Description

策略和计费控制的方法及系统 技术领域
本发明涉及策略和计费控制( PCC, Policy and Charging Control )技术, 尤其涉及一种码分多址系统中策略和计费控制的方法及系统。 背景技术
图 1为码分多址( cdma, Code Division Multiple Access )2000 lx及 HRPD ( HRPD, High Rate Packet Data ) PDS ( packet data service, 分组数据业务) 部分网络参考模型示意图, 如图 1所示, 第三代合作伙伴计划 2 ( 3GPP2, 3rd Generation Partnership Project2 )定义的码分多址 cdma2000 lx和高速分 组数据 HRPD网络架构, 主要由移动台 ( MS , Mobile Station ) /接入终端设 备( AT, Access Terminal,或称终端设备 ) /用户设备 ( UE, User Equipment )、 无线接入网络(RAN, Radio Access Network ), 分组数据服务节点( PDSN, Packet Data Serving Node )、 家乡代理( HA, Home Agent ) /本地移动锚点 ( LMA, Local Mobility Anchor )、远程用户拨号认证系统( RADIUS , Remote Authentication Dial In User Service ) /认证授权计费服务器 (AAA , Authentication Authorization Accounting )以及其他核心网络设备和支撑节点 组成。 其中, MS/AT通过无线接口和 RAN实现连接。 RAN包括基站( BS, Base Station, )和分组控制功能(PCF, Packet Control Function ), 其中 BS 主要用于在小区建立无线覆盖, 为终端设备提供分组数据业务的空中接口; PCF主要用于控制无线网络资源, 转发无线系统和 PDSN分组控制单元之 间的消息。
PDSN通过 RAN 为终端设备提供到 Internet或应用服务器、 或者到 HA/LMA的接入, 其作用是建立、 维护 MS/AT和 PDSN之间的点到点协议 ( PPP, Point to Point Protocol )会话; 接受并执行 RADIUS/AAA服务器对 MS/AT的认证、 授权和计费; 路由来自和发往分组数据网络或者 HA/LMA 的数据包等。
HA/LMA负责移动 IP场景下, 为终端设备分配本地地址、 转发上行和 下行数据包、 数据包的隧道封装等, 其中移动 IP包括客户端移动 IP版本 4 或版本 6 ( CMIPv4/v6, Client Mobile IP version 4/version 6,或称 MIPv4/v6, 移动 IP版本 4或者版本 6 )和代理移动 IP版本 4或版本 6 ( PMIPv4/v6, Proxy Mobile IPv4/v6 )。
认证 /4受权 /计费 ( AAA, Authentication、 Authorization、 Accounting )月良 务器(又称为远程用户拨号认证 ( RADIUS, Remote Authentication Dial In User Service )服务器)是认证授权计费服务器, 其主要作用是管理哪些用 户可以访问网络, 具有访问权的用户可以得到哪些服务, 如何对正在使用 网络资源的用户进行计费等。
如图 1所示, cdma2000网络可以通过 PCC技术实现资源的合理分配和 控制。由于终端设备在接入 cdma2000系统时,可以通过多种接入模式接入, 比^口简单 IPv4/v6 ( SIPv4/v6, Simple IPv4/v6 )、 PMIPv4/v6、 CMIPv4/v6等, 在不同的接入模式下 , 网络侧相关网元如 PDSN、 HA/LMA在 PCC技术中 充当的角色和执行的功能也是不同的。 概括的来说, 用户终端设备通过 SIPv4/v6接入时, PDSN执行策略控制执行实体(PCEF, Policy Control Enforcement Function ) 的功能, 网络中无 HA/LMA , 无承载绑定和时间上 才艮实体 ( BBERF , Bearer Binding and Event Trigger Report Function ); PDSN/PCEF和策略控制规则实体( PCRF, Policy Control Rule Function )通 过 Gx接口来传输相关的策略信息。 图 2是终端设备 MS/AT通过 CMIPv6 接入并建立 PCC 会话的架构图, 如图 2 所示, 当用户终端设备通过 PMIPv4/v6、 CMIPv4/v6接入时, PDSN执行 BBERF功能, 与 PCRF通过 Gxa 建立网关控制会话 (GW control session ) 并传递相关的策格信息, HA/LMA执行 PCEF的功能, 与 PCRF通过 Gx 口建立 IP连接接入网络 ( IP-CAN , IP-Connectivity Access Network )会话, 并传递相关的策略信息, PCRF将属于同一终端的同一个 IP连接(IP连接概念见下文解释) 的网关 控制会话和 IP-CAN会话关联到一起, 在制定 PCC策略时一起制定, 并分 别下发到 PDSN和 HA/LMA,完成对同一个终端同一个 IP连接的资源和计 费控制。 所谓的 PCRF将该两个会话作关联, 现有的机制是: PCRF收到 第一个会话请求 (比如网关控制会话请求), PCRF接受, 则该会话建立完 成,如果 PCRF又收到另一个会话建立请求(比如 IP-CAN会话请求), PCRF 则拿该 IP-CAN会话请求携带的参数和已经建立的网关控制会话的上下文 参数作对比, 如果发现这两个会话是属于同一个终端、 同一个 IP连接的会 话, 则将该两个回话关联到一起。
在不同的接入模式下, 终端可以建立不同的 IP连接过程。 其中, IP连 接是指终端获取了网络侧为其分配 /配置的 IP地址,并利用该地址连接到网 络、 拜访网络侧资源的一种关联。 一个终端可以同时拥有多个 IP连接, 比 如说, 终端可以同时建立 SIPv6和 CMIPv6的连接。 在不同的 IP连接中, 各个网元在釆用 PCC技术时充当角色和执行功能也不同,下面给出了 SIPv6 和 CMIPv6两种 IP连接建立流程的详细步骤分析, 并引出了潜在的问题。
图 3是终端设备 MS/AT通过 SIPv6接入并建立 PCC会话的流程图,如 图 3所示, MS/AT通过 SIPv6接入的流程具体包括以下步骤:
步骤 1 , 主业务连接建立。
步骤 2, PPP会话的链路控制协议( LCP, Link Control Protocol )协商 并选定鉴权方式。
步骤 3 , 通过步骤 2中选定的鉴权方式完成用户的接入鉴权和授权。 其 中 MS/AT与 PDSN互通相关的鉴权信令, PDSN和 AAA也通过接入请求 和接入应答执行鉴权的相关操作。 鉴权 /授权成功后, 相关的签约的服务质 量( QoS , Quality of Service )信息将会从 AAA发送给 PDSN。
步骤 4, PDSN将签约的 QoS参数发送给 RAN。
步骤 5 , MS/AT和 PDSN执行 IP版本 6控制协议 ( IPv6CP, IP Version 6 Control Protocol )协商步骤。
协商过程后, PDSN还会把本地链路(HL, Home Link )前缀发送给 MS/AT, MS/AT根据此前缀生成单播地址, 该过程未在图中示出。
步骤 6, PDSN作为 PCEF向 PCRF为该 MS/AT发起 IP-CAN会话建立 步骤。 其中, PDSN/PCEF在该消息中携带了 IP连接接入网络(IP-CAN, IP-Connectivity Access Network )类型、终端设备标识、分组数据网络( PDN, Packet Data Network )标识、 终端设备 IP地址(该地址是 PDSN为终端分 配)等信息。
由于 PDSN是作为 PCEF与 PCRF建立的 IP-CAN会话, 故 PDSN和 PCRF之间的接口釆用的是 Gx口。
该步骤未必一定发生在 IPv6CP协商完成后, 只要 PDSN收到 IPv6CP 配置请求, 就可以发起该步骤。
步骤 7, PCRF发送 IP-CAN会话建立应答给 PDSN/PCEF。 PCRF通过 IP-CAN会话向 PCEF提供 PCC规则以及事件选项等。
图 4是终端设备 MS/AT通过 CMIPv6接入并建立 PCC会话的流程图, 如图 4所示。 MS/AT通过 CMIPv6接入流程具体包括以下步骤:
步骤 1 , 主业务连接建立。
步骤 2, PPP会话的 LCP协商并选定鉴权方式。
步骤 3 , 通过步骤 2选定的鉴权方式完成用户的接入鉴权和授权。 其中 MS/AT与 PDSN互通相关的鉴权信令, PDSN和 AAA也通过接入请求和接 入应答执行鉴权的相关操作。 鉴权 /授权成功后, 相关的签约 QoS信息将会 从 AAA发送给 PDSN。
步骤 4, PDSN将签约的 QoS参数发送给 RAN。
步骤 5 , MS/AT和 PDSN执行 IPv6CP协商步骤。
协商过程中, PDSN还会把本地链路(HL, Home Link )前缀发送给 MS/AT , MS/AT根据此前缀生成单播地址 , 该过程未在图中示出。 此外, 终端还要向 PDSN通过 DHCP步骤获取自举(bootstrap )信息, 流程图中 未示出。
步骤 6, PDSN作为 BBERF向 PCRF为该 MS/AT发起网关 ( GW, Gateway )控制会话建立步骤。 其中 PDSN/BBERF在该消息中携带了会话 类型、 终端设备标识、 PDN标识、 终端设备 IP地址等信息。
由于 PDSN是作为 BBERF与 PCRF建立的 GW控制会话, 故 PDSN 和 PCRF之间的接口釆用的是 Gxa接口。
该步骤未必一定发生在 IPv6CP协商完成后, 只要 PDSN收到 IPv6CP 配置请求, 就可以发起该步骤。
步骤 7, PCRF发送 IP-CAN会话建立应答给 PDSN。
步骤 8, MS/AT发送 CMIPv6绑定更新请求消息给选定的 HA/LMA, 请求和 HA/LMA的绑定。
步骤 9, HA/LMA与 AAA互通鉴权信令, 完成对用户通过 CMIPv6接 入的鉴权和授权。
步骤 10 , HA/LMA接收到绑定请求并经 AAA授权后 , HA/LMA作为 PCEF向 PCRF发起 IP-CAN会话建立请求。
步骤 11 , PCRF向 HA/LMA/PCEF发送 IP-CAN会话建立应答, 完成 IP-CAN会话的建立, 并向 HA/LMA/PCEF下载相关的 PCC策略。
步骤 12, HA/LMA发送 CMIPv6绑定应答消息给 MS/AT, MS/AT完成 通过 CMIPv6方式的接入。 通过分析上述的如图 2及图 4的两个流程, 即 MS/AT通过 SIPv6接入 和 CMIPv6接入的时候, 前五个步骤即步骤 1至步骤 5的操作都是完全相 同的,没有任何的区别。但是 PDSN在后续的操作却是有区别的, 通过 SIPv6 接入时, PDSN的角色是 PCEF, 并与 PCRF通过 Gx接口建立 IP-CAN会 话; 通过 CMIPv6接入时, PDSN的角色是 BBERF, 并与 PCRF通过 Gxa 接口建立 GW控制会话; 由于 MS/AT到底是基于何种接入方式, 直至后续 MS/AT是否与 HA/LMA发起绑定才能确定,但是 PDSN需要提前就要根据 MS/AT的接入方式来选择相应的功能和角色, 因为 PDSN和 PCRF所建立 的会话、 釆用的接口是不同的。 上述图 2及图 4所示的 MS/AT接入方式, 显然不能提前确定 PDSN的角色, 也就不能确定 PDSN与 PCRF之间的接 口类型, 这无疑会影响 MS/AT准确及时地接入到网络。 发明内容

本发明的基本思想为: 终端设备在通过 MIPv6接入 cdma 系统时, PDSN与 PCRF分别建立网关控制会话和第一 IP连接接入网络 IP-CAN会 话; HA与所述 PCRF建立第二 IP-CAN会话; PCRF关联所述网关控制会 话和所述第二 IP-CAN会话。
其中, 如果终端直接通过 PDSN与外部分组数据网络通信, 此时终端 使用的是 PDSN为终端分配的 IP地址, 第一 IP-CAN会话为此通信数据提 供 PCC策略; 如果终端通过 HA与外部分组数据网络通信, 此时终端使用 的是 HA为终端分配的地址, 该地址称做 HoA (家乡地址;), 网关控制会话 和第二 IP-CAN会话关联后, 为此通信数据提供 PCC策略。
为使本发明的目的、 技术方案和优点更加清楚明白, 以下举实施例并 参照附图, 对本发明进一步详细说明。
实施例一
在本实施例中 , PDSN收到终端设备 MS/AT发送来的 IPv6CP配置请求 后, 或者终端设备获取自举( bootstrap )信息后, PDSN与 PCRF建立 GW 控制会话和 IP-CAN会话 -1; PCRF接收到 PDSN发送的会话建立请求后, 如果确定该两个会话是为同一个终端设备与同一个 PDSN建立的会话或者 根据携带关联地址(网关控制会话的家乡地址和 IP-CAN会话 -1 中的转交 地址)不同, 则 PCRF对这两个会话独立处理, 不作关联。 如果 PCRF收到 了 HA/LMA发送来的该终端设备的 IP-CAN会话 -2 建立请求, PCRF将 PDSN请求的 GW控制会话和 HA/LMA请求的 IP-CAN会话 -2关联, 可选 的, PCRF可以将 IP-CAN会话 -1释放。后续的操作按照现有技术执行即可。
图 5为本发明策略和计费控制的方法实施例一的流程图, 如图 5所示, 本示例策略和计费控制的方法包括以下步骤:
步骤 1 , 主业务连接建立。
步骤 2, PPP会话的 LCP协商并选定鉴权方式。
步骤 3 , 通过步骤 2中选定的鉴权方式完成用户的接入鉴权和授权。 其 中 MS/AT与 PDSN互通相关的鉴权信令, PDSN和 AAA也通过接入请求 和接入应答执行鉴权的相关操作。 鉴权 /授权成功后, 相关的签约 QoS信息 将会从 AAA发送给 PDSN。
步骤 4, PDSN将签约的 QoS参数发送给 RAN。
步骤 5 , MS/AT和 PDSN执行 IPv6CP协商步骤。
协商过程中, PDSN还会把本地链路前缀发送给 MS/AT, MS/AT根据 此前缀生成单播地址, 该过程未在图中示出。 此外, 终端还要向 PDSN通 过 DHCP步骤获取自举( bootstrap )信息, 流程图中未示出。
步骤 6, PDSN作为 BBERF和 PCEF向 PCRF发起 PCC会话,具体为: 6a, PDSN定位角色为 PCEF, 与 PCRF发起 IP-CAN会话 -1建立, 并 携带 PDSN为终端分配的 IP地址 ,该地址填写到 IP-CAN会话 HoA信元中 ,
IP-CAN会话中的 CoA信元信息空缺或者填写全零;
6b, PDSN定位角色为 BBERF, PDSN会发起同 PCRF的 GW会话建 立, 并携带 PDSN为终端分配的 IP地址, 该地址填写到网关控制会话的
HoA信元中。
该两个会话的建立未必一定发生在 IPv6CP协商 /自举信息获取完成后, 只要 PDSN收到 IPv6CP配置请求, 就可以发起该步骤, 而且这两个会话可 以并行建立。
步骤 7, PCRF接收到 PDSN 的 PCC会话建立请求, 与 PDSN分别建 立 IP-CAN会话 -1和 GW控制会话,在判断该两个会话是来自同一个 PDSN 的会话、 且是为同一个 MS/AT服务时, 对该两个会话单独处理, 即不作关 联。
步骤 8, MS/AT发送 CMIPv6绑定更新请求消息给选定的 HA/LMA, 请求与 HA/LMA的绑定。
步骤 9, HA/LMA与 AAA互通鉴权信令,完成对终端设备通过 CMIPv6 接入的鉴权和授权。
步骤 10, HA/LMA接收到绑定更新和授权成功后 , HA/LMA作为 PCEF 向 PCRF发起 IP-CAN会话 -2建立请求, PCRF 向 HA/LMA/PCEF发送 IP-CAN会话 -2建立应答,完成 IP-CAN会话 -2的建立,并向 HA/LMA/PCEF 下载相关的 PCC策略。
步骤 11 , PCRF与 HA/LMA建立 IP-CAN会话 -2后, PCRF根据用户 标识、 PDN标识, IP地址等信息将 IP-CAN会话 -2与 "与 PDSN建立的 GW 控制会话" 相关联。
可选的, PCRF会释放与 PDSN建立的 "IP-CAN会话 -1"。此时, PDSN 角色为 BBERF , 其通过 Gxa接口与 PCRF之间建立相应的 IP-CAN会话。
步骤 12, HA/LMA发送 CMIPv6绑定应答消息给 MS/AT, MS/AT完成 通过 CMIPv6方式的接入。
步骤 13 , 紧承步骤 11 , PCRF发起 "IP-CAN会话 -Γ 释放操作, 释放 IP-CAN会话 -1。
以上步骤中, 有可能出现第 10步发生在第 6a、 6b之前的情况, 也就 是说 IP-CAN会话 -2先建立, IP-CAN-1会话和 GW控制会话后建立, 当然 也可能出现其他次序。 也就是说, 这三个会话的建立并没有严格的先后顺 序。 但是这不会影响该方案的执行, PCRF收到请求后, 并去检索已经存在 的会话, 如果符合关联条件, 就进行关联, 如果不符合关联条件, 就不关 联即可。
实施例二
在本实施例中, PDSN收到 MS/AT发送的 IPv6CP配置请求时 /后, PDSN 同时与 PCRF建立 GW控制会话和 IP-CAN会话 -1。 PCRF接收到了 PDSN 发送的 IP-CAN会话 -1 修改请求后, PCRF确定该终端设备的接入模式为 SIPv6, 可选的, PCRF将与 PDSN建立的 GW控制会话释放, 后续的操作 按照现有技术执行即可。
图 6为本发明策略和计费控制的方法实施例二的流程图, 如图 6所示, 本示例策略和计费控制的方法包括以下步骤:
步骤 1 , 主业务连接建立。
步骤 2, PPP会话的 LCP协商并选定鉴权方式。
步骤 3 , 通过步骤 2选定的鉴权方式完成用户的接入鉴权和授权。 其中 MS/AT与 PDSN互通相关的鉴权信令, PDSN和 AAA也通过接入请求和接 入应答执行鉴权的相关操作。 鉴权 /授权成功后, 相关的签约 QoS信息将会 从 AAA发送给 PDSN。
步骤 4, PDSN将签约的 QoS参数发送给 RAN。
步骤 5 , MS/AT和 PDSN执行 IPv6CP协商步骤。
协商过程中, PDSN还会把本地链路前缀发送给 MS/AT, MS/AT根据 此前缀生成单播地址, 该过程未在图中示出。 此外, 终端还要向 PDSN通 过 DHCP步骤获取自举( bootstrap )信息, 流程图中未示出。
步骤 6, PDSN同时作为 BBERF和 PCEF向 PCRF发起 PCC会话, 具 体为:
6a, PDSN定位角色为 PCEF, 与 PCRF发起 IP-CAN会话 -1建立; 并 携带 PDSN为终端分配的 IP地址 ,该地址填写到 IP-CAN会话 HoA信元中 , IP-CAN会话中的 CoA信元信息空缺或者填写全零;
6b, PDSN定位角色为 BBERF, PDSN会发起同 PCRF的 GW会话建 立。 并携带 PDSN为终端分配的 IP地址, 该地址填写到网关控制会话的 HoA信元中。
该两个会话的建立未必一定发生在 IPv6CP协商 /自举信息获取完成后, 只要 PDSN收到 IPv6CP配置请求, 就可以发起该步骤, 而且这两个会话可 以并行建立。
PCRF收到 PDSN 的 PCC会话建立请求, 与 PDSN分别建立 IP-CAN 会话 -1和 GW控制会话, 在判断该两个会话是来自同一个 PDSN的会话、 且是为同一个 MS/AT服务时, 对该两个会话单独处理, 即不作关联。
步骤 7, MS/AT与 RAN/PCF执行 HRPD QoS建立步骤。
步骤 8,对应步骤 7,如果有 Link Flow新建 /修改,在 RAN/PCF与 PDSN 之间也需要对应建立 /修改 A10连接, 并将相应的请求的 QoS列表发送给 PDSN。 步骤 9 , MS/AT 发送资源预留协议 ( RSVP , Resource Reservation Protocol )预留 (Resv, Reserve ) 消息给 PDSN, 业务数据流模板 ( TFT, Traffic Flow Template )通过该信令发送给 PDSN。
步骤 10, PDSN收到 MS/AT发送来的 RSVP Resv消息后, 解析出该消 息携带的终端 IP地址, 其中该 IP地址可以由在 RSVP 消息单独携带给 PDSN, 也可以从携带的 TFT中解析出 (现有技术)。
PDSN通过判断该地址是 PDSN为 MS/AT分配的地址, 则 PDSN向 PCRF发起 IP-CAN会话 -1修改请求, 请求相应的 PCC策略, PCRF通过响 应消息 , 把对应的策略发送到 PDSN。
步骤 11 , PCRF收到 PDSN发送来的 IP-CAN会话修改请求后, 判断 终端设备当前的接入模式为 SIPv6, 保留 IP-CAN会话 -1 , 删除 GW会话。 此时, PDSN角色为 PCEF,其通过 Gx接口与 PCRF之间建立相应的 IP-CAN 会话。
步骤 12 , PDSN发送 RSVP Resvconf消息给 MS/AT。
步骤 13 , MS/AT, RAN/PCF以及 PDSN安装相应的 QoS, 分配资源。 步骤 14: 紧承步骤 11 , PCRF向 PDSN发起 GW控制会话终止操作请 求,释放 GW控制会话。该步骤 14也可以由步骤 9触发,由 PDSN发起" GW 控制会话" 释放操作, 釆用何种方式取决于具体的通信流程实现。
实施例三
本实施例中, PDSN在收到终端设备发送的 IPv6CP协商请求之后, 同 时与 PCRF建立 GW控制会话和 IP-CAN会话 -1 , PCRF确定是该两会话是 为同一个终端设备建立的与同一个 PDSN的会话或者根据携带关联地址(网 关控制会话的家乡地址和 IP-CAN会话 -1 中的转交地址) 不同, 则 PCRF 对这两个会话独立处理, 不对其进行关联。
如果 PCRF收到了 HA/LMA发送的该终端设备的属于同一 IP连接的 IP-CAN会话 -2建立请求, PCRF将 PDSN请求的 GW控制会话和 HA/LMA 请求的 IP-CAN会话 -2关联, 并保留与 PDSN建立的 IP-CAN会话 -1。
如果 PDSN从 MS/AT发送来的 RSVP Resv消息中,解析出该消息携带 的终端 IP地址是 PDSN为 MS/AT分配的地址, 则 PDSN向 PCRF发起 IP-CAN会话 -1修改请求,请求相应的 PCC策略。 PCRF收到了 PDSN发送 来的 IP-CAN会话 -1的修改请求, 则 PCRF为终端设备制定 PCC策略, 并 且如果存在所述 HA/LMA请求的 IP-CAN会话 -2 , 则 PCRF将其保留, 如 果不存在, 则不作处理。
如果 PDSN从 MS/AT发送来的 RSVP Resv消息中,解析出该消息携带 的终端 IP地址( HoA )不是 PDSN为 MS/AT分配的地址( CoA ), 则 PDSN 向 PCRF发起 GW控制与 QoS策略请求,则 PCRF为终端设备制定 PCC策 略,且通过所述网关控制会话和与其关联的 IP-CAN会话分别向所述 PDSN 和所述 HA/LMA下发策略和计费控制 PCC策略。 这里, GW控制与 QoS 策略请求消息只能利用在 GW控制会话和 HA/LMA请求的 IP-CAN会话 -2 关联后的会话来发送。
图 7为本发明策略和计费控制的方法实施例三的流程图, 如图 7所示, 本示例策略和计费控制的方法包括以下步骤:
步骤 1 , 主业务连接建立。
步骤 2, PPP会话的 LCP协商并选定鉴权方式。
步骤 3 , 通过步骤 2选定的鉴权方式完成用户的接入鉴权和授权。 其中 MS/AT与 PDSN互通相关的鉴权信令, PDSN和 AAA也通过接入请求和接 入应答执行鉴权的相关操作。 鉴权 /授权成功后, 相关的签约 QoS信息将会 从 AAA发送给 PDSN。
步骤 4, PDSN将签约的 QoS参数发送给 RAN。
步骤 5 , MS/AT和 PDSN执行 IPv6CP协商步骤。 协商过程中, PDSN还会把本地链路前缀发送给 MS/AT, MS/AT根据 此前缀生成单播地址, 该过程未在图中示出。 此外, 终端还要向 PDSN通 过 DHCP步骤获取自举( bootstrap )信息, 流程图中未示出。
步骤 6, PDSN同时作为 BBERF和 PCEF向 PCRF发起 PCC会话, 具 体为:
6a, PDSN定位角色为 PCEF, 与 PCRF发起 IP-CAN会话 -1建立; 并 携带 PDSN为终端分配的 IP地址 ,该地址填写到 IP-CAN会话 HoA信元中 , IP-CAN会话中的 CoA信元信息空缺或者填写全零;
6b, PDSN定位角色为 BBERF, PDSN会发起同 PCRF的 GW会话建 立, 并携带 PDSN为终端分配的 IP地址, 该地址填写到网关控制会话的 HoA信元中。
该两个会话的建立未必一定发生在 IPv6CP协商完成后,只要 PDSN收 到 IPv6CP配置请求, 就可以发起该步骤, 而且这两个会话可以并行建立。
步骤 7, PCRF收到 PDSN 的 PCC会话建立请求, 与 PDSN分别建立 IP-CAN会话 -1 和 GW控制会话, 在判断该两个会话是来自同一个 PDSN 的会话、 且是为同一个 MS/AT服务时, 对该两个会话单独处理, 即不作关 联。
步骤 8, MS/AT发送 CMIPv6绑定更新请求消息给选定的 HA/LMA, 请求与 HA/LMA的绑定。
步骤 9, HA/LMA与 AAA互通鉴权信令, 完成对用户通过 CMIPv6接 入的鉴权和授权。
步骤 10, HA/LMA收到绑定更新和授权成功后, HA/LMA作为 PCEF 向 PCRF发起 IP-CAN会话 -2建立请求消息, PCRF向 HA/LMA/PCEF发送 IP-CAN会话 -2建立应答,完成 IP-CAN会话 -2的建立,并向 HA/LMA/PCEF 下载相关的 PCC策略。 其中该 IP-CAN会话 2中, CoA信元填写了 PDSN 为终端分配的 IP地址, HoA信元中填写了 AAA/HA为终端分配的地址。 步骤 11 , PCRF与 HA/LMA建立 IP-CAN会话 -2后, PCRF根据用户 标识、 PDN标识, IP地址等信息将 IP-CAN会话 -2与 "与 PDSN建立的 GW 控制会话"相关联, 同时 PCRF会单独维护与 PDSN建立的 "IP-CAN会话 -1" , 即保留 IP-CAN会话 -1。
步骤 12, HA/LMA发送 CMIPv6绑定应答消息给 MS/AT, MS/AT完成 通过 CMIPv6方式的接入。
以上步骤中, 有可能出现第 10步发生在第 6a、 6b之前的情况, 也就 是说 IP-CAN会话 -2先建立, IP-CAN-1会话和 GW控制会话后建立, 当然 也可能出现其他次序。 也就是说, 这三个会话的建立并没有严格的先后顺 序。 但是这不会影响该方案的执行, PCRF收到请求后, 并去检索已经存在 的会话, 如果符合关联条件, 就进行关联, 如果不符合关联条件, 就不关 联即可。
以下的步骤分情况 A和情况 B分别说明在接收到不同消息时, 任何进 行相应的处理。
情况 A, MS/AT用在步骤 5中 PDSN为其分配地址(该地址在 CMIPv6 接入模式下称作转交地址( CoA, Care of Address ), 该处情况下称作地址), 通过 PDSN与外部网络互通数据业务, 并为此业务发起 QoS请求。 具体包 括以下步骤:
步骤 A.1 , MS/AT与 RAN/PCF执行 HRPD QoS建立。
步骤 A.2,对应步骤 A.1 ,如果有 Link Flow新建 /修改,对应在 RAN/PCF 与 PDSN之间也需要对应建立 /修改 A10连接,并将相应的请求的 QoS列表 发送给 PDSN„
步骤 A.3 , MS/AT发送 RSVP Resv消息给 PDSN, TFT通过该信令发 送给 PDSN, TFT中携带了 MS/AT的地址, 即为上行数据的源地址, 或者 该地址也可以由在 RSVP Resv消息单独携带给 PDSN。 该步骤为现有技术。 步骤 A.4, PDSN通过判断 RSVP Resv消息中带来的地址是之前 PDSN 为 MS/AT分配的地址, 判定当前 MS/AT釆用的是 SIPv6的接入模式, 于是
PDSN向 PCRF发起 IP-CAN会话 -1修改请求,请求相应的 PCC策略, PCRF 通过响应消息, 把对应的策略下发到 PDSN。
PCRF收到 PDSN发送来的 IP-CAN会话 -1修改请求后,单独处理该会 话,不对 IP-CAN会话 -2和 GW控制会话作任何修正或者处理,即保留 CAN 会话 -2和 GW控制会话。
步骤 A.5 , PDSN发送 RSVP预留配置 (Resvconf ) 消息给 MS/AT。 步骤 A.6, MA/AT、 RAN/PCF以及 PDSN安装相应的 QoS, 并分配资 源。
如果情况 A发生在 11步之后 (如图示), 则按上述描述处理; 情况还 可以反正在步骤 7之后, 步骤 10之前, 因此, 如果 PCRF在步骤 10之前 收到 A.4步, 则 PCRF和 PDSN只保存网关控制会话, 不对 IP-CAN会话 -2 处理(因为还没有建立)。
情况 B, MS/AT用在步骤 12中 HA/LMA为其分配的本地地址( HoA, Home of Address )通过 HA/LMA与外部网络互通数据业务, 并为此业务发 起 QoS请求。 具体包括以下步骤:
步骤 B.1 , MS/AT与 RAN/PCF执行 HRPD QoS建立。
步骤 B.2, 对应步骤 B.1 , 如果有 Link Flow新建 /修改, RAN/PCF与
PDSN之间也需要对应建立 /修改 A10连接, 并将相应的请求的 QoS列表发 送给 PDSN。
步骤 B.3 , MS/AT发送 RSVP Resv消息给 PDSN, TFT通过该信令发 送给 PDSN, TFT中携带了 MS/AT的 HoA, 即为上行数据的源地址, 或者 该 HoA地址也可以由在 RSVP Resv消息单独携带给 PDSN。 该步骤为现有 技术。
步骤 B.4, PDSN通过判断 RSVP Resv消息中带来的地址( HoA )不是 之前 PDSN 为 MS/AT 分配的地址(CoA ) , 判定当前 MS/AT 釆用的是 CMIPv6的接入模式, 于是 PDSN向 PCRF发起 GW控制和 QoS策略请求;
PCRF收到 PDSN发送来的 GW控制和 QoS策略请求后, 单独处理该 GW控制会话, 不对 IP-CAN会话 -1作任何修正或者处理, 即保留 IP-CAN 会话 -1。
步骤 B.5 , PCRF收到 GW控制和 QoS策略请求后,制定对应的 IP-CAN 会话策略, 并通过 IP-CAN会话 -2下发到 HA/LMA.
步骤 B.6, 作为对 PDSN向 PCRF发起的 GW控制和 QoS策略请求的 应答, PCRF将相应的 PCC策略下发到 PDSN。
步骤 B.7 , PDSN发送 RSVP Resvconf消息给 MS/AT。
步骤 B.8 , MA/AT, RAN/PCF, 以及 PDSN安装相应的 QoS, 分配资 源。
情况 B必须发生在步骤 11之后, 但是与情况 A没有必然的先后关系。 所以情况 B的执行过程中, IP-CAN会话 -1一直保留。
实施例四
本实施例中, PDSN在收到终端设备发送的 IPv6CP协商请求之后, 同 时与 PCRF建立 GW控制会话和 IP-CAN会话 -1 , PCRF确定是该两会话是 为同一个终端设备建立的与同一个 PDSN的会话或者根据携带关联地址(网 关控制会话的家乡地址和 IP-CAN会话 1中的转交地址)不同, 则 PCRF对 这两个会话独立处理, 不对其进行关联。
如果 PCRF收到了 HA/LMA发送的该终端设备的属于同一 IP连接的 IP-CAN会话 -2建立请求, PCRF将 PDSN请求的 GW控制会话和 HA/LMA 请求的 IP-CAN会话 -2关联, 并保留与 PDSN建立的 IP-CAN会话 -1。 如果 PDSN从 MS/AT发送来的 RSVP Resv消息中,解析出该消息携带 的终端 IP地址是 PDSN为 MS/AT分配的地址, 则 PDSN向 PCRF发起 IP-CAN会话 -1修改请求,请求相应的 PCC策略。 PCRF收到了 PDSN发送 来的 IP-CAN会话 -1的修改请求,则 PCRF为终端设备制定 PCC策略。 PDSN 向 PCRF发起 IP-CAN会话 -1修改请求的同时, 向 PCRF发送 "网关控制会 话终止" 消息, 请求终止 PDSN和 PCRF之间的网关控制会话, 并且如果 HA/LMA之间存在 IP-CAN会话 -2的情况下 , 该会话也会被 PCRF删除。
如果 PDSN从 MS/AT发送来的 RSVP Resv消息中,解析出该消息携带 的终端 IP地址( HoA )不是 PDSN为 MS/AT分配的地址( CoA ), 则 PDSN 向 PCRF发起 GW控制与 QoS策略请求,则 PCRF为终端设备制定 PCC策 略,且通过所述网关控制会话和与其关联的 IP-CAN会话分别向所述 PDSN 和所述 HA/LMA下发策略和计费控制 PCC策略。 PDSN向 PCRF发起 GW 控制与 QoS策略请求的同时,向 PCRF发送 IP-CAN会话 -1终止请求消息, 请求终止 PDSN和 PCRF之间的 IP-CAN会话 -1。

步骤 5 , MS/AT和 PDSN执行 IPv6CP协商步骤。
协商过程中, PDSN还会把本地链路前缀发送给 MS/AT, MS/AT根据 此前缀生成单播地址, 该过程未在图中示出。 此外, 终端还要向 PDSN通 过 DHCP步骤获取自举( bootstrap )信息, 流程图中未示出。
步骤 6, PDSN同时作为 BBERF和 PCEF向 PCRF发起 PCC会话, 具 体为:
6a, PDSN定位角色为 PCEF, 与 PCRF发起 IP-CAN会话 -1建立; 并 携带 PDSN为终端分配的 IP地址 ,该地址填写到 IP-CAN会话 HoA信元中 , IP-CAN会话中的 CoA信元信息空缺或者填写全零;
6b, PDSN定位角色为 BBERF, PDSN会发起同 PCRF的 GW会话建 立。 并携带 PDSN为终端分配的 IP地址, 该地址填写到网关控制会话的 HoA信元中。
该两个会话的建立未必一定发生在 IPv6CP协商完成后,只要 PDSN收 到 IPv6CP配置请求, 就可以发起该步骤, 而且这两个会话可以并行建立。
步骤 7, PCRF收到 PDSN 的 PCC会话建立请求, 与 PDSN分别建立 IP-CAN会话 -1 和 GW控制会话, 在判断该两个会话是来自同一个 PDSN 的会话、 且是为同一个 MS/AT服务时, 对该两个会话单独处理, 即不作关 联。

步骤 11 , PCRF与 HA/LMA建立 IP-CAN会话 -2后, PCRF根据用户 标识、 PDN标识, IP地址等信息将 IP-CAN会话 -2与 "与 PDSN建立的 GW 控制会话"相关联, 同时 PCRF会单独维护与 PDSN建立的 "IP-CAN会话 -1" , 即保留 IP-CAN会话 -1。
步骤 12, HA/LMA发送 CMIPv6绑定应答消息给 MS/AT, MS/AT完成 通过 CMIPv6方式的接入。
以上步骤中, 有可能出现第 10步发生在第 6a、 6b之前的情况, 也就 是说 IP-CAN会话 -2先建立, IP-CAN-1会话和 GW控制会话后建立, 当然 也可能出现其他次序。 也就是说, 这三个会话的建立并没有严格的先后顺 序。 但是这不会影响该方案的执行, PCRF收到请求后, 并去检索已经存在 的会话, 如果符合关联条件, 就进行关联, 如果不符合关联条件, 就不关 联即可。
以下的步骤分情况 A和情况 B分别说明在接收到不同消息时, 任何进 行相应的处理。
情况 A, MS/AT用在步骤 5中 PDSN为其分配的地址(在 CMIP接入 时, 称作, 转交地址(CoA, Care of Address ), 在此只能叫^ U也址)通过 PDSN与外部网络互通数据业务, 并为此业务发起 QoS请求。 具体包括以 下步骤:
步骤 A.1 , MS/AT与 RAN/PCF执行 HRPD QoS建立。
步骤 A.2,对应步骤 A.1 ,如果有 Link Flow新建 /修改,对应在 RAN/PCF 与 PDSN之间也需要对应建立 /修改 A10连接,并将相应的请求的 QoS列表 发送给 PDSN„
步骤 A.3 , MS/AT发送 RSVP Resv消息给 PDSN, TFT通过该信令发 送给 PDSN, TFT中携带了 MS/AT的地址, 即为上行数据的源地址, 或者 该地址也可以由在 RSVP Resv消息单独携带给 PDSN。 该步骤为现有技术。
步骤 A.4, PDSN通过判断 RSVP Resv消息中带来的地址是之前 PDSN 为 MS/AT分配的地址, 判定当前 MS/AT釆用的是 SIPv6的接入模式, 于是 PDSN向 PCRF发起 IP-CAN会话 -1修改请求, PCRF收到 PDSN发送来 的 IP-CAN会话 -1修改请求, 制定相应的 PCC策略, 通过响应消息, 把对 应的策略下发到 PDSN。
步骤 A.5 , PDSN发送 RSVP预留配置 (Resvconf ) 消息给 MS/AT。 步骤 A.6, MA/AT、 RAN/PCF以及 PDSN安装相应的 QoS, 并分配资 源。
步骤 A.7, PDSN向 PCRF发起 IP-CAN会话 -1修改请求的同时 (步骤 A.4), PDSN向 PCRF发送网关控制会话释放消息 ,请求终止 PDSN和 PCRF 之间的网关控制会话, 并且如果 HA/LMA之间存在 IP-CAN会话 -2的情况 下, 该会话也会被 PCRF删除( A.8 )。
如果情况 A发生在 11步之后 (如图示), 则按上述描述处理; 情况还 可以反正在步骤 7之后, 步骤 10之前, 因此, 如果 PCRF在步骤 10之前 收到 A.4步, 则 PCRF和 PDSN只保存网关控制会话, 不对 IP-CAN会话 -2 处理(因为还没有建立)。
情况 B, MS/AT用在步骤 12中 HA/LMA为其分配的本地地址( HoA, Home of Address )通过 HA/LMA与外部网络互通数据业务, 并为此业务发 起 QoS请求。 具体包括以下步骤:
步骤 B.1 , MS/AT与 RAN/PCF执行 HRPD QoS建立。
步骤 B.2, 对应步骤 B.1 , 如果有 Link Flow新建 /修改, RAN/PCF与 PDSN之间也需要对应建立 /修改 A10连接, 并将相应的请求的 QoS列表发 送给 PDSN。
步骤 B.3 , MS/AT发送 RSVP Resv消息给 PDSN, TFT通过该信令发 送给 PDSN, TFT中携带了 MS/AT的 HoA, 即为上行数据的源地址, 或者 该 HoA地址也可以由在 RSVP Resv消息单独携带给 PDSN。 该步骤为现有 技术。
步骤 B.4, PDSN通过判断 RSVP Resv消息中带来的地址( HoA )不是 之前 PDSN 为 MS/AT 分配的地址(CoA ) , 判定当前 MS/AT 釆用的是 CMIPv6的接入模式, 于是 PDSN向 PCRF发起 GW控制和 QoS策略请求; PCRF收到 PDSN发送来的 GW控制和 QoS策略请求后, 制定相应的 PCC 策略通过该网关控制会话和与之关联的 IP-CAN会话 -2分别下发到 PDSN 和 HA/LMA。
步骤 B.5 , PCRF收到 GW控制和 QoS策略请求后,制定对应的 IP-CAN 会话策略, 并通过 IP-CAN会话 -2下发到 HA/LMA.
步骤 B.6, 作为对 PDSN向 PCRF发起的 GW控制和 QoS策略请求的 应答, PCRF将相应的 PCC策略下发到 PDSN。
步骤 B.7 , PDSN发送 RSVP Resvconf消息给 MS/AT。
步骤 B.8 , MA/AT, RAN/PCF, 以及 PDSN安装相应的 QoS, 分配资 源。
步骤 B.9, PDSN向 PCRF发起 GW控制和 QoS策略请求的同时 (步骤 B.4), PDSN向 PCRF发送 IP-CAN会话 -1释放请求,请求终止 PDSN和 PCRF 之间的 IP-CAN会话 -1。
情况 B必须发生在步骤 11之后, 但是与情况 A没有必然的先后关系。 所以情况 B的执行过程中, IP-CAN会话 -1一直保留。
