Detailed Description

The present application is described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples.

First, a detailed description will be given of a 5G QoS priority guarantee technique and a network slice selection technique.

1) 5G QoS priority guarantee technology

The basic idea of the 5G QoS priority guarantee technology is as follows: different types of network traffic are distinguished by using network QoS, different priorities are adopted for different users or different data flows, and the performance of the data flows is ensured to reach a certain level. Specifically, the 5G QoS model supports QoS flows that guarantee a flow bit rate (GBR, guaranteed Bit Rate) and QoS flows that do not guarantee a flow bit rate (Non-GBR) based on QoS flows; qoS flows are the minimum granularity of QoS differentiation, identified in 5G systems with QoS Flow identification (QFI, qoS Flow ID), and user plane traffic with the same QFI within a protocol data unit (PDU, protocol Data Unit) session corresponds to the same traffic forwarding process (e.g., scheduling, admission threshold, etc.).

As shown in fig. 1, a terminal, AN Access Network (AN), and a user plane function (UPF, user Plane Function) define QoS flows in different manners, respectively. Wherein the terminal defines QoS flows using one or more QoS rules provided to the terminal by the session management function (SMF, session Management Function) through the access and mobility management function (AMF, access and Mobility Management Function) or pre-configured in the terminal; the AN defines QoS flows using QoS profiles provided by the SMF to the AN through the AMF or pre-configured in the AN; UPF defines QoS flows using one or more packet detection rules (PDR, packet Detection Rule) upstream (english may be expressed as Uplink, UL for short) or downstream (english may be expressed as Downlink, DL for short), which are provided by the SMF to the UPF.

The QoS rules for traffic associated with QoS flows on the terminal include the following information: QFI, packet filter set (PFS, packet Filter Set), and priority. Wherein the PFS comprises one or more packet filters for identifying one or more packet flows; for example, an Internet Protocol (IP) type packet filter may include a combination of the following parameters: source IP address or destination IP address or IPv6 prefix, source port number or destination port number, protocol Identification (ID), IPv4 service type (ToS)/IPv 6 traffic class and mask, IPv6 flow label, security parameter index, packet filter applicable flow direction (upstream and/or downstream); as another example, an ethernet type packet filter may include a combination of the following parameters: source or destination MAC address, ethernet type, VID field in customer virtual local area network (VLAN, virtual Local Area Network) TAG (C-TAG) and/or service VLAN TAG (S-TAG), PCP or DEI field in C-TAG and/or S-TAG, packet filter applicable flow direction (upstream and/or downstream).

For uplink user plane traffic, the terminal uses its own stored QoS rules to determine the mapping between traffic and QoS flows. For traffic conforming to the packet filter in the QoS rules, the terminal marks the uplink PDU with the corresponding QFI and sends the uplink traffic for the QoS flow using the specified access resources based on the mapping rules provided by the AN or Radio Access Network (RAN).

2) Terminal network slice selection technique

The main differences between network slicing and QoS are: the network slice not only can provide differentiated service quality based on services under different scenes, but also can provide differentiated comprehensive user experience for different users aiming at the same service; still further, the network slice can also provide differentiated integrated business experiences for different applications of the same business type.

The urs is a core rule for configuring and managing network slices for terminals. The URSP is generated in the process of slicing order opening, acts on the terminal in the slicing service flow, and is used for guiding the terminal to put service data on corresponding network slices for bearing according to the flow characteristics (TD, traffic Description). The mobile application provider agrees with the 5G network operator on the service level agreement (SLA, service Level Agreement) as required by the mobile internet application for 5G network services. The 5G network operator will provide network slice service conforming to SLA agreement for mobile internet application, and create urs, and send the urs to the terminal through the core network and the base station to complete configuration, where the terminal receives and configures urs as shown in fig. 2.

The urs rules may contain priorities, traffic descriptions, routing components (including network slice IDs), and routing check rules. Wherein the flow description may include one or a combination of the following parameters:

the application description is used for identifying the application corresponding to the service flow, and specifically can comprise an operating system identifier (OSId) and an application program identifier (OSApPID);

IP description, an IP feature for identifying a traffic flow, i.e. a destination IP triplet: IP address/IPv 6 prefix, port number, and protocol number;

domain descriptions, which are used for identifying domain features of the service flow, namely domains to be accessed, can contain domain names or regular expressions of domain name matching rules;

a non-IP description, i.e. a description of a non-IP type traffic feature;

private data network name (DNN, data Network Name) information for identifying the DNN accessed by the application;

connection capability for identifying a specific connection capability, such as IMS, mms, internet, may represent a service type of IP multimedia subsystem (IMS, IP Multimedia Subsystem) call, sms, internet, respectively.

The terminal stores and applies URSP rules, when the terminal application associated with a specific network slice requests data transmission, namely, when the terminal is matched to accord with the flow characteristics associated with the specific network slice, if the terminal has established one or more PDU (protocol data unit) sessions corresponding to the specific network slice, the terminal can select one of the PDU sessions to forward the user data of the application; if the terminal has not created a PDU session corresponding to that particular network slice, the terminal may request that a PDU session be created corresponding to that network slice.

In the related art, a non-5G device (i.e., a terminal that does not support a 5G network) may access the 5G network through a 5G CPE. As shown in fig. 3, in various industry application scenarios, the 5G CPE is used as a gateway for converting 5G signals to other signal formats (such as a fourth generation mobile communication technology (4G), a narrowband internet of things (NB-IoT), wiFi, zigbee, bluetooth, radio Frequency Identification (RFID) network, a long-distance wide area network (lorewan, long Range Wide Area Netwok) and other wireless networks, and a fiber, a network cable, a high-definition multimedia interface (HDMI, high Definition Multimedia Interface) and other wired networks), so as to meet that industry devices that do not support 5G access can access to the 5G network, and access to an industry dedicated network constructed based on a network slicing technology. However, in the actual service matching process, the network accessed to the 5G CPE is diversified and complicated (i.e., the network accessed to the 5G CPE may include wireless networks such as 4G, NB-IoT, wiFi, zigbee, bluetooth, RFID network, loRaWAN, and wired networks such as optical fiber, network cable, and HDMI), and the differentiated requirements of the service end-to-end QoS guarantee.

Specifically, there are three typical industry application scenarios for 5G CPE:

Business scenario 1: services accessed to the 5G CPE through WiFi are typically services with low requirements on network quality (such as throughput, end-to-end latency, SLA guarantee, etc.), such as office automation (OA, office Automation) class applications, public class applications, etc.

Business scenario 2: the service of accessing the 5G CPE through a cable network such as an optical fiber is usually a service with high requirements on network quality, such as medical imaging equipment, medical ultrasonic equipment and other medical detection or monitoring equipment in the application scene of medical industry.

Business scenario 3: services accessed to the 5G CPE through a Bluetooth network or a LoRaWAN network and the like are usually services with high delay requirements but low throughput requirements, such as positioning services, equipment management and control services and the like; the service needs to update the position information or receive the instruction in real time so as to ensure the accuracy and the rapidity of service execution.

In order to enable the 5G CPE to effectively support the above three industry application scenarios (i.e., service scenario 1, service scenario 2 and service scenario 3), it is necessary to enable the 5G network to identify different service types or access network types accessed to the 5G CPE, and requirements of end-to-end transmission quality (such as transmission throughput, transmission delay, transmission SLA, etc.) of the service or network accessed by the 5G CPE, so that in the transmission process of uplink data, differentiated requirements of the service or network performance accessed by the terminal to the 5G CPE are ensured.

In practical applications, it may be considered that the 5G CPE meets the above requirements to some extent through a 5G QoS priority guarantee technique and/or a network slice selection technique. Specifically, if the 5G CPE does not support network slicing or does not support simultaneous access to multiple network slicing, SLA guarantee of different services can be implemented based on QoS rules; for example, assuming that the destination IP address of the uplink traffic of a specific application is regular, a QoS rule based on the destination IP address may be created, and the traffic of the application is mapped to a specified QoS flow, so as to ensure the network transmission quality of the application. If the 5G CPE supports to simultaneously access a plurality of network slices, SLA guarantee of different services can be realized based on URSP rules; for example, assuming that the access domain name of a particular application is regular, domain name based urs rules may be created to route traffic for that application to a specified network slice, thereby guaranteeing the network transmission quality for that application.

However, the 5G CPE has great differences from the common terminal in application scenarios and network locations, and as can be seen from the parameters of the QoS rule and the urs rule, the current 5G QoS priority guarantee technique and network slice selection technique are designed for the common terminal and cannot be fully applied to the service scenarios of the 5G CPE; specifically, when the 5G CPE guarantees the service transmission capability through the 5G QoS priority guarantee technique and/or the network slice selection technique, the following problems exist:

1) As can be seen from the above three industry application scenarios (i.e. service scenario 1, service scenario 2 and service scenario 3), industry users typically deploy services with different priorities on different types of access networks of the 5G CPE (i.e. the second hop network of the 5G CPE, which can be understood as a network between the 5G CPE and the terminal), but neither the current QoS rules nor the urs rules support rule configuration based on the type of access network;

2) The 5G CPE is used as an access gateway device, is between the terminal and the 5G network and is responsible for protocol conversion and forwarding of data, and a plurality of parameters in QoS rules and URSP rules for common terminals are not applicable to the 5G CPE; for example, the service application is installed on the second hop network terminal of the 5G CPE, but not on the 5G CPE, and the 5G CPE cannot directly obtain information such as an application program identifier (AppId) of the application, so that the traffic rule based on the application in the urs p is not applicable to the 5G CPE;

3) Based on the current QoS rules and urs rules, the 5G CPE can only map applications indirectly based on IP address, domain name, etc. rules, but the number of IP addresses and domain names can be very large and vary frequently, resulting in a large amount of configuration and maintenance effort.

In summary, for the 5G CPE, the QoS rule and the urs rule in the related art cannot accurately and completely identify the application carried by the second hop network terminal of the 5G CPE, and the QoS rule and the urs rule in the related art do not support the information that the second hop network of the 5G CPE can be used to identify the application, so that the requirement that the 5G network identifies the service type of the access 5G CPE and differentially guarantees the network transmission quality is difficult to implement.

Based on this, in various embodiments of the present application, in a scenario that a terminal only supports a non-5G network, needs to access a 5G CPE through the non-5G network, and then accesses the 5G network through the 5G CPE, the 5G CPE reports relevant information of a second hop network (i.e., the non-5G network between the terminal and the 5G CPE) to a network side, so that the network side can configure a data scheduling policy for a service carried by the 5G CPE more accurately and completely based on the relevant information of the second hop network of the 5G CPE, and further can ensure service transmission capability of the 5G CPE, and improve user experience.

second information characterizing attributes of the first network;

the terminal accesses the first equipment through the first network, and the network side communicates with the terminal through the first equipment and the first network; i.e. the first network is used for connecting a terminal and the first device.

Here, it can be understood that the terminal cannot directly communicate with the network side; in other words, the terminal does not support a 5G network.

In practical applications, the terminal may also be referred to as a User Equipment (UE), and may also be referred to as a User. The terminal may include office devices such as a mobile phone, a computer, and may further include a wearable device, a camera, a Virtual Reality (VR) device, an internet of things (IoT, internet of Things) device, and the embodiment of the present application is not limited thereto.

In practical applications, the first device may be a gateway device capable of performing a transition between 5G signals and non-5G signals. By way of example, the first Device may include a 5G CPE and a 5G terminal with a relay function, such as a 5G terminal supporting a Device-to-Device (D2D) communication technology, and the specific implementation of the first Device is not limited in this embodiment of the present application.

In practical applications, the first network may be understood as a non-5G network between the first device and the terminal, and may also be referred to as a second hop network of the first device. The first network may include wireless networks such as 4G, NB-IoT, wiFi, zigbee, bluetooth, RFID networks, lorewan, etc., and wired networks such as optical fiber, network cable, HDMI, etc.

In practical application, the network side may include network devices such as a base station, a core network, and a multiple access edge computing (MEC) platform; based on the first information reported by the first device, the base station, the core network and the MEC platform may issue data scheduling policies, such as QoS rules and/or urs rules, for the first device from the physical layer, the network layer and the application layer, respectively. The network device that specifically issues the data scheduling policy to the first device may be set according to a requirement, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present application.

In practical application, the first information is about the granularity of the first device, in other words, the first information can be understood as an overall network description reported by considering all non-5G networks accessed by the first device as a whole (i.e., the first network). 4G, NB-IoT, wiFi, zigbee, bluetooth, RFID network, loRaWAN and other wireless networks, and optical fiber, network cable, HDMI and other wired networks can be understood as the access network of the first network.

In practical application, the second information can be understood as basic information of the first network; after the network side receives the first information, the first network can be identified according to the second information, and the configuration and management of the corresponding data scheduling strategy can be completed in cooperation with the third information. The third information may be used to describe transmission capability requirements of the first network; after the network side receives the first information, the data scheduling strategy can be dynamically adjusted according to the third information so as to meet the differentiated network transmission capability requirements in the first network, namely, the network transmission capability requirements of different types of access networks of the first network.

In an embodiment, the second information may include at least one of:

information about the access network type (which may also be referred to as a second hop network type) of the first network;

an identification of an access point in the first network;

In actual application, the first device may perceive information related to an access network type of the first network and an identifier of an access point in the first network; the manufacturer related information and the equipment type related information of at least one terminal accessing the first network can be carried by the corresponding terminal in a data message and reported to the first equipment, and can also be directly configured on the first equipment according to the requirement.

The access network type related information of the first network is used for describing the type of an access network, such as 4G, NB-IoT, wiFi, zigbee, bluetooth, RFID network, loRaWAN, optical fiber, network cable, HDMI and the like; the first device reports the information to enable the network side to identify the type of the access network and configure a data scheduling strategy based on the information, so that differentiated network transmission guarantee aiming at different access network types is realized. Specifically, the network side may configure an uplink data scheduling policy of the first device according to an access network type of the first network, for example, allocate different network slices or QoS rules for network data of WiFi and bluetooth types.

The identification of the access point in the first network refers to an ID of the access network, such as a service set identification (SSID, service Set Identifier) of the WiFi network. In practical application, one access network may correspond to multiple access points, in other words, even under the same access network type, users will generally divide different network IDs to face different access users or services; for example, in the same park, workers and visitors access WiFi networks with different SSIDs respectively, so as to realize different network security policies and guarantee network resources. The first device reports the information to enable the network side to identify the ID of the access network and configure a data scheduling strategy based on the information, so that differentiated network transmission guarantee aiming at different users and/or service types is realized.

In practical applications, the at least one terminal accessing the first network may be understood as at least one terminal accessing the first device through at least one access network. The manufacturer of the terminal may also be referred to as a vendor. When a service is deployed, a user typically specifies to purchase one or more particular manufacturer's terminal devices. The first equipment reports the related information of the manufacturer of at least one terminal accessed to the first network, so that the network side can identify the manufacturer of the at least one terminal and configure a data scheduling strategy based on the information, thereby realizing differentiated network transmission guarantee for different services.

In practical application, the device types of the terminal may include office devices, wearable devices, cameras, VR devices, etc., where terminals with different device types are generally used in different service types, and the first device reports information related to the device type of at least one terminal accessing the first network, so that the network side can identify the terminal type accessing the first network, and configure a data scheduling policy based on the information, thereby implementing differentiated network transmission guarantee for different service types.

In practical application, the network side may configure the uplink data scheduling policy of the first device according to manufacturer related information and/or device type related information of at least one terminal accessing the first network, for example, allocate different network slices or QoS rules for data of different manufacturers and/or device types.

In an embodiment, the access network type related information of the first network may include at least one of the following:

an access network type identification of the first network;

an access network type name of the first network.

Here, the access network type identifier of the first network refers to a unique identifier of the type of the corresponding access network on the first device, and may be implemented in various manners such as a Bitmap (Bitmap), a number, and the like, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present application. Illustratively, it is assumed that the first network comprises two access network types: wiFi and wired; when the access network type identification of the first network is implemented by adopting a Bitmap mode, assuming that a 4-bit (bit) Bitmap is adopted, bit0 represents WiFi, bit1 represents wired, 0001 can represent WiFi, 0010 can represent wired, 0011 can represent the application of the two network types at the same time; when the access network type identification of the first network is implemented in a numbering manner, assuming that a 4bit numbering is used, "0000" may represent WiFi, and "0001" may represent wired.

The access network type name of the first network refers to a readable name of a corresponding access network type, and may be implemented in a character string manner, for example, the character string "WiFi" may represent WiFi, and the character string "wireless" may represent wired.

In practical application, the identification of the access point in the first network may include at least one of the following:

an identification of an access point in the first network;

and the type of the network to which the access point belongs in the first network.

Here, the identification of the access point in the first network refers to a unique identification of the corresponding access point on the first device, that is, an ID of the access network, and may be implemented in a number, a character string, or other manners. For example, assuming that there are three access points on the first network, when the identification of the access points is implemented in a numbering manner, assuming that the number of 2 bits is adopted, the numbers "00", "01" and "11" may be used to represent the identifications of the three access points respectively; when the identification of 3 access points is represented by using a corresponding network name in a string manner, the string "Guest" may represent a Guest network, the string "Staff" may represent an employee network, and the string "VIP" may represent a Guest network.

In practical application, the type of the network to which the access point in the first network belongs may be implemented by the identifier of the type of the network to which the access point belongs, and this field may correspond to (i.e. be the same as) the field "information related to the type of the access network of the first network".

In an embodiment, the manufacturer-related information may include at least one of:

an identification of the manufacturer;

name of the manufacturer.

Here, the identification of the manufacturer refers to a unique identification of the corresponding manufacturer on the first device, which may also be referred to as manufacturer ID, and may be implemented by numbering. By way of example, assuming that the first network has access to terminals of 3 manufacturers and assuming a 2bit number, the 3 manufacturers may be represented by the numbers "00", "01", "11", respectively.

In practical application, the name of the manufacturer may be the full name or short name of the corresponding manufacturer, and may be implemented in a character string manner. For example, the strings "HW", "ZTE", "CMCC" may each represent one manufacturer.

In an embodiment, the device type related information may include at least one of:

identification of the device type;

name of the device type.

Here, the identification of the device type refers to a unique identification of the corresponding device type on the first device, and may be implemented by numbering. By way of example, assuming that terminals of 3 device types access the first network and assuming a 2bit number, the three terminal types may be represented by numbers "00", "01", "11", respectively.

In practical application, the name of the device type may be a readable name of the corresponding device type, and may be implemented in a string manner, for example, a string "VR" may represent a VR device, a string "Camera" may represent a Camera, and a string "IoT" may represent an internet of things device.

In an embodiment, the third information may include at least one of:

transmission priority information of a service carried by the first network;

Here, the transmission priority information of the service carried by the first network refers to a network transmission priority requirement of the service carried by each access network of the first network; the first device reports the information, so that the network side can configure the data scheduling policy of the first network based on the transmission priority requirement. For example, assuming that the transmission priority of the access network type "HDMI" is "high", the network side may configure QoS rules with a high SLA level for the access network type.

The related information of transmission performance requirements of the service borne by the first network refers to network performance requirements of the service borne by each access network of the first network; the first device reports the information, so that the network side can configure the data scheduling policy of the first network based on the transmission performance requirement. Illustratively, assuming that the access network type "WiFi" requires a high transmission rate, the network side may configure the urs rules of the associated enhanced mobile broadband (eMBB, enhanced Mobile BroadBand) type network slice for that access network type.

In practical application, the transmission priority information of the service carried by the first network can be realized in a plurality of modes such as numbering, character strings and the like. By way of example, assuming that the transmission priority of the first network has 3 levels, when the transmission priority information is implemented in a numbered manner, assuming that a 2-bit number is used, the 3 levels may be represented by numbers "00", "01", "11", respectively; when the transmission priority information is implemented in a string manner, 3 classes can be represented by strings of "high", "medium" and "low", respectively.

In an embodiment, the transmission performance requirement related information may include at least one of:

An uplink rate;

a downlink rate;

time delay;

dithering;

reliability.

The uplink rate refers to the requirement on the network uplink rate, and can be realized in various modes such as a class number, a digital form, a character string form and the like. Illustratively, when the requirement on the uplink rate of the network is met by adopting a grade numbering mode, interval grades can be divided and numbered for the requirement on the uplink rate; for example, [100 megabits per second (Mbps), 200Mbps ] may be the first level, numbered 00; [200Mbps,500 Mbps) may be the second level, number 01. When the requirement on the network uplink rate is realized in a digital form, the minimum uplink rate requirement can be expressed by a digital form; for example, 100 may represent an upstream rate greater than or equal to 100Mbps. When the character string form is adopted to realize the requirement of the network uplink speed, the character string can be used for directly writing the uplink speed requirement; for example, a string ". Gtoreq.100 Mbps" may indicate that the upstream rate is greater than or equal to 100Mbps.

The downlink rate refers to the requirement on the downlink rate of the network, and can be achieved in the same manner as the requirement on the uplink rate is achieved, and details are omitted here.

The time delay refers to the requirement on network time delay, and can be realized in various modes such as class number, digital form, character string form and the like. Illustratively, when the requirement for the network delay is achieved by adopting a grade numbering mode, the interval grade can be divided and numbered for the delay requirement; for example, [1 millisecond (ms), 10 ms) may be the first level, numbered 00; [10ms,50 ms) may be the second level, number 01. When the requirement on network time delay is realized in a digital form, the maximum time delay requirement can be expressed by a digital form; for example, 10 may indicate a delay of less than or equal to 10ms. When the character string form is adopted to realize the requirement on network time delay, the time delay requirement can be directly written through the character string; for example, a string "+.10ms" may indicate a latency of less than or equal to 10ms.

The jitter refers to the requirement on network jitter, and can be implemented in the same manner as the requirement on implementing network delay, which is not described here again.

The reliability refers to the requirement on the network reliability, and can be realized in various modes such as a grade number, a digital form, a character string form and the like. Illustratively, when the requirement on the network reliability is achieved by adopting a grade numbering mode, interval grades can be divided and numbered for the requirement on the network reliability; for example, (99.9%, 99.99% ] may be the first level, numbered 00, (99.99%, 99.999% ] may be the second level, numbered 01. When the requirement for network reliability is achieved in digital form, the reliability requirement may be represented by several "9" s in the minimum reliability requirement, for example, 4 may represent that the reliability requirement is greater than or equal to 99.99%. When the requirement for network reliability is achieved in string form, the reliability requirement may be written directly by a string, for example, the string ". Gtoreq.99.99%" may represent that the reliability requirement is greater than or equal to 99.99%.

Here, when detecting that the attribute and/or transmission capability of the first network change, the first device automatically reports the first information to the network side, so that the first information can be updated continuously along with the change of the attribute and/or transmission capability of the first network; in this way, the network side can timely adjust the data scheduling policy related to information change according to the updated first information, in other words, the data scheduling policy issued by the network side can meet the dynamic change requirement of the first network.

In practical application, the attribute and/or transmission capability of the first network change, which may include at least one of the following:

interfaces corresponding to one or more access networks fail due to human factors or device faults, so that the identification of the corresponding access point is not available;

unavailable access networks return to normal, resulting in the identification of the corresponding access point being used normally.

The method comprises the steps that the basic information of an access network of a first network is newly added and deleted, and the new addition and deletion of the transmission performance requirements of corresponding services are triggered;

the user modifies the information about the transmission performance requirements of the traffic carried by one or more access networks.

In practical application, when the first device reports the first information to the network side in an aperiodic reporting manner, the aperiodic reporting process may also be triggered by the network side. The triggering factor of the network side triggering the aperiodic reporting process may include, but is not limited to, the following cases:

after the first equipment completes network registration, the network side discovers that the first information of the first equipment is not stored locally;

the network side adds a data scheduling policy to a first network of a first device, but the first device has not reported corresponding first information.

In actual application, the network side can trigger the first equipment to report the first information in an aperiodic report mode by sending a first information report instruction signal to the first equipment; the signaling may be issued to the first device through a signaling carrier such as RRC, NAS, IP, DCI, MAC CE, etc., which is not limited in the embodiments of the present application.

In practical application, the format of the first information reporting indication signaling may be set according to the requirement, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present application. For example, the format of the first information reporting indicating signaling may be (reporting indicating, reporting content), where the reporting indicating may be implemented by 1bit, for example, 0 indicates no reporting, and 1 indicates reporting. Reporting content can be achieved through various modes such as a Bitmap, a number and a character string, when the Bitmap mode is adopted to achieve reporting content, if 8-bit Bitmap is adopted, bit0 represents access network type related information, bit1 represents an identifier of an access point, then '00000011' can represent that the network side needs the first device to report the access network type related information and the identifier of the access point; when reporting content is realized by adopting a numbering mode, if a 4bit number is adopted, 0000 can represent access network type related information, 0001 can represent identification of an access point; when the content is reported in a string mode, a string "networktype" may represent information related to the type of the access network, and a string "networkID" may represent an identifier of the access point.

Correspondingly, the embodiment of the application also provides an information transmission method, which is applied to the network equipment and comprises the following steps:

second information characterizing attributes of the first network;

the terminal accesses the first equipment through the first network, and the network equipment communicates with the terminal through the first equipment and the first network; i.e. the first network is used for connecting a terminal and the first device.

In practical application, after receiving the first information reported by the first device, the network device may configure a data scheduling policy of a corresponding service for various attributes and/or transmission capabilities (i.e., the second information and/or the third information) of the first network based on the first information, for example, configure association relations between various access network types and network slices, so that a 5G network slicing technology can be fully used, and network resources and data transmission quality can be differentially ensured.

In an exemplary case where the second information includes information about an access network type of the first network and the third information includes information about a transmission priority of a service carried by the first network, it is assumed that the first information specifically includes: (WiFi, mid), (wired, high); the network device may configure different QFI for data of different access network types for the first device: (WiFi, qfi=9), (wired, qfi=3).

In an embodiment, the method may further comprise:

Here, it should be noted that: the specific processing procedure of the network device is described in detail above, and will not be described in detail here.

The embodiment of the application also provides an information transmission method, as shown in fig. 4, which includes:

step 401: the first equipment reports first information to the network equipment;

here, the first information includes at least one of:

second information characterizing attributes of the first network;

third information characterizing a transmission capability of the first network;

the terminal accesses the first equipment through the first network, and the network equipment communicates with the terminal through the first equipment and the first network; i.e. the first network is used for connecting a terminal and the first device;

step 402: and the network equipment receives the first information reported by the first equipment.

According to the information transmission method provided by the embodiment of the application, first equipment reports first information to a network side; the first information includes at least one of: second information characterizing attributes of the first network; third information characterizing a transmission capability of the first network; the first network is used for connecting a terminal and the first equipment, and the network side communicates with the terminal through the first equipment and the first network. According to the scheme, under the scene that the terminal only supports the non-5G network (namely the first network), the first equipment is required to be accessed to the first equipment through the non-5G network and then the first equipment is required to be accessed to the 5G network, the first equipment reports the related information (namely the first information) of the non-5G network to the network side, so that the network side can configure a data scheduling strategy for the service borne by the first equipment more accurately and completely based on the related information of the non-5G network, the service transmission capacity of the first equipment can be further guaranteed, and the user experience is improved.

The present application is described in further detail below in connection with examples of application.

In this application embodiment, a method for reporting second hop network information (i.e., the first information) of a 5G CPE (5G terminal) is provided for a service problem that access gateway devices (i.e., the first device) such as the 5G CPE and the 5G terminal with a relay function cannot support the second hop network (i.e., the first network) or differentiation of service data, and a network side (e.g., a base station, a core network, a MEC platform, etc.) configures a data scheduling policy of the second hop network for the 5G CPE (5G terminal) according to the second hop network information reported by the 5G CPE (5G terminal). For example, for the above three industry application scenarios (i.e., service scenario 1, service scenario 2 and service scenario 3), the 5G CPE may report the network type information of the current second hop network to the network side, and the network side may set the urs rule or QoS rule based on the network type and issue the urs rule to the 5G CPE, so that the 5G CPE may associate the data belonging to the specified second hop network type to the specified network slice or QoS flow bearer, thereby implementing differentiated network transmission service guarantee for different types of services accessed by the second hop network of the different types of 5G CPE.

In this application embodiment, for simplicity of description, a 5G CPE (5G terminal) is collectively denoted as a 5G CPE, that is, a 5G CPE may be understood as one 5G terminal.

Specifically, as shown in fig. 5, in this application embodiment, the flow of the communication between the 5G CPE and the network side may include the following steps:

step 501: the 5G CPE reports second-hop network information (namely the first information) to the network side;

step 502: the network side issues a second hop network data scheduling strategy of the 5G CPE;

step 503: the 5G CPE transmits the uplink traffic data.

In step 501, the 5G CPE may report the second-hop network basic information, such as the second-hop network type, and the information, such as the transmission capability requirement of the second-hop network, to the network side, where the reporting manner may be single, periodic or aperiodic, so as to meet the dynamic change requirement of the second-hop network of the 5G CPE.

In step 502, the network side may determine an uplink data scheduling policy according to the second hop network information fed back by the 5G CPE, where the policy may be transmitted to the 5G CPE through signaling bearers such as RRC, NAS, IP, DCI, MAC CE, etc.; after receiving the second-hop network data scheduling policy issued by the network side, the 5G CPE completes scheduling transmission of uplink service data. Specifically, under the condition that the base station makes a decision of the data scheduling policy, after receiving the second-hop network information reported by the 5G CPE, the base station can directly determine the second-hop network data scheduling policy of the 5G CPE according to the second-hop network information and issue the second-hop network data scheduling policy to the 5G CPE. Under the condition that the core network or the MEC platform makes a decision of a data scheduling strategy, after receiving second-hop network information reported by the 5G CPE, the base station can forward the second-hop network information to the core network or the MEC platform; the core network or MEC platform determines a second-hop network data scheduling strategy of the 5G CPE according to the second-hop network information, and feeds back the second-hop network data scheduling strategy to the base station; and the base station forwards the second-hop network data scheduling strategy to the 5G CPE.

In step 503, specifically, the 5G CPE may complete the assembly and the combination of the uplink service data of the second hop network of the 5G CPE according to the received data scheduling policy of the second hop network, and complete the data transmission process from the 5G CPE to the network side according to the resource scheduling instruction.

According to the scheme provided by the application embodiment, the information of the second hop network supported by the 5G CPE is reported to the network, so that the network can configure a service data scheduling policy (such as QoS rule and URSP rule) applicable to the 5G CPE based on the second hop network information of the 5G CPE.
