Description

一种网络切换的方法及装置 本申请要求在 2013年 1月 24日提交中国专利局、 申请号为 201310027263.7、 发明名 称为"一种网络切换的方法及装置 "的中国专利申请的优先权, 其全部内容通过引用结合在 本申请中。 技术领域
本发明涉及通信技术领域, 尤其涉及一种网络切换的方法及装置。 背景技术
目前, 随着用户对通信业务需求的飞速增长, 产生了各种类型的无线通信技术以及釆 用上述无线通信技术的相关网络, 例如, 可以提供广覆盖的 2G/3G/4G移动通信技术及网 络,以及可以提供热点覆盖的无线保真( wireless fidelity, wifi )技术和无线局域网( Wireless Local Area Network, WLAN ) 网络。 由于对多种网络的广泛应用, 因此存在不同的无线通 信网络共存的场景, 如 2G/3 G/4G网络和 WL AN共存的场景。 在多种网络共存的场景下, 用户设备 ( User Equipment, UE )基于得到更好的服务并节省其自身电量的目的, 通常需 要对上述多种网络进行合理的选择。 目前, 在蜂窝通信网技术中, 存在使 UE由 2G/3G/4G 网络切换到 WLAN网络的技术, 以应用 WLAN网络进行业务分流, 达到使 UE进行数据 业务的目的。
演进的分组系统( Evolved Packet System, EPS )是一个支持多种接入技术和多种接入 间移动性的系统。在多接入场景下, UE可能处于多个第三代合作伙伴计划( 3rd Generation Partnership Project, 3GPP )和 /或非 3GPP接入网络的共同覆盖下。 这些接入网络可能使用 不同的接入技术, 可能属于不同的运营商, 也可能提供到不同核心网的接入。
例如 , 现有技术下, 通用移动电信系统 ( Universal Mobile Telecommunications System, UMTS ) /长期演进 ( Long Term Evolution, LTE )和 WLAN网络共存场景如图 1所示。 在 UMTS/LTE的接入控制网络节点 (如, UMTS中的 Node B, LTE中的 e B ) 的覆盖范围 内, 存在多个 WLAN的接入点(Access Point, AP ), 接入点的覆盖范围相对基站来说比较 小。
在上述场景下, 目前已经支持的一种 UMTS/LTE和 WLAN互操作的网络架构如图 2 所示, 该架构 于分组数据网 ( Packet Data Network , PDN ) Gateway (网关)和 UE之 间的 S2c接口来实现互操作的。 其中, PDN Gateway以及 WLAN的 AP均可以与因特网 ( Internet ) 中的服务器进行信息交互。
基于上述网络场景和架构, 目前有一种网络选择机制^ &于接入网络发现与选择功能 ( Access Network Discovery and Selection Function, AKDSF )策略来实现的。具体地, AKDSF 与 UE之间通信的架构如图 3所示, 其中 UE与 ANDSF通过 S14接口交互, 该接口是一 个基于因特网协议( Internet Protocol, IP )的接口。 UE与 AKDSF之间的通信有 Pull和 Push 两种模式, 前者是 UE主动向 AKDSF发送请求, 后者是 AKDSF主动推送信息。 AKDSF 策略是比较静态的。
现有技术下, 基于 ANDSF策略向 UE提供网络发现和选择相关的信息, 包括以下三 类:
第一类为: 跨系统的移动性策略(Inter-System Mobility Policy, ISMP )。
ISMP是一系列运营商定义的规则和偏好信息, 该策略定义了是否允许跨系统移动、 最适合接入演进的分组核心 (Evolved packet core, EPC ) 的接入技术类型、 不同接入技术 的不同优先级等信息。ISMP可以在 UE中预配,也可以在 UE请求时发送,还可以由 AKDSF 在某种触发下推送给 UE。 例如, ANDSF可以下发 WLAN的优先级高于 LTE的策略, 这 样, 当 UE在二者覆盖下时, 会优先选择 WLAN系统接入。
第二类为: 接入网络发现信息 (Access Network Discovery Information, ANDI )。
ANDSF可以为 UE提供在其附近可用的、符合所请求的接入类型的接入网络列表以及 相关参数, 如接入技术(如, WLAN, 全球微波互联接入(Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access, WiMAX )等)、 无线接入网络标识、 载波频率等。
第三类为: 跨系统路由策略(Inter-System Routing Policy, ISRP )。
ISRP包含一些跨系统路由所需的信息, 对于具有多无线接入接口的 UE, 如, 支持 IP 流移动性( IP Flow Mobility , IFOM )或多接入 PDN连接 ( Multi Access PDN Connectivity , MAPCON ) 的 UE, 这些信息可以用于决定:
a) 当满足特定路由条件时, 使用何种可用的接入网络来发送数据;
b)对于特定 IP数据流和 /或特定接入点名称( Access Point Name, APN ) 而言, 某种 接入网络何时被禁用。
现有协议规定, ANDSF根据运营商要求和漫游协议选择提供给 UE的 ISMP、 ANDI 和 ISRP, ANDSF 可以同时提供上述三种策略, 也可以仅提供其中的部分策略。 ANDSF 可以与运营商网络中的一些数据库交互, 如归属用户服务器 (Home Subscriber Server, HSS ), 以获取所需的信息。
当 UE接收到可用的优先级高于现有接入网络的接入网络信息,如果用户允许,则 UE 应当执行到该高优先级的发现和重选过程。 当 UE自动选择接入网络时, 不能通过在 ISMP 中被标记为禁止的接入网络接入到 EPC。
WLAN系统中现有测量机制:
根据 IEEE 802.11协议, WLAN网络中可以使用的相关测量包括: channel load (信道 负荷), 用于测量信道利用率 (负荷), 可以使用某一段时间内的忙闲时间进行统计获得; noise histogram (噪声柱状图 ), 用于返回对釆样的 Idle (空闲)信道中 non-IEEE 802.11噪 声功率的柱状图; link measurement (链路测量), 用于对于射频特性的测量。 反映瞬时的 链路盾量。
目前, 在异构网络场景下, UMTS/LTE网络利用 WLAN进行 offload (分流), 存在无 缝分流( seamless offload )和有缝分流( non-seamless offload )两大应用场景参阅图 4及图 5所示。 其中, 无缝分流是指 WLAN和 3GPP核心网 ( Core Network, CN )之间有连接, 在空口分流之后, 业务依然接入的是 3GPP (包括 UMTS/LTE ) 的核心网。 而有缝分流是 指 WLAN和 3GPP CN之间没有连接, 在空口分流之后, 业务直接接入 Internet, 不经过 上述 WLAN分流可以是 UE使用的部分业务的转移, 也可以是 UE使用的全部业务的 转移。 若为部分业务的转移, 那么 UE将同时接入 UMTS/LTE网络及 WLAN网络; 若为 全部业务的转移, 则转移之后, UE仅接入 WLAN网络。
现有技术中, 仅规定了如何从 3GPP网络切换至非 3GPP网络, 而没有规定如何从非 3GPP网络切换至 3GPP网络中。 并且, 由于 UE的网络选择基于比较静态的 ANDSF策略 来实现, 因此, 当 UE选择了非 3GPP网络后即通过该网络进行数据业务时, 即使该网络 能够提供的业务盾量有所下降, UE仍需要通过非 3GPP网络进行数据业务, 从而导致 UE 通信盾量下降甚至掉话的问题。 发明内容

为了解决现有技术中存在的当 UE选择了非 3GPP网络后即通过该网络进行数据业务 时,即使该网络能够提供的业务盾量有所下降,UE仍需要通过非 3GPP网络进行数据业务, 从而导致 UE 通信盾量下降甚至掉话的问题。 本发明实施例中, 用户设备获取预设的非 3GPP网络性能参数切换门限, 以及当该用户设备处于非 3GPP网络中时,获取网络性能参 数; 当上述用户设备判定网络性能参数达到上述预设的网络性能参数切换门限时, 由上述 非 3GPP网络切换至 3GPP网络。 釆用本发明技术方案, 通过将监测的非 3GPP网络的网 络性能参数与预设的非 3GPP网络性能参数切换门限进行比较, 根据比较结果, 即可将用 户设备使用的接入非 3GPP网络的业务由非 3GPP网络切换至 3GPP网络, 从而有效提高 了用户设备的通信盾量, 避免了由于非 3GPP网络通信盾量下降引起的用户设备掉话的问 题。
对于有缝分流的场景, 由于其承载的业务不再经过 3GPP核心网, 因此, 本发明仅考 虑无缝分流场景下, 3GPP网络与非 3GPP网络之间的切换。下面结合附图对本发明优选的 实施方式进行详细说明。
参阅图 6所示, 本发明实施例中, 网络切换的详细流程为:
步骤 600: UE获取预设的非 3GPP网络性能参数切换门限。
本发明实施例中, 上述预设的非 3GPP网络性能参数切换门限可以为由基站预设的非 3GPP网络性能参数切换门限; 也可以为 UE自身预设的非 3GPP网络性能参数切换门限。 进一步的, 该预设的非 3GPP网络性能参数切换门限可以为预设的网络负荷门限, 也可以 为预设的未获得服务时长门限, 还可以为信道盾量指数门限。
当上述预设的非 3GPP网络性能参数切换门限由基站预先设置, 则基站获取预设的非 3GPP网络性能参数切换门限后, 将该预设的非 3GPP网络性能参数切换门限发送至 UE, UE获取该预设的非 3GPP网络性能参数切换门限。
步骤 610: 当上述 UE处于非 3GPP网络中时, 获取网络性能参数。
本发明实施例中, UE处于非 3GPP网络表示, 该 UE使用的全部业务接入非 3GPP网 络,或者该 UE使用的部分业务接入非 3GPP网络。例如, UE当前基于 A DSF中的 ISMP 策略进行网络选择时, 该 UE使用的全部业务仅能接入一种网络, 如 UE使用的全部业务 接入 3GPP网络; UE当前基于 A DSF中的 ISRP策略进行网络选择时, 该 UE使用的业 务可以接入两种网络,如 UE使用的业务 1接入 3GPP网络, UE使用的业务 2接入 WLAN 网络。
对应于预设的非 3GPP网络性能参数切换门限, UE获取的网络性能参数可以为网络负 荷, 也可以为未获得服务时长, 还可以为信道盾量指数。
步骤 620:当该 UE判定上述网络性能参数达到预设的非 3GPP网络性能参数切换门限 时, 由非 3GPP网络切换至 3GPP网络。
当该 UE判定上述网络性能参数达到预设的非 3GPP网络性能参数切换门限时, UE的 接入层向其非接入层发送切换通知消息, 该切换通知消息中携带将该 UE由非 3GPP网络 切换至 3GPP网络的指示; 上述 UE的非接入层根据切换通知消息, 通知网络侧修改该 UE 使用的接入非 3GPP网络的业务的路由表,将 UE使用的接入非 3GPP网络的业务由非 3GPP 网络切换至 3GPP网络。 本发明实施例中, UE通过通知网络侧修改其对应的接入非 3GPP 网络的业务的路由表进行网络切换, 从而保证了在 UE使用的当前业务不中断的情况下实 现由非 3GPP网络向 3GPP网络间的切换。
本发明实施例中, UE根据网络性能参数进行网络切换的具体过程为:
当上述网络性能参数为网络负荷时, 若 UE判定其自身获取的网络负荷达到预设的网 络负荷门限, 即网络负荷大于预设的网络负荷门限, 则将该 UE使用的接入非 3GPP网络 的业务由非 3GPP网络切换至 3GPP网络。上述网络负荷可以根据非 3GPP网络发送的 MAC 帧中携带的信息获取。
当上述网络性能参数为未获得服务时长时, 若 UE判定其自身获取的未获得服务时长 达到预设的未获得服务时长门限,即未获得服务时长大于预设的未获得服务时长门限 [业务 盾量( Quality of Service; QoS )无法得到保证] , 则将该 UE使用的接入非 3GPP网络的业 务由非 3GPP网络切换至 3GPP网络。
当上述网络性能参数为信道盾量指数时, 若 UE判定其自身获取的信道盾量指数达到 预设的信道盾量指数, 即信道盾量指数小于预设的信道盾量指数(此时并未发生无线链路 连接失败),则将该 UE使用的接入非 3GPP网络的业务由非 3GPP网络切换至 3GPP网络。 釆用信道盾量指数作为网络性能参数, 能够避免非 3GPP网络信道盾量指数继续降低最终 造成的无法连接。
当 UE基于不同的策略选择网络时, 该 UE使用的业务接入策略不同, 因此, 针对于 不同的业务接入策略, UE进行网络切换方式也有所不同, 具体为:
当 UE使用的全部业务接入非 3GPP网络, 且该 UE判定其自身获取的网络性能参数 达到预设的非 3GPP网络性能参数切换门限时, 将 UE使用的全部业务由非 3GPP网络切 换至 3GPP网络;
当 UE使用的部分业务接入非 3GPP网络, 且该 UE判定其自身获取的网络性能参数 达到预设的非 3GPP网络性能参数切换门限时, 将上述 UE使用的部分业务由非 3GPP网 络切换至 3GPP网络。 例如, UE使用的业务 1接入 3GPP网络, UE使用的业务 2接入 WLAN网络, 当该 UE判定其自身获取的网络性能参数达到预设的非 3GPP网络性能参数 切换门限时, 将上述 UE使用的业务 2由 WLAN网络切换至 3GPP网络。
对于 UE基于 A DSF中的 ISRP策略进行网络选择的情况, 当该 UE使用的已接入 3GPP网络的部分业务由非 3GPP网络切换至 3GPP网络后, 若该 UE使用的已接入 3GPP 网络的部分业务已结束,则根据 ANDSF策略中的指示,将该 UE使用的后续业务接入 3GPP 网络或者非 3GPP网络; 若上述 UE使用的已接入 3GPP网络的部分业务未结束时, 则利 用 UE内部可进行信息交互的两个独立的模块, 获取非 3GPP网络对应的网络性能参数; 当判定上述网络性能参数未达到预设的非 3GPP网络性能参数切换门限时, 将 UE使用的 部分业务由 3GPP网络切换至非 3GPP网络。 本发明实施例中, 由于在 UE内部包含 3GPP 模块和非 3GPP模块, 上述两个模块为相互独立的两个模块, 可以同时工作, 也可以单独 工作, 两个模块之间可以进行信息的交互。 因此, 当 UE处于 3GPP网络中时, 仍然可以 通过其自身的非 3GPP模块, 获取非 3GPP网络性能参数, 以方便 UE实时监测非 3GPP网 络性能参数, 并根据该网络性能参数决定是否进行网络切换。
下面结合具体的应用场景, 参阅图 7所示, 以 UE处于基站与 WLAN网络中接入点 1 共同覆盖范围下,预设的非 3GPP网络性能参数切换门限为基站(UMTS系统中为 NodeB , LTE系统中为 eNB ) 配置为例, 详细介绍网络切换的过程。
实施例一

步骤 800: 基站将预设的网络负荷门限发送至 UE。
本发明实施例中, 当网络性能参数为网络负荷时, 相应的, 预设的非 3GPP网络性能 参数切换门限为预设的网络负荷门限。 步骤 810: 当 UE处于 WLAN网络中时, 获取 WLAN网络对应的网络负荷。
本发明实施例中, 由于 UE当前基于 ANDSF中的 ISMP策略进行网络选择, 因此, UE处于 WLAN网络表示该 UE使用的全部业务接入 WLAN网络。若 UE当前与基站进行 通信, 即该 UE使用的全部业务接入 3GPP网络, 当该 UE检测到接入点 1后, 基于 ISMP 策略, 即断开与基站的连接, 建立 UE与接入点 1的连接, 即该 UE使用的全部业务接入 WLAN网络。 当 UE与接入点 1建立连接后, 实时监测接入点 1的网络负荷。 UE可以根 据接入点 1发送的 MAC帧中携带的信息获取网络负荷。
步骤 820: 若 UE判定上述网络负荷达到预设的网络负荷门限,则将该 UE使用的接入 WLAN网络的全部业务由 WLAN网络切换至 3GPP网络。
本发明实施例中, 当该 UE判定上述网络负荷达到预设的网络负荷门限时, UE的接入 层向其非接入层发送切换通知消息,该切换通知消息中携带将该 UE由 WLAN网络切换至 3GPP网络的指示; 上述 UE的非接入层根据切换通知消息, 通知网络侧修改该 UE使用的 接入 WLAN网络的业务的路由表, 将 UE使用的全部业务由 WLAN网络切换至 3GPP网 络。 从而保证了在 UE使用的当前业务不中断的情况下实现由非 3GPP网络向 3GPP网络 间的切换。
实施例二
参阅图 9所示, 当 UE当前基于 ANDSF中的 ISMP策略进行网络选择,且网络性能参 数为信道盾量指数时, 进行网络切换的具体流程为:
步骤 900: 基站将预设的信道盾量指数门限发送至 UE。
本发明实施例中, 当网络性能参数为信道盾量指数时, 相应的, 预设的非 3GPP网络 性能参数切换门限为预设的信道盾量指数门限。
步骤 910: 当 UE处于 WLAN网络中时, 获取 WLAN网络对应的信道盾量指数。 本发明实施例中, 由于 UE当前基于 ANDSF中的 ISMP策略进行网络选择, 因此, UE处于 WLAN网络表示该 UE使用的全部业务接入 WLAN网络。若 UE当前与基站进行 通信, 即该 UE使用的全部业务接入 3GPP网络, 当该 UE检测到接入点 1后, 基于 ISMP 策略, 即断开与基站的连接, 建立 UE与接入点 1的连接, 即该 UE使用的全部业务接入 WLAN网络。 当 UE与接入点 1建立连接后, 实时监测接入点 1的信道盾量指数。
步骤 920: 若 UE判定上述信道盾量指数达到预设的信道盾量指数门限, 则将该 UE 使用的接入 WLAN网络的全部业务由 WLAN网络切换至 3GPP网络。
本发明实施例中, 当该 UE判定上述信道盾量指数达到预设的信道盾量指数门限时,
UE的接入层向其非接入层发送切换通知消息, 该切换通知消息中携带将该 UE由 WLAN 网络切换至 3GPP网络的指示; 上述 UE的非接入层根据切换通知消息, 通知网络侧修改 该 UE使用的接入 WLAN网络的业务的路由表, 将 UE使用的全部业务由 WLAN网络切 换至 3GPP网络。 从而保证了在 UE使用的当前业务不中断的情况下实现由非 3GPP网络 向 3GPP网络间的切换。

步骤 1010: 当 UE处于 WLAN网络中时, 获取 WLAN网络对应的网络负荷。
本发明实施例中, 由于 UE当前基于 A DSF中的 ISRP策略进行网络选择, 因此, UE 处于 WLAN网络表示该 UE使用的部分业务接入 WLAN网络。 若 UE当前与基站进行通 信, 并与基站建立了两个业务, 分别为业务 1和业务 2, 即该 UE使用的业务 1和业务 2 接入 3GPP网络, 当该 UE检测到接入点 1后, 基于 ISRP策略, 即断开业务 2与基站的连 接, 建立业务 2与接入点 1的连接, 即该 UE使用的业务 2接入 WLAN网络。 当 UE与接 入点 1建立连接后, 实时监测接入点 1的网络负荷。 UE可以根据接入点 1发送的 MAC帧 中携带的信息获取网络负荷。
步骤 1020: 若 UE判定上述网络负荷达到预设的网络负荷门限, 则将该 UE使用的接 入 WLAN网络的业务 2由 WLAN网络切换至 3GPP网络。
本发明实施例中, 当该 UE判定上述网络负荷达到预设的网络负荷门限时, UE的接入 层向其非接入层发送切换通知消息,该切换通知消息中携带将该 UE由 WLAN网络切换至 3GPP网络的指示; 上述 UE的非接入层根据切换通知消息, 通知网络侧修改该 UE使用的 接入 WLAN网络的业务的路由表, 将 UE使用的业务 2由 WLAN网络切换至 3GPP网络。 从而保证了在 UE使用的当前业务 2不中断的情况下实现由非 3GPP网络向 3GPP网络间 的切换。
本发明实施例中, 当该 UE使用的已接入 3GPP网络的部分业务由 WLAN网络切换至
3GPP网络后, 若该 UE使用的已接入 3GPP网络的业务 2已结束, 则根据 A DSF策略中 的指示, 将该 UE使用的后续业务接入 3GPP网络或者 WLAN网络; 若上述 UE使用的已 接入 3GPP网络的业务 2未结束时, 则利用 UE内部可进行信息交互的两个独立的模块, 实时监测 WLAN 网络对应的网络负荷; 当判定上述网络负荷未达到预设的网络负荷门限 时, 将 UE使用的业务 2由 3GPP网络切换至 WLAN网络。

步骤 1110: 当 UE处于 WLAN网络中时, 获取 WLAN网络对应的信道盾量指数。 本发明实施例中, 由于 UE当前基于 A DSF中的 ISRP策略进行网络选择, 因此, UE 处于 WLAN网络表示该 UE使用的部分业务接入 WLAN网络。 若 UE当前与基站进行通 信, 并与基站建立了两个业务, 分别为业务 1和业务 2, 即该 UE使用的业务 1和业务 2 接入 3GPP网络, 当该 UE检测到接入点 1后, 基于 ISRP策略, 即断开业务 2与基站的连 接, 建立业务 2与接入点 1的连接, 即该 UE使用的业务 2接入 WLAN网络。 当 UE与接 入点 1建立连接后, 实时监测接入点 1的信道盾量指数。
