stratum) level mobile management).
When overload took place the core net controlled entity, network can start the congested control of general NAS level mobile management; Concrete, the mobile management request message that network equipment refusal UE initiates.
In realizing process of the present invention, the inventor finds to exist at least in the prior art following problem:
If being configured to the UE of NAS signaling low priority has initiated the professional PDN of emergency and has connected the process of setting up; Then network equipment need be deleted the professional PDN connection of all non-emergency, and this moment, the PDN connection of the normal access priority that UE sets up also will be deleted; The professional PDN of the emergency of this UE connects and is connected and can't coexists with the PDN of normal access priority, has influenced user's use experience.

In the embodiment of the invention, current network generation signaling congestion is specially current network and is in overload or starts the session management congestion control mechanism based on APN; Wherein, whether network equipment (being the core net controlled entity) can be in overload (overload) state according to configuration guidelines decision network (being core net) when starting general NAS level congestion control mechanism; Concrete, if when the load of current network has surpassed pre-configured overload threshold, then this network equipment can determine network and is in overload.
It should be noted that; For the UE that is configured to NAS signaling low priority; When setting up the PDN connection; Connect except setting up the professional PDN of emergency, and use outside Access class (access grade) the 11-15 access network, all need connect to set up and carry low access priority indicator (indication) in the request message at PDN; And network equipment need be preserved low access priority indication in the Bearer Context that PDN connects when receiving that request message is set up in the PDN connection of carrying low access priority indicator; Therefore, this network equipment can connect with the PDN that obtains low access priority through the precedence information of each PDN connection among the inquiry Bearer Context.
Step 102, the precedence information that network equipment connects according to PDN are deleted the PDN that exists among the Bearer Context and are connected.
In the embodiment of the invention, network equipment connects through the PDN that initiates to exist among PDN disconnection (connection goes to connect) the process deletion Bearer Context.
In the embodiment of the invention; The precedence information that network equipment connects according to PDN is deleted the PDN that exists among the Bearer Context and is connected; Include but not limited to: when network equipment connected at the precedence information deletion PDN that connects according to PDN, the PDN that preferentially deletes the low access priority that exists among the Bearer Context connected.
It should be noted that; The situation that the PDN of the low access priority that exists among the above-mentioned preferential deletion Bearer Context connects; Be specially: when network congestion degree is light; The PDN that only deletes low access priority connects, and when network congestion degree is heavier, deletes the PDN connection of low access priority and the PDN connection that priority is higher than low access priority simultaneously.
Further; In the embodiment of the invention; The precedence information that PDN connects among the Bearer Context of network equipment acquisition UE, and the PDN ways of connecting that exists among the precedence information deletion Bearer Context according to the PDN connection include but not limited to following mode:
Mode one, network equipment are after the session management congestion control mechanism that starts based on APN APN; The precedence information that the PDN that from the Bearer Context of UE, to use APN to set up connects, and the PDN of the precedence information deletion UE that connects according to PDN connects.
Mode two, network equipment are starting general NAS level mobile management congestion control mechanism; And after the session management request message that receives from UE; If finding the session management request message is to connect in order to ask to set up the professional PDN of emergency; Then from the Bearer Context of UE, obtain the precedence information that PDN connects, and delete the PDN connection of UE according to the precedence information that PDN connects.
Mode three, network equipment are starting general NAS level mobile management congestion control mechanism; And after the session management request message that receives from UE; If finding the session management request message is in order to ask to set up the PDN connection that priority is higher than low priority; Then from the Bearer Context of UE, obtain the precedence information that PDN connects, and delete the PDN connection of UE according to the precedence information that PDN connects.
It should be noted that PDN that above-mentioned priority is higher than low priority connects includes but not limited to: the PDN of normal access priority (normal access priority) connects.
In the embodiment of the invention, above-mentioned session management request message includes but not limited to following message: PDN CONNECTIVITY REQUEST (Packet Data Network's connection request) message; BEARER RESOURCE ALLOCATION REQUEST (bearing resource request for allocation) message; BEARER RESOURCE MODIFICATION REQUEST (bearing resource is revised request) message.
In sum, in the embodiment of the invention, delete PDN through the precedence information of PDN connection and connect, connect with the PDN that when deletion PDN connects, preferentially deletes the low access priority that exists among the said Bearer Context; When network congestion degree is light, only need the PDN of deletion low access priority to connect, and when network congestion degree was heavier, the PDN that just needs deletion priority to be higher than low access priority (access low priority) connected; Thereby can guarantee when network congestion degree is light that PDN that priority is higher than low access priority connects with the PDN of emergency (promptly) business is connected and can coexists; Thereby guarantee that as far as possible UE can obtain normal priority business and urgency traffic simultaneously, improve user's use experience.
Further; For the UE that is configured to NAS signaling low priority; When the PDN that sets up professional PDN connection of emergency or normal access priority connects; Only need the PDN that deletes the low access priority that preserves among the Bearer Context to connect; Thereby can guarantee that PDN that priority is higher than low priority connects with the professional PDN of emergency is connected and can coexists, and makes UE can obtain normal priority business and urgency traffic simultaneously, assurance user use experience.
