Description
本發明是有關於一種行動邊緣運算(Mobile Edge Computing,MEC)技術,且特別是有關於一種行動邊緣運算平台及基於行動邊緣運算的封包卸載方法。The present invention relates to a mobile edge computing (Mobile Edge Computing, MEC) technology, and particularly relates to a mobile edge computing platform and a packet offloading method based on mobile edge computing.
在行動邊緣運算架構中提供用戶本地卸載功能,可更快速提供行動用戶特訂服務,亦能降低核心網路的負擔。行動邊緣運算通常都是透過判斷封包的來源端網際網路協定(Internet Protocol,IP)位址、目的地IP位址、來源埠(port)、目的埠等多個欄位來確認是否為需要本地卸載之封包。而過多的欄位分析將增加處理封包時間,進而影響效能。In the mobile edge computing architecture, the user's local offload function is provided, which can provide mobile user-specific services more quickly, and can also reduce the burden on the core network. Mobile edge computing usually uses multiple fields such as the Internet Protocol (IP) address, destination IP address, source port (port), and destination port of the packet to determine whether it is local Uninstalled package. Too many field analysis will increase the processing time of the packet, and then affect the performance.
有鑑於此,本發明實施例提供一種行動邊緣運算平台及基於行動邊緣運算的封包卸載方法,其查看封包外層資訊即可確認封包是否需要本地卸載,從而提升處理效率。In view of this, the embodiments of the present invention provide a mobile edge computing platform and a packet unloading method based on mobile edge computing, which check the outer layer information of the packet to confirm whether the packet needs to be unloaded locally, thereby improving processing efficiency.
本發明實施例的行動邊緣運算平台包括(但不僅限於)通訊收發器、儲存器及處理器。通訊收發器接收來自行動網路的上行訊務封包。儲存器記錄數個模組。處理器耦接通訊收發器及儲存器,存取並執行儲存器所記錄的那些軟體模組。那些軟體模組包括信令擷取分析模組及本地卸載判斷模組。信令擷取分析模組自信令封包取得用戶設備經由隧道協定(tunneling protocol)傳送用戶資料的端點識別碼,並依據此端點識別碼取得用戶設備的用戶資訊。本地卸載判斷模組依據此端點識別碼及上行訊戶封包的目的地網路位址判斷是否將原先送至核心網路的上行訊務封包轉送至內部伺服器。The mobile edge computing platform of the embodiment of the present invention includes (but is not limited to) a communication transceiver, a storage, and a processor. The communication transceiver receives uplink traffic packets from the mobile network. The memory records several modules. The processor is coupled to the communication transceiver and the storage, and accesses and executes the software modules recorded in the storage. Those software modules include a signaling capture and analysis module and a local uninstallation judgment module. The signaling capture and analysis module obtains the endpoint identification code of the user equipment that transmits user data via a tunneling protocol from the signaling packet, and obtains the user information of the user equipment according to the endpoint identification code. The local offload determination module determines whether to forward the upstream traffic packets originally sent to the core network to the internal server based on the endpoint identification code and the destination network address of the upstream communication packet.
本發明實施例的基於行動邊緣運算的封包卸載方法包括(但不僅限於)下列步驟:接收來自行動網路之上行訊務封包。自信令封包取得用戶設備經由隧道協定傳送用戶資料的端點識別碼。依據此端點識別碼取得用戶設備的用戶資訊。依據端點識別碼及上行訊務封包的目的地網路位址判斷是否將原先送至核心網路的上行訊務封包轉送至內部伺服器。The packet offloading method based on mobile edge computing in the embodiment of the present invention includes (but is not limited to) the following steps: receiving traffic packets from the mobile network. Obtain from the signaling packet the endpoint identification code for the user equipment to transmit user data via the tunnel protocol. Obtain the user information of the user equipment according to the endpoint identification code. According to the endpoint identification code and the destination network address of the upstream traffic packet, it is determined whether to forward the upstream traffic packet originally sent to the core network to the internal server.
基於上述,本發明實施例的行動邊緣運算平台及基於行動邊緣運算的封包卸載方法,檢查封包對應的端點識別碼來取得更多用戶資訊,並進一步結合目的地位址來判斷是否轉送封包到內部網路,以卸載封包至本地。藉此,不僅可減少封包處理時間,更能增加彈性比對條件,從而提升傳輸效率並提升資安防護強度。Based on the above, the mobile edge computing platform and the packet unloading method based on the mobile edge computing of the embodiments of the present invention check the endpoint identification code corresponding to the packet to obtain more user information, and further combine the destination address to determine whether to forward the packet to the internal Network to unload the packet to the local. In this way, not only can the packet processing time be reduced, but also the flexible comparison conditions can be increased, thereby improving transmission efficiency and enhancing the strength of information security protection.

為了方便理解本發明的操作流程,以下將舉諸多實施例詳細說明。下文中,將搭配圖1中通訊架構中各裝置、元件及模組說明本發明實施例所述之方法。本方法的各個流程可依照實施情形而隨之調整,且並不僅限於此。In order to facilitate the understanding of the operation process of the present invention, a number of embodiments will be described below in detail. Hereinafter, the method described in the embodiment of the present invention will be described in conjunction with the devices, components, and modules in the communication architecture in FIG. 1. Each process of the method can be adjusted accordingly according to the implementation situation, and it is not limited to this.
圖2是依據本發明的一實施例的基於行動邊緣運算的封包卸載方法的流程圖。請參照圖2,處理器150透過通訊收發器110接收來自行動網路20之上行訊務封包(步驟S210)。具體而言,上行訊務封包是任一台用戶設備10經由行動網路20中的基地台傳送的封包,並可能包括用戶設備的10所欲傳送的資料訊務(或稱用戶資料/用戶平面(user-plane)資料)。在一些實施例中,基地台會將用戶設備10的封包封裝成隧道協定(tunneling protocol)(例如,GPRS隧道協定(GTP)或其他相似協定)格式(例如,GTP-U封包),使行動邊緣運算平台100接收到夾帶資料訊務的GTP-U封包。2 is a flowchart of a packet unloading method based on mobile edge computing according to an embodiment of the present invention. Please refer to FIG. 2, the
值得注意的是,在未設置行動邊緣運算平台100的情況下,上行訊務封包將經由核心網路40傳送至Internet 50。而本發明實施例將透過設置行動邊緣運算平台100來判斷上行訊務封包是否需要本地卸載(即,轉送至內部伺服器30)。It is worth noting that if the mobile edge computing platform 100 is not set up, the uplink traffic packets will be transmitted to the Internet 50 via the
信令擷取分析模組131可自信令封包取得此用戶設備10經由S1介面傳送用戶資料的端點識別碼(步驟S230)。具體而言,端點識別碼是夾帶於隧道協定相關封包的標頭(header)中並用以區分隧道中的不同連接。例如,GTP-U封包包括隧道端點標識(Tunnel endpoint identifier,TEID)。此外,行動邊緣運算平台100更能進一步依據特定端點識別碼來辨識所屬隧道是屬於哪個用戶設備10。即,可區別用戶設備10。The signaling capture and
接著,信令擷取分析模組131可依據此端點識別碼取得對應用戶設備10的用戶資訊(步驟S250)。具體而言,由於端點識別碼可用於識別用戶設備10,信令擷取分析模組131可進一步自先前儲存的全網用戶資料表中搜尋此用戶設備10對應的用戶資訊。此全網用戶資料表是此電信業者記錄所有用戶設備10的用戶資訊的集合(可能是資料庫、對照表等形式)。而用戶資訊可以是門號、存取點名稱(Access Point Name,APN)、基地台網路位址(即,行動網路20中的基地台的網路位址,且此用戶設備10當前受此基地台服務)、用戶網路位址、或其組合。其中,網路位址例如是IP位址、媒體存取控制(Media Access Control,MAC)位址、或其他網路中的識別碼。此外,有別於現有技術需查找封包中複數個欄位來取得用戶資訊,本發明實施例可基於端點識別碼來查找已記錄的用戶資訊,明顯可提升處理效率。Then, the signaling
在一實施例中,信令擷取分析模組131可先行判斷此端點識別碼及其用戶資訊是否符合本地卸載權限。若符合本地卸載權限,則將端點識別碼提供給本地卸載判斷模組136,以供本地卸載判斷模組136判斷是否轉送上行訊務封包。在其他實施例中,本地卸載判斷的所有機制可都在本地卸載判斷模組136進行。需說明的是,本地卸載權限的設定待後續實施例詳述。In one embodiment, the signaling
另需說明的是,用戶資訊中的內容可視實際需求而自行變更,本發明實施例不加以限制。In addition, it should be noted that the content in the user information can be changed according to actual needs, and the embodiment of the present invention is not limited.
接著,本地卸載判斷模組136可依據端點識別碼及上行訊務封包的目的地網路位址判斷是否將原先送至核心網路40的上行訊務封包轉送至內部伺服器30(步驟S270)。具體而言,本地卸載判斷模組136可自本地卸載條件設定模組135取得事先設定(亦可事後修改)的本地卸載條件資訊。此本地卸載條件資訊可記錄可/需本地卸載(即,傳送至內部伺服器30)的網路位址(供目的地網路位址比對)。本地卸載判斷模組136比對上行訊務封包對應的端點識別碼及目的地網路位址是否已記錄在本地卸載條件資訊。若已記錄於本地卸載條件資訊中,則表示上行訊務封包可進行本地卸載,且本地卸載判斷模組136將此上行訊務封包轉送至內部伺服器30。另一方面,若未已記錄於本地卸載條件資訊中,則本地卸載判斷模組136仍將此上行訊務封包送至核心網路40(例如,其中的服務閘道(Serving Gateway,S-GW))。Then, the local
在一實施例中,網域網路位址對應特定的存活時間。而本地卸載判斷模組136可依據目的地網路位址取得對應的存活時間(相符的網域網路位址的存活時間),並判斷此存活時間是否過期,以確認DNS狀態。若此存活時間尚未過期,則本地卸載判斷模組136可移除上行訊務封包中隧道協定的標頭(甚至更外層的IP標頭),並轉送剩餘封包至內部伺服器30。若已過期,則上行訊務封包可送至核心網路40。In one embodiment, the domain network address corresponds to a specific survival time. The local
以下依序進一步說明本地卸載條件資訊的建立、信令分析、DNS解析及本地卸載判斷。The following further describes the establishment of local uninstallation condition information, signaling analysis, DNS resolution, and local uninstallation judgment in order.
圖3是依據本發明的一實施例的卸載條件設定的流程圖。請參照圖3,本地卸載條件設定模組135等待設定人員設定用戶權限供裝資訊,設定人員取得用戶授權資料後進入本地卸載條件設定模組135所提供的使用者介面修改用戶權限供裝資訊(含門號、APN、基地台網路位址、網址、目的地網路位址等用戶資訊,並相關於前述本地卸載權限) (步驟S310)。需說明的是,所有欄位並非必填,填寫詳細程度決定條件嚴苛程度。本地卸載條件設定模組135可將門號、APN、基地台網路位址等用戶資訊儲存於本地卸載條件資訊。例如,表(1)是一範例說明本地卸載條件資訊:
表(1)
本地卸載條件設定模組135可依據新增或刪除的網址資訊設定本地卸載條件資訊(步驟S340),並進一步將網址資訊更新至網域名稱系統解析模組134(步驟S350,針對新增特定網址資訊),或對網域名稱系統解析模組134發出刪除指令(步驟S355,針對刪除網址資訊)。網址資訊例如是www.cht.com、www.chtlearn.com等網域名稱。The local uninstallation
本地卸載條件設定模組135可依據新增或刪除的目的地網路位址資訊設定本地卸載條件資訊(步驟S360),並進一步將目的地網路位址資訊更新至本地卸載判斷模組136(步驟S370)。此外,本地卸載條件設定模組135可依據用戶授權資料進行用戶供裝資訊之刪除、新增與修改等操作,更新完成後,行動用戶上網時便可生效。The local uninstallation
圖4是依據本發明的一實施例的信令擷取分析的流程圖。請參照圖4,信令擷取分析模組131判斷封包類型(步驟S410)。若是接收到來自核心網路40的一筆或更多筆第一信令(以下將以S11介面的GTP-C封包為例,但不以此類型為限)(步驟S421),第一信令擷取分析模組132可自這些第一信令中關於創建會談(create session)的封包(例如,CreateSession Request(要求)及Response(回應)封包)取得對應的門號、存取點名稱、以及用戶網路位址(步驟S424及S425)。接著,第一信令擷取分析模組132還可自這些第一信令中關於修改承載(modify bearer)的封包(例如,ModifyBearer Request及Response封包)取得對應的端點識別碼、門號、存取點名稱、基地台網路位址、以及用戶網路位址,並據以將這些用戶資訊儲存至全網用戶資料表(步驟S426及S427)。例如,表(2)是一範例說明用戶資訊:
表(2)
另一方面,而若是接收到來自行動網路20的基地台的一筆或更多筆第二信令(以下將以S1介面的S1-AP封包為例,但不以此類型為限)(步驟S431),第二信令擷取分析模組133可自這些第二信令中取得起始上下文建立(initial context setup)的封包(例如InitialContext SetupRequest封包)(步驟S432),並自此封包得到用戶設備10的端點識別碼(例如,TEID,且其數值例如是789456、567891等,但不以此為限)(步驟S433),再透過此端點識別碼查找全網用戶資料表資料對應的APN、門號、用戶網路位址、基地台網路位址等用戶資訊(步驟S451及S452)。接著,信令擷取分析模組131可將這些組合(即,端點識別碼)與本地卸載條件表資訊進行比對(步驟S453),以判斷此端點識別碼是否符合本地卸載權限。信令擷取分析模組131可並依據比對結果(符合本地卸載權限的情況下)將此端點識別碼傳送給本地卸載判斷模組136(步驟S454)。反之(未符合),則無須對本地卸載判斷模組136更新。此外,若收到第二信令擷取分析模組133自這些第二信令中取得關於用戶設備上下文釋放的封包(例如,UEContextRelease封包)(步驟S434),則將通知本地卸載判斷模組136刪除其端點識別碼對應的用戶資訊(步驟S435)。On the other hand, if one or more second signaling is received from the base station of the mobile network 20 (the following will take the S1-AP packet of the S1 interface as an example, but it is not limited to this type) (step S431). The second signaling capture and
圖5是依據本發明的一實施例的網域名稱系統(DNS)解析的流程圖。請參照圖5,圖中左半邊部分負責處理來自本地卸載條件設定模組135的資訊。若網域名稱系統解析模組134接收到新增的網址資訊(即,所欲新增的網域名稱)(步驟S514),則儲存至本地卸載之網域名稱與(網域)網路網址對照表(步驟S515)。若網域名稱系統解析模組134接收到刪除的網址資訊(即,所欲刪除的網域名稱)(步驟S511),則到網域名稱與網路網址對照表中查詢此欲刪除網域名稱對應之網路位址(步驟S512),並發出刪除此網路位址的刪除指令到本地卸載判斷模組136(步驟S513)。另一方面,圖中右半邊部分為處理來自核心網路40之下行訊務封包(下文以GTP-U下行封包為例,但不以此為限)。若網域名稱系統解析模組134接收到欲傳送給某一用戶設備10的GTP-U下行封包(步驟S521),則判斷此封包是否為網域名稱系統(DNS)中用於查詢網域的回應封包(步驟S522)。若是回應封包,則網域名稱系統解析模組134判斷此回應封包所夾帶的網域名稱是否存在於需進行本地卸載之網域名稱表(記錄於本地卸載條件資訊)中(即,是否可本地卸載)(步驟S523)。若存在於需進行本地卸載之網域名稱表,則網域名稱系統解析模組134取得並回傳對應網域網路位址及其存活時間(例如,TTL(Time To Live))給本地卸載判斷模組136(以供本地卸載判斷模組136依據此網域網路位址及存活時間判斷是否轉送上行訊務封包),並將網域網路位址及其存活時間等資訊儲存至網域名稱與網路網址對照表(步驟S524及S525)。例如,表(3)是一範例說明網域名稱與網路網址對照表:
表(3)
圖6是依據本發明的一實施例的本地卸載判斷的流程圖。請參照圖6,圖中左半邊為處理來自各模組傳遞過來資料。若接收來自信令擷取分析模組131的指令及其端點識別碼(步驟S611),則本地卸載判斷模組136判斷指令是新增或是刪除指令(步驟S612)。若是新增指令,則本地卸載判斷模組136自本地卸載條件資訊中新增可本地卸載的端點識別碼(步驟S613);若是刪除指令,則本地卸載判斷模組136自本地卸載條件資訊中刪除可本地卸載的端點識別碼(步驟S614)。Fig. 6 is a flowchart of a local uninstallation judgment according to an embodiment of the present invention. Please refer to Figure 6. The left half of the figure is for processing the data transferred from each module. If the command and its endpoint identification code are received from the signaling capture analysis module 131 (step S611), the local
若接收來自本地卸載條件設定模組135的指令及其目的地網路位址(步驟S621),則本地卸載判斷模組136判斷此指令是新增或是刪除指令(步驟S622)。若是新增指令,則本地卸載判斷模組136自本地卸載條件資訊中新增可本地卸載的目的地網路位址(步驟S623) ;若是刪除指令,則本地卸載判斷模組136自本地卸載條件資訊中移除可本地卸載的目的地網路位址(步驟S624)。If a command and its destination network address are received from the local uninstallation condition setting module 135 (step S621), the local
若接收來自網域名稱系統解析模組134的指令及其網域網路網址及存活時間(步驟S631),則本地卸載判斷模組136判斷指令是新增或是刪除指令(步驟S632)。若是新增指令,則本地卸載判斷模組136自本地卸載條件資訊中新增可本地卸載的網域網路網址及其存活時間(步驟S633);若是刪除指令,則本地卸載判斷模組136自本地卸載條件資訊中刪除可本地卸載的網域網路網址及其存活時間(步驟S634)。If the command from the domain name
另一方面,圖中右半邊為處理用戶的GTP-U上行封包(即,上行訊務封包的一種範例,但不以此為限)。本地卸載判斷模組136接收GTP-U上行封包後(步驟S651),自封包中取出端點識別碼並查表(例如,本地卸載條件資訊)判斷是否需本地卸載(步驟S652)。若需要本地卸載,則本地卸載判斷模組136比對封包內層所記載的目的地網路位址是否為須本地卸載之網路位址(步驟S653),並判斷此目的地網路位址的存活時間是否已過期(步驟S655)。若無過期,則本地卸載判斷模組136可移除外層IP及GTP欄位以進行本地卸載(步驟S657),並將剩餘封包轉送往對應的本地卸載服務端(即,內部伺服器30)(步驟S658)。另一方面,若已過期,則本地卸載判斷模組136可刪除對應的網路位址資訊(步驟S656),並將此GTP-U上行封包往核心網路40的S-GW傳送(步驟S654)(即,無須本地卸載)。On the other hand, the right half of the figure is processing the user's GTP-U uplink packet (that is, an example of uplink traffic packet, but not limited to this).
