- Embodiments of the present invention disclose a data request processing method and apparatus based on a wireless communications network, where a core invention point of the method and the apparatus lies in that: when a data request message of a terminal is received, a current network status is acquired from a policy and charging rules function entity (Policy and Charging Rules Function, PCRF) on a wireless communications network side, so as to determine a data request processing instruction and process a data request message of the terminal. Therefore, a processing manner for the data request message can be determined according to a network status of the wireless communications network, so that the network status of the wireless communications network can be used in real time during data transmission.
- Policy and Charging Rules Function PCRF
- a data request processing method based on a wireless communications network may include the following steps.
- S 101 Send a service quality request message to a PCRF when a data request message of a terminal is received.
- the data request processing instruction is determined according to a current network status, and the current network status is obtained by means of querying by the PCRF according to the received service quality request message.
- a specific implementation manner of this step may include: receiving the data request processing instruction sent from the PCRF.
- the PCRF after receiving the service quality request message, the PCRF queries the current network status; determines the data request processing instruction according to the current network status and a data parameter that is carried in the data request message sent from a sending party of the data request message; and sends the data request processing instruction to the sending party of the service quality request message.
- another specific implementation manner of this step may include: receiving a message that indicates the current network status and is sent from the PCRF; and determining the data request processing instruction according to the current network status and a data parameter that is carried in the data request message.
- the PCRF when receiving the service quality request message, the PCRF queries the current network status and sends the current network status to a sending party of the service quality request message; and the sending party of the service quality request message determines the data request processing instruction according to the current network status.
- the data request processing instruction determines whether current network traffic of a cell in which the terminal is located is greater than a preset congestion threshold, it indicates that usage of resources of the cell tends to be saturated, and then, the data request processing instruction is determined as: an instruction for instructing to request data whose preset bit rate is less than a bit rate carried in the data request message, or an instruction for instructing to switch a data transmission channel to a wireless local area network.
- S 103 Process a data request message of the terminal according to the data request processing instruction.
- content of the data request processing instruction determined in S 102 is: requesting the data whose preset bit rate is less than the bit rate carried in the data request message
- data whose bit rate is the preset bit rate is requested from a server, and the data whose bit rate is the preset bit rate and sent from the server is forwarded to the terminal by using a gateway.
- the server is generally used to receive the data request message of the terminal forwarded by the gateway; respond to the data request message; and send data requested by the terminal to the terminal.
- the method described in this embodiment may be implemented by an apparatus independently disposed on a network side of a wireless communications network, or may be implemented by a newly added function module integrated in a gateway of a wireless communications network.
- the terminal determines a data parameter according to a network environment in which the terminal is located. For example, when the terminal requests a video service from the wireless communications network, the terminal determines a bit rate of a video according to a current network environment.
- a parameter determined by the terminal cannot be adaptive to a current network status in real time. For example, a cell in which the terminal is located enters a critical state of congestion, but the terminal does not obtain the change in the status of the cell and still requests a high-definition video from the wireless communications network. In this case, congestion of the cell is caused.
- a data request message of a terminal when a data request message of a terminal is received by a wireless communications network, the data request message is not processed directly, instead, the data request message is used as a trigger condition to trigger sending of a service quality request message to a PCRF; a current network status is acquired, and the current network status is used as a basis to determine a data request processing instruction; and a data request message of the terminal is processed according to the data request processing instruction. It can be learned that, processing on the data request message of the terminal is no longer based on only a data parameter carried in the data request message sent from the terminal, but also based on the current network status. Therefore, processing on a data service requested by the terminal can be adaptive to the current network status.
- FIG. 2 another data request processing method based on a wireless communications network according to an embodiment of the present invention is applied to a PCRF in the wireless communications network and may include the following steps.
- the service quality request message is sent from a sending party when the sending party receives a data request message of a terminal.
- S 202 Query a current network status according to the service quality request message, so as to acquire a data request processing instruction according to the current network status and process a data request message of the terminal according to the data request processing instruction.
- the PCRF may determine the data request processing instruction according to the current network status and a data parameter that is carried in the data request message sent from the sending party, and send the data request processing instruction to the sending party of the data request message; or the PCRF may send the current network status to the sending party of the service quality request message, and the sending party determines the data request processing instruction according to the current network status and a data parameter that is carried in the data request message, and processes the data request message of the terminal according to the data request processing instruction.
- the sending party determines the data request processing instruction according to the current network status and a data parameter that is carried in the data request message, and processes the data request message of the terminal according to the data request processing instruction.
- determining the data request processing instruction according to the current network status and the data parameter that is carried in the data request message sent from the sending party specifically includes: if current network traffic of a cell in which the terminal is located is greater than a preset congestion threshold, determining an instruction for instructing to request data whose preset bit rate is less than a bit rate carried in the data request message as the data request processing instruction; or if current network traffic of a cell in which the terminal is located is greater than a preset congestion threshold, determining an instruction for instructing to switch a data transmission channel to a wireless local area network as the data request processing instruction.

- the Service Proxy After receiving the file related to the video media description, the Service Proxy detects a video service event and forwards, to the SP server, the file related to the video media description.
- S 308 The UE sends a video request message to the P-GW, where a bit rate of a requested video file may be A.
- the Service Proxy After receiving the video request message of the UE, the Service Proxy sends a QoS request message to the PCRF.
- Parameters such as a video length, definition, and a bit rate that are requested are generally carried in the QoS request message.

It is assumed that APP2 is a video service type, the PCRF sets that 30% resources are allocated to a video service in a same cell, and sets a congestion threshold. If resource occupied by a video service in a same cell reaches the set congestion threshold, it is considered that there is no enough resource to be provided for a video service of this type.
- the PCRF sends an instruction for instructing to request a video whose bit rate is B to the Service Proxy.
- the PCRF gives, according to service information and user information, a corresponding instruction to a video stream in AAA answer Media-Component-Description AVP.

- S 314 The Service Proxy sends a message for requesting the video whose bit rate is B to the SP server.
- the Service Proxy may refuse a video request, and a specific process is as follows.
- 3xx state returned by using HTTP in the prior art may be used or extended to indicate or define new HTTP state code that is used to indicate a network status.
- 601 indicates that a network is congested and cannot support a service, and is used to refuse a video request of a terminal
- a newly added Service Proxy interacts with a PCRF, so that a current network status can be acquired, and a data request processing manner can be determined.

- the preset bit rate is less than a bit rate carried in the data request message.
- the Service Proxy may implement, by extending a URL of an HTTP request, requesting the video whose bit rate is B from the SP server, where a method is as follows: A network adds corresponding parameter information into the URL, so as to give an instruction related to a network status, for example, a bit rate change instruction in a congestion scenario in this embodiment.
- Inserted parameter information needs to be expressed by using a WebAPI description language (such as WADL: Web Application Description Language), so that a network entity can normally parse the inserted parameter information.
- a WebAPI description language such as WADL: Web Application Description Language
- the SP server may add URL information into which a network parameter is inserted to an HTTP answer message by using a Content-Location header field, where the URL information is used to notify a client that a bit rate is changed due to network congestion.

Abstract
According to a method and apparatus for controlling data transmission in a wireless communications network, a service quality request message is sent to a PCRF when a data request message of a terminal is received; and the PCRF queries a current network status, so as to determine a processing instruction for a data request message of the terminal according to the current network status and the data request message, and process the data request message of the terminal according to the processing instruction. Therefore, processing on the data request message of the terminal not only depends on a parameter carried in the data request message of the terminal, but also uses the current network status as a constraint condition, so that a processing manner for the data request message can be adaptive to a real-time change of the wireless communications network.
Description
- This application is a continuation of U.S. application Ser. No. 14/950,049, filed on Nov. 24, 2015, which is a continuation of International Application No. PCT/CN2013/076460, filed on May 30, 2013, All of the afore-mentioned patent applications are hereby incorporated by reference in their entireties.
- The present invention relates to the field of wireless communications, and in particular, to a data request processing method and apparatus based on a wireless communications network.
- With the rapid development of a wireless communications network, various data services are continuously flooding into the wireless communications network by means of the internet. After a bit rate adaptation technology is transplanted from the internet to the wireless communications network, a terminal still performs signal detection, and determines a parameter of requested data according to a detection result. After receiving a data request message of the terminal, a network side provides data for the terminal according to the parameter determined by the terminal For example, when the terminal requests a video service from the network side, the terminal determines a bit rate of a requested video according to detected signal strength of a cell. When detecting that the signal strength of the cell is relatively strong, the terminal requests a high-definition video, and after receiving a request message of the terminal, the network side provides the high-definition video for the terminal; or when detecting that the signal strength of the cell is relatively weak, the terminal requests a standard-definition video, and after receiving a request message of the terminal, the network side provides the standard-definition video for the terminal
- Compared with the internet, a communication environment of a wireless communications network changes frequently and sharply. For this reason, a terminal cannot obtain a change of a wireless network environment in real time. Therefore, an existing method for processing a data request message of a terminal by a network side is not appropriate for a wireless communications network. For example, the wireless communications network suddenly enters a critical state of congestion, but the terminal does not obtain this in time; therefore, when a high-definition video is requested, a network layer still provides the high-definition video for the terminal, which is undoubtedly easy to cause congestion of the wireless communications network.

FIG. 13 is a schematic structural diagram of a policy and charging rules function entity according to an embodiment of the present invention. - Embodiments of the present invention disclose a data request processing method and apparatus based on a wireless communications network, where a core invention point of the method and the apparatus lies in that: when a data request message of a terminal is received, a current network status is acquired from a policy and charging rules function entity (Policy and Charging Rules Function, PCRF) on a wireless communications network side, so as to determine a data request processing instruction and process a data request message of the terminal. Therefore, a processing manner for the data request message can be determined according to a network status of the wireless communications network, so that the network status of the wireless communications network can be used in real time during data transmission.
- As shown in
FIG. 1 , a data request processing method based on a wireless communications network according to an embodiment of the present invention may include the following steps. - S101: Send a service quality request message to a PCRF when a data request message of a terminal is received.
- S102: Acquire a data request processing instruction.
- In this embodiment, the data request processing instruction is determined according to a current network status, and the current network status is obtained by means of querying by the PCRF according to the received service quality request message.
- Specifically, a specific implementation manner of this step may include: receiving the data request processing instruction sent from the PCRF.
- That is, after receiving the service quality request message, the PCRF queries the current network status; determines the data request processing instruction according to the current network status and a data parameter that is carried in the data request message sent from a sending party of the data request message; and sends the data request processing instruction to the sending party of the service quality request message.
- Alternatively, another specific implementation manner of this step may include: receiving a message that indicates the current network status and is sent from the PCRF; and determining the data request processing instruction according to the current network status and a data parameter that is carried in the data request message.
- That is, when receiving the service quality request message, the PCRF queries the current network status and sends the current network status to a sending party of the service quality request message; and the sending party of the service quality request message determines the data request processing instruction according to the current network status.
- No matter which party determines the data request processing instruction, if current network traffic of a cell in which the terminal is located is greater than a preset congestion threshold, it indicates that usage of resources of the cell tends to be saturated, and then, the data request processing instruction is determined as: an instruction for instructing to request data whose preset bit rate is less than a bit rate carried in the data request message, or an instruction for instructing to switch a data transmission channel to a wireless local area network.
- S103: Process a data request message of the terminal according to the data request processing instruction.
- If content of the data request processing instruction determined in S102 is: requesting the data whose preset bit rate is less than the bit rate carried in the data request message, in S103, data whose bit rate is the preset bit rate is requested from a server, and the data whose bit rate is the preset bit rate and sent from the server is forwarded to the terminal by using a gateway. In the prior art, the server is generally used to receive the data request message of the terminal forwarded by the gateway; respond to the data request message; and send data requested by the terminal to the terminal.
- The method described in this embodiment may be implemented by an apparatus independently disposed on a network side of a wireless communications network, or may be implemented by a newly added function module integrated in a gateway of a wireless communications network.
- In the prior art, when a terminal requests a data service from a wireless communications network, generally, the terminal determines a data parameter according to a network environment in which the terminal is located. For example, when the terminal requests a video service from the wireless communications network, the terminal determines a bit rate of a video according to a current network environment. However, generally an air interface of the wireless communications network changes frequently and sharply, so that the terminal cannot obtain a change of a wireless air interface in real time. Therefore, a parameter determined by the terminal cannot be adaptive to a current network status in real time. For example, a cell in which the terminal is located enters a critical state of congestion, but the terminal does not obtain the change in the status of the cell and still requests a high-definition video from the wireless communications network. In this case, congestion of the cell is caused.
- However, according to the method described in this embodiment, when a data request message of a terminal is received by a wireless communications network, the data request message is not processed directly, instead, the data request message is used as a trigger condition to trigger sending of a service quality request message to a PCRF; a current network status is acquired, and the current network status is used as a basis to determine a data request processing instruction; and a data request message of the terminal is processed according to the data request processing instruction. It can be learned that, processing on the data request message of the terminal is no longer based on only a data parameter carried in the data request message sent from the terminal, but also based on the current network status. Therefore, processing on a data service requested by the terminal can be adaptive to the current network status.
- Corresponding to the foregoing embodiment, as shown in
FIG. 2 , another data request processing method based on a wireless communications network according to an embodiment of the present invention is applied to a PCRF in the wireless communications network and may include the following steps. - S201: Receive a service quality request message.
- The service quality request message is sent from a sending party when the sending party receives a data request message of a terminal.
- S202: Query a current network status according to the service quality request message, so as to acquire a data request processing instruction according to the current network status and process a data request message of the terminal according to the data request processing instruction.
- Specifically, the PCRF may determine the data request processing instruction according to the current network status and a data parameter that is carried in the data request message sent from the sending party, and send the data request processing instruction to the sending party of the data request message; or the PCRF may send the current network status to the sending party of the service quality request message, and the sending party determines the data request processing instruction according to the current network status and a data parameter that is carried in the data request message, and processes the data request message of the terminal according to the data request processing instruction. For a specific process of determining the data request processing instruction by the sending party, reference is made to the description in the foregoing embodiment, and details are not described herein.
- In this embodiment, determining the data request processing instruction according to the current network status and the data parameter that is carried in the data request message sent from the sending party specifically includes: if current network traffic of a cell in which the terminal is located is greater than a preset congestion threshold, determining an instruction for instructing to request data whose preset bit rate is less than a bit rate carried in the data request message as the data request processing instruction; or if current network traffic of a cell in which the terminal is located is greater than a preset congestion threshold, determining an instruction for instructing to switch a data transmission channel to a wireless local area network as the data request processing instruction.
- According to the method described in this embodiment, a PCRF of a wireless communications network queries a network status so as to determine a processing instruction of a data request message of a terminal, so that processing on a data request can be adaptive to a status of the wireless communications network.
- In the following, video data is used as an example to describe in detail the methods described in the foregoing embodiments.
- A data request processing method based on a wireless communications network according to an embodiment of the present invention is applied in the following scenario: A service node Service Proxy is added in the wireless communications network, and the method shown in
FIG. 1 is executed by the newly added service node service proxy, where the service proxy may be connected to a PCRF through an Rx interface. As shown inFIG. 3 , the method may include the following steps. - S301: Establish a default bearer between a terminal (User Equipment, UE) and a packet data network gateway (PDN Gateway, P-GW).
- S302: The UE requests, from a server SP server, a file related to a video media description.
- S303: After detecting a request of the UE, the P-GW forwards the request to the Service Proxy.
- S304: After receiving the file related to the video media description, the Service Proxy detects a video service event and forwards, to the SP server, the file related to the video media description.
- S305: The SP server returns a response to the file related to the video media description.
- S306: The Service Proxy forwards, to the P-GW, the response to the file related to the video media description.
- S307: The P-GW forwards, to the UE, the response to the file related to the video media description.
- S308: The UE sends a video request message to the P-GW, where a bit rate of a requested video file may be A.
- S309: The P-GW forwards the video request message of the UE to the Service Proxy.
- S310: After receiving the video request message of the UE, the Service Proxy sends a QoS request message to the PCRF.
- Parameters such as a video length, definition, and a bit rate that are requested are generally carried in the QoS request message.
- Specifically, the Service proxy may provide service information for the PCRF and request a control policy by using an AAR message, where a format of the AAR message is as follows:
-
<AA-Request> ::= < Diameter Header: 265, REQ, PXY > < Session-Id > { Auth-Application-Id } { Origin-Host } { Origin-Realm } { Destination-Realm } [ Destination-Host ] [ IP-Domain-Id ] [ AF-Application-Identifier ] *[ Media-Component-Description ] [ Service-Info-Status ] [ AF-Charging-Identifier ] [ SIP-Forking-Instruction ] *[ Specific-Action ] *[ Subscription-Id ] *[ Supported-Features ] [ Reservation-Priority ] [ Framed-IP-Address ] [ Framed-IPv6-Prefix ] [ Called-Station-Id ] [ Service-URN ] [ Sponsored-Connectivity-Data ] [ MPS-Identifier ] [ Rx-Request-Type ] *[ Required-Access-Info ] [ Origin-State-Id ] *[ Proxy-Info ] *[ Route-Record ] *[ AVP ] - The Service proxy provides video-related service information in Media-Component-Description AVP. Media-Component-Description AVP needs to be extended, and [Media-Bitrate-Suggestion] that is used to indicate information about a bit rate suggested by the PCRF is added.
- A format of Media-Component-Description AVP is:
-
Media-Component-Description ::= < AVP Header: 517 > { Media-Component-Number }; Ordinal number of the media comp. *[ Media-Sub-Component ]; Set of flows for one flow identifier [ AF-Application-Identifier ] [ Media-Type ] [ Max-Requested-Bandwidth-UL ] [ Max-Requested-Bandwidth-DL ] [ Min-Requested-Bandwidth-UL ] [ Min-Requested-Bandwidth-DL ] [ Media-Bitrate-Suggestion ] [ Flow-Status ] [ Reservation-Priority ] [ RS-Bandwidth ] [ RR-Bandwidth ] *[ Codec-Data ] - S311: After receiving the QoS request message, the PCRF queries a current network status.
- S312: If the PCRF determines that current network traffic of a cell in which the terminal is located is greater than a preset congestion threshold, the PCRF determines an instruction for instructing to request a video whose bit rate is a preset bit rate as a data request processing instruction.
- The preset bit rate is less than a bit rate carried in the video request message.
- The PCRF may determine information about used and unused resources in a same cell according to an ID of the UE and an ID of the cell, so as to determine, according to a set congestion threshold, whether the cell is congested; or the PCRF may distinguish different applications and distinguish different instances of a same application type according to application types and application ID information. It is assumed that APP2 is a video service type, the PCRF sets that 30% resources are allocated to a video service in a same cell, and sets a congestion threshold. If resource occupied by a video service in a same cell reaches the set congestion threshold, it is considered that there is no enough resource to be provided for a video service of this type.
- S313: The PCRF sends an instruction for instructing to request a video whose bit rate is B to the Service Proxy.
- Specifically, the PCRF gives, according to service information and user information, a corresponding instruction to a video stream in AAA answer Media-Component-Description AVP.
- A format of an AAA message is as follows:
-
< AA-Answer > ::= < Diameter Header: 265, PXY > < Session-Id > { Auth-Application-Id } { Origin-Host } { Origin-Realm } [ Result-Code ] [ Experimental-Result ] *[ Access-Network-Charging-Identifier ] [ Access-Network-Charging-Address ] [ Acceptable-Service-Info ] [ IP-CAN-Type ] [ RAT-Type ] *[ Flows ] *[ Supported-Features ] *[ Class ] [ Error-Message ] [ Error-Reporting-Host ] *[ Failed-AVP ] [ Origin-State-Id ] *[ Redirect-Host ] [ Redirect-Host-Usage ] [ Redirect-Max-Cache-Time ] *[ Proxy-Info ] *[ AVP ] - S314: The Service Proxy sends a message for requesting the video whose bit rate is B to the SP server.
- S315: The SP server returns the video whose bit rate is B to the Service Proxy.
- S316: The Service Proxy forwards the video whose bit rate is B to the P-GW.
- S317: The P-GW forwards the video whose bit rate is B to the UE.
- In this embodiment, in addition to reducing a bit rate of a required video, the Service Proxy may refuse a video request, and a specific process is as follows.
- When network resources are not enough to provide a video service for a user, 3xx state returned by using HTTP in the prior art may be used or extended to indicate or define new HTTP state code that is used to indicate a network status. For example, 601 indicates that a network is congested and cannot support a service, and is used to refuse a video request of a terminal
- According to the method described in this embodiment, a newly added Service Proxy interacts with a PCRF, so that a current network status can be acquired, and a data request processing manner can be determined. Therefore, when a network cannot support data requested by a terminal, an adjustment can be made on a network side in time, so that a data transmission process can be adaptive to a network status.
- It should be noted that, in the method described in this embodiment, a function implemented by the service node Service Proxy may be implemented by a gateway in an existing wireless communications network, that is, an existing gateway is improved to implement the function of the Service Proxy on a basis of implementing a gateway function. In this embodiment, a purpose of using a newly added service node lies in that: determining a data request according to a status of a wireless communications network can be implemented by using only a newly added service node in the existing wireless communications network without a need of changing another device.
- Another data request processing method based on a wireless communications network according to an embodiment of the present invention is applied in the following scenario: A service node Service Proxy is added in the wireless communications network, and the method shown in
FIG. 1 is executed by the newly added service node Service Proxy. As shown inFIG. 4 , the method may include the following steps. - S401: Establish a default bearer between a terminal (User Equipment, UE) and a packet data network gateway (PDN Gateway, P-GW).
- S402: The UE requests, from a server SP server, a file related to a video media description.
- S403: After detecting a request of the UE, the P-GW forwards the request to the Service Proxy.
- S404: After receiving the file related to the video media description, the Service Proxy detects a video service event and forwards, to the SP server, the file related to the video media description.
- S405: The SP server returns a response to the file related to the video media description.
- S406: The Service Proxy forwards, to the P-GW, the response to the file related to the video media description.
- S407: The P-GW forwards, to the UE, the response to the file related to the video media description.
- S408: The UE requests video data.
- S409: The P-GW forwards a video request message of the UE to the Service Proxy.
- S410: After receiving the video request message of the UE, the Service Proxy sends a QoS request message to a PCRF.
- S411: After receiving the QoS request message, the PCRF queries a current network status.
- S412: The PCRF sends the current network status to the Service Proxy.
- S413: If the Service Proxy determines that current network traffic of a cell in which the terminal is located is greater than a preset congestion threshold, the Service Proxy determines an instruction for instructing to request a video whose bit rate is a preset bit rate B as a data request processing instruction.
- The preset bit rate is less than a bit rate carried in the data request message.
- S414: The Service Proxy requests the video whose bit rate is B from the SP server.
- In this embodiment, specifically, the Service Proxy may implement, by extending a URL of an HTTP request, requesting the video whose bit rate is B from the SP server, where a method is as follows: A network adds corresponding parameter information into the URL, so as to give an instruction related to a network status, for example, a bit rate change instruction in a congestion scenario in this embodiment.
- Specific implementation is as follows:
-
- http://Server.example.com/media_A.mp4?Networkstate=LightCongestion, SuggestBitrate=B.
- Inserted parameter information needs to be expressed by using a WebAPI description language (such as WADL: Web Application Description Language), so that a network entity can normally parse the inserted parameter information.
- S415: The SP server returns the video whose bit rate is B to the Service Proxy.
- In this embodiment, the SP server may add URL information into which a network parameter is inserted to an HTTP answer message by using a Content-Location header field, where the URL information is used to notify a client that a bit rate is changed due to network congestion.
- Specific implementation is as follows:
-
- Content-Location:http://Server.example.com/media_A.mp4?Networkstate=Light Congestion, SuggestBitrate=B.
- S416: The Service Proxy forwards the video whose bit rate is B to the P-GW.
- S417: The P-GW forwards the video whose bit rate is B to the UE.
- It should be noted that, the foregoing description is based on that a specific case of a network status is that the current network traffic of the cell in which the terminal is located is greater than the preset congestion threshold. In addition, if the current network status is that the network traffic of the cell in which the terminal is located is not greater than the preset congestion threshold, that is, the current cell can support data requested by the terminal, the Service Proxy can directly forward a video request message to the SP server. For the PCRF shown in
FIG. 3 , a determined data request processing instruction may be used to process a video request of the terminal according to the video request message. - According to the method described in this embodiment, a Service Proxy has a function of processing a date request of a terminal according to a current network status, so that a response to data requested by the terminal can be more adaptive to a characteristic of a wireless network environment change.
- Still another data request processing method based on a wireless communications network according to an embodiment of the present invention is applied in the following scenario: A service node Service Proxy is added in the wireless communications network, and the method shown in
FIG. 1 is executed by the newly added service node Service Proxy. As shown inFIG. 5 , the method may include the following steps. - S501: Establish a default bearer between a terminal (User Equipment, UE) and a packet data network gateway (PDN Gateway, P-GW).
- S502: The UE requests, from a server SP server, a file related to a video media description.
- S503: After detecting a request of the UE, the P-GW forwards the request to the Service Proxy.
- S504: After receiving the file related to the video media description, the Service Proxy detects a video service event and forwards, to the SP server, the file related to the video media description.
- S505: The SP server returns a response to the file related to the video media description.
- S506: The Service Proxy forwards, to the P-GW, the response to the file related to the video media description.
- S507: The P-GW forwards, to the UE, the response to the file related to the video media description.
- S508: The UE requests video data.
- S509: The P-GW forwards a video request message of the UE to the Service Proxy.
- S510: After receiving the video request message of the UE, the Service Proxy sends a QoS request message to a PCRF.
- S511: After receiving the QoS request message, the PCRF queries a current network status.
- S512: If the PCRF determines that current network traffic of a cell in which the terminal is located is greater than a preset congestion threshold, the PCRF determines an instruction for instructing to switch a data transmission channel to a wireless local area network as a data request processing instruction.
- S513: The PCRF sends the instruction for instructing to switch a data transmission channel to a wireless local area network.
- In this embodiment, the PCRF may acquire an access manner, such as LTE or WLAN, of the UE from the P-GW. After the PCRF acquires service information from the Server Proxy, with reference to information of a user, if the PCRF determines that a wireless network in which the UE is currently located cannot provide a service requested by the UE, a handover from LTE to WLAN is executed. The PCRF may send a handover instruction to the P-GW. The handover instruction can be carried by extending AVP of a CCA message sent from the PCRF to the P-GW.
