组播业务的实现方法及其装置和系统 技术领域
本发明实施例涉及通信领域的组播技术,尤其涉及一种组播业务 的实现方法及其装置和系统。 背景技术
在 Internet上, 多媒体业务诸如: 流媒体, 视频会议和视频点播 等, 正在成为信息传送的重要组成部分。 点对点传输的单播方式不能 适应这一类业务传输特性 -单点发送多点接收, 在这种情况下组播应 运而生,它的出现解决了一个主机向特定的多个接收者发送消息的方 法, 成为新一代网络的不可缺少的关键技术。
IP ( Internet Protocol, 网络之间互连的协议 )组播的基本思想是, 源主机只发送一份数据, 这份数据中的目的地址为组播组地址; 组播 组中的所有接收者都可接收到同样的数据拷贝,并且只有组播组内的 主机(目标主机)可以接收该数据, 网络中其他主机不能收到。
IP地址空间被划分为 A、 B、 C、 D四类, 其中 D类地址被保留 用做组播地址。 在第四版的 IP 协议 (IPv4 ) 中, 从 224.0.0.0 到 239.255.255.255间的所有 IP地址都属于 D类地址。 其中, 224.0.0.0 到 224.0.0.255 地址范围被预留, 224.0.1.0到 238.255.255.255 地址 范围作为用户组播地址, 在全网范围内有效, 239.0.0.0 到 239.255.255.255地址范围为本地管理组播地址,仅在特定的本地范围 内有效。 在 IPv4组播网络中, 除了一些熟知的和保留的组播地址以 夕卜,其他地址并没有明确规定该如何使用,因此存在地址冲突的危险。
IPTV ( Internet Protocol Television, IP电视)业务大多运用组播 技术开展业务, 而在现在的 IPTV运营中, 要求多个 IPTV运营商可 以共用一个承载网络,如图 1所示。在该场景中,用户设备是从 IPTV 运营商提供的 EPG ( Electronic Program Guide, 电视节目菜单) 菜单 中, 获得频道的组播地址, 并根据该组播地址进行组播请求。 考虑到不同的 IPTV运营商提供的组播地址可能相同, 而且一个 IPTV运营商的大多数节目的组播路径也相同, 因此可能造成冲突。 为了解决该冲突, 可以为每个 IPTV运营商的频道分配不同的组播地 址来解决。 但如果每个频道都要有一个 IP组播地址, 承载网络需要 维护大量的组播路径, 工作量非常大。
现有技术提供一种由网络提供商统一管理组播地址的技术,由网 络提供商对 IPTV运营商的频道分配组播地址, EPG菜单由网络提供 商统一提供, 以保证进入承载网络的组播地址不冲突。 该方案从一定 程度上解决了多个 IPTV运营商共用一个承载网络造成的组播地址可 能冲突的问题。
在实现本发明创造的过程中,发明人发现现有技术至少存在以下 缺点:
若 IPTV运营商的频道的组播地址由网络提供商分配,则当 IPTV 运营商需要与多个承载网络连接时, IPTV运营商的频道的组播地址 很难保持一致; 承载网络仍需要维护大量组播路径。 发明内容

图 2为本发明实施例的组播地址控制流程示意图;

在本发明实施例中, UE和 IPTV提供商的控制、 数据流程不用 变动, 由网络控制和承载层对控制和数据流中的组播地址进行转换, 在组播业务承载网络外部依然使用 IPTV提供商分配的组播地址, 在 组播业务承载网络内部使用网络控制和承载层分配的承载网络内部 组播地址进行组播业务传输,从而避免组播地址在承载网络内部发生 冲突。
下面结合附图对本发明实施例进行详细描述。
本发明实施例的组播地址控制流程示意图, 如图 2所示。 在图 2 所示的流程中, 用户设备通过正常的请求业务的流程, 通过 AF ( Application Function, 应用功能体)将组播地址信息 (如组播地址 对< 8>, 其中 G为组播地址, S为组播源地址) 下发给承载控制层 的 RACS ( Resource and Admission Control Subsystem, 资源接纳控制 功能), RACS 将该组播地址对映射为由 RACS 管理的组播地址对 <G,,S,>, 并将该组播地址对的映射关系下发到该组播业务的组播路 径的入口节点和出口节点。 具体步骤包括:
步骤 201、 用户设备通过高层信令请求组播业务。
步骤 202、 业务控制层根据该请求, 获取到对应的组播业务地址 标识对 <G,S>, 该组播地址对是 IPTV运营商分配的。 业务控制层将 该组播地址对 <G,S>发给承载控制层, 由承载控制层进行组播路径和 资源的控制。
步骤 203、 承载控制层的 RACS为该组播业务建立组播路径, 或 将该用户设备加入组播路径 (若该组播业务的组播路径已经存在), 将由 IPTV运营商提供的组播地址对 <G,S>映射成由网络提供商管理 的组播地址对 <G',S,>,并将组播地址对< 8>和<0',8'>的映射关系下 发到为该组播业务建立的组播路径的入口节点和出口节点。组播路径 的入口节点和出口节点位于组播业务承载网络的边缘。 其中, 入口节 点接收组播源发送的组播流, 该组播流沿组播路径路由到出口节点, 由出口节点发送到用户设备。
承载控制层的 RACS的控制功能主要包括:基于保存的策略实现 接纳控制,接受或拒绝对组播业务的请求。 如果接受用户设备的组播 业务请求, 则为传输该组播业务数据预留资源, 建立传输该组播流的 组播路径, 并进行组播地址对映射。
步骤 204、 承载控制层向业务控制层回应设置完毕信息。
步骤 205、 业务控制层向用户设备通知组播业务请求成功, 并将 用户设备所请求的组播业务的组播地址对 <G,S>发送到用户设备。
在上述流程中, 如果步骤 203中, 承载控制层为用户设备所请求 的组播业务进行资源预留,而没有为用户设备所请求的组播业务建立 组播路径 (或没有将用户设备加入组播路径), 则步骤 205中, 用户 设备在收到业务控制层发送的组播业务请求成功的通知后 ,还执行步 骤 206, 即, 根据得到的组播地址对< 8>发送组播加入请求, 请求 中携带组播地址对为 <G,S>。 该请求到达组播路径出口节点时, 组播 加入请求中的组播地址对< 8>被映射为<0,,8,>,按照常规流程对组 播加入请求进行处理。
组播地址信息除了可以用组播地址对标识以外,还可以仅用组播 地址 G进行标识, 本发明实施例给出了几种组播地址的映射方式:
( 1 )若 IPTV运营商提供的组播地址信息为组播地址对 <G,S>, 则可将 <G,S>†的组播地址 G和组播源地址 S分别映射为承载网络提 供商管理的组播地址 G,和组播源地址 S,,即,将< 8>映射为 <G,,S,>; ( 2 )若 IPTV运营商提供的组播地址信息为组播地址对 <G,S>, 则可将 <G,S>†的组播地址和组播源地址, 映射为承载网络提供商管 理的组播地址, 即, 将< *>映射为 <G',*>;
( 3 )若 IPTV运营商提供的组播地址信息为组播地址 <G>, 则将 组播地址 <G>映射为承载网络提供商管理的组播地址 <G,>, 即, 将 <G>映射为 <G'>;
( 4 )若 IPTV运营商提供的组播地址信息为组播地址 <G>, 则将 组播地址 <G>映射为承载网络提供商管理的组播地址 G,,并为该组播 业务数据分配承载网络内部的组播源地址 S,, 组播地址 G,和组播源 地址 S'组成承载网络内部的组播地址对 <G',S,>, 即, 将 <G>映射为 <G,,S,>。 在将 IPTV运营商提供的组播地址信息映射为承载网络内部由承 载网络提供商管理的组播地址信息,建立组播地址映射关系并下发到 组播路径的入口节点和出口节点的具体实现上,可通过上述基于用户 设备请求组播业务进行,也可以根据组网情况或网络规划将组播地址 映射关系信息以静态信息配置的方式,通过 RACS或直接配置到组播 路径的入口节点和出口节点。
在通过组播业务承载网络传输组播流时 ,组播业务承载网络的入 口节点和出口节点分别根据组播地址信息的映射关系进行组播地址 信息转换,使在承载网络内部使用承载网络提供商分配的组播地址信 息。 图 3给出了一个组播业务流的传输流程实例。
如图 3所示, 组播业务承载网络的边缘节点包括 a、 b、 c、 d、 e、 f ,其中节点 f为组播路径的入口节点,节点 a为组播路径的出口节点。 组播地址对为 <G,S>的组播流从组播源到达入口节点 f, 从入口节点 f 进入承载网络, 入口节点 f根据组播地址映射关系将组播流的组播地 址对 <G,S>转换为 <G,,S,>。该组播地址对为 <G,,S, 々组播流沿组播路 径路由到承载网络的出口节点 a, 在出口节点 a根据组播地址映射关 系将组播流的组播地址对 <G,,S,>转换为 <G,S>, 并将组播流发送到用 户设备。
如图 3所示, 在具体实现过程中, 入口节点 f根据下发给它的组 播地址映射关系表(表中的入组播组为 <G,S>、 出组播组为 <G,,S,> ), 将入组播组地址< 8>映射为出组播组地址 <G',S,>, 实现将原来由 IPTV运营商提供的组播地址信息转换为承载网络内部的组播地址信 息; 出口节点 a根据下发给它的组播地址映射关系表(表中的入组播 组为 <G,,S,>、 出组播组为 <G,S> ), 将入组播组地址<0,,8,>映射为出 组播组地址 <G,S>, 实现将承载网络内部的组播地址信息转换为原来 由 IPTV运营商提供的组播地址信息。
由此可见, 针对组播源和组播业务数据的接收方用户设备, 组播 业务数据的地址信息仍由 IPTV运营商提供, 组播业务数据在承载网 络内部传输时釆用承载网络提供的组播地址信息。 因此, 当 IPTV运 营商需要与多个承载网络连接时,其组播业务的组播地址可以保持一 致,通过地址映射方式保证在组播业务的地址在承载网络内部不会冲 突。 由于组播业务数据的地址信息仍由 IPTV运营商提供, 则可以便 于 IPTV运营商增加新的业务, 以及便于进行菜单管理。
对于组播业务对应一个组播地址对的情况可以按照上述流程实 现组播业务, 对于组播业务包对应一组组播地址对的情况, 本发明实 施例也给出了一种组播业务的实现方法。
组播业务包的原理是: 将 BTV ( Broadcast TV, 广播电视)节目 根据鉴权属性和计费属性分成不同的 BTV业务包, 用户设备在同一 个 BTV业务包中的频道节目之间切换时, 不需要基于每一个请求执 行鉴权和计费工作。 这要求用户设备在请求一个组播业务包的时候, 需要将该组播业务包中的一组组播业务流对应的组播组请求下来,而 这些组播业务流的组播路径都是一致的, 但组播地址不同。 如果承载 网根据组播地址单独维护组播路径, 则维护工作量很大。
本发明实施例针对这种情况,将同一个组播业务包的一组组播业 务流的组播地址对 <G1,S1>,<G2,S2>,<G3,S3>...<Gn,Sn>,根据组网情 况或网络规划映射成组播地址都相同的一组组播地址对 <G,,S1,>,<G,,S2,>,<G,,S3,>...<G,,Sn,>,承载网络只根据组播地址 G, 维护该组播业务包的组播路径, 包括利用 <0',*>实现承载网络内部组 播路径统一维护, 统一分配资源, 实现在承载网络内部对这一组组播 业务流的统一简化控制。图 4和图 5给出了本发明实施例针对组播业 务包实现组播业务的实例。
如图 4所示, 接入汇聚网由一个 EN ( Edge Node, 边缘节点 )提 供组播流入口,交换机位于承载网络内部可处理组播请求, AN1、 AN2 分别为两个组播出口节点。 用户设备请求组播业务并已被接受。 在请 求组播业务的过程中已经建立了组播地址映射关系,并已下发到相应 的入口节点和出口节点 (具体过程同图 2所示的流程)。 用户设备所 请求的组播业务为一个 BTV业务包,该 BTV业务包包含有两个组播 地址对为<81^1>和<82,82>的组播流, 地址映射关系为: <gl,sl>对应 载网络的地址对 <g,,sl,>,<g2,s2>对应 载网络的地址对 <g,,s2,>。 用户设备请求加入组播业务的过程, 包括以下步骤:
步骤 401、 AN1收到用户设备发送的组播加入请求, 请求加入组 播地址对为 <gl ,s 1 >的组播流。
步骤 402、 AN1根据预先得到的组播地址映射关系, 将组播地址 对< 1,81>转换为 <g',sl'>。
步骤 403、 AN1发送 IGMP ( Internet组管理协议 )请求, 请求加 入组播地址对为<8,,81,>的组播流, 该请求被发送到承载网络内部的 交换机。
步骤 404、 交换机发送 IGMP请求到网络边缘的 EN, 将用户设 备加入组播地址对 <g, ,s 1 ' >的组播流。
步骤 405、 AN2收到用户设备发送的组播加入请求, 请求加入组 播地址对为 <82^2>的组播流。
步骤 406、 AN2根据预先得到的组播地址映射关系, 将组播地址 对< 2,82>转换为 <g',s2'>。
步骤 407、 AN2发送 IGMP请求,请求加入组播地址对为<8,,82,> 的组播流, 该请求被发送到承载网络内部的交换机, 交换机收到该请 求, 建立组播复制的表项。 由于 AN1 已经请求过该组播地址<8,,*> 对应的组播流, 所以该组播的请求不会再向 EN发送。
在通过组播业务承载网络传输组播流时 ,组播业务承载网络的入 口节点和出口节点分别根据组播地址对的映射关系进行组播地址转 换, 使在承载网络内部使用承载网络提供商分配的组播地址。 图 5给 出了一个组播业务流的传输流程实例。
如图 5所示, 组播业务承载网络的边缘节点包括 a、 b、 c、 d、 e、 f, 其中节点 f为组播路径的入口节点 (对应图 4中的 EN ), 节点 a 和节点 b为组播路径的出口节点 (分别对应图 4中的 AN1和 AN2 )。 属于一个组播业务包的一组组播流, 其对应的一组组播地址对为 <G1,S1> <G2,S2> <G3,S3>.. <Gn,Sn> (该组播地址对由 IPTV运营商 提供), 从组播源到达入口节点 f, 从入口节点 f进入承载网络, 入口 节点 f 根据组播地址映射关系将该组组播流的组播地址对
<G1,S1>,<G2,S2>,<G3,S3>...<Gn,Sn^ 换为承载网络内部的组播地 址对 <G,,Sr>,<G,,S2,>,<G,,S3,>...<G,,Sn,>。 该组组播地址对为 <G',S1,>,<G, ,S2,>,<G, ,S3,> ... <G,,Sn,>的组播流沿组播路径路由到 承载网络的出口节点 a和出口节点 b, 出口节点 a和出口节点 b分别 根据组播地址映射关系将该组组播流的承载网络内部的组播地址对 <G,,S1,> <G,,S2'> <G,,S3,>.. <G',Sn'> ^^; IPTV运营商提供的组 播地址对<01,81>,<02,82>,<03,83>...<Gn,Sn>,并将该组组播流发送 到用户设备。
如图 5所示, 在具体实现过程中, 入口节点 f根据下发给它的组 播 地 址 映 射 关 系 表 ( 表 中 的 入 组 播 组 为 <G1,S1> <G2,S2> <G3,S3>.. <Gn,Sn> 、 出 组 播 组 为 <G,,Sr>,<G,,S2,>,<G,,S3,>...<G,,Sn,> ), 将入组播组地址映射为对 应的出组播组地址, 实现将原来由 IPTV运营商提供的组播地址信息 转换为承载网络内部的组播地址信息; 出口节点 a和 b根据下发给它 的 组 播 地 址 映 射 关 系 表 ( 表 中 的 入 组 播 组 为 <G,,S1,> <G,,S2'> <G,,S3,>.. <G',Sn'> 、 出 组 播 组 为 <G1,S1> <G2,S2> <G3,S3>.. <Gn,Sn> ), 将入组播组地址映射为对应 的出组播组地址,实现将承载网络内部的组播地址信息转换为原来由 IPTV运营商提供的组播地址信息。
上述流程描述了针对一个组播业务包对应有多个组播路径相同 的组播流的情况下,将具有相同组播路径的不同的组播流的组播地址 对, 转换成具有相同组播地址(由组播源的地址区分不同的组播组) 的组播地址对, 这样承载网可以只维护该组播地址对应的组播路径, 减少组播路径维护数量。 在具体应用中, 也可以将不同组播路径的组 播流的组播地址映射为相同的组播地址,以达到减小组播路径维护数 的目的。
本发明实施例还提供了一种资源管理系统, 如图 6所示, 为本发 明实施例提供的资源管理系统的结构示意图,该系统包括组播地址管 理实体 6, 该实体 6包括组播地址映射模块 61和组播地址映射关系 发送模块 62。
组播地址映射模块 61 , 用于将组播业务数据的原组播地址标识 (即由 IPTV运营商提供的组播地址信息)映射为承载网络内部组播 地址标识 ,建立组播业务数据的原组播地址标识和承载网络内部组播 地址标识的映射关系;其中,原组播地址标识为 IPTV运营商提供的, 承载网络内部组播地址标识为组播业务承载网络的提供商分配的; 组播地址映射关系发送模块 62, 用于将原组播地址标识和承载 网络内部组播地址标识的映射关系发送到组播路径的入口节点设备 和出口节点设备,使得入口节点设备和出口节点设备能够根据该映射 关系进行组播业务数据的组播地址标识转换。
组播地址映射模块 61的具体处理过程为:
若原组播地址标识为组播地址, 则组播地址映射模块 61将原组 播地址映射为承载网络内部的组播地址; 或者, 将原组播地址映射为 承载网络内部的组播地址并分配承载网络内部的组播源地址,将映射 后的组播地址和分配的组播源地址组成 载网络内部的组播地址对; 若原组播地址标识为组播地址对, 则组播地址映射模块 61将原 组播地址对中的组播地址映射为承载网络内部的组播地址; 或者, 分 别将原组播地址对中的组播地址和组播源地址映射为承载网络内部 的组播地址对中的组播地址和组播源地址;
组播地址映射模块 61还可将多个组播业务数据的原组播地址对 映射为承载网络内部组播地址对,若这些承载网络内部组播地址对中 的组播地址相同,尤其对于一个组播业务包中的一组组播业务流具有 相同的组播路径时,组播地址映射模块可将这些组播业务流的组播地 址对映射为承载网络内部具有相同组播地址的组播地址对。
组播地址管理实体可以在资源接纳控制功能 RACS中,还可以作 为一个功能模块位于路由器 (特别是中心路由器), 资源管理器、 策 略管理器、 以及宽带接入服务器中。

当数据传输设备位于组播路径的入口时,组播地址映射关系接收 模块 73接收到的映射关系信息表示将原组播地址标识映射为承载网 络内部组播地址标识; 第一组播地址映射模块 74根据该映射关系, 将外部接口模块 71从组播源接收到的组播流的原组播地址标识映射 / 转换为承载网络内部组播地址标识, 并将组播流发送到内部接口模 块, 由内部接口模块 72将组播流发送到承载网络中的其他数据传输 设备。
