Before describing the policy determining method in detail, the implementation environment and application field Jing Jinhang of the embodiment of the present application will be described.

First, an application scenario of the embodiment of the present application will be described. With the development of the mobile internet, users are increasingly inclined to accomplish various things through electronic devices (such as mobile phones, computers, etc.). For example, various application programs (such as office application and game application) are installed in the mobile phone, and the user can complete work through the office application in the mobile phone, or the user can relax the mood through the game application.

Currently, more and more students need to use electronic devices in the learning process. When a user uses an application through the electronic device, the electronic device may send a service data packet to the UPF network element. The UPF network element may then allocate resources for the service. However, students may be entertained during learning with electronic devices due to their weaker homemade strength. Therefore, a strategy of how to allocate resources by the UPF network element is a technical problem to be solved.

At present, policy control and charging (Policy and Charging Control, PCC) is a framework scheme of dynamic policy and charging control defined by the third generation partnership project (3rd Generation Partnership Project,3GPP), which can monitor and reasonably allocate network resources, is convenient for a communication operator to provide differentiated services for users, and provides user service flow bearing resource guarantee and flow charging policy. However, PCC is not able to accurately formulate specific policies for different applications and services.

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, an embodiment of the present application provides a method for determining a policy, where a UPF network element obtains a service data packet and a user type of a target user, where the service data packet includes: a target address, which is an address of a target application. And then, the UPF network element analyzes the service data packet to determine the target address. If the user type of the target user is the target type and the target address exists in the white list, determining first strategy information, wherein the first strategy information is used for indicating that the target application bandwidth is adjusted to be a first bandwidth, and the first bandwidth is larger than a preset bandwidth threshold. If the user type of the target user is the target type and the target address exists in the blacklist, determining second strategy information, wherein the second strategy information is used for indicating that the bandwidth of the target application is adjusted to be a second bandwidth, and the second bandwidth is smaller than a preset bandwidth threshold.

The following describes an implementation environment of an embodiment of the present application.

As shown in fig. 1, a communication system according to an embodiment of the present application includes a network device 101 (e.g., a base station, a network element device (e.g., a UPF network element)), and a terminal 102.

The base station may include various forms of base stations, such as: macro base stations, micro base stations (also referred to as small stations), relay stations, access points, and the like. The method specifically comprises the following steps: an Access Point (AP) in a wireless local area network (Wireless Local Area Network, WLAN), a base station (Base Transceiver Station, BTS) in a global system for mobile communications (Global System for Mobile Communications, GSM) or code division multiple access (Code Division Multiple Access, CDMA), a base station (NodeB, NB) in wideband code division multiple access (Wideband Code Division Multiple Access, WCDMA), an Evolved base station (Evolved Node B, eNB or eNodeB) in LTE, a relay station or access point, or a vehicle device, a wearable device, and a next generation Node B (The Next Generation Node B, gNB) in a future 5G network or a base station in a future Evolved public land mobile network (Public Land Mobile Network, PLMN) network, etc.

The terminal may be a device having a transceiving function. Terminals may be deployed on land, including indoors or outdoors, hand-held or vehicle-mounted; may also be deployed on the surface of water (e.g., a ship, etc.); but may also be deployed in the air (e.g., on aircraft, balloon, satellite, etc.). The terminal includes a handheld device, an in-vehicle device, a wearable device, or a computing device with wireless communication capabilities. The terminal may be a mobile phone, a tablet computer, or a computer with a wireless transceiving function, for example. The terminal device may also be a Virtual Reality (VR) terminal device, an augmented reality (augmented reality, AR) terminal device, a wireless terminal in industrial control, a wireless terminal in unmanned, a wireless terminal in telemedicine, a wireless terminal in smart grid, a wireless terminal in smart city, a wireless terminal in smart home (smart home), etc.

Embodiments of the present application will be specifically described below with reference to the drawings attached to the specification.

As shown in fig. 2, a method for determining a policy according to an embodiment of the present application includes:

s201, the UPF network element acquires a service data packet.

Wherein, the service data packet includes: a target address, which is an address of a target application.

In one possible design, the target address may include: internet protocol (Internet Protocol, IP) addresses and/or uniform resource location system (uniform resource locator, URL) addresses.

For example, if the target application is a social application, the target address may be an IP address of a server of the social application. If the target application is a search engine (e.g., a browser), the target address may be the URL address of a web page accessed by the terminal.

In one possible design, the user information may include: and (5) identification of the terminal.

It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present application, the identifier of the terminal is not limited. For example, the identity of the terminal may be an international mobile equipment identity (International Mobile Equipment Identity, IMEI). As another example, the identity of the terminal may be a media access control (english: media Access Control, MAC) address.

In one possible implementation, the terminal may receive an operation of a user and generate a service data packet. The terminal may then send the service data packet to the UPF network element. The UPF network element may receive service data packets from the terminal.

It should be noted that, specifically, for the process of sending the service data packet to the UPF network element by the terminal, reference may be made to a method of sending the service data packet to the UPF network element by the terminal through the network element device in the conventional technology, which is not described herein.

S202, the UPF network element analyzes the service data packet to determine a target address.

Illustratively, the UPF network element may parse the service data packet at the network layer to obtain an IP protocol. Alternatively, the UPF network element may parse the URL at the application layer of the service packet.

Optionally, the UPF network element parses the service data packet to obtain a transmission protocol.

Illustratively, the transmission protocol may include: file transfer protocol (File Transfer Protocol, FTP), simple file transfer protocol (Trivial File Transfer Protocol, TFTP), hypertext transfer protocol (Hyper Text Transfer Protocol, HTTP), and the like.

S203, the UPF network element acquires the user type of the target user.

In the embodiment of the application, the terminal can determine the target policy of the terminal through a foreground subscription mode. The terminal may send subscription information to a policy control function (Policy Control function, PCF) network element, which may include: target policy and user type of target user. The PCF network element may send the target policy and the user type of the target user to a session management function (Session Management function, SMF) network element. The SMF network element may then send the target policy and the user type of the target user to the UPF network element. The UPF network element may receive the target policy and the user type of the target user from the SMF network element.

In one possible design, the user type may be a student.

Alternatively, the user type may also be a corporate employee.

S204, the UPF network element determines whether the user type of the target user is the target type.

In some embodiments, if the user type of the target user is the target type, the UPF network element performs S205.

It should be noted that, if the user type of the target user is not the target type, the UPF network element may determine the bandwidth policy for the target user according to a conventional technology (e.g., determining the policy of the target user based on PCC).

S205, the UPF network element determines whether a target address exists in the white list.

In the embodiment of the application, the UPF network element stores a white list and a black list, the white list includes addresses of learning applications, and the black list includes addresses of entertainment applications.

Illustratively, the whitelist may include: the IP address of the conference application, the IP address of the reading application, the IP address of the science popularization application, etc. The blacklist may include: an IP address of a video application, an IP address of a game application, etc.

In some embodiments, if the target address is present in the whitelist, the UPF network element performs S206. If the target address exists in the blacklist, the UPF network element performs S207.

S206, the UPF network element determines first policy information.

The first policy information is used for indicating that the target application bandwidth is adjusted to be a first bandwidth, and the first bandwidth is larger than a preset bandwidth threshold.

It should be noted that, the preset bandwidth threshold is not limited in the embodiment of the present application. For example, the preset bandwidth threshold may be 0 megabits/second, 4 megabits/second, 10 megabits/second, etc.

In one possible implementation, if the user type of the target user is the target type and there is a target address in the white list, the UPF network element determines the first policy information.

It can be understood that the UPF network element adjusts the target application bandwidth to the first bandwidth, so that the transmission rate can be improved, further, the terminal can be ensured to smoothly use the target application, and the use experience of the user for using the learning application is improved.

S207, the UPF network element determines second strategy information.

The second policy information is used for indicating that the bandwidth of the target application is adjusted to be a second bandwidth, and the second bandwidth is smaller than a preset bandwidth threshold.

In one possible implementation, if the user type of the target user is the target type and there is a target address in the blacklist, the UPF network element determines the second policy information.

It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present application, the order of executing S204 and S205 by the UPF network element is not limited. For example, the UPF network element may perform S204 first and then S205. For another example, the UPF network element may perform S205 first and then S204. As another example, the UPF network element may perform S204 and S205 simultaneously.

In some embodiments, in the case where the UPF network element performs S205 first and then S204, in the case where the UPF network element determines whether the target address exists in the blacklist, the UPF network element determines whether the user type of the target user is the target type (i.e., S204). In case the UPF network element determines whether a target address is present in the whitelist, the UPF network element may determine the first policy information.

As shown in fig. 3, in the method for determining a policy according to the embodiment of the present application, after S205, the method further includes:

s301, the UPF network element determines the service type of the second service based on the target address.

In an embodiment of the present application, the target application may include a plurality of first services.

It should be noted that the target application may have a plurality of services, such as a learning service (e.g., science popularization service, question and answer service, conference service, etc.), and an entertainment service (e.g., short video service, game service, etc.).

In one possible implementation, the UPF network element stores a correspondence between the destination address and the service type. If the user type of the target user is the target type and the target address exists in the white list, the UPF network element may determine the service type of the second service based on the target address. The second service is a service corresponding to the target address in the plurality of first services.

Illustratively, as shown in table 1, the correspondence between the target address and the traffic type is shown.

TABLE 1

Target address	Service type
		Address a	Learning-class business
Address b	Learning-class business
		Address c	Entertainment service

That is, when the address of the target application is address a, the service type of the service is a learning service. When the address of the target application is the address b, the service type of the service is learning service. When the address of the target application is the address c, the service type of the service is entertainment service.

In one possible design, the server of the target application may send content charging information of the target application to the UPF network element, where the content charging information includes: correspondence between target address and service type. The UPF network element stores the corresponding relation between the target address and the service type.

S302, the UPF network element determines whether the service type of the second service is a learning service.

In some embodiments, if the service type of the second service is a learning-class service, the UPF network element may perform S206.

That is, in the case that the user type of the target user is the target type and the target address exists in the white list, if the service type of the second service is the learning service, the UPF network element may determine the first policy information.

It will be appreciated that in case the address of the target application is on the white list, the service type of the second service may be determined. In case the service type of the second service is a learning-class service, the UPF network element may determine the first policy information. Therefore, the flow speed of the data flow used by the second service can be relaxed, the running speed of the second service is improved, and the use experience of a user is ensured.

In some embodiments, if the service type of the second service is an entertainment service, the UPF network element may perform S207.

That is, when the user type of the target user is the target type and the target address exists in the white list, if the service type of the second service is the entertainment service, the UPF network element may determine the second policy information.

It will be appreciated that in case the address of the target application is on the white list, the service type of the second service may be determined. In case the service type of the second service is an entertainment class service, the UPF network element may determine the second policy information. Thus, the flow rate of the data traffic used by the second service can be limited, and the operation speed of the second service can be reduced so as to limit the operation of the second service.

As shown in fig. 4, in the method for determining a policy according to the embodiment of the present application, after S205, the method further includes:

s401, the UPF network element determines whether the position information of the target user is in the target area.

In the embodiment of the present application, the service data packet further includes: target time and position information of a target user, wherein the target time is the time for the terminal to send the service data packet. The UPF network element can analyze the service data packet to determine the target time and the position information of the target user.

It should be noted that, the target area is not limited in the embodiment of the present application. For example, the target user is a student, and the target area may be a school. For another example, the target user may be a staff member and the target area may be a company.

In some embodiments, if the location information of the target user is not in the target area, the UPF network element may perform S206.

It will be appreciated that in situations where the location information of the target user is not in the target area (e.g., school), it is stated that the target user may not need to work or learn. The UPF network element can provide a first bandwidth for the target application and help the target application to normally operate.

In other embodiments, if the location information of the target user is not in the target area, the UPF network element may perform S402.

In other embodiments, if the location information of the target user is in the target area, the UPF network element may perform S207. Alternatively, if the location information of the target user is in the target area, the UPF network element may perform S402.

S402, the UPF network element determines whether the target time is within a preset time period.

It should be noted that, the embodiment of the present application does not limit the preset time period. For example, the preset time period may be an on-time (e.g., 08:00-18:00). For another example, the preset time period may include: 09:00-12:00, 14:00-18: 00. for another example, the preset time period may be: 00:00-08:00, 21:00-24:00.

In some embodiments, if the location information of the target user is not in the target area and the target time is not within the preset time period, the UPF performs S206.

It can be understood that if the location information of the target user is not in the target area and the target time is not within the preset time period, it is indicated that the target user is not in the working area and is not using the target application in the working time. Therefore, the UPF network element can provide a first bandwidth for the target application and ensure the operation of the target application.

In some embodiments, when the user type of the target user is the target type and the target address exists in the white list, if the location information of the target user is in the target area and/or the target time is within the preset period of time, the UPF network element executes S207.

That is, if the location information of the target user is in the target area, the UPF network element performs S207. Or if the target time is within the preset time period, the UPF network element executes S207. Or if the location information of the target user is in the target area and the target time is within the preset time period, the UPF network element executes S207.

In some embodiments, if the user type of the target user is a target type and the target address exists in the whitelist, if the location information of the target user is not in the target area, the target time is not in the preset time period, and the service type of the second service is a learning service, the UPF network element determines the first policy information.

Embodiments of the present application are described below in conjunction with specific examples. As shown in fig. 5, the UPF network element may perform three-layer parsing (or further perform four-layer parsing) on the service data packet to obtain an IP address, and perform seven-layer parsing on the service data packet to obtain a URL. Then, the UPF network element may determine the destination address based on the IP address or URL (i.e., destination address), the rule base (i.e., S204-S205), and execute a policy corresponding to the white list (i.e., first policy information) or a policy corresponding to the black list (i.e., second policy information).

It will be appreciated that the computer device, in order to carry out the functions described above, comprises corresponding hardware structures and/or software modules that perform the respective functions.
