Description

保证业务数椐连续性的方法、 控制器及网关 技术领域
本发明涉及通信领域, 具体而言, 涉及具体涉及用户执行 SIPTO时, 一种保证业务数据连续性的方法、 控制器及网关。 背景技术
第三代合作伙伴计划(3GPP, 3rd Generation Partnership Project, )中定 义的选择 IP流量卸载( SIPTO, Selected IP Traffic Offload )是一种在靠近 用户附着到接入网络的位置, 对特定的业务进行分流的方法。 具体而言, 除了支持移动核心网络的接入以外, 移动通信系统(包括家用基站系统) 还可以支持 IP分流功能, 在无线侧网元有 IP分流能力、 用户签约允许 IP 分流的条件下, 可实现移动终端对家用网络其他 IP设备或者互联网的本地 接入。
软件定义网络( SDN, Software Defined Network ), 是一种新型网络创 新架构, 其核心技术 OPENFLOW (开放流)通过将网络设备控制面与数据 面分离开来, 从而实现了网络流量的灵活控制, 为核心网络及应用的创新 提供了良好的平台。
图 1是一种基于 SDN的实现 SIPTO的架构示意图, 图中 IP分流的实 现通过增设分流网关提供对 IP分流技术的有力支持, 分流网关是作为本地 接入到外部网络(例如 Internet ) 的网关, 图中分流网关为服务网关和本地 网关。 采用控制平面和数据转发平面分离的思想, 将服务网关 (S-GW, Serving Gateway )和分组数据网关( P-GW, Packet Data Network Gateway ) 和 /或本地网关 (L-GW, Local Gateway ) 的控制功能与数据转发功能分离 开来, 控制面由控制器统一实现, 用户面 (也称作转发面或者数据面) 由 通一网关受控于控制器的指令指令实现, 同时, 用户面网关也与现有的无 线侧网元对接,无线侧网元为演进无线基站( eNB, evolved NodeB )或 HeNB 家庭演进无线基站( Home eNB )和 /或家用基站网关。 图 1所示的各网关均 为统一的用户面网关, 为了描述方便, 本文仍然用 S-GW、 LGW和 PGW 来表示用户面上由统一网关实现的对应 SGW、LGW和 PGW的用户面功能。
当前系统支持 S-GW的重定位操作,见图 2中的示意图(注:图中 MME 和无线侧网元之间、 控制器和用户面网关之间的线未画出), 用户设备可能 发生移动, 到达新的无线侧网元覆盖区域, 控制器将为用户设备选择新的 S-GW, S-GW重定位过程将被执行。 S-GW重定位过程中, 根据现有系统 的要求, LGW/PGW作为锚点网关, 是不能改变的。 因此后续运行的 IP数 据业务将通过目标 S-GW回送到与源 S-GW合设的 L-GW1进行对外路由, 而对于目标 S-GW来说, L-GW1不是最优网关( L-GW2才是), 这就造成 数据业务在核心网中的迂回转发,也即通过 L-GW1的路径并非最优路径(如 图 2所示 粗虚线为非最优路径, 细虚线为最优的路径)。 非最优路径会造 成网络负荷加重, 数据业务传输延迟增大等缺点。
除了移动性导致了非最有路径的情况, 还有一种情况为, 即使终端没 有发生移动, 但是由于网络的负荷状态是不断变化的, 统一网关的负荷状 态可能出现不均匀的分配。 因此某一时刻, 可能某些网关的负荷超载, 导 致用户的业务体验不佳。 这种情况下, 控制器需要为该用户的 PDN连接选 择另外一个相对较优的统一网关来执行 SGW或者 PGW用户面的功能。
根据现有的知识我们可以知道, 在为 PDN连接的选择最优网关, 并将 PDN连接切换到最优网关上时, 如何保证业务数据不丟失,保证用户体验, 是一个非常关键的问题。
针对上述问题, 目前尚未提出有效的解决方案。 发明内容
有鉴于此, 本发明实施例提供了一种保证业务数据连续性的方法、 控 制器及网关, 至少解决了非优选路径操作网络负荷加重, 数据业务传输延 迟增大等的问题。

需要说明的是, 在不冲突的情况下, 本申请中的实施例及实施例中的 特征可以相互组合。 下面将参考附图并结合实施例来详细说明本发明。
本发明实施例提供了一种保证业务数据连续性的方法, 图 3是根据本 发明实施例的方法流程图, 如图 3所示, 包括如下的步骤:
步骤 S302. 控制器判断终端分组数据网络 PDN连接的路径 /本地网关 不是最优时, 所述控制器向统一网关查询是否有数据传输;
步骤 S304. 若查询结果为无所述数据传输时, 所述控制器通知移动管 理实体 MME发起分组数据网络 PDN连接重建流程。
为了使本发明的技术方案和实现方法更加清楚, 下面将结合优选的实 施例对其实现过程进行详细描述。
实施例一
根据本发明的 SIPTO场景下一种优选的流程步骤描述如下:
步骤 1,在包含 S-GW重定位的过程中,控制器收到表示需要 S-GW重 定位的建立会话请求后, 判断包含目标 S-GW的路径是否为最优路径, 即
LGW是不是最佳网关;
需要说明的是, 用户移动到目标 S-GW的服务范围内, 用户经无线侧 网元到目标 S-GW 已是最优路径, 造成非最优路径的原因是本地网关不是 最优的本地网关。
步骤 2,如果不是最优路径,那么控制器向本地网关发送查询请求消息, 用来查询一段时间内是否有用户的数据正在传输;
步骤 3, 时间到达后, 本地网关向控制器发送查询响应消息; 步骤 4, 如果查询响应消息表明没有数据正在传输, 那么控制器向移动 性管理实体发送重建指示消息; 移动性管理实体收到后, 发起携带重建指 示原因值的 PDN连接断开的过程。
本实施例需扩展移动性管理实体与控制器之间和控制器与用户面网关 LGW之间的消息, 新增控制器向移动性管理实体发送的重建指示消息, 移 动性管理实体收到后, 发起携带有重建指示的 PDN连接释放过程。 新增控 制器和本地网关之间的查询请求消息和查询响应消息, 用于查询和表明一 段时间内是否有用户的数据正在传输。
另外, 需要补充的是, 在 UE重新发起 PDN连接建立后, 控制器会根 据现有的操作为新建的 PDN连接选择最优的网关。
图 4是根据本发明的基于图 1所示架构的一种包含 S-GW重定位的切 换过程。 论述的是本发明基于图 1 的架构的具体实施。 图 4只画出切换过 程中与本发明相关的消息。
步骤描述如下:
步骤 401, 目标无线侧网元向移动性管理实体发送路径转换请求; 步骤 402, 移动性管理实体向控制器发送建立会话请求;
步骤 403,控制器收到表示需要 S-GW重定位的建立会话请求后,选择 目标服务网关, 控制器根据自己的全网拓朴的知识判断当前是否是最优路 径(见注 1 );
步骤 404a, 如果控制器判断用户经无线侧网元、 目标服务网关到本地 网关不是最优路径,也即此时的本地网关 LGW对于目标服务网关来说不是 最优的, 那么控制器向本地网关发送查询请求消息, 查询在一段时间内是 否有用户的数据在传输, 时间可以由控制器设置。 查询请求消息为通过扩 展 OPENFLOW协议消息, 扩展的信元有: 查询指示以及查询时间等。 如 果控制器判断当前是最优路径, 那么本步骤不发送消息; 步骤 404b, 控制器向目标服务网关下发流表;
步骤 404c, 控制器向本地网关下发流表;
步骤 405, 控制器向移动性管理实体发送建立会话响应;
步骤 406, 移动性管理实体向目标无线侧网元发送路径转换确认; 步骤 407, 如果本地网关收到步骤 404a的消息, 本地网关 /统一网关判 断当前一段时间是否有数据。 具体可以为:
从本地网关 /统一网关执行所述判断操作起向前的一段时间内; 从本地网关 /统一网关执行所述判断操作起向后的一段时间内; 从本地网关 /统一网关执行所述判断操作起向前和向后延伸一段时间 内;
在本地网关 /统一网关执行所述判断的即时速时间点 .
判断方法举例如下, 本地网关判断当前一段时间 (假设为 T1 )是否有 数据, 在本地网关中为每个 UE的每个 PDN连接设置计时器, 从接收到该 UE的数据 (上行或下行)开始计时, 到下一次接收到数据时给计时器置 0。 本地网关收到查询请求消息后, 比较 T1和当前计时器的值 T2, 若 T1小于 等于 Τ2, 就认为在这段时间内该 UE的该 PDN连接没有数据传输; 若 T1 大于 T2, 本地网关等待 T1-T2的时间, 判断在这段时间该 PDN连接有没 有数据。 本地网关向控制器发送查询响应消息, 查询响应消息为扩展的 OPENFLOW协议的消息, 扩展的信元有查询结果(有无数据传输)等; 步骤 408, 如果控制器收到来自本地网关的查询响应消息, 并且查询响 应消息表示这段时间没有数据, 那么控制器向移动性管理实体发送重建指 示消息,重建指示消息要包含的信息有:重建原因值,用户标识, APN( Access Point Name, 接入点名)等; 如果查询响应消息表示用户一段时间内有数据 正在传输, 则控制器根据配置, 可以再次发送查询请求或者什么都不做; 步骤 409, 如果移动性管理实体收到来自控制器的重建指示消息, 那么 移动性管理实体发起携带有重建指示的 PDN连接释放过程;
步骤 410, 步骤 409的过程完成后, 用户重新发起 PDN连接建立。 需要说明的是, 控制器根据来自本地网关的查询响应消息, 向移动性 管理实体发送重建指示消息, 可以发生在切换过程中, 也可以发生在切换 完成后。
本实施例同样适用于包含 S-GW重定位的位置更新过程和移动性管理 实体改变的包含 S-GW重定位的切换过程, 这时, 步骤 301的消息分别为 位置请求消息和源移动性管理实体向目标移动性管理实体发送的前传重定 位请求消息。
本发明的实施例一同样适用于非 SIPTO场景下的位置更新、包含 S-GW 重定位的过程和 MME改变的包含 S-GW重定位的过程, 此时实施例一中 的本地网关为 P-GW。
本实施例还有一种变种实现, 也即步骤 S408中携带的"重建指示信息" 由步骤 S405携带给 MME。这就要求步骤 405的消息必须等待步骤 S407的 查询结果, 要求时序上步骤 405需发生在步骤 S407之后。
图中的 S402步和 S405部消息在控制器有更换的情况下是创建会话请 求和创建会话响应, 如果控制器没有更换的情况下, 应该为修改承载请求 和修改承载响应消息。 图中的消息名称仅为示意, 具体应该参照此处说明。
实施例二
本发明同样适用于非 SIPTO的漫游场景或者与传统网络互通的场景, 假设拜访网络是基于 SDN的 EPC ( Evolved Packet Core, 演进分组核心网) 架构, 归属网络是传统的 EPC架构或基于 SDN的 EPC架构, 根据本发明 可以为用户选择最优网关。
根据本发明的一个流程步骤描述如下:
步骤 1,拜访网络中的控制器检测当前为用户服务的 S-GW或者 P-GW 是否最优网关;
步骤 2, 如果控制器检测到 S-GW或者 PGW不是最优网关, 那么控制 器向 S-GW发送查询请求消息(因为是漫游场景, PGW不在控制器控制范 围内), 查询当前时段是否有用户的数据正在传输;
步骤 3, S-GW向控制器返回查询响应消息;
步骤 4, 如果来自 S-GW的查询响应消息表明用户当前时段没有数据, 那么控制器向移动性管理实体发送重建指示消息, 移动性管理实体收到后, 发起携带重建指示原因值的 PDN连接断开的过程。
需要说明的是, 触发控制器检测当前 S-GW或 P-GW是否为最优网关 的事件可以是: 切换、 位置更新、 服务请求或者控制器定时检测。 如果是 切换或者是位置更新, 服务请求等操作触发的流程, 那么控制器向移动管 理实体发送的重建指示信息可以是通过新增的信令, 也可以是在现有的消 息中携带指示信息。 图 5是根据本发明的一个具体流程图, 图中 P-GW为 传统网络中的 P-GW或者基于 SDN架构中的用户面网关; 服务网关位于拜 访网络, 受拜访网络控制器控制。
步骤描述:
步骤 501, 控制器判断当前 S-GW或者 P-GW不是最优网关; 步骤 502, 控制器向服务网关发送查询请求消息, 查询在一段时间内 是否有用户的数据在传输, 时间可以由控制器设置, 查询请求消息为 OPENFLOW协议消息, 包含的信息有: 查询指示, 查询时间等;
步骤 503, 如果服务网关收到步骤 502的消息,服务网关在规定时间检 测数据业务后 (检测机制同步骤 407 ), 服务网关向控制器发送查询响应消 息, 查询响应消息为 OPENFLOW协议消息, 包含的信息有: 查询结果(即 是否有数据);
步骤 504, 如果控制器收到来自服务网关的查询响应消息, 并且查询响 应消息表示这段时间没有数据, 那么控制器向移动性管理实体发送重建指 示消息, 重建指示消息要包含的信息有: 重建原因值, 用户标识, APN等; 如果查询响应消息表示用户一段时间内有数据正在传输, 则控制器根据配 置, 可以再次发送查询请求或者什么都不做;
如果上述流程是切换或者是位置更新, 服务请求等操作触发的流程, 那么控制器向移动管理实体发送的重建指示信息可以是通过新增的信令, 也可以是在现有的消息中携带指示信息。 步骤 504的发送机制同图 4 中的 步骤 405和步骤 408的关系。
步骤 505, 如果移动性管理实体收到来自控制器的重建指示消息, 那么 移动性管理实体发起携带有重建指示的 PDN连接释放过程;
步骤 506,步骤 505的过程完成后,用户发起 PDN连接建立过程, PDN 连接建立过程中控制器为用户选择最优网关。
实施例三
本发明同样适用于考虑 P-GW的负载均衡为用户选择最优网关的场景。 控制器考虑到 P-GW的负载均衡, 选择相对空闲的 P-GW为用户服务。 对 接入过载 P-GW的用户, 查询一段时间内是否有数据传输, 如果没有数据 传输, 那么控制器向 MME发送重建指示消息, MME发起 PDN连接断开 过程, 然后, 用户重新发起到空闲 P-GW的 PDN连接建立过程。
根据本发明的另一个流程步骤描述:
步骤 1, 控制器定时检测 P-GW的负载;
步骤 2,控制器向处于过载状态的 P-GW发送查询请求消息, 查询一段 时间内是否有用户数据正在传输;
步骤 3, 时间到达后, P-GW向控制器发送查询响应消息;
步骤 4, 如果查询响应消息表明没有数据正在传输, 那么控制器向移动 性管理实体发送重建指示消息, 移动性管理实体收到后, 发起携带重建指 示原因值的 PDN连接断开的过程。 如果该过程中恰巧有切换或者是位置更 新发生, 服务请求等操作触发的流程, 那么控制器向移动管理实体发送的 重建指示信息可以是通过新增的信令, 也可以是在现有的消息中携带指示 信息。
图 6是根据本发明的考虑 P-GW负载均衡为用户选择最优网关, 保证 业务数据连续性的方法的流程图, 步骤描述:
步骤 601,控制器定时检测 P-GW的负载,检测到源 P-GW处于过载状 态;
步骤 602,对于接入到源 P-GW的用户,控制器向源 P-GW发送查询请 求消息, 查询一段时间内是否有用户的数据正在传输, 查询请求消息为扩 展的 OPENFLOW协议消息, 扩展的信元有: 查询指示, 查询时间等; 步骤 603,如果源 P-GW收到步骤 602的消息,本地网关在规定时间检 测数据业务后 (检测机制同步骤 407 ), 向控制器发送查询响应消息, 查询 响应消息为 OPENFLOW协议消息, 包含的信息有: 查询结果(即是否有 数据 );
步骤 604,如果控制器收到来自源 P-GW的查询响应消息, 并且查询响 应消息表示这段时间没有数据, 那么控制器向移动性管理实体发送重建指 示消息, 重建指示消息包含的信息有: 重建原因值, 用户标识, APN等; 步骤 605, 如果移动性管理实体收到来自控制器的重建指示消息, 那么 移动性管理实体发起携带有重建指示的 PDN连接释放过程;
步骤 606, 步骤 605的过程完成后, 用户重新发起 PDN连接建立, 重 新建立 PDN连接过程中, 控制器为用户选择处于空闲状态的目标 P-GW。
需要说明的是, 在附图的流程图示出的步骤可以在诸如一组计算机可 执行指令的计算机系统中执行, 并且, 虽然在流程图中示出了逻辑顺序, 但是在某些情况下, 可以以不同于此处的顺序执行所示出或描述的步骤。 本发明实施例还提供了一种控制器, 可以用于实现上述方法。 图 7是 对应上述实施例的结构框图, 如图 7 所示, 包括: 在终端发生移动性事件 的情况下,
