Wherein, described user's bearing identification comprises IP address or identify label.
Said method can be applied to identity and locator separation network and ordinary groups access user.
Based on the current group Access Network, can further introduce the thought of identity position separation, build a kind of novel Internet architecture, be referred to herein as identity and locator separation network.The basic principle of identity and locator separation network is to distribute fixing identify label for UE, UE use identify label replacement IP of the prior art address communicates, and be the user assignment station location marker by the interconnected packet switch gateway (iPAG) that is positioned at the edge, the Internet, the use location sign is carried out route, the mapping between completing user identify label and station location marker and conversion.
Fig. 2 is the identity of prior art and the configuration diagram of locator separation network, due to UE and the iPAG only relate to Fig. 1 gruping insertion network in identity and locator separation network data routing procedure in, therefore omitted winding in RAN, ACF, UPS etc. minutes and entered network element in Fig. 2.Identity shown in Figure 2 and locator separation network comprise UE 201, iPAG 202, generic router (Common Router is called for short CR) 203, location register (Location Register is called for short LR) 204, being described as follows of each entity:
UE 201, and by the gruping insertion network accessing Internet, user's access identity sign (Access Identity is called for short AID) replaces IP address to communicate with other subscriber equipmenies of network, application server as the source address of IP packet.
IPAG 202, in possessing Fig. 1 the function of iPAG, at UE when iPAG sets up grouped data and connects, for user assignment user AID replaces the IP address, also assigned address identifies (Routing Identity is called for short RID) simultaneously, sets up AID and RID mapping relations (AID, RID), and with described mapping relations report LR; With the far-end communication process in, can obtain the AID of far-end UE and the mapping relations between RID from LR according to far-end AID, or obtain the AID of remote subscriber and the mapping relations between RID from the packet of the remote subscriber that receives, thereby processing and the forwarding capability of completing the IP packet according to AID and the mapping relations between RID of local terminal UE and far-end UE.
CR 103, complete the calculating of Routing Protocol, and according to the iPAG of RID forwarding data bag to purpose UE place.
LR 104, and the AID that preservation iPAG reports and the mapping relations between RID provide the query function according to mapping relations, according to the AID in query requests, return to RID corresponding to AID.
In above-mentioned framework, U1-2 is the interface between UE 201 and iPAG 202, and namely in Fig. 1, UE arrives the interface in the user plane of PAG through RAN; M1 is the interface between iPAG 202 and LR 204, for the mapping relations that report and inquire about between AID and RID; M2 is the interface between iPAG 202 and CR 203, is used for the data retransmission between iPAG.
Suppose that UE-A is client, UE-B is service end, and data transmission procedure is as follows:
(1) UE-A is take the identify label AID-A of oneself as the identify label AID-B of source address, opposite end as destination address, build IP packet { source address=AID-A, destination address=AID-B, data load }, by and iPAG between grouped data connect and send to iPAG-A;
(2) iPAG-A is according to the AID of UE-A and UE-B and the mapping relations between RID, with UE-A station location marker RID-A as source address, the station location marker RID-B of UE-B is as destination address, and will contain the raw data packets such as AID-A and AID-B and data load as the new data load { source address=RID-A that builds packet, destination address=RID-B, data load { AID-A, AID-B, initial data load } }, through the CR route to iPAG-B;
Wherein to be iPAG-A obtain from LR according to the sign AID-B of UE-B RID-B.
(3) iPAG-B deblocking packet is reduced into the initial packet { AID-A, AID-B, data load } that UE-A sends, then according to AID-B with Packet Generation to UE-B.
When the user is moved, as move to the zone that other iPAG are responsible for, at this moment AID remains unchanged, and just RID changes.Therefore can find out from said process, far-end UE (such as map application server) is in user's Operational Visit process, can directly obtain AID from the source address information of packet, and further might use the unique definite user's launch position business of AID based on the framework of existing gruping insertion network location service shown in Figure 1, namely can use user's face sign (AID) to obtain positional information by gruping insertion network location service framework, the following describes address information how to obtain chain of command network element ACF.
As shown in Figure 3, it is the network architecture diagram that the embodiment of the present invention is obtained customer position information, increased the interface L4 between GMLC 306 and LR 303 on the framework of gruping insertion network location service shown in Figure 1 and identity shown in Figure 2 and locator separation network architecture combined basis, and the interface L5 between GMLC306 and PDS304, wherein the function of iPAG 301, UPS 302, LR303, PDS 304, ACF305, LSC307 also has corresponding variation.
Concrete enforcement can be divided into two scenes:
Scene one: for identity and locator separation network user and use the L4 interface to obtain the ACF address information:
LSC 307, from from the packet data package of UE obtain AID, and use AID to send location service request to GMLC.
GMLC 306, receive LSC and use AID as the location service request of user ID, and use AID to send the routing iinformation request to LR, if LR returns to the ACF address, send location service request to ACF; If LR returns to internal indicator, obtain the ACF address to UPS, then send location service request to ACF, carry AID and/or internal indicator in location service request, and the positional information that ACF returns is sent to LSC;
LR 303, according to the information that iPAG reports, when preserving AID and RID mapping relations, preserve the ACF address at UE place, and/or the mapping relations between AID and internal indicator (MSISDN and/or IMSI); When GMLC query routing information, inquire about and return ACF address and/or the internal indicator (MSISDN and/or IMSI) at UE place according to AID, perhaps further to iPAG query routing information, and Query Result is returned to GMLC, perhaps return to the RID of iPAG, routing inquiry request is redirected to iPAG;
ACF 305, when receiving location service request, if only comprise AID in request, the inquiry local data obtains internal indicator corresponding to described AID (MSISDN and/or IMSI), then use internal indicator to carry out the Access Network position fixing process, and return to the current positional information of UE to GMLC;
IPAG 301, when reporting the mapping relations of AID and RID, simultaneously the ACF address at UE place and/or the mapping relations between AID and internal indicator (MSISDN and/or IMSI) reported LR; Perhaps receive the route information query request of GMLC or LR, according to ACF address and/or the internal indicator (MSISDN and/or IMSI) corresponding to AID at AID inquiry UE place, and return to Query Result to GMLC or LR.
In framework, the L4 interface is the interface between GMLC 306 and LR 308, is used for GMLC and uses AID to the request of LR request route information to LR.
Under this framework, the location service process comprises the following steps:
Step 301A, LSC send location service request according to AID to GMLC;
Step 302A, GMLC obtain the ACF address information according to AID, and then the ACF to the UE place sends location service request;
The method of obtaining the ACF address information has multiple:
Method one: GMLC obtains internal indicator corresponding to AID from LR, then utilize prior art to obtain the ACF address information by UPS, and this requires iPAG that the mapping relations of AID and internal indicator are reported LR, specifically referring to Fig. 4;
Method two: GMLC directly obtains the ACF address information from LR, and this requires iPAG that the ACF address information of UE is reported LR, specifically referring to Fig. 5;
Method three: GMLC obtains the ACF address information by LR pass-through mode or redirected mode with iPAG, specifically referring to Fig. 6.
Step 303A, ACF obtain the UE internal indicator, carry out the gruping insertion network position fixing process, then positional information are returned to GMLC, and GMLC returns to LSC again.
The method of obtaining the UE internal indicator has multiple:
Only have AID in the position requests that method one: ACF receives, obtain internal indicator according to AID inquiry local data;
Method two: iPAG reports LR with the mapping relations between AID and internal indicator, and LR offers GMLC at GMLC query routing information process, and GMLC carries internal indicator in the location service request that sends ACF;
Method three: iPAG returns to GMLC or directly returns to GMLC by LR in route information query request, and then GMLC carries this information in the location service request that sends ACF.
Method in step 302A can be interosculated with the described method of step 303A, and concrete associated methods is seen following specific embodiment.
Scene two: use identity and locator separation network and ordinary groups Access Network and use L2 or L5 interface to obtain the ACF address information:
LSC 307, from from the packet data package of UE obtain user's bearing identification, described user's bearing identification is IP address or AID, and user's bearing identification sends location service request to GMLC.
GMLC 306, receive LSC user bearing identification as the location service request of user ID, and user's bearing identification sends the routing iinformation request to UPS (AAA) or PDS, if UPS or PDS only return to internal indicator, further obtain the ACF address to UPS (HSS or HLR), then use internal indicator to send location service request to ACF, and the positional information that ACF returns is sent to LSC; If UPS (AAA) or PDS also return to the ACF address, can optimally directly send location service request to ACF;
UPS 302, and the aaa server in the gruping insertion network that mainly refers to according to the information that iPAG reports, is preserved the mapping relations between user's bearing identification and internal indicator (MSISDN and/or IMSI), and the ACF address at UE place; When GMLC query routing information, inquire about and return the internal indicator (MSISDN and/or IMSI) of UE and/or the ACF address at UE place according to user's bearing identification;
PDS 303, and the information that the data that report according to iPAG connect is preserved the mapping relations between user's bearing identification and internal indicator (MSISDN and/or IMSI), and the ACF address at UE place; When GMLC query routing information, inquire about and return the internal indicator (MSISDN and/or IMSI) of UE and/or the ACF address at UE place according to user's bearing identification;
ACF 305, when receiving location service request, carry out the Access Network position fixing process according to the internal indicator (MSISDN and/or IMSI) that carries in request, and return to the current positional information of UE;
In framework, the L5 interface is the interface between GMLC 306 and PDS 304, be used for GMLC user bearing identification to the PDS request route information, the L2 interface is the interface of GMLC 306 and UPS 302, is used for GMLC user bearing identification to the UPS request route information.
Under this framework, the location service process comprises following key step:
Step 301B, LSC send location service request according to user's bearing identification to GMLC;
Step 302B, GMLC obtain internal indicator and ACF address information according to user's bearing identification, and then the ACF to the UE place sends location service request;
The method of obtaining internal indicator and ACF address information has multiple:
Method one: GMLC obtains internal indicator corresponding to user's bearing identification from UPS (AAA), then utilize prior art to pass through UPS (HSS or HLR) and obtain the ACF address information; Or GMLC obtains internal indicator corresponding to user's bearing identification and ACF address information from UPS (AAA);
Method two: GMLC obtains internal indicator corresponding to user's bearing identification from PDS, then utilize prior art to pass through UPS (HSS or HLR) and obtain the ACF address information; Or GMLC obtains internal indicator corresponding to user's bearing identification and ACF address information from PDS;
Step 303B, ACF obtain and carry out the gruping insertion network position fixing process, then positional information are returned to GMLC, and GMLC returns to LSC again.
As shown in Figure 4, it is the flow chart of embodiment of the present invention identity and locator separation network customer location operational approach one, described GMLC in this embodiment and obtained the internal indicator (MSISDN and/or IMSI) of UE from LR, thereby realization is to the method for chain of command network element ACF request position information.The method flow process comprises the following steps:
Step 401a, UE carry out the grouping attaching process, send to ACF by RAN and adhere to request, and ACF further sends to UPS and adheres to request, and UPS accepts the user and adheres to request, and to ACF download user data;
In said process, ACF obtains user's IMSI from the Non-Access Stratum business request information of UE, if the user has configured MSIDN information, ACF can obtain user's MSISDN information from the user data that UPS downloads; UPS after adhering to successfully, causes ACF to change if the user moves on to from obtaining and record ACF address, the current place of UE adhering to of ACF request, ACF meeting launch position renewal process, and UPS is the ACF address of new record more.
Step 401b, according to UE request, carry out grouped data and connect the process of setting up, ACF controls iPAG and sets up UE and be connected with grouped data between iPAG;
When said process ACF controlled iPAG establishment data connection session, the internal indicator (MSISDN and/or IMSI) of the UE that ACF will obtain in the grouping attaching process sent to iPAG, and iPAG obtains the address information of ACF from the message that ACF sent out in addition.
At said process, also can carry out the assigning process of AID, concrete assigning process can be:
1) the local configuration of UE;
2) in the UPS configuration, and download to ACF with user data, ACF controls when iPAG creates data connection session AID is sent to iPAG, then distributes to UE by iPAG;
3) in the aaa server configuration, iPAG is when creating the data connection, and (MSISDN and/or IMSI) obtains to aaa server by internal indicator, then distributes to UE by iPAG.
After setting up the grouped data connection, iPAG sets up the incidence relation between internal indicator (MSISDN and/or IMSI) and AID.
According to the difference of access technology, step 401a and 401b carry out in same process, can be also in not independent execution in the same time.
Step 402, iPAG send the mapping relations reporting message to LR, and main purpose is that the mapping relations with AID and RID report LR, in order to realize the purpose of the present embodiment location service, also needs further the mapping relations between AID and internal indicator to be reported LR;
Mapping relations between step 403, LR preservation AID and RID and the mapping relations between AID and internal indicator;
Specific implementation can be with internal indicator as a field in mapping relations, namely record content and be the mapping relations of (AID, RID, IMSI and/or MSISDN), can with the ancillary data of internal indicator when original mapping relations (AID, RID), can be also also to set up new mapping relations (AID, IMSI and/or MSISDN) outside independent and original mapping relations (AID, RID).
Step 404, LR return to mapping relations to iPAG and report response;
Step 405, complete grouped data and connect to set up after, the user just can use UE to access Internet service, the source address of packet data package at this moment is AID, supposes that here application server is LSC, LSC can obtain from packet data package user's AID;
Step 406, when LSC need to obtain the UE current location, send location service request to GMLC, wherein carry the AID of UE as the outside sign of location service;
