The information indication method of the invention comprises the following steps: sending indication information to the radio access network RAN, the indication information indicating whether the protocol data unit PDU session is a fully continuous PDU session or a partially continuous PDU session.

Description

Information indication method and device
Technical Field
The present invention relates to the field of communications technologies, and in particular, to an information indicating method and apparatus.
Background
The NextGen (next generation) system places a need for PDU sessions (Protocol Data units) to support multiple continuities. For this, three consecutive patterns SSC mode are defined in the current TR: SSC mode1 (first continuity mode), SSC mode2 (second continuity mode), SSC mode3 (third continuity mode).
Wherein, the SSC mode1 means that a user plane IP anchor point is allocated to the PDU session, and the user plane IP anchor point is kept unchanged in the survival period of the whole PDU session. The SSC mode2 means that the User plane IP anchor allocated to the PDU session can only be maintained in a certain service area, and when a UE (User Equipment) moves out of the service area of the User plane IP anchor, the UE needs to select a new User plane IP anchor. SSC mode3 means that a user plane IP anchor has been selected for this PDU session and a PDU session to the data network is established. Before the connection of the UE to the user plane IP anchor point is terminated, a new PDU session to the same data network is established, and a new user plane IP anchor point is selected for the new PDU session. The UE may transfer the data flow to a new PDU session and then delete the previous PDU session connection.
The above three SSC modes are support for different continuity of PDU sessions. The PDU session with attribute SSCmode 1 can still be maintained when the UE is handed over. When the UE switches to a new RAN (radio access network), if the new RAN and the user plane IP anchor can maintain connection, the PDU session with the attribute of SSC mode2 can still be guaranteed after the switching. If the new RAN and the user plane IP anchor point can not keep connection, the PDU conversation can release connection when switching occurs, and the establishment process of the PDU conversation is restarted after the UE is switched to a new cell, so that a new user plane IP anchor point is selected for the UE. While in the PDU session of SSC mode3 the UE can maintain two PDU session connections to different user plane IP anchors. The UE establishes a new PDU session connection before deleting the existing PDU session connection, and then transfers the data stream from the original PDU session connection to the new PDU session connection.
When a handover occurs for a UE, different processing is required for PDU sessions with different SSC modes. However, according to the prior art, the RAN cannot determine which mode the PDU session belongs to, and therefore cannot determine a new user plane IP anchor point for the UE when the UE is handed over, so that the UE cannot transmit data.

Detailed Description
The following detailed description of embodiments of the present invention will be made with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. The following examples are intended to illustrate the invention but are not intended to limit the scope of the invention.
Example one
As shown in fig. 1, an information indication method according to a first embodiment of the present invention is applied to a core network control plane function entity, and includes:
step 101, sending indication information to the RAN, wherein the indication information is used for indicating whether the PDU session is a completely continuous PDU session or a partially continuous PDU session.
Wherein the completely continuous PDU session means that the PDU session has continuity when the user equipment moves among all RANs; the partial continuous PDU session means that when the user equipment moves in the service range of the current user plane IP anchor point, the protocol data unit PDU session connected to the current user plane IP anchor point has continuity; the PDU session has no continuity when the user equipment moves out of service range of the current user plane IP anchor.
In the embodiment of the present invention, the core network control plane function entity is mainly used for session management, and the like. The current user plane IP anchor refers to a user plane IP anchor that serves the current PDU session of the user equipment. In practical applications, the current user plane IP anchor may have a connection relationship with multiple RANs, and then these RANs form the service scope of the current user plane IP anchor. That is, the RANs having connection relation with the current user plane IP anchor are all located within the service range of the current user plane IP anchor. And when the UE moves out of the RAN located in the service range of the IP anchor point of the current user plane, the UE can be considered to move out of the service range of the IP anchor point of the current user plane.
As described in the background, the PDU sessions of SSC mode1 (first continuity mode) can be considered to be completely continuous, and the PDU sessions of SSC mode2 (second continuity mode), SSC mode3 (third continuity mode) can be considered to be partially continuous.
In the embodiment of the present invention, the indication information may be a customized new indication information, or may also be represented by an SSC mode.
For example, the indication information is a new indication information. For example, the indication information may be a flag. When the PDU session is a completely continuous PDU session, the value of the indication information is a first preset value; and when the PDU session is a partial continuous PDU session, the value of the indication information is a second preset value. The first preset value may be 0, and the second preset value may be 1. And vice versa. That is, in this case, the core network control plane function entity indicates to the RAN whether the PDU session is fully or partially continuous.
For another example, when the PDU session is a partially continuous PDU session, the value of the indication information is a second preset value. The second preset value may be 0 or 1, or may also be other identifiers. That is, in this case, the core network control plane function entity indicates to the RAN only if the PDU session is partially continuous.
As another example, the indication information may be represented using an SSC mode.
Specifically, when the PDU session is a completely continuous PDU session, the indication information is SSC mode 1; when the PDU session is a partially continuous PDU session, the indication information is SSC mode2 and/or SSC mode 3.
Then, when the RAN receives the SSC mode1, the PDU session is considered to have continuity as it moves between all RANs; upon receipt of mode2 and/or SSC mode3, the RAN then considers that the PDU session has continuity when the UE moves within service range of the current user plane IP anchor; and when the user equipment moves out of the service range of the current user plane IP anchor point, the PDU session has no continuity.
In fact, any form of indication information may be used here, as long as the core network control plane function entity and the RAN have a good agreement.
As can be seen from the above, in the embodiment of the present invention, by sending, to the RAN, the indication information indicating whether the protocol data unit PDU session is a completely continuous PDU session or a partially continuous PDU session, the RAN side can perform corresponding handover processing according to the indication information when performing handover of the user equipment, thereby ensuring reliability of data transmission.
Example two
As shown in fig. 2, the information indication method according to the second embodiment of the present invention is applied to a core network control plane function entity, and includes:
step 201, a core network control plane function entity sends a PDU session establishment request to the RAN, where the PDU session establishment request includes indication information.
In this embodiment, when establishing a session connection to the RAN, the indication information is carried in the context of a core network control plane function entity PDU session.
Specifically, the core network control plane function entity sends a PDU session establishment request to the RAN, and notifies the RAN side of establishing PDU session connection. The request includes PDU session context information, a tunnel identifier established for the PDU session, QoS (Quality of service) information, and the like. If the user plane IP anchor of this PDU session is a local user plane IP anchor, i.e. this user plane IP anchor has a connection only to part of the RAN, then the indication information is also carried in the request.
The meaning of the indication information can refer to the description of the first embodiment.
Step 202, the core network control plane function entity receives a PDU session establishment completion message sent by the RAN.
Specifically, the RAN stores the context information and the indication information of the PDU session, and returns a PDU session establishment completion message to the core network control plane functional entity. Correspondingly, the core network control plane functional entity receives the PDU session establishment completion message.
As can be seen from the above, in the embodiment of the present invention, by sending, to the RAN, the indication information indicating whether the protocol data unit PDU session is a completely continuous PDU session or a partially continuous PDU session, the RAN side can perform corresponding handover processing according to the indication information when performing handover of the user equipment, thereby ensuring reliability of data transmission.
EXAMPLE III
As shown in fig. 3, the information indication method according to the third embodiment of the present invention is applied to a core network control plane function entity, and includes:
step 301, selecting a local user plane IP anchor for the PDU session.
Specifically, in this process, the core network control plane function entity receives a PDU session establishment request message of the RAN, and selects a local user plane IP anchor point for the PDU session according to the PDU session establishment request message.
Specifically, in practical application, the core network control plane function entity may select a local user plane IP anchor for the PDU session in different manners.
In the first mode, the core network control plane functional entity determines to select a local user plane IP anchor point for the PDU session according to the current position of the UE, the continuity mode of the PDU session and other information, and then obtains the IP address of the local user plane IP anchor point from the DNS server. The DNS server selects a local user plane IP anchor point for the PDU conversation and returns the IP address of the local user plane IP anchor point allocated for the PDU conversation to the core network control plane functional entity.
As shown in fig. 4, this method includes the following processes:
step 401, the core network control plane functional entity determines to select a local user plane IP anchor point for the PDU session according to the current location of the UE, the continuity mode of the PDU session, and other information.
Step 402, the core network control plane function entity sends a DNS query message to the DNS server.
The DNS query message comprises indication information for acquiring the IP address of the local user plane IP anchor, and the indication information for acquiring the IP address of the local user plane IP anchor is used for indicating the DNS server to select the IP address of the local user plane IP anchor. The indication information for acquiring the IP address of the local user plane IP anchor is second continuity mode information (SSC mode2) or third continuity mode information (SSC mode 3).
In addition, the DNS query message also includes a data network Name of the PDU session connection, such as an APN (access point Name), current location information of the UE, and the like.
Step 403, the core network control plane function entity receives a DNS response message sent by the DNS server, where the DNS response message includes an IP address of the local user plane IP anchor selected by the DNS server.
And secondly, the core network control plane functional entity acquires the IP address of the local user plane IP anchor point of the PDU session through a DNS query request. The DNS server returns the IP address of the local user plane IP anchor point to the core network control plane functional entity, and if the DNS server selects the local user plane IP anchor point for the PDU session, information indicating that the IP address is the IP address of the local user plane IP anchor point is added in the returned DNS message.
As shown in fig. 5, this method includes the following processes:
step 501, the core network control plane function entity sends a DNS query message to a DNS server, where the DNS query message includes SSC mode information, and the SSC mode information includes second continuity mode information (SSC mode2) or third continuity mode information (SSC mode 3).
In addition, the DNS query message also includes a data network name of the PDU session connection, such as an APN, current location information of the UE, and the like.
Step 502, a core network control plane function entity receives a DNS response message sent by the DNS server, where the DNS response message includes an IP address and information indicating that the IP address is an IP address of a local user plane IP anchor.
Specifically, the DNS server selects a local user plane IP anchor for the PDU session according to the information in the DNS query request, and returns the IP address of the user plane IP anchor and information indicating that the IP address is the IP address of the local user plane IP anchor.
Step 302, sending indication information to the RAN, wherein the indication information is used for indicating whether the PDU session is a completely continuous PDU session or a partially continuous PDU session.
The implementation process of this step can refer to the description of the second embodiment.
