Description

Method, device and management control system for processing IoT information

Technical field

The present invention relates to the field of communications, and in particular, to a method, an apparatus, and a management control system for processing Internet of Things information. Background technique

The Internet of Things (English: The Internet of things) refers to the technology of connecting sensors to various real objects, connecting them through the Internet, and then running specific n to achieve remote control of objects or direct communication between objects. There is a big difference between the Internet of Things and the network based on human-to-human communication, which causes many problems in the current communication network architecture when carrying the Internet of Things.

First, the number of IoT terminals based on physical communication is as high as tens of billions. The initiation and processing of services are based on objects. Since IoT terminals require a large amount of low data traffic, the transmission of services is discontinuous. When the management, control, and service are highly integrated, in order to maintain the connectivity of the service channel, a large amount of signaling is inevitable, causing network storms and impacting and destroying the network.

Secondly, because the IoT terminal has poor intelligence and weak security protection, in order to prevent security risks, the existing Internet of Things usually has an application that corresponds to a closed network that is tightly coupled from the terminal, network and service. Closed network will inevitably cause waste of network resources and difficulty in sharing and interacting with data information.

Finally, the IoT terminal intelligence is lower than the human-to-human communication terminal, and needs to support the plug-and-play function. At the same time, it needs to support online upgrade. These functions are all implemented through the WAN center. The cost is high, the security is poor, and the local control point is required. Business, local maintenance upgrade.

The existing IoT information processing method is to introduce an intelligent processing module in the access gateway and the service gateway.

The universal application is connected between the terminal and the application server, the terminal executes the application instruction, and the application server installs the application.

The data processing and forwarding domain 3 includes an IoT access gateway 31, a bearer network 32, and an Internet of Things service gateway 33.

The Internet of Things Access Gateway 31 is responsible for connecting the IoT terminal to the bearer network, completing the IoT terminal authentication, applying the local proxy, address translation and data forwarding functions. The bearer network 32 is used to construct a wide area or local area transmission channel between the Internet of Things access gateway and the Internet of Things service gateway.

The Internet of Things Service Gateway 33 is responsible for connecting the IoT application and the bearer network, and completing functions such as application registration, application proxy, and data forwarding.

The management control system 4 is used for the processing of the access and management of the Internet of Things service, and its functions are as follows:

1. IoT terminal access authentication management;

2. Open to the application system to build network service subscription registration and business application logic generation, issue the object network access gateway, carry the network, and execute the network element of the monthly service gateway;

3. The management of the transmission channel resources of the Internet of Things system, including the access gateway, the bearer network and the service gateway; and the management of the network elements of the Internet of Things system.

The method for processing the Internet of Things information provided by the embodiment of the present invention is to realize the access network management of the Internet of Things terminal by the cooperation of the management control system and the network elements in the network, and construct a channel between the Internet of Things application and the Internet of Things terminal based on the application requirement. Establish a network communication channel that meets the application requirements and guarantees quality requirements.

FIG. 1 is a flowchart of a method for processing an Internet of Things information according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 1 , the embodiment specifically includes the following steps:

Step 101: After the service channel is established, when the network resource does not meet the service quality requirement, the management control system sends the first query message to the IoT access gateway.

Since the management control system controls all channel resources, when the channel resources are exhausted and new services need to establish and use channel resources, network resources may not meet the service quality requirements. At this time, the management control system needs to send a first query message to the IoT access gateway, where the first query message is used to query the current inactive service or the low importance service.

Step 102: The management control system receives information about a current inactive service or a low importance service sent by the IoT access gateway.

Step 103: The management control system sends a second query message to the application server, where the second query message carries information about the current inactive service or low importance service. The second query message is used to query whether the current inactive service or low importance traffic can be suspended, unloaded, or reduced channel quality.

Whether the current inactive service and the low importance service can suspend, unload or reduce the channel quality needs to be determined by the application server.

Step 104: The management control system receives a response message sent by the application server, where the response message includes an inactive service or a low importance service that can suspend, uninstall, or reduce channel quality.

The response message returned by the application server includes the inactive service and the low importance service that the management control system can suspend, uninstall or reduce the channel quality. These inactive services and non-essential services can be translated after the suspension, unloading or channel quality reduction. Put network resources into new services and important services that currently require network resources.

Step 105: The management control system sends a notification message to the Internet of Things access gateway according to the notification message sent by the application server or according to the service configuration information, where the notification message includes an inactive service that can suspend, uninstall, or reduce channel quality or low. An importance service, such that the IoT access gateway suspends, unloads, or reduces channel quality of the inactive service or low importance service according to the notification message.

There are two ways in which the management control system can obtain inactive or low-priority services that can suspend, offload, or reduce channel quality:

One method is to obtain the method from the application server, that is, as described in steps 103 and 104, the management control system queries the application server to determine whether the current inactive service or low importance service can be suspended, unloaded, or reduced. ;

Another method is that the management control system can not query the application server, that is, without performing steps 103 and 104, but after step 102, the management control system can directly determine whether the service configuration information can be saved according to the service configuration information saved by the management control system itself. Current inactive services or low importance services suspend, unload or reduce channel quality.

The management control system then sends a notification message to the IoT access gateway to inform the IoT access gateway to suspend, offload or reduce the channel quality of the inactive service and the low importance service. The network access gateway suspends, unloads, or reduces the channel quality of the inactive service and the low importance service, thereby releasing the network resources, and the translated network resources can be used for new applications and important applications.

In the method for processing the Internet of Things information in the embodiment, the inactive service and the low importance service may be suspended, unloaded, or reduced in channel quality, and sufficient for the new service or the high QoS service. Network resources, thus ensuring timely and reliable access to new services or highly important services. FIG. 3 is a signaling diagram of a method for processing an Internet of Things information according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 3, the embodiment specifically includes the following steps:

Step 201: After the service channel is established, when the network resource does not meet the service quality requirement, the management control system sends the first query message to the IoT access gateway.

Step 202: The management control system receives information about a current inactive service or a low importance service sent by the IoT access gateway.

Step 203: The management control system sends a second query message to the application server, where the second query message carries information about the current inactive service or low importance service.

Step 204: The management control system receives a response message sent by the application server, where the response message includes an inactive service or a low importance service that can suspend, uninstall, or reduce channel quality.

Step 205: The management control system sends a notification message to the Internet of Things access gateway according to the response message sent by the application server or according to the service configuration information, where the notification message includes an inactive service that can suspend, uninstall, or reduce channel quality or low. An importance service, such that the IoT access gateway suspends, unloads, or drops the inactive service or low importance service according to the notification message Low channel quality.

Step 206: The IoT terminal and the application server establish a channel for the new service.

The above channels for establishing new services include:

Establish a new low-quality service channel to carry the original service with reduced quality of the channel; or

Establish a new channel for new services or services that are of high importance and require high QoS. The foregoing embodiment embodies a specific service processing procedure after the service channel is established. The embodiment of the present invention further includes a process of registering and establishing a service channel, as shown in FIG. 4, which is a registration and service in the method for processing the Internet of Things information according to the embodiment of the present invention. The signaling diagram of the channel establishment process specifically includes the following steps: Step 301: The application server sends a registration message to the Internet of Things service gateway, where the registration message carries an application that needs to be registered and the subscription user information that uses the application.

The new application must be registered, and the application registration is initiated by the application server. Step 302: The management control system receives the registration message forwarded by the Internet of Things service gateway.

Step 303: The management control system registers an application according to the subscription user information, and generates a user authentication database.

The subscription user information is mainly information about the subscription channel service between the IoT application user and the network system provider.

The application registration is implemented by the management control system. The management control system stores the subscription user information locally. As long as the application carried in the registration message is a legitimate application, the management control system registers the application.

Step 304: The management control system sends a registration success message to the application server.

For a legitimate application that is successfully registered, the management control system sends a registration success message to the application server.

Step 305: The management control system receives, by the application server, terminal authentication information for accessing the application and an application plug-in of the application.

The terminal authentication information includes an identifier of all Internet of Things terminals capable of accessing the application. Steps 301-305 are the process of applying registration on the management control system, through management control The contracted user information stored locally by the system registers the legitimate application, thereby implementing registration management of the application.

The process of establishing a service channel is as follows:

Step 306: The IoT terminal sends a service access request to the IoT access gateway, where the service access request carries an application that needs to be accessed.

Step 307: The management control system receives the service access request forwarded by the IoT access gateway. Step 308: The management control system authenticates the user according to the locally stored subscription user information.

The terminal is used to carry users, and one terminal can carry one or more users. The authentication may be based on a user identity ID, an SIM card or other means.

The management control system queries the locally stored subscription user information. If it is a legitimate user who is allowed to access the network, the management control system performs service authentication for the user. The subscriber information includes user identity, subscription service, and user or service channel priority, so it can determine whether it is a legitimate user.

Step 309: If the IoT access gateway does not install an application plug-in for the user service related application, the management control system sends the application plug-in of the application to the IoT access gateway.

At the same time, the management control system sends the authentication result to the IoT access gateway.

After the authentication is passed, the management control system sends the application plug-in of the application sent by the application server to the IoT access gateway.

Step 310: The IoT access gateway runs the application plug-in to configure a processing policy of the application. Step 311: The Internet of Things access gateway sends the authentication result to the Internet of Things terminal.

Step 312: The Internet of Things terminal sends a service request to the IoT access gateway.

Step 31 3: The IoT access gateway determines whether it needs to establish a service channel with the application server; if not, perform local processing.

The local processing includes performing a conversion of a communication protocol, or performing a socke t number conversion or the like. Step 314: If necessary, the IoT access gateway sends a channel establishment request to the management control system, where the channel establishment request is used to request to establish a network channel connected to the application server. Step 315: When the network resource meets the service quality requirement, the management control system establishes a service channel between the Internet of Things terminal and the application server, and generates a channel forwarding table of the channel.

Specifically, the management control system sends a network resource query request to the bearer network, the Internet of Things service gateway, and the Internet of Things service gateway, receives the network resource information returned by the bearer network and the Internet of Things service gateway, and determines whether the network resource is satisfied according to the received network resource information. Business quality requirements.

Step 316: The management control system sends the generated channel forwarding table to the IoT access gateway, the bearer network, and the Internet of Things service gateway. In addition, the service quality policy obtained from the subscription user information is sent to the bearer network.

Step 317: The management control system queries the current network resource situation, and establishes a service channel between the Internet of Things terminal and the application server when the current network resource can meet the service quality requirement.

Step 306 - Step 317 is a process of establishing a service channel between the specific IoT terminal and the application server, and is also controlled by the management control system, and the channel can be used for bearer after the channel is established. The foregoing embodiment is a specific process of service registration and service channel establishment. FIG. 5 is a signaling diagram of fault processing in the method for processing the Internet of Things information according to the embodiment of the present invention. As shown in the figure, the fault processing specifically includes the following steps:

Step 401: The management control system receives the first path fault information sent by the bearer network, where the fault information includes a port, a network element, or a link fault.

Because the bearer network can virtualize network resources into different logical channels, different logical channels are different paths. When a certain path, such as a port or network element or link on the first path, fails, it is located in the bearer network. The network element on the first path sends a fault message to the management control system, so that the management control system knows that the virtual path is faulty and cannot be used any more.

Step 402: The management control system selects a backup channel for the application carried by the first path. When the first path fails, the management control system needs to select a new path for the application carried by the first path. At this time, the management control system calculates the network resource, and selects the network resource according to the network resource. Select the second path as the backup channel.

Step 403: The management control system sends a first channel switching message to the Internet of Things access gateway. After the backup channel is selected, the management control system sends a first channel switching message to the IoT access gateway, where the channel switching message carries new channel information (including a new interface with the bearer network, transmission bandwidth, priority, etc.) The application that the access gateway carries the first path needs to use the second path to carry the bearer.

Step 404: The management control system sends a second channel switching message to the bearer network.

Because the first path is also the fault of the original bearer application channel, the management control system sends a second channel switch message to the bearer network, informing the bearer network to switch the service channel to the second path. If the bearer network is not controlled by the management control system, this step is omitted.

Step 405: The management control system sends a third channel switching message to the Internet of Things service gateway. Each of the foregoing channel switching messages is used to notify that the application carried on the first path needs to be switched to the second path.

Step 406: Establish a service channel between the Internet of Things terminal and the application server by using the second path. Through the steps 401-406, the standby second path that can be conveniently switched after the service path originally carried by the application, that is, the first path fails, is carried. Under the control of the management control system, different service channels are provided for different IoT service applications to carry; and when the management control system realizes receiving the fault information, it can quickly select different service channels for bearer and realize the application. protection of.
