- Each IP-CAN session and gateway control session is managed as a sub-session in the S9 session, and the establishment of each IP-CAN session and/or gateway control session corresponds to the establishment of the S9 sub-session, respectively, and the deletion of each sub-session.
- the PCC or QoS rule can be included in the message of each sub-session.
- the rule is for the sub-session (ie, the corresponding IP-CAN session and/or the gateway control session).
- the S9 can be solved by using the sub-session.
- the interface uses a problem with a session.
- a possible implementation manner is to specify a sub-session ID corresponding to the PCC rule in the PCC rule, so that multiple PCC rules may be included in one message (session ID as a main session), and the PCC rules correspond to different sub-children.
- CC-Sub-Session-Id indicates the sub-session ID corresponding to these PCC rules.
- a similar mechanism can be used for information about PDN, taking APN-AMBR as an example:

- CC-Sub-Session-Id indicates the sub-session information associated with it.
- the S8 adopts the PMIP protocol
- the BBERF is located at the S-GW
- the PCEF is located at the P-GW
- all P-GWs are located in the visited domain.

- the user has three IP-CAN sessions and three gateway control sessions, corresponding to three S9 sub-sessions S9-1, S9-2, and S9-3, respectively.
- the S9 session update message carries the S9 session Id and the corresponding PCC rules of the sub-sessions 1 and 2, while changing for the sub-session (ie, the corresponding IPCAN session and/or Gateway Control Session) APN-AMBR parameter. Specifically, the following steps are included:
- the user has established three IP-CAN sessions, and three gateway control sessions correspond to three S9 sub-sessions S9-1, S9-2, and S9-3, respectively.
- BBERF initiates a gateway control session update due to access technology changes or other conditions. Because there are three gateway control sessions, BBERF (S-GW) may initiate updates of three gateway control sessions at the same time. Can only be initiated in one of them.
- the VPCRF initiates an update of the S9 session with the trigger event and the S9 session Id, but without any S9 subsession Id, indicating that these events are for all subsessions.
- the HPCRF modifies the corresponding PCC rule according to the triggering event, and the HPCRF sends an S9 session update message response to the VPCRF, and the PCC rule includes the PDN information, and the specific implementation manner may be extended Charging-Rule-Defmition definition, carrying the sub-session information; , extending the definition of Charging- Rule-Install, indicating that all installed rules are for a certain sub-session.
- the HPCRF also modifies the maximum bandwidth (APN-AMBR) parameters of all non-GBR bearers in each PDN.
- APN-AMBR maximum bandwidth
- Session-Id > only with the primary session ID, indicating that the message is for the primary session ⁇ Auth- Application-Id ⁇
- the CC-Sub-Session-Id indicates the sub-session information associated with it, so that multiple APN-AMBR parameters can be carried in one message, each associated with a sub-session (such as sub-session 1, 2).

多分组数据网场景下实现策略和计费控制的方法和系统
本申请要求了 2008年 9月 18日提交的, 申请号为 200810216273.4, 发 明名称为 "多分组数据网场景下 S9会话的实现方法" 的中国申请优先权, 其全部内容通过引用结合在本申请中。 技术领域
本发明涉及通信技术领域, 特别涉及一种多分组数据网场景下实现策略 和计费控制方法和系统。 背景技术
在通信网络向全 IP演进的过程中, 需要解决端到端服务质量 QoS 问 题, 以提供令客户满意的业务。 IP 网络可以提供各种各样的业务 (如多媒 体呼叫、 文件下载、 网页浏览等) , 不同的业务对 QoS (包括带宽、 时 延、 丢包率等等) 有不同的要求, 而且计费方面的要求也不同 (比如可以采 用在线计费或者离线计费, 可以根据流量计费或者根据时间计费等等) 。
为了解决上述 QoS和计费等相关问题, 第三代移动通信标准化伙伴项 目 ( 3rd Generation Partnership Project, 3 GPP ) 定义了策略和计费控制 ( Policy and Charging Control, PCC ) 架构, 通过该架构可以满足不同的 QoS控制和计费需求。
如图 1所示, 3GPP在 TS 23.402里定义的 PCC架构的漫游场景有两 类: 归属域路由 (Home Routed) 和本地突围 (Local Breakout ) 。 其中, Home Routed是指分组数据网关 (Packet Data Network Gateway, P-GW) 在 归属域 PLMN (Home PLMN, HPLMN) , 数据必须通过归属域网关连接到 服务; 而 Local Breakout是指 P-GW在拜访域 PLMN ( Visited PLMN , VPLMN) , 数据不需要通过归属域网关, 而从拜访域的网关连接到服务。
在 Home Routed漫游场景中 (如图 la所示) , 服务网关 (Serving Gateway, S-GW) 与拜访域策略控制和计费规则功能实体 (Visited Policy Control and Charging Rules Function, V-PCRF或 VPCRF) 之间建立网关控 制会话 (即 Gxx会话) , 由 V-PCRF将信息通过 S9接口转发给归属域策略 控制和计费规则功能实体 (Home Policy and Charging Rules Function , H- PCRF或 HPCRF) , 并将 H-PCRF生成的策略传递给 S-GW; P-GW与 H- PCRF间建立 IP连通接入网络 IP-CAN会话 (即 Gx会话) 。 网关控制会话 和 IP-CAN会话的信息分别传送到 H-PCRF, 由 H-PCRF生成策略。 这种场 景下, P-GW的 IP-CAN会话信息不通过 V-PCRF。
在 Local Breakout漫游场景中 (如图 lb所示) , S-GW与 V-PCRF之 间建立网关控制会话, P-GW与 V-PCRF建立 IP-CAN会话。 由 V-PCRF将 网关控制会话和 IP-CAN会话的信息进行处理, 然后转发给 H-PCRF, 由 H- PCRF生成策略。 H-PCRF将生成的 PCC rules下发给 V-PCRF, V-PCRF从 PCC rules中抽取信息生成 QoS rules, 并且分别将 PCC rules发送给 P-GW, 将 QoS rules下发给 S-GW。 这种场景下, 由 V-PCRF根据分组数据网络标 识 (Packet Data Network ID, PDN ID) 和漫游协议等信息决定是否将网关 控制会话信息传递到 H-PCRF, P-GW的 IP-CAN会话信息则会发送到 V- PCRF, 由 V-PCRF处理生成 S9会话传给 H-PCRF。
为了更容易理解, PCC架构中涉及的各术语描述如下:
IP-CAN: IP Connectivity Access Network, 当用户在接入网络内漫游 (位置改变) 时仍能保持 IP业务连续性 (即不中断业务) , 具有这样性质 的接入网络称为 IP-CAN, 比如 GPRS网络, I-WLAN网络等;
IP-CAN会话: IP-CAN session, 指的是用户和 PDN (分组数据网, 比 如 internet) 标识之间的连接关系, 该连接关系通过用户的 IP地址和用户标 识 (例如在 3GPP中的 IMSI) 来识别。 只要用户被分配了 IP地址并且能被
IP网络识别, 贝 ij IP-CAN存在。 IP-CAN会话可以包含一到多个 IP-CAN承 载。
S9会话: S9 session, V-PCRF和 H-PCRF之间的会话, 用于 V-PCRF 传递 IP-CAN会话、 网关控制会话或 Rx信息给 H-PCRF; 也用于 H-PCRF 传递 PCC (包含 Qos) 规则信息。
另外, PCC架构中的各功能实体的作用描述如下:
S-GW:服务网关。 该功能实体主要负责处理用户的移动性的网关, 同 时通过 S5/S8接口与 P-GW之间使用 GTP或者 PMIP协议交互, 同时与 PCRF通过网关控制会话接口 (即 Gxx接口) 使用 Dimater消息进行交互。
P-GW:分组数据网关。 该功能实体主要负责通过 SGi接口 (未在图中 示出) 与外部数据网 (Internet,或者运营商自定义的 IP业务服务,比如 IMS) 的通讯, 通过 S5/S8接口与 S-GW之间使用 GTP或者 PMIP协议交互, 同时 与 PCRF通过 IP-CAN接口 ( S卩 Gx接口) 使用 Dimater消息进行交互。
H-PCRF: Home Policy and Charging Rules Function, 归属域的策略与计 费规则功能实体。 主要完成策略的决策和基于流的计费控制等功能。 H- PCRF实体根据运营商策略, 用户签约数据 (从 SPR功能实体获取) 以及用 户当前正在进行的业务信息 (从 AF功能实体获取) 等决定相应的策略, 并 将该策略 (策略可以是 PCC规则或者单独的属性, 为简便起见, 本文中不 区分策略和 PCC规则的细微差别) 提供给策略和计费执行实体 PCEF, 由 PCEF执行这些策略; 将 QoS 策略提供给承载绑定和事件上报功能实体 BBERF , 由 BBERF执行 QoS 和会话控制功能。 策略包括业务数据流
(即, 完成某业务如语音通信的 IP流的集合) 的检测规则、 是否门控、 QoS, 基于流的计费规则等。
V-PCRF: Visited Policy and Charging Rules Function, 拜访域的策略与 计费规则功能实体。 主要功能: Local Breakout场景中, 向 H-PCRF提供拜 访域 AF提供的业务信息、 P-GW的 IP-CAN会话信息, 还有事件上报功
能, 提供拜访域运营商策略, 使 H-PCRF能够制定 PCC rules; 将 H-PCRF 制定 PCC策略传递给 P-GW, 将 H-PCRF制定的 QoS策略传递给 S-GW, 以及应答网关控制会话。 Home Routed场景中, 向 H-PCRF上报事件功能, 提供拜访域运营商策略, 使 H-PCRF能够制定 PCC rules; 将 H-PCRF制定 的 QoS策略传递给 S-GW, 以及应答网关控制会话。
PCEF (包含在 P-GW中 ) : Policy and Charging Enforcement Function, 策略和计费执行功能实体。 主要完成业务数据流的检测、 策略的执行、 基于 流的计费等功能。 该实体执行 PCRF下发或者指定的策略, 具体来说就是执 行业务数据流的检测和测量, 保证业务数据流的 QoS, 用户面流量处理和 触发控制面的会话管理等。 PCEF所在的网络实体包括但不限于 SAE网络中 的 PDN GWo
BBERF (包含在 S-GW 中) : Bearer Binding and Event Reporting Function, 承载绑定和事件上报功能实体。 主要完成承载绑定、 上行链路承 载验证和事件报告功能。 BBERF所在网络实体包括但不限于 SAE网络中的 serving GW、 non-3GPP网络中的 NON-3GPP接入网关等。
图 2表示的是一种多 PDN场景时的示意图, 其中:
1、 UE连接不同的外部数据网络 (图中的 PDN1或者 PDN2) ·'
2、 UE通过一个 S-GW或者非 3GPP接入网关, 以及 1个或者多个 P- GW与 PDN连接;
3、 PDN-GW会为 UE的每个外部数据网络连接创建一个 IP-CAN会话 (图中的 Gxl, Gx2) ;
4、 如果 S-GW或者非 3GPP接入网关与 PDN-GW之间使用 PMIP协 议, 则 S-GW会为 UE的每个外部数据网络连接创建一个网关控制会话 (图 中的 Gxxl , Gxx2) ;
5、 如果非 3GPP接入网关与 PDN-GW之间使用 CMIP协议, 贝 lj S-GW 会为 UE创建一个网关控制会话 (图中没有表示出这种情况) 。
在该场景下, S9会话是针对每个 UE创建的, S9只有一个会话, 网关 控制会话和 IP-CAN会话的所有信息都当作 S9会话信息发送。 第一个 IP- CAN会话或网关控制会话触发 S9的建立, 后续每个 IP-CAN会话或网关控 制会话建立、 修改和删除都触发 S9会话的修改和删除。
针对多 PDN场景, 发明人在实现本发明的过程中发现:
由于 S9会话无法区分和处理 IP-CAN会话和网关控制会话的建立、 修 改和删除, 导致 V-PCRF无法理解 H-PCRF下发的信息, 不能把信息发送到 正确的 PCEF或者 BBERF上去执行, 导致 PCC功能失效; 如果 V-PCRF无 法把 PDN连接释放信息上报给 H-PCRF, H-PCRF也无法释放对应的 PDN 连接信息, 导致无效的资源占用以及无法制定正确的策略。 发明内容

为使本发明实施例目的、 技术方案及优点更加清楚、 明了, 以下参照 附图, 对本发明实施例进行详细描述:
本发明提供的多分组数据网场景下 S9会话的实现方法的一个实施例流 程如图 3所示, 具体歩骤包括:
歩骤 300、 V-PCRF接收 H-PCRF发送的 S9会话消息, 所述消息中携带有 PDN信息。
其中, 在 S9会话消息中携带 PDN信息, 具体实现的时候, 可以基于现 有的 IP-CAN会话中已经定义的 PCC规则, 对 PCC规则进行扩展以提供 PDN 信息。 示例如下:
Charging-Rule-Defmition ::= < A VP Header: 1003 >
{ Charging-Rule-Name }
[ Called-Station-ID ]
[ Service-Identifier ]
[ Rating-Group ]
*[ Flow-Description ]
[ Flow- Status ]
[ QoS-Information ]
[ Reporting-Level ]
[ Online ]
[ Offline ]
[ Metering-Method ]
[ Precedence ]
[ AF-Charging-Identifier ]
*[ Flows ]
*[ AVP ]
Charging-Rule-Definition AVP是现有 PCC规则的定义, 新增加的 Called- Station-ID表示该 PCC规则对应的 PDN。
或者, 也可以在 Charging-Rule-Install里扩展, 表明该 AVP下所有的 PCC 规则都是与该 PDN相关联的。 示例如下:
Charging-Rule-Install ::= < AVP Header: 1001 >
*[ Charging-Rule-Definition ]
*[ Charging-Rule-Name ]
*[ Charging-Rule-Base-Name ]
[ Called-Station-ID ]
[ Bearer-Identifier ]
*[ AVP ]
其中 Charging-Rule-Definition表示要安装的多个动态 PCC规贝 lj,
Charging-Rule-Name和 Charging-Rule-Base-Name表示要激活的多个预定义
PCC规则, 而 Called-Station-ID表示这些规则对应的 PDN。
需要说明的是除了 PCC规则外, 其他针对 PDN的 AVP参数也可以参照
PCC规则同样处理。 比如 APN-AMBR参数 (用于指明连接同一 PDN的所有 非 GBR承载共享的最大带宽) 可以使用以下方式:
APN-AMBR ::= < A VP Header:xxxx >
[ Max-Requested-Bandwidth-UL ]
[ Max-Requested-Bandwidth-DL ]
[ Called-Station-ID ]
*[ AVP ]
其中 Max-Requested-Bandwidth-UL禾口 Max-Requested-Bandwidth-DL表
共享的最大带宽信息, 而 Called-Station-ID表示与之关联的 PDN信息。
歩骤 302、 V-PCRF根据接收到的 S9会话消息, 执行相应的策略。
其中, V-PCRF根据 PCC规则中带有的 PDN信息和 IP地址信息找到对应 的 IP-CAN会话和 /或网关控制会话, 将 PCC规则发给对应的 IP-CAN会话 (P- GW) , 如果有网关控制会话相关联, 则 V-PCRF从 PCC规则中抽取 Qos规则 并发给对应的网关控制会话 (BBERF ) 。
同样, 如果 V-PCRF收到针对 PDN的信息, 则把该信息发送到对应的 IP- CAN或者网关控制会话。
下面, 通过一些具体实施例, 详细描述以上方法在不同场景下的实现方 式。

1、 用户已经建立了对应于 PDN1的网关控制会话、 IP-CAN会话和 S9会话。
2、 用户发起 PDN2的连接建立, 首先触发 BBERF ( SGW) 发起网关控制会 话的建立, VPCRF收到网关控制会话的建立消息后, 判断该 PDN连接是本 地突围场景, 则隐藏网关控制会话 (不向 HPCRF发送会话更新) , 直接向 BBERF返回网关控制会话的建立响应消息。
3、 PCEF发送 IP-CAN会话指示消息给 VPCRF , 用于指示要建立 IP-CAN会 话, 并向 VPCRF请求 PCC规则。
4、 VPCRF发起 S9会话更新, 消息中带有 IP-CAN会话信息、 PDN2信息和 PDN2对应的用户 IPv4地址。
5、 HPCRF根据 IP-CAN会话信息、 网关控制会话信息, 用户签约信息和运营 商定义的策略制定 PCC规则并在 S9会话更新应答中发送给 VPCRF。 规则中 包含与该 PCC规则关联的 PDN信息。

*[ Flow-Description ]
[ Flow- Status ]
[ QoS-Information ]
[ Reporting-Level ]
[ Online ]
[ Offline ]
[ Metering-Method ]
[ Precedence ]
[ AF-Charging-Identifier ]

Charging-Rule-Install ::= < AVP Header: 1001 >
*[ Charging-Rule-Definition ]
*[ Charging-Rule-Name ]
*[ Charging-Rule-Base-Name ]
[ Called-Station-ID ]
[ Bearer-Identifier ]

7、 VPCRF从 PCC规则中抽出 Qos规则, 将 Qos规则通过新建的网关控制会话 发给 S-GW。
8、 如果 HPCRF发送的 S9消息里包含针对 PDN1的 PCC规则, 则 VPCRF向连 接 PDN1的 P-GW1发送 PCC规则。
9、 如果 HPCRF发送的 S9消息里包含针对 PDN1的 PCC规则, 则 VPCRF通过 原先建立的网关控制会话将提取出的 QoS规则发送给 S-GW。

1、 用户已经建立了对应于 PDN1的 IP-CAN会话、 网关控制会话和 S9会话。
2、 用户发起 PDN2的连接建立, 因为是 CMIP场景, 同一用户的一个网关控 制会话关联多个 IP-CAN会话, 所以这时不需要建立第二个网关控制会话。 PCEF发送 IP-CAN会话指示消息给 VPCRF, 用于指示要建立 IP-CAN会话, 并向 VPCRF请求 PCC规则。
3、 VPCRF发起 S9会话更新, 消息中带有 IP-CAN会话信息、 PDN2信息和 PDN2对应的用户 IPv4/IP v6地址。

1、 用户已经建立了对应于 PDN1的网关控制会话、 IP-CAN会话和 S9会话。
2、 用户发起 PDN2的连接建立, 首先触发 BBERF ( SGW) 发起网关控制会

3、 VPCRF收到网关控制会话的建立消息后, 判断该 PDN连接到归属域的 P- GW, 则向 HPCRF发送 S9会话更新消息 (CCR消息:), 携带 PDN2信息。
4、 HPCRF根据网关控制会话信息、 用户签约信息和运营商定义的策略制定 QoS规则并在 S9会话更新应答 (CCA消息) 中发送给 VPCRF。 规则中包含 与该 QoS规则关联的 PDN信息。
具体实现方式可以为扩展 QoS-Rule-Defmition的定义, 携带 PDN2信息:
QoS-Rule-Definition ::= < A VP Header: xxxx >
{QoS-Rule-Name }
[ Called-Station-ID ]
*[ Flow-Description ]
[ QoS -Information ]
[ Precedence ]
*[ AVP ]
或者扩展 QoS-Rule-Install的定义, 表明所有安装的 QoS规则都是针对 PDN2:
QoS-Rule-Install ::= < AVP Header: xxxx >
*[ QoS-Rule-Defmition ]
[ Called-Station-ID ]
*[ AVP ]
5、 VPCRF收到该消息后, 根据该消息里携带的 PDN信息, 向对应的网关控 制会话返回 QoS规则。
6、 BBERF向归属域的 PCEF发起 PMIP绑定过程。
需要说明的是, 歩骤 6和 2可以并行进行, 不必等到歩骤 5 ;
7、 PCEF发送 IP-CAN会话指示消息 (CCR消息) 给 HPCRF , 用于指示要建 立 IP-CAN会话, 并向 HPCRF请求 PCC规则。
8、 HPCRF根据 IP-CAN会话信息、 网关控制会话信息、 用户签约信息和运营 商定义的策略制定 PCC规则并在 IP— CAN会话建立应答 (CCA ) 中发送给 PCEF。
9、 如果 HPCRF根据 IP-CAN会话信息、 用户进行的业务信息、 用户签约信息
和运营商定义的策略等需要安装新的 QoS规则或者修改原有 QoS规则, 则通 过 S9会话更新消息 (RAR消息) 将新的 QoS规则或者修改后的 QoS规则下发 给 VPCRF, 其中这些规则携带有 PDN信息, 具体方式参见歩骤 4。
10、 如果 HPCRF发送的 S9消息里包含针对 PDN2的 QoS规则, 则 VPCRF通过 新建立的网关控制会话向 BBERF发送 QoS规则。

具体实现方式, 可以在 CCA消息里携带多个 APN-AMBR参数:
<CC-Answer> ::= < Diameter Header: 272, PXY >
< Session-Id >
{ Auth- Application-Id }
{ Origin-Host }
{ Origin-Realm }
*[ APN-AMBR ] *表示携带多个

多 PDN场景下, 当 VPCRF通知 HPCRF释放对应于某一 PDN的 IP-CAN和 / 或网关控制会话时, 或者 HPCRF通知 VPCRF释放对应于某一 PDN的 IP-CAN 和 /或网关控制会话时, 需要发起 S9会话的更新操作, 需要在 S9会话消息中 带有 PDN信息, 以及该 PDN对应的 IPv4和 /或 IPv6地址。
1 ) 对于 VPCRF发起的 S9会话更新, VPCRF可以使用 CCR命令来通知
HPCRF释放某一 PDN对应的 IP-CAN和 /或网关控制会话。 具体实现时, 可以考虑基于现有的 CCR定义进行扩展。 如, 一种可能的实现方式是:
<CC-Request> ::= < Diameter Header: 272, REQ, PXY >
< Session-Id >
{ Auth- Application-Id }
{ Origin-Host }
{ Origin-Realm }
{ Destination-Realm }
{ CC-Request-Type }
{ CC-Request-Number }
[ Destination-Host ]
[ Origin-State-Id ]
[ Framed-IP- Address ]
[ Framed-IPv6-Prefix ]
[ Called-Station-ID ]
[PDN-CONNECT-RELEASE]
其他 A VP省略
其中, Called- Station-ID表示 PDN, Framed-IP- Address和 Framed-IPv6-
Prefix分别表示该 PDN对应的 IPv4和 IPv6地址。 PDN-CONNECT-RELEASE为 新增信元, 指示释放某一 PDN连接。
需要说明的是, Called- Station-ID、 Framed-IP- Address和 Framed-IPv6-
Prefix都是原有信元。
2 ) 对于 HPCRF发起的 S9会话更新, HPCRF可以使用 RAR命令来通知 VPCRF释放某一 PDN对应的 IP-CAN和 /或网关控制会话。 具体实现时, 可以 考虑基于现有的 RAR定义进行扩展。 如, 一种可能的实现方式是:
<RA-Request> ::= < Diameter Header: 258, REQ, PXY >
< Session-Id >
{ Auth- Application-Id }
{ Origin-Host }
{ Origin-Realm }
{ Destination-Realm }
{ Destination-Host }
{ Re-Auth-Request-Type }
[ Origin-State-Id ]
[PDN-CONNECT-RELEASE]
[ Called-Station-ID ]
[ Framed-IP-Address ]
[ Framed-IPv6-Prefix ]
其他 AVP省略
其中, Called-Station-ID表示 PDN, Framed-IP-Address和 Framed-IPv6- Prefix分别表示该 PDN对应的 IPv4和 IPv6地址。 PDN-CONNECT-RELEASE指 示释放某一 PDN连接。
需要说明的是, 这几个信元都是新增信元。
如果 VPCRF收到 HPCRF发来的 S9会话更新消息, 或者 HPCRF收到 VPCRF发来的 S9会话更新消息, 释放对应于某一 PDN的 IP-CAN和 /或网关控 制会话时, 根据消息中的 PDN信息和 IP地址找到对应的 IP-CAN和 /或网关控 制会话, 并发起 IP-CAN和 /或网关控制会话的释放操作。
如图 8所示, 为 3GPP接入漫游场景, S8采用 PMIP协议, BBERF位于 S- GW, PCEF位于 P-GW, VPCRF和 HPCRF之间的 S9会话已经建立。 用户有 3 个 IP-CAN会话, 3个网关控制会话, 分别对应于 PDN1、 PDN2和 PDN3。 由 于内部或外部条件的触发, HPCRF需要发起 PDN3对应的网关控制会话和 IP- CAN会话的释放, 则在 S9会话更新消息中带有 PDN信息和对应的 IP地址信 息以及释放指示。 具体包括以下歩骤:
1、 用户已经建立了 3个 IPCAN会话, 3个网关控制会话, 分别对应于 PDN1、 PDN2禾口 PDN3。
2、 由于内部或外部条件的触发, HPCRF需要发起 PDN3对应的 IP-CAN会话 和网关控制会话的释放, 则在 S9会话更新消息中 (例如 RAR) 带有 PDN3以
及释放指示, 可选的带有 IP地址信息。
3、 VPCRF应答 HPCRF的 S9会话更新消息。
4、 VPCRF发起 PDN3对应的网关控制会话的释放。
5、 BBERF ( S-GW) 应答网关控制会话的释放。
需要说明的是, 网关控制会话仅适用于 S8接口使用 PMIP情况, 如果是 GTP 协议, 则不存在网关控制会话。
6、 VPCRF发起 PDN3对应的 IP-CAN会话的释放。
7、 PCEF (P-GW) 应答 IP-CAN会话的释放。
需要说明的是:
1 ) : IP-CAN会话仅存在于 PCEF位于拜访域场景;
2) : 第 3歩有可能等第 7歩完成后 VPCRF才给 HPCRF回应答。
实施例 6
现有 Diameter协议中, 已经有子会话的概念 (CC-Sub-Session-Id)。 如果
S9会话中将每一个 IP-CAN会话和网关控制会话作为一个子会话来管理, 每 个 IP-CAN会话和 /或网关控制会话的建立分别对应于 S9子会话的建立, 同样 每个子会话的删除对应着网关控制会话和 /或 IP-CAN会话的删除。 可以在每 个子会话的消息里包含 PCC或者 QoS规则, 该规则就是针对该子会话 (即对 应的 IP-CAN会话和 /或网关控制会话) , 从以上分析可以看出, 使用子会话 可以解决 S9接口使用一个会话存在的问题。
但是现有 Diameter协议中, 没有解决一个消息更改多个子会话的问题, 即每条消息要么是针对整个会话的, 要么是针对单个子会话的, 没有一种机 制更改部分子会话的, 而在 PCC中存在更改部分子会话 (对应的 IP-CAN会 话和 /或网关控制会话) 的信息或者规则。
因此, 一种可能的实现方式为, 在 PCC规则里指明该 PCC规则对应的子 会话 ID,这样可以在一条消息 (会话 ID为主会话) 里包含多个 PCC规则, 这 些 PCC规则对应不同的子会话。 具体扩展为:
Charging-Rule-Defmition ::= < A VP Header: 1003 >
{ Charging-Rule-Name }
[CC-Sub-Session-Id]
[ Service-Identifier ]
[ Rating-Group ]
*[ Flow-Description ]
[ Flow- Status ]
[ QoS-Information ]
[ Reporting-Level ]
[ Online ]
[ Offline ]
[ Metering-Method ]
[ Precedence ]
[ AF-Charging-Identifier ]
*[ Flows ]
*[ AVP ]
Charging-Rule-Install ::= < AVP Header: 1001 >
*[ Charging-Rule-Definition ]
*[ Charging-Rule-Name ]
*[ Charging-Rule-Base-Name ]
[CC-Sub-Session-Id ]
[ Bearer-Identifier ]
*[ AVP ]
其中 CC-Sub-Session-Id表明这些 PCC规则对应的子会话 ID。
对于针对 PDN的信息可以采用类似机制, 以 APN-AMBR为例:
APN-AMBR ::= < A VP Header:xxxx >
[ Max-Requested-Bandwidth-UL ]
[ Max-Requested-Bandwidth-DL ]
[CC-Sub-Session-Id ]
*[ AVP ]
其中, Max-Requested-Bandwidth-UL禾口 Max-Requested-Bandwidth-DL表 示共享的最大带宽信息, 而 CC-Sub-Session-Id表示与之关联的子会话信息。
如图 9所示, 为 3GPP接入漫游场景, S8采用 PMIP协议, BBERF位于 S- GW, PCEF位于 P-GW, 所有的 P-GW均位于拜访域。 VPCRF和 HPCRF之间 的 S9会话已经建立。 用户有 3个 IP-CAN会话, 3个网关控制会话, 分别对应 于三个 S9子会话 S9— 1、 S9— 2和 S9— 3。 由于接入技术的变化, HPCRF需要修
改子会话 1和 2对应的 PCC规则, 则在 S9会话更新消息中带有 S9会话 Id以及对 应的子会话 1和 2的 PCC规则, 同时更改针对子会话的 (即对应的 IPCAN会话 和 /或网关控制会话) APN-AMBR参数。 具体包括以下歩骤:
1、 用户已经建立了 3个 IP-CAN会话, 3个网关控制会话, 分别对应于三个 S9 子会话 S9— 1、 S9— 2和 S9— 3。
2、 由于接入技术变化或其它条件的触发, BBERF ( S-GW) 发起网关控制 会话更新, 因为有三个网关控制会话, BBERF ( S-GW) 可能同时发起三个 网关控制会话的更新, 也可以只在其中一个发起。
3、 VPCRF发起 S9会话的更新, 消息中带有触发事件和 S9会话 Id, 但是不带 有任何 S9子会话 Id, 表明这些事件是针对所有子会话的。
4、 HPCRF根据触发事件修改对应的 PCC规则, HPCRF发送 S9会话更新消息 应答给 VPCRF , PCC规则里包含 PDN信息, 具体实现方式可以为扩展 Charging-Rule-Defmition的定义, 携带子会话信息; 或者为, 扩展 Charging- Rule-Install的定义, 表明所有安装的规则都是针对某一子会话的。
同时 HPCRF也修改了每个 PDN下所有非 GBR承载共享的最大带宽 ( APN-AMBR ) 参数, 具体实现时, 可以在 CCA消息里携带多个 APN- AMBR参数:
<CC-Answer> ::= < Diameter Header: 272, PXY >
< Session-Id > 只带主会话 ID, 表明该消息是针对主会话的 { Auth- Application-Id }
{ Origin-Host }
{ Origin-Realm }
*[ APN-AMBR ] *表示携带多个
其他 AVP省略
每个 APN-AMBR的具体定义为:
APN-AMBR ::= < A VP Header:xxxx >
[ Max-Requested-Bandwidth-UL ]
[ Max-Requested-Bandwidth-DL ]
[CC-Sub-Session-Id]
*[ AVP ]
其中, CC-Sub-Session-Id表示与之关联的子会话信息, 这样可以在一条 消息里携带多个 APN-AMBR参数, 每个都关联到一个子会话 (比如子会话 1, 2 ) 。
5、 VPCRF发送网关控制会话消息应答 (CCA) 给 BBERF ( S-GW) , 如果 HPCRF返回的规则有对应的子会话信息, 则在相应消息中直接发送规则给 BBERF。
6、 如果 BBERF只发起了一个网关控制会话更新, 而 HPCRF返回的规则有针 对其他子会话的, 则 VPCRF主动在其他网关控制会话发起规则更新过程
(通过 RAR消息发送) 。
7、 因为 HPCRF返回了修改的 APN-AMBR参数有针对子会话 1的, 则还要向 对应的 PCEF 1发送修改的 APN-AMBR参数。
8、 因为 HPCRF返回了修改的 APN-AMBR参数有针对子会话 2的, 则还要向 对应的 PCEF2发送修改的 APN-AMBR参数。 由上述实施例可知, 通过在 S9会话消息中携带 PDN信息, 实现了: 多 PDN场景下, S9会话能够区分和处理 IP-CAN会话和网关控制会话的建立、 修改和删除, 进而 V-PCRF能够理解 H-PCRF下发的信息, 把信息发送到正 确的 PCEF或者 BBERF上去执行; 以及 V-PCRF可以把 PDN连接释放信息上 报给 H-PCRF, H-PCRF释放对应的 PDN连接信息, 避免了无效的资源占用以 及保证了正确的策略制定。 通过以上的实施方式的描述, 本领域的技术人员可以清楚地了解到本发 明可借助软件加必需的硬件平台的方式来实现, 当然也可以全部通过硬件来 实施, 但很多情况下前者是更佳的实施方式。 基于这样的理解, 本发明的技
