Description

无线通信网络的准入控制的方法及装置 技术领域 本发明涉及无线通讯技术领域, 具体涉及一种无线通信网络的准入控 制的方法及装置。
背景技术 在无线通信系统中, 用户设备 ( user equipment, 简称为 "UE" )与无 线接入网 (radio access network, 简称为 "RAN" )设备之间通过 中接口 ( air interface, 简称为 "空口")进行信息传递。 由于空口资源 (也称为无 线资源)有限, 无线资源管理(radio resource management, 简称为 "RRM" ) 应运而生, 其基本目标是在保证已接入业务的业务质量( quality of service, 简称为 "QoS" ) 的前提下, 希望尽可能地改善网络覆盖、 提高系统容量。 其中为了保证已接入业务的 QoS, 就有必要根据资源的使用情况, 对业务 请求进行准入控制( admission control ), 即根据系统的负载情况确定是否为 新的业务请求建立承载 ( bearer )。
对于传统的无线通信系统, 如全球移动通信 ( global system for mobile communication, 简称为 "GSM" ) 系统或码分多址 ( code division multiple access, 简称为 "CDMA" ) 系统, "专用" 是资源分配的主要思想, 一旦 用户接入系统并被分配资源后, 只要该用户没有中断连接, 资源就会一直 被其占用。 因此资源占用率(如功率资源)就被用来表征系统的负载情况, 例如当基站的发送功率超过最大发送功率的 90 %就认为小区负载高, 否则 就认为小区负载低。 同时, 由于资源是专用的, 所以可以进行预测, 即根 据当前系统的负载情况来预测新用户接入后会占用多少资源。
传统的准入控制方法主要基于系统资源占用情况进行准入控制。 首先 需要计算当前系统中已占用多少资源, 并预测接入新用户后将会额外占用 多少资源, 最后将两者之和与预设的准入门限进行比较, 若低于准入门限, 则准入该新用户的业务请求, 否则拒绝该新用户的业务请求。 但是, 随着 技术的演进, "共享" 取代 "专用" 成为资源分配的主流, 用户接入系统 后其所占用的资源不再一成不变, 而是由资源调度算法来决定, 按需分配, 按优先级均衡。 这就使得计算或预测系统资源占用率变得越来越复杂, 相 应地, 想要得到准确的资源占用率和准入门限也变得越来越困难。 发明内容 本发明实施例提供了一种无线通信网络的准入控制的方法及装置, 可 以无需复杂且不准确的资源占用情况的计算, 就能够有效提高无线通信网 络的系统容量。

具体实施方式 为使本发明的目的、 技术方案、 及优点更加清楚明白, 下面结合附图 并举实施例, 对本发明提供的技术方案进一步详细描述。
本发明实施例提供的技术方案可以应用于通过资源调度算法 "共享" 资源的无线通信网络, 包括但不限于: 通用移动通信 ( universal mobile telecommunication system, 简称为 "UMTS" ) 系统、 长期演进 ( long term evolution, 简称为 "LTE" ) 系统、 先进的长期演进 ( long term evolution advanced , 简称为 " LTE-A " ) 系统、 全球互联微波接入 ( worldwide interoperability for microwave access, 简称为 "WiMAX" ) 系统、 超移动覔 带( ultra-mobile broadband, 简称为 "UMB" )系统等。 术语 "网络" 和 "系 统" 可以相互替换。
图 1为本发明实施例提供的一种无线通信网络 100的结构示意图。 如 图 1所示,无线通信网络 100包括至少一个基站(base station,简称为 "BS" ) 120。 基站可以是与用户设备(user equipment, 简称为 "UE" )或其它通信 站点如中继站点, 进行通信的设备。 基站可以为特定地理区域提供通信覆 盖。 例如, 基站具体可以是 UMTS中的节点 B ( Node B , 简称为 "NB" ); 也可以是 LTE或 LTE- A中的演进型节点 B ( Evolutional Node B , 简称为 "ΕΝΒ" 或 "eNode B" ); 或者, 还可以是无线通信网络中的提供接入服务 的其他接入网设备, 本发明实施例中并不限定。
无线通信网络 100还可以包括网络控制器 130和数据网关 140。 其中, 网络控制器 130可以与基站进行信息交互, 并且为这些基站提供协调和控 制。 例如, 该网络控制器可以是 UMTS的无线网络控制器(radio network controller, 简称为 "RNC" )。 数据网关 140可以支持 UE的数据服务并且负 责建立、 维护和终止 UE的数据会话。 数据网关 140可以与数据网络 150 进行信息交互。 数据网络可以包括但不限于: 核心网 ( core network, 简称 为 "CN" )、 私有或公共数据网络、 分组数据网 (packet data network, 简称 为 "PDN" )、 因特网 ( internet )。 在本发明实施例中, UE 110可以分布于整个无线通信网络中,每个 UE 可以是静态的或移动的。 UE 可以称为终端 (terminal ), 移动台 (mobile station ), 用户单元( subscriber unit ), 站台 (station )等。 例如, UE具体可 以为蜂窝电话 ( cellular phone ), 个人数字助理 ( ersonal digital assistant, 简称为 PDA ) , 无线调制解调器 (modem ) , 无线通信设备, 手持设备 ( handheld ), 膝上型电脑 ( laptop computer ), 无绳电话 ( cordless phone ) 等。 UE可以经由上行链路和下行链路与基站进行通信。 上行链路(或反向 链路)指的是从 UE到基站的通信链路, 下行链路 (或前向链路)指的是从 基站到 UE的通信链路。 在后续的描述中, 结合上下文环境, 术语 "UE" 和 "用户" 或 "业务" 可以互换使用。
现有技术中, 无线资源管理 ( radio resource management, 简称为 "RRM" )功能实体通常位于基站或网络控制器中。 例如, 在宽带码分多址 ( wideband code division multiple access, 简称为 "WCDMA" ) 系统的 R99 版本之前, RRM功能实体位于 RNC中; 在 R5版本推出高速下行分组接入 ( high speed downlink packet access, 简称为 "HSDPA" )后, 为提高控制响 应速度, 部分 RRM功能实体下移到基站( Node B ) 中。 在 LTE或 LTE-A 系统中, RRM功能实体位于基站(eNode B ) 中。
以 LTE系统为例, UE在需要进行数据传输时,可以通过 eNode B向核 心网设备,如移动性管理实体( mobility management entity,简称为 "MME" ), 发送业务请求( service request )消息; MME可以向 eNode B发送承载建立 请求, 用于请求建立承载, 为该 UE分配无线资源; eNode B接收到该承载 建立请求后, 可以执行准入控制方法, 以确定是否为该 UE 建立承载。 若 eNode B确定为该 UE建立承载, 则 eNode B可以向 UE发送 RRC连接重 配置消息, 为该 UE建立无线承载, 并向 MME发送承载建立响应。 以下将 详细介绍本发明实施例提供的准入控制的方法和装置。 图 2-1为本发明实施例提供的一种准入控制的方法的流程示意图。如图 2-1所示, 本发明实施例可以包括:
步骤 S201、 比较第一业务的调度等待时间与第一准入门限, 所述第一 业务为已建立承载的业务。
上述建立7 载可以是指建立无线接入 载( radio access bearer, 简称为
"RAB" ), 也可以是指建立演进型无线接入承载 (E-UTRAN radio access bearer, 简称为 "E-RAB" ), 还可以是指其他为业务提供资源的途径。 第一 业务的调度等待时间可以定义为从第一业务申请调度资源到该第一业务获 得调度资源之间的时间间隔。 以 LTE系统为例, 在上行方向上, 第一业务 的调度等待时间可以包括: 从接收到 UE 上报的随机接入请求 (random access request )到为该 UE分配上行初传 ( new transmission )调度资源之间 的时间间隔; 或者, 从接收到 UE上报的调度请求( scheduling request )到 为该 UE分配上行初传调度资源之间的时间间隔; 或者, 从接收到 UE上报 的緩存状态报告 ( buffer status reporting )到为该 UE分配上行初传调度资源 的时间间隔。 在下行方向, 第一业务的调度等待时间可以为从 S1-U接口接 收到下行数据包到为该数据包分配初传调度资源之间的时间间隔。 上述初 传调度资源可以包括物理下行控制信道 ( hysical downlink control channel, 简称为 "PDCCH" )的公共控制信道( common control channel,简称为 "CCE" ) 资源、 资源块(resource block, 简称为 "RB" )。
上述比较第一业务的调度等待时间与第一准入门限, 具体可以包括: 预先定义一个比较周期, 在比较周期内收集第一业务的调度等待时间, 将 收集的第一业务的调度等待时间与第一准入门限进行比较, 得到第一业务 的调度等待时间大于、 等于或小于该第一准入门限的三种情形。 其中, 该 第一准入门限可以为预先设定的时间值。
例如, 若该统计周期内仅有一个第一业务, 则此时可以直接比较该第 一业务的调度等待时间与该第一准入门限。 若该统计周期内有多个第一业 务, 则上述比较第一业务的调度等待时间与第一准入门限, 具体可以釆用 如下所述任意一种或多种方案进行:
方案一、 将统计得到的多个第一业务的调度等待时间进行统计处理, 得到单一的第一业务的调度等待时间, 再比较单一的第一业务的调度等待 时间与该第一准入门限, 得到第一业务的调度等待时间大于、 等于或小于 该第一准入门限的三种情形。 其中, 上述统计处理可以包括但不限于如下 操作: 求平均值、 求最大值、 加权求和。
方案二、 分别比较每个第一业务的调度等待时间与该第一准入门限, 统计比较周期内出现第一业务的调度等待时间大于该第一准入门限的次 数, 若该次数大于预先设定的次数, 则认为第一业务的调度等待时间大于 该第一准入门限。 反之, 则认为第一业务的调度等待时间小于或等于该第 一准入门限。
方案三、 分别比较每个第一业务的调度等待时间与该第一准入门限, 统计比较周期内全部的第一业务中, 调度等待时间大于该第一准入门限的 比例, 若该比例大于预先设定的比例, 则认为第一业务的调度等待时间大 于该第一准入门限。 反之, 则认为第一业务的调度等待时间小于或等于该 第一准入门限。
应当理解,第一业务可根据业务质量(quality of service,简称为 "QoS" ) 需求的不同,相应地区分为不同的业务等级。所述业务等级也可被称为 QoS 等级、 流等级、 业务类别、 服务类别等。 不同的业务等级可以对应不同的 QoS需求, 例如在 LTE系统中, 业务等级可以通过该业务的承载的 QoS等 级标识( QoS class identifier, 简称为 "QCI" )进行区分, 不同的 QCI值可 以对应不同的处理优先级、 可接受的延迟预算、 以及丟包率等。 例如, 可 以根据 QoS需求的不同将第一业务具体分为语音业务、 流业务、 高时延敏 感交互业务、 保证速率业务和尽力而为业务, 共五类业务等级。
可选地, 上述步骤 S201还可以包括: 在比较第一业务的调度等待时间 与第一准入门限之前, 将第一业务根据 QoS需求区分为不同的业务等级, 并在得到的不同业务等级中选择部分或全部的业务等级进行比较, 从而可 以针对不同的业务等级, 分别比较第一业务的调度等待时间和第一准入门 限。 相应地, 上述统计周期和第一准入门限的数值, 可以根据经验自行确 定, 也可以根据第一业务的业务等级进行调整。 例如, 对于不同时间延迟 需求的业务, 上述第一准入门限可以与该业务的可接受的延迟预算相同或 相近, 比如 VoIP ( voice over internet protocol )业务的第一准入门限可以设 置为 100毫秒(millisecond, 简称为 "ms" )。 需要说明的是, 上述数值仅为 示意性说明, 在具体的实现中, 还可以取其他数值, 本发明实施例不对其 进行限定。
步骤 S202、 若所述第一业务的调度等待时间大于所述第一准入门限, 比较所述第一业务的满意率与第二准入门限。 该第二准入门限可以是预先 设定的满意率门限。
针对不同业务等级的第一业务, 对应的满意率计算方法可分别包括多 种不同的计算方法。 下面将结合如上所述的五种不同业务等级的第一业务, 语音业务、 流业务、 高时延敏感交互业务、 保证速率业务和尽力而为业务, 分别进行举例说明。
1、 语音业务
语音业务的语音质量可以用主观平均得分 ( mean opinion score, 简称为 "M0S" )表示, 比如现有技术中 ITU-T P.862 规定的语音质量感知评估 ( erceptual evaluation of speech quality, 简称为 "PESQ" )方法和 ITU-T G.107规定的 E-Model都可以完成这一工作。 对于语音业务, 可以釆用以下 方法计算其满意率:
( 1 )语音业务的 M0S分值超过预设分值的认为满意, 否则认为不满 意, 其中, 该预设分值的具体值可以根据实际需要设定。 因此可以按照如 下方法计算获得语音业务的满意率, 即语音业务满意率为满意的语音业务 数与总的语音业务数的比值, 可以为:
语音业务满意率 = (满意的语音业务数 ) I (总的语音业务数 )
( 2 )可以根据每个语音业务对应的权重获得加权后的语音业务的 MOS 分值之和,则语音业务的满意率为加权后的语音业务的 MOS分值之和与所 述权重之和的比值, 比如按以下方法获得:
_∑(^ x OSJ 其中 &。^即为语音业务满意率, &为第 ζ·个语音业务的 M0S分值, ^为第 ζ·个语音业务的权重。
( 3 ) 由 UE上报其对当前语音业务是否满意, 然后根据该上报的结果 计算获得语音业务的满意率,可以在 UE的上报结果中包括表示对语音业务 是否满意的参数, 则语音业务满意率为满意的语音业务数与语音业务的总 用户数的比值, 可以为:
语音业务的满意率 = (满意的语音业务数) I (语音业务的总业务数)
2、 流业务
目前, 流业务一般指视频流业务, 对于其它流业务, 可以做类似的处 理。 现有技术中通常使用峰值信噪比 (Peak Signal to Noise Ratio , 简称为 "PSNR" )对流业务质量进行评估。 对于流业务, 可以釆用以下方法计算 其满意率:
( 1 ) PSNR达到预设数值的认为满意, 否则认为不满意。 因此, 可以 根据满意的流业务数与总的流业务数的比值得到流业务的满意率, 例如: 流业务满意率 = (满意的流业务数 ) I (总的流业务数 )
该预设的数值可以根据实际需要设定。
( 2 )可以根据每个流业务对应的权重确定加权后的流业务的峰值信噪 比之和, 则流业务的满意率为所述加权后的流业务的峰值信噪比之和与所 述每个流业务的权重之和的比值, 比如按以下方法获得:
Figure imgf000014_0001
其中, SWife。即为流业务满意率, 为第 ζ·个流业务的 PSNR, ^为 第 个流业务的权重。
( 3 ) 由 UE上报其对当前流业务是否满意, 然后根据该上报的结果计 算流业务的满意率,可以在 UE的上报结果中包括表示对流业务是否满意的 参数, 则流业务的满意率为满意的流业务数与流业务的总用户数的比值, 可以为:
流业务的满意率= (满意的流业务数) I (流业务的总业务数)
3、 高时延敏感交互业务
对于高时延敏感交互业务, 可以釆用以下方法计算其满意率:
( 1 ) 高时延敏感交互业务对于时延要求很高, 而且网络对于这些业务 的数据包緩存也会有时间要求, 一旦数据包在指定的时间内没有被正确传 输, 该数据包就会被丟弃, 不再传输。 系统将会监测高时延敏感交互业务 的丟包, 只要在准入判决时刻之前的指定时间 Τ 内发现有因为超时而发生 Κ次丟包, 就认为不满意, 否则认为满意, 其中时间 Τ以及丟包次数 Κ可 以根据实际业务的时延容忍程度设置。 那么高时延敏感交互业务满意率为 满意的高时延敏感交互业务数与总的高时延敏感交互业务数的比值, 可以 为:
高时延敏感交互业务满意率 = (满意的高时延敏感交互业务数) I (总 的高时延敏感交互业务数)
( 2 ) 由 UE上报其对当前高时延敏感交互业务是否满意, 然后根据该 上报的结果计算高时延敏感交互业务的满意率,可以在 UE的上报结果中包 括表示对高时延敏感交互业务是否满意的参数, 则满意的高时延敏感交互 业务数与高时延敏感交互业务的总用户数的比值, 可以为:
高时延敏感交互业务的满意率= (满意的高时延敏感交互业务数) / (高 时延敏感交互业务的总用户数)
4、 保证速率业务
保证速率业务都有一个 GBR ( Guaranteed Bit Rate )属性, 即必须保证 的速率大小, 所以也称为 GBR业务。 对于 GBR业务, 可以釆用以下方法 计算其满意率:
( 1 )根据加权平均后的总的 GBR业务不满意率确定 GBR业务的满意 率, 例如:
Figure imgf000015_0001
其中 即为 GBR业务满意率(百分比表示 ), A.为第 I个緩存队列 非空的 GBR业务的 GBR速率差额, GBRi为第 个 GBR业务的 GBR速率, ^为第 ζ·个緩存队列非空的 GBR业务的权重。 该方法为先求出每个有数据 要传输的 GBR业务的不满意率(即 GBR速率差额与 GBR速率的比值 ), 然后加权平均得到总的不满意率, 进而推导得出 GBR业务满意率。
其中, Α·的计算方法如下:
Figure imgf000015_0002
其中, ¾为一段时间内统计的第 ,个 GBR业务的吞吐率。 也就是说当 一段时间内统计到的 GBR业务吞吐率高于或等于 GBR速率时, 则该业务 满意,其 GBR速率差额为 0 ; 当一段时间内统计到的 GBR业务吞吐率小于 GBR速率时, 根据实施例方法获得 GBR速率差额。
( 2 )当 GBR业务在一段时间内的吞吐率大于或等于 GBR时认为其满 意, 否则认为不满意。 因此, GBR业务满意率为满意的 GBR业务数与总的 GBR业务数的比值, 可以为:
GBR业务满意率 = (满意的 GBR业务数) / (总的 GBR业务数 ) ( 3 ) 由 UE上报其对当前保证速率业务是否满意, 然后根据该上报的 结果计算保证速率业务的满意率,可以在 UE的上报结果中包括表示对 GBR 业务是否满意的参数, 则 GBR业务的满意率为满意的 GBR业务数与 GBR 业务的总用户数的比值, 可以为:
保证速率业务的满意率= (满意的保证速率业务数 ) / (保证速率业务的 总业务数)
5、 尽力而为业务
尽力而为业务指的是在系统有空闲资源时才获得服务的业务, 这类业 务没有时延要求, 也没有保证速率要求。 为了便于进行质量评估, 引入一 个不为 0的最小速率(Minimum Bit Rate, 简称为 "MinBR" ), 该速率定义 为当所有尽力而为业务均有数据需要传输时, 为每个尽力而为业务提供至 少 MinBR速率, 此时认为尽力而为业务是满意的。 对于尽力而为业务, 可 以釆用以下方法计算其满意率:
( 1 ) 当全部有数据传输需求的尽力而为业务的平均速率超过 MinBR 时满意率为 100 % ; 否则满意率为其平均速率与 MinBR的比值, 可以通过 如下方法获得尽力而为业务满意率:
100%, ≥MinBRxSumNon_GBR
S Non-GBR
,∑ < MinBRx Sum
MinBRxSumNon_GBR 其中, 。„-G ¾即为尽力而为业务满意率, ¾为第 z个緩存队列非空的 尽力而为业务在一段时间内统计的吞吐率, SMWM^C^为緩存队列非空的尽 力而为业务总个数。
( 2 ) 当尽力而为业务在一段时间内的吞吐率大于或等于 MinBR时认 为其满意, 否则认为不满意。 则尽力而为业务满意率为满意的尽力而为业 务数与总的尽力而为业务数的比值, 可以为:
尽力而为业务满意率 = (满意的尽力而为业务数) I (总的尽力而为业 务数)
( 3 ) 由 UE上报其对当前尽力而为业务是否满意, 然后根据该上报的 结果计算尽力而为业务的满意率,可以在 UE的上报结果中包括表示对尽力 而为业务是否满意的参数, 则尽力而为业务的满意率为满意的尽力而为业 务数与尽力而为业务的总用户数的比值, 可以为:
尽力而为业务的满意率= (满意的尽力而为业务数) / (尽力而为业务的 总业务数) 步骤 S203、 若所述第一业务的满意率小于所述第二准入门限, 则拒绝 为第二业务建立承载; 或者, 若所述第一业务的满意率大于或等于所述第 二准入门限, 则允许为第二业务建立承载; 其中, 所述第二业务为请求建 立承载的业务。 具体地, 该第二业务可以是请求建立承载的新业务, 也可 以是请求建立承载的切换业务。
现有技术中, 提供了一种基于业务满意率的准入控制方法, 若已接入 业务的满意率大于或等于准入门限, 则准入新的业务请求; 否则拒绝新的 业务请求, 从而可以回避复杂且不准确的资源占用情况的计算以及预测。 但是, 在系统的实际运行中, 业务满意率低主要包括: 资源受限导致的业 务满意率低、信道质量差导致的业务满意率低、 用户设备 UE能力(例如上 行功率)受限的导致业务满意率低。 其中, 由于信道质量差或 UE能力受限 导致的业务满意率低并不意味着系统资源占用率高。 此时, 若仅釆用基于 业务满意率的准入控制方法, 会导致错误地拒绝新的业务请求, 从而导致 系统容量的降低。 为了避免这一问题, 还可以在进行业务满意率判决之前, 检查系统资源占用率, 但是这样又背离了回避复杂且不准确的资源占用情 况的计算的初衷。
在本发明实施例提供的准入控制的方法中, 创造性地引入已建立承载 的业务的调度等待时间作为准入控制的判决条件。 在目前釆用资源调度算 法 "共享" 资源的无线通信网络中, 当系统资源占用率较高时, 用户需要 排队等待被调度, 相应地调度等待时间会变长; 而当系统资源占用率较低 时,用户可以及时得到调度, 即使存在空口信道质量差或者 UE能力受限的 场景, 调度等待时间依然比较短, 即利用调度等待时间的长短可作为表征 系统资源是否受限的指示。 因此, 釆用本发明实施例提供的准入控制的方 法, 可以无需复杂且不准确的资源占用情况的计算, 就能够有效提高无线 通信网络的系统容量。 可选地, 如图 2-2所示, 本发明实施例提供的准入控制的方法, 除了包 括上述步骤 S201之外, 还可以包括:
步骤 S204、 若所述第一业务的调度等待时间小于或等于所述第一准入 门限, 则允许为所述第二业务建立承载。 可选地, 如图 2-3所示, 本发明实施例提供的准入控制的方法, 除了包 括上述步骤 S201之外, 还可以包括:
步骤 S205、 若所述第一业务的调度等待时间小于或等于所述第一准入 门限, 比较系统资源利用率与第三准入门限。
步骤 S206、 若所述系统资源利用率小于或等于所述第三准入门限, 则 允许为所述第二业务建立承载。
在该可选实施例提供的准入控制的方法中, 当第一业务的调度等待时 间小于或等于第一准入门限时, 仍然需要继续比较系统资源利用率与第三 准入门限。 需要说明的是, 虽然计算系统资源利用率比较复杂, 且不能保 证准确, 但是仍然可以作为补充的准入控制的判决条件。 例如, 当基于调 度等待时间的准入控制的判决条件因某些无法预料的原因失效时, 比较系 统资源利用率与第三准入门限可以作为备选的准入控制的判决条件, 从而 增强准入控制方法的鲁棒性。 可选地, 如图 2-4所示, 本发明实施例提供的准入控制的方法, 除了包 括上述步骤 S201、 步骤 S205之外, 还可以包括:
步骤 S207、 若所述系统资源利用率大于所述第三准入门限, 比较所述 第一业务的满意率与第二准入门限;
步骤 S203、 若所述第一业务的满意率于小于所述第二准入门限, 则拒 绝为所述第二业务建立承载; 或者, 若所述第一业务的满意率大于或等于 所述第二准入门限, 则允许为所述第二业务建立承载。
釆用该可选实施例提供的准入控制的方法, 当系统资源利用率大于第 三准入门限时, 继续比较第一业务的满意率与第二准入门限, 以避免因系 统资源利用率计算不准确而导致的拒绝准入的情况, 从而可以提高无线通 信网络的系统容量。 可选地, 图 2-1至图 2-4所示实施例提供的准入控制的方法, 还可以包 括如下可选技术方案:
接收承载建立请求, 所述承载建立请求用于请求为所述第二业务建立 承载; 若允许为所述第二业务建立承载, 则发送允许建立承载响应; 或者, 若拒绝为所述第二业务建立承载, 则发送拒绝建立承载响应。
可选地, 对于第二业务为新业务和切换业务两者不同情形, 可以釆用 相同的准入门限, 也可以釆用不同的准入门限, 比如, 可以设置切换业务 的准入门限低于新业务的准入门限,也就是说,对于相同 QoS类别的业务, 存在切换业务被准入, 但是新业务被拒绝的情况, 这样可以保证切换业务 可以被优先准入。 此外, 对于不同优先级别的第二业务也可以釆用不同的准入门限, 例 如, 可以设置金牌(高优先级)用户的准入门限低于铜牌(低优先级)用 户, 即, 对于相同 QoS类别的业务, 存在金牌业务被准入, 但是铜牌业务 被拒绝的情况。 这样可以保证优先级较高的业务可以较容易地被准入, 从 而可以对不同优先级的业务实现差异化的服务。
进一步地, 从兼容性角度考虑, 在上述实施例提供的准入控制的方法 中, 还可以接收其他模块生成的资源受限指示。 当接收到资源受限指示, 例如 license受限指示, 此时, 即使业务的满意率为 100%, 也不能对新业务 或切换业务准入。 图 3为本发明实施例提供的一种准入控制的方法的流程示意图。如图 3 所示, 本发明实施例可以包括:
步骤 S301、 接收第二业务的承载建立请求, 所述承载建立请求用于请 求为该第二业务建立承载。 具体地, 该第二业务可以是请求建立承载的新 业务, 也可以是请求建立承载的切换业务。
步骤 S302、 判断第一业务的调度等待时间是否大于第一准入门限。 若第一业务的调度等待时间大于该第一准入门限, 则执行步骤 S303; 若第一业务的调度等待时间小于或等于该第一准入门限,则执行步骤 S304。
步骤 S303、 判断第一业务的满意率的高低。
例如, 可以比较第一业务的满意率与第二准入门限, 若第一业务的满 意率大于或等于第二准入门限, 则认为第一业务的满意率高, 执行步骤 S304; 若第一业务的满意率小于第二准入门限, 则认为第一业务的满意率 低, 执行步骤 S305。
步骤 S304、 拒绝为第二业务建立承载。
步骤 S305、 允许为第二业务建立承载。

步骤 S403、 检查系统资源占用率的高低。
例如, 可以比较系统资源占用率与第三准入门限, 若系统资源占用率 大于第三准入门限, 则认为系统资源占用率高, 执行步骤 S404; 若系统资 源占用率小于或等于第三准入门限, 则认为系统资源占用率低, 执行步骤 S405。
步骤 S404、 判断第一业务的满意率的高低。
例如, 可以比较第一业务的满意率与第二准入门限, 若第一业务的满 意率大于或等于第二准入门限, 则认为第一业务的满意率高, 执行步骤 S405 ; 若第一业务的满意率小于第二准入门限, 则认为第一业务的满意率 低, 执行步骤 S406。

步骤 S406、 拒绝为第二业务建立承载。
