A kind of processing method and processing device of PDU session flow unloading branch
Technical field
The present invention relates to fields of communication technology, the in particular to a kind of processing method of PDU session flow unloading branch
And device.
Background technique
3GPP 5G core net is to support flow unloading, in a protocol Data Unit session (Protocol Data
Unit, i.e. PDU session) in specify multiple PDU session anchor points.Wherein SSC (session and service
Continuity) mode 1 is applied only on the PDU session anchor point (i.e. macro anchor point) of centralized services.
In the prior art, to realize flow unloading in a network, additional point of PDU session distribution is proposed
The settling mode of branch specifically defines Uplink classifier UL CL mode (i.e. Uplink classifier) He Duojia
Township's protocol Data Unit conversational mode (i.e. multi-homed PDU session mode).
Wherein, for the mode of UL Classifier, network determines to insert in the data path of a PDU session
Enter a Uplink classifier.The function of Uplink classifier is according to conversation management functional (Session
Management Function, i.e. SMF) provide traffic filter (traffic filtering) information, corresponding Business Stream is unloaded
It is downloaded to the anchor point of local service.
For Multi-homed PDU Session mode, before a PDU session is associated with more than one IPv6
Sew, provides and data network is linked by more than one PDU session anchor point.Branch point (Branching Point) is not
With the branch point in user plane data path, Branching Point provides forwarding uplink data and flows to different IP anchor points, and
The downlink data for merging different IPv6 anchor points flows to user equipment (User Equipment, i.e. UE).SMF can determine insertion and
Delete UPF (the User Plane that Branching Point function is supported on the data path of a PDU session
Function, user-plane function), wherein different IPv6 prefixes identify different UPF.
The either mode of UL Classifier or the mode of multi-homed PDU session, since flow unloads
Carrying corresponding anchor point is a local service anchor point, there is its service range.When UE occurs mobile, the change of the position of UE can
Network can be brought to reselect a new PDU session anchor point.Such as the local PDU of Multi-homed PDU session
The reselection procedure process of session anchor point (SSC mode 3) is as shown in Figure 1, wherein PSA1 indicates the PDU of a local
Session anchor point, PSA2 indicate the new PDU session anchor point after gravity treatment, and specific process flow is as follows:
S1:UE has determined that a local PDU session anchor point 1 (except the macro anchor point of SSC mode 1PDU session
Outer local PDU session anchor point).
S2: when UE occurs mobile, since the service range of previous anchor point is extremely limited, network determines to select again for UE
PDU session anchor point 2.
Branch point Branching Point is arranged to PDU session anchor point 2 in S3:SMF.
S4:SMF specifies new IP address/prefix specified to UE.
S5:UE begins to use new IP address/prefix.
S6: old UE IP address/prefix discharges.
S7:SMF discharges the old branch of PDU session anchor point 1.
S8:SMF discharges Branching Point function.
As it can be seen that in the prior art, the local flow unloading branch of PDU session is without more perfect processor
System, for example when UE is in idle condition down and occurs mobile, constantly replaces local PDU session anchor point and bring a large amount of nets
Network signaling overheads.That is, the prior art for PDU session local flow unloading branch treatment mechanism there are nets
The larger technical problem of network signaling overheads.

When session meets at least one condition in the management strategy, the SMF deletes the PDU session flow unloading
Branch.That is, the SMF can judge whether the PDU session meets according to the following management strategy of acquisition
The preset condition.Specifically, the management strategy includes the Move Mode (Mobility Pattern) based on the UE
Strategy, the strategy of the business use pattern (Usage Pattern) based on the UE, operator formulate PDU session
The strategy, etc. of flow unloading branch.Wherein, the Move Mode of the UE is specially the statistical data mobile according to the UE,
UE subscription information, the mobility for the UE that network local policy etc. determines.For example, the management strategy is the mobile mould as UE
Formula is the mobile user of small range, then the SMF refusal deletes local PDU session flow and unloads branch's anchor point.If UE
It is the user moved on a large scale, for example UE is in high rail mode, then deletes local PDU session flow unloading simultaneously
Branch's anchor point.When detecting that current UE is in high rail mode, the SMF then deletes local according to the management strategy
PDU session flow unloads branch's anchor point.The business use pattern instruction user of UE uses the behavioural habits of network and business.
The management strategy can also be that the SMF according to the business use pattern of user, determines to delete local PDU session flow
Unload branch's anchor point.For example not will use the business of flow unloading in some period according to certain user, then directly entering the free time
Local PDU session flow is deleted when state unloads branch's anchor point.The local PDU session flow of operator unloads branch's anchor
The management strategy of point may be: as long as UE enters Idle state from connected state, SMF should delete all local PDU session stream
Amount unloading branch's anchor point.In the specific implementation process, the management strategy can be one or more of above several strategies
Combination, as long as the PDU session meets one of deletion condition, the SMF just deletes the PDU session stream
Amount unloading branch.Certainly, those skilled in the art can also be accustomed to design the management plan according to the actual use of user
Slightly, it is not limited in the situation of above several strategies, does not just repeat one by one herein.
In the embodiment of the present application, use Uplink classifier UL CL mode to the PDU in the SMF
It is described in order to realize deletion of the SMF to the PDU session flow unloading branch when session carries out flow unloading
Method further include:
When the PDU session meets at least one condition in the management strategy, the SMF is to protocol data list
First session PDU session flow unloads branch's anchor point, and the UL CL, which is sent, deletes the PDU session flow unloading point
The message of branch unloads branch to delete the PDU session flow.With the Move Mode that the management strategy is in the UE
High-speed mobile mode, and using Uplink Classifier mode carry out flow unloading when, then determine to delete the UE's
For PDU session flow unloads branch, specific implementation process is as shown in Figure 3.
Specifically, when UE becomes deactivation status from state of activation with the PDU session of flow unloading branch,
The release message of PDU session flow unloading branch is notified SMF by AMF.SMF is current according to the PDU session's of acquisition
The Move Mode of characteristic such as UE.Further, SMF decides whether that deleting PDU session flow unloads according to the mobility of UE
Carry branch.When determining the Move Mode is high-speed mobile mode, SMF determines to delete the PDU session flow unloading point
Branch, SMF send the deletion instruction for deleting PDU session flow unloading branch to UPF.Specifically, SMF is to UPF
While sending the tunnel instruction where deleting PDU session flow unloading branch, sends and delete SSC mode2PDU
Session flow unloads branch's anchor point (the local PDU session flow i.e. under UL CL implementation unloads branch's anchor point)
Instruction is deleted, and sends the deletion instruction for deleting Uplink Classifier.UPF responds above-mentioned deletion instruction, to corresponding
PDU session flow unloading branch is deleted.Further, network side continues to execute other PDU session flows and unloads
Ramifying is carried just not repeat one by one herein since specific process is compared with technology.
In the embodiment of the present application, when the SMF uses more local protocol Data Unit session Multi-homed PDU
When session mode carries out flow unloading to the PDU session, in order to realize that the SMF flows the PDU session
The deletion of amount unloading branch, the method also includes:
When the PDU session meets at least one condition in the management strategy, the SMF is to protocol data list
First session PDU session flow unloads branch's anchor point, and branch point Branch Point, which is sent, deletes the PDU session stream
The message of amount unloading branch unloads branch to delete the PDU session flow.It is formulated by operator of the management strategy
Once UE deactivation status is become from state of activation, the SMF then determines to delete the PDU session flow unloading of the UE
For branch, specific implementation process is as shown in Figure 4.
Specifically, when operator formulate for PDU session flow unloading branch strategy be once UE from swash
When state living is switched to deactivation status, then SMF deletes PDU session flow and unloads branch.In the specific implementation process, when
When UE becomes deactivation status from state of activation with the PDU session of flow unloading branch, AMF is by PDU session flow
The release message for unloading branch notifies SMF.SMF is formulated according to the current properties such as operator of the PDU session of acquisition
For PDU session flow unloading branch management strategy, SMF decide whether to PDU session flow unload branch into
Row is deleted.When the current properties of PDU session meet the management strategy of operator's formulation, SMF is sent described in deletion to UPF
PDU session flow unloads the deletion instruction of branch.Specifically, SMF is sending the deletion PDU session to UPF
While tunnel where flow unloading branch instructs, sends and delete SSC mode3PDU session flow unloading branch's anchor point
The deletion of (the local PDU session flow i.e. under Multi-homed PDU session implementation unloads branch's anchor point)
Instruction, and send the deletion instruction for deleting branch point Branching Point.UPF responds above-mentioned deletion instruction, to corresponding
PDU session flow unloading branch is deleted.Further, network side continues to execute other PDU session flows and unloads
Ramifying is carried just not repeat one by one herein since specific process is compared with technology.
