Detailed Description
In order to make those skilled in the art better understand the technical solution of the present invention, the following describes in detail the session line switching method and system provided by the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings.
Fig. 1 is a flowchart of a session line switching method according to an embodiment of the present invention, and as shown in fig. 1, when a terminal performs a session with a session peer end through a first user plane function entity connected correspondingly based on a first network, the session line switching method includes:
and step 11, when the current signal quality of the terminal is lower than a preset quality threshold, the terminal accesses the first network through a non-3GPP interoperation functional entity based on the non-3GPP network.
And step 12, the terminal responds to the access success message returned by the non-3GPP interoperation functional entity and establishes a data connection relation with a second user plane functional entity corresponding to the first network.
And step 13, the terminal sends a session line switching request to a first session management functional entity corresponding to the first network.
And step 14, the first session management functional entity interacts with a second session management functional entity corresponding to the first network according to the session line switching request to complete the switching of the session context.
And step 15, the first user plane functional entity interacts with the second user plane functional entity to complete the switching of the conversation line.
In the method for switching session lines provided in this embodiment, when the terminal currently performs a session with the opposite session terminal through the corresponding connected user plane function entity based on the first network, and the current signal quality of the terminal is lower than the preset quality threshold, the terminal is based on the non-3GPP network, the non-3GPP interworking function entity is accessed to a first network, and establishes a data connection relation with a second user plane function entity corresponding to the first network, and through the first session management function entity and the second session management function entity of the first network, the second user plane function entity of the first network replaces the first user plane function entity of the first network to carry the session, and complete the switching of the session line, and then, the terminal can perform data interaction with the second user plane functional entity through the non-3GPP network to realize the session with the opposite terminal of the session, thereby improving the user experience.
Fig. 2 is a flowchart of a session line switching method according to a second embodiment of the present invention, and as shown in fig. 2, when a terminal performs a session with a session peer end through a first user plane function entity connected correspondingly based on a first network, the session line switching method includes:
and 21, the terminal detects whether the current signal quality of the terminal is lower than a preset quality threshold, if so, the step 22 is executed, and otherwise, the process is ended.
In this embodiment, when a terminal (User Equipment, abbreviated as UE) performs a session with a session peer through a first User Plane Function (UPF) connected correspondingly based on a first network, the terminal (UE) detects whether the current signal quality of the terminal is lower than a preset quality threshold, if so, executes step 22, otherwise, ends the procedure. The current signal quality of the terminal may also be referred to as the signal quality of the current session or the signal quality of the currently accessed first network, or the current wireless signal quality. The first network may be a mobile communication network, such as a 5G network, a 4G network, or a 3G network. Preferably, the first network is a 5G network.
In this embodiment, the terminal may detect whether the current signal quality of the terminal is lower than the preset quality threshold through the network, and when the current signal quality of the terminal is detected to be lower than the preset quality threshold, it indicates that the current signal quality of the terminal is lower than the minimum requirement for maintaining a normal session, and a situation that a session between the terminal and the opposite terminal is interrupted by sound or disconnected by the session may occur, so that step 22 and subsequent steps are executed to perform session line switching, thereby ensuring smooth session of the terminal. And when the current signal quality of the terminal is detected to be higher than or equal to the preset quality threshold, the current signal quality of the terminal can maintain the normal conversation with the opposite end of the conversation, so the process is ended. The preset quality threshold is specifically determined according to the minimum requirement for actually maintaining a normal session, which is not limited in this embodiment.
In this embodiment, the session may be an audio call, a video call, or the like.
And step 22, the terminal accesses the first network through the non-3GPP interoperation functional entity based on the non-3GPP network.
In this embodiment, the non-third Generation Partnership Project (3rd Generation Partnership Project, 3GPP) Network may be a Wireless Network (Wireless Network), such as Wireless broadband (Wifi) or Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access (WiMAX). Preferably, the non-3GPP network is a Wifi network.
It should be noted that, when it is detected that the current signal quality of the terminal is lower than the preset quality threshold, if the terminal has no available non-3GPP network connection, the procedure is ended.
Specifically, step 22 includes:
step 221, the terminal sends a first network access request to the non-3GPP interworking function entity based on the non-3GPP network, where the first network access request includes a terminal identifier and a user hidden identifier of the terminal.
In this embodiment, when the terminal detects that the current signal quality of the terminal is lower than a preset quality threshold, a first network access request is sent to a Non-3GPP InterWorking Function (N3IWF) based on a Non-3GPP network to request to access a core network of a first network (e.g., a 5G network) through the Non-3GPP network, where the first network access request includes a terminal identifier and a hidden user identifier of the terminal.
The terminal Identifier of the terminal may be a 5G Temporary Mobile Subscriber Identifier (TMSI) of the terminal, and the user hidden Identifier may be a hidden Identifier of the terminal(Subscription qualified Identifier: SUCI) is preset secret key KAMF1Signature encryption of ciphertext (SUPI) of user Permanent Identifier (SUCI) can be understood as being K-passAMF1Encrypted SUPI, KAMF1A key generated in advance by a first Access and Mobility Management Function (AMF) entity corresponding to a first network currently providing services for a terminal.
Step 222, the non-3GPP interworking function entity sends a terminal authentication request to the unified data management entity, where the terminal authentication request includes a terminal identifier of the terminal and a user hidden identifier.
Step 223, the unified data management entity sends the user hidden identifier to the first access and mobility management function entity corresponding to the terminal identifier according to the terminal identifier of the terminal.
Specifically, a Unified Data Management entity (UDM) extracts an identifier of a first access and mobility Management function entity (AMF) according to information in a terminal identifier (such as 5G-TMSI) of a terminal, and sends the information to the first access and mobility Management function entity (AMF) corresponding to the identifierAMF1The signed user hides the identity (SUCI).
And 224, the first access and mobility management functional entity verifies the signature of the user hidden identifier and returns the verification result to the unified data management entity.
And step 225, when the verification result is that the authentication is passed, the unified data management entity returns authentication success information to the non-3GPP interoperation functional entity.
Step 226, the non-3GPP interworking function entity responds to the authentication success information returned by the unified data management entity, and interacts with the second access and mobility management function entity, the second session management function entity and the second user plane function entity corresponding to the first network, so that the terminal accesses the first network.
In this embodiment, in the access process, the non-3GPP interworking function entity selects a second access and mobility management function entity (AMF) for the terminal to access, the second access and mobility management function entity (AMF) allocates a second session management function entity (SMF) to the terminal, and the second session management function entity (SMF) allocates a second user plane function entity (UPF) to the terminal.
Step 227, the non-3GPP interworking function entity returns an access success message to the terminal.
The access success message may include information of a second access and mobility management functional entity in the first network selected to be accessed by the non-3GPP interworking functional entity, a second session management functional entity allocated by the second access and mobility management functional entity, and a second user plane functional entity allocated by the second session management functional entity.
To this end, the terminal has successfully accessed the first network through the non-3GPP network.
And step 23, the terminal responds to the access success message returned by the non-3GPP interoperation functional entity, and establishes a data connection relation with a second user plane functional entity corresponding to the first network.
Specifically, the terminal (UE) responds to an access success message returned by the non-3GPP interworking function entity (N3IWF), and interacts with a second user plane function entity (UPF) corresponding to the first network based on the non-3GPP network (e.g., Wifi), so as to establish a data connection relationship.
And step 24, the terminal sends a session line switching request to the first session management functional entity corresponding to the first network.
In this embodiment, a terminal (UE) sends a Session Management Function (SMF) request to a first SMF corresponding to a first network, where the Session Management Function request includes a pre-acquired entry address of a second SMF corresponding to the first network. Specifically, after accessing a first network (e.g. a 5G network) through a non-3GPP network, the terminal (UE) may obtain an entry address of a second session management function entity (SMF) through an access success message returned by the non-3GPP interworking function entity (N3 IWF).
And step 25, the first session management functional entity interacts with a second session management functional entity corresponding to the first network according to the session line switching request to complete the switching of the session context.
Specifically, step 25 includes: and the first session management functional entity interacts with the second session management functional entity corresponding to the entry address according to the entry address to complete the switching of the session context.
Specifically, a first session management function entity (SMF) sends context information to a second session management function entity (SMF), wherein the context information comprises a connection relation parameter between a first user plane function entity (UPF) and a session opposite terminal. When the first session management function entity (SMF) sends the context information to the second session management function entity (SMF), the first session management function entity (SMF) negotiates with the second session management function entity (SMF) to decide whether the first user plane function entity (UPF) actively initiates the connection to the second user plane function entity (UPF) or the second user plane function entity (UPF) actively initiates the connection to the first user plane function entity (UPF).
After the negotiation is finished, if the negotiation result is that the first user plane functional entity (UPF) actively initiates connection to the second user plane functional entity (UPF), the first session management functional entity (SMF) sends the negotiation result to the first user plane functional entity (UPF), triggers the first user plane functional entity (UPF) to actively initiate connection to the second user plane functional entity (UPF), and meanwhile, the second user plane functional entity (UPF) creates a Uniform Resource Locator (URL) and waits for the first user plane functional entity (UPF) to connect; if the negotiation result is that the second user plane function entity (UPF) actively initiates connection to the first user plane function entity (UPF), the second session management function entity (SMF) sends the negotiation result to the second user plane function entity (UPF), triggers the second user plane function entity (UPF) to actively initiate connection to the first user plane function entity (UPF), and simultaneously, the first user plane function entity (UPF) creates a Uniform Resource Locator (URL) and waits for the second user plane function entity (UPF) to connect.
And 26, interacting the first user plane functional entity and the second user plane functional entity to complete the switching of the conversation line.
Specifically, in response to a negotiation result of the first session management function entity (SMF) and the second session management function entity (SMF), the first user plane function entity (UPF) and the second user plane function entity (UPF) interact with each other to establish a data connection relationship, and complete session line switching.
Since the execution of steps 25 and 26 requires a certain procedure, during which the terminal (UE) and the session peer still need to perform data (e.g. audio data, video data) interaction through the first user plane function entity (UPF) when performing a session, the data may not be correctly delivered to the terminal and/or the session peer due to the ongoing data handover between the first user plane function entity (UPF) and the second user plane function entity (UPF), and at this time, the first user plane function entity (UPF) needs to buffer the data locally. After the first user plane functional entity (UPF) and the second user plane functional entity (UPF) establish a data connection relationship, the first user plane functional entity (UPF) can forward the data to the second user plane functional entity (UPF), and then the second user plane functional entity (UPF) forwards the data to the terminal and/or the opposite session end, and then the session between the terminal and the opposite session end is carried by the second user plane functional entity (UPF), thereby completing the session line switching.
In this embodiment, after forwarding all data to the second user plane functional entity (UPF), the first user plane functional entity (UPF) disconnects the data connection relationship with the second user plane functional entity (UPF).
In this embodiment, a data connection relationship is established between a terminal (UE) and a second user plane functional entity (UPF), a session context is switched between the first session management functional entity (SMF) and the second session management functional entity (SMF), the first user plane functional entity (UPF) and the second user plane functional entity (UPF) perform interaction and forward cached session data, indicating that a session line is switched, the terminal (UE) may interact with the second user plane functional entity (UPF) through a non-3GPP network, and send the session data to the second user plane functional entity (UPF), the second user plane functional entity (UPF) then sends the session data from the terminal to a session peer, and the session peer may also send the session data to the terminal through the second user plane functional entity (UPF), thereby implementing a session between the terminal and the session peer.
It can be understood that, before the session line is switched, the terminal (UE) performs a session with the opposite session end through a first User Plane Function (UPF) corresponding to the connection based on a first network (e.g. a mobile communication network); and) after the session line is switched, the terminal (UE) performs data interaction through the second user plane functional entity (UPF) connected correspondingly based on the non-3GPP network (e.g., Wifi), and the second user plane functional entity (UPF) performs data interaction with the opposite session terminal, so as to implement the session between the terminal (UE) and the opposite session terminal until the terminal is disconnected from the non-3GPP network.
In this embodiment, the capability of the first network (e.g. 5G network) to allow the non-3GPP entity (e.g. non-3GPP interworking function entity) to access may be utilized, when the terminal detects that the signal quality of the first network (e.g. mobile communication network) where the terminal is currently located is not good, and when the terminal currently has an available non-3GPP network to be connectable, the terminal triggers to switch the session line of the terminal based on the first network to the session line based on the non-3GPP network, so as to implement the session line switching of the terminal in the session.
In an application scenario, because signal quality coverage of mobile communication networks in places such as shopping malls and office buildings is usually poor, or because users in the places such as the commercial buildings are dense, a situation that a plurality of terminals contend for wireless link resources at the same time occurs, so that part of users cannot obtain good service experience. However, usually, many commercial buildings are provided with a free wireless network (Wifi), when a terminal is in the commercial building and performs a session based on a mobile communication network, the current signal quality is not good, and the terminal is connected to the wireless network (Wifi) provided by the commercial building, the session line switching method provided by the embodiment can be used to implement switching of the session line of the current session of the terminal, thereby ensuring the session quality of the session of the terminal and improving the user experience.
In the method for switching session lines provided in this embodiment, when the terminal currently performs a session with the opposite session terminal through the corresponding connected user plane function entity based on the first network, and the current signal quality of the terminal is lower than the preset quality threshold, the terminal is based on the non-3GPP network, the non-3GPP interworking function entity is accessed to a first network, and establishes a data connection relation with a second user plane function entity corresponding to the first network, and through the first session management function entity and the second session management function entity of the first network, the second user plane function entity of the first network replaces the first user plane function entity of the first network to carry the session, and complete the switching of the session line, and then, the terminal can perform data interaction with the second user plane functional entity through the non-3GPP network to realize the session with the opposite terminal of the session, thereby improving the user experience.
Fig. 3 is a flowchart of a session line switching method according to a third embodiment of the present invention, where in this embodiment, a signal quality of a terminal (UE) is poor, and is usually caused by that a radio signal quality of a current location is not good, or may be caused by that multiple terminals in the current location contend for radio link resources at the same time. Therefore, in order to indirectly improve the network service (session) quality of other terminals at the current location, the radio link resource of the terminal having completed the session line switching can be released, so that the network service (session) quality of other terminals can be indirectly improved. The present embodiment is different from the second embodiment in that: in this embodiment, as shown in fig. 3, after step 26, the method further includes:
and 27, the first session management functional entity sends the message that the session line is switched to the first access and mobility management functional entity corresponding to the first network.
Step 28, the first access and mobility management functional entity sends a command for releasing the radio link resource to the base station to which the terminal is currently connected according to the switched session line message.
In this embodiment, the first access and mobility management function entity (AMF) sends a release radio link resource command to the base station to which the terminal is currently connected according to the session leg switched message, so as to command the base station to release the radio link resource of the terminal (UE) that has completed the session leg switch.
In this embodiment, the base station may be a 5G base station (5G Node B, abbreviated as gNB).
And step 29, the base station interacts with the terminal according to the command of releasing the wireless link resource so as to release the wireless link resource of the terminal.
In this embodiment, the base station interacts with the terminal according to the command for releasing the radio link resource to release the radio link resource of the terminal, so as to disconnect the connection relationship between the terminal (UE) and the first user plane function entity (UPF) based on the first network.
In addition, for other specific descriptions of this embodiment, reference may be made to the description of the second embodiment, which is not repeated herein.
In the method for switching session lines provided in this embodiment, when the terminal currently performs a session with the opposite session terminal through the corresponding connected user plane function entity based on the first network, and the current signal quality of the terminal is lower than the preset quality threshold, the terminal is based on the non-3GPP network, the non-3GPP interworking function entity is accessed to a first network, and establishes a data connection relation with a second user plane function entity corresponding to the first network, and through the first session management function entity and the second session management function entity of the first network, the second user plane function entity of the first network replaces the first user plane function entity of the first network to carry the session, and complete the switching of the session line, and then, the terminal can perform data interaction with the second user plane functional entity through the non-3GPP network to realize the session with the opposite terminal of the session, thereby improving the user experience.
