Description

群組通信的方法和用于群組通信的装置
本申请要求于 2011 年 02 月 25 日提交中国专利局、 申请号为 201110046939.8、 发明名称为"群组通信的方法和用于群组通信的装置"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
本发明涉及通信领域,特别涉及通信领域中群组通信的方法和用于群组通 信的装置。
背景技术
M2M是"机器对机器( Machine to Machine )通信"或者"人对机器( Man to Machine )通信"的筒称, 主要是指通过 "通信网络"传递信息, 从而实现机器对 机器或人对机器的数据交换,也就是通过通信网络实现机器之间的互联、互通。 移动通信网络由于其网络的特殊性, 终端侧不需要人工布线, 可以提供移动性 支持, 有利于节约成本, 并可以满足在危险环境下的通信需求, 使得以移动通 信网络作为承载的 M2M服务得到了业界的广泛关注, 特别是在安全检测、 机 械服务和维修业务、 公共交通系统、 车队管理、 工业自动化、 城市信息化等领 域得到了广泛应用。
为了能够集中管理 M2M设备和 M2M应用, 网络应用在 M2M平台创建 M2M群组, 该网络应用包括诸如电力公司、 出租车公司、 环境监测部门等授 权实体,该 M2M群组包括行业应用群组,例如抄表终端群组、车载设备群组、 传感器群组等。 根据终端能力和部署位置的不同, 群组中的群组成员 ( MEMBER )可以直接接入平台, 也可以通过不同网关接入平台; 另外根据 终端业务特性的不同,群组中的群组成员可能以固定位置接入, 也可能发生位 置改变或接入点切换。
4受权实体请求访问群组的群组成员时,平台可以根据群组定义向各个群组 成员分别下发访问请求, 各个群组成员在接收请求后返回响应, 该响应可以包 括返回数据、 改变状态等。 但是在该群组通信中, 群组成员的数量可能很大, 因此如果 M2M平台向每个群组成员单独下发请求, 那么这将会造成较大的信 令开销, 从而影响群组通信的效率。 例如, 对于电力公司应用需要收集几个小 区中的几千个用户的用电情况, 电力公司平台在收到电力公司应用的请求后, 需要向每个用户单独下发用电情况上报请求,并接收每个用户发送的对该请求 的响应, 由此造成开销庞大。
发明内容
为此, 本发明实施例提供了一种群组通信的方法和用于群组通信的装置, 能够减小群组通信时的信令开销, 从而提高群组通信的效率。
一方面, 本发明实施例提供了一种群组通信的方法, 该方法包括: 接收来 自网络应用的请求接入该群组的群组接入请求,该群组接入请求包括该群组的 群组标识; 根据该群组标识获取该群组中各群组成员的群组成员信息; 根据该 群组成员信息,确定该群组中通过同一网关与业务功能实体连接的第一群组成 员; 向该网关发送请求接入该第一群组成员的第一群组成员接入请求。
另一方面, 本发明实施例提供了一种用于群组通信的业务功能实体, 该业 务功能实体包括: 第一接收模块、 获取模块、 第一确定模块和第一发送模块, 该第一接收模块用于接收来自网络应用的请求接入该群组的群组接入请求,该 群组接入请求包括该群组的群组标识;该获取模块用于根据该群组标识获取该 群组中各群组成员的群组成员信息; 该第一确定模块用于根据该群组成员信 息,确定该群组中通过同一网关与业务功能实体连接的第一群组成员; 该第一 发送模块用于向该网关发送请求接入该第一群组成员的第一群组成员接入请 求。
再一方面, 本发明实施例提供了一种用于群组通信的网关, 该网关包括第 一接收模块和第一发送模块,该第一接收模块用于接收来自业务功能实体的请 求接入第一群组成员的第一群组成员接入请求,该第一群组成员为该群组中通 过同一网关与该业务功能实体连接的群组成员;该第一发送模块用于向每个该 第一群组成员发送请求接入相应的第一群组成员的第三接入请求。
基于上述技术方案, 本发明实施例的群组通信的方法和业务功能实体, 通 过业务功能实体确定群组中通过同一网关与业务功能实体连接的第一群组成 员, 并向该网关发送一次接入请求, 可以避免业务功能实体分别向每个群组成 员单独发送接入请求,从而能够显著地减小群组通信时的信令开销,提高群组 通信的效率。

图 1示出了根据本发明实施例的应用场景的示意图。 如图 1所示, M2M 系统可以包括维护 M2M群组定义并提供 M2M群组业务控制的 M2M平台、 为不同 M2M群组成员提供与 M2M平台连接能力的 M2M网关、作为 M2M群 组成员的 M2M实体和请求 M2M群组业务的网络应用, M2M平台、 M2M网 关、 M2M实体和网络应用通过通信网络而连接在一起, 形成物联网。 M2M实体可以采用多种方式与 M2M平台连接,在本发明实施例中, M2M 实体可以直接创建在 M2M平台上, 作为 M2M平台资源, 形成群组中的本地 群组成员,如图 1中的 M2M实体 1 ; M2M实体也可以直接与 M2M平台连接, 如图 1中的 M2M实体 2; M2M实体还可以经由 M2M网关而与平台连接, 如 图 1所示, M2M实体 3、 M2M实体 4和 M2M实体 5经由 M2M网关 1与平 台连接, M2M实体 6和 M2M实体 7经由 M2M网关 2与平台连接。
应理解, 图 1仅仅是为了更容易理解本发明而设置的应用场景示意图, 图中各 设备的名称、 数量、 连接关系等都不构成对本发明实施例的任何限定。
还应理解, 在本发明实施例中, 网络应用包括使用网络的各种应用实体, 例如设备实体、 设备应用实体、 网关实体、 网关应用实体、 业务功能实体等, 业务功能实体包括用于操作和维护群组成员的装置, 例如系统平台。本领域技 术人员可以理解, 在 M2M中, 网络应用可以包括 M2M实体、 或 M2M网关、 或业务功能实体等, 该 M2M实体可以包括 M2M设备、 或 M2M设备资源、 或 M2M应用等, 业务功能实体可以包括 M2M平台、 或 M2M网关、 或 M2M 设备等。
图 2示出了根据本发明实施例的群组通信的方法 100的流程图。 如图 1 所示, 该方法 100包括:
S110,接收来自网络应用的请求接入群组的群组接入请求,该群组接入请 求包括该群组的群组标识;
S120, 根据该群组标识获取该群组中各群组成员的群组成员信息;
S130,根据该群组成员信息,确定该群组中通过同一网关与业务功能实体 连接的第一群组成员;
S140, 向该网关发送请求接入该第一群组成员的第一群组成员接入请求。 当网络应用需要接入群组时, 例如网络应用需要查询数据、 控制状态时, 网络应用可以向业务功能实体发送群组接入请求,该群组接入请求包括该群组 的群组标识, 其中该群组接入请求用于向业务功能实体请求接入群组, 该群组 接入请求还可以包括该网络应用的网络应用标识。在本发明实施例中,接入请 求可以是请求创建、 或请求更新、 或请求删除、 或请求获取、 或请求订阅等, 也可以是其它一些接入请求, 例如 OMA DM ( Open Mobile Alliance, Device Management, 即开放移动联盟, 设备管理)和 /或 TR069 (即广域网管理协议) 的设备管理。
业务功能实体在接收到该群组接入请求后,根据该群组标识获取该群组中 各群组成员的群组成员信息, 该群组成员信息可以包括成员标识、接入方式等 信息, 该群组成员信息还可以包括设备特性和接入特性等。 业务功能实体根据 该群组成员信息, 确定该群组中的第一群组成员, 该第一群组成员通过同一网 关与业务功能实体连接。 例如, 在网络应用要接入的群组中, 将群组中通过第 一网关连接业务功能实体的一个或多个群组成员定义为第一群组成员,这些第 一群组成员首先属于群组,另外这些第一群组成员都通过第一网关与业务功能 实体连接。 应理解, 为了描述方便, 本发明实施例中的第一群组成员针对第一 网关而言,但该群组中的群组成员与业务功能实体连接所经由的网关可以是一 个或多个,对于其它网关而言, 同样可以应用根据本发明实施例的群组通信的 方法, 从而减小群组通信时的信令开销, 提高群组通信的效率。
例如,对于第二网关而言, 通过第二网关连接业务功能实体的一个或多个 群组成员也可以认为是第一群组成员, 此时,对与第二网关对应的第一群组成 员进行接入时,向该第二网关发送请求接入与该第二网关对应的第一群组成员 的第一群组成员接入请求。 应理解, 对于第二网关而言, 通过第二网关连接业 务功能实体的一个或多个群组成员也可以定义为第四群组成员, 此时,对与第 二网关对应的第四群组成员进行接入时,向该第二网关发送请求接入与该第四 群组成员的第四群组成员接入请求, 此时, 该第四群组成员接入请求包括与该 第四群组成员相关联的信息, 例如第四群组的群组标识, 或第四群组的群组成 员标识等。
关于网络应用对第一群组成员的接入,业务功能实体向与第一群组成员相 应的网关发送第一群组成员接入请求,该第一群组成员接入请求用于请求接入 该第一群组成员。即,对于通过同一网关与业务功能实体连接的第一群组成员, 业务功能实体仅需要向网关发送一次接入请求,而不用向每个群组成员单独发 送接入请求, 由此能够极大地减小群组通信时的信令开销。
本发明实施例的群组通信的方法,通过业务功能实体确定群组中通过同一 网关与业务功能实体连接的第一群组成员, 并向该网关发送一次接入请求, 可 以避免业务功能实体分别向每个群组成员单独发送接入请求,从而能够显著地 减 、群组通信时的信令开销, 提高群组通信的效率。
在本发明实施例中,业务功能实体向网关发送的第一群组成员接入请求可 以根据群组成员特性或网络特性采用不同的接入方式, 例如可以采用 Ad-hoc 接入方式或子群组接入方式。 其中, 群组成员特性可以包括设备特性和 /或接 入特性, 该设备特性可以包括设备与业务功能实体的连接方式和移动性等, 该 接入特性可以包括接入次数或频率等, 该网络特性可以包括网络拥堵情况。这 些特性或信息可以由相应的设备报给平台、 或网关、 或其它设备, 例如在初始 接入时, 设备可以主动地上报特性, 或在平台、 网关、 设备等的请求下, 被动 地上报特性。 另外, 群组成员特性也可以通过平台、 或网关、 或设备收集的设 备信息判断得出,例如 NRAR( Network Reachability, Addressing and Repository, 即网络可达性、寻址和储存库)中收集的设备寻址地址或所在网关地址等设备 信息。
可选地, 业务功能实体可以根据第一群组成员的设备特性、 网络特性和接 入特性中的一种或多种特性, 向与第一群组成员对应的网关发送 Ad-hoc接入 请求,其中该 Ad-hoc接入请求包括每个第一群组成员的成员标识。对于 Ad-hoc 接入方式, 业务功能实体向网关发送的 Ad-hoc接入请求携带需要网关处理的 群组成员信息, 采用 Ad-hoc接入方式时, 即使网关下的群组成员位置经常发 生改变,例如漫游,业务功能实体或网关依然可以对该群组成员进行准确定位。
例如, 当网络拥堵时, 业务功能实体可以自动使用 Ad-hoc接入方式, 请 求对第一群组成员进行接入。 业务功能实体也可以根据接入特性,例如接入第 一群组成员的次数较少或频率较低, 确定对第一群组成员的接入采用 Ad-hoc 接入方式。 当然, 业务功能实体可以根据第一群组成员的设备特性、 网络特性 和接入特性中的一种或多种特性, 确定采用 Ad-hoc接入方式。
可选地,在业务功能实体确定第一群组成员后, 业务功能实体根据群组成 员特性中的设备特性确定第一群组成员具有高移动性,由此业务功能实体向与 第一群组成员对应的网关发送 Ad-hoc接入请求,其中该 Ad-hoc接入请求包括 每个第一群组成员的成员标识。
应理解,群组成员的移动性指与群组成员对应的设备的移动性, 高移动性 的群组成员例如是移动终端或车载终端等经常进行切换的终端,这些终端会接 入不同的网关,低移动性的群组采用例如即插即用设备, 该即插即用设备的移 动频率较低,在一段时间内都经由同一个网关接入, 广义的低移动性的群组成 员还包括那些不具有移动性的群组成员, 例如有线接入的设备或网关等。
可选地, 业务功能实体可以根据第一群组成员的设备特性、 网络特性和接 入特性中的一种或多种特性,在与第一群组成员对应的网关创建包括所有第一 群组成员的子群组; 或者, 业务功能实体确定该第一群组成员属于已创建的子 群组, 于是业务功能实体向该网关发送子群组接入请求, 其中该子群组接入请 求包括该子群组的子群组标识。 业务功能实体采用子群组接入方式与采用 Ad-hoc接入方式相比, 更筒单高效, 只需要携带该子群组标识。
例如, 当网络拥堵时, 业务功能实体可以自动使用子群组接入方式, 请求 对第一群组成员进行接入。 业务功能实体也可以根据接入特性, 例如接入第一 群组成员的次数较多或频率较高,确定对第一群组成员的接入采用子群组接入 方式。 例如, 网络应用在业务功能实体创建群组后, 网络应用接入该群组中的 第一群组成员时, 业务功能实体可以首先根据群组成员特性自动地采用 Ad-hoc接入方式, 但如果该第一群组成员的接入次数较多或使用频率较高, 那么为了减少业务功能实体每次处理开销和处理时延,业务功能实体在某次处 理接入请求时, 可以以独立的消息创建子群组, 并采用子群组接入方式对第一 群组成员进行接入。
类似地,例如业务功能实体可以首先根据第一群组成员的群组成员特性和
/或网络特性自动地在网关创建子群组, 并采用子群组接入方式, 但是如果业 务功能实体确定使用子群组的接入次数较少或使用频率较低时,业务功能实体 在某次处理接入请求时, 在请求中携带删除所有子群组的消息, 或以独立的消 息删除所有子群组, 并在后续的处理中采用 Ad-hoc接入方式来接入第一群组 成员, 更进一步地, 业务功能实体也可以根据一些子群组的接入次数较少或使 用频率较低, 在某次处理接入请求时, 在请求中携带删除所有子群组的消息, 或以独立的消息删除或更新这些子群组, 并在后续的处理中采用 Ad-hoc的接 入方式。 当然, 业务功能实体可以根据第一群组成员的设备特性、 网络特性和 接入特性中的一种或多种特性, 确定采用子群组接入方式。 可选地,在业务功能实体确定第一群组成员后, 业务功能实体根据群组成 员特性中的设备特性确定第一群组成员具有低移动性,因而业务功能实体在与 第一群组成员对应的网关创建包括所有第一群组成员的子群组,并向该网关发 送子群组接入请求, 其中该子群组接入请求包括该子群组的子群组标识。
因此, 本发明实施例的群组通信的方法,通过业务功能实体确定群组中通 过同一网关与业务功能实体连接的第一群组成员,并向该网关发送一次接入请 求, 可以避免业务功能实体分别向每个群组成员单独发送接入请求,从而能够 显著地减小群组通信时的信令开销, 提高群组通信的效率。
下面将以根据本发明实施例的群组通信方法在 M2M中的应用为例, 详细 说明根据本发明实施例的群组通信的方法。
图 3示出了根据本发明另一实施例的群组通信的方法 200的时序图。如图 3所示, 在 S202中, M2M应用向 M2M平台发送 M2M群组接入请求, 该群 组接入请求携带该群组的群组标识,该接入请求例如是创建请求、或更新请求、 或删除请求、 或获取请求、 或订阅请求等。 可选地, 该群组接入请求可以是 READ req (MEMBER CONTENT) NAID, groupResourcelD , 其中该" MEMBER CONTENT"表示成员内容, "NAID"表示网络应用标识, "groupResourcelD"表 示群组资源标识。
在 S204中, M2M平台收到该群组接入请求后,根据该群组标识获取该群 组中各群组成员的群组成员信息, 该群组成员信息包括成员标识、接入方式等 信息。
M2M平台根据群组成员的设备特性、 网络特性和接入特性中的一种或多 种特性, 采用不同的接入方式对群组成员进行接入。 可选地, 对于群组中通过 同一网关与 M2M平台连接的第一群组成员的接入, 当 M2M平台确定该第一 群组成员具有低移动性时, 流程进行到 S206, 当 M2M平台确定该第一群组成 员具有高移动性时, 流程进行到 S216; 对于群组中为本地群组成员的第二群 组成员的接入, 流程进行到 S224, 其中本地群组成员指在所属群组资源的本 地的群组成员; 对于群组中直接与 M2M平台连接的第三群组成员的接入, 流 程进行到 S226。
在 S206中, M2M平台在 M2M网关创建包括所有该第一群组成员的子群 组, 或 M2M平台确定该第一群组成员属于已创建的子群组, 于是 M2M平台 向与该第一群组成员对应的 M2M网关 1发送子群组接入请求, 该子群组接入 请求包括该子群组的子群组标识, 该子群组接入请求用于请求接入该子群组。 可选地, 该子群组接入请求可以是 READ req (MEMBER CONTENT) NAID, subGroupReourcelD, 其中" subGroupReourcelD"表示子群组资源标识。
在 S208中, M2M网关 1收到子群组接入请求后,根据子群组标识获取该 子群组的子群组成员信息,该子群组成员信息包括子群组成员标识,随后 M2M 网关 1分别向子群组的每个子群组成员发送第二接入请求,该第二接入请求用 于请求接入相应的子群组成员 (如 S210所示), 其中以 M2M实体 2表示子群 组成员。 可选地, 该第二接入请求可以是 READ req (MEMBER CONTENT) Member ID,其中" Member ID"表示成员标识。应理解,在图 3中,仅示出 M2M 网关 1向 M2M实体 2发送第二接入请求, 但这仅仅为了示例, 不应构成对本 发明实施例的任何限定。
在 S212中, M2M实体 2向 M2M网关 1发送第三响应, 该第三响应用于 对第二接入请求进行响应,表明子群组中的群组成员对第二接入请求的执行情 况。 可选地 , 该第三响应可以是 READ reps ()data of Member。
在 S214中, Μ2Μ网关 1在收到每个子群组成员分别对第二接入请求的第 三响应之后, 向 Μ2Μ平台发送对每个子群组成员的接入情况进行合并后的第 四响应, 该第四响应用于对子群组接入请求进行响应,表明子群组中各群组成 员对接入请求的执行情况。 可选地, 该第四响应可以是 READ reps () data of subGroup。
其中, M2M网关 1收到各子群组成员反馈的接入情况后, 可以先对各接 入情况进行合并处理, 再将合并后的处理结果通过一个响应(即第四响应)反 馈给 M2M平台。 由此可以避免 M2M网关 1将每个子群组成员的接入情况分 别地单独发送给 M2M平台, 从而可以进一步节省开销, 提高群组通信效率。
在 S216中, 当 M2M平台确定该第一群组成员具有高移动性时, M2M平 台决定对第一群组成员采用 Ad-hoc接入方式, 于是 M2M平台向与该第一群 组成员对应的 M2M网关 2发送 Ad-hoc接入请求, 其中该 Ad-hoc接入请求包 括每个第一群组成员的成员标识。 可选地, 该 Ad-hoc接入请求可以是 READ req (MEMBER CONTENT) NAID, Ad-hoc List, 其中" Ad-hoc List"表示群组中 同一网关下的设备列表。
在 S218中, M2M网关 2收到 Ad-hoc接入请求后, 分别向每个第一群组 成员发送第一接入请求, 该第一接入请求用于请求接入相应的第一群组成员。 可选地,该第一接入请求可以是 READ req (MEMBER CONTENT) Member ID。 图 3中以 M2M网关 2向 M2M实体 3发送第一接入请求为例进行说明, 应理 解, 这仅仅是为了示例, 不应构成对本发明实施例的任何限定。
在 S220中, M2M实体 3向 M2M网关 2发送第一响应, 该第一响应用于 对第一接入请求进行响应,表明第一群组成员对第一接入请求的执行情况。可 选地, 该第一响应可以是 READ reps ()data of Member。
在 S222中, Μ2Μ网关 2在收到每个第一群组成员分别对第一接入请求的 第一响应之后, 向 Μ2Μ平台发送对每个第一群组成员的接入情况进行合并后 的第二响应, 该第二响应用于对 Ad-hoc接入请求进行响应, 表明各第一群组 成员对接入请求的执行情况。 可选地, 该第二响应可以是 READ reps () data of Ad-hoc Listo 类似地, M2M网关 2对各第一群组成员的接入情况进行了合并 处理, 从而可以进一步节省开销, 提高群组通信效率。
应理解, 除了 Ad-hoc接入方式和子群组接入方式之外, M2M平台也可以 采用其它的接入方式对群组成员进行接入,例如对于每一个第一群组成员的接 入, M2M平台都经由 M2M网关单独对每一个群组成员发送一次接入请求。 例如, 对于十个第一群组成员的接入, M2M平台需要向 M2M网关发送十次 接入请求, 每次接入请求针对一个第一群组成员的接入。 此时, M2M网关会 收到每个第一群组成员对接入请求的响应, 该响应用于向 M2M网关报告接入 情况,该 M2M网关可以直接将每一个群组成员返回的响应转发给 M2M平台, 也可以对每一个群组成员返回的响应进行合并处理, 再向 M2M平台返回包括 每个第一群组成员的经合并后的接入情况的第五响应。应理解,该合并处理可 以包括对每一个群组成员返回的响应进行合并处理, 和 /或对每一响应中包括 的接入情况进行合并处理。 因而, 在本发明实施例中, 根据本发明实施的群组 通信的方法还可以包括: 业务功能实体接收来自网关的第五响应, 该第五响应 包括每个第一群组成员的经合并后的接入情况, 由此可以进一步节省开销,提 高群组通信效率。
在 M2M平台获取群组成员信息之后, 对于群组中为本地群组成员的第二群组 成员的接入, M2M平台直接对该第二群组成员进行接入处理,如图 3中的 S224 所示,其中本地群组成员指在所属群组资源的本地的群组成员,即表示在 M2M 平台上存储的群组成员。 可选地, 该接入处理可以包括 READ (MEMBER CONTENT) NAID , Local Member List ,其中 "Local Member List"表示本地成员 列表。
在 M2M平台获取群组成员信息之后, 对应群组中直接与 M2M平台连接 的第三群组成员的接入, M2M平台分别向每个第三群组成员单独发送第三接 入请求, 该第三接入请求用于请求接入相应的第三群组成员, 如图中的 S226 所示。可选的,该第三接入请求可以是 READ req (MEMBER CONTENT) NAID, each Direct-Access Member ID, 其中" each Direct-Access Member ID,,表示每个 直连的成员标识。
在 S228中,M2M平台接收每个第三群组成员对该第三接入请求的第六响 。 可选的, 该
Figure imgf000013_0001
在 S230中, M2M平台对接收到的第二响应、 第四响应、 第五响应、 第六 响应以及对本地群组成员的执行情况中的一种或多种后,对各执行情况进行合 并, 并向 M2M应用发送群组接入响应, 该群组接入响应包括群组中各群组成 员的经合并后的接入情况, 如图 3中的 S232所示。 由于 M2M平台对各群组 成员的接入情况进行了合并处理,从而可以进一步节省开销,提高群组通信效 下面将以群组的部分接入消息为例,对合并处理进行说明。例如业务功能 实体发起部分接入请求, 该请求要接入群组成员的一些子资源或一些属性, 而 并非全部子资源或全部属性。 如果有些群组成员没有所请求的子资源或属性, 那么这些群组成员资源所在的服务能力实体将返回错误说明。具体地,如果该 应用场景是业务功能实体需要定时获取部分资源,那么业务功能实体可以根据 需求再建立一个新的群组或子群组,把原群组中没有子资源或属性的群组成员 删除,或者业务功能实体可以在下次的请求消息中加入群组成员限制, 只请求 接入那些具有子资源或属性的群组成员。
另外, 为了为减少服务能力实体给业务功能实体的响应的开销,服务能力实体 可以先过滤掉错误说明, 只把相关内容返回给业务功能实体; 或者对于具有内 容和没有内容这两种执行情况, 服务能力实体向业务功能实体返回内容和标 识, 该标识表示其它没有返回内容的群组成员都没有相关内容。 此外, 服务能 力实体还可以将相同的执行情况进行合并, 并返回给业务功能实体, 由此能够 进一步地减小开销。
图 4示出了根据本发明再一实施例的方法中创建群组和子群组的方法 300 时序图。其中创建群组的方法可以包括: 接收来自网络应用的请求创建群组的 群组创建请求, 该群组创建请求包括该群组中各群组成员的群组成员信息; 根 据该群组创建请求,创建该群组的群组资源, 该群组资源包括该群组成员信息 和该群组的群组标识; 向该网络应用发送群组创建响应, 该群组创建响应包括 该群组标识。
下面以该创建群组的方法在 M2M中的应用为例进行说明。如图 4所示,在 S302 中, M2M应用向 M2M平台发送 M2M群组创建请求,该群组创建请求可以携 带群组成员信息, 还可以包括群组资源创建位置、 访问权限、 过期时间等参数 信息。 可选的, 该群组创建请求可以是 CREATE req (resource) NAID, [addressedResourcelD] , [newResourcelD] , groupContent, [searchStrings], AccessRightID, [ExpirationTime] , 其 中 "resource" 表 示 资 源 , "addressedResourcelD"表示寻址资源标识, "newResourcelD"表示新资源标识, "groupContent"表示群组内容, "searchStrings"表示查询串, "AccessRightID"表 示接入 4受权标识, "ExpirationTime"表示过期时间。
在 S304中, M2M平台根据 M2M群组创建请求,创建并存储 M2M群组资源, 该群组资源包括该群组成员信息和该群组的群组标识,该群组资源还可以存储 群组成员的接入信息,例如接入方式,用于指示后续的操作如何接入群组成员。
在 S314中, M2M平台向 M2M应用发送群组创建响应, 该群组创建响应 包括该群组标识。
在本发明实施例中,在创建群组的群组资源之后, 业务功能实体根据群组 中各群组成员的设备特性、 网络特性和接入特性中的一种或多种特性, 可以在 服务能力实体创建相应的子群组,该子群组创建过程可以是业务功能实体根据 网络应用的要求进行, 也可以是该业务功能实体主动进行子群组创建; 另外, 该子群组创建过程可以在网络应用发送接入请求之前 ,也可以在网络应用发送 该接入请求之后。
创建子群组的方法可以包括:业务功能实体向与第一群组成员对应的网关 发送请求创建子群组的子群组创建请求,该子群组创建请求包括第一群组成员 的第一群组成员信息; 业务功能实体在该网关创建子群组的子群组资源后,接 收该网关发送的子群组创建响应,该子群组创建响应包括该子群组的子群组标 识, 其中该子群组资源可以包括第一群组成员信息和该子群组的子群组标识。 下面以该子群组创建方法在 M2M中的应用为例进行说明。如图 4所示,在 S306 中, M2M平台向 M2M网关发送子群组创建请求, 该子群组创建请求包括第 一群组成员的第一群组成员信息,还可以包括子群组定义参数信息, 例如子群 组创建位置、 访问权限、 过期时间等。 可选的, 该子群组创建请求可以是 CREATE req (resource) NAID , [addressedGSCResourcelD] , [newResourcelD] , subGroupContent , [searchStrings] , AccessRightID , [ExpirationTime] , 其中 "addressedGSCResourcelD"表示 寻 址 网 关 业 务 能 力 资 源 标识 , "subGroupContent"表示子群组内容。
在 S308中, M2M网关根据该子群组创建请求,在该网关创建子群组的子 群组资源, 其中该子群组资源包括该子群组成员信息和该子群组的子群组标 识。 其中该子群组可以是设备管理群组, 例如 OMA DM标准中定义的网关中 的设备管理群组, 用于实现设备管理的群组功能。 在本发明实施例中, M2M 平台判断是否建立子群组或合并群组消息时, M2M平台可与 OMA服务器交 互,使 OMA服务器通过 DM接口与网关进行通信, 命令网关建立设备管理的 群组。
在 S310中, M2M网关向 M2M平台发送子群组创建响应, 该子群组创建 响应包括该子群组的子群组标识。可选的,该子群组创建响应可以是 CREATE resp (resource) subGroupReourcelD , 其中" subGroupReourcelD"表示子群组资 源。
M2M平台接收到该子群组创建响应后, 可以对群组资源进行更新, 如图 4中的 S312所示。 例如对群组资源中各群组成员的接入方式进行更新, 该接 入方式可以包括直接接入方式、 Ad-hoc接入方式和子群组接入方式。 各群组 成员的包括接入方式的接入信息可以存储在 M2M平台, 在 M2M平台中, 该 接入信息与群组资源定义可以具有两种关联方式, 例如内部关联和外部关联, 其中内部关联指接入信息与群组资源定义在一个列表中,群组资源定义中包括 该群组中的群组成员的接入信息, 外部关联指接入信息形成一个列表,群组成 员可以通过诸如 URI ( Uniform Resource Identifier, 即通用资源标志符 ) 的链 接方式映射到接入信息。
由于本发明实施例的群组通信的方法,对群组中通过同一网关与业务功能 实体连接的第一群组成员创建子群组,从而业务功能实体可以仅向该网关发送 一次接入请求, 该接入请求包括子群组标识,从而根据本发明实施例的方法可 以避免业务功能实体分别向每个群组成员单独发送接入请求,由此能够显著地 减 、群组通信时的信令开销, 提高群组通信的效率。
图 5示出了根据本发明再一实施例的方法中更新群组和子群组的方法 400 的时序图。 如图 5所示, 以 M2M实体 2通过 M2M网关 1连接到 M2M平台 为例进行说明。
在 S402中, M2M实体 2向 M2M网关 1发送连接请求;在 S404中, M2M 网关 1向 M2M实体 2返回连接请求的响应;在 S406中, M2M实体 2向 M2M 平台发送注册请求,该注册请求用于将该 M2M实体 2的设备信息注册到平台, 该设备信息例如可以包括设备标识、 所属网关标识、 路由地址、 物理地址等; 在 S408中, M2M平台向 M2M实体 2返回注册请求的响应, 该响应用于表示 M2M实体 2的注册情况。
在 S410中, M2M平台根据设备信息和已有的群组定义或群组规则,检查 是否需要将新设备加入已存在的群组。如果新加入的设备属于存在的群组, 那 么 M2M平台还可以根据群组和子群组建立规则, 建立一个新群组或子群组。 例如 S412所示, M2M平台向 M2M网关 2发送更新子群组资源的请求。 在 S414中, M2M网关 2对该网关上的子群组资源进行更新; 在 S416中, M2M 网关 2向 M2M平台发送对更新子群组资源请求的响应; 在 S418中, M2M平 台对群组中各群组成员的接入方式进行更新。 在本发明实施例中,对子群组资源进行更新还包括: 在第一群组成员的数 量发生变化时, 例如第一群组成员的数量增加或减小, 业务功能实体向网关发 送对子群组资源进行更新的更新请求; 在第一群组成员的数量不大于 1时, 业 务功能实体向该网关发送对该子群组资源进行删除的删除请求。在本发明实施 例中, 在网关创建、 更新或删除子群组之后, 业务功能实体对群组资源中的相 应群组成员信息的接入类型进行更新。
本发明实施例的群组通信的方法,通过业务功能实体确定群组中通过同一 网关与业务功能实体连接的第一群组成员, 并向该网关发送一次接入请求, 可 以避免业务功能实体分别向每个群组成员单独发送接入请求,从而能够显著地 减小群组通信时的信令开销, 提高群组通信的效率。
图 6示出了根据本发明再一实施例的群组通信的方法 500的流程图。如图 6所示, 该方法 500包括:
在 S510中, 网关接收来自业务功能实体的请求接入第一群组成员的第一 群组成员接入请求,该第一群组成员为该群组中通过同一网关与该业务功能实 体连接的群组成员。
业务功能实体可以根据该第一群组成员的群组成员特性和网络特性中的 一种或多种, 确定该第一群组成员接入请求采用 Ad-hoc接入方式还是子群组 方式。
