进行网络直播电视业务频道授权的方法、 系统及装置 技术领域
本发明涉及网络直播电视业务技术领域, 特别是进行网络直播电视 业务频道授权的方法、 系统及装置。 发明背景
随着因特网技术的发展, 近年来迅速发展起来了将传统电视业务引 入到因特网协议(IP ) 网络中的网络直播电视业务。
在传统的网络直播电视业务中, 用户设备通过发送因特网组管理协 议( IGMP ) 消息给网络侧邻近用户的组播路由器, 请求频道的加入或 者离开, 例如: 通过 IGMP加入(Join ) 消息请求观看某个电视频道, 组播路由器收到 IGMP加入消息后转发相应的频道节目给用户设备; 通 过 IGMP离开(Leave )消息停止观看某个频道, 组播路由器根据收到的 IGMP离开消息停止向用户设备转发节目。
下一代网络(NGN ) 于分组技术的综合型网络, 以分组交换为 主, 采用承载与控制分离的架构。 NGN 继承了原有公用电话交换网 ( PSTN )的所有业务, 同时也继承了移动网络的业务能力。 因此, NGN 综合了固定电话网、 移动电话网和 IP网络的优势, 使得模拟用户、 数字 用户、 移动用户、 非对称数字用户线路(ADSL )用户、 综合业务数字 网 (ISDN )用户、 IP窄带网络用户、 IP宽带网络用户甚至是通过卫星 接入的用户都能作为 NGN中的一员相互通信。
如图 1所示, NGN网络采用分层架构, 分为业务层和传送层(承载 层)。 业务层通过业务控制实体实现具体的业务, 传送层(承载层)通 过^载控制实体实现具体内容的传送。 IP 多媒体业务子系统(IMS )是第三代合作伙伴计划 (3GPP ) R5 或 R6标准定义的 NGN网络架构中的一个组件, 归属于业务控制功能。 IMS采用 IP分组域作为其控制信令和媒体传输的承载通道,采用会话发 起协议(SIP )作为呼叫控制信令, 实现了业务管理、 会话控制及承载接 入的三者分离。
另外, 现有的策略和计费控制 ( policy and charging control, PCC ) 架构如图 2所示。参见图 2, PCC架构包括: 订阅信息仓库(subscription Profile repository, SPR )、 应用功能实体 ( Application Function , AF )、 策略和计费规则功能实体( Policy and charging Rules Functions, PCRF ), 包括策略和计费规则功能实体 ( Policy and charging Enforcement Functions , PCEF )的网关( GW )、离线计费系统( Offline Charging System , OFCS ) 以及包括移动网络增强逻辑的客户化应用 ( Customized Application for Mobile network Enhanced Logic , CAMEL )业务控制点 ( SCP )和基于信用控制的服务数据流( Service Data Flow Based Credit Control ) 的在线计费系统 ( Online Charging System, OCS )。
传统的计费系统分为基于流的计费系统, 没有考虑计费中的策略控 制功能。 如图 2所示的 PCC系统中, 在基于流进行计费的基础上, 和策 略控制融合到一起。 此时 PCRF融合了策略决策功能实体(PDF ) 的功 能, 进行策略控制。 具体的业务相关信息通过 SPR获取。 SPR存储用户 的订阅信息, 相当于承载层的数据库。
另外, 数字用户线路(xDSL )是目前常用的一种宽带接入方式, 其 中常见的有非对称数字用户线路(ADSL )等。 xDSL网络中主要有两种 接入设备: 数字用户线路接入复用器(DSLAM )和宽带远程接入服务 器(BRAS ), 负责把用户接入到网络中。 这两种设备对应到 NGN网络 中, 都属于承载层设备。 如图 3所示, 在现有系统中, 终端设备直接通过向组播路由器发送
IGMP加入或者离开请求来加入或退出某个频道, 网络中邻近用户终端 的组播路由器收到 IGMP加入请求后, 直接转发相应频道的节目给终端 设备, 并不对用户进行授权判断, 同样, 当组播路由器收到 IGMP离开 消息时, 如果发现该用户是最后一个收看该频道的用户, 则不再转发该 频道的节目, 也没有对用户进行授权判断。
由于用户通过 IGMP协议加入或者离开某个频道时, 组播路由器等 负责处理相关 IGMP消息的网络实体不对用户的 IGMP消息进行权限的 判别, 所以一个没有权限观看某个节目的用户, 可以通过发送 IMGP加 入消息而非法收看电视节目, 引起网络直播电视业务的盗用。 同样, 恶 意用户也可以通过发送 IGMP离开消息, 使得合法的用户无法继续观看 电视节目, 从而影响网络直播电视业务的正常部署, 降低了用户的业务 体验。 发明内容
有鉴于此, 本发明实施例提出了一种进行网络直播电视业务频道授 权的方法, 用以实现对网络直播电视业务频道请求的授权。 本发明实施 例的另一个目的在于, 提出一种进行网络直播电视业务频道授权的系 统。 本发明实施例的再一个目的是, 提出一种进行网络直播电视业务频 道授权的装置。
根据上述目的, 本发明实施例提供了一种网络进行直播电视业务频 道授权的方法, 该方法包括以下步骤:
授权实体在业务实体接收到终端设备对网络直播电视业务的频道请 求之后, 根据用户权限信息对所述频道请求进行授权判断;
授权实体在授权通过的情况下, 使承载实体执行终端设备的频道请 求。
本发明实施例还提供了一种进行网络直播电视业务频道授权的系 统, 该系统包括:
授权实体, 用于根据用户权限信息, 对终端设备的频道请求进行授 权判断;
承载实体, 用于在授权通过的情况下, 执行终端设备的频道请求。 本发明实施例还提供了一种进行网络直播电视业务频道授权的装 置, 该装置包括:
接收单元, 用于接收终端设备对网络直播电视业务的频道请求, 并 转发给授权判断单元;
授权判断单元, 用于根据用户权限信息对所述频道请求进行授权判 断。
从上述方案中可以看出, 由于本发明实施例基于 NGN 网络, 提出 了对网络直播电视业务的用户进行频道请求授权判断的方法、 系统和装 置。 通过本发明实施例的实施, 授权实体对频道请求进行授权, 在授权 通过的情况下才执行用户的频道请求, 否则决绝用户的频道请求, 避免 了现有技术中无权限用户非法收看频道节目的问题, 还能避免恶意发送 离开消息导致合法用户无法继续收看频道节目的问题。 因此, 本发明实 施例把 NGN网络的特点和网络直播电视业务的建立过程紧密结合到一 起, 解决了用户频道授权的问题, 为网络直播电视业务在 NGN网络中 的部署奠定了基础。 附图简要说明

为使本发明的目的、 技术方案和优点更加清楚, 以下举实施例对本 发明进一步详细说明。
由于在 NGN 中, 承载和业务相分离, 因此本发明实施例的核心思 想是, 业务层实体根据用户的频道请求获取用户权限信息, 并采用某种 用户标识进行标识索引, 然后将用户权限信息通过静态配置、 动态传送 给承载层实体, 承载层实体据此进行用户频道请求的判断, 即只对授权 的用户执行相应的频道请求, 拒绝未授权用户的频道请求。 另外, 本发 明实施例还可以由业务层实体直接进行用户频道请求的授权判断, 如果 授权通过, 则通知承载实体执行用户的频道请, 否则拒绝该用户的频道 请求。 也就是说, 在本发明实施例中, 授权实体可以是承载层实体, 也 可以是业务层实体, 授权实体根据用户权限信息对来自终端设备的频道 请求进行授权, 并在授权通过的情况下, 由承载实体执行终端设备的频 道请求。
如图 4所示, 根据本发明实施例的系统包括: 终端设备; 包括业务 实体和业务控制实体的业务层实体; 包括承载实体和承载控制实体的承 载层实体。 该系统还可以进一步包括与承载控制实体直接或者间接相连 接的数据库。 其中, 终端设备用于发起频道请求, 例如: 请求频道的节 目流、 离开频道或加入频道。 所述承载控制实体在电信和互联网融合业 务及高级网给协议 ( Telecommunications and Internet converged Services and Protocols for Advanced Networking , TISPAN ) 中为 SPDF 或者 A-RACF、 在 3GPP中为 PDF或者在 PCC系统中为 PCEF。 所述数据库 在 Tispan中为网络附着子系统( Network Attachment Sub-System, NASS ) 中的实体, 如 CLF、 PDBF; 或者为 RACF中的 SPDF, 或者 A-RACF; 或者为 PCC中的 SPR; 或者为与承载控制实体相连的独立的数据库。
与现有技术相比, 图 4中的各实体增加了一些功能。 业务实体增加 的功能有: 接收终端设备的频道请求, 以及获取用户权限信息。 业务控 制实体增加的功能有: 转发用户权限信息给承载控制实体, 以及进行业 务层标识和承载层标识的转换。 所述业务层标识如公有用户标识 ( IMPU )等, 所述承载层标识如 IP地址等。 承载控制实体增加的功能 有: 接收业务层下发用户权限信息, 进行用户权限信息和用户承载层频 道请求的关联, 以及进行用户授权的判断。 承载实体增加的功能有: 接 收业务层下发的用户权限信息, 进行用户权限信息和用户承载层频道请 求的关联, 以及进行用户授权的判断。 另外, 在现有技术的架构上还引 入了和承载控制实体直接或者间接相连的数据库, 该数据库主要用于存 储与用户对应的用户权限信息。
在如图 4所示的系统中, 业务实体与业务控制实体之间的 II接口、 业务控制实体与承载控制实体之间的 12接口、承载控制实体与承载实体 之间 13接口能够实现用户权限信息的查询与下发。承载控制实体与数据 库之间的 14接口能够实现用户权限信息的查询与响应。上述 II、 12、 13、 14接口可以是新增加的接口, 也可以是利用已有的接口实现上述功能。 基于上述架构, 本发明实施例给出两种承载层实体进行授权判断的 方式。
NGN网络环境中, 承载和业务分离, 业务层实体根据用户请求获取 用户的频道权限, 并采用某种用户标识进行标识索引。 该用户的频道权 限信息可以静态配置、 动态传送给承载层实体, 承载层实体据此进行用 户频道权限的判断, 即只对授权的用户执行相应的请求, 拒绝未授权用 户的请求。
具体的承载层实体可以为承载实体或者承载控制实体, 其中承载实 体如 DSLAM、: BRAS、通用分组无线服务( GPRS )网关支撑节点( GGSN )、 广播多播业务(BCMCS ) 支撑节点 ( BCMCS Support Node, BSN )、 IP 封装实体(IPE )等, 承载控制实体如业务策略决策功能实体(SPDF )、 策略决策功能(PDF ) 实体、 PCEF等。
图 5 所示的方式是将用户权限信息下发到承载实体这一承载层实 体。 而图 6所示的方式是将用户权限下发到数据库, 并由承载控制实体 进行授权判断。
图 5所示方式的流程如下:
步骤 101 , 终端设备通过业务控制实体向业务实体发起频道请求。 步骤 102, 业务实体获得具体的用户权限信息。
步骤 103, 业务实体通过承载控制实体向承载实体下发用户的业务 权限, 即用户权限信息。
步骤 104, 承载实体保存所下发的用户的业务权限。 当然用户的业 务权限也可以静态配置到承载层实体上。
步骤 105 , 承载实体通知业务实体上述下发用户权限成功, 并且可 以进一步通知到终端设备。
步骤 106, 用户从终端设备通过承载面向承载实体请求业务。
步骤 107至步骤 108, 承载实体根据所保存的用户权限对用户进行 授权判断, 对授权的用户执行相应的请求, 拒绝未授权用户的请求。 图 6所示方式的流程如下:
步骤 201 , 终端设备通过业务控制实体向业务实体请求业务。
步骤 202, 业务实体获得用户的业务权限。
步骤 203 , 业务实体向承载控制实体下发用户的业务权限, 承载控 制实体将用户业务权限发送给数据库。
步骤 204, 数据库保存所下发的用户业务权限。 当然用户的业务权 限也可以静态配置到数据库上。
步骤 205 , 数据库通知业务实体上述下发用户权限成功, 并且可以 进一步通知到终端设备。
步骤 206, 用户从终端设备通过承载面向承载实体请求业务。
步骤 207, 承载实体向承载控制实体发出业务授权请求。
步骤 208, 承载控制实体与数据库进行交互, 获取上述用户业务权 限。
步骤 209, 承载控制实体根据所获取的用户业务权限对用户进行授 权判断, 并将结果即是否允许该用户的频道请求, 通过业务授权应答发 送给承载实体。
步骤 210, 承载实体根据授权结果对授权的用户执行相应的请求, 拒绝未授权用户的请求。 在上述流程中, 还可以有如下变化: 在步骤 207中, 承载实体将来 自用户设备的 IGMP消息转发给承载控制实体; 在后续步骤中, 承载控 制实体进行授权判断, 并通知承载实体是否允许该用户的频道加入请 求。
从图 5和图 6的流程可以看出, 在步骤 106或步骤 206开始, 用户 首先在承载面通过 IGMP消息向 DSLAM或 GGSN等承载面实体请求媒 体流, 如果承载面实体有该用户的权限, 直接进行授权判断, 相当于步 骤 107至步骤 108; 如果没有, 则承载面实体向 SPDF或 PDF等承载控 制实体请求频道授权。
如果承载控制实体保存有用户的频道权限, 则直接进行授权判断, 相当于步骤 208至步骤 211; 如果没有保存, 则承载控制实体向业务层 面发起请求, 请求用户频道权限, 获得后进行频道授权判断。 另外, 承 载面实体还可以通过和业务面的接口, 如多媒体广播组播(MBMS ) 中 的 Gmb接口, 向业务层面发起请求, 请求用户频道权限, 并在获得后 进行频道授权判断。 基于上述方式, 下面分别说明在不同的承载网络环境下, 用户频道 权限判断的具体实施过程。
第一实施例: 在 xDSL网络中, 用户的频道权限信息静态配置或者 动态下发到 DSLAM或 BRAS上; 当 DSLAM或 BRAS收到 IGMP消息 时, 根据上述权限信息进行用户频道请求的授权判断。

步骤 502, 如果订阅信息在 HSS存储, 则 AS向 HSS获取用户订阅 的频道权限信息。
步骤 503, AS下发频道权限信息给 P-CSCF。 步骤 504, P-CSCF进行业务层标识和承载层标识之间的转换。 所述 业务层标识如 IMPU, 所述 7 载层标识如 IP地址。
步骤 505, P-CSCF经过 PCRF或 PDF,将频道权限信息下发给 SPR, 并且携带承载层标识, 例如 IP地址。
步骤 506, SPR以承载层标识如 IP地址为索引,保存用户权限信息。 步骤 506,, SPR通过 P-CSCF向 Terminal发送成功进行权限下发的 消息。
步骤 507, Terminal向 GGSN发送 IGMP加入消息, 请求某个频道。 步骤 508 , GGSN向 PCRF或 PDF发出业务授权请求, 并携带承载 层标识, 如 IP地址。
步骤 509至步骤 509,, PCRF或 PDF携带^载层标识,向 SPR请求 用户业务权限, SPR向 PCRF或 PDF返回用户业务权限信息。
步骤 510, PCRF或 PDF根据所返回的用户业务权限信息, 对用户 进行权限判断。
步骤 511 , PCRF或 PDF将授权结果, 即是否允许该用户的频道请 求, 发送给 GGSN。
步骤 512, GGSN根据授权结果进行相应操作, 即: 如果用户授权 通过, 则向 Terminal转发用户所请求频道的节目流, 否则拒绝未授权用 户的请求。 第四实施例: 在 PCC 架构中, 频道权限静态配置或者动态下发到 PCEF或 PDF上; 当 GGSN收到 IGMP消息时, 向 PCEF或 PDF请求验 证该用户的频道权限, PCEF或 PDF根据保存的频道权限信息, 进行频 道授权判断。

步骤 611 , GGSN根据授权结果进行相应操作, 即: 如果用户授权 通过, 则向 Terminal转发用户所请求频道的节目流, 否则拒绝未授权用 户的请求。
需要说明的是, 在上述流程中 PCEF也可以通过在频道请求响应中 携带自己本地生成的本次会话标识给用户, 用户在 IGMP请求中携带该 会话标识, 从而在 GGSN向 PCEF请求授权时, PCEF可以通过会话标 识进行关联。
另夕卜, 在本实施例中, 由于网络中可能有多个 PCEF, PCEF可以通 过在频道请求响应中携带自己的标识, 从而在 GGSN向 PCEF请求授权 时, GGSN可以通过 PCEF的标识把授权请求发送给该 PCEF。 第五实施例: 承载层面不通过 IGMP消息触发业务, 业务层面直接 通过业务信令, 控制承载层实体为用户授权。

步骤 707, SPDF通知 7 载实体 DSLAM或 BRAS用户请求某频道并 且授权通过, 通知消息中还携带有用户物理位置信息。
步骤 708, DSLAM或 BRAS可以保存用户权限信息, 也可以不保 存。 步骤 709, DSLAM或 BRAS通过 P-CSCF向 STB发送用户授权成 功响应消息, 也可以不发送该消息。
步骤 710, 因为用户授权通过, 所以 DSLAM或 BRAS向 STB转发 用户所请求频道的节目流。
上述所有实施例中, 以用户的频道权限信息的存储在 HSS或 UPSF 户的权限信息还可能有其他的存储方式, 如存储在业务实体 AS上, 此 时 AS本地获取权限信息即可; 或者存储在一个独立的数据库上, 此时 AS从该数据库获取权限信息。
如图 12所示的是本发明实施例中授权实体的结构示意图,该授权实 体为进行网络直播电视业务频道授权的装置。
