Description

Session association method, device, gateway, business side access device and server
Technical field
The present invention relates to the communications field, relate in particular to a kind of session association method, device, gateway, business side access device and server.
Background technology
For the service of differentiation is provided to user, in network, introduce policy control and charging (PCC) framework, PCC has mainly defined policy control and function is controlled in the charging based on stream, has the management and control ability based on a plurality of dimensions such as business, user, accumulation use traffic, position/time, access styles and draws together the management and control means such as end-to-end priority setting (QoS), Flow Control, gate and differentiated charging.
The basic procedure that existing PCC controls as shown in Figure 1, first, networked users carry out business by strategy and charge execution function (PCEF) login to service server, service server is received after business request information, will and policy agent (PA) carry out the information interaction of business aspect, PA is issued to strategy and charging rule functions (PCRF) by service message, further, PCRF is used the business information from PA, in conjunction with obtaining user's strategy and billing control and subscription information from SPR and from the user profile of the Gx interface of PCEF, generate control strategy and be issued to PCEF, PCEF carries out the strategy of this business-level, thereby realize the tactful management and control to user.
Main interface in PCC has:
1.Rx, Rx is the reference point between policy agent (PA) and PCRF, for transmitting business and the session information (as IP address) from PA to PCRF, PCRF carries out strategic decision-making according to information such as business.
2.Gx, Gx is the reference point between PCEF and PCRF, by this interface, can realize the foundation of IP-CAN session connection and maintain; From PCEF to PCRF, initiate PCC decision requests; PCRF dynamically controls the functions such as PCC behavior on PCEF.Wherein, during session establishment request, the information that PCEF transmits to PCRF comprises the information such as private network IP, IMSI, MSISDN, and these information can be used as user ID.
In PCC framework, user reaches the standard grade and can between PCEF and PCRF, set up Gx session, when user's access service, sets up Rx session and business information is passed to PCRF between policy agent (PA) and PCRF.Only have same user's Gx session and Rx session association on same PCRF, this PCRF could produce the management and control strategy that is applicable to this user, otherwise PCRF can not synthetic user information, CAMEL-Subscription-Information, business information generation strategy, and PCC management and control flow process cannot complete.
Due to PCRF signaling processing ability and capacity limit, at existing network, exist a province to dispose the scene of many cover PCRF, may cause like this user's Gx session may be associated on different PCRF from Rx session, as shown in Figure 2, cause and can not generate strategy for user according to business information, thereby can not reach the object of contract network and business.
The key that solves above-mentioned PCC session association problem is on Gx interface and Rx interface, and PCEF and P-CSCF can find same PCRF by effective addressing mechanism.
In the standard of existing 3GPP, the addressing of regulation based on IP address can adopt DRA equipment to realize, and on Gx interface and Rx interface, passes through with a pair of DRA equipment, realizes same user's PCC session association.In existing network, IPv4 address resource is very nervous, can not be that each excited users distributes a public network address, and therefore existing situation is to be that each excited users distributes a private net address, transmits after converting public network address to by PCEF fire compartment wall NAT.Generally, between the IP address field that different PCEF distribute, there is repetition.Therefore IP address-based addressing scheme can face the problem that repeat user private network IP address, this problem causes on Rx interface, can not be unique by user's private network IP address find the associated PCRF of this user Gx session, Rx session and Gx session cannot be bound, correctly generation strategy.
This is described as follows for example.
Shown in Fig. 3, suppose that the private network IP address section that PCEF1 distributes to user is 10.0.0.50-10.0.0.100, the private network IP address section that PCEF2 distributes to user is 10.0.0.70-10.0.0.120, and 10.0.0.70-10.0.0.100 is overlapped address field.
As shown in Figure 3, UE1 and UE2 are respectively at two different PCEF (PCEF1, PCEF2) on, completing PDP activates, the IP address being assigned to is 10.0.0.100, UE1 is registered to PCRF1 by PCEF1, UE2 is registered to PCRF2 by PCEF2, and the routing addressing work of Gx interface, by completing with a pair of DRA equipment, is safeguarded the corresponding relation of UE IP address and PCRF on DRA equipment.
Suppose that UE1 access service generate Rx session by policy agent (PA) on Rx interface, this Rx session need find the PCRF serving into UE1, i.e. PCRF1, otherwise PCRF can not be associated the Gx session of UE1 and Rx session.The private network IP address of UE is carried in Rx session, and DRA equipment, by contrast UE private network IP address, finds the PCRF of this user Gx session registration, and then Rx session is also addressed on this PCRF.
Yet because UE1 in the record of DRA maintenance is used identical private network IP address 10.0.0.100 and corresponding different PCRF from UE2, so DRA equipment cannot be routed to correct PCRF, i.e. PCRF1 by Rx session according to the private network IP address of UE1.
