Description

A kind of communication system, apparatus and method
Technical field
The present invention relates to communication technical field, relate in particular to a kind of communication system, apparatus and method.
Background technology
In local network deployment scenario, user terminal (UE) can be linked into and this by Home eNodeBThe local network of Home eNodeB association, this technology is called local IP access (LocalIPAccess, LIPA).Local network comprises home network, enterprise network etc. UE also can directly access by family base station systemInternet, this technology is called the IP operation shunting (SelectedIPTrafficOffload, SIPTO) of selection.
In 3G (Third Generation) Moblie standardization body (3GPP) the R10 stage, realize UE by family's baseStand and access the LIPA technology of local network, UE is linked into after Home eNodeB, and data are directly passed through local gateway(LocalGateway, LGW) accessing local network, and do not need through core net. From chain of command andUser's face, LGW has realized the part merit of packet data network gateway (PDNGateway, PGW)Can, but because LGW is arranged in local network, not the network entity that is arranged in 3GPP operator,Therefore relative PGW, the function that LGW realizes is relatively simple.
In addition, 3GPP also wishes that in discussion can adopt LIPA framework to realize UE sets up by Home eNodeBThe method that SIPTO connects
At present, agreement is supported PGW and PCRF (PolicyandChargingRulesFunction, strategyAnd charging rule functions) between interface, for be connected to PGW Packet Data Network (PDN) connect,PCRF can dynamically send service quality (QualityofService, QOS) control strategy to PGW.
The attached LIPA framework that Figure 1 shows that the R10 stage, if UE sets up the normal carrying to core netConnect, data surface passage is that UE passes through Uu interface to (evolution) Home eNodeB (H (e) NB), more logicalCross S1-U interface to gateway (ServingGW, SGW), to PGW, pass through PGW through S5 interfaceSGi interface be connected in the network of access. Wherein, H (e) NB is connected to and is moved by S1-MME interfaceMobility management entity (MME), MME is connected to SGW by S11 interface. But, if UE buildsVertical LIPA connects, and data surface passage is (e) NB from UE to H, then by the SGi interface access of LGWLocal network, and do not need the functional entity through core net.
Wherein, LGW can realize the function of part PGW, for example IP address assignment in local networkDeng. The R10 stage is simple in order to realize, and LGW and H (e) NB realizes and (closing on same physical entityIf). But LGW does not support the interface between PCRF and LGW, can not communicate by letter with PCRF.
Therefore local network do not support dynamic strategy control and charging (PolicyControlandCharging,PCC) assigning process, when UE initiates the process of establishing of LIPA dedicated bearer, or initiates LIPA to holdThe processes such as the QoS amendment of carrying all can be refused by network.
The follow-up SIPTO frame of the follow-up evolution architecture of LIPA being discussed and having been accessed by Home eNodeB of 3GPPStructure, as shown in Figure 2, compared to the LIPA framework in R10 stage, the main distinction is LGW and H (e) NBOn different physical entities, realize (setting up separately), between LGW and H (e) NB, be connected by Sxx interface,Business continuance when better supporting that UE moves. Wherein, LGW is connected to SGW by S5 interface,H (e) NB is connected to SGW by S1-U interface, and is connected to mobile management by S1-MME interfaceEntity (MobilityManagementEntity, MME), passes through S11 interface between MME and SGWConnect. Be connected to SGW, H (e) NB at LGW by security gateway (SecurityGW, SeGW)Be connected to SGW and MME through SeGW and (evolution) femto gateway (H (e) NBGW).But, in the LIPA/SIPTO framework of evolution, do not support the interface between PCRF and LGW, still do not haveThere is the dynamic QQS control procedure realizing LIPA/SIPTO carrying, also do not support that LIPA/SIPTO is specialThe foundation of carrying and the QOS amendment to LIPA/SIPTO carrying.
This just means that all business of accessing by LIPA/SIPTO all must adopt identical acquiescence QoS(defaultQoS) value, the QoS of this acquiescence is kept at home subscriber server (Home as CAMEL-Subscription-InformationSubscriberServer, HSS) in, UE is obtained from HSS by MME in the time adhering to, and this is contractedAcquiescence qos value is non-ensured bit rate (nonGBR) carrying, can not ensure the demand of real time business. WithTime, along with the increase of user's request, for example user may need to access by LIPA mode the printing of familyMachine, also may realize by the movie resource storehouse of the notebook of mobile phone access family Online Video of mobile phone etc.If all adopt signing acquiescence qos value obviously can not meet the QoS of business for these business provide serviceDemand.
As can be seen here, along with the development of network application, user adopts LIPA/SIPTO to connect by family's baseStand while initiating different business, need network also can control for these business provide different QoS. First,This just need to realize communicating by letter between LGW and PCRF in local network, then, and further based on LGWRealizing dynamic PCC with communicating by letter of PCRF distributes.
