Description

一种 MTC用户设备触发信息的发送方法、 系统和用户设备 技术领域
本发明涉及无线通信技术,特别是指一种 MTC用户设备触发信息的发 送方法、 系统和用户设备。 背景技术
机器对机器 ( M2M, Machine to Machine )技术指机器之间建立连接的 所有技术和手段。 M2M理念在上个世纪九十年代就出现了, 但是只停留在 理论阶段。 2000年以后, 随着移动通信技术的发展, 移动通信技术实现机 器设备的联网成为可能。 2002年左右 M2M业务就在市场上出现, 并在随 后的几年迅速发展, 成为众多通信设备商和电信运营商的关注焦点。 目前 全球的机器数量比人的数量要多很多,因此可以预见到 M2M技术良好的市 场前景。
对 M2M通信应用场景的研究表明在移动网络上提供 M2M通信具有潜 在的市场前景。但 M2M业务对系统提出了很多新的要求, 为了增强移动网 络在这方面的竟争力, 有必要对现有的移动网络进行优化, 以更有效的支 持 M2M通信。
现有的移动通信网络主要针对人与人的通信进行设计, 而对机器与机 器、人与机器的通信则优化不足。此外,运营商如何能够以低成本提供 M2M 通信服务, 也是 M2M通信部署成功的关键。
基于以上情况,有必要研究移动网络支持 M2M通信的解决方案。解决 方案要最大限度重用现有网络,降低大量 M2M通信对网络造成的影响以及 运营维护的复杂度。
目前电信市场竟争日趋激烈, 资费不断下降, 运营商利润空间不断减 小, 以人为基础的通信市场正在趋于饱和, M2M对运营商来说是全新的发 展机遇。
为了有效地利用移动网络资源, 第三代合作伙伴计划 (3GPP , 3rd Generation Partnership Project )提出了机器类型通信 ( MTC, Machine Type Communication ), 包括 M2M、 机器 ^人 ( Machine to Man )进行通讯的业 务, 其业务范围远远超出了以往人对人(H2H, Human to Human )之间的 通讯, MTC在接入控制、计费、安全性、服务质量(QoS, Quality of Service ), 业务模式等方面与现在的 H2H通讯模式有很大的区别。
3GPP演进分组系统( EPS , Evolved Packet System )包括了无线接入网 (如 UMTS陆地无线接入网 (UTRAN, Universal Terrestrial Radio Access Network ), 演进的 UTRAN ( E-UTRAN, Evolved UTRAN )、 GSM/EDGE 无线接入网络 ( GERAN, GSM/EDGE Radio Access Network ) )和核心网。 在演进的分组核心网( EPC, Evolved Packet Core )中有移动管理实体( MME, Mobility Management Entity )、 月良务网关( SG, Serving Gateway )、 分组数据 网 (PDN ) 网关 (PGW, PDN Gateway )等网元; 在 GPRS核心网中包括 服务 GPRS 支持节点 (SGSN, Serving GPRS Support Node )等网元; 在 E-UTRAN中包括演进的节点 B ( eNB, evolved Node B )0
MTC用户设备 (即具有 MTC功能的用户设备 )触发是对 MTC系统的 基本要求之一,该要求所关注的问题是:为了控制 MTC用户设^ MTC UE ) 的通信, 可以采用由 MTC服务器(Server )发起轮询(poll )的方式进行通 信, 对于 MTC UE发起的通信, 有时也需要 MTC服务器从 MTC UE轮询 数据。 如果 MTC服务器查询失败或者 MTC UE的 IP地址不可用, 则 MTC 服务器可以通过 MTC UE触发与 MTC UE建立通信。 如果网络不能触发 MTC UE, 则网络向 MTC服务器报告 MTC UE触发失败, MTC UE触发在 3GPP中通过控制面信令实现。 MTC UE触发包括移动主叫( MO, Mobile Originated )和移动被叫( MT, Mobile Terminating )业务, 即包括 MTC UE发送或者接收信息。
为了实现 MTC UE触发信息的有效传输, 已提出的方案包括: 通过短 it ( SMS, Short Message Service )发送 MTC UE触发信息, 或者通过控制 面信令发送 MTC UE触发信息, 或者通过用户面数据发送 MTC触发信息。 对于通过控制面信令发送 MTC UE触发信息的方式, MTC服务器发送包含 MTC UE 触发信息的控制面信令到 MTC 互联功能 (MTC-IWF, MTC InterWorking Function ), MTC-IWF选择通过 T5或 T4接口发送 MTC UE触 发信息到 MTC UE。 对于通过用户面数据发送 MTC UE触发信息的方式, MTC服务器发送 MTC UE触发信息到 MTC-IWF, MTC-IWF获取 MTC UE 的 IP地址 , 通过用户面向 MTC UE发送 MTC UE触发信息。
3GPP 中的 MTC 架构如图 1 所示, 在用户面, MTC UE 上的应用 ( Application )通过 API接口与 MTC服务器通信,或者通过 Gi/SGi接口直 接与 3GPP网络中的网关 GPRS支持节点 ( GGSN, Gateway GPRS Support Node ) /PGW通信; MTC服务器通过 Gi/SGi接口与 GGSN/PGW通信; GGSN/PGW通过无线接入网 (RAN, Radio Access Network )与 MTC UE 通信;在控制面, MTC服务器通过 Tsp接口向 MTC-IWF发送包含 MTC UE 触发信息的控制面信令, MTC-IWF将控制面信令发送到 MME和 /或 SGSN 和 /或 MSC ( MME/SGSN/MSC )或短信业务中心 ( SMSC, Short Message Service Center ), 进而通过 RAN发送到 MTC UE。
图 2为 MTC服务器通过 MTC-IWF在 T5接口上发送包含 MTC UE触 发信息的示意图, 其中, MTC服务器通过 Tsp接口直接发送包含 MTC UE 触发信息的控制面信令到 MTC-IWF, MTC-IWF通过 T5接口发送 MTC UE 触发信息到 MME/SGSN/MSC, 进一步发送到 MTC UE。
MTC UE收到 MTC UE触发信息后, 可以根据 MTC UE触发信息的指 示, 与 MTC服务器进行通信, 如建立用户面承载, 或者通过 SMS和 MTC 服务器通信。
在对现有技术的研究和实践过程中发现现有技术存在以下问题: MTC-IWF选择通过 T5接口发送 MTC UE触发信息时, 在 T5接口采用什 么方式封装 MTC UE触发信息, MME/SGSN/MSC收到 MTC UE触发信息 后, 采用什么方式向 MTC UE发送等问题还没有明确规定。 发明内容

为了方便描述本发明实施例中,将 MTC UE触发信息简称为触发信息。 本发明实施例通过 T5接口发送 MTC UE触发信息的基本思想如图 3 所示, 包括:
步驟 101 , MTC Server向 MTC-IWF发送触发信息; 其中, 触发信息中 至少包括: 所述 MTC UE外部标识和应用 ID。
本发明实施例中所述的 MTC Server包括: MTC服务能力服务器和 MTC 应用服务器, 如图 1所示。 步驟 102, MTC-IWF将触发信息封装为短信,并通过 T5接口向 MTC UE 的服务节点发送。
MTC-IWF接收到触发信息后, 首先对发送触发信息的 MTC Server的 身份进行鉴定, 以确定 MTC Server为授权发送触发信息的 MTC Server。 同 时, MTC-IWF还对 MTC Server发送的触发信息进行负载控制, 以避免网 络拥塞或节点过载。
封装的具体实现为: 将触发信息包含的内容转化成短信中的对应字段, 对短信中用于指示短信内容的字段进行扩展, 使其用于指示短信内容为触 发信息,以及将触发信息中的 MTC UE外部标识替换为 MTC UE内部标识。 其中 , MTC UE内部标识为 MTC-IWF根据 MTC UE外部标识从 HSS查询 获得。
MTC-IWF将短信通过 T5接口向 MTC UE的服务节点发送, 包括: MTC-IWF根据 MTC UE外部标识向 HSS查询 MTC UE的服务节点的 T5 地址, 并根据查询获得的 T5地址向对应的服务节点发送短信。
在向 MTC UE 的服务节点发送时: 如果短信中的触发信息中包含 MTC-IWF设置的单次发送字段, 则 MTC-IWF不存储短信; 如果短信中的 触发信息中不包含单次发送字段、但包含有效时间字段, 则 MTC-IWF存储 短信。 其中, 单次发送字段表示 MTC-IWF只向服务节点发送一次短信; 有 效时间字段表示在该有效时间字段内, MTC-IWF可以重复向服务节点发送 短信。
另外, MTC-IWF还可以通过采用并行或串行的方式向服务节点发送短 信。
步驟 103 , 通过短信接收到 MTC-IWF发送的触发信息的服务节点, 通 过控制信令或短信向 MTC UE发送所述触发信息。
服务节点需要对 MTC-IWF发送的触发信息进行负载控制,以避免或减 轻网络拥塞或节点过载。
服务节点确定自身和 MTC UE都支持短信时,通过短信发送向 MTC UE 发送触发消息; 否则, 通过控制信令向 MTC UE发送触发消息。
当通过短信发送触发消息时,服务节点将来自 MTC-IWF的短信的目的 地址修改为 MTC UE内部标识后 , 转发给 MTC UE。
当通过控制信令发送触发消息时,服务节点从来自 MTC-IWF的短信中 解析出触发信息, 并通过控制信令向 MTC UE发送; 控制信令的目的地址 为 MTC UE内部标识。 其中, 控制信令为 NAS信令或专用控制信令。
当 MTC UE接收到触发信息后, MTC UE通过触发信息中的应用 ID, 识别出需要被触发的应用 ,并激活所述应用和 MTC server建立应用层通信。
上述的服务节点包括: MME和 /或 SGSN和 /或 MSC。
下面通过具体的实施例对上述方案进行详细的描述, 如图 4所示: 步驟 201 , MTC Server向 MTC-IWF发送触发信息。
当 MTC Server需要触发某个 MTC UE, 与之建立应用层通信时, 生成 一个触发信息, 该触发信息中至少包括该 MTC UE外部标识( ext-ID )和应 用 ID, 该应用 ID用于供 MTC UE识别需要被触发的应用; MTC Server根 据 MTC UE外部标识向 DNS查询 MTC-IWF的 IP地址。
MTC server通过 Tsp接口向 MTC-IWF发送触发信息。
步驟 202, MTC-IWF接收到触发信息后, 对 MTC Server进行认证、授 权,如果 MTC server是合法的,则 MTC-IWF接受触发信息,否则 MTC-IWF 丟弃触发信息。
步驟 203, MTC-IWF查询 MTC UE的服务节点的 T5地址。
MTC-IWF根据 MTC UE外部标识向 HSS查询 MTC UE的服务节点的 T5地址。 其中, 服务节点包括: MME和 /或 SGSN和 /或 MSC。 MTC-IWF 可以查询 MME、 SGSN和 MSC中一个或多个的 T5地址。 步驟 204, MTC-IWF通过 T5接口发送触发信息, 并将触发信息封装 成短信。
MTC-IWF按照协议规定的短信的格式要求,将触发信息包含的内容转 化成短信中的对应字段; 另外, 现有短信结构中有一个用于指示短信内容 的字段,对该字段进行扩展,使其用于指示短信内容为触发信息。 MTC-IWF 在封装触发消息时, 还需要将其中的 MTC UE外部标识替换为内部标识。
MTC UE内部标识为 MTC-IWF根据 MTC UE外部标识从 HSS查询获 付。
本发明实施例方法的实现前提为 MTC-IWF通过 T5接口发送触发信 息, 在实际应用中, MTC-IWF还需要根据本地策略和从 HSS查询到的信 息决策是否通过 T5接口发送触发信息, 如果决策不通过 T5接口发送触发 信息, 那么流程结束。
其中, 本地策略, 例如: 本地网络部署、 MTC UE的服务节点类型、 本地运营商优选方案等; 从 HSS查询到的信息, 例如: MTC UE的服务节 点的 T5地址、 MTC UE内部标识(较佳为 MTC UE的 IMSI )、以及 MTC UE 的签约信息等。
步驟 205, MTC-IWF根据查询到的 T5地址向对应的服务器节点( MME 和 /或 SGSN和 /或 MSC )发送短信。
其中, MTC-IWF通过 T5a接口向 SGSN发送该短信; 和 /或通过 T5b 接口向 MME发送该短信; 和 /或通过 T5c接口向 MSC发送该短信。
如果触发信息中指明了通过 T5接口发送触发信息的方式为单次发送, 则 MTC-IWF不需要存储触发信息; 否则, MTC-IWF存储触发信息, 具体 的, 存储的触发信息为封装后的短信, 并重复发送短信。
其中, MTC-IWF可以在触发信息中设置一个单次发送的字段, 以指示 通过 T5接口发送触发信息的方式为单次发送; 否则, 可在触发信息中设置 一个有效时间段的字段,在该有效时间段内, 只要 MTC-IWF没有接收到触 发信息发送成功的响应, 那么 MTC-IWF重复发送该短信; 直到 MTC-IWF 接收到触发信息发送成功的响应的后, 停止发送, 并删除短信。
MTC-IWF向 MME和 /或 SGSN和 /或 MSC发送短信的方式可以是并行 发送或串行发送, 具体的由 MTC-IWF根据本地策略和从 HSS查询到的信 息等综合衡量后决定。
其中, 本地策略, 例如: 本地网络部署、 MTC UE的服务节点类型、 本地运营商优选方案等;
从 HSS查询到的信息,例如: MTC UE的服务节点的 T5地址、 MTC UE 内部标识(较佳为 MTC UE的 IMSI )、 以及 MTC UE的签约信息等。
步驟 206,服务节点通过确定通过短信发送触发消息时,执行步驟 207; 确定通过控制信令发送触发消息时, 执行步驟 208。
服务节点根据本地策略和 MTC UE的签约信息, 确定自身和 MTC UE 都支持短信时, 确定通过短信发送触发消息; 否则, 确定通过控制信令发 送触发消息。
其中,服务节点向 MTC-IWF请求获取 MTC UE的签约信息, MTC-IWF 向 HSS查询 MTC UE的签约信息并返回。
步驟 207, 服务节点通过短信发送触发消息, 如图 5所示, 具体包括: 步驟 2071 ,服务节点将 MTC-IWF发送的短信中的目的地址由 T5地址 修改为 MTC UE内部标识 , 然后转发给 MTC UE。
步驟 2072, MTC UE向服务节点返回触发信息传送报告。
MTC UE收到短信后, 从中解析出触发信息, 并向服务节点返回触发 信息传送报告, 表明 MTC UE收到触发信息、 即触发信息发送成功。
其中 , 触发信息传送 4艮告可以采用短信或控制信令^ ^载。
另外, 如果触发信息发送失败, 且触发信息中不包含单次发送的字段, 则服务节点设置消息等待标识,等待 MTC-IWF重新发送短信并转发给 MTC UE, 直到接收到 MTC UE返回的触发信息传送报告。 其中, 造成触发信息 发送失败的原因, 可能是: 服务节点收到 MTC UE发送的失败响应, 或者, 上述有效时间字段规定的有效时间超时, 或者服务节点发现 MTC UE不可 达等。
步驟 2073 , 服务节点向 MTC-IWF发送触发信息传送报告。
服务节点将来自 MTC UE的触发信息传送报告转发给 MTC-IWF,表明
MTC UE收到触发信息、 即触发信息发送成功。
步驟 2074, MTC-IWF向 MTC server发送触发信息传送 4艮告。
MTC-IWF将来自服务节点的触发信息传送报告转发给 MTC server,表 明触发信息发送成功, 然后转入步驟 209。
步驟 208, 服务节点通过控制信令发送触发消息, 如图 6所示, 具体包 括:
步驟 2081 , 服务节点从短信中解析出触发信息, 并通过控制信令向 MTC UE发送。 其中, 控制信令可以是 NAS信令或专用控制信令等; 控制 信令的目的地址为 MTC UE内部标识。
步驟 2082, MTC UE向服务节点返回响应消息。
MTC UE收到控制信令后, 从中解析出触发信息, 并向服务节点返回 响应消息, 表明 MTC UE收到触发信息、 即触发信息发送成功。
由于步驟 206中指出: 服务节点确定自身和 MTC UE都支持短信时, 确定通过短信发送触发消息; 否则, 确定通过控制信令发送触发消息。 因 此, 这里 MTC UE需要通过控制信令向服务节点返回响应消息。
另外, 如果触发信息发送失败, 且触发信息中不包含单次发送的字段, 则服务节点设置消息等待标识,等待 MTC-IWF重新发送短信并转发给 MTC UE, 直到接收到 MTC UE返回的响应消息。 步驟 2083 , 服务节点向 MTC-IWF发送触发信息传送报告。 服务节点收到 MTC UE 的响应信息后, 生成触发信息传送报告, 向
MTC-IWF发送, 表明触发信息发送成功。 触发信息传送报告可以采用短信 或控制信令承载。
步驟 2084, MTC-IWF向 MTC server发送触发信息传送报告。
MTC-IWF将来自服务节点的触发信息传送报告转发给 MTC server,表 明触发信息发送成功, 然后转入步驟 209。
步驟 209, MTC UE与 MTC Server建立应用层通信, 流程结束。
应用层通信是指 MTC UE通过触发信息中包含的应用 ID, 识别出需要 被触发的应用, 并激活应用和 MTC server建立通信。

服务节点, 还用于确定自身和 MTC UE都支持短信时, 通过短信发送 向 MTC UE发送触发消息;否则,通过控制信令向 MTC UE发送触发消息; 控制信令为 NAS信令或专用控制信令。
MTC UE在接收到触发信息后, 还用于通过服务节点和 MTC-IWF向 MTC Server发送触发信息传送 ^艮告, 并通过触发信息中的应用 ID, 识别出 需要被触发的应用, 并激活应用和 MTC server建立应用层通信。
