Description

Chain processing method and device, data traffic report method and device

Technical field

The present invention relates to the communications field, in particular to a kind of chain processing method and device, data traffic report method and device.

Background technology

In order to keep 3-G (Generation Three mobile communication system) in the competitiveness of the communications field, for the user provides the mobile communication service that speed is faster, time delay is lower, more personalized and reduces operating cost of operator, third generation partner program (3rd Generation Partnership Project, abbreviating 3GPP as) the standard operation group just is being devoted to the research of evolved packet system (Evolved Packet System, be called for short EPS).

Pouring in of a large amount of large-data operations in recent years causes disposing originally the operator of 3GPP network in the face of arriving very big flash pressure.The wireless local Access Network that frequency range is free (Wireless Local Access Network, abbreviating WLAN as) transmission rate of eating dishes without rice or wine that improves constantly of technology caused the attention of the operator of 3GPP network, when operator wishes to eat dishes without rice or wine capacity by the spread spectrum of WLAN, guarantee that the user experiences, and at present WLAN is linked in the 3GPP core net as wireless access technology independently, this causes the 3GPP Virtual network operator need dispose extra network element supporting WLAN to insert, and this mode need have extra operation cost to come operation and maintenance.With Long Term Evolution (Long Term Evolution, abbreviate LTE as) merge with WLAN, both can enlarge wireless processing capacity, also can guarantee the requirement of customer service at service quality (Quality of Service abbreviates QoS as), mobility, safety and aspect such as energy-conservation.Wherein the fusion mode of a kind of LTE and WLAN begins to be admitted by operator, that is: LTE inserts as main, and the access control of terminal, authentication etc. all insert by LTE and finish; WLAN inserts as subordinate, can enlarge bandwidth of air-interface, reaches to reduce the LTE load.

Fig. 1 is the structural representation according to the evolution grouping domain system of correlation technique, and as shown in Figure 1, whole EPS system is divided into wireless access network and core net two parts.In core net, comprised home subscriber server (Home Subscriber Server, abbreviate HSS as), Mobility Management Entity (Mobility Management Entity, abbreviate MME as), Serving GPRS Support Node (Serving GPRS Support Node, abbreviate SGSN as), policy charging rule function (Policy and Charging Rule Function, abbreviate PCRF as), gateway (Serving Gateway, abbreviate S-GW as), packet data gateway (PDN Gateway, abbreviate P-GW as) and packet data network (Packet Data Network, packet data network), ordinary base station, joint base station.Need to prove, for those skilled in the art is expressly understood above-mentioned ordinary base station and/or joint base station more, hereinafter ordinary base station and joint base station can be described as well-known wireless access network (Radio Access Network abbreviates RAN as) node jointly.

Below detailed each several part function:

Home subscriber server is the permanent storage place of user contracting data, is positioned at the home network that the user contracts.

Mobility Management Entity, be user contracting data at the storage place of current network, be responsible for the Non-Access Stratum signaling management of terminal to network, the safety verification function of terminal, mobile management, the tracking under user's idle pulley and paging management function and the bearer management of terminal.

Service universal packet wireless business affair (General Packet Radio Service, abbreviate GPRS as) support node, be GERAN (GSM/EDGE RadioAccess Network) and land radio access web (UMTS Terrestrial Radio Access Network, abbreviate UTRAN as) the business support point of user access core network network, similar with Mobility Management Entity on the function, be responsible for user's functions such as position renewal, paging management and bearer management.

Gateway is the gateway that core net arrives wireless system, is responsible for terminal to the user plane bearer of core net, the data buffer memory under the terminal idle pulley, function, Lawful Interception and grouped data route and the forwarding capability that network side is initiated service request; Gateway is responsible for adding up the situation that user terminal uses wireless network, and produces the ticket that terminal is used wireless network, sends charging gateway to.

Packet data gateway, it is the gateway of evolution system and this system's external packet data network, it is connected on internet and the packet data network, functions such as Internet protocol (Internet Protocol the abbreviates IP as) address assignment of responsible terminal, billing function, grouping packet filtering, policy control.

Packet data network is the IP operation network of operator, and this network provides IP service by the core net of operator for the user.

Policy charging rule functional entity is the server of being responsible for providing charging control, the control of online credit, thresholding control, qos policy aspect rule in the evolution system.

Ordinary base station (NodeB/RNC, Radio Network Control or eNodeB) mainly is responsible for the transmitting-receiving of wireless signal, by air interface and terminal contact, Radio Resource, scheduling of resource, the access control of management air interface.

Joint base station, referred to the ordinary base station of above-mentioned WLAN access function integrated, except the function of ordinary base station, the data traffic of eating dishes without rice or wine can also be diverted in the WLAN access, and two kinds of access technologies are carried out functions such as RRM, scheduling of resource, access control.

Above-mentioned Serving GPRS Support Node is the SGSN that upgraded, can support and gateway between the S4 interface, and and mobility management unit between adopt the GTPv2 agreement to carry out intercommunication.And the PS territory network architecture and Fig. 1 are different for the SGSN that supports the 3G core net.This moment, SGSN adopted gn interface to link to each other with MME, and the GTPv1 agreement is adopted in intercommunication.SGSN can not link to each other with gateway, is connected to Gateway GPRS Support Node (Gateway GPRS Support Node is called for short GGSN) by gn interface and directly carries out the packet data network visit.

In the correlation technique, the ability of wireless net member mainly is directly related with access technology, ordinary base station as the RAN node is merely able to support a kind of access technology, so ordinary base station does not have measurement, collects, adds up and reports from the eat dishes without rice or wine information relevant with the WLAN access of UE and the ability that the WLAN resource is controlled and managed.Yet owing to the joint base station of having introduced as the RAN node, require joint base station to have above-mentioned functions, how downlink data is diverted in the WLAN access to determine when to reach, and at present how joint base station is determined that data distribution is not had clear and definite definition as yet to the WLAN access.
