Description

Method for business control, network device, content server and system

The embodiments of the present invention relate to the field of communications, and in particular, to a service control method, a network device, a content server (CP Server, Content Provider Server), and a service control system.

Background technique

Quality of Service (QoS) is a parameter that reflects the level of service that users enjoy. For network services, the quality of service parameters include the bandwidth of the transmission, the delay of transmission, and the packet loss rate of the data. In the network, the quality of service can be improved by ensuring the bandwidth of transmission, reducing the delay of transmission, reducing the packet loss rate of data, and delay jitter.

The quality of service parameters can usually be divided into two parts: the contracted service quality parameter and the available quality of service parameters; the contracted service quality parameter is the quality of service that the user expects to enjoy; the available quality of service parameter is the QoS overlay network status and equipment capacity that the user desires to enjoy. After the factors such as the number of users, the quality of service that the user finally enjoys. The subscription service quality parameter specifically includes the user subscription service quality parameter and the service contract service quality parameter; the available service quality parameter specifically includes the user available service quality parameter and the service available service quality. The contracted service quality parameter is usually stored in a dedicated user information/authentication device, such as a home location register (HLR, Home Location Register), authentication and authorization charging node.

Static information in (AAA, Authentication Authorization Accounting), Policy and Charging Rules Function (PCRF, Policy and Charging Rules Function), which does not change frequently in a short time. The available quality of service parameters usually refer to network access, transmission/policy equipment, such as Radio Network Controller (RNC), Serving GPRS Support Node (SGSN), Gateway GPRS Support Node (GGSN, Gateway GPRS). Support Node), Broadband Remote Access Server (BRAS, Broadband Remote Access Server) Dynamic information acquired and saved in real time. These dynamic information may change at any time according to factors such as network and users.

In the prior art, when a user initiates a service, a network access/transmission device, such as an RN SGSN,

GGSN, BRAS, etc., when applying to the dedicated user information/authentication device, such as HLR, AAA, PCRF, etc., when applying for the quality of service parameters, or after applying for the quality of service parameters, when the network status changes, The quality of the contracted service quality tries to guarantee the quality of the user's service, and also feeds back the real-time status of the network and the user to the control node of the network, such as the dynamic policy node (PCRF in the network). Policy and Charging Rules Function ). In this way, the dynamic policy node in the network can adjust and deliver the available quality of service parameters according to the original subscription service quality parameter and the dynamic network state. In this scenario, the network access/transmitting device interacts with the dynamic policy node device during the guarantee process, and the service quality parameter and the network state can be adapted.

The inventor of the present invention has found that, through the interaction between the network access/transmission device and the dynamic policy node device, although the service quality parameter can be adapted to the network state to some extent, the content server (CP Server) that provides the service cannot. The network service quality parameter is perceived, and therefore the correspondence between the information actually acquired by the user and the quality of service parameter cannot be achieved.

detailed description

The embodiment of the present invention provides a service control method, where the network device can transmit the service quality parameter to the content server, so that the content server controls the service when the network side service quality parameter is known, and implements the service information and service actually acquired by the user. Correspondence of quality parameters. Embodiments of the present invention also provide corresponding network devices and content servers. The details are described below separately.

Referring to FIG. 1 , from a network side, an embodiment of a method for service control provided by an embodiment of the present invention includes:

101. Obtain a service quality parameter.

The service quality parameter may be divided into a contracted service quality parameter and an available service quality parameter, and the network device has different quality of service parameters obtained at different times. The network device mentioned in the embodiment of the present invention refers to the mobile 2G/3G network. Gateway GPRS Support Node (GGSN, Gateway GPRS Support Node), refers to the Broadband Remote Access Server (BRAS) in the fixed network, and the Unified Packet Gateway (U-GW, Unite Gateway) in the 4G network. And the packet data network gateway (P-GW, Packet Gateway), of course, is not limited to the network device, and may be a network device with user data packet forwarding and control.

After the network device receives the activation request, the quality of service parameter obtained from the home location register (HLR, Home Location Register) is the subscription service quality parameter; the subscription service quality parameter can be further divided into the user subscription service quality parameter and the service subscription service quality. For example, the bandwidth of the user is 2M, the quality of the service subscription service is 1M, and the quality of the video service subscription is 1M. Of course, the embodiment of the present invention is not limited to obtaining the subscription service quality parameter directly from the HLR, and may also obtain the subscription service quality parameter from the HLR indirectly through other devices such as a Serving GPRS Support Node (SGSN), and the subscription service quality parameter includes the At least one of a service subscription service quality parameter of the service and a user subscription service quality parameter of the user requesting the service, and the user subscription service quality parameter and the service subscription service quality parameter may be simultaneously Get, you can also get it separately.

After the activation is successful, when the network side requests a service or receives the service data of the service, the network side may obtain a service policy of the service, where the service policy includes an available service quality parameter, and the available service quality parameter includes the At least one of a service available quality parameter of the service and a user-usable quality of service parameter of the user requesting the service may be obtained simultaneously for the service available service quality parameter and the user available service quality parameter, or may be separately obtained.

The network device can also obtain the subscription service quality parameter from the subscription information, and obtain the available service quality parameter from the service policy.

102. Send the obtained quality of service parameters to the content server.

The network device sends the obtained quality of service parameter to the content server, so that the content server controls the service data transmission according to the corresponding service quality parameter. After obtaining the subscription service quality parameter and the available service quality parameter respectively, the network device may separately send the subscription service quality parameter and the available service quality parameter to the content server, or may send the subscription service quality parameter and the available service quality parameter to the content server at one time. The content server is not limited by the embodiment of the present invention.

And receiving the service data, where the service data is matched with the quality of service parameter; or receiving the indication information, where the indication information is used to indicate that the service data does not match the quality parameter.

In an embodiment, the service data is matched with the QoS parameter, and may be: when the subscription service quality parameter includes at least one of a service subscription quality parameter of the service and a user subscription quality parameter of a user requesting the service. At one time, the subscription service quality parameter satisfies the requirement of the service quality required by the service corresponding to the service data. For example, the quality of service parameter is bandwidth. When the subscription bandwidth is greater than or equal to the bandwidth required by the service, the subscription bandwidth meets the service quality requirement of the service. For example, if the bandwidth required for the service is 1M, the service subscription bandwidth is 2M, and the user subscription bandwidth is 4M, the service data matches the bandwidth. When the QoS parameter is the delay or the packet loss rate, when the delay or packet loss rate of the subscription is less than or equal to the delay or packet loss rate required by the service, the delay or the rate of loss of the subscription meets the service. The quality of service is required.

In another embodiment, the service data is matched with the QoS parameter, where: the subscription QoS parameter includes a service subscription quality parameter of the service and a user subscription service quality parameter of a user requesting the service, The service subscription service quality parameter does not meet the requirement of the service quality required by the service, but the user subscription service quality parameter satisfies the service quality required by the service. Claim. For example, when the QoS parameter is the bandwidth, the service quality required by the service corresponding to the service data requires less than or equal to the user subscription bandwidth, and when the service subscription bandwidth is greater than the service subscription bandwidth, the service data and the QoS parameter reach the matching condition. For example, if the bandwidth required for the service is 2M, the service subscription bandwidth is 1M, and the user subscription bandwidth is 4M, the service data matches the service quality parameter. When the QoS parameter is the delay or the packet loss rate, the delay or packet loss rate of the service quality required by the service corresponding to the service data is greater than the delay or packet loss rate of the user subscription, which is less than the delay or loss of the service subscription. At the packet rate, the business data and quality of service parameters are matched. Further, when the user requests a plurality of services including the service, the subscription service quality parameter of each of the multiple services cannot meet the service quality requirement of the service itself, when the service is in the When the highest priority is used in multiple services, the service data can be sent to the service with the highest priority. At this time, the service quality parameter of the service does not meet the service quality requirement of the service, but the user subscribes. The quality of service parameters meet the requirements of the service quality required by the business. For example, when the QoS parameter is the bandwidth, the bandwidth required by each service is greater than the bandwidth available for the service. In this case, the content server can send the service data to the service with the highest priority. The bandwidth corresponding to the service data is greater than the service subscription bandwidth. However, it is smaller than the user's subscription bandwidth. This situation can also be a case where the service data matches the quality of service parameters. For example, if the user requests the Internet and the video service at the same time, the bandwidth required for the Internet service is 3M, the bandwidth required for the video service is 3M, the bandwidth for the Internet service subscription is 2M, the bandwidth for the video service subscription is 2M, and the bandwidth for the user subscription is 4M. The priority of the Internet service is higher than that of the video service. In this case, 3M can be allocated for the Internet service. For the Internet service, the bandwidth required for the service data of the service is smaller than the user subscription bandwidth, greater than the service available bandwidth, and the service data. The quality of service parameters match.

In another embodiment, the service data is matched with the QoS parameter, and the available quality of service parameter includes at least one of a service available quality of service parameter of the service and a user available quality of service parameter of a user requesting the service. At one time, the available quality of service parameter satisfies the requirement of the service quality required by the service corresponding to the service data. For example, when the QoS parameter is bandwidth, when the available bandwidth is greater than or equal to the bandwidth required by the service, the available bandwidth meets the service quality requirements of the service, and the service data and the QoS parameters reach the matching condition. For example, if the bandwidth required for the service is 1M, the available bandwidth of the service is 2M, and the available bandwidth of the user is 4M, the service data matches the quality of service parameters. When the QoS parameter is the delay or the packet loss rate, when the available delay or packet loss rate is less than or equal to the delay or packet loss rate required by the service quality requirement, the delay or packet loss rate can be used to meet the service requirements. The quality of service requirements, business data and service quality have reached the matching conditions.

In another embodiment, the service data is matched with the QoS parameter, and may be: when the available QoS parameter includes the service available QoS parameter and the user available QoS parameter, the service available QoS parameter is not The requirement for satisfying the quality of service required by the service, the user service quality parameter meeting the requirement of the service quality required by the service. For example, when the QoS parameter is the bandwidth, the service required quality parameter corresponding to the service data requires less than or equal to the available bandwidth of the user, and greater than the available bandwidth of the service, the service data and the QoS parameter meet the matching condition; When the parameter is the delay or the packet loss rate, the service quality required by the service corresponding to the service data requires the delay or the packet loss rate to be greater than the delay or packet loss rate available to the user, which is less than the delay or packet loss rate available to the service. The business data and service quality parameters have reached the matching conditions. Further, when the user requests multiple services including the service, the available quality of service parameters of each of the multiple services cannot meet the requirements of the service quality required by the service itself, when the service is in the When the highest priority is used in multiple services, the service data can be sent to the service with the highest priority. At this time, the available quality of service parameters of the service do not meet the service quality requirements of the service, but the user is available. The quality of service parameters meet the requirements of the service quality required by the business. For example, when the QoS parameter is the bandwidth, the bandwidth required by each service is greater than the available bandwidth of the service. In this case, the content server can send service data to the service with the highest priority. The bandwidth corresponding to the service data is greater than the available bandwidth of the service. However, it is smaller than the available bandwidth of the user. This case can also be a case where the service data matches the quality of service parameter. For example, if the user requests the Internet and the video service at the same time, the bandwidth required for the Internet service is 3M, the bandwidth required for the video service is 3M, the bandwidth available for the Internet service is 2M, the bandwidth available for the video service is 2M, and the available bandwidth for the user is 4M. The priority of the Internet service is higher than that of the video service. In this case, 3M can be allocated for the Internet service. For the Internet service, the service data of the service is smaller than the available bandwidth, greater than the available bandwidth of the service, and the service data and service quality parameters. match.

In another embodiment, the service data is matched with the QoS parameter, and may be: the available QoS parameter satisfies the requirement of the service quality required by the service corresponding to the service data, and the subscription service quality parameter does not meet the requirement of the service quality parameter required by the service. For example, when the quality of service parameter is bandwidth, the available bandwidth meets the requirements of the service quality required by the service, but when the subscription bandwidth does not meet the requirements of the service quality parameter required by the service, the service data matches the service quality parameter. For example, the service available bandwidth or the user available bandwidth is 5M, the service subscription bandwidth or the user subscription bandwidth is only 1M, but the service quality required by the service is When the bandwidth is 3M, although the bandwidth required by the service is greater than the subscription bandwidth, but the available bandwidth is greater than the required bandwidth, the content server can still send the service data.

The service data indicated by the indication information in step 103 does not match the service quality parameter, and may include: the available service quality parameter does not meet the requirement of the service quality required by the service corresponding to the service data, or the subscription service quality parameter does not satisfy the corresponding service data. The quality of service required for the business. For example, when the available service quality parameter does not meet the service quality requirement of the service corresponding to the service data, the specific content of the indication information may be that the subscription level cannot support the service, and the user is prompted to increase the subscription level. When the subscription quality parameter does not meet the service quality requirement of the service corresponding to the service data, the specific content of the indication information may be unable to support the requested service.

With the service control method provided by the embodiment of the present invention, the network device can transmit the service quality parameter to the content server, so that the content server controls the service when the network service quality parameter is known, so that the information actually acquired by the user corresponds to the service quality parameter. , improved user experience.

Referring to FIG. 2, from the perspective of the content server, another embodiment of the service control method provided by the embodiment of the present invention includes:

201. Receive a quality of service parameter.

The content server receives and stores the quality of service parameter sent by the network side, where the quality of service parameter includes a subscription service quality parameter and an available service quality parameter, and the subscription service quality parameter includes a user subscription service quality parameter and a service subscription service quality parameter, and the available service quality parameter includes The user can use the quality of service parameters and the service available quality of service parameters.

202. Send the service data when the service data can match the quality of service parameter. For the case where the service data can be matched with the QoS parameter, refer to the foregoing, and no further details are provided here.

When the content server receives multiple QoS parameters, it is not limited in the embodiment of the present invention to send the service data based on which service quality parameter. For example, the available bandwidth of the service is 2M, and the available bandwidth of the user is 4M. When the bandwidth required by the service is 1.5M, the content server can send the service with any bandwidth in the range of 1.5~4M. If the bandwidth required by the service is 2.5M. The content server can send the service with any bandwidth in the range of 2.5~4M.

For the content server to send data according to the contracted service quality parameter, or to send data according to the available service quality parameter, the embodiment of the present invention is not limited. For example, you can receive the most recently received service Quality parameters are sent as a basis to ensure better alignment of business data and quality of service parameters. When a user requests multiple services at the same time, the priority of multiple services can be compared first, and the priority order of multiple services can be determined. When the available service quality parameters cannot meet the requirements of multiple service quality, priority can be given to high priority. The level of service needs to match the service data of the high priority service with the received quality of service parameters. For example, when the video service and the Internet service are requested at the same time, the bandwidth required for the video service is 1.5M, the bandwidth required for the Internet service is 1.5M, and the bandwidth of the user-signed service quality parameter stored in the content server is 2M. In the quality of the subscription service, the bandwidth of the Internet service is 1M, and the bandwidth of the video service is 1M. The content server determines which service of the Internet service and the video service has a higher priority, and satisfies the request of the higher priority service, that is, when accessing the Internet. When the priority of the video service is higher than that of the video service, the content server sends service data to the Internet service to limit the video service request. After the content requested by the Internet service is sent, the content of the video service is sent.

203. When the service data cannot match the quality of service parameter, send a prompt that cannot match the quality of service parameter.

For the case where the service data can be matched with the QoS parameter, refer to the foregoing, and no further details are provided here.

With the service control method provided by the embodiment of the present invention, the network device may pass the service quality parameter to the content server, so that the content server controls the service when the network service quality is known, so that the information acquired by the user corresponds to the service quality parameter. Improved user experience.

For the sake of understanding, the service control method provided by the embodiment of the present invention is described in detail below by taking a specific application scenario as an example:

Referring to FIG. 3, the flowchart details the process of controlling the service between the network device and the content server, and the details are as follows:

301. The radio network controller initiates an activation request to the serving GPRS support node.

302. After receiving the activation request sent by the radio network controller, the service support node initiates an activation request to the gateway GPRS support node.

303. The gateway GPRS support node applies for the subscription service quality parameter to the home location register. The subscription service quality parameter may include a service subscription service quality parameter and a user subscription service quality parameter, and the user subscription service quality parameter may be greater than or equal to the service subscription service quality parameter. For example, clothing The service quality parameter is bandwidth, the user subscription bandwidth is 4M, the bandwidth for online service subscription is 2M, and the bandwidth for video service subscription is 2M.

304. The home location register sends the subscription service quality parameter to the gateway GPRS support node.

305. The gateway GPRS support node and the service support node negotiate according to the contracted service quality parameter.

306. The service support node and the radio network controller negotiate according to the contracted service quality parameter.

307. The gateway GPRS support node sends the subscription service quality parameter to the content server.

The gateway can simultaneously send the service subscription service quality parameter and the user subscription service quality parameter to the content server at one time, and can only send one to the content server at a time.

308. The gateway GPRS support node sends an activation response to the service support node.

309. The service support node sends an activation response to the radio network controller.

310. The radio network controller initiates a service request to the serving GPRS support node.

311. The service GPRS support node initiates a service request to the gateway after receiving the service request sent by the radio network controller.

312. The gateway GPRS support node initiates a service request to the content server.

313. The content server sends a service response to the gateway GPRS support node.

The content server determines whether the service data requested by the user can match the subscription service quality parameter received in step 307. When the service data can match the subscription service quality parameter, the service data is sent as a service response to the gateway. When the service data cannot match the subscription bandwidth, a prompt that cannot match the quality of service parameter is sent as a service response to the gateway.

For example, taking the service quality parameter as the bandwidth as an example, the service data can match the subscription bandwidth, which may include:

The required bandwidth of the service corresponding to the service data is less than or equal to the service subscription bandwidth;

The bandwidth required for the service corresponding to the service data is less than or equal to the subscription bandwidth of the user, and the subscription bandwidth of the user is greater than or equal to the service subscription bandwidth.

The service required bandwidth corresponding to the service data is greater than the service subscription bandwidth, but is less than or equal to the user subscription bandwidth. For example, when the user requests a plurality of services including the service, a service required bandwidth of each of the multiple services is greater than a service subscription bandwidth of the service, when the service is in the multiple services. When the highest priority is reached, the user subscription bandwidth can satisfy the industry. The required bandwidth for the service.

The case where the service data cannot match the contracted bandwidth may include:

The required bandwidth of the service data is greater than the service subscription bandwidth, or the bandwidth required for the service data is greater than the user subscription bandwidth. At this time, the indication information may be sent, indicating that the content of the information indicates that the subscription bandwidth is too low, and the service cannot be supported, thereby indicating that the service data does not match the quality of service parameter.

314. The gateway GPRS support node sends a service response to the service support node.

315. The service GPRS support node sends a service response to the radio network controller.

316. The radio network controller initiates a service request to the serving GPRS support node.

317. The service GPRS support node initiates a service request to the gateway after receiving the service request sent by the radio network controller.

318. The gateway GPRS support node applies for a service policy to the policy and charging node.

319. The policy and charging node sends the available service quality parameter to the gateway GPRS support node by sending a service policy.

For example, the available bandwidth includes the available bandwidth of the service and the available bandwidth of the user, and the available bandwidth of the user is greater than the bandwidth available for the service.

320. The gateway GPRS support node sends the available quality of service parameters to the content server.

The gateway GPRS support node can simultaneously send the service available bandwidth and the user available bandwidth to the content server, or can only send one at a time.

321. The gateway GPRS support node initiates a service request to the content server.

322. The content server sends a service response to the gateway GPRS support node.

The content server determines whether the service data requested by the user can match the available quality of service parameters received in step 320, and when the service data can match the available quality of service parameters, sending the service data to the gateway, when the service data Not being able to match the available quality of service parameters, sending a prompt that cannot match the quality of service parameter;

In step 322, the content server may also determine whether the service data requested by the user can match the contracted service quality parameter and the available service quality parameter according to the contracted service quality parameter in step 307 and the available quality of service parameter in step 320. For example, when the service quality required for the service corresponding to the service data is greater than the subscription service quality parameter and less than or equal to the available service quality parameter, the service data requested by the user can be considered to match the received service quality parameter. For example, when the quality parameter is bandwidth The bandwidth required for the service quality required by the service data is 3M, but the subscription bandwidth is 2M (service subscription bandwidth or user subscription bandwidth), and the available bandwidth is 5M (service available bandwidth or user available bandwidth). If the service data is considered If the bandwidth of the subscription and the available bandwidth are matched, the service data of the 3M bandwidth can be sent as the service response. If the bandwidth required for the service data exceeds the subscription bandwidth, the prompt information can be sent as the service response. The specific content of the prompt information is the prompting user. The subscription bandwidth is too low to support the service, indicating that the service data does not match the quality of service parameters.

323. The gateway GPRS support node sends a service response to the serving GPRS support node.

324. The service GPRS support node sends a service response to the radio network controller.

325. After the network status changes, the gateway GPRS support node applies the service policy to the policy and charging node.

326. The policy and charging node sends the available quality of service parameters after the network state change to the gateway GPRS support node.

327. The gateway GPRS support node sends the available quality of service parameters after the network status is changed to the content server.

329. The service GPRS support node sends a service request to the gateway GPRS support node.

330. The gateway GPRS support node sends a service request to the content server.

331. The content server sends a service response to the gateway GPRS support node.

The content server determines whether the service data requested by the user can match the available quality of service parameters received in step 327, and when the service data can match the available quality of service parameters, sending the service data to the gateway, when the service data When it is not possible to match the available quality of service parameters, a prompt is sent that cannot match the available quality of service parameters.

The content server may also determine whether the service data can match the contracted service quality parameter and the available service quality parameter according to the contracted service quality parameter received in step 307 and the available quality of service parameter received in step 327, and send a service response according to the judgment result.
