本发明涉及一种通过可信任非第三代合作伙伴计划 (3GPP , 3rd Generation Partnership Project ) 网络接入到演进分组系统 (EPS, Evolved Packet Core )的技术, 尤其涉及一种用户设备(UE, User Equipment )通过 可信任无线局域网(WLAN, Wireless Local Area Network )等接入演进分组 系统的方法及系统。 背景技术
3GPP 的 EPS 由演进的通用地面无线接入网 (E-UTRAN , Evolved Universal Terrestrial Radio Access Network )、移动管理单元( MME , Mobility Management Entity ), 月良务网关 (S-GW, Serving Gateway )、 分组数据网络 网关 (P-GW, Packet Data Network Gateway )和归属用户服务器(HSS, Home Subscriber Server )组成。
EPS支持与非 3GPP系统的互通, 图 1为 UE通过可信任的非 3GPP网 络接入移动核心网络的架构图, 如图 1所示。 其中, 与非 3GPP系统的互通 通过 S2a/ S2b/ S2c接口实现, P-GW作为 3GPP与非 3GPP系统间的锚点。 在 EPS的系统架构图中,非 3GPP系统接入被分为不可信任非 3GPP接入和 可信任非 3GPP接入; 其中, 不可信任非 3GPP接入需经过演进的分组数据 网关( ePDG, Evolved Packet Data Gateway )与 P-GW相连, ePDG与 P-GW 间的接口为 S2b; 可信任非 3GPP接入可直接通过 S2a接口与 P-GW连接, S2a接口采用 PMIP/GTP进行信息交互;另夕卜, S2c接口提供了 UE与 P-GW 之间的用户面相关的控制和移动性支持, 其支持的移动性管理协议为支持 双栈的移动 IPv6 ( DSMIPv6 , Mobile IPv6 Support for Dual Stack Hosts and Routers ), 其可用于不可信任非 3GPP和可信任非 3GPP接入。
无线局域网络( WLAN , Wireless Local Area Network )可以作为可信任 非 3GPP接入 EPS。 因为 WLAN网络本身有两种组网模式, 分别为家庭网 关(RG, Residential Gateway ) 为桥接模式和 RG 为路由模式, 所以, 在 WLAN与 EPS互通时,需要分别考虑不同组网模式与 EPS互通的技术要求。
其中, RG 为桥接模式时, 宽带网络网关 (BNG, Broadband Network Gateway )/宽带网远程接入服务器( BRAS, Broadband Remote Access Server ) 需要支持代理移动 IP ( PMIP, Proxy Mobile IP ) / GPRS隧道协议( GTP, GPRS Tunneling Protocol ),并能够将移动网络为 UE分配的地址返回给 UE, 在此场景下, UE如何通过固网 (作为可信任的非 3GPP接入网)接入到演 进分组系统( EPS , Evolved Packet System ) , 目前已经实现。
图 2为 UE通过固网接入到移动核心网络的架构图, 需要说明的是,本 申请文件中的 WLAN网络、 固网, BBF (接入) 网 (络) 均指同一网络, 即图 2中所展示的网络, 各个名称在本发明中可能交替使用。 图 2所示网 络包括:
RG为路由模式时, UE访问固网业务时, 流程的具体步驟是: 首先, BNG/BRAS 为 RG分配固网的 IP地址, 即用户端设备 ( CPE, Customer Premise Equipment )地址,然后 RG作为动态主机配置协议( DHCP, Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol ) Server, 通过 DHCP消息, 为 UE分配一个 IP 地址(一般为私有地址;), UE获取该 IP地址之后, 即可以通过 BNG/BRAS 访问固网业务, 其中, RG起到了网络地址转换(NAT, Network Address Translation )功能。 但是, 如果 UE通过 WLAN接入移动核心网络的话, 路 由模式的现有消息机制无法触发 BNG/BRAS通过 S2a接口向移动核心网络 发送 PMIP/GTP消息,是以后续的操作:从移动核心网络获取其为 UE分配 的 IP地址、 采用该 IP地址访问移动运营商提供的业务都无法完成。 发明内容
有鉴于此, 本发明的主要目的在于提供一种接入演进分组系统的方法 及系统,能使 UE通过固网等网络接入到 EPS中, 实现了 UE到外部网络及 EPS的灵活快捷接入。
为达到上述目的, 本发明的技术方案是这样实现的:

图 3为本发明接入演进分组系统的方法的流程图。 具体实施方式
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, 对本发明作进一步详细说明。
在本发明中, RG称作本地网关, BNG/BRAS称作非 3GPP接入网关。 图 3为本发明接入演进分组系统的方法的流程图, 如图 3所示, 本本 发明接入演进分组系统的方法是 RG为路由模式下, WLAN作为可信任的 non 3 GPP网络,移动 UE通过 S2a接口接入移动核心网( EPC , Evolved Packet Core ) 的场景, 其中 S2a接口采用 PMIP接口或者 GTP接口。 其中, 固定 网络和移动网络(EPS )分别为 UE分配一个 IP地址, 或者仅仅由移动网 络( EPS为 UE分配 IP地址。 在 UE中保存两个或者一个 IP地址。 RG和 BNG/BRAS之间可选的采用 DHCP协议。 本发明接入演进分组系统的方法 具体包括以下步驟: 步驟 S301 , RG和 BNG/BRAS之间进行点到点协议( PPP, Point-to-Point Protocol )协商和认证过程, 在 PPP协商过程中, BNG/BRAS为 RG分配本 地 IP地址, 即用户端设备 ( CPE , Customer Premises Equipment ) IP。
步驟 S302, UE和 RG之间进行 DHCP协商过程, 在 DHCP协商过程 中, RG为 UE分配一个 IP地址, 一般为私网 IP, 本发明中称为 IP2。
以上两步都是现有网络中就已经支持的操作, 因此无需对网络进行增 强(升级等)。 在本发明中, 如果 UE没有从 WLAN旁路分流的需求, 该步 驟 S302可以省略, 不执行。 如果 UE仅通过固网如 WLAN等实现到 EPS 的接入, 则无需执行步驟 S302, 即不需要通过固网访问外部网络时, 不必 执行步驟 S302。
步驟 S303 , UE与 RG之间进行 PPP LCP协商, 并选定认证方式。 因 为 3GPP规定接入 EPC的非 3GPP接入网需要采用 EAP认证,在此 LCP协 商中选定的认证方式为 EAP认证。
步驟 S304, RG、 BNG/BRAS作为 EAP认证的代理( proxy ), BBF AAA 也作为 EAP认证的代理, UE以移动网 (EPS中的用户) 身份通过固网接 入, 并完成到 3GPP HSS/AAA的认证授权, 认证方式为 EAP。
步驟 S305 , HSS/AAA向 BPCF发送 EAP认证成功的响应消息, BPCF 向 BNG/BRAS转发该认证成功消息。
步驟 S306, BNG/BRAS受到认证成功消息的触发,发起策略会话建立。 其中策略会话包括 BNG/BRAS 和 BPCF之间的固网策略会话, BPCF 和 PCRF之间的 S9*会话。 该步驟在不同的场景可以执行或者省略。 具体需要 依 BNG/BRAS和 P-GW之间基于 PMIP连接还是基于 GTP连接而确定是否 省略该步驟, 如果 BNG/BRAS和 P-GW之间基于 PMIP连接, 则该步驟为 必选步驟; 如果 BNG/BRAS和 P-GW之间基于 GTP连接, 该步驟可以省 略。 步驟 S307, BNG/BRAS受到认证成功消息的触发, 向 P-GW请求隧道 绑定。
如果 BNG/BRAS和 P-GW之间的 S2a接口是基于 PMIP的接口, 则 BNG/BRAS向 P-GW发送 PBU消息;如果 BNG/BRAS和 P-GW之间的 S2a 接口是基于 GTP的接口, 则 BNG/BRAS向 P-GW发送创建会话请求消息。
其中上述的隧道绑定请求消息中包括:接入点名称( APN, Access Point Name ),国际移动用户识另'码( IMSI, International Mobile Subscriber Identity ) 等信息, 以向 P-GW请求 IP地址分配。
步驟 S308, P-GW接收到 PBU消息或创建会话请求消息之后, 会与 PCRF之间进行 IP-CAN会话的建立。
步驟 S309 , P-GW向 HSS进行 P-GW标识的更新。
步驟 S310, P-GW向 BNG/BRAS回复 PBA或 GTP的创建会话响应消 息, 该消息中携带 P-GW为 UE分配的 IP地址, 称为 IP1。
步驟 S311 , BNG/BRAS接收到 PBA/创建会话响应消息之后, 从消息 中获取 IP1之后, 通过 EAP认证成功消息发送给 RG。
RG 向 UE发送认证成功消息, 其中该认证成功消息中可以携带地址 IP1 , 也可以不携带地址 IP1。 这里, 如果 RG向 UE发送认证成功消息中不 携带 IP1 , 则会在 RG存储该 IP1信息, 并会向 UE分配私网的 IP地址, 在 此称作 IP3 , 并设置 IP3与 IP1之间的映射关系。 当然, 上述操作也可以在 BNG/BRAS中进行, 即 BNG/BRAS为 UE分配私网的 IP3 , 并设置 IP3与 IP1之间的映射(Mapping )关系, 将该 IP3信息通过 RG发送给 UE。 其实 现方式与 RG存储 IP1并设置 IP3与 IP1之间的映射关系基本相同。 本领域 技术人员应当理解, 上述仅是作为对本发明技术方案实现进行的补充, 并 非用于限定本发明。
步驟 S312至步驟 S313 , RG获取 IP1地址。 并通过 PPP IPCP协商将 IP1地址发送给 UE, 或者, 将与 IP1对应的 IP3地址发送给 UE。
其中, RG获取地址 IP1后, 可以先存储该地址, 等 UE请求 IPCP协 商后再将该地址 IP1发送给 UE; 或者 RG存储该地址, 并在 UE请求 IPCP 协商后, 为 UE分配一个私网的 IP3 , 在 RG上维护 IP1和 IP3的映射关系, 并通过 IPCP消息将 IP3地址发送给 UE。 在步驟 S311中已进行相应说明。
步驟 S314, 如果有需要更新的策略, 则 PCRF会触发自身与 BPCF、 BNG/BRAS和 BPCF之间会进行策略更新操作。
步驟 S315 , UE可以根据从网络侧 /本地配置获取的分流策略, 进行数 据传输, 具体如下:
a )分流数据(具体参见步驟 S315 ): 如果 UE获取了 IP2地址, UE可 以选择用 IP2地址与外部通信, 这样数据会通过 BNG/BRAS直接与外网互 通。 也就是说, 如果 UE选择 IP2地址作为源地址进行业务访问, 则固网网 关将使 UE通过 BNG/BRAS直接与外网互通,即实现固网的普通业务接入。
b )从移动网络( EPS )访问的数据(具体参见步驟 S316 ): 当 UE判断 该业务数据需要通过移动网络访问的话,对于上行业务数据,则 UE会将该 业务 4艮文的 IP 源地址填为 IP1 , 目的地址为 ^艮文的真正目的地址; RG、 BNG/BRAS以及移动网络的设备均对数据进行路由转发即可。 也就是说, UE需要直接通过固网访问外部网络时, 一般选择 IP2地址作为业务的源地 址,这样就如现有的固网所实现的功能直接接入到外部网络; 而当 UE需要 访问 EPS时, 选择 IP1作为业务的源地址, 这样, 固网网关在确定业务的 源地址为 IP1时, 将会将 UE接入到 EPS。
如果 UE获取的是 IP3 , 则 UE会将该业务的 IP源地址填为 IP3 , 目的 地址为报文的真正目的地址; RG在接收到该报文之后,根据本地保存的 IP1 和 IP3的映射表, 修改报文的 IP源地址为 IP1 , 然后进行路由转发。 也就 是说, 当 UE仅获取了 IP3地址时, 此时可以仅实现到 EPS的接入。 本发明中, offload表示分流或者卸载或者旁路, 均指数据不经过 EPS 核心网而直接路由。
步驟 316: EPC路由数据包。 即将数据包在 EPC中进行路由。
本发明中, 如果 UE在步驟 S302没有获取 IP2地址, 而在步驟 S313 仅仅获取了 IP3地址, 也可以实现数据分流。 这时在 RG可以配置相应的分 流策略, 当 UE用 IP3与外网通信时, RG可以根据策略决定哪些 IP流从 BNG/BRAS 直接接入到外网, 将这部分 IP 流的地址 IP3 更换为由 BNG/BRAS为 RG分配的 CPE地址(上行流, 对于下行流做逆操作), 即 典型的 NAT操作; 对于 RG决定需要接入移动核心网( EPS )路由的 IP流, 将相应数据包的 IP3地址更换为 IP1地址(上行流,对于下行流做逆操作 ), 即可实现接入到 EPS。 这里, 分流策略可以是根据业务的类型确定出应直 接接入外网还是接入 EPS, 如对于设定类型的业务, 只能接入到 EPS, 而 对于该设定类型之外的业务, 接入 EPS或外网均可。 例如, 也可以根据业 务的目的地址作出相应的接入分流测量, 例如, 目的地址中的地址信息是 设定列表中的地址时, 业务只能接入到 EPS, 否则, 业务可以接入到 EPS 或夕卜网。
当然, 作为一种可行的实现方式, 上述 RG执行的动作, 也可以由 BNG/BRAS替代 RG而实现。
以下, 通过具体的应用例, 进一步阐明本发明技术方案的实质。
应用例一
本实施例中, 通过图 3所示的流程, UE获取了一个 IP地址 IP1 (不执 行步驟 S302 )。 在步驟 312和步驟 313中, RG直接将 IP1地址发送给 UE, 没有 IP3地址。 其余流程均与上述图示的流程相同, 这里不再赘述其细节。
UE获取了 IP1地址, 与外部网络(通过 EPS接入)通信。 对于上行数 据, 数据包的封装格式如下表 1所示:
Figure imgf000013_0001
表 1
数据包经过 RG、 BNG/BRAS时都是这种格式, RG和 BNG/BRAS只做一 般路由功能。 对于下行数据流, 源地址和目的地址对换。 也就是说, 如果 UE仅获取了 IP1地址, 仅进行 EPS的接入。
如果 RG上制定了相应的分流策略, 即虽然 UE仅获取了 IP1地址, 但 RG上制定了相应的分流策略。 这样, UE封装数据包如上述表 1所示, 而 数据包到了 RG之后, RG对数据包的源 IP地址进行修改或不修改, 具体 的, 爹改时, 如下表 2所示:
源 IP: CPE
目的 IP 数据报文
地址 表 2
具体的, 当 RG根据分流策略, 确定当前业务数据包需发送给外网时, 将会 将所接收的如表 1所示的数据包修改为如表 2所示的结构。 RG根据分流策 略, 确定当前业务数据包需发送给 EPS时, 将不会对如表 1所示的数据包 进行修改, 而是直接发送给 BNG/BRAS。
数据包到了 BNG/BRAS后, 如果 BNG/BRAS发现数据包的源地址为 CPE地址, 则 BNG/BRAS直接将该数据包路由到外网, 如果 BNG/BRAS 发现数据包的源地址为 IP1 , 则将该数据包封入 S2a接口的隧道, 发送给 P-GW。 对于下行数据流, 地址更换做上述的逆操作即可, 这里不再赘述其 实现细节, 本领域技术人员应当理解, 实现上述逆操作是容易实现的。
应用例二
本实施例中,通过图 3所示的流程, UE获取了两个 IP地址: IP2和 IP3。 在本实施例中, 上述流程包括步驟 S302。 步驟 S312和步驟 S313 中, RG 将 IP1地址映射为 IP3后发送给 UE, IP1地址终结在 RG。
UE获取了 IP2地址, 与外部网络进行通信时, 对于上行数据, 数据包 的封装格式如表 4所示:
源 IP: IP2 目的 IP 数据报文
表 3
数据包经过 RG时, RG执行 NAT功能, 将 IP2地址更换为 CPE地址, 如 上表 2所示。 这种情况下, BNG/BRAS只是执行一般路由功能, 将数据包 路由到外网。 对于下行数据流, 地址更换做上述的逆操作即可, 这里不再 赘述其实现细节, 本领域技术人员应当理解, 实现上述逆操作是容易实现 的。
UE获取了 IP3地址, UE用该 IP地址通过移动核心网与外网 ( EPS ) 通信。 UE封装数据包的格式如表 4所示:
源 IP: IP3 目的 IP 数据报文 表 4
数据包到达 RG后, RG数据包中的源地址 IP3地址更换为 IP1 , 如上表 1 所示。数据包到了 BNG/BRAS后, BNG/BRAS发现数据包的源地址为 IP1 , 则将该数据包封入 S2a接口的隧道, 发送给 P-GW。 对于下行数据流, 地址 更换作上述的逆操作即可, 这里不再赘述其实现细节, 本领域技术人员应 当理解, 实现上述逆操作是容易实现的。
应用例三
本实施例中,通过图 3所示的流程, UE获取了两个 IP地址: IP2和 IP1。 其操作流程参见流程图 3。 在本实施例中, 上述流程包括步驟 S302。 在步 驟 S312和步驟 S313中, RG将 IP1直接发送给 UE。
UE获取了 IP2地址, 与外部网络进行通信时, 由于该部分数据属于分 流数据(通过固网直接访问外部网络)。 对于上行数据, 数据包的封装格式 如表 3所示。 数据包经过 RG时, RG执行 NAT功能, 将 IP2地址更换为 CPE地址, 如表 2所示。 BNG/BRAS只做一般路由功能, 将数据包路由到 外网。 对于下行数据流, 地址更换作上述的逆操作即可。
UE获取了 IP1地址, 如果需要将业务数据包发送给 EPS (接入 EPS ), 则对于上行数据, UE封装数据包的格式如表,数据包经过 RG、 BNG/BRAS 都是此格式, BNG/BRAS接收到数据包后发现数据包的源地址为 IP1 ,则将 该数据包封入 S2a接口的隧道, 发送给 P-GW。 对于下行数据流, 执行逆操 作即可。
应用例四
上述应用例二中, RG做了 IP1地址和 IP3地址的映射, 作为一种补充 实现, 该功能也可以由 BNG/BRAS 实现。 即 IP1 地址由 P-GW 到达 BNG/BRAS后, BNG/BRAS分配一个 IP3地址, 并将该地址发供给 UE。
BNG/BRAS 上维护了 IP1 和 IP3 的对应关系, 当上下行的数据包经过 BNG/BRAS时, BNG/BRAS根据 IP1和 IP3的对应关系做数据包的封装做 IP地址更换, 可以同样实现上述功能。

或者, 所述本地网关接收到所述 UE以所述 P-GW分配的 IP地址为源 地址的数据包后,根据本地策略将所述 P-GW分配的 IP地址更换为 CPE地 址后由非 3GPP接入网发送到外部网络;
