Embodiment one
In the present embodiment, in the gateway control session on S9a interfaces, in addition to transferring the address information of P-GW, also Transfer an operation instruction position.The effect of the operation instruction position be indicate the P-GW address informations be activation or deactivation or It is installation or unloading or effective or invalid.
As shown in figure 3, the present embodiment flow is described in detail below:
Step S301-S302:Referring to step S201-S202;
Step S303:PCRF is subject to triggering for the IP-CAN session establishments of step S302, find current S9a interfaces not with The corresponding gateway control session of IP-CAN sessions, the then gateway control session that PCRF is initiated on S9a interfaces establish operation.
Wherein, PCRF judge on S9a interfaces whether there is for the corresponding gateway control session of IP-CAN sessions criterion such as Under:Since the gateway control session on S9a interfaces and IP-CAN sessions are many-to-one relations, if PCRF has found the IP-CAN Session is that first IP-CAN session (the IP-CAN sessions of first PDN connection) of the UE is served on the PCRF, then recognizes There is no the gateway control session on corresponding S9a interfaces for the IP-CAN sessions.
The address of P-GW-1 and corresponding operation instruction position 1 are sent to BPCF.BPCF is fixed network network element, BPCF further The address of P-GW-1 and corresponding operation instruction position 1 are sent to fixed network BNG, may be employed direct (by R interfaces) or indirect Mode (by fixed network AAA) etc..
Due to being currently that operation is established in PDN connections, indicating bit should be set to:Activation/installation/effectively/enabled.
Step S304:BNG in fixed network distinguishes EPC- according to the instruction of operation instruction position using P-GW-1 address informations The business datum of routed and the business datum of NSWO ensure business datum (the especially business of EPC-routed so as to independent Data) QoS (especially bandwidth).
Step S305-S306:Referring to step S205-S206;
Step S307:PCRF is subject to triggering for the IP-CAN session establishments of step S306, find current S9a interfaces exist with The corresponding gateway control session of IP-CAN sessions, PCRF initiate the gateway control session modification operation on S9a interfaces, i.e. gateway Control and QoS rules provide operation.
Wherein, PCRF judge on S9a interfaces whether there is for the corresponding gateway control session of IP-CAN sessions criterion such as Under:Gateway control session and IP-CAN sessions on S9a interfaces are many-to-one relations, if PCRF has found the IP-CAN sessions It is (non-first) IP-CAN sessions of serving the UE second, third ... on the PCRF, then it is assumed that the IP-CAN sessions Have existed the gateway control session on corresponding S9a interfaces.
The address of P-GW-2 and corresponding operation instruction position 2 are sent to BPCF.BPCF is fixed network network element, BPCF further The address of P-GW-2 and corresponding operation instruction position 2 are sent to fixed network BNG, may be employed direct (by R interfaces) or indirect Mode (by fixed network AAA) etc..
Due to being currently that operation is established in PDN connections, indicating bit should be set to:Activation/installation/effectively/enabled.
Step S308:BNG in fixed network utilizes P-GW-1 and P-GW-2 address informations area according to the instruction of operation instruction position Divide the business datum of EPC-routed and the business datum of NSWO, ensure business datum (especially EPC-routed so as to independent Business datum) QoS (especially bandwidth).
Step S309:If also more PDN connections are established, corresponding P-GW address informations can pass through the above way The BNG of fixed network is delivered to, BNG matches/filter data packet using the address information of these P-GW.
Step S310:One of PDN connections of terminal are released.Assume that PDN connections 1 are released in the present embodiment.
Step S311:P-GW-1 initiates IP-CAN sessions -1 and terminates operation.
Step S312:PCRF is subject to triggering for the IP-CAN session terminations of step S311, and discovery also exists to be connect with current S9a Other corresponding IP-CAN sessions (corresponding others PDN connections) of gateway control session on mouth, PCRF is initiated on S9a interfaces Gateway control session modification operation, i.e. gateway control and QoS rules provide operation.The address of P-GW-1 and corresponding operation instruction Position 1 is sent to BPCF.BPCF is fixed network network element, and BPCF further sends the address of P-GW-1 and corresponding operation instruction position 1 Fixed network BNG is given, direct (by R interfaces) or indirectly mode (by fixed network AAA) etc. may be employed.
Alternatively, as further optimization, the corresponding operation instruction position 1 in P-GW-1 addresses can be only sent to BPCF.BPCF Operation instruction position 1 is further sent to fixed network BNG.
Due to being currently the operation of PDN Connection Releases, thereby indicate that position should be set to:Deactivation/unloading is/invalid/to be forbidden.
Step S313:BNG deletes or deactivates the P-GW-1 address informations, and the mistake of data packet is no longer used for this information Filter and QoS resource guarantee.
Step S314:Other PDN Connection Releases of the UE, if corresponding PCRF also serve the UE other do not discharge PDN connections, operating procedure is referring to S311-S313;If all IP-CAN sessions of some UE of PCRF services are all It is released, then performs step S211-S212.
Since each PDN establishment of connections can establish the IP-CAN sessions on corresponding Gx interfaces, and IP-CAN sessions The address information of P-GW can be all reported during establishing, even if that two PDN connect selection is same P-GW, situation is also such as This.Therefore, in above-mentioned process step, after PCRF receives IP-CAN session establishments or terminates operation, one layer of judgement is also done, and And there are following two possible operations:
Scheme one:
If 1) PCRF receives a new P-GW address, PCRF is reported to fixed network;
2) if the P-GW address informations that PCRF is received reported and submitted that the P-GW information to fixed network is identical, and PCRF is not required to last time Fixed network is reported to again;
3) if PCRF receives IP-CAN session delete operations, but also there are other correspondences for corresponding P-GW address informations IP-CAN sessions, then PCRF do not perform operation;
4) if PCRF receives IP-CAN session delete operations, and no longer there are other correspondences for corresponding P-GW address informations IP-CAN sessions, then PCRF notify fixed network delete the P-GW address informations;
Scheme two:
When PCRF receives IP-CAN session establishments or terminates operation every time, the finger of P-GW address informations is initiated to fixed network Show installation or delete operation.
In converged network (next step evolvement network), PCRF and BNG direct interfaces, be then at this time PCRF and BNG it Between interface on initiate gateway control session foundation/modification operation.Information transmission mechanism is same as above.
In addition, as a kind of deformation to the present embodiment, the corresponding operation instruction position 1 in P-GW-1 addresses can also omit, But indicate the operation of BPCF by setting P-GW address informations as special value, for example, by setting P-GW address informations It indicates that fixed network (BPCF and BNG) is installed and used for virtual value (nonzero value), is full zero by the address information for setting P-GW To indicate that fixed network cancels the address information.
Embodiment two
In the present embodiment, in the gateway control session on S9a interfaces, the address letter of P-GW is transferred in the following way Breath:PCRF constructs new QoS rules by P-GW address informations, because QoS rules are either deleted by establishing modification Division operation, therefore can just indicate whether P-GW address informations are effective in fixed network side by the operation of QoS rules, if nothing Effect is just deleted.
PCRF initiates the determination methods of gateway control session foundation/modification/delete operation with embodiment one.
As shown in figure 4, the present embodiment flow is described in detail below:
