Description

Communication method and device
The present application is a divisional application of patent applications filed 2016, 19.2. 201610094055.2 entitled "a communication method and apparatus".
Technical Field
The present invention relates to the field of communications technologies, and in particular, to a communication method and apparatus.
Background
While a Mobile communication network supports a conventional Mobile Broadband (MBB) scenario, it also needs to support a new scenario. New scenarios place different demands on the network, e.g. different demands on functions like charging, policy control, security and mobility. Mobile broadband scenarios may require application-dependent charging and policy control, whereas other scenarios may require simpler charging or policy.
To better support different scenarios, it is necessary to isolate the traffic of the different scenarios. For example, a large number of electronic sensor failures cannot affect MBB users. By means of network slicing techniques, a single physical network can be divided into multiple virtual networks, providing optimal support for different services used by different user groups. The definition of network Slice (Slice) is as follows: the network slice consists of three layers: a service instance layer, a network slice instance layer and a resource layer. As shown in fig. 1, the three layers are described as follows: (1) the service instance layer represents the supported service (end user service or business service). Each service instance represents a service. Generally, services may be provided by a network operator or a third party. Thus, a service instance may represent an operator service or a service provided by a third party. (2) The network slice instance provides the service instance with its required network characteristics. Multiple service instances provided by a network operator may share one network slice instance. The network slice instances may include 0, 1, or more subnet instances that may be shared by other network slice instances. A subnet instance consists of a set of network functions that run on top of physical/logical resources. (3) The resource layer comprises physical resources and logical resources. Where the physical resource is a collection of computers, storage and transmission resources (including radio access). A logical resource is a physical resource that is either specifically partitioned for a network function or shared by a group of network functions. Each network slice includes a set of logical network functions that support the communication traffic needs of a particular scenario. The logical function may be a location management function, a handover control function, a session management function, etc. The specific logic functions included in the network slice are different according to the services provided by the network slice, for example, a slice supporting mobile broadband services needs to support the three functions, while a slice supporting internet-of-things services does not need to support a location management function and a handover control function.
Referring to fig. 2, a paging procedure in the prior art is shown, which includes the following specific steps:
step 201, the SGW (serving gateway) receives Downlink Data (Downlink Data) from the PDN GW (PDN gateway), but the SGW does not have Downlink user plane connection of the UE (terminal) (i.e. there is no Downlink user plane TEID in the context Data of the SGW), and the SGW caches the Downlink Data packet;
steps 202a to 202b, the SGW sends a Downlink Data Notification message (Downlink Data Notification) to the MME (mobility management entity), and the MME returns a Downlink Data fourth confirmation message (Downlink Data Notification Ack) to the SGW;
step 203, the MME sends a Paging message (Paging) to each eNB (evolved node B) in a tracking area registered by the UE;
step 204, the eNB pages the ue (paging);
step 205, the UE receives the paging prompt and initiates a Service Request Procedure (Service Request Procedure).
After the service request process is finished, the Data connection is successfully established, and the SGW sends the buffered Downlink Data to the UE (Downlink Data E-UTRN).
Referring to fig. 3, a service request process in the prior art is shown, which includes the following specific steps:
step 301, the UE sends a Service Request message (Service Request) to the MME, where the message is encapsulated in a Radio Resource Control (RRC) message and sent to the eNB;
step 302, the eNB encapsulates the service request message in the initial UE message, and then sends it to the MME.
Step 303, the MME may initiate Authentication/Security (Authentication/Security) procedure;
step 304, the MME sends an initial context establishment request message to the eNB;
step 305, the eNB executes a radio bearer establishment procedure (Initial Context Setup Request);
step 306, the UE may send Uplink Data (Uplink Data) to the SGW through the eNB;
step 307, the eNB sends an Initial Context Setup Complete message (Initial Context Setup Complete) to the MME;
step 308, the MME sends a Modify Bearer Request message (Modify Bearer Request) to the SGW;
step 309, if the radio access type, the UE location or the time zone in which the UE is located changes, the SGW sends a Modify Bearer Request message (Modify Bearer Request) to the PGW, and notifies the PGW of the changed information;
step 310, if the dynamic PCC is deployed, the PGW interacts with the PCRF to obtain a PCC rule (PCEF Initiated IP-CAN Session Modification);
step 311, the PGW sends a Modify Bearer Response message (Modify Bearer Response) to the SGW;
step 312, the SGW returns a Modify Bearer Response message (Modify Bearer Response) to the MME.
According to the existing method, when a network receives a data packet of idle-state UE, the network triggers the UE to enter a connected state through paging operation, and then sends data to the UE. Each network slice behaves as an independent network since each network slice provides a different service to the terminal. When a terminal is connected to multiple network slices, if the terminal is in an idle state, each network slice will perform paging operation when receiving downlink data of the terminal, which may result in a large amount of overhead of air interface resources.

Detailed Description
Exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. While exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure are shown in the drawings, it should be understood that the present disclosure may be embodied in various forms and should not be limited to the embodiments set forth herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided so that this disclosure will be thorough and complete, and will fully convey the scope of the disclosure to those skilled in the art.
Referring to fig. 4, there is shown an architectural diagram of a terminal simultaneously connecting to a plurality of network slices (e.g., a first network slice, a second network slice, … …, an nth network slice), wherein each network slice is connected to an application server, each network slice comprising: the control function provides specific services for users by controlling the user plane function, and the control functions of different network slices may be different because the services provided by different network slices are different. In particular, the control function may support mobility management, session management, or handover control functions, among other functions. The user plane function is mainly responsible for routing the data of the terminal, such as: the user plane function may be a gateway in an existing network.
With continued reference to fig. 4, the first access network and the second access network shown in the figure may be access networks formed using different access technologies (e.g., LTE (Long Term Evolution), WLAN (wireless local area network), etc.), and the access networks may be composed of one or more access devices, such as base stations. In this embodiment, a base station generally refers to a device in a radio Access network that accesses a terminal to the network through a radio interface, for example, an eNB (evolved Node B) in LTE, a wireless network Access device (implementing a function similar to the eNB) in a future 5G network, an AP (Access Point) of WLAN or a TWAG (trusted radio Access gateway), and the like.
Referring to fig. 5, the information management function shown in the figure is used for storing the information of the terminal, wherein the information of the terminal may include: the state information and/or the location information, for example, the state information of the terminal may be in an idle state or a connected state, and if the terminal is in the connected state, the information management function further stores the location information of the terminal, for example, the location information or the identifier of the access device to which the terminal is connected, or the identifier of the cell in which the terminal is located. The information management function may interact with the control function in the network slice and the access device in the access network to obtain the information of the terminal, and the specific connection is as shown in fig. 5. It should be noted that fig. 5 only illustrates the information management function interacting with the control function in one network slice, but it is understood that the information management function may be shared by a plurality of network slices.
First embodiment
Referring to fig. 6, a flow of a communication method is shown, where an execution subject of the communication method may be a control function in a network slice, and the specific steps are as follows:
step 601, the control function obtains the information of the terminal from the information management function, and then proceeds to step 602.
Specifically, in step 601, the control function sends a first request message to the information management function, where the first request message carries an identifier of the terminal; the control function receives a first reply message returned by the information management function, wherein the first reply message carries information of the terminal, and the information of the terminal comprises: the information management function stores state information (connected state) and valid location information when the terminal is in the connected state, for example, the location information may be location information or an identifier of an access device to which the terminal is connected, or an identifier of a cell in which the terminal is located. When the terminal is in an idle state, no valid location information is stored in the information management function, for example, state information (idle state) and a tracking area list of the terminal are stored in the information management function.
Step 602, the control function triggers a connection establishment procedure or a paging operation for the terminal according to the information of the terminal.
Optionally, in step 602, when the terminal is in an idle state, or when the location information of the terminal is a tracking area list, the control function triggers a paging operation for the terminal, or when the terminal is in a connected state, or when the location information of the terminal is information (such as an identifier or an IP address of a base station, etc.) of an access device to which the terminal is connected, the control function sends a connection establishment request message to the access device to which the terminal is connected according to the location information in the information of the terminal, and then instructs the access device to establish a radio bearer for the terminal, where the access device may be a base station, but is not limited thereto.
Referring to fig. 7, a flowchart of a connection establishment procedure or a paging procedure in the first embodiment is shown, and the specific steps are as follows:
step 701, a user plane function in a network slice receives downlink data of a user;
step 702, the user plane function sends a downlink data notification message to the control function;
step 703, the control function sends a first request message to the information management function, where the message carries an identifier of the terminal, such as an IMSI (International Mobile Subscriber identity Number) or another newly defined identifier;
step 704, the information management function returns a first reply message to the control function, where the message carries the information of the terminal.
And according to different information of the terminal carried in the first reply message, the behavior of the control function is different. If the control function determines that the state of the terminal is a connection state, or the control function determines that the received information of the terminal includes valid location information (for example, the location information is an identifier of the access device or a cell identifier), the control function triggers a connection establishment procedure. The subsequent process is as follows: the control function sends a connection establishment request message (for example, an initial context establishment request message in the prior art) to an access device connected to the terminal, requests the access device to establish an air interface connection for the terminal (that is, an air interface is established for the connection established by the terminal in the network slice), and after establishing the air interface for the connection, the access device returns a connection establishment reply message (for example, an initial context establishment completion message in the prior art) to the control function, and the control function sends the information of the access device to the user plane function.
If the control function judges that the terminal is in an idle state or when the position information of the terminal is a tracking area list, the control function triggers paging operation.
It should be noted that, if the current network slice connected to the terminal receives downlink data of the terminal and the terminal enters a connected state in another network slice connected to the terminal, the information management function stores location information of the terminal, for example, information of a base station, and the information management function may send a message to the UE, so that the UE initiates a service request process. Specifically, the control function sends a second request message to the information management function, and the information management function sends a third request message to the terminal to trigger the terminal to initiate a service request process, where the third request message carries information of a network slice where the control function is located.
Referring to fig. 8, which shows a flowchart of initiating a service request to a UE in the first embodiment, in fig. 8, the second reply message in step 804 and the third reply message in step 806 may be acknowledgement messages. The second request message of step 803 may carry information of the network slice (e.g. slice identifier, identifier of control function, service identifier, or APN) where the downlink data is received. If the information management function can deduce from the source IP address of the second request message of step 803 the network slice that sent the message, no parameters may be carried in the second request message of step 803.
The third request message in step 805 carries information of the network slice where the control function is located (or information of the network slice where the downlink data is received), such as a slice identifier, an identifier of the control function, a service identifier, or an APN.
The terminal in step 807 may determine that a connection establishment procedure needs to be initiated to the corresponding control function according to the third request message.
Second embodiment
On the basis of the first embodiment, the following describes a procedure for acquiring terminal information by the information management function. Referring to fig. 9, a process of acquiring terminal information by the information management function is shown, and the specific process is as follows:
step 901, the control function sends a first notification message to the information management function, where the first notification message at least carries an identifier of the terminal.
It should be noted that the first notification message may further include status information, location information, and/or information of a network slice where the control function is located, where the status information may be in a connected state or an idle state; the location information may be information of an access device to which the terminal is connected, a tracking area list, or an identifier of a cell in which the terminal is located; the information of the network slice may be a slice identifier or APN (Access Point Name) or other newly defined identifier.
Step 902, the information management function returns a first acknowledgement message to the control function.
Third embodiment
On the basis of the first embodiment, a process of acquiring terminal information by the information management function is described below. Referring to fig. 10, a process of acquiring terminal information by the information management function is shown, and the specific process is as follows:
step 1001, the control function detects whether the state information of the terminal changes, and when the control function finds that the state information of the terminal changes, the control function sends a second notification message to the information management function.
And the parameters of the second notification message are different according to different states of the terminal. If the terminal enters the connected state, the parameters of the second notification message at least comprise: the identity, state information (e.g., connection state), and/or location information (e.g., base station identity or cell identity) of the terminal, in which case the second notification message may also include information of the network slice in which the control function is located, such as a slice identity or APN. If the terminal enters the idle state, the parameters of the second notification message at least include the identifier and the state information of the terminal (idle state), and at this time, the second notification message may further include information of the network slice where the control function is located, such as a slice identifier or an APN.
Step 1002, the information management function stores the information of the terminal and returns a second confirmation message to the control function.
Fourth embodiment
On the basis of the first embodiment, a procedure in which the information management function acquires the location information is described. When the UE in the connected state moves (for example, the base station to which the UE is connected changes), the control function within the network slice needs to notify the information management function of the information. The specific process is shown in fig. 11.
Step 1101, the control function detects whether the location information has changed, and when the control function finds that the location information has changed (for example, a base station to which the terminal is connected has changed), the control function sends a third notification message to the information management function.
The parameters of the third notification message at least include the identity and location information (e.g. base station identity or cell identity) of the terminal, and in this case, the third notification message may also include information of the network slice in which the control function is located, such as a slice identity or APN.
Step 1102, the information management function updates the information of the terminal and returns a third confirmation message to the control function.
Fifth embodiment
When a terminal enters a connected state in multiple network slices, if information of the terminal changes (for example, a base station to which the terminal is connected changes due to movement of the terminal), the information management function needs to be notified of the changed location information. Since the plurality of network slices can all sense the event, if the network slices all send messages to the information management function, there is a problem of signaling waste. In this embodiment, the information management function may select one of the multiple network slices in the connected state of the terminal, and the control function of the selected network slice needs to report the information of the terminal to the information management function.
Based on the third embodiment, when the control function in the network slice indicates to the information management function that the terminal enters the connected state, and the information management function returns a second acknowledgement message to the control function, optionally, the second acknowledgement message carries indication information indicating whether it is needed to report location information subsequently. If the indication information indicates that reporting is required, the control function in the network slice needs to execute the process of the fourth embodiment; otherwise, the control function within the network slice does not need to perform the process of the fourth embodiment.
For the control function specified by the information management function, if the network slice where the terminal is located in the control function enters the idle state, the information management function needs to determine whether the terminal is in the connected state in another network slice, if so, the information management function selects one of the network slices, and the control function in the network slice reports the information of the terminal, and the specific process is as shown in fig. 12. Otherwise, the information management function does not perform any operation.
Step 1201, the information management function sends a fourth notification message to the control function, which indicates to the control function that the control function needs to report the information (e.g. location information) when the information of the terminal changes.
Step 1202, the control function returns a fourth acknowledgement message to the information management function.
Sixth embodiment
This embodiment describes that a network slice receives downlink data of a terminal, and a control function within the network slice does not receive valid location information from an information management function and performs a procedure of paging a UE.
The scenario in which this process may occur is as follows:
scene 1, the information management function does not store effective position information, that is, the position information of the terminal is not stored or the position information of the terminal stored by the terminal management function is a tracking area list of the terminal, and the terminal is in an idle state in all network slices;
scenario 2 and the information management function store the location information of the terminal, but the base station to which the terminal is connected cannot be connected to the network slice, and for example, there is no connection between the base station and the network slice. The information management function can judge whether a base station connected with the terminal is connected with a certain network slice or not through the configuration information.
Referring to fig. 13, a schematic diagram of paging is shown, which includes the following specific steps:
step 1301, a user plane function in the network slice receives downlink data of a user;
step 1302, the user plane function sends a downlink data notification message to the control function;

in step 1304, the information management function returns a fifth reply message to the control function, where the fifth reply message carries a prompt message indicating to the control function that there is no valid location information, or the fifth reply message carries the status information (idle state) of the terminal, or the fifth reply message carries the location information (tracking area list) of the terminal.
Step 1305, the control function sends a paging message to the access device. The paging message may carry information of the network slice in which the control function is located. The extent to which the control function sends the paging message may be similar to existing mechanisms, i.e. sending the paging message to access devices within all TAs in a TA (Tracking Area) list.
Seventh embodiment
This embodiment describes a process in which a network slice receives downlink data of a terminal, and a control function in the network slice receives location information from an information management function to perform connection establishment. This process occurs in a scenario where the information management function stores location information, e.g. the terminal has entered a connected state within another network slice. If the base station deployed by the operator cannot connect all the network slices, the information management function further needs to further determine whether the access device connected to the terminal is connected to the network slice. The specific process is shown in fig. 14.

step 1402, the user plane function sends a downlink data notification message to the control function;
step 1403, the control function sends a sixth request message to the information management function, where the sixth request message carries an identifier of the terminal, such as an IMSI or another newly defined identifier;
step 1404, the information management function returns a sixth reply message to the control function, where the sixth reply message carries the location information of the terminal, such as information of a base station connected to the terminal or a cell identifier.
Step 1405, the control function sends an initial context setup request message to the base station.
Step 1406, the base station establishes a radio bearer for the UE.
Step 1407, the base station returns the initial context setup complete message to the control function.

step 1504, the information management function returns a DDN acknowledge message to the control function.
Step 1505, the information management function sends a seventh request message to the terminal, where the seventh request message carries information related to the slice, such as the service type, the identifier or IP address of the control function in the slice, or the slice identifier.
Step 1506, the terminal returns a seventh confirmation message to the information management function.
Step 1507, the terminal initiates a service request procedure.
In the above scenario, if the terminal does not enter the connected state in another network slice, the step in the virtual frame is not executed (steps 1505-1507), and in step 1504, the fifth acknowledgement message returned by the information management function to the control function carries a reason or a reason value, which indicates that the terminal does not enter the connected state in another network slice.
