Description

一种网络信息处理方法、 装置和系统 技术领域
本发明涉及通信领域, 具体涉及一种网络信息处理方法、 装置和系统。 背景技术
第三代合作伙伴计划 ( 3rd Generation Partnership Project, 3GPP ) 的演 进的分组系统(Evolved Packet System, EPS ) 包括演进的通用移动通信系 统陆地无线接入网 ( Evolved Universal Terrestrial Radio Access Network, E-UTRAN )、 移动管理单元 ( Mobility Management Entity, MME )、 服务网 关 (Serving Gateway, S-GW )、 分组数据网络网关 (Packet Data Network Gateway, P-GW或者 PDN GW)、归属用户服务器( Home Subscriber Server, HSS )、 3 GPP的认证授权计费 ( Authentication, Authorization and Accounting, AAA )服务器, 策略和计费规则功能( Policy and Charging Rules Function, PCRF ) 实体及其他支撑节点。 通常将 PCRF实体简称为 PCRF。
图 1是相关技术中 EPS的系统架构示意图, 图 1中, EUTRAN中包含 基站 eNodeB (图中未示出); MME负责移动性管理、 非接入层信令的处理 和用户移动管理上下文的管理等控制面的相关工作; S-GW是与 E-UTRAN 相连的接入网关设备, 在 E-UTRAN和 P-GW之间转发数据, 并且负责对 寻呼等待数据进行緩存; P-GW 则是 EPS 与分组数据网络(Packet Data Network, PDN )的边界网关, 负责 PDN的接入及在 EPS与 PDN间转发数 据等功能; S-GW和 P-GW都属于核心网网关; PCRF通过接收接口 Rx和 运营商网络协议( Internet Protocol, IP )业务网络相连, 获取业务信息, 此 夕卜, PCRF通过 Gx接口与网络中的网关设备相连,负责发起 IP承载的建立, 保证业务数据的服务质量(Quality of Service, QoS ), 并进行计费控制。 EPS 还支持通用移动通信系统陆地无线接入网 (Universal Terrestrial Radio Access Network, UTRAN ),全球移动通讯系统边界无线接入网( Global System of Mobile communication EDGE Radio Access Network, GERAN ) 系 统的接入。其中,服务 GPRS支持节点( Serving GPRS Support Node, SGSN ) 与 S-GW通过 S4接口互通信息, SGSN通过 S3接口与 MME互通信息。
3GPP还支持与非 3GPP系统互通, 其中, 与非 3GPP系统的互通通过 S2a/b/c接口实现, P-GW作为 3GPP与非 3GPP系统间的锚点, 与本发明关 系不大,因此未在图中示出。所述非 3GPP系统可以为 WLAN( Wireless Local Access Network, 无线局域接入网)。
用户设备 UE ( User Equipment )在进行某种业务时, 运营商有可能希 望获取网络的负载情况或者用户使用网络的行为状况, 据此来决定如何进 行和调整该业务, 例如, 对于推送(Push )类业务中的广告 (视频短片 ) 等业务, 如果小区当前的网络负载较 0轻, 就开展这类业务; 如果网络负 荷较重, 那就首先保证对 QoS要求高的业务(比如语音通话), 而 PUSH类 业务可以推迟开展。
参见图 2, 网络中部署有网络及用户行为分析 (Network and user Behavior Analysis, NBA )设备(简称为 NBA ), NBA通过多种渠道(比如 与网络设备接口, 或者与网管系统互通)获取网络和用户的初始信息, 并 对这些信息分析和统计, 制定对网络和用户的信息分析报告, 该报告通过 Xa接口报送给本网络的 PCRF。 PCRF在制定策略时, 要充分考虑 NBA报 送的信息分析报告, 以调整业务的 QoS, 或者执行时间, 或者业务资源授 权等。
现有技术中, 只考虑了图 2所示的非漫游场景, NBA和 PCRF同在一 个网络域内, 信息分析报告可以通过非漫游接口 Xa报送。 当用户接入时处 于如图 3所示的漫游场景时, NBA处于拜访域。 又因为 S5接口采用的是 GTP协议,在现有的规划定义下, S5接口采用 GTP协议时拜访域网络是不 启用 vPCRF ( visited PCRF, 拜访域 PCRF ) 的。 这样, 即使拜访域网络部 署了 NBA设备, NBA完成信息分析报告后也无法报送给本网络的 PCRF(因 为 vPCRF对于本 PDN连接没有启用), 而 NBA的信息又不能跨网络报告 给家乡网络中的 hPCRF ( Home PCRF, 家乡 /归属域 PCRF ) (这是运营商不 允许的), 因此在这种情况下 hPCRF无法获知网络及用户行为信息等网络 信息, 因此无法处理漫游用户的 QoS调整、 授权策略等, 特别是在网络拥 塞的情况下,无法保证 UE的高优先级业务优先运行, 漫游时的用户体验变 差。 发明内容
有鉴于此, 本发明实施例的主要目的在于提供一种网络信息处理方法、 装置和系统, 能够为漫游用户提供涉及网络及用户行为的网络信息, 以针 对 UE业务确定用于在 EPS网络执行的更为精确、 细致的控制策略。

下面将参考附图并结合实施例来详细说明本发明。 为了解决相关技术 中存在的问题, 根据网络和对用户行为的统计分析, 由 vPCRF制定策略, 或者由 vPCRF为 hPCRF所制定的策略进行授权, 以适应某些业务的开展。
架构一
参见图 4, 在如图 4所示的架构下, 启用 vPCRF, vPCRF与 hPCRF以 及 NBA之间存在接口。 NBA采集网络状况信息和用户行为信息并对采集 到的信息进行统计分析, 将分析结果通过 Xa接口上报给 vPCRF, vPCRF 根据收到的分析结果对策略进行调整并将调整后的策略发送给 hPCRF, 继 而由 hPCRF将收到的策略发送给 EPS网络用于执行。
需要说明的是, 本发明实施例中, NBA是网络及用户行为分析功能
( Network and user Behavior Analysis ) 的缩写。 NBA只是一个名称代号, 在进行标准化或者是网络部署时, 具有上述的网络及用户行为分析功能的 实体可以具有其它名称。
vPCRF是由 hPCRF选择的, Xb会话是由 hPCRF发起并建立的, Xb 会话可以是现有 S9会话或者其增强会话; Xa接口可以支持有状态的策略 会话, 也可以支持无状态的信息交互。
实施例一
在本实施例中, UE通过拜访网络接入后, 建立家乡路由的 PDN连接 (默认 PDN连接, 或者是附加 PDN连接 )场景下, 选择 vPCRF以及建立 对应的策略会话的方法, 并且论述了策略会话建立后, 制定策略和授权策 略的相关操作, 相关流程参见图 5, 图 5所示流程包括以下步骤:
步骤 501, UE附着到演进的分组核心网 ( evolved Packet Core, EPC ), 建立第一个 PDN连接,或者 UE发起了附加( additional ) PDN连接的建立; 步骤 502, P-GW与 hPCRF之间建立策略会话 Gx会话(也称为 IP-CAN 会话)。
步骤 503至步骤 504, 受到步骤 502的触发, hPCRF选择 vPLMN的 vPCRF, 并与 vPCRF建立策略会话( Xb会话)。
其中, hPCRF可以基于步骤 501和步骤 502中由拜访网络发送到 hPCRF 的 vPLMN-ID选择 vPCRF, 也就是说 hPCRF根据 vPLMN-ID可以选择对 应的 vPLMN, 然后在 vPLMN中选择合适的 vPCRF。
根据步骤 502的触发, hPCRF判断当前是否需要选择 vPCRF。 也就说 之后在拜访网络部署了 NBA 的场景下, hPCRF 才需要选择 vPCRF 并与 vPCRF建立策略会话。 这可以通过以下方式实现: 1、 在 hPCRF上配置运营商间的签约信息。 由于 hPCRF获取了拜访网 络的 vPLMN 的 vPLMN-ID, 因此 hPCRF 能根据配置的签约信息获知 vPLMN部署了 NBA,因此 hPCRF和 vPCRF之间需要建立策略会话。这样, hPCRF就主动发起策略会话的建立;
2、 在步骤 501的附着过程中, 或者 PDN连接过程中, vPLMN主动携 带了指示信息, 该指示信息指示出 vPLMN部署了 NBA。 该指示信息通过 附着或者 PDN连接建立流程, 依次到达 P-GW和 hPCRF, hPCRF根据该 指示信息决定需要发起 hPCRF和 vPCRF之间的策略会话建立。
可选的, 所述指示信息有多种实现方式, 可以通过一个单独的信元, 或者作为对 vPLMN-ID的一个修饰字节, 或者是对其他信元的修饰字节一 起发送到 hPCRF0
hPCRF和 vPCRF之间的接口, 本发明实施例中取名为 Xb接口, 对应 的策略会话为 Xb会话。 实际实现时, 可以采用现有的 S9接口或者增强的 S9接口实现。 也就是说后续标准工作中, 该接口仍可以称作 S9接口, 功能 上对 S9接口有些许增强。
实施例流程中, Xb接口的会话建立过程包含示出的两条消息, 具体实 现时, 会话的建立过程可能不止包含两条消息, 具体的消息数目取决于相 应的实现方法。
步骤 505至步骤 506,受到步骤 503的触发, vPCRF与 vPLMN的 NBA 建立策略会话(Xa会话)。
本发明实施例中, Xa接口是个代名词, 具体标准中采用何种名称, 不 影响本发明实施例的实质内容。
本实施例中,假设 Xa接口上的策略会话是有状态的策略会话,也就说, vPCRF和 NBA之间保存了一个有生命期, 并且有协商上下文的策略会话, 该策略会话在 PDN连接存在期间会保留, 并为 PDN连接服务。 vPCRF和 NBA属于同一网络, vPCRF针对 NBA的查找可以通过网络 配置或者其他非标准化的方式实现。
步骤 507至步骤 508, NBA从具体设备网元或者网管系统, 搜集无线、 有线线路、 设备、 用户的状态信息和统计信息, 并对收集到的信息进行统 计和分析, 生成信息分析报告。 该信息分析报告的生成可以是实时的或者 是准实时的。
其中, 步骤 507和步骤 506之间没有触发关系和先后关系。
步骤 509, NBA通过 Xa会话上报信息分析报告给 vPCRF。 其中, 该 上报可以由 NBA上的定时器周期性的主动上报实现或者由签约事件触发; 也可以由 vPCRF上的定时器周期性的请求实现或者由签约事件触发的请求 实现。
步骤 510, vPCRF根据 NBA上报的信息分析报告, 调整当前的策略, 比如, 在网络空闲的场景下, 允许低优先级的业务开展; 在网络繁忙的场 景下, 只允许某些高优先级的业务开展, 而拒绝某些低优先级的业务开展。
步骤 511, vPCRF通过 Xb会话把调整后的策略发送给 hPCRF;
步骤 512, hPCRF把收到的策略下发到 EPS网络用于执行;
步骤 513, EPS网络执行策略。
通过以上步骤, vPCRF根据网络状态和用户行为的分析, 对策略进行 调整, 优先保证高优先级业务的开展, 优先保证高优先级用户的业务, 实 现了更加精细化的网络管理。
实施例二
参见图 6, 本实施例的场景和机制基本同实施例一, 不同点在于 NBA 和 vPCRF之间的信息互通不再是通过有状态的策略会话实现, 而是采用无 状态的信息互通, 图 6所示的流程包括以下步骤:
步骤 601至步骤 604, 同步骤 501至步骤 504; 步骤 605至步骤 606, 同步骤 507至步骤 508;
步骤 607, 本步骤体现了本实施例与实施例一的主要区别: NBA 和 vPCRF接口的交互方式。
具体而言, 实施例一中, 通过步骤 505和步骤 506建立了有状态的策 略会话, 所以信息分析报告可以通过修改 Xb接口策略会话上报; 而在本实 施例中, NBA和 vPCRF之间没有策略会话, 因此信息分析报告的上报方式 为: vPCRF定时从 NBA中获取,或者是 vPCRF基于事件触发从 NBA中获 取。
步骤 608至步骤 611, 同步骤 510至步骤 513。
实施例三
参见图 7, 本实施例阐述的是网络侧发起了应用, hPCRF制定策略, vPCRF授权策略的工作机制。 图 7所示流程包括以下步骤:
步骤 701,UE已经附着到 EPS网络并且已经建立了一个或者多个 PDN 连接;
vPCRF和 HPCRF之间已经建立了 Xb会话; NBA和 vPCRF之间建立 了有状态的 Xa会话, 或者采用无状态的信息交互方式。
步骤 702至步骤 703, NBA从具体设备网元或者网管系统, 搜集无线、 有线线路、 设备、 用户的状态信息和统计信息, 并对收集到的信息进行统 计和分析, 生成信息分析报告。 该信息分析报告的生成可以是实时的或者 是准实时的。
其中, 步骤 702和步骤 704之间没有触发关系和先后关系。
步骤 704至步骤 705, 网络侧发起业务, AF ( Application Function, 应 用功能)实体向 hPCRF推送业务描述信息, hPCRF根据业务描述信息制定 策略。
步骤 706, hPCRF将制定的策略发送给 vPCRF以请求授权; 步骤 707至步骤 708, vPCRF根据 NBA定时上报的信息分析报告(针 对实施例一的情况), 或者主动从 NBA中查询的信息分析报告 (针对实施 例一和实施例二的情况), 对请求授权的策略进行审核和调整。
步骤 709, vPCRF将授权的策略通过 Xb接口反馈给 hPCRF;
步骤 710至步骤 711, hPCRF将授权的策略下发到 P-GW, 由 EPS网 络执行该策略。
其中,上述描述的流程是 vPCRF授权了 hPCRF的策略。如果在网络状 态比较繁忙时, 对于优先级要求不是很高的业务(比如广告短片等移动运 营商的推送类业务 )可以暂时停止开展,则 vPCRF会拒绝 hPCRF对策略授 权的请求, hPCRF可以在网络状态不再繁忙时重新发起授权请求。

步骤 903, 在附着或者 PDN连接建立过程中, S-GW选择 vPCRF, 并 通过 Xc接口触发 vPCRF发起策略会话建立。
步骤 904, 受到步骤 903的触发, vPCRF向 hPLMN的 vPCRF发起建 立策略会话( Xb会话 )请求, 并建立 Xb策略会话。
实施例流程中, Xb接口的会话建立过程包含示出的两条消息, 具体实 现时, 会话的建立过程可能不止包含两条消息, 具体的消息数目取决于相 应的实现方法。
步骤 905至步骤 913, 同步骤 505至步骤 513。
