Description

Method and device for processing session connection
Technical Field
The present invention relates to the field of communications technologies, and in particular, to a method and an apparatus for processing session connection.
Background
In a new generation communication system, different Packet Data Unit (PDU) session sessions have different continuity requirements, some PDU sessions require that continuity is always guaranteed when a user equipment UE moves, some PDU sessions can only guarantee continuity in a certain service area, and continuity cannot be maintained when the UE moves out of the service area.
Three continuity modes SSC mode are currently defined for different continuity requirements of a PDU session, namely SSC mode1, SSC mode2 and SSC mode 3. Wherein, the SSC mode1 refers to allocating a user plane IP anchor (may be referred to as IP anchor for short) for a PDU session, and the IP anchor is kept unchanged throughout the lifetime of the PDU session; SSC mode2 means that the IP anchor point allocated for the PDU conversation can only be kept in a certain service area, and when the UE moves out of the service area of the IP anchor point, a new IP anchor point needs to be selected; SSC mode3 means that before the connection of the UE to an IP anchor point is terminated, a new PDU session to the same data network is established, a new IP anchor point is selected for the new PDU session, and the UE can transfer the data flow to the new PDU session and then delete the previous PDU session connection.
These three SSC modes are support for different continuity of PDU sessions. A PDU session with attribute SSC mode1, which can still be maintained when a handover of the UE occurs. A PDU session with attribute SSC mode2, when UE switches to a new Access Network node (RAN for short), if the new RAN and IP anchor can keep connection, the connection of the PDU session can still be guaranteed after switching, if the new RAN and IP anchor can not keep connection, the PDU session will release connection when switching occurs, and when UE switches to a new cell, the PDU session establishment process is restarted, and a new IP anchor is selected for UE. And the PDU session algorithm with the attribute of SSC mode3 is optimized on the basis of SSC mode2, namely the UE can maintain two PDU session connections to different IP anchor points, the UE establishes a new PDU session connection before deleting the PDU session connection and transfers the data flow from the original PDU session connection to the new PDU session connection.
Therefore, when a handover occurs for a UE, different processing is required for PDU sessions of different SSC modes. For example, for a PDU session of SSC mode2, it may be necessary to determine whether the service range of the IP anchor has been moved out before handover; for the PDU session of SSC mode3, it is also necessary to determine whether the service range of the IP anchor is moved out before handover. However, the SSC mode of a PDU session and the properties of the IP anchor of a connection are not known to the current access network node, and different types of PDU sessions cannot be handled differently.

Detailed Description
The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention, and it is obvious that the described embodiments are some, not all, embodiments of the present invention. All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
First embodiment
Referring to fig. 1, a first embodiment of the present invention provides a method for handling session connection, which is applied to a target access network RAN node, and includes the following steps 101 to 102, which are described in detail below.
Step 101: and acquiring anchor point information of at least one PDU session of all established connections from the source side access network node.
In the embodiment of the invention, in the process of switching the UE from the source side RAN node to the target side RAN node, the target side RAN node acquires anchor point information of all PDU sessions which are currently connected with the UE and established from the source side RAN node. The number of all PDU sessions may be one or more. The anchor point information of the PDU session specifically refers to information of a user plane anchor point allocated for the PDU session.
Specifically, the manner in which the target RAN node acquires the anchor point information from the source RAN node may be: firstly, receiving a switching request message sent by a source side RAN node, wherein the switching request message comprises anchor point information of at least one PDU session of which the connection is established currently; then, according to the switching request message, anchor point information of at least one PDU session of all established connections is obtained.
In the embodiment of the present invention, the anchor point information of the PDU session may be identification information of an anchor point, service area identification information of an anchor point, or identification information of an anchor point included in the PDU session identification information, and the like, which is not limited in the present invention.
The anchor point information of the PDU session in the source side RAN node is provided to the source side RAN node by the core network during the setup of the PDU session, and is stored in the context of the corresponding PDU session.
Referring to fig. 2, a flowchart of a PDU session establishment procedure according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown, where the PDU session establishment procedure includes the following steps:
step 21: under the trigger of terminal application, UE sends PDU conversation to establish request message to core network control function main body, the request message at least includes information such as access point APN, service type;
step 22: the core network control function body selects a proper user plane anchor point for the UE to establish PDU session connection according to the PDU session establishment request message, the subscription of the UE, the local configuration and the like;
step 23: the core network control function body initiates a signaling process to establish a PDU session from the UE to the RAN node to the anchor point;
step 24: a core network control function body sends a PDU session establishment response message to UE, wherein the PDU session establishment response message comprises PDU session identification information, QoS (quality of service) information, address information, anchor point identification information and the like; wherein, under the condition that the PDU conversation identification information includes the anchor point identification information, the anchor point identification information is hidden in the PDU conversation identification information, and the transmission is not displayed.
For example, refer to fig. 3, which is a schematic diagram illustrating an encoding structure of PDU session identification information in an embodiment of the present invention. The PDU session identification information is usually distributed by a core network mobility management MM or session management SM functional body, and at least includes control function node identification information, user plane anchor point identification information, and internal identification information. The UE can directly acquire the identification information of the anchor point of the user plane from the PDU conversation identification information according to the prior agreement.
Step 102: and determining whether the target side access network node can serve the PDU session or not according to the anchor point information.
In the embodiment of the present invention, the specific implementation manner of step 102 may be:
firstly, judging whether anchor point information of each PDU session in at least one PDU session is configured in a target side RAN node; then, if it is determined that anchor point information of a PDU session is already configured in the target RAN node, it is determined that the target RAN node can serve the PDU session, or, if it is determined that anchor point information of a PDU session is not configured in the target RAN node, it is determined that the target RAN node cannot serve the PDU session.
That is, the local area of the target RAN node is usually configured with a plurality of anchor point information in advance according to actual conditions. In the UE switching process, after a target side RAN node acquires anchor point information of all current PDU sessions established with connection from a source side RAN node, whether the anchor point information of each PDU session is the same as certain anchor point information in local configuration or not is judged, the corresponding PDU session can be served only under the condition that one anchor point information in the local configuration is the same, the switching process is completed, otherwise, the corresponding PDU session cannot be served, and a response message is sent to the source side RAN node to indicate that the PDU session cannot be switched.
For the way anchor point information is configured in the RAN node, see fig. 4. In fig. 4, the RAN node may be connected to three user plane anchors, i.e., UP GW1, UP GW2, and UP GW3, at which point the operator may configure the following anchor information locally at the RAN node:
identification information of UP GW1, identification information of UP GW2, and identification information of UP GW 3; or
Service area identification information of UP GW1, service area identification information of UP GW2, and service area identification information of UP GW 3.
In this embodiment of the present invention, after step 102, the method for processing session connection further includes:
and sending a switching response message to the source RAN node, wherein the switching response message comprises the PDU session which can be served by the target RAN node and/or the PDU session which cannot be served.
Next, a method for processing session connection according to an embodiment of the present invention is described with reference to fig. 5. In fig. 5, the method comprises the following steps:
step 51: the source side RAN node determines to switch the UE to a target side RAN node according to the measurement report information of the UE and other information (including a switching threshold value configured by the source side RAN node and the like);
step 52: a source side RAN node sends a switching request message to a target side RAN node, wherein the switching request message comprises context information of all PDU sessions which are established and connected by current UE, and the context information comprises anchor point identification information of all PDU sessions;
step 53: the target side RAN node determines whether the PDU session can be admitted or served according to anchor point identification information, service quality information and the like of each PDU session; that is, if the anchor point identification information of a PDU session is the same as one of the anchor point identification information configured locally by the target RAN node, it is determined that the PDU session can be served; if the PDU conversation anchor point identification information is different from any anchor point identification information configured locally, determining that the PDU conversation can be served;
step 54: a target side RAN node sends a switching response message to a source side RAN node, wherein the switching response message comprises PDU sessions which can be served by the target side RAN node and/or PDU sessions which cannot be served;
step 55: the target side RAN node, the source side RAN node and the core network node execute a signaling process to switch the PDU session capable of being served, release the PDU session incapable of being served and reestablish the PDU session incapable of being served if necessary.
Referring to fig. 6A and 6B, connection diagrams of PDU sessions before and after UE handover according to an embodiment of the present invention are shown. In this particular embodiment, the anchor points connectable to the source side RAN node are UP GW1, UP GW2 and UP GW3, and the anchor points connectable to the target side RAN node are UP GW1 and UP GW2, i.e. information about UP GW1 and UP GW2 may be configured in the target side RAN node. Before handover, as shown in fig. 6A, the established PDU session includes PDU session 1 and PDU session 2, the anchor point allocated for PDU session 1 is UP GW1, and the anchor point allocated for PDU session 2 is UP GW 3. Since no information about the UPGW3 is configured in the RAN node on the target side, after handover, as shown in fig. 6B, the connection of PDU session 1 is retained and PDU session 2 is released.
The method for processing session connection according to the first embodiment of the present invention obtains anchor point information of at least one PDU session currently connected from a source RAN node, and determines whether a target RAN node can serve the at least one PDU session according to the anchor point information, so that the RAN node can process different types of PDU sessions in a UE handover process.
