Description

Method, device and system for realizing quality control of home station service

The present invention relates to the field of communications technologies, and in particular, to a method, device and system for implementing quality control of a home base station.

Background technique

Due to the evolution of communication networks and the growth of user services, the industry has introduced home base stations to enhance the wireless coverage of mobile networks and increase wireless bandwidth.

After the home base station (such as the HeNB) is deployed, the user equipment (UE, user equipment) can be attached to the Evolved Packet Core (EPC) through the home base station. The main difference between the home base station access and the macro base station access is that The backhaul network is different. The backhaul network refers to the transmission network between the base station and the core network equipment.

The backhaul network of the home base station adopts the Broadband Forum (BBF) network, which can be regarded as a non-dedicated network, and the backhaul network of the macro base station is generally a private network of a mobile operator or a leased line of a fixed carrier, a macro base station. A backhaul network can be thought of as a private network.

The 3GPP (3GPP, 3rd Generation Partnership Project) considers the network topology after the introduction of the home base station as shown in Figure 1. The EPC is the core network architecture of the mobile network. See Figure 1, the main network element of the EPC. The method includes: a mobility management entity (MME, Mobility Management Entity), a S-GW (Serving Gateway), and a Packet Data Network Gateway (P-GW), which are mainly responsible for user mobility management, and a policy. And a Policy and Charging Rules Function (PCRF) entity; and a Home Base Station Gateway (HeGW, HeNB Gateway) mainly used for aggregating the home base station, and an Edge Security Gateway (SecGW, Security Gateway) located in the mobile core network, Among them, HeGW and SecGW can usually be deployed on the same entity. The broadband access network mainly includes: a broadband network gateway, a Broadband Policy Control Function (BPCF) entity, and an access point (AN, Access Node). The home base station is connected to the AN of the broadband access network through a Home Gateway (RG, Residential Gateway).

Since the backhaul network of the home base station is a non-dedicated network, in order to ensure the end-to-end service quality of the service, in the scenario of the home base station access, the service quality of the home network backhaul network needs to be performed. QoS (Quality of Service) control. In the existing control mechanism, the PCRF located in the EPC is sent to the PGW on the one hand after the QoS rule is formulated, and the PGW transmits it to the SGW and the Evolved Universal Terrestrial Radio Access Network (E-UTRAN). To implement QoS control on the mobile network node; on the other hand, the PCRF sends a QoS rule to the BPCF entity deployed in the broadband access network through the S9* interface, and the BPCF can forward the QoS rule to the broadband network gateway (BNG, Broadband Network Gateway) Execution, thereby implementing QoS control on the BBF network node (ie, QoS control of the home base station backhaul network).

Since a large number of PCRF entities that do not support the QoS control of the home base station (that is, PCRF entities that do not support the S9* interface) have been deployed in the existing network, implementing the prior art requires upgrading many deployed PCRF entities, and in many scenarios. There are certain difficulties in upgrading the PCRF entity, and the upgrade cost may be relatively large. For example, when a mobile operator deploys a PCRF pool (that is, multiple PCRF entities), since the PCRF entity may select any PCRF entity when the PCRF entity is selected, all PCRF entities may need to be upgraded in this scenario. The PCRF entity that does not support the QoS control of the home base station is selected for the user. In the roaming scenario, if the operator of the visited domain deploys the home base station, the PCRF entity of the home domain needs to be upgraded.

Summary of the invention

The technical problem to be solved by the embodiments of the present invention is to provide a method, a device, and a system for implementing the quality control of the home base station, so as to implement the quality control of the home base station under the condition that the PCRF entity in the current website is not upgraded as much as possible.

Since the SGW or the SecGW triggers the corresponding entity to formulate the QoS rule corresponding to the home base station, and does not need the PCRF entity to send the QoS rule to the BPCF entity in the broadband network through the S9* interface, the PCRF entity in the live network can be avoided as much as possible.

detailed description

Embodiments of the present invention provide a method, device, and system for implementing quality control of a home base station, which are quality controllable.

The detailed description will be respectively made below through specific embodiments.

Based on the fact that a large number of PCRF entities that do not support the QoS control of the home base station are deployed in the existing network, the upgrade cost may be large. The embodiment of the present invention provides that: an entity that formulates a QoS rule corresponding to the home base station may be newly deployed in the network ( It can be called the Home Base Station Policy and Charging Rules Function (HeNB-PCRF) entity, or use the Home Base Station Management System (HMS) entity, BPCF entity or other entity in the existing network to formulate the QoS of the corresponding home base station. The rule (that is, the function of the home base station policy and charging rule is completed), and the QoS rule is transmitted to the broadband network accessed by the home base station, and the broadband network can perform QoS control on the home base station according to the QoS rule, thereby implementing QoS on the BBF network node. Control (ie QoS control of the home base station backhaul network).

Referring to FIG. 2, FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram of a network topology structure after a 3GPP considers introducing a home base station according to an embodiment of the present invention, where a HeNB-PCRF entity is newly deployed.

In FIG. 2, the EPC main network element includes: an MME, an S-GW, a PGW, and a PCRF entity; and a HeNB-PCRF entity, a HeGW, and a SecGW, where the HeGW and the SecGW are generally deployed on the same entity. Broadband access networks can mainly include: BNG, BPCF, and AN. The home base station is connected to the AN of the broadband access network through the home gateway RG.

The home base station management system HMS entity can be deployed in the EPC (not shown in FIG. 2), and the HMS entity is connected to the home base station and is mainly responsible for managing the home base station. In the embodiment of the present invention, a scenario for implementing a QoS rule of a home base station by using a newly deployed HeNB-PCRF entity or using an HMS entity, a BPCF entity or other entity in the existing network is specifically introduced, and a scheme for implementing a service quality control of a home base station is specifically introduced. . The following description is first made with the perspective of an entity that formulates QoS rules corresponding to the home base station. An embodiment of the method for implementing the quality control of the home base station of the present invention may include: receiving a resource request from a serving gateway or a security gateway, where the resource request includes an identifier of the home base station and corresponding quality of service QoS information; QoS information, formulating a QoS rule corresponding to the home base station corresponding to the identifier of the home base station; transmitting the QoS rule to the broadband network accessed by the home base station, so that the broadband network performs QoS control on the home base station according to the QoS rule .

Referring to FIG. 3, specific steps may include:

310. Receive a resource request from a serving gateway or a security gateway, where the resource request includes an identifier of the home base station and corresponding quality of service QoS information;

In an application scenario, after receiving the message carrying the QoS information, for example, the SGW may receive the bearer setup request or bearer modification request that carries the QoS information sent by the PGW, or receive the identifier from the PCRF entity. After the QoS rule execution request carrying the QoS information, the entity that includes the QoS rule corresponding to the home base station (for example, the HMS entity, the BPCF entity, the newly deployed HeNB-PCRF entity, or other entity, etc.) sends the identifier and corresponding information including the home base station. Resource request for QoS information. Or, in the roaming scenario, the visited service gateway may receive the QoS information carrying message from the entity of the home network, for example, the visited SGW may receive the bearer setup request or the bearer modification request that carries the QoS information sent by the home PGW. Or, after receiving the QoS rule execution request carrying the QoS information from the home PCRF entity, formulating an entity corresponding to the QoS rule of the home base station to the visited network (for example, may be a visited HMS entity, a visited BPCF entity, a visited PCRF entity, a newly deployed A HeNB-PCRF entity or other entity, etc.) sends a resource request containing the identity of the home base station and the corresponding QoS information.

Alternatively, the security gateway SecGW may, after receiving the bearer setup request or the bearer modification request that carries the QoS information and the identity of the home base station, and the bearer modification request of the home base station, may be an entity that formulates the QoS rule of the corresponding home base station (for example, may be an HMS entity). The BPCF entity, the newly deployed HeNB-PCRF entity or other entity, etc.) sends a resource request including the identity of the home base station and the corresponding QoS information. The QoS information obtained by the serving gateway or the security gateway from the foregoing message may include one or more of the following information: bandwidth, delay, jitter, and packet loss rate.

In an application scenario, the identifier of the home base station carried in the received resource request may be a home base station identifier (ID), an internet protocol (IP, Internet Protocol) address, or other information that can uniquely identify the home base station.

320. According to the foregoing QoS information, formulate a QoS rule corresponding to the home base station corresponding to the identifier of the home base station;

After receiving the resource request from the serving gateway or the security gateway, the entity that formulates the QoS rule corresponding to the home base station formulates the QoS rule corresponding to the home base station corresponding to the identifier of the home base station according to the QoS information carried in the resource request. And the QoS rule may indicate that the bandwidth, delay, jitter, and/or packet loss rate of the backhaul network of the home base station are correspondingly controlled. For how to formulate corresponding QoS rules based on QoS information, refer to existing related technologies, and details are not described herein.

330. The foregoing QoS rule is transmitted to the broadband network accessed by the foregoing home base station, so that the broadband network performs QoS control on the home base station according to the foregoing QoS rule.

In an application scenario, if the entity that formulates the QoS rule corresponding to the home base station is a BPCF entity, the BPCF may pass the QoS rule defined above to the BNG in the broadband network accessed by the home base station. If the entity that formulates the QoS rule corresponding to the home base station is an HMS entity, a visited PCRF entity, a newly deployed HeNB-PCRF entity, or another entity that is not directly connected to the BNG, the foregoing may be formulated by a BPCF entity in the broadband network. The QoS rule is transmitted to the BNG in the broadband network accessed by the home base station, that is, the established QoS rule is first sent to the BPCF entity, and after the BPCF entity decides to enable the QoS rule, the QoS rule is forwarded to the BNG entity for execution.

The BNG entity performs the above QoS rules to implement QoS control on the BBF network node, that is, QoS control of the home base station backhaul network.

It can be found that, for the non-roaming scenario, the implementation of the foregoing solution can implement the quality control of the home base station without supporting the upgrade of the S9* interface on all the PCRF entities in the live network. If the S9* interface is not upgraded for all the PCRF entities in the live network, at least the upgrade of the S9* interface is not required for the home PCRF entity in the live network (because the home PCRF in the roaming scenario is not required). The entity visits through the S9* interface The BPCF entity in the broadband network sends QoS rules) to implement the quality control of the home base station.

It can be understood that the foregoing steps may be implemented on an HMS entity of a communication network, a BPCF entity, a newly deployed HeNB-PCRF entity, a Visiting PCRF (V-PCRF, Visit-PCRF) entity in a roaming scenario, or other similar entities. An entity capable of implementing the above solution can be considered to be integrated

HeNB-PCRF function module.

It can be seen that, in this embodiment, the SGW or the SecGW sends a message carrying the identifier of the home base station and the corresponding QoS information to the entity that formulates the QoS rule of the corresponding home base station, and triggers the entity that formulates the QoS rule corresponding to the home base station according to the QoS information. And formulating a QoS rule corresponding to the home base station corresponding to the identifier of the home base station, and transmitting the QoS rule to the broadband network accessed by the home base station, so that the broadband network can perform QoS control on the home base station according to the QoS rule. Since the SGW or the SecGW triggers the corresponding entity to formulate the QoS rule corresponding to the home base station, and does not need the PCRF entity to send the QoS rule to the BPCF entity in the broadband network through the S9* interface, the PCRF entity in the live network can be avoided as much as possible. In the case of supporting the upgrade of the S9* interface, the quality control of the home base station is implemented, thereby reducing the complexity of the network implementation. The following describes the service gateway. Another embodiment of the method for implementing the quality control of the home base station of the present invention may include: the serving gateway receiving the message carrying the QoS information; and sending a resource request to the entity that formulates the QoS rule corresponding to the home base station, where the resource request carries the identifier of the home base station And the foregoing QoS information, so that the entity, according to the QoS information, formulates a QoS rule corresponding to the home base station corresponding to the identifier of the home base station.

Correspondingly, the entity that formulates the QoS rule corresponding to the home base station receives the resource request from the serving gateway; and according to the QoS information, formulates a QoS rule corresponding to the home base station corresponding to the identifier of the home base station; and the broadband accessed to the home base station The network transmits the above QoS rules, so that the broadband network performs QoS control on the home base station according to the foregoing QoS rule.

In an application scenario, the service gateway receiving the message carrying the QoS information may include:

The SGW receives a bearer setup request, a bearer modification request or other message carrying the QoS information from the PGW, or receives a QoS rule execution request or other message carrying the QoS information from the PCRF entity. Or, in the roaming scenario, the visited SGW receives the bearer setup request, the bearer modification request, or other message that carries the QoS information from the home PGW, or visits the SGW to receive the return A QoS rule execution request or other message carrying a QoS information of a PCRF (H-PCRF, Home-PCRF) entity.

The QoS information obtained by the serving gateway from the foregoing message may include one or more of the following information: bandwidth, delay, jitter, and packet loss rate.

In an application scenario, the identifier of the home base station carried in the resource request sent by the serving gateway may be a home base station ID, an IP address, or other information that can uniquely identify the home base station.

It can be seen that, in this embodiment, the SGW sends a message carrying the identifier of the home base station and the corresponding QoS information to the entity that formulates the QoS rule of the corresponding home base station, to trigger the entity that formulates the QoS rule corresponding to the home base station according to the QoS information. Corresponding to the QoS rule of the home base station corresponding to the identifier of the home base station, and transmitting the QoS rule to the broadband network accessed by the home base station, so that the broadband network can perform QoS control on the home base station according to the QoS rule. Since the SGW triggers the corresponding entity to formulate the QoS rule corresponding to the home base station, and does not need the PCRF entity to send the QoS rule to the BPCF entity in the broadband network through the S9* interface, the PCRF entity in the live network can be avoided as much as possible. In the case of upgrading and renovating the S9* interface, the quality control of the home base station is implemented, thereby reducing the complexity of the network implementation. The following describes the security gateway. Another embodiment of the method for implementing the quality control of the home base station of the present invention may include: the security gateway receiving the bearer setup request or the bearer modification request; parsing the bearer setup request or the bearer modification request, and obtaining the bearer setup request or the bearer modification request carrying The identifier of the home base station and the corresponding QoS information; sending a resource request to the entity that formulates the QoS rule corresponding to the home base station, where the resource request carries the identifier and QoS information of the home base station, so that the entity formulates a correspondence according to the QoS information. The QoS rule of the home base station corresponding to the identifier of the home base station.

Correspondingly, the entity that formulates the QoS rule corresponding to the home base station receives the resource request from the security gateway; according to the QoS information, formulates a QoS rule corresponding to the home base station corresponding to the identifier of the home base station; and the broadband accessed to the home base station The network transmits the above QoS rules, so that the broadband network performs QoS control on the home base station according to the foregoing QoS rule.

The message that the SGW and the home base station exchange the bearer setup request or the bearer modification request may pass the SecGW, and the SecGW may receive the bearer setup request or bearer that the SGW and the home base station exchange. Modify the request or other message, and parse out information such as QoS information and the identity of the home base station. The QoS information obtained by the SecGW from the foregoing message may include one or more of the following information: bandwidth, delay, jitter, and packet loss rate.

In an application scenario, the identifier of the home base station carried in the resource request sent by the SecGW may be a home base station ID, an IP address, or other information that can uniquely identify the home base station.

It can be seen that, in this embodiment, the SecGW sends a message carrying the identifier of the home base station and the corresponding QoS information to the entity that formulates the QoS rule of the corresponding home base station, to trigger the entity that formulates the QoS rule corresponding to the home base station according to the QoS information. Corresponding to the QoS rule of the home base station corresponding to the identifier of the home base station, and transmitting the QoS rule to the broadband network accessed by the home base station, so that the broadband network can perform QoS control on the home base station according to the QoS rule. Because the SecGW triggers the corresponding entity to formulate the QoS rule corresponding to the home base station, and does not need the PCRF entity to send the QoS rule to the BPCF entity in the broadband network through the S9* interface, the PCRF entity in the live network can be avoided as much as possible. In the case of upgrading and renovating the S9* interface, the quality control of the home base station is implemented, thereby reducing the complexity of the network implementation. In order to better understand the technical solution of the embodiment of the present invention, in the scenario where the HeNB-PCRF entity is deployed independently, the SGW sends the QoS information obtained from the PGW to the HeNB-PCRF entity, so that the HeNB-PCRF entity formulates the QoS rule accordingly. For a specific scenario, let's take a more detailed introduction.

Referring to FIG. 4, another embodiment of the method for implementing the quality control of the home base station of the present invention may include:

401. The SGW receives a bearer setup request or a bearer modification request sent by the PGW.

In an application scenario, the bearer setup request or the bearer modification request sent by the PGW may be, for example, creating or modifying a signaling carried by a General Packet Radio Service (GPRS) GPRS Tunneling Protocol (GTP). Can be other signaling.

The QoS information may be carried in the bearer setup request or the bearer modification request, and may carry other information. The QoS information may include one or more of the following information: bandwidth, delay, jitter, and packet loss rate. .

It can be understood that the bearer between the UE and the PGW includes: PGW to SGW bearer, SGW The bearer to the home base station and the UE bearer to the home base station. The bearer setup request or bearer modification request sent by the PGW may correspond to the home base station accessed by the UE.

402. The SGW sends a resource request to the HeNB-PCRF entity, where the resource request may carry the identifier of the home base station (the home base station corresponding to the bearer setup request or the bearer modification request) and the corresponding QoS information, and may further carry other information. The identifier of the home base station carried in the resource request may be a home base station ID, an IP address, or other information that can uniquely identify the home base station;

In an application scenario, the resource request sent by the SGW to the HeNB-PCRF entity may be, for example, GTP signaling, Diameter signaling, or other signaling.

403. The HeNB-PCRF entity receives the resource request from the SGW, and formulates a QoS rule corresponding to the home base station corresponding to the identifier of the home base station according to the QoS information, and delivers the QoS rule that is formulated by the BPCF entity (can be performed by using the QoS rule) The QoS rule is delivered by the request or other message).

404. The BPCF entity sends a QoS rule to the BNG to perform;

In an actual application, after obtaining the QoS rule by the HeNB-PCRF entity, the BPCF entity may perform local decision according to the configuration information to determine whether the QoS rule is enabled (for example, if the corresponding QoS rule has been previously obtained, the foregoing may not be enabled. The HeNB-PCRF entity delivers the QoS rule. Otherwise, the QoS rule may be enabled, or the HeNB-PCRF entity may be enabled to deliver the QoS rule to update the previously existing QoS rule. If the QoS rule is enabled, the QoS rule is issued. The QoS rule is executed by the BNG, and the BPCF entity can issue a QoS rule to the BNG through the QoS rule execution request or other message.

The BNG can perform QoS control on the home base station according to the above QoS rules.

It can be seen that, in this embodiment, after receiving the message such as the bearer setup request or the bearer modification request sent by the PGW, the SGW sends a message carrying the identifier of the home base station and the corresponding QoS information to the newly deployed HeNB-PCRF entity, The triggering HeNB-PCRF entity formulates a QoS rule corresponding to the home base station corresponding to the identifier of the home base station according to the QoS information, and transmits the QoS rule to the broadband network accessed by the home base station, so that the BNG in the broadband network can be based on the foregoing QoS The rules perform QoS control on the above-mentioned home base station. The SGW triggers the HeNB-PCRF entity to formulate a QoS rule corresponding to the home base station after receiving the message such as the bearer setup request or the bearer modification request sent by the PGW, and does not need to send the PCRF entity to the BPCF entity in the broadband network through the S9* interface. The QoS rule can be implemented by avoiding the upgrade of the S9* interface of the PCRF entity in the live network as much as possible. The quality of the home base station is controlled, which in turn reduces the complexity of the network implementation. For a better understanding of the technical solution of the embodiment of the present invention, in the scenario where the HeNB-PCRF entity is deployed independently, the SGW sends the QoS information obtained from the PCRF entity to the newly deployed HeNB-PCRF entity, and the HeNB-PCRF entity formulates the QoS. A specific scenario of the rule is taken as an example for further detailed introduction.

Referring to FIG. 5, another embodiment of the method for implementing the quality control of the home base station of the present invention may include:

501. The SGW receives a QoS rule execution request sent by the PCRF entity.

In an application scenario, the QoS rule execution request sent by the PCRF entity may be, for example, a re-authentication request (RAR, Re-Auth-Request) message or a credit control response (CCA, Credit-Control-Answer) message, or Other signaling.

The foregoing QoS rule execution request sent by the PCRF entity may include QoS information (or may also include a QoS rule formulated by a PCRF entity, and the QoS rule includes QoS information), and may further carry other information, where the QoS information may include the following One or more of the information: bandwidth, latency, jitter, and packet loss rate.

502. The SGW sends a resource request to the HeNB-PCRF entity, where the resource request may carry the identifier of the home base station (the home base station corresponding to the QoS rule execution request) and the corresponding QoS information, and may further carry other information. The identifier of the home base station carried in the resource request may be a home base station ID, an IP address, or other information that can uniquely identify the home base station;

503. The HeNB-PCRF entity receives the resource request from the SGW, and formulates a QoS rule corresponding to the home base station corresponding to the identifier of the home base station according to the QoS information, and delivers the QoS rule that is formulated by the BPCF entity (can be performed by using the QoS rule) The QoS rule is delivered by the request or other message).

504. The BPCF entity sends a QoS rule to the BNG.

In an actual application, after obtaining the QoS rule by the HeNB-PCRF entity, the BPCF entity may perform local decision according to the configuration information to determine whether the QoS rule is enabled (for example, if there is no corresponding QoS rule before, the QoS may be enabled). Rule, otherwise, the above HeNB-PCRF entity may not be enabled The QoS rule is issued, or the QoS rule is issued by the HeNB-PCRF entity to update the previously existing QoS rule. If the QoS rule is enabled, the QoS rule is sent to the BNG. The BPCF entity can issue a QoS rule to the BNG through a QoS rule execution request or other message.

It can be seen that, in this embodiment, after receiving the message such as the QoS rule execution request sent by the PCRF entity, the SGW sends a message carrying the identifier of the home base station and the corresponding QoS information to the newly deployed HeNB-PCRF entity to trigger the HeNB. - the PCRF entity formulates a QoS rule corresponding to the home base station corresponding to the identifier of the home base station according to the QoS information, and transmits the QoS rule to the broadband network accessed by the home base station, so that the BNG in the broadband network can be based on the foregoing QoS rule The home base station performs QoS control. After the SGW receives the message such as the QoS rule execution request sent by the PCRF entity, the HeNB-PCRF entity is triggered to formulate the QoS rule corresponding to the home base station, and the PCRF entity does not need to send the QoS to the BPCF entity in the broadband network through the S9* interface. The rule can realize the quality control of the home base station under the condition that the PCRF entity in the live network is supported to upgrade the S9* interface as much as possible, thereby reducing the network implementation complexity. In order to better understand the technical solution of the embodiment of the present invention, in the scenario that the HeNB-PCRF function is implemented in the HMS (that is, the HeNB-PCRF function module is deployed in the HMS), the SGW sends the QoS information obtained from the PGW or the PCRF entity to the HMS. For example, a process in which HMS develops QoS rules is described in further detail.

Referring to FIG. 6, another embodiment of the method for implementing the quality control of the home base station of the present invention may specifically include:

601. The SGW receives a bearer setup request or a bearer modification request sent by the PGW.

In an application scenario, the bearer setup request or the bearer modification request sent by the PGW may be, for example, signaling for creating or modifying a GTP bearer, or other signaling.

It can be understood that the SGW in step 601 can also receive the QoS rule execution request (or other message) sent by the PCRF entity, where the QoS information can be carried, and other information can be carried. 602. The SGW sends a resource request to the HMS entity, where the resource request may carry the identifier of the home base station and the corresponding QoS information, and may further carry other information. The identifier of the home base station carried in the resource request may be a home base station ID, an IP address, or other information that can uniquely identify the home base station;

The resource request sent by the SGW to the HMS entity may be, for example, GTP signaling, Diameter signaling, or other signaling.

603. The HMS entity receives the resource request from the SGW, and formulates a QoS rule corresponding to the home base station corresponding to the identifier of the home base station according to the QoS information, and delivers the QoS rule that is formulated by the BPCF entity. Other messages are sent QoS rules).

604. The BPCF entity sends a QoS rule to the BNG to perform;

In an actual application, after obtaining the QoS rule by the HMS entity, the BPCF entity may perform local decision according to the configuration information to determine whether the QoS rule is enabled (for example, if the corresponding QoS rule has been previously obtained, the HMS entity may not be enabled. The QoS rule is issued. Otherwise, the QoS rule may be enabled, or the QoS rule may be sent by the HMS entity to update the previously existing QoS rule. If the QoS rule is enabled, the QoS rule is sent to the BNG. The BPCF entity can issue a QoS rule to the BNG through a QoS rule execution request or other message.

It can be seen that, in this embodiment, after receiving the message carrying the QoS information sent by the PGW or the PCRF entity, the SGW sends a message carrying the identifier of the home base station and the corresponding QoS information to the HMS entity to trigger the HMS entity according to the QoS. The information is formulated corresponding to the QoS rule of the home base station corresponding to the identifier of the home base station, and the QoS rule is transmitted to the broadband network accessed by the home base station, so that the BNG in the broadband network can perform QoS on the home base station according to the QoS rule. control. After the SGW receives the message carrying the QoS information sent by the PGW or the PCRF entity, the HMS entity is triggered to formulate the QoS rule corresponding to the home base station, and the PCRF entity does not need to send the QoS rule to the BPCF entity in the broadband network through the S9* interface. Therefore, it is possible to implement the quality control of the home base station under the condition that the PCRF entity in the live network is supported to upgrade the S9* interface as much as possible, thereby reducing the network implementation complexity. For a better understanding of the solution of the embodiment of the present invention, the following is to implement HeNB-PCRF in the BPCF entity. In the scenario of the function of deploying the HeNB-PCRF function module in the BPCF entity, the SGW sends the QoS information obtained from the PGW or the PCRF entity to the BPCF entity. The process of formulating the QoS rule by the BPCF entity is taken as an example for further detailed introduction. .

Referring to FIG. 7, another embodiment of the method for implementing the quality control of the home base station of the present invention may include:

The resource request sent by the SGW to the BPCF entity may be, for example, GTP signaling, Diameter signaling, or other signaling.

In an application scenario, the SGW may send a resource request to the BPCF entity through the HMS, that is, use the HMS to transfer the resource request, and may also request the resource transfer through other entities, or may directly send the resource request to the BPCF entity.

703. The BPCF entity receives the resource request from the SGW, and formulates a QoS rule corresponding to the home base station corresponding to the identifier of the home base station according to the QoS information, and delivers the QoS rule to the BNG, and may execute the request or other message by using the QoS rule. The QoS rule is issued to the BNG.

In practical applications, after obtaining the QoS information from the SGW, the BPCF entity may perform local decision according to the configuration information to determine whether to formulate a QoS rule (for example, if a corresponding QoS rule has been previously obtained, the QoS rule may not be formulated; otherwise, QoS rules can be formulated, or QoS rules can be formulated Update the previously existing QoS rules. If the QoS rules are to be determined, the QoS rules are formulated according to the QoS information, and the QoS rules are issued to the BNG.

It can be seen that, in this embodiment, after receiving the message carrying the QoS information sent by the PGW or the PCRF entity, the SGW sends a message carrying the identifier of the home base station and the corresponding QoS information to the BPCF entity to trigger the BPCF entity according to the QoS. The information is formulated corresponding to the QoS rule of the home base station corresponding to the identifier of the home base station, and the QoS rule is transmitted to the BNG in the broadband network accessed by the home base station, so that the BNG can perform QoS control on the home base station according to the QoS rule. . After the SGW receives the message carrying the QoS information sent by the PGW or the PCRF entity, the BPCF entity is triggered to formulate the QoS rule corresponding to the home base station, and the PCRF entity does not need to send the QoS rule to the BPCF entity in the broadband network through the S9* interface. Therefore, it is possible to implement the quality control of the home base station under the condition that the PCRF entity in the live network is supported to upgrade the S9* interface as much as possible, thereby reducing the network implementation complexity. In order to better understand the technical solution of the embodiment of the present invention, in the scenario that the HeNB-PCRF function is implemented by the PCRF entity in the roaming scenario, the visited SGW sends the QoS information obtained from the home PGW or the home PCRF entity to the visited PCRF entity. A specific scenario in which a QoS rule is formulated by a PCRF entity is taken as an example for further detailed introduction.

Referring to FIG. 8, another embodiment of the method for implementing the quality control of the home base station of the present invention may specifically include:

801. The SGW receives the bearer setup request or the bearer modification request sent by the home PGW. In an application scenario, the bearer setup request or the bearer modification request sent by the PGW may be, for example, signaling for creating or modifying a GTP bearer, or other Signaling.

It can be understood that, in step 801, the SGW can also receive the QoS rule execution request (or other message) sent by the home PCRF entity, where the QoS information can be carried, and other information can be carried.

802. The visited SGW sends a resource request to the visited PCRF entity, where the resource request can be carried. The identity of the home base station and the corresponding QoS information may of course carry other information. The identifier of the home base station carried in the resource request may be a home base station ID, an IP address, or other information that can uniquely identify the home base station;

804. The BPCF entity sends a QoS rule to the BNG.

In an actual application, after obtaining the QoS rule by the visited PCRF entity, the BPCF entity may perform local decision according to the configuration information to determine whether the QoS rule is enabled (for example, if the corresponding QoS rule has been previously obtained, the above-mentioned visit may not be enabled. The QoS rule is sent by the PCRF entity. Otherwise, the QoS rule can be enabled, or the QoS rule can be enabled to update the previously existing QoS rule. If the QoS rule is enabled, the QoS rule is sent. Executed for the BNG, the BPCF entity may issue a QoS rule to the BNG through the QoS rule execution request or other message.

It should be noted that, in the roaming scenario, the QoS information obtained by the visited SGW from the home PGW or the home PCRF entity is sent to the visited PCRF entity, and a specific scenario in which the visited PCRF entity formulates the QoS rule is introduced as an example. .

(The upgrade of the S9* interface is not supported by the visited PCRF entity.) For details, refer to the description of the foregoing embodiment, and details are not described herein.

It can be seen that, in this embodiment, in the case of the roaming scenario, after receiving the message carrying the QoS information sent by the home PGW or the home PCRF entity, the visited SGW sends the identifier of the home base station and the corresponding QoS information to the visited PCRF entity. a message, in order to trigger the visited PCRF entity to formulate a QoS rule corresponding to the home base station corresponding to the identifier of the home base station according to the QoS information, and to the foregoing The broadband network accessed by the home base station transmits the QoS rule, so that the BNG can perform QoS control on the home base station according to the QoS rule.

The BPCF entity sends the QoS rule, so as to avoid the upgrade of the S9* interface of the PCRF entity of the home network in the live network, the quality of the network base station can be reduced. For a better understanding of the technical solution of the embodiment of the present invention, in the scenario where the HeNB-PCRF entity is deployed independently, the SecGW sends the obtained QoS information to the HeNB-PCRF entity, and the HeNB-PCRF entity formulates a specific QoS rule. The scene is taken as an example for further detailed introduction.

Referring to FIG. 9, another embodiment of the method for implementing the quality control of the home base station of the present invention may include:

901. After detecting the bearer setup request or the bearer modification request, the SecGW parses the QoS information and the identifier of the home base station from the bearer setup request or the bearer modification request.

The QoS rule may be sent by the HeNB-PCRF entity, or the QoS rule may be sent to the HeNB-PCRF entity to update the previously existing QoS rule. If the QoS rule is enabled, the QoS is delivered. The rules are enforced for BNG. The BPCF entity can issue a QoS rule to the BNG through a QoS rule execution request or other message.

It is to be understood that the scenario in which the HeNB-PCRF entity is deployed independently is used as an example. If the HeNB-PCRF module is deployed in an HMS entity or a BPCF entity, the HMS entity or the BPCF entity formulates the corresponding home.
