Description

一种控制本地交换的方法及系统 本申请要求于 2009年 2月 26日提交中国专利局、申请号为 200910105674. 7、发明 名称为 "一种控制本地交换的方法及系统"的中国专利申请的优先权, 其全部内容通过 引用结合在本申请中。 技术领域 本发明涉及网络通信技术,尤其涉及一种网络通信过程中控制本地交换的方法及系 统。 背景技术 在通信网络中, 为了改善用户体验和减少资源浪费, 通常会采用本地交换技术。 即 当通信路径上下行有重叠时, 在最靠近通信节点的网元处进行数据转发, 从而减少网络 侧承载资源浪费。 例如, 假设有终端 MS1和 MS2进行数据交换, MS1发出的数据包到达接 入服务网关 ASN GW1 , 则 ASN GW1将数据包发送到 CSN (连接服务网) , 再由 CSN网络将数 据包发给 MS2的 ASN GW2, 由 ASN GW2将数据包进行下行转发最终到达 MS2; 如果 ASN GW1 和 ASN GW2是同一个网元, 则 ASN GW1处的转发可以简化, 即 ASN GW1收到 MS1的数据包后 发现目标地址(MS2 )在自身覆盖范围内, 则直接将数据包进行下行转发, 最终发送到 MS2; 这种将数据进行本地交换路由的操作就是本地交换的一种典型方式。
在实现本发明过程中, 发明人发现现有技术中至少存在如下问题:
现在的本地交换技术中, 由执行本地交换的网元自行判断是否能够进行本地交换, 执行本地交换的网元通常只能是数据面网元, 例如: 在 WIMAX网络中的 DPF (DataPath Function, 数据通路功能)所在的 BS (Base Station, 基站)、 ASN GW (接入服务网关)、 和 FA (Policy Function, 策略功能)等, 因此信令面网元, 如: PCRF (Policy Charging Rule Function, 策略计费规则功能)、 PF (Policy Function, 策略功能) 等, 没有办 法控制本地交换,从而导致运营商无法动态控制本地交换。尤其是当 ASN (接入服务网) 与 CSN (连接服务网)分别由不同运营商运营时, 由于执行本地交换的数据面网元通常 位于 ASN内, CSN的网络运营商将完全无法控制承载网络中的本地交换。 发明内容 本发明的实施例提供了一种控制本地交换的方法及系统, 以使得在通信网络中信令 面网元可以控制本地交换。

所述 LS决策点, 用于接收来自所述签约数据库的第一 LS指示; 根据所述第一 LS指示 及本地策略判断是否允许进行本地交换; 如果允许进行本地交换, 向 LS控制点下发第二 LS指示; 否则, 不进行本地交换。

WiMAX网络中业务数据传输路径如图 1所示, 主要网元包括:
MS, 用户终端;
ASN, 接入服务网络, 包括 BS和 ASN GW;
CSN, 连接服务网络, 包含 AAA、 HA等网元;
BS, 基站, 提供空口连接;
ASN GW, 接入服务网络网关, 提供数据汇聚和信令中继功能;
HA, Home Agent, 家乡代理, 提供移动 IP (Mobile IP, MIP)服务;
PF, Policy Function, 策略功能, 负责基于用户的策略决策功能, 它既可位于 ASN 也可位于 CSN。 若位于 ASN中, 则位于 Authenticator (鉴权器)和 Anchor SFA (Anchor Service Flow Authorization, 锚服务流授权)所在的 ASN GW,称为 Local PF (本地 PF); 若位于 CSN中,则为单独网元,或位于 AAA server中。在网络部署了 PCC (Policy Charging Control , 策略计费控制) 系统的场景下, PF被 PCRF (Policy Charging Rule Function, 策略计费规则功能)取代, 位于 CSN中。
AAA Server (Authentication Authorization Accounting Server, 鉴权授权计费 服务器) 负责终端用户的鉴权授权计费。 漫游场景下, 拜访地网络中的 AAA服务器也称 为 AAA proxy (AAA代理服务器) 。
WiMAX系统的业务数据通道包括 R1接口 (MS与 BS之间) 的空口承载、 R6接口 (BS与 ASN GW之间)和 R4接口 (ASN GW之间) 的 Datapath、 R3接口 (ASN GW与 HA之间) 的 MIP 隧道。 通用的数据通道如图 1中粗线所示。 当整个数据通道有部分重叠时, 或数据重复 经过同一个网元时, 可在该网元进行数据的本地交换。 当存在多个能够进行本地交换的 网元时, 为了达到最佳效果, 通常选择在离通信节点最近的网元进行本地交换。 本实施例提供的控制 LS ( Local Switching, 本地交换) 的系统, 如图 2所示, 主 要包括: 签约数据库, 用于保存用户业务签约数据, 它可以位于 AAA服务器或 SPR (Subscription Profile Repository, 用户签约数据库)上。 本发明实施例中可以在 用户业务签约数据中增加第一 LS指示, 用于指示相关服务流进行本地交换。这里的 LS指 示是保存在签约数据库中的本地交换策略。
LS决策点, 用于根据来自签约数据库的第一 LS指示来判断是否允许进行本地交换, 如果允许, 则向 LS控制点下发第二 LS指示; 否则不进行本地交换。 它可以位于信令面网 元上, 例如: PF、 Local PF (本地 PF) 、 或 PCRF上。
LS控制点, 用于根据来自 LS决策点的第二 LS指示, 判断是否进行本地交换, 或直接 根据第二 LS通知相关网元进行本地交换。 它通常位于数据面网元上, 例如: 位于 ASN GW 或者 BS上。 根据适用范围不同, 第一 LS指示可以分为以下几类: 基于用户的、 基于终端的、 基 于业务的、 基于服务流的、 基于位置的、 或者以上的组合。
基于用户的第一 LS指示适用于该用户的所有服务流。基于终端的第一 LS指示适用于 该终端的所有服务流。基于业务的 LS指示适用于该业务包括的所有服务流。基于服务流 的 LS指示适用于该服务流。基于位置的第一 LS指示适用于指定位置的网元,可以是 ASN GW 或者 BS, 表示允许该网元对所有能进行本地交换的服务流执行本地交换。 进一步, 第一 LS指示可以为基于用户 +终端的 LS指示, 意为该用户使用该终端时, 所有的服务流允许本地交换。基于用户 /终端 /业务 /服务流 +位置的 LS指示, 意为允许指 定网元对符合条件的业务流执行本地交换, 例如基于用户 +位置的 LS指示, 即为允许指 定位置的网元对该用户的服务流执行本地交换。
本发明实施例控制本地交换的方法, 包括:
1、 本地交换 LS决策点接收来自签约数据库的第一 LS指示;
2、 所述 LS决策点根据所述第一 LS指示及本地策略判断是否允许进行本地交换; 其中: 如果本地策略允许第一 LS指示中的本地交换类型, 则允许进行本地交换; 如 果本地策略不允许第一 LS指示中的本地交换类型, 则不允许进行本地交换; 所述 LS决策 点位于信令面网元上。
3、 如果允许进行本地交换, 则所述 LS决策点向 LS控制点下发第二 LS指示; 否则, 不进行本地交换。 进一步的, LS控制点可根据所述第二 LS指示通知负责执行本地交换的网元进行本地 交换。 或者, 根据所述第二 LS指示及本地策略判断是否进行本地交换, 如果是, 则通知 负责执行本地交换的网元进行本地交换, 否则, 不进行本地交换, 执行现有技术相关流 程。 实施例一 本发明实施例控制本地交换的方法参考图 3, 包括:
301、 签约数据库向 LS决策点下发第一 LS指示, 具体为: 当有触发条件发生时, 签约数据库向 LS决策点下发第一 LS指示, 该指示是保存在签 约数据库中的本地交换策略, 可以被包含在用户业务签约信息中。 本发明并不限定这个 LS指示的具体形式, 这里仅给出两种可行的形式: 1, 使用一个复合参数来表示本地交 换策略, 即 LS指示参数包括两部分, 前一部分用于表示本地交换的类型, 用于区分是基 于服务流、 基于用户、 基于终端、 基于业务、 基于位置、 或其组合的本地交换, 后一部 分用于表示允许本地交换的对象, 例如服务流标识、 用户标识、 终端标识、 业务标识、 位置信息、 或其组合等。 2, 作为一个单独的参数, 当它与其他参数在一起时, 组合起 来表示本地交换策略, 例如: 将 LS指示放在 SF Info (服务流信息) 参数中表示允许该 服务流本地交换、 放在 user profile (用户档案) 中表示允许该用户或终端的所有服务 流本地交换、 放在业务描述信息中表示允许该业务的服务流本地交换、 或是与位置信息 组合表示允许基于位置的本地交换。 触发条件可以有多种, 例如签约数据库收到 LS决策点的请求消息、 签约数据库中的 用户业务签约信息发生变化或运营商改变 LS策略等。
302、 LS决策点根据来自签约数据库的第一 LS指示进行 LS决策。
LS决策点收到第一 LS指示后, 判断是否允许本地交换。 判断是否允许本地交换可以 根据第一 LS指示及 LS决策点的本地策略来进行。这里所说的 LS决策点的本地策略指的是 保存在 LS决策点的与本地交换有关的策略,它可以为运营商预先配置在 LS决策点上的本 地交换策略、 LS决策点从 ASN获得的承载信息或服务流信息、 LS决策点从 CSN获得的计费 或 QoS控制策略等。 当 LS决策点没有相关的本地策略或本地策略允许进行步骤 301中第一 LS指示所表示 的本地交换类型, 则这里作出的 LS决策与步骤 301中的签约数据库发送的本地交换策略 相同; 例如: 当签约数据库发送的 LS指示是允许当前服务流进行本地交换, 则 LS决策点 作出判断允许当前服务流进行本地交换。 当 LS决策点本地策略不允许进行本地交换,则这里作出的决策是不允许进行本地交 换。 例如: 签约数据库提供的本地交换策略是允许进行某种类型的本地交换, 但是 LS决 策点在此之前已得知当前网络的计费点位于 CSN内 (例如 HA ) , 并且所有服务流必须被 计费, 因此所有服务流必须经过 CSN来完成计费信息的收集, 则 LS决策点作出判断不允 许进行本地交换, 后续的流程不再涉及本地交换。 当 LS决策点的本地策略不允许进行步骤 301中第一 LS指示所表示的本地交换类型, 但可允许 LS指示中范围较小的本地交换类型, 如: 允许用户的部分服务流或终端的部分 服务流进行本地交换, 则这里作出的 LS决策则与步骤 301中的签约数据库发送的本地交 换策略不同, 仅允许第一 LS指示中的部分服务流进行本地交换; 例如签约数据库提供的 本地交换策略是允许当前用户进行本地交换,但是 LS决策点在此之前已得知该用户的某 些服务流必须由后端网元进行合法监听, 因此这些被监听的服务流不能进行本地交换, 则 LS决策点做出判断仅允许该用户除该部分被合法监听的服务流之外的服务流进行本 地交换。
303、 如果 LS决策点允许进行本地交换, 则 LS决策点向 LS控制点下发第二 LS指示, 表示 LS决策点允许进行某种类型的本地交换;如果 LS决策点仅允许部分服务流进行本地 交换, 则 LS决策点向 LS控制点下发第二 LS指示中指明允许部分服务流进行本地交换。 304、 LS控制点根据来自 LS决策点的第二 LS指示和 LS控制点本地策略判断是否执行 本地交换, 如果是, 则通知负责执行本地交换的数据面网元进行本地交换。 否则执行现 有技术相关流程, 不再赘述。 或 LS控制点根据所述第二 LS指示通知负责执行本地交换的 数据面网元进行本地交换。 这里提到的 LS控制点的本地策略是指 LS控制点保存的本地交换相关的策略,包括但 不限于运营商预配置的本地交换策略、 LS控制点维护的用户终端服务流上下文、 计费或 QoS控制策略等。 实施例二 本实施例中, 签约数据库位于 AAA服务器, LS决策点和 LS控制点均位于 Anchor SFA (Anchor Service Flow Authorizat ion, 锚服务流授权) 所在的 ASN GW上, 同时这个 ASN GW也是用于 dynamic QoS控制的 Local PF所在的网元。 ASN GW进行的 LS决策和 LS控 制的步骤合并为一个控制步骤。 本实施例适用于非 PCC场景, 包括 dynamic QoS和非 dynamic QoS。 本发明实施例本地交换的方法参考图 4, 包括: 401、 当终端入网鉴权成功, AAA服务器向 Authent icator (鉴权器) 和 Anchor SFA 所在的 ASN GW发送 Access Accept (接入准许) 消息, 消息中携带有 LS指示; 所述的 LS 指示可以携带在 Access Accept消息的用户签约信息中。 或者用户签约信息被更新时, AAA服务器向该 ASN GW发送 CoA Request ( Change Of Authorizat ion request , 授权更改请求) 消息, 消息中携带有 LS指示; LS指示可以携 带 CoA Request消息中更新后的用户签约信息中; ASN GW收到 CoA request后, 可向 AAA 服务器返回 CoA Response消息作为回应。
402、 ASN GW保存收到的用户签约信息。 然后 ASN GW根据 LS指示和本地策略判断是 否允许进行本地交换, 如果不进行本地交换, 则按照现有技术发起预置流 ( pre-provi s ion service flow)建立过程 (如果收至 U的是 Access Accept消息) , 或 者服务流(包括预置流和已建立的动态服务流)建立 /修改 /删除过程(如果收到的是 CoA 消息) ; 如果决定进行本地交换, 则发起本地交换的预置流建立过程, 或者发起本地交 换的服务流(包括预置流和已建立的动态服务流)建立 /修改 /删除过程。如果决定允许 部分服务流进行本地交换,则针对允许进行本地交换的部分服务流发起本地交换的预置 流建立过程, 或者发起本地交换的服务流建立 /修改 /删除过程。
本实施例同样适用于 Dynamic QoS场景中的终端发起的动态服务流建立 /修改过程,
MA服务器向 ASN GW下发第一 LS指示的步骤与步骤 401类似, 不再赘述; 步骤 402为: MS 可随时请求动态服务流的建立 /修改, 当 ASN GW收到 MS的服务流建立或修改请求时, 判 断是否进行本地交换,如果不进行本地交换,则按现有技术返回服务流建立或修改响应; 如果进行本地交换,则向执行本地交换的数据面网元返回带有 LS指示的服务流建立或修 改响应, 以使得数据面网元执行本地交换的服务流建立或修改; 如果允许部分服务流进 行本地交换, 则 LS指示指明允许部分服务流进行本地交换。 实施例三
本实施例中签约数据库位于 AAA服务器, LS决策点位于 PCRF或者 PF上, LS控制点位 于接入服务网络策略计费执行功能 A-PCEF或 Anchor SFA所在的 ASN GW上。 本发明实施例本地交换的方法参考图 5, 包括:
501、该步骤与实施例二中步骤 401类似, ASN GW收到来自 AAA服务器的 Access Accept 消息或 CoA Request消息, 其中携带有第一 LS指示, 不再赘述。
502、 ASN GW向 PCRF/PF发授权请求。 具体为: 如果是 PCC场景, 则 ASN GW向 PCRF发送 IP CAN Session建立请求消息, 该请求消息 可以为 DIAMETER协议的 CCR (Credit Control Request, 信用控制请求) 消息, 消息中 携带步骤 501中收到的第一 LS指示。 或者, 经过步骤 501之后的任意时刻, ASN GW需要发 起 IP CAN Session修改, 或者收到 IP CAN Bear信令, 例如 RR Request消息, 用于请求 IP CAN Session修改, 则 ASN GW向 PCRF发送 IP CAN Session修改请求, 请求消息可以使 用 DIAMETER协议的 CCR消息,消息中携带步骤 501中收到的 LS指示。需要说明的是, ASN GW 与 PCRF之间的消息可能需要通过 PDF (Policy Distribution Function, 策略分发功能) 转发, 后面凡是涉及到 PCRF与 ASN GW之间的交互都是如此, 不再重复说明。 如果是 PF场景, 贝 ijASN GW向 PF发送 SFA LU (Service Flow Authorization Location Update,月艮务流授权位置更新)请求消息或 RR request (Resource Reservation request, 资源预留请求) 消息, 消息中携带步骤 501中收到的第一 LS指示。
503、 PCRF/PF根据第一 LS指示及本地策略判断是否允许本地交换, 然后返回授权响 应。 具体为:
如果是 PCC场景, 则 PCRF向 ASN GW返回 IP CAN Session建立响应或 IP CAN Session 修改响应, 响应消息可使用 DIAMETER协议的 CCA (Credit Control Answer, 信用控制应 答)消息。 如允许进行本地交换, 消息中带有第二 LS指示; 如果允许部分服务流进行本 地交换, 则消息中携带的第二 LS指示指明允许部分服务流进行本地交换; 如果不允许, 则消息中没有第二 LS指示, 执行现有技术的相关流程。 如果是 PF场景, 则 PF向 ASN GW发送 RR request消息 (作为对 SFA LU消息的响应) 或 RR response消息 (作为对 RR request的响应) 。 如允许进行本地交换, 消息中带有第 二 LS指示。 如果允许部分服务流进行本地交换, 则消息中携带的第二 LS指示指明允许部 分服务流进行本地交换; 如果不允许, 则消息中没有第二 LS指示, 执行现有技术的相关 流程。
504、 ASN GW收到来自 PCRF/PF的第二 LS指示后, 判断是否进行本地交换, 如果是, 则向 Anchor DPF (Anchor Datapath Funct ion, 锚数据通路功能)所在的 ASN GW发送带 第二 LS指示的 RR request , 来发起用于本地交换的承载建立; 或者向 Anchor DPF所在的 ASN GW发送带 LS指示的 IP CAN Bear信令响应, 例如 RR response , 来确认用于本地交换 的承载建立。 否则, 按现有技术发送 RR request给 Anchor DPF所在的 ASN GW, 发起承载 建立过程; 或者按现有技术发送 RR response给 Anchor DPF所在的 ASN GW作为 IP CAN Bear 信令的响 应。 实施例四
本实施例中签约数据库位于 SPR, LS决策点位于 PCRF, LS控制点位于 A-PCEF所在的 ASN GW。 适用于 PCC场景。 本发明实施例本地交换的方法参考图 6, 包括:
601、 ASN GW向 PCRF发授权请求。 具体为:
ASN GW向 PCRF发送 IP CAN Sess ion建立请求, 请求消息可使用 DIAMETER协议的 CCR ( credit control request , 信用控制请求) 消息。 或者, ASN GW需要发起 IP CAN Sess ion修改, 或者收到 IP CAN Bear信令, 例如 RR Request消息, 用于请求 IP CAN Sess ion修改, 则 ASN GW向 PCRF发送 IP CAN Sess ion修 改请求, 请求消息使用 DIAMETER协议的 CCR消息。 需要说明的是, ASN GW与 PCRF之间的 消息可能需要通过 PDF ( Pol icy Di stribut ion Funct ion, 策略分发功能)转发。
602、 PCRF从 SPR获取用户签约信息, 其中包括第一 LS指示。 该步骤可能由步骤 601触发之后,则为步骤 601后, PCRF向 SPR发请求消息, SPR向 PCRF 发送用户签约信息。 该步骤也可能与步骤 601无关, 发生在步骤 601之前或者同时发生, 则为 SPR主动向 PCRF发送用户签约信息。
603、 PCRF判断是否允许本地交换, 然后返回授权响应。 具体为:
PCRF向 ASN GW返回 IP CAN Sess ion建立响应或 IP CAN Sess ion修改响应, 响应消息 使用 DIAMETER协议的 CCA (Credit Control Answer, 信用控制应答) 消息。 如 PCRF允许 进行本地交换, 消息中带有第二 LS指示。 如果允许部分服务流进行本地交换, 则消息中 携带的第二 LS指示指明允许部分服务流进行本地交换; 604、 ASN GW收到来自 PCRF的第二 LS指示后, 判断是否进行本地交换, 如果是, 则 向 Anchor DPF (Anchor Datapath Function, 锚数据通路功能)所在的 ASN GW发送带第 二 LS指示的 RR request, 来发起用于本地交换的承载建立; 或者向 Anchor DPF所在的 ASN GW发送带 LS指示的 IP CAN Bear信令响应, 例如 RR response, 来确认用于本地交换的承 载建立。 否则, 按现有技术发送 RR request给 Anchor DPF所在的 ASN GW, 发起承载建立, 或者按现有技术发送 RR response给 Anchor DPF所在的 ASN GW, 确认承载建立。 本实施例中, SPR可能是一个逻辑功能,它可位于 AAA服务器中,则步骤 602应为 PCRF 从 AAA服务器获取用户签约信息, 其中包括第一 LS指示。 实施例五 本发明实施例本地交换的方法参考图 7, 包括: 本实施例适用于 PCC场景, 签约数据库位于 SPR, LS决策点位于 PCRF, LS控制点位于 A-PCEF所在的 ASN GW。
701、 PCRF从 SPR获取用户签约信息, 其中包括第一 LS指示。 可能是 PCRF做内部决策或者收到来自 AF的业务建立请求触发 PCRF向 SPR请求用户签 约信息,然后 SPR向 PCRF发送用户签约信息;也可能是 SPR主动向 PCRF发送用户签约信息。
702、 PCRF判断是否允许本地交换, 如果允许, 则向 ASN GW发送 IP CAN Session修 改请求, 该请求使用 DIAMETER协议的 RAR (Re-Authorization Request , 重授权请求) 消息, 消息中带有第二 LS指示。 如果允许部分服务流进行本地交换, 则消息中携带的第 二 LS指示指明允许部分服务流进行本地交换; 703、 ASN GW判断是否进行本地交换, 如果是, 则发起本地交换的承载建立。 否则, 按现有技术发起承载建立。
704、 ASN GW向 PCRF返回 IP CAN Session修改响应, 该响应使用 DIAMETER协议的 RAA (Re-Authorization Answer, 重授权应答) 消息。 本实施例中, SPR可能是一个逻辑功能, 它位于 AAA服务器中, 则步骤 701应为 PCRF 从 AAA服务器获取用户签约信息, 其中包括 LS指示。
