Description

基于MBMS承载的集群通信中拥塞状态上报方法及系统、存储介质 技术领域
本发明涉及基于多媒体广播多播业务(MBMS,Multimedia Broadcast Multicast Service)承载的集群通信技术,尤其涉及一种基于MBMS承载的集群通信中拥塞状态上报方法及系统、存储介质。
背景技术
集群通信系统是为了满足行业用户指挥调度需求而开发的、面向特定行业应用的专用无线通信系统,系统中大量无线用户共享少量无线信道,以指挥调度为主体应用,是一种多用途、高效能的无线通信系统。集群通信系统在政府部门、公共安全、应急通信、电力、民航、石油化工和军队等领域有着广泛的应用市场。集群系统区别于公众系统的特性在于,集群系统需要具备高效的指挥调度特性,并且要求网络具有高可靠性和安全性。
在3GPP LTE中集群通信称为组通信服务能力GCSE,图1示出了LTE GCSE的系统架构。
为了有效地利用移动网络资源,第三代合作伙伴计划(3GPP,3rd Generation Partnership Project)提出了多媒体广播多播业务(MBMS,Multimedia Broadcast Multicast Service),该业务是一种从一个数据源向多个目标移动终端传送数据的技术,实现了网络(包括核心网和接入网)资源的共享,提高了网络资源(尤其是空中接口资源)的利用率。3GPP定义的MBMS业务不仅能够实现纯文本低速率的消息类组播和广播,而且还能够实现高速多媒体业务的广播和组播,提供多种丰富的视频、音频和多媒体业务,这无疑顺应了未来移动数据发展的趋势,为3G的发展提供了更好的 业务前景。图2示出了LTE中MBMS的架构示意图。
目前业界正在讨论采用MBMS技术实现集群通信的可能性。针对特定的集群UE,可以通过以下两种方式的任意一种接收所需的集群业务:多播,单播。其中多播方式即通过MBMS承载接收集群业务,此时需要UE具备MBMS接收能力。

步骤101,GCS AS通过MBMS承载发送集群业务。
在步骤101开始之前,集群UE首先到该集群业务所对应的GCS AS进行注册。这样GCS AS可以知道一共有多少UE加入了某个集群业务。
所述MBMS承载在所述集群业务开始前已预建立,本发明实施例中,所谓预建立是指,某个集群尚未开始,提前建立了MBMS承载。
本发明实施例中,以下描述表示同一概念:MBMS承载、MBSFN承载、多播承载、点到多点PTM承载。

需要指出的是,上述的集群业务也可以是普通MBMS业务,普通MBMS业务和集群业务可通过不同的QCI参数区别,对于普通MBMS业务,相应的MBMS承载不需要预建立。
步骤102,网络节点检测到拥塞和/或过载。
所述网络节点包括:eNodeB,MCE,移动管理单元(MME,Mobility Management Entity),MBMS网关(MBMS GW,MBMS GateWay),或广 播组播业务中心(BM-SC,Broadcast Multicast Service Center)。
所述拥塞是指网络中的控制面信令和/或用户面负载达到预设门限,所述过载是指网络中的控制面信令和/或用户面负载超过了网络节点的负荷,网络节点无法继续处理额外的信令和/或额外的用户面负载。
步骤103,网络节点向AS发送该网络节点的拥塞/过载指示信息。
所述拥塞/过载指示信息包括以下至少一种:拥塞/过载标识,MBMS业务区域标识(SAI,Service Area Identifier),MBMS业务标识(TMGI,Temporary Mobile Group Identity),拥塞/过载开始/结束标识。
其中,拥塞/过载标识用于指示网络拥塞还是过载;SAI用于指示拥塞/过载影响的业务区域;TMGI用于指示拥塞/过载影响的集群业务。
拥塞/过载开始/结束的内容可以包括以下至少一种:开始(用1或true指示),结束(用0或false指示)。
拥塞/过载开始/结束,即,拥塞/过载开始等效于当前出现拥塞/过载,拥塞/过载结束等效于当前没有出现拥塞/过载或已开始的拥塞/过载结束。
所述节点拥塞是指网络中的控制面信令和/或用户面数据负载达到一定预设门限,
所述节点过载是指网络中的控制面信令和/或用户面负载超过了网络节点的负荷,网络节点无法继续处理额外的控制面信令和/或额外的用户面数据负载。
上报MBMS业务拥塞/过载信息的内容为:假设拥塞用C指示,过载用O指示,举例:
{SA1:TMGI 1,TMGI2,TMGI3;C,true}
{SA2:TMGI5,TMGI6;O,false}
{SA3:TMGI10;C,false}
上例中SA1中的TMGI1,TMGI2,TMGI3发生拥塞;SA2中的TMGI5, TMGI6过载结束;SA3中的TMGI10拥塞结束。
当过载指示O为1(True)的情况下,可以不再发送拥塞指示C;或者虽然发送了拥塞指示C,UE可以忽略该指示。
所述拥塞/过载业务包括以下任意一种:普通MBMS业务,特定的集群业务。考虑特定的集群业务(如PTT,Push To Talk)可能发生拥塞/过载,根据业务的QoS信息,如QCI或ARP,确定发生拥塞/过载的业务是特定的集群业务,由于eNB不知道业务的QoS信息,在eNB有两种上报拥塞/过载方式,分别为:1)eNB上报所有发生拥塞/过载的业务标识TMGI到MCE,根据特定业务的TMGI(MCE根据QCI/ARP与TMGI的对应关系),MCE选择发生拥塞/过载的特定业务的TMGI上报到GCS AS;
2)AS请求需要上报状态的SAI和TMGI,通过路径AS->BM-SC->MBMS GW->MME->MCE->eNB发送请求消息到eNB,eNB通过eNB->MCE->MME->MBMS GW->BM-SC->AS,上报特定SAI中TMGI的状态到AS。
如果AS请求信息只包括SAI信息,则eNB上报SAI中所有的TMGI状态。
所述上报触发方式为以下任意一种:事件触发,AS请求触发,上述两者结合。其中,事件触发上报是指当网络节点发生拥塞/过载开始/结束事件时,网络节点上报到AS;AS请求触发是指AS向网络节点发送请求消息,收到请求的网络节点上报节点状态信息到AS;两者结合是指AS向网络节点发送请求消息,收到请求的网络节点发生拥塞/过载开始/结束事件时,网络节点上报到AS.
所述的当网络节点发生拥塞/过载开始/结束事件,是指:从开始状态转换为结束状态;或者从结束状态转换为开始状态。即:如果原先并没有拥塞/过载(等效于上次拥塞/过载已经结束)转换为开始(等效于当前出现了 拥塞/过载),eNB需要上报;如果原先出现了拥塞/过载(等效于开始)到不拥塞/过载(等效于结束),eNB需要上报;而且eNB检测到拥塞状态和过载状态彼此发生了变化,eNB也需要上报。
也就是说,C=拥塞指示,用{0,1}标识;O=过载指示,用{0,1}标识,只要C和/或O的标识发送了变化,eNB都需要上报。
总之,如果拥塞/过载的开始或者结束的状态不改变,则eNB不需要再上报,这样AS总能准确地掌握MBMS的拥塞/过载状态。
步骤104,AS执行减少拥塞/过载影响的策略。
所述AS首先根据上述拥塞/过载指示信息确定受到影响的目标UE和集群业务TMGI,然后所述AS根据拥塞/过载指示信息和本地策略确定采取的行动,如当发生拥塞时,为目标UE建立单播承载,并通过单播承载发送集群业务,当发生过载时,所述AS将集群业务排队等待过载结束再发送,或者AS利用高优先级的集群业务抢占现有集群业务的资源。
步骤105,网络节点检测到拥塞/过载结束。
所述拥塞/过载结束是指网络恢复正常,如网络信令和或用户面负载低于预设门限。
步骤106,网络节点向AS发送恢复指示信息。
所述网络节点通过现有流程发送指示信息。所述恢复指示信息包括以下至少一种:拥塞/过载标识,MBMS SAI,TMGI,拥塞/过载结束标识.
步骤107,AS选择向UE发送集群业务的方式。
所述AS通过上述恢复指示信息确定受到影响的目标UE,并选择合适的方式向目标UE发送集群业务。如继续通过MBMS承载发送集群业务。
下面通过具体集群业务流程的示例,进一步阐明本发明实施例的技术方案。

  21. 根据权利要求12所述的系统,其中,所述集群业务应用服务器,还配置为向所述网络节点发送上报拥塞/过载的SAI和TMGI的请求消息;
    所述网络节点,还配置为接收到所述请求消息后,向所述集群业务应用服务器上报SAI中特定集群业务的TMGI。
  22. 根据权利要求12所述的系统,其中,所述集群业务应用服务器,还配置为向所述网络节点发送上报拥塞/过载的SAI的请求消息;
    所述网络节点,还配置为接收到所述请求消息后,向所述集群业务应 用服务器上报SAI中所有业务的TMGI。
  23. 根据权利要求12至22任一项所述的系统,其中,所述网络节点向所述集群业务应用服务器上报相关信息的触发方式为以下任意一种:事件触发,集群业务应用服务器请求触发,事件及集群业务应用服务器请求触发;
    其中,事件触发为,当网络节点发生拥塞/过载开始/结束事件时,网络节点向集群业务应用服务器上报;
    集群业务应用服务器请求触发为,集群业务应用服务器向网络节点发送上报的请求消息,接收到请求消息的网络节点向集群业务应用服务器上报;
    事件及集群业务应用服务器请求触发为,集群业务应用服务器向网络节点发送上报的请求消息,接收到请求消息的网络节点在发生拥塞/过载开始/结束事件时,向集群业务应用服务器上报。
  24. 一种存储介质,所述存储介质中存储有计算机程序,所述计算机程序配置为执行权利要求1至11任一项所述的基于MBMS承载的集群通信中拥塞状态上报方法。
