一种用户带宽通知方法
技术领域
本发明涉及通信领域, 具体涉及一种用户带宽通知方法。 背景技术
各种通信网络现在已经成为人们生活中不可或缺的一部分, 网络运营商 根据不同用户的需要, 为用户定制了各种不同的网络套餐产品, 但是, 随着 各种网络应用的丰富和发展, 业务对带宽的要求也越来越高, 同时不同业务 对网络带宽的要求也不平衡, 例如, 相对于文字聊天的网络应用, 视频类业 务, 特别是高清视频业务对网络带宽的要求就要高很多。
现有技术基本是通过终端来检测用户的网速, 在用户网速不够时, 提醒 用户緩存等待来解决问题。 例如 ppstream软件, 在用户带宽较小时, 会提示 用户 "当前网络不给力, 请緩冲等待"。
有部分运营商通过 ( PCC Policy and charging control, 策略与计费控制架 构)来改善用户体验。 其方案的核心是用户自己判断当前的网络带宽体验, 在体验不好时, 用户自己主动向运营商订购带宽, 网络侧 PCEF ( Policy and Charging Enforcement Function , 策略与计费策略执行 ) 实体根据用户订购执 行带宽调整, 提升用户体验。
上述方案或者仅仅为客户端软件的自身行为, 或者是用户根据自己的主 观感受釆取的举动, 网络侧都无法及时感知用户实际的带宽使用体验。 发明内容

下面将结合本发明实施例中的附图,对本发明实施例中的技术方案进行 清楚、 完整地描述, 显然, 所描述的实施例仅仅是本发明一部分实施例, 而 不是全部的实施例。 基于本发明中的实施例, 本领域普通技术人员在没有作 出创造性劳动前提下所获得的所有其他实施例 , 都属于本发明保护的范围。
参考附图 1 , 为本发明实施例提供的一种带宽通知方法的流程图, 包括 下列步骤:
步骤 101 :网络侧检测用户可用带宽和用户当前使用的业务的带宽要求; 网络侧检测用户可用带宽的方法, 可以使用静态的方法和动态的方法: 对于静态的方法, 可以包括获取用户订购的套餐的最大带宽, 例如, 通 过运营商的客户订购记录, 获取用户订购的月套餐为 30元, 包流量 200M, 1M带宽,则可以确认用户的当前最大可能带宽为 1M, 即网络侧检测用户可 用的最大带宽为 1M; 网络侧也可以动态实时的检测用户当前可用带宽, 具体可以包括: 通过 部署在用户客户端的软件, 在需要检测用户当前可用带宽时, 向该用户端软 件发送检测命令, 要求用户客户端软件上报用户当前带宽情况信息, 或者用 户客户端软件定期, 或者以事件触发的机制进行当前可用带宽信息上报; 进 一步的, 可以检测当前运行的各项业务分别占用的业务带宽, 或者当前运行 的各项业务占用的总的业务带宽的百分比等。
网络侧还需要获取用户当前使用的业务的带宽要求。 一般来说, 网络侧 获取的是用户当前使用的业务源的最低带宽要求;
对于如何识别业务源的带宽要求, 可以釆用动态识别的方法, 即数据网 络 PCEF 实体根据业务源下发的媒体信息, 如 SDP ( Session Description Protocol, 会话描述协议) 中的比特率, 来判断业务的带宽要求;
另外, 网络侧也可以直接读取系统中配置的各业务的带宽要求, 如网络 侧可以通过计费系统检查用户当前使用业务的注册信息,得到所述用户当前 使用业务的带宽要求。 例如在 BSS ( Billing Support System, 计费支持系统) 中发布优酷业务时, 标注了的优酷网站视频业务的最低带宽要求。
除了获取最低带宽要求以外,也可以是获取用户当前使用业务的最大带 宽要求; 另外, 还可以同时根据业务源下发的媒体描述信息, 以及读取系统 中配置的各业务的带宽要求, 来确定实际釆用的当前业务的带宽要求, 以用 于和用户当前网络带宽进行比较; 还可以优先根据业务源下发的 SDP信息, 确定当前业务的带宽要求, 如果无法通过 SDP信息获取, 再进一步通过读 取系统中的配置信息获取, 本发明实施例在此不作限定。
由于用户可能同时运行了两个或者以上需要占用网络带宽的业务, 因此 网络侧可以获得多个正在运行的占用网络带宽的业务的带宽要求。 步骤 102: 网络侧比较所述用户可用带宽和所述用户当前使用的业务的 带宽要求;
根据前述获取的用户可用带宽和用户当前使用的业务的带宽要求, 网络 侧将上述两者进行比较。 一般来说, 会进行相对当前用户使用的业务来说, 用户当前可用带宽是否足够的判断。 具体的, 网络侧进行的带宽不足判断, 可以是比较用户当前的可用带宽 和当前使用的业务的最低带宽要求; 当用户的当前带宽小于业务源的最低带 宽要求, 则认为用户可用带宽不足。
基于不同的目的, 网络侧也可以比较用户当前的可用带宽和当前使用的 业务的最大带宽要求 (亦即, 能使得业务效果得到充分实现的带宽要求); 或者, 网络侧也可以进行带宽冗余的判断, 即比较用户当前可用带宽和当前 使用的业务的带宽要求,如果当前可用带宽显著大于当前使用的业务带宽要 求, 或者显著大于用户历史上(检测前一段时间)使用过的所有业务的带宽 要求, 则认为用户可用带宽过大, 或者说带宽冗余;
在客户端上, 可能存在两个或者以上占用网络带宽的业务同时运行的情 况, 网络侧可以一并获得所有业务的网络带宽要求, 然后进行汇总 (求和, 或者按照某种算法计算得到一个汇总值),再用来和用户可用带宽进行比较; 也可以只将部分业务的带宽要求汇总, 再用来和用户可用带宽进行比较; 当 然, 也可以只将带宽要求最高的单个业务, 用来和用户可用带宽进行比较。 具体比较方式, 本发明实施例不作限定。
由于运营商或者客户端基于某些策略, 可能对某一类业务或者某一个业 务只固定分配一定比例的网络带宽, 或者限制某一个或者一类业务占用带宽 的最大值或者比例, 因此, 用来和当前业务带宽要求进行比较的用户可用带 宽,可以是用户的部分当前可用的总带宽,例如是用户总带宽的一个百分比。 因此, 本发明实施例中, 用来和用户当前使用的业务的带宽要求进行比较的 用户可用带宽, 并不限定于用户的当前总带宽, 而具体可以为当前业务可用 带宽, 用户总带宽的固定比例值, 或者当前业务分配得到的带宽。 步骤 103: 网络侧根据所述比较结果, 通知所述用户带宽状况。
根据前述步骤 102中的比较结果, 网络侧如果判断确认用户可用带宽不 足, 则对用户进行带宽状况通知。 当然, 也可以对用户可用带宽冗余或者其 他情况进行通知, 具体的通知方式包括但不限于: SMS (短信), MMS (彩 信), E-mail, ODP ( On Device Portal, 终端门户)客户端实时提醒等, 本实 施例在此不作限定。 本发明实施例的方法, 实现了从网络侧监控用户当前业务的带宽满足情 况并通知用户,从而使网络侧能够及时感知用户实际使用各种业务时候的带 宽使用体验, 并通知用户。 很多时候, 当用户使用某些业务时, 是由于网络 带宽问题造成的体验不佳, 因此, 通过本发明实施例的方法, 可以让用户明 确的了解当前业务体验不佳是由于用户带宽状况(如使用的套餐情况)和当 前业务带宽需求不匹配导致的, 从而可以釆取适当的措施应对和解决。
进一步的, 网络侧在通知用户带宽状况时候, 可以在通知信息中携带带 宽产品推荐信息, 试用信息, 或升级信息, 从而使得用户进一步了解如何解 决目前带宽不足的问题。 结合前述本发明实施例提供的用户带宽通知方法, 本发明实施例进一步 提供了一种 QoE (Quality of Experience, 用户体验质量)检测方法。
QoE是一个和 QoS ( Quality of service,服务质量 )相关的概念。 ITU-T Rec E.800最初定义 QoS为 "决定用户满意程度的服务性能的综合效果", 包 含多个层面较为广泛的内容。目前业界将 QoS狭义地理解为底层分组数据传 输的性能指标, 如时延、 抖动、 带宽、 误码等, 每个性能指标又定义了单独 的 KPI ( key performance index,主要性能指标)来衡量。但 QoS不等于 QoE, 网络中常见 QoS的 KPI很好, 但用户体验不好的情况, 因为 QoE是从终端 用户的角度来衡量的, 是一个端到端的概念。
移动宽带飞速发展, 但移动运营商对移动宽带用户的真实体验质量
( QoE ) 的感知和提升却存在很大的不足; 在用户上网速度慢, 无法获得很 好的体验时,如何确定用户的 QoE,是运营商在技术上需要解决的一个问题。
参考附图 2 , 为本发明方法实施例一种 QoE检测方法流程图, 所述方法 包括步骤:
步骤 201 :网络侧检测用户可用带宽和用户当前使用的业务的带宽要求; 步骤 202: 网络侧比较所述用户可用带宽和所述用户当前使用的业务的 带宽要求;
上述步骤 201和步骤 202和前述步骤 101和步骤 102类似, 具体细节和 实施方式可以参考前述步骤 101-102中的相关说明。 步骤 203: 网络侧根据所述比较结果, 确定所述用户网络的 QoE值; 比较用户的当前可用带宽和当前使用的业务源的带宽需求后; 当用户的 当前可用带宽小于业务源的带宽需求时, 则认为用户可能 QoE较差, 反之, 则认为用户 QoE满足要求。
进一步的, 由于 QoE是一个和用户实际体验密切关联的指标, 单纯的 检测结果和用户的实际体验可能还是会存在一定的偏差, 因此, 在确定 QoE 情况的时候, 还可以引入用户通知以及用户反馈的步骤, 具体包括:
步骤 204: 网络侧通知用户 QoE情况, 并收集用户对 QoE情况的反馈 信息;
通知用户 QoE情况并收集用户对 QoE情况的反馈,使得对用户 QoE检 测形成闭环, 从而实现对 QoE的精确检测。
具体的, 网络侧可以:
在 QoE较差时, 给用户通知 "网络带宽不足以支持当前业务需求, 请 点击按钮确认是否属实", 然后, 通过用户点击是或者否的按钮, 收集用户 对 QoE情况的反馈。
当 QoE较好时候, 则可以不需要对用户进行通知和要求用户反馈, 以 避免对用户造成不必要的干扰。
与前述实施例类似, 进一步的, 网络侧在通知用户 QoE状况时, 或者 进一步要求用户确认 QoE状况, 特别是在要求用户确认 QoE较差时, 还可 以在通知信息中包含更高带宽产品推荐, 试用或者升级等信息, 从而使得用 户进一步了解如何解决目前 QoE较差的问题, 提升用户体验。
参考附图 3 , 为本发明实施例提供的一种用户带宽调整方法流程图, 所 述方法包括:
步骤 301:网络侧检测用户可用带宽和用户当前使用的业务的带宽要求; 步骤 302: 网络侧比较所述用户可用带宽和所述用户当前使用的业务的 带宽要求;
上述步骤 301和步骤 302, 和前述步骤 101和步骤 102类似, 具体细节 和实施方式可以参考前述步骤 101-102中的相关说明。
步骤 303: 网络侧根据所述比较结果, 判断当前带宽是否足够; 步骤 304: 若判断带宽不足, 通知所述用户带宽状况, 向用户确认是否 升级带宽; 如果用户需要提升带宽, 可以选择产品订购或者产品试用等处理 方式, 如果用户不需要提升带宽, 则直接进入业务使用步骤 309;
本发明实施例中,通知用户带宽状况的通知信息中包含可以让用户直接 触发带宽升级, 带宽订购或者带宽试用的触发方式; 例如,可以是带宽订购, 即产品升级, 或者试用的超链接; 用户点击所述超链接以后, 直接进入运营 商的带宽订购, 升级, 或者试用页面, 甚至也可以直接进行带宽订购, 升级 或者试用, 不需要通过其它的渠道进行的操作;
网络侧还可以根据用户信息, 选择合适的推荐套餐产品: 例如根据用户 所在地域, 经常访问的业务类型, 用户的年龄, 职业等信息, 给用户推荐合 适的套餐产品。
步骤 305: 用户需要提升带宽, 选择了进行产品试用, 网络侧为用户临 时提升带宽;
步骤 306: 在用户试用期过了以后, 再向用户确认是否订购正式产品, 如果用户确认正式订购, 则进入步骤 307 , 进行带宽调整; 如果不进行正式 订购, 则进入步骤 308, 恢复用户原有带宽;
步骤 307: 对于用户直接订购带宽产品和试用期过后, 用户订购正式产 品的情形, 为用户进行带宽调整, 升级用户带宽;
步骤 308: 对于用户试用期过了以后, 如果不再进行正式订购, 则恢复 用户原有带宽;
步骤 309: 经过一系列判断和处理流程后, 用户继续进行业务使用。 本发明实施例的方案, 对于用户选择产品订购的情况, 可以直接通过网 络侧的 PCRF, PCEF以及计费系统, 完成对用户带宽的调整, 该调整可以是 实时的, 也可以根据一定的策略进行延时调整。
当用户选择产品试用时, 可以对用户当前带宽进行临时提升, 给予用户 对提升后的带宽一定的试用期限, 试用期过了以后, 通知用户是否需要订购 正式的升级产品(带宽), 然后在根据用户的选择进行下一步的处理, 例如, 当用户选择订购正式产品时,则执行带宽调整,当用户选择不订购试用产品, 则恢复用户之前的带宽。 另外, 网络侧若判断带宽足够支持当前业务, 则不需要对用户进行带宽 调整通知。
通过本发明实施例的方法,使网络侧能够及时感知用户实际使用各种业 务时候的带宽使用体验, 并给予用户提示, 可以让用户了解当前网络带宽状 况,明确的了解当前网络带宽产品情况和使用的业务的对比关系;进一步的, 本发明实施例,通过在通知消息中携带产品推荐信息和 /或触发用户直接升级 或者试用产品的触发方式,使得用户能够更加方便地对宽带产品进行试用或 者升级, 提升用户体验。
下面结合具体的系统架构图 4和信令流程图 5 , 通过具体的实施例, 详 细描述一个包含用户带宽通知, QoE检测,带宽调整提醒,带宽产品升级(含 订购)或者试用的实现过程, 本领域技术人员可以理解, 上述列举的各项功 能, 可以单独实现, 也可以部分或者全部一并实现。
如图 4所示, 为本发明实施例提供的一种实现带宽调整的系统架构图, 所述系统包括业务网关 401 (具备 PCEF功能)、 融合计费系统 402、 策 略生成 PCRF网元 403、 ODP服务器 404以及具备 ODP功能的终端 405 , 结 合后面述及的信令流程图 5 , 该系统可以提供诸如带宽通知, QoE检测, 带 宽调整提醒, 带宽产品升级, 订购或者试用, 灵活计费等能力。 其中, 通过 ODP终端和 ODP服务器, 本实施例的系统可以支持页面弹出的实时通知方 式、 SMS/MMS等通知方式。 下面详述各个网元的基本功能:
业务网关 401 (具备 PCEF功能): 本发明实施例提供的业务网关, 可以 基于传统数据业务网关的功能进行改造, 新增 "带宽检测"、 "策略执行" 能 力;
策略生成 ( PCRF )服务器 403: 具备 PCRF功能的服务器是 PCC架构 下标准网元;
融合计费系统 402: 可以基于传统计费系统实现, 提供灵活计费、 账务 管理、 产品管理、 通知触发等功能;
ODP服务器 404以及 ODP客户端 405: 本发明实施例新增网元, 为终 端用户提供自服务、 通知等功能。
参考图 5 , 为本发明实施例提供的, 利用图 4中的系统, 实现用户带宽 调整的信令流程图。
步骤 501 : 用户发起业务访问请求;
用户通过客户端上的 web浏览器或者某种软件客户端,发起业务访问请 求。
步骤 502-503: 具备 PCEF功能的业务网关发起业务带宽需求检测; 即发起判断在什么样的网络带宽情况下, 用户使用当前业务才能有一个 比较好的体验。 PCEF可釆用业务带宽需求动态检测法对当前业务带宽需求 进行检测;
业务带宽需求动态检测, 是指用户访问多媒体业务时, 由于业务请求需 要经过 PCEF中转, PCEF实体可以根据业务源交互信令中的媒体描述信息 (如果信令中携带有的话) 来判断业务的带宽要求; 如 SDP ( Session Description Protocol, 会话描述协议) 中描述为 b=AS:2000, 表示该业务会 话要求带宽为 2M的比特率, 从而检测得到当前业务带宽需求。
在步骤 503中, PCEF上报用户的业务访问请求到计费系统, 上报消息 中可以携带当前访问的业务 ID ,后续计费系统将根据该 ID进行鉴权和计费; 同时, 上报消息中可选携带业务源的需求带宽, 需求带宽值可通过公共 AVP ( Attribute Value Pair, 属性值对), 如 Service-Information字段携带, 也可 通过 Vendor AVP进行携带;
由于用户可能同时运行了两个或者以上需要占用网络带宽的业务, 因此 业务网关可以一并获得多个正在运行的占用网络带宽的业务的带宽要求。
步骤 504-505: 业务权限判断; 本步骤可选。 计费系统可以先对用户的 业务访问进行鉴权, 判断用户是否有权限使用业务, 如果没有权限, 则直接 拒绝用户的本次业务访问请求, 业务访问终止, 如果有权限访问, 则业务正 常交互访问。
步骤 506: 带宽不足判断; 带宽不足判断就是比较用户的当前可用带宽 和当前使用的业务源的带宽需求; 当用户的当前可用带宽小于业务源的带宽 需求时, 则可以认为用户可能 QoE较差; 对于带宽不足的具体判断方式, 可以参考前述实施例步骤 102中的方法和说明, 本实施例在此不赘述。
对用户的当前可用带宽, 融合计费系统可以釆用静态获取法, 即查询用 户订购的套餐, 判断用户当前生效的最大带宽, 例如, 用户订购的月套餐为
30元, 200M, 1M带宽, 则认为用户的当前最大可能带宽为 1M; 当然也可 以动态实时的检测用户当前带宽,具体可以包括:通过部署在用户端的软件, 在需要检测用户当前带宽时, 向该用户端软件发送检测命令, 要求用户客户 端软件上报用户当前带宽情况信息; 或者客户端软件定时进行带宽情况报 告; 条件满足时 (如带宽降低到一定阔值)触发客户端软件上报等;
对于业务源的带宽需求, 融合计费系统可以优先使用前述步骤 503 中 PCEF上报的数据, 如果 PCEF由于无法获取该数据或其他原因没有上报数 据, 则融合计费系统可以从本地获取该数据;
融合计费系统从本地获取业务源的带宽需求的方法可以是根据 PCEF上 报的业务 ID,读取系统中配置的对应业务的带宽要求的静态数据; 例如根据 业务 ID, PCEF上报的用户访问的业务类型为优酷视频业务, 则计费系统读 取本地优酷视频业务的配置信息, 获取该业务的带宽需求。
如果 PCEF未上 业务源的带宽需求, 而且计费系统本地没有配置当前 业务的带宽需求 (例如用户访问比较冷门的视频网站的时候), 则当前方案 无法判断当前用户的 QoE, 在这种情况下, 系统可以默认用户的 QoE满足 用户需求, 即用户当前带宽足够满足业务需要, 不发送提醒给用户。
步骤 507: 触发实时通知; 如果计费系统判断用户当前带宽情况较差, 则可以发送带宽不足通知到 ODP server。通知消息中可以包含通知类型(如: "QoE不足" 消息), 目标用户 (如: 当前使用业务的用户), 满足业务源带 宽要求的建议产品信息, 即推荐更高带宽产品, 如产品列表 ID。
步骤 508: 提醒方式判断; ODP Server可以根据用户状态选择合适的提 醒方式, 提醒方式包括但不限于 SMS、 MMS、 email, ODP客户端实时提醒 等。
步骤 509: 提醒消息推送: ODP Server根据计费系统发送过来的带宽不 足通知内容, 组织给用户终端发送提醒消息, 提醒用户可用带宽不足, 所述 提醒消息可以包含带宽产品推荐信息, 产品升级消息或者产品试用消息等, 发送给用户;
ODP server发送给用户的 "带宽产品推荐"消息中可以包括消息类型(带 宽产品推荐), 满足业务源带宽要求的推荐订购的产品列表以及各产品的描 述。 各产品描述可根据从计费系统接收到的产品 ID从本地保存的产品描述 信息库中提取。
还可以进一步对提醒消息进行延迟发送, 延迟发送的目的, 是为了让用 户可实际感受一段时间的当前业务体验是否可接受,对于延迟提醒带宽不足 的时间间隔, 可以在 ODP server上进行配置。
如果提醒方式为 ODP客户端实时提醒, 用户手机客户端上将实时弹出 提醒对话框, 提醒用户。 用户在终端 (ODP Client )上点击查看实时提醒, 提醒内容可以包括: 推荐的产品, 试用的套餐以及详细描述、 试用的有效期 (周期、 累计流量、 访问次数等参数组合控制)、 试用期间的资费 (由运营 商设定, 可以设置为免费)。
步骤 510: 用户自助选择; 由于 ODP Server发送的消息中携带有产品推 荐信息, 试用的信息以及相应的触发方式, 因此用户可以直接对推荐或者试 用的产品进行选择; 用户如果同意先试用,可以直接在 ODP消息上点击 "试 用" 带宽产品。
步骤 511-512: 终端( ODP Client )发起产品试用请求; ODP Server将请 求前传至融合计费系统。
当然, 终端也可以直接发起产品订购或者升级请求, 在这种情况下, 后 续步骤中, 其他网元就不需要执行试用期的限制, 而是可以直接变更用户带 宽。
步骤 513: 计费系统进行产品订购处理; 计费系统进行试用产品订购操 作, 记录用户与该试用产品的订购关系。
步骤 514-516: 产品试用成功, 调整用户 QoS, 计费系统通知 PCRF用 户定购关系变化,更新 QoS策略并下发; PCRF根据用户新的产品定购关系, 结合业务使用情况等信息生成新的 QoS策略。
本实时例中,用户如果试用高带宽套餐包,则 PCRF生成带宽提升策略, 同时下发需要监控的几个参数: 包括累计访问时长、 累计流量、 累计访问次 数等;
步骤 517: PCRF下发新的 QoS策略至业务网关 PCEF; PCEF进行本地 策略更新, 提升该用户带宽;
步骤 518-519: 试用定购结果展示过程: 计费系统返回定购结果给 ODP Server; ODP Server推送试用结果给终端 (ODP Client ), ODP Client将结果 向用户展现; 用户继续业务访问。 业务访问过程中, 业务网关 PCEF与融合 计费系统交互, 完成业务计费流程(本实施例中是免费), 同时上报该用户 每次的访问时长、 访问流量、 访问次数等, 计费系统进行累计统计。
步骤 520-522: 试用产品失效后, 实时调整 QoS: 由于计费系统记录了 该用户套餐产品的使用情况(累计访问时长、 累计流量、 累计访问次数等), 当用户定购的高带宽试用产品失效时(产品有效期、 时长、 流量、 访问次数 等参数组合控制), 计费系统更新用户定购关系; 计费系统触发 QoS策略刷 新, 实时恢复用户带宽 (网元交互过程与产品试用流程一致); 向用户推送 试用到期提醒, 提醒内容包含正式产品推荐(网元交互过程与试用成功通知 类似 )。
通过本发明实施例的方法, 可以实现带宽通知, QoE检测, 带宽调整提 醒, 带宽产品升级, 订购或者试用, 灵活计费等功能, 提升了用户的带宽感 知度, 使得用户调整带宽的方式更加方便灵活, 提升了用户体验。
