Description

一种资源接纳控制系统间的交互方法和装置 技术领域
本发明涉及通信领域, 尤其涉及一种资源接纳控制系统间的交互方法和 装置。
背景技术
NGN ( Network Generation Network, 下一代网络)是当前通信标准领域 的一个热点研究课题, 它釆用 IP等分组技术作为承载网技术融合固定通信和 移动通信。 NGN可以提供更丰富的多媒体业务, 如具有实时要求的新兴业务 (如 VoIP、 视频会议、 多媒体远程教学、 视频点播等) , 这些业务要求通信 网络能提供高效的端到端的服务质量(Quality of Service, QoS ) 支持; 同时 用户对网络服务质量的要求也越来越高。 因此, 如何提供端到端的 QoS将是 NGN的核心问题之一。
国际电信联盟电信标准化部门 ( International Telecommunication
Union-Telecommunications standardization sector, 简称为 ITU-T )是国际电信 联盟 ( International Telecommunication Union, 简称为 ITU ) 的电信化部门, 制定了有关资源接纳控制的标准。 在 ITU-T公布的最新的资源接纳控制功能 ( Resource and Admission Control Functions , 简称为 RACF )草案中, 提供了 RACF的功能框架, 如图 1所示, RACF由两部分组成, 分别是策略决策功能 实体( Policy Decision Functional Entity, 简称为 PD-FE )和传输资源控制功能 实体 ( Transport Resource Control Functional Entity, TRC-FE ) , 其中, TRC-FE 通过 Rc 与传输功能交互, 通过 Rn 与传输资源执行功能实体 ( Transport Resource Enforcement Functional Entity, 简称为 TRE-FE )交互, 并且, PD-FE 通过 Rt与 TRC-FE交互,通过 Rh与用户驻地网( Customer Premises Network, 简称为 CPN ) 交互, 通过 Rw 与策略执行功能实体 ( Policy Enforcement Functional Entity, 简称为 PE-FE ) 交互, 通过 Rs 与业务层的业务控制功能 ( Service Control Functions, 简称为 SCF ) 交互, 通过 Ru与网络附着控制功 能(Network Attachment Control Functions, 简称为 NACF )交互, 并且 PD-FE 通过 Ri接口与其他下一代网络交互。
此外, PD-FE与传输技术无关, 与 SCF也无关, PD-FE基于网络策略规 则、 SCF提供的业务信息、 NACF提供的传输层签约信息, 以及 TRC-FE提 供的资源可用性决策结果, 做出资源接纳控制的最后决策。
TRC-FE与业务无关, 但与传输技术相关。 TRC-FE负责收集和维护传输 网信息和资源状态信息。 从 PD-FE收到资源请求后, TRC-FE基于 QoS、 优 先级需求、 资源可用性信息以及与传输相关的策略规则, 执行基于资源的接 纳控制。
传输层由策略执行功能实体 PE-FE和传输资源执行功能实体 TRE-FE组 成。 PE-FE执行 PD-FE下发的策略规则, PE-FE是包到包( Packet-to-packet ) 网关, 可以位于用户驻地网 CPN和接入网络之间、接入网和核心网之间或者 不同运营商网络之间, 是支持动态 QoS控制、 端口地址转换控制和网络地址 转换(Network Address Translator, 简称为 NAT ) 穿越的关键节点。 TRE-FE 执行 TRC-FE下发的传输资源策略规则,其范围和功能以及 Rn接口有待进一 步研究, 不在 R2阶段的研究范围。
TISPAN ( Telecommunication and Internet converged Services and Protocols for Advanced Networking, 用于高级网络的通信和互联网融合的业务和协议) 从固定接入角度出发, 提出了 RACS ( Resource and Admission Control Subsystem, 资源接纳控制子系统)来解决 NGN承载网的 QoS问题。 TISPAN 将 NGN 架构分为业务层和传输层, 在传输控制层引入了 RACS 与 NASS ( Network Attachment Subsystem, 网络附着子系统), RACS解决 NGN承载 网的 QoS 问题, 而 NASS 则负责为上层业务层提供独立的用户接入管理。 TISPAN RACS的主要功能与 ITU-T RACF类似。
TISPAN RACS的功能架构如图 2所示。 RACS是 NGN组成部分之一, 它将业务层(如 IMS ) 的资源需求与网络承载层的资源分配相关联, 主要完 成策略控制、 资源预留、 接纳控制、 NAT 穿越等功能。 RACS 通过一系列 QoS策略为应用功能(Application Function, AF )提供传输层的控制服务, 使 得用户终端 (User Equipment, UE )可以获得所需 QoS保证的业务。
RACS由两个实体组成: SPDF ( Service-based Policy Decision Function, 基于业务的策略决策功能)和 A-RACF( Access-Resource and Admission Control Function, 接入资源接纳控制功能) , 其中:
SPDF, 向应用功能提供统一的接口, 屏蔽底层网络拓朴和具体的接入类 型,提供基于业务的策略控制。 SPDF根据应用功能 AF的请求选择本地策略, 并将请求映射成 QoS参数,发送给 A-RACF和 BGF( Border Gateway Function , 边界网关功能) , 以控制相应的资源。
A-RACF, 控制接入网, 具有接纳控制和网络策略汇聚的功能。 从 SPDF 接收请求, 然后基于接入网策略实现接纳控制, 接受或拒绝对传输资源的请 求。 A-RACF通过 e4接口从网络附着子系统(NASS )获得网络附着信息和 用户 QoS清单信息, 从而可以根据网络位置信息(例如接入用户的物理节点 的地址)确定可用的网络资源, 同时在处理资源分配请求时检查所请求的带 宽信息是否与用户接入清单中描述的一致。
传输层中包含二种功能实体: BGF ( Border Gateway Function , 边界网关 功能)和 RCEF ( Resource Control Enforcement Function,资源控制执行功能), 其中:
BGF , 是一个包到包网关, 可位于接入网和核心网之间 (实现核心边界 网关功能) , 也可以位于两个核心网之间 (实现互联边界网关功能) 。 BGF 在 SPDF的控制下完成 NAT穿越、 门控、 QoS标记、 带宽限制、 使用测量以 及资源同步功能。
RCEF, 实施 A-RACF通过 Re接口传送过来的二层 /三层( L2/L3 )媒体 流策略, 完成门控、 QoS标记、 带宽限制等功能。
3GPP ( The 3rd Generation Partnership Project, 第三代合作伙伴计划)则 从移动接入角度出发, 提出了 PCC ( Policy Control and Charging, 策略控制和 计费 ) ,来完成资源接纳控制功能。 PCC位于业务控制层和接入 /承载层之间, 针对移动接入网的特性实现一定的 QoS控制机制, 主要提供的功能有: 基于 用户的定制信息实现策略控制、 基于业务数据流的计费控制。
3GPP PCC的功能架构图如图 3所示。 PCRF ( Policy and Charging Rule Function, 策略与计费规则功能) 包括策略控制决策和按流计费控制功能。 PCRF提供了面向 PCEF ( Policy and Charging Enforcement Function, 策略与计 费执行功能) 的有关业务数据流的检测、 门控、 QoS和按流计费 (信用度管 理除外) 的网络控制功能。
PCEF包括业务数据流检测、策略实施和按流计费功能。该功能实体位于 网关( GW ) 。 PCEF提供业务数据流检测、 用户平面流量处理、 触发控制平 面会话管理、 QoS 实施、 业务数据流测量以及与计费系统交互。 SPR ( Subscription Profile Repository, 签约清单库)存储用户签约数据。 OCS和 OFCS分别是在线计费系统和离线计费系统, 其中在 OCS中, 包括移动网络 增强定制应用逻辑业务控制点 ( CAMEL SCP )和基于信用控制的业务数据流 ( Service Data Flow Based Credit Control ) 。
移动网络在多媒体业务带宽方面的保障不如固定网络或者 WIFI等无线 局域网, 并且移动网络中 MBMS ( Multimedia Broadcast/Multicast Service , 多 媒体广播组播业务)和 PSS ( Packet-switched Streaming Service, 包交换流媒 体业务)提供的业务不如 IPTV业务丰富, 因此移动用户可以考虑在家里接入 IPTV业务。 由于固定网络(简称固网)、 移动网络均部署实施了各自的资源 控制系统和业务功能, 当移动用户 (双模移动终端)通过固定网络接入并访 问固定网络中的 IPTV业务时, 为了提供 QoS支持, 固网中的资源接纳控制 功能实体 RACF/RACS需要与移动网络中的策略与计费规则功能 PCRF交互, 其组网方案如图 4所示, PCRF与移动用户信息库相连。 图 5进一步给出了 RACF/RACS与 PCC的交互图, RACF/RACS与 PCC通过接口 S9,相连, 该 接口主要用于 RACF/RACS与 PCC间的信息交互。 由于 RACF、 RACS、 PCC 在架构、 网络范围以及涉及的节点类型方面存在很大差异, 现有技术下的 RACF、 RACS、 PCC支持的功能无法保证图 4/图 5所示场景下用户的业务体 验质量。 解决现有技术中 RACF、 RACS、 PCC之间无法协同 /交互工作的问 题, 是亟需解决的问题。
