Embodiment
Below in conjunction with the accompanying drawing in the present embodiment, be clearly and completely described the technical scheme in the present embodiment, obviously, described embodiment is only the present invention's part embodiment, instead of whole embodiments.Based on the embodiment in the present invention, those of ordinary skill in the art, not making the every other embodiment obtained under creative work prerequisite, belong to the scope of protection of the invention.
Be illustrated in figure 1 third generation partner program (3rdGenerationPartnershipProject, strategy 3GPP) proposed and charging control (PolicyandChargingControl, PCC) framework, this PCC framework mainly comprises user-subscribed database (SubscriptionProfileRepository, SPR), application function (ApplicationFunction, AF), strategy and charging rule functions unit (PolicyandChargingRulesFunction, PCRF), strategy and charge execution function (PolicyandChargingEnforcementFunction, PCEF), Gateway GPRS Support Node (GatewayGPRSSupportNode, GGSN) i.e. gateway GW, Online Charging System (OnlineChargingSystem, and off-line accounting system (OfflineChargingSystem OCS), the network entity such as OFCS).
Wherein, SPR management and the user/signing relevant information stored needed for all PCRF, may be used for the decision-making of PCRF Constructing Policy, can be independent or integrated with other databases of existing network.
AF provides business information to PCRF, dynamically provides the business information of application layer to it, and PCRF can dynamically generate or revise corresponding PCC rule according to this business information.
PCEF is positioned at GGSN, is used for identification services stream reporting service characteristic to obtain and the control performed based on Business Stream and charging policy to PCRF and from PCRF; Such as, for ensureing the QoS of business and carrying out charging to business data flow, all IP packets that UE sends or all IP packets needs to be received utilize the PCC rule obtained from PCRF through PCEF, PCEF, carry out business data flow filtration to each IP packet.
GGSN mainly plays gateway GW effect, it can be connected with multiple different data network, as integrated services digital network (IntegratedServicesDigitalNetwork, ISDN), PSPDN Packet Switched Public Data Network (PacketSwitchedPublicDataNetwork, and local area network (LAN) (LocalAreaNetwork, LAN) etc. PSPDN).GGSN can carry out protocol conversion the GPRS packet data package in GSM net, thus these packet data package can be sent to TCP/IP network or the X.25 network of far-end.
PCRF is strategy and the charging control strategy decision point of business data flow and IP bearing resource, and the traffic performance that PCRF provides according to AF and SPR and associated user's attribute formulate PCC rule, and are dynamically handed down to PCEF.
OCS/OFCS refers to the charge system participating in communication course control, can solve the problems such as the control of user's real-time credit, pre-payment usage data business and real time charging value added business.
Embodiments provide a kind of method of area reporting, this method is mainly used in Long Term Evolution (LongTermEvolution, in the PCC framework of LTE) network, set up in the process of IP-CAN session at subscriber equipment, in each IP-CAN session establishment process, PCRF in PCC framework will have alternately with MME, the simultaneously process that reports of starting region, thus the executive agent of its interaction flow is PCRF and MME, and at least one monitoring pre-configured reports region PRA list in described MME, each described PRA list has a PRA-ID, the corresponding monitored area of each described PRA list, wherein, cell-id/eNodeB-id/TAI information is preserved in each PRA list, wherein, cell-id refers to the cell ID needing monitoring, eNodeB-id refers to the mark of the base station needing monitoring, tracing area mark (trackingareaidentification, TAI) refers to the mark in the region needing monitoring.All PRA-ID needing monitored area corresponding that subscriber equipment is corresponding are preserved in described PCRF.Wherein, the region of these needs monitoring is divided into routine monitoring region and personalized monitored area, accordingly, is kept at by PRA-ID corresponding for routine monitoring region in the first monitoring list; PRA-ID corresponding for personalized monitored area is kept in the second monitoring list.All subscriber equipmenies are all to the general areas in requisition for monitoring, and thus all subscriber equipmenies are all to there being the first monitoring list; But not all subscriber equipment is all to there being personalized monitored area, and the personalized monitored area of indication is determined according to the demand of user.
As shown in Figure 2, described method comprises:
101: when setting up the IP-CAN session of IP connected reference network for subscriber equipment, MME send PRA-ID corresponding to each PRA list to strategy with charging rule functions unit PCRF.
Because MME can the change in location of real-time perception UE, so in order to realize the monitoring to UE, need in MME to preserve PRA list, and some region all needs to monitor to nearly all subscriber equipment, such as be positioned at Tian An-men of Beijing, thus prewiredly in MME can be equipped with PRA list corresponding to these regions (in literary composition, this kind of region being called general areas) and be handed down to MME again without the need to the PRA list that PCRF generates this subscriber equipment according to the monitoring strategies of subscriber equipment.
In addition, specific to the PRA list of institute's concrete configuration in certain MME, also will according to the physical location configuration PRA list at MME place, such as: although the Tian'anmen Square is the region of a conventional needs monitoring, but the MME that subscriber equipment connects when setting up IP-CAN session is positioned at Daxing District, then the PRA list configured in this MME may not comprise PRA list corresponding to the Tian'anmen Square.
Accordingly, in the specific implementation process of this step, owing to being configured with the one or more PRA lists relevant to subscriber equipment in MME, thus MME is when the related signaling of IP-CAN session is set up in transmission, the PRA-ID of all PRA lists relevant to subscriber equipment is sent to PCRF so that PCRF determines the PRA-ID in the region needing monitoring according to monitoring list, its detailed process sees below literary composition and describes in detail.
The monitoring list that 102:PCRF is corresponding according to the described subscriber equipment of pre-stored, determines at least one target P RA-ID, the corresponding Target monitoring area of each described target P RA-ID.
Wherein, this monitoring list is divided into the first monitoring list and the second monitoring list.This first monitoring list mainly comprises the PRA-ID in all conventional area of needs monitoring, such as: the PRA-ID in the region such as Tian An-men, the Forbidden City, generally speaking also preserves these PRA-ID in MME; The PRA-ID of the personalized monitored area for different user devices is preserved in second monitoring list, and not all subscriber equipment is all to there being this second monitoring list.Such as, the family of certain user is the monitored area that certain user's equipment is corresponding, then preserve the PRA-ID of this monitored area in PCRF.In addition, PCRF is also pre-stored with PRA list corresponding to the PRA-ID that preserves in the second monitoring list.
The PRA-ID preserved in first monitoring list is neutralized the PRA-ID preserved in PRA-ID and the second monitoring list all comprised in all PRA-ID of the MME transmission received and is defined as target P RA-ID by PCRF.This specific implementation process sees below literary composition and describes in detail.
103:PCRF sends at least one target P RA-ID described to MME.
104:MME, according to all described target P RA-ID, monitors the Target monitoring area that whether described subscriber equipment leaves or target approach PRA-ID is corresponding.
Whether MME, as mobile management network element, real-time perception can enter or have left above-mentioned one or more region needing monitoring to UE.Such as: time each UE have changed cell or eNode or TA, MME can perceive, to change cell, when the cell of subscriber equipment access changes, whether the cell after MME judges the cell before changing and changes is arranged in same PRA list, if be arranged in same list, then show that UE is in monitored area corresponding to this list always, if be arranged in different PRA lists, then show that UE have left monitored area corresponding to the PRA list at the cell place before change, the ID of the cell after change and current all lists are compared, obtain the monitored area that UE enters, the monitored area that described UE enters is monitored area corresponding to the PRA list at cell place after change.
105: if described subscriber equipment leaves or enter first object monitored area, MME then send PRA-ID corresponding to described first object monitored area to PCRF, and described first object monitored area is arbitrary target monitored area.
In a kind of implementation of this step, no matter subscriber equipment enters or leaves first object monitored area, by PCRF, the PRA-ID that MME all sends first object region to PCRF determines that subscriber equipment specifically have left certain Target monitoring area and still enters first object monitored area, particularly, because the relation of subscriber equipment and certain Target monitoring area only may for entering (be in Target monitoring area and be still referred to as to enter) or leaving, thus PCRF can determine according to the number of times receiving the PRA-ID that MME sends.According to the negotiation of MME and PCRF, generally PCRF first time is received PRA-ID and be defined as subscriber equipment and enter first object monitored area, then second time receives PRA-ID is that subscriber equipment leaves first object monitored area, the like.
Whether PCRF enters according to subscriber equipment or leaves the positional information that subscriber equipment can be determined in certain Target monitoring area, and then can revise or adjust PCC strategy corresponding to subscriber equipment; Or by the positional information opening of subscriber equipment to third party etc.
The method of the area reporting that the embodiment of the present invention provides, one or more PRA list is provided with in advance in MME, the corresponding monitored area of each PRA list, each PRA list has a PRA-ID, then MME is only determined need the PRA-ID in the region of monitoring and be issued to MME to PCRF transmission PRA-ID by PCRF, carries out subscriber equipment whether enter the monitoring in the region of monitoring and monitoring result is reported to PCRF by MME.With in prior art due to PCRF need to MME issue all PRA lists needing monitored area thus signaling consumption more greatly compared with, the present invention is by pre-configured PRA list in MME, the quantity of the PRA list that PCRF issues to MME can be reduced, and then can signaling consumption be reduced.
As the refinement of method shown in Fig. 2, step 102 " at least one target P RA-ID is determined in the monitoring list that PCRF is corresponding according to the described subscriber equipment of pre-stored ", as shown in Figure 3, specifically comprises:
201: described PCRF monitors corresponding for described subscriber equipment first the PRA-ID all comprised in all PRA-ID of list and reception is defined as target P RA-ID.
Wherein, first of indication the PRA-ID preserving routine monitoring region in list is monitored.
In the specific implementation process of this step, after PCRF have received the PRA-ID of MME transmission, the first monitoring list corresponding according to current user equipment, all PRA-ID and first received are monitored the PRA-ID preserved in list and compares, the common factor choosing both is defined as target P RA-ID.Such as: the PRA-ID that MME sends comprises PRA-ID1 and PRA-ID5, and PCRF obtains the routine area of this subscriber equipment needs monitoring PRA-ID according to monitoring strategies comprises PRA-ID1, PRA-ID3, PRA-ID4 and PRA-ID5, then PRA-ID1 and PRA-ID5 is defined as target P RA-ID.
In addition, comprise except the first monitoring list of PRA-ID corresponding to routine monitoring region except preserving in PCRF, also may preserve PRA-ID and the PRA list that some personalized monitored areas corresponding to subscriber equipment are corresponding, then PRA-ID corresponding for these personalized monitored areas still will be defined as target P RA-ID by described PCRF.Thus, step 102 " at least one target P RA-ID is determined in the monitoring list that PCRF is corresponding according to the described subscriber equipment of pre-stored ", is specially as shown in Figure 4:
301: if preserve the first monitoring list corresponding to described subscriber equipment and the second monitoring list in described PCRF, then the PRA-ID that described PCRF monitors described first in the PRA-ID and described second monitoring list comprised in all PRA-ID of list and reception is defined as target P RA-ID.
Wherein, in described first monitoring list, preserve PRA-ID corresponding to routine monitoring region, in described second monitoring list, preserve PRA-ID corresponding to personalized monitored area.
Accordingly, while PCRF sends at least one target P RA-ID to MME, PCRF also needs to PRA list corresponding to the PRA-ID in MME transmission second monitoring list, and thus step 103 " PCRF sends at least one target P RA-ID described to MME " is specially:
The PRA list that the PRA-ID that 302:PCRF sends at least one target P RA-ID described and described second monitoring list to MME is corresponding.
Supplementing as step 105, judge that the work whether subscriber equipment leaves certain Target monitoring area can be born by MME, be specially, when MME monitor subscriber equipment enter or leave certain Target monitoring area time, the status indicator of the PRA-ID that MME can report this Target monitoring area corresponding to PCRF, described status indicator is for representing that described subscriber equipment leaves or enter described first object monitored area.Such as: the 0 representative of consumer equipment that identifies enters monitored area corresponding to PRA-ID; The 1 representative of consumer equipment that identifies leaves monitored area corresponding to PRA-ID.The status indicator of the PRA-ID that PCRF reports according to MME and this PRA-ID just can obtain subscriber equipment and whether be positioned at region corresponding to this PRA-ID, thus can save the deterministic process of PCRF, reduces the signaling consumption of PCRF, reduces the operating load of PCRF.
In addition, you need to add is that, in the embodiment of the present invention indication any two Target monitoring area between both independently can there is not overlapping region mutually, also can there is the region that partly overlaps.
As the specific implementation of method shown in above-mentioned each figure, the embodiment of the present invention additionally provides a kind of system of area reporting, and as shown in Figure 5, described system comprises mobile management entity MME 401 and tactful and charging rule functions unit PCRF402, wherein,
