It is obvious that the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, but not all of the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative efforts are within the scope of the present invention.

The analyzer Analyzer in each embodiment of the present invention is responsible for collecting information returned by each node, for example, service bearer information, PCC rule execution information, etc., and policy and charging control (PCC) can be implemented according to the collected information. The problems found during the execution of the rules are intervened in advance; the results of the PCC rules can be collected, analyzed, optimized, and optimized from the network perspective, such as providing the UE's service information by unicast. Switch to the decision information of the broadcast mode.

An embodiment of the present invention provides a method for processing information. The execution body of the method is a Analyzer. As shown in FIG. 1, the method includes:

Step 101: Receive PCC request information sent by the first functional entity.

Further, the first functional entity may be a Policy charging and rules function (PCRF), or may be a network capability open server Networker ₀ PCC request information including PCC policy request information or PCC audit request. information. When the first functional entity is the PCRF, the PCRF sends the PCC policy request information to the Analyzer. When the first functional entity is the Networker, the Networker sends the PCC audit request information to the Analyze. In this step, the content carried in the PCC request information includes the user service. Information, PCC rule information, etc. The PCC rules include the detection rules of the service data flow, whether to gate, the quality of service QoS corresponding to the service data flow, and the flow-based charging rules. For example, charging rules can be charged based on time, traffic, events, and the like.

Step 102: Collect information according to the PCC request information, and obtain the collected information.

In the prior art, the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) network provides a unified architecture of the PCC, performs policy control on the resources of the user service flow, and implements charging based on the user service flow. At this time, it is impossible to know whether the execution result of the PCC rule is in line with expectations. The solution provided by the embodiment of the present invention can enable the solution to obtain the execution result of the PCC rule when the information is collected according to the content in the PCC request information.

It should be noted that the sequence of step 101 and step 102 is not inevitable, and the Ana lyzer may first collect information, collect all the information that can be collected, and store the collected information for information; and then, receive the information. When the PCC requests information, it can search for the required information in the information storage according to the PCC request information, and perform information analysis.

Step 103: Perform information analysis and generate an optimization policy according to the PCC request information and the collected information.

The solution provided by the embodiment of the present invention not only can obtain the execution result of the PCC rule by adding the Ana lyzer to the wireless network, but also can analyze and optimize the execution result of the PCC rule, thereby implementing the optimization process of the service flow.

For example, in an application scenario where the VIP user video experience QoE matches the PCC rule, the Ana lyzer can perform PCC rule auditing and video experience according to the content information in the PCC request information and the information received from each node (Qua ty of Exper) Ience, QoE) identifies and generates suggested PCC rules and suggested node parameter settings based on PCC rule audit results and QoE recognition results.

Step 104: Send PCC response information including an optimization policy to the second functional entity, so that the second functional entity performs performance optimization according to the PCC response information.

In this step, if the first functional entity is a PCRF, the second functional entity is the first functional entity; if the first functional entity is a Networker, the second functional entity includes the first functional entity, the PCRF, and the core. A Core (CN) node node and a Radio Access Network (RAN) node node.

After generating the optimization policy, the Ana lyzer sends the PCC response information including the optimization policy to the second functional entity, so that the second functional entity optimizes the service flow according to the received PCC response information, thereby implementing the performance of the second functional entity. Optimization.

The information processing method provided by the embodiment of the present invention can collect information according to the received PCC request information, and obtain the collected information, so that the embodiment of the present invention can know the implementation of the PCC rule. Line results. Then, according to the PCC request information and the collected information, the information analysis is performed to generate an optimization strategy. Finally, the PCC response information including the optimization policy is sent to the second functional entity, so that the optimization of the service flow can be implemented. The present invention provides a method for processing information. The application scenario of the method may be that the VIP user video experience QoE matches the PCC rule. The execution body of the method is Ana lyzer. As shown in FIG. 2, the method includes:

Step 201: The Ana lyzer receives the PCC audit request information sent by the Networker.

Networker can provide an application call interface (API) for applications outside the 3GPP network.

The PCC audit request information carries PCC audit content, business information, user information, audit time, and expected QoE level. The audit time is set according to the demand. There is no specific limit here. For example, the audit time can be 19: 00-21: 00 on weekdays. The service request can be a VIP user's Hyper Text Transfer Protocol (HTTP) live video service experience. The expected QoE rating can be greater than 4 for the expected QoE M0S value at 80% of the observation period.

Step 202: The Ana lyzer sends an information collection request to the PCRF according to the PCC audit request information, and collects the PCC rule execution information returned by the PCRF during the auditing time.

The PCRF may determine the PCC rule to be executed according to the limitation of the user accessing the network, the operator policy, the user subscription data, and the service information currently being performed by the user. The PCC rules include the detection rules of the service data flow, whether to gate, the quality of service Qos corresponding to the service data flow, and the flow-based charging rules. For example, charging rules can be charged based on time, traffic, events, and the like.

When the PCRF receives the information collection request sent by Ana lyzer, it collects the PCC rules brought by the current live video service of the VIP user.

Step 203: The Ana lyzer sends an information collection request to the CN node, and collects information returned by the CN node during the auditing time.

In this step, the information returned by the CN node includes core network node information and pipe information. And carrying information.

For example, in this step, when the CN node receives the information collection request sent by the Ana lyzer, it collects the node load information and the like brought by the HTTP live video service of the current VIP user.

Step 204: The Ana lyzer sends an information collection request to the RAN node to collect information returned by the RAN node.

In this step, the information returned by the RAN node includes RAN side radio access technology information, RAN side node information, pipe information, ^7- pack information, and heterogeneous network Hetnet information. Hetnet information includes: Hetnet basic information, for example, Radio Acces s Technology (RAT), roaming mode, etc.

For example, when the RAN node receives the information collection request sent by the Ana lyzer, it collects the node load information and RAT information brought by the current live video service of the VIP user.

It should be noted that the steps 202 to 204 are parallel steps, and the steps that must be performed when the Ana lyzer collects information according to the PCC audit request information. The sequence of the steps 202-204 is not limited in this solution.

Further, in this embodiment, step 205 is also required to be performed while performing steps 201-204.

Step 205: The Ana lyzer sends an information collection request to the video experience report server to collect the QoE information returned by the video experience report server.

Step 206: Ana lyzer performs PCC rule auditing and QoE identification according to the information reported by each node.

For example, the PCC rule execution information returned from the PCRF can determine that the quality of service (Qua ty of Serv ice, Qos) set by the PCRF is 800 kbps for the HTTP live broadcast service of the VIP user on the working day 19: 00-21: 00. The maximum bandwidth is 1500 kbps. From the information returned by the CN node and the RAN node, the RAN node and the RAN node can be determined to be lightly loaded. In this step, the QoE M0S value of the user can be determined from the QoE information returned by the video experience report server. 80% of cases are less than 3.

Step 207: Ana lyzer generates a recommendation according to the PCC audit result and the QoE recognition result. PCC rules and suggested node parameter settings.

For example, based on the PCC audit results analysis, it can be known that the reason for the low QoE M0S value is

The bandwidth setting of the PCRF is low. The recommended PCC rules can be generated based on the analysis result. For example, on the working day 19: 00-21: 00 VIP user's HTTP live broadcast service Qos is guaranteed bandwidth of 1000kbps, maximum bandwidth 2000kbps _o

Step 208: The Ana lyzer sends the suggested PCC rule to the PCRF.

Step 209: The Ana lyzer sends the suggested node parameter setting to the CN node.

Step 210: The Ana lyzer sends the suggested node parameter setting to the RAN node.

Step 211, Ana lyzer sends a PCC audit reply to Networker.

Further, when Networker receives the PCC audit response sent by Ana lyzer,

Networker sends the PCC audit response through the API to the application outside the 3GPP network so that the service flow can be optimized.

Optionally, the step 208-step 211 is a parallel step, and the embodiment of the present invention does not limit the sequence of the step 208-step 21 1 .

The method for processing information provided by the embodiment of the present invention can be sent according to the collected networker.

The PCC audits the request information, collects the information, and obtains the collected information; then performs PCC audit and QoE identification based on the collected information, generates recommended PCC rules, and suggests node parameter settings,

The embodiment of the present invention provides a method for processing information. The application scenario of the method may be a dynamic broadcast decision. The execution body of the method is an Analyzer. As shown in FIG. 3, the method includes: Step 301: Ana lyzer receives the PCRF. The PCC policy request information sent.

The PCC policy request information carries service information, user information, and preset PCC rules of the PCRF. The PCC rules include the detection rules of the service data flow, whether to gate, the service quality Qos corresponding to the service data flow, and the flow-based charging rules. For example, charging rules can be charged based on time, traffic, events, and the like.

For example, in an embodiment where a dynamic broadcast decision is made, Ana lyzer receives the PCC sent by the PCRF. In the case of the policy request information, the video ur 1 and the UE1 identity number (Identity id, ID) requested by the UE1 are obtained, and the video ur1 and the UE2 ID requested by the UE2 are required to be noted. In the embodiment of the present invention, at least two are required. UE information. At the same time, Ana lyzer can also know the default PCC rules of PCRF.

Step 302: The Ana lyzer sends an information collection request to the Networker according to the PCC policy request information, and collects the application layer information returned by the Networker.

The application layer information returned by Networker includes service type, media description information, and user information.

Step 303: The Ana lyzer sends a message collection request to the PCRF, and collects the PCRF to return the User Equipment (UE) information and the user subscription information.

In this step, the user UE information may be the UE1 ID and the unit ID where the user is located; the UE2 ID and the unit ID of the user. The user subscription information includes whether the user supports the broadcast service, the user's quality of service Qos information, and the user's classification information.

Step 304: The Ana lyzer sends an information collection request to the CN node to collect information returned by the CN node.

In this step, the information returned by the CN node includes core network node information, pipe information, and bearer information.

The core network node information includes: node capability information, node load information. And the node load information includes the number of concurrent users and the proportion of node load.

The core network pipe information includes: Broadcast service pipe capability information.

The core network bearer information includes: Quality of service information such as the number of connections, bandwidth guarantees, and restrictions.

For example, by receiving node load information, it is determined whether the UE is in the same single frequency network area and the same broadcast month service area. The UE in this step includes at least two UEs, such as UE1 and UE2.

Step 305: The Ana lyzer sends an information collection request to the RAN node to collect information returned by the RAN node.

In this step, the information returned by the RAN node includes RAN side radio access technology information, RAN side node information, pipe information, bearer information, and heterogeneous network Hetnet information. It should be noted that, in step 302, step 305 is a parallel step, which is a step that must be performed when the information is collected by the Ana lyzer according to the PCC policy request information. The sequence of steps 302-305 is not limited in this solution.

Step 306: Ana lyzer performs information analysis and generates an optimization strategy according to the information collected from each node.

In this step, the Ana lyzer judges whether the UEs with the same service information are in the same single frequency network area and the same broadcast service area according to the information collected from the respective nodes. The requested service information is the requested video service URL.

For example, when the video service URLs requested by UE1 and UE2 are the same, that is, UE1 and UE2 request to view the same video ur1, it is determined according to the collected information whether UE1 and UE2 are in the same single frequency network area and the same broadcast service area. When the UE is in the same single frequency network area and the same broadcast service area, the Ana lyzer generates decision information for switching the requested video service URL of the UE from the unicast mode to the broadcast mode; when the UE is in the same single frequency network area, but When not in the same broadcast service area, the Ana lyzer sends an indication to the PCRF to create a new broadcast service area, and generates decision information for switching the video service of the UE with the same video service URL from the unicast mode to the broadcast mode. By switching the generated video service of the same UE with the same video service URL from the unicast mode to the broadcast mode, the wireless network can dynamically select the transmission path with the lowest transmission cost.

At the same time, Ana lyzer generates suggested PCC rules based on the information collected from each node; and/or generates a recommended radio access technology RAT type based on the information collected from each node, and carries the same video service URL to be requested The video service of the UE is switched from the unicast mode to the decision information of the broadcast mode.

Step 307: Ana lyzer sends the generated decision information to the PCRF to perform performance optimization based on the decision information.

In this step, when the PCRF receives the decision information, it interacts with the core network node to establish a core network bearer. The Broadcast Service Center (BM-SC) then interacts with the base station to establish an access network bearer and initiate broadcast services. Then carry on the data transmission, so that The UE1 and the UE2 can obtain the file transmission object corresponding to the video through the broadcast service bearer.

It should be noted that Ana lyzer can present the optimization strategy generated by information analysis, the generated optimization strategy and the performance optimization results, and send it to the operator's operation support system center. In order for the operator to provide third party with data support based on business flow billing.

The method for information processing provided by the embodiment of the present invention can know the execution result of the PCC rule. In addition, the UEs with the same video service URL are placed in the same broadcast service area for optimization, which can implement the problem of the PCC rule execution process in advance, and the wireless network can dynamically select the transmission path with the lowest transmission cost. An embodiment of the present invention provides an apparatus for processing information. As shown in FIG. 4, the apparatus includes: a receiving unit 401, an obtaining unit 402, a processing unit 403, and a sending unit 404.

The receiving unit 401 is configured to receive a policy and charging control PCC request information sent by the first functional entity, where the PCC request information includes PCC policy request information or PCC audit request information.
