Terminals for technologies such as Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access (WiMAX), Long Term Evolution (LTE), and Wireless Local Area Ne t work (WL AN) . Taking a dual-mode dual access terminal as an example, as shown in FIG. 1, the existing dual-mode dual access terminal uses a communication method in which two logically independent terminals are combined, and two independent transceivers are used.

As shown in FIG. 2, the corresponding first network and the second network of the multi-mode multi-access terminal use the same PGW and perform information interaction with the same server. It should be noted here that the first network and the second network only represent at least two networks corresponding to the multi-mode multi-access terminal, and are not limited to two networks.
以下分不同实施例详细介绍如何使不同网络使用同一个 PGW。  The following is a detailed description of how different systems can use the same PGW for different networks.
方法实施例 1  Method embodiment 1
本实施例提供了一种多模多接入终端的业务处理方法,如图 3所示,包括: 步骤 101, 多模多接入终端支持的第一网络进行正常网络附着, 在网关 实体上建立连接。 该网关实体可以为 SGW或 PGW, 以下以 PGW作为网关实 体的例子进行说明。  The embodiment of the present invention provides a service processing method for a multi-mode multi-access terminal. As shown in FIG. 3, the method includes the following steps: Step 101: A first network supported by a multi-mode multi-access terminal performs normal network attachment, and is established on a gateway entity. connection. The gateway entity may be an SGW or a PGW. The following uses an example of a PGW as a gateway entity.
步骤 102 ,所述多模多接入终端支持的第二网络的第二网关单元获取所述 第一网络使用到的网关实体的地址, 即 P GW的地址。  Step 102: The second gateway unit of the second network supported by the multi-mode multiple access terminal acquires an address of a gateway entity used by the first network, that is, an address of the PGW.
具体地, 如果第二网络为非 3GPP网络, 则所述第二网关单元可以在与鉴 权服务器进行第二网络鉴权的过程中, 从鉴权服务器获取所述 PGW的地址; 或者, 如果第二网络为 3GPP网络, 则所述第二网关单元可以在插入签约 数据流程中获取所述 PGW的地址。  Specifically, if the second network is a non-3GPP network, the second gateway unit may obtain the address of the PGW from the authentication server in the process of performing the second network authentication with the authentication server; or, if The second network is a 3GPP network, and the second gateway unit may acquire an address of the PGW in a process of inserting a subscription data.
具体地, 其中的鉴权服务器可以为归属用户服务器(Home Subscriber Server,简称: HSS) /鉴权、认证和计费 (Authentication, Authorization and Accounting, 简称: AAA)服务器。  Specifically, the authentication server may be a Home Subscriber Server (HSS)/Authentication, Authorization and Accounting (AAA) server.
步骤 103,所述多模多接入终端或者已经完成注册的所述第一网络的第一 网关单元向所述第二网络的第二网关单元发送附着请求消息, 其中, 该附着 请求消息中携带有多接入开启指示信息。 Step 103: The multimode multiple access terminal or the first of the first network that has completed registration The gateway unit sends an attach request message to the second gateway unit of the second network, where the attach request message carries multiple access start indication information.
具体地, 当第一网络为 3GPP网络, 第二网络为非 3GPP网络时, 相应地, 第一网关单元可以为移动管理实体(Mob i le Management Ent i ty , 简称: MME) , 第二网关单元可以为非 3GPP接入网关; 反之, 当第一网络为非 3GPP网络, 第 二网络为 3GPP网络时, 相应地, 第一网关单元可以为非 3GPP接入网关, 第二 网关单元可以为 MME。 所述附着请求消息也可以由多模多接入终端发送, 由多 模多接入终端发送还是由第一网关单元发送是由通信系统的组网结构决定 的, 不影响本发明实施例的有益效果。 如果第一网关单元和第二网关单元之 间具有通信接口, 可以进行信息互通, 则由第一网关单元发送所述附着请求 消息可以有利于减小多模多接入终端的工作负担。  Specifically, when the first network is a 3GPP network and the second network is a non-3GPP network, the first gateway unit may be a Mob i le Management Entity (MME), and the second gateway unit. When the first network is a non-3GPP network and the second network is a 3GPP network, the first gateway unit may be a non-3GPP access gateway, and the second gateway unit may be an MME. The attach request message may also be sent by the multi-mode multi-access terminal, whether the multi-mode multi-access terminal is sent by the multi-mode multi-access terminal or the first gateway unit is determined by the networking structure of the communication system, and does not affect the beneficialness of the embodiment of the present invention. effect. If the communication interface between the first gateway unit and the second gateway unit is available for information interworking, the sending of the attach request message by the first gateway unit may be beneficial to reduce the workload of the multi-mode multi-access terminal.
此处需要说明的是: 本步骤与步骤 102之间并没有必然的先后顺序关系, 即先发送附着请求消息, 然后再进行第二网络鉴权的过程也是可以的。 并且, 由多模多接入终端发送的多接入开启指示信息也可以在步骤 102中的鉴权过 程中进行发送。  It should be noted here that there is no necessary sequence relationship between this step and step 102, that is, the process of sending an attach request message first, and then performing the second network authentication is also possible. Moreover, the multiple access initiation indication information sent by the multimode multiple access terminal may also be sent in the authentication process in step 102.
步骤 1 04 ,所述第二网络的第二网关单元接收到所述附着请求消息后, 根据所述 PGW的地址, 向相应的 PGW发送建立连接请求; PGW收到后, 在 PGW上建立用户的相关信息, 例如用户标识, 数据发送路径信息等; 并将 所述多接入开启指示信息通过所述 PGW发送给 PCRF实体。  Step 1104: After receiving the attach request message, the second gateway unit of the second network sends a connection establishment request to the corresponding PGW according to the address of the PGW. After receiving the PGW, the user is established on the PGW. Related information, such as user identification, data transmission path information, and the like; and transmitting the multiple access initiation indication information to the PCRF entity by using the PGW.
具体地, 当第二网络为 3GPP网络时, 所述建立连接请求消息可以是建立 承载请求; 当第二网络为非 3GPP网络时, 所述建立连接请求可以是绑定更新 请求。 步骤 105 , 所述 PCRF实体接收到所述多接入开启指示信息后, 针对使用的 所述 PGW的第一网络和第二网络下发具有相应网络类型参数的 PCC规则。 Specifically, when the second network is a 3GPP network, the establishing a connection request message may be a setup bearer request; when the second network is a non-3GPP network, the establishing a connection request may be a binding update request. Step 105: After receiving the multiple access initiation indication information, the PCRF entity sends a PCC rule with a corresponding network type parameter to the first network and the second network of the used PGW.
具体地, 可以为所述第一网络和第二网络设置不同的网络类型参数, 例 如, 无线接入技术(Rad i o Acce s s Techno logy, 简称: RAT)类型参数, 与相 应的 PCC规则进行绑定,携带于一个下发消息或两个独立的下发消息中发送给 所述 PGW。 由于 PCC规则是一系列参数的组合, 所以也可以釆用在 PCC规则中增 加一个 RAT类型参数, 用于对不同的 PCC规则进行区分。  Specifically, different network type parameters may be set for the first network and the second network, for example, a Radio Access Technology (RAT) type parameter, and the corresponding PCC rule is bound. And sent to the PGW in one outgoing message or two independent outgoing messages. Since the PCC rule is a combination of a series of parameters, it is also possible to add a RAT type parameter to the PCC rule for distinguishing different PCC rules.
此处需要说明的是, PCRF实体是向策略和计费增强功能(Po l i cy and Charg ing Enforcement Func t i on, 简称: PCEF)实体而不是向 PGW下发 PCC规 则,但一般情况下, 网关实体 PGW可以包含 PCEF实体, 因此也可以看作是向 PGW 下发 PCC规则。  It should be noted that the PCRF entity sends a PCC rule to the PGW and not to the PGW, but in general, the gateway entity The PGW can contain PCEF entities, so it can also be regarded as issuing PCC rules to the PGW.
步骤 106 , PGW将接收到的所述 PCC规则进行保存, 当该 PGW接收到业务数 据后, 将该业务数据与已保存的 PCC规则进行匹配, 并根据匹配到的 PCC规则 中的网络类型参数将所述业务数据发送给相应的网络。  Step 106: The PGW saves the received PCC rule. After the PGW receives the service data, the PGW matches the saved data with the saved PCC rule, and according to the network type parameter in the matched PCC rule. The service data is sent to a corresponding network.
其中的业务数据即用户需要获取的内容。  The business data is the content that the user needs to obtain.

1-3、 多模多接入终端向所述非 3GPP接入网关发送附着请求消息。  1-3. The multi-mode multiple access terminal sends an attach request message to the non-3GPP access gateway.
另外, 如果在上述步骤 1-2中, 多模多接入终端没有向非 3GPP网络接入网 关发送多接入开启指示信息, 则多模多接入终端可以在此步骤中的所述附着 请求消息中携带多接入开启指示信息给非 3GPP接入网关。  In addition, if the multimode multiple access terminal does not send the multiple access initiation indication information to the non-3GPP network access gateway in the foregoing step 1-2, the multimode multiple access terminal may perform the attach request in this step. The message carries multiple access initiation indication information to the non-3GPP access gateway.
1-4、 非 3GPP接入网关收到所述附着请求消息后, 根据接收到的所述 PGW 的地址, 向相应的 PGW发送代理绑定更新(Proxy Bind ing Upda te , 简称: PBU) 消息, 其中携带有所述多接入开启指示信息。  1-4.
