Description

Multi-access point connection processing method and device
Technical field
The present invention relates to the communications field, in particular to a kind of multi-access point (Access PointName, referred to as APN) connection processing method and device.
Background technology
Third generation partner program (3rd Generation Partnership Project, referred to as 3GPP) grouping system (the Evolved Packet System of evolution, referred to as EPS) by universal mobile telecommunications system land radio access web (the Evolved Universal Terrestrial Radio Access Network of evolution, referred to as E-UTRAN), mobile management unit (Mobility Management Entity, referred to as MME), gateway (Serving Gateway, referred to as S-GW), grouped data network gateway (Packet Data Network Gateway, referred to as P-GW or PDN GW), home subscriber server (Home Subscriber Server, referred to as HSS), "Policy and Charging Rules Function (Policy and Charging Rules Function, referred to as PCRF) entity and other support nodes composition.
In Fig. 1, MME mobile management unit is responsible for the related work of the chains of command such as the processing of mobile management, Non-Access Stratum signaling and the contextual management of user's mobile management; S-GW is the accessing gateway equipment being connected with E-UTRAN, forwarding data between E-UTRAN and P-GW, and be responsible for the pending datas such as paging to carry out buffer memory; P-GW is the borde gateway of EPS and packet data network (Packet Data Network, referred to as PDN), is responsible for the access of PDN and the function such as forwarding data between EPS and PDN; PCRF is "Policy and Charging Rules Function entity, it is by receiving interface Rx and carrier network agreement (Internet Protocol, referred to as IP) business network is connected, obtain business information, in addition, it is connected with the gateway device in network by Gx/Gxa/Gxc interface, be responsible for initiating the foundation of IP carrying, guarantee the service quality (Quality of Service, referred to as QoS) of business datum, and carry out charging control.
EPS supports the intercommunication with non-3GPP network, and by the intercommunication of S2a/S2b/S2c Interface realization and non-3GPP network.Non-3GPP network comprises the non-3GPP network of trusted and trustless non-3GPP network.The IP access of the non-3GPP network of trusted can be directly by S2a and P-GW interface; The IP access of trustless non-3GPP network need to be passed through ePDG(Evolved Packet Data Gateway, the data gateway of evolution) be connected with P-GW, the interface between ePDG and P-GW is S2b.
Along with development and the demand of user to business of network technology, terminal is multimode gradually, can be chosen in dissimilar access network access, to carry multifarious business.Because connecting, different networks there is different characteristics and transmittability.Multimode terminal can be realized the seamless link between dissimilar radio access network, as honeycomb UMTS(Universal Mobile Telecommunications System, universal mobile telecommunications system)/EDGE(Enhanced Data Rate for GSM Evolution, enhanced data rates for gsm evolution technology)/GPRS(General Packet Radio Service, general packet radio service technology) with IEEE(Institute ofElectrical and Electronics Engineers, IEEE-USA) 802.11 WLAN (wireless local area network) (Wireless Local Area Networks, referred to as WLAN) connection.WLAN can provide very high data rate in family and hot spot region among a small circle, and cellular network can provide higher flexibility and ubiquitous covering, but data rate is lower, if can be in conjunction with both advantages, user will benefit from it.In the coverage of wlan access point, multimode terminal utilizes WLAN to carry out data access and the networking telephone (Voice over Internet Protocol, referred to as VoIP) application, can also use overlapping cellular network simultaneously, carry out audio call or media interviews.
WLAN connecting system (a kind of non-3GPP connecting system) has become the important access way that operator's mobile broadband service is disposed.In 3GPP research on standard field, WLAN can be used as at present non-3GPP access network trusty and has been directly connected to EPC, adopts network mobility management protocol (Network Based Mobility, NBM) standard interface S2a.
On S2a interface, support two kinds of NBM agreements, PMIPv6 and GTP agreement at present.GTP agreement is the mobility management protocol for cell mobile communication systems of 3GPP definition and maintenance, and PMIPv6 is the mobility management protocol that can be used for various communication constructions of ietf definition and maintenance.Proxy mobile IPv 6 agreement (Proxy Mobile IPv6, PMIPv6) be a kind of network mobile IP management agreement, PMIPv6 does not need mobile device to participate in any mobile management work, by network, be responsible for subscriber equipment mobile management, the impact of three layers of connection that bring is moved in not perception of mobile device itself.For mobile node (Mobility Node, MN), no matter where move to, it is own on home link (Home Link) that MN thinks.3GPP is based on the PMIPv6 network architecture and corresponding interface as shown in Figure 2.Key node and the function of PMIPv6 are as follows:
Local mobile anchor (Local Mobility Anchor, LMA): be the home agent (Home Agent) of mobile node, the topological anchor point of the home address of MN, the binding route of management mobile node.Packet data network gateway in 3GPP network (PDN GW) provide LMA function, is responsible for the data retransmission between MNHe Packet Data Network.
Mobile Access Gateway (Mobile Access Gateway, referred to as MAG): the mobile network layer of bringing of switching of shielding changes, and acts on behalf of the work that MN completes Binding Update.In the 3GPP network architecture, corresponding network element gateway Serving GW (S5/8), the non-3GPP IP Access Network Trusted Non-3GPP IP Access (S2a) of trust, evolution packet data gateway ePDG (S2b) provides MAG function.
Between LMA and MAG, by agent binding update messages (Proxy Binding Update, referred to as PBU) and proxy binding acknowledgment messages (Proxy Binding Acknowledgement, referred to as PBA), realize and act on behalf of mobile management.PBU sends to LMA by MAG, and PBA sends to MAG by LMA, two message with message to occurring.MAG by PBU by the home address binding relationship of the agent address of oneself and subscriber equipment MN to LMA, thereby LMA preserves the up-downgoing message that this corresponding relation correct route forwards MN.PBU is mainly used in Binding Update, and the binding cycle upgrades, and cancels binding, and corresponding LMA asks by send PBA message authentication PBU to MAG.
In the wlan network based on IEEE 802.11 agreements, the WLAN interface of mobile terminal node can only configure an IPv4 address, therefore mobile operator can only connect for user sets up single APN grouped data under this scene, cannot support many APN to connect.For above-mentioned restriction, a kind of network strengthen scheme of endless impact can meet the demand, and as shown in Figure 3, as shown in Figure 4, this flow process comprises that step S402 is to step S428 to the flow process of this scheme to scheme framework.
Step S402: mobile node carries out access authentication mandate by MAG and AAA, MAG obtains from AAA the subscriber policy data that mobile node is corresponding, comprise that user allows the APN information of access, in order to identify the IP stream selection information of the various Business Streams relevant with home network.
Step S404:MAG is installed to this locality by the user traffic flow routing policy obtaining in step S402.For example, HTTP message and Internet-APN(LMA-3) associated, SIP message and SIP-APN(LMA-2) associated, other all messages are associated with default APN.When MAG detects while needing associated service message, for LMA corresponding to this service route sets up PMIPv6 tunnel, to complete PMIP binding associated automatically.For example, when MAG detects the HTTP message that terminal sends, can be initiatively to the corresponding LMA-3 of Internet-APN, to carry out PBU/PBA mutual, set up corresponding PMIP tunnel and bind associated.
It is mutual that step S406-step S408:MAG and LMA-1 carry out PBU/PBA, the mobile node of establishment, and default APN is associated with home address HoA-1's, sets up corresponding PMIPv6 tunnel.
Step S410: mobile node is initiated DHCP flow process request address to MAG and distributed ,MAGJiang address HoA-1 to distribute to mobile node.
Step S412: mobile node be take HoA-1 as source address use business.
Step S414-step S420: mobile node is initiated SIP business, MAG identifies the backward P-GW of this service message and initiates the binding relationship that PBU/PBA sets up SIP-APN and HoA-2 alternately, by the SIP message source address transition of receiving, is to forward after HoA-2.
Step S422 is to step S428: the processing of similar SIP business, MAG sets up new PMIP binding relationship to the HTTP business of mobile node, by the HTTP message source address transition of receiving, is HoA-3 address.
Such scheme has solved WLAN access cannot use many APN connectivity problem, but lacks crucial mobility support at present.
