Description

一种进行数据传输的方法、系统和设备
本申请要求在2014年11月26日提交中国专利局、申请号为201410693934.8、发明名称为“一种进行数据传输的方法、系统和设备”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
本发明涉及无线通信技术领域,特别涉及一种进行数据传输的方法、系统和设备。
背景技术
现有LTE(Long Term Evolution,长期演进)蜂窝系统中,用户设备(User Equipment,UE)在长时间没有数据传输的情况下无线资源控制(Radio Resource Control,RRC)连接将被释放,因此后续上行数据到达后,用户设备首先需要重新恢复RRC信令连接,才能进行用户面数据传输,由于连接管理需要核心网控制面锚点移动性管理实体(Mobility Management Entity,MME)参与,因此延迟较长,目前恢复控制面连接过程需要至少80ms。
蜂窝系统中MME负责非接入层安全功能,空闲(IDLE)状态移动性功能,和演进分组系统(Evolved Packet System,EPS)承载管理功能,此外MME还需要参与连接管理功能。LTE控制面协议栈采用两层设计,分别是接入层协议(包括RRC)和非接入层协议(Non-Access Stratum,NAS)。其中RRC协议负责对空口无线资源管理和空口传输功能控制,RRC协议终结在演进型基站(evolved Node B,eNB);非接入层(NAS)主要对和空口传输非直接相关的功能进行管理,例如移动性管理,承载管理,身份验证等,非接入层协议栈终结在MME。
未来机器类通信(Machine Type Communications,MTC)用户设备将爆炸式增长,根据预测未来网络中的机器类用户设备数量将是人类用户数量的10倍,因此未来蜂窝网络必须支持海量连接(例如通过单个小区同时为几千个MTC用户设备提供服务)。另外,MTC用户设备采用固定或牧游方式进行部署将占很大比例,在业务特性方面,呈现突发小数据包的特点。
而现有系统架构、协议栈架构和数据传输过程都是针对多媒体业务在移动通信情况下需求进行设计的,因此对于移动性管理,连接管理等方面功能都需要核心网实体参与控制。也就是说,由于现有蜂窝网络是针大范围移动场景设计,海量机器类用户设备的接入对现有蜂窝核心网控制面节实体MME造成和非常大的处理负担,随着网络中机器类用户设备的不断增加,问题变得越来越严重,这将对控制面处理时延和可靠性性能造成极大影响。
综上所述,目前蜂窝网络面无法满足海量用户设备接入的需要,从而会增加核心网信 令负担,加大核心网处理时延。

也就是说,本发明实施例的用户设备在特定区域内移动,这里的特定区域范围可以根 据需要进行设定,比如多个宏基站覆盖的区域、一个办公室的范围或者一个工厂的范围。通常在比较小的范围内可以使用单基站+拉远天线方式,在比较大的范围内可以使用多个微基站方式实现布网,也可以用分布式天线。如果是单基站覆盖的场景,则本发明实施例的用户设备附着到网络后不会改变服务基站。如果是多基站部署的场景本发明实施例的用户设备附着到网络后可以改变服务基站。
需要说明的是,本发明实施例的用户设备并不局限于附着到网络后不更换服务基站的用户设备,任何用户设备都适用本发明实施例。
在实施中,管理模块10在用户设备进行网络附着过程中对用户设备的移动性和连接进行管理时,在所述用户设备附着过程中为用户设备建立上下文信息,并为所述用户设备分配在所述用户设备的服务基站中唯一标识所述用户设备的UE ID(用户设备标识)和用于进行上行资源请求的调度请求(Scheduling Request,SR)。
较佳地,管理模块10在所述用户设备附着过程中保存来自核心网的所述用户设备的上下文信息,并为所述用户设备分配在所述用户设备的服务基站中唯一标识所述用户设备的UE ID和用于进行上行资源请求的SR时,在收到来自用户设备的附着请求消息后,向核心网发送身份验证请求消息;在收到来自核心网的针对所述用户设备的安全上下文和签约信息后,为所述用户设备建立上下文信息;向所述用户设备返回包含所述UE ID和所述SR的附着响应消息。
由于管理模块10为所述用户设备分配在所述用户设备的服务基站中唯一标识所述用户设备的UE ID,从而可以降低UE ID占用的比特位长度,降低空口开销。
其中,管理模块10还可以为用户设备选择为用户设备服务的本地网关,从而达到优化数据路由的目的,避免出现由于用户设备移动而导致的频繁更换网关的问题。
在实施中,管理模块10在用户设备进行网络附着过程中对用户设备的移动性和连接进行管理时,还可以在用户设备进行网络附着过程中为所述用户设备配置用于在上行发送过程中进行时间调整的时间提前量(Time Advance,TA)。
如果本发明实施例的用户设备是固定用户设备或牧游用户设备,由于用户设备的相对位置一直保持固定,因此只要在用户设备附着到网络过程中为其配置TA信息,后续数据传输过程不需要再对TA进行调整。
如果本发明实施例的用户设备是固定用户设备或牧游用户设备,由于用户设备附着到网络后接入的基站保持固定,因此即使在没有数据传输情况下,基站和用户设备之间可以始终保持连接状态,而不会引入由于移动性过程而导致的信令开销
较佳地,本发明实施例的建立模块11在需要为用户设备进行会话建立时,为所述用户设备建立会话时,根据收到的来自用户设备的接入点名(Access Point Name,APN)在确定需要为用户设备进行本地会话建立后,为所述用户设备分配进行本地传输的第一地址; 根据收到的来自用户设备的APN在确定需要为用户设备进行远程会话后,向核心网发送会话建立请求;将所述核心网为所述用户设备分配的进行远程传输的第二地址,发送给用户设备。
在实施中,本发明实施例的建立模块11根据从核心网收到的密钥对用户设备上行发送数据进行完整性验证和进行解密,并将解密后数据发送到本地服务器所在网络。在下行方向上基站使用从核心网收到的密钥对下行发送数据进行加密和完整性保护处理。
具体的,建立模块11发送收到的所述用户设备的数据时:
若进行本地会话,在收到来自所述用户设备的数据包后,根据所述用户设备的上下文信息对所述数据包进行完整性验证,并在完整性验证通过后根据所述上下文信息进行解密,将解密后的数据包发送给本地网络;
若进行远程会话,在收到来自所述用户设备的数据包后,根据所述用户设备的上下文信息对所述数据包进行完整性验证,并在完整性验证通过后根据所述上下文信息进行解密,将解密后的数据包发送给核心网。
在用户设备接入网络过程中,建立模块11将UE ID和用户设备使用密钥进行关联,并使用此密钥对分组数据聚合协议(Packet Data Convergence Protocol,PDCP)包进行完整性验证和并解密并将恢复后的互联网协议(Internet Protocol,IP)包发送给应用层网络。
在实施中,上述模块可以分散在核心网的不同实体中,也可以合成在一个实体中,比如基站中。
也可以将上述模块的多个功能分成多个子模块,每个子模块执行至少一个功能(比如管理模块10对用户设备的移动性功能和连接管理功能可以分成两个子模块),各个子模块可以分散在核心网的不同实体中,也可以合成在一个实体中。
如果上述模块合成在基站中,具体基站和核心网的架构可以参见图2。
在图2的架构中,基站可以实现下列三种功能:
1、在附着到网络过程中完成UE上下文信息发布和存储以及UE ID的分配,用户设备在附着到网络后一直保持连接状态;
2、固定UE本地网络接入会话建立过程;
3、固定UE远程网络接入会话建立过程。
在实施中,用户设备附着到网络过程中,将自身类型(固定/牧游)信息通知基站,基站触发对用户设备身份进行验证后,保存安全上下文信息,并根用户设备建立的会话类型为用户设备选择网关。这里认为用户设备附着到网络后服务基站就不会发生变化,如果用户设备需要牧游到其他位置,则用户设备需要重新触发到网络的附着过程。
本实施例的基站同时支持传统基站和本地网关功能(Local GW),基站根据从核心网收到的密钥对用户设备上行发送数据进行完整性验证和进行解密,并将解密后数据发送到 本地服务器所在网络。在下行方向上基站使用从核心网收到的密钥对下行发送数据进行加密和完整性保护处理。
在用户设备接入网络过程中,基站为用户设备分配本基站内唯一的用户设备标识UE ID,并将UE ID和用户设备使用密钥进行关联,并使用此密钥对数据包(比如PDCP包)进行完整性验证并解密并将恢复后的数据包(比如IP包)发送给应用层网络。
上述模块可以分散在核心网的不同实体中,可以是分散在多个基站中,具体可以参见图3;也可以分散在与多个基站连接的本地服务器中,具体可以参见图4;还可以分散在任何实体中。
针对本地网络和远程网络,本发明实施例用户面协议栈也有区别,下面进行介绍。
一、如图5所示,本发明实施例用户面协议栈与本地网络连接的示意图中:
在用户设备接入本地网络情况下,IP层负责到本地网络的路由功能,PDCP层负责对上层IP数据包加密和完整性保护功能,无线链路控制(Radio Link Control,RLC)层负责对来自高层的数据包进行串接或分段,媒体接入控制(Medium Access Control,MAC)和L1层实现空口的数据发送和接收。
基站+本地网关(eNB+LocalGW)MAC/L1层实现空口数据的接收和发送功能,RLC层实现对高层数据包的重组,PDCP层负责对UE获得的PDCP包进行完整性验证和解密功能,IP层实现对从UE获得的IP数据到外部网络的路由功能。
二、如图6所示,本发明实施例用户面协议栈与远程网络连接的示意图中:
在用户设备接入外部网络情况下,PDCP层负责对上层IP数据包加密和完整性保护功能,RLC层负责对来自高层的数据包进行串接或分段,MAC和L1层实现空口的数据发送和接收。
基站MAC/L1层实现空口数据的接收和发送功能,RLC层实现对高层数据包的重组,PDCP层负责对UE获得的PDCP包进行完整性验证和解密功能,基站通用分组无线业务(General Packet Radio Service,GPRS)隧道协议(GPRS Tunneling Protocol,GTP)层实现将IP数据通过GTP隧道方式与核心网服务网关(Serving GW,SGW)/分组数据网管(PDN GW,PGW)进行通信。
核心网SGW/PGW的IP层实现对从用户设备获得的IP数据到外部远程网络的路由功能。
图5和图6是以基站+本地网关在一个实体中(即上述模块都在基站中)为例进行说明,如果上述模块在其他实体中与图5类似,在此不再赘述。
本发明实施例控制面协议栈,如图7所示:
基站终结用户设备到网络的控制面接口(包括RRC协议和增强型非接入层协议(eNAS)协议),MME主要负责对S1-C接口信令进行中继,包括将鉴权身份验证相关消 息转发给归属签约用户服务器(Home Subscriber Server,HSS),将会话建立消息转发给核心网网关S-GW/PGW。
由于非接入层协议也终结在基站,因此在非接入层将针对固定牧游设备的特点进行全下设计,保留附着过程和会话建立过程,非接入层不需要对连接状态进行维护。
RRC层与现有LTE RRC层功能基本一致,基站可以根据RRC层消息判断用户设备类型,如果是固定牧游式用户设备接入则将从用户设备收到的RRC消息中携带的eNAS消息递交给基站的eNAS处理率实体。如果是传统用户设备接入,则基站将RRC消息中携带的NAS消息转发核心网MME。
此外,由于eNAS层与RRC层均终结与基站,因此也可以将两者功能进行合并,通过例如空口高层协议(例如将此高层协议称为eRRC协议或增强型RRC协议)一层协议栈方式实现,从而达到简化控制面协议栈目的,具体可以参见图8。

下面以基站和本地网关合在一个实体为例对本发明的方案进行说明,本发明实施例的系统中各个模块在多个实体中的方式与在一个实体中的类似,在此不再赘述。
例一、用户设备附着。
该过程包括:
完成空口密钥分配。
基站为用户设备分配本基站内唯一标示UE ID。
基站为用户设备配置TA用于用户设备进行后续上行发送进行时间调整。
基站为用户设备配置SR用于用户设备后续进行上行资源请求过程。
用户设备建立于网络侧连接,并在附着过程完成后一直保持RRC连接状态。
如图15所示,发明实施例八用户设备附着过程包括下列步骤:
步骤1:用户设备发送附着请求消息给基站,附着请求消息中携带“固定和/或牧游”指示信息。
固定和/或牧游指示的目的是为了基站确定采用什么工作模式,这里假设基站同时支持出传统用户设备接入,因此在用户设备接入是基站需要确定当前用户设备的工作模式。实际上基站也可以从其他角度判断用户设备接入的类型,例如采用的协议栈或消息的封转方式,这里采用指示的方式只是一种指示的方法。并非本发明必须采用的方法。
如果基站不需要选择采用什么工作模式,也可以不对用户设备的类型进行判断。
步骤2:基站发送针对用户设备的身份验证请求消息给MME,其中携带用户设备固定标识IMSI。
步骤3:MME将从基站收到的身份验证请求消息转发给鉴权中心HSS。
步骤4:HSS对用户设备身份进行验证,并通过身份验证响应消息将用户设备的安全上下文信息和用户设备的签约信息发送给MME。
步骤5:MME将从HSS收到的用户设备的上下文信息和用户设备的签约信息转发给基站。
步骤6:基站为用户设备建立上下文信息包括安全上下文信息(例如密钥信息)和签约信息,并将附着响应消息将基站为用户设备分配基站内唯一的UE ID并将UE ID一同发送给用户设备。此外基站发送给用户设备TA配置,以使用户设备在后续上行数据发送过程中进行TA调整。此外基站还为用户设备配置了SR用于用户进行上行资源请求。用户设备收到该消息后,将UE ID以及TA配置和SR配置信息保存起来供后续上行数据发送过程使用。
步骤7:用户设备保存从基站收到的配置参数后,发送附着完成消息给基站,基站收到附着消息后一直保持用户设备始终处于RRC连接状态。
例二、本地会话建立。
通过本地会话建立过程,基站为用户设备选择本地网关进行服务,本地网关负责为用户设备分配本地IP地址并负责对用户设备接入本地网络的IP数据进行路由。
如图16所示,发明实施例九本地会话建立方法包括下列步骤:
步骤1:用户设备发送本地会话建立请求消息给基站,基站根据APN确定需要建立本地会话。
步骤2:基站为用户设备分配IP地址,基站将本地网关为用户设备分配的IP地址通过本地会话建立完成消息发送给用户设备。
这里如果基站和本地网关不在一个实体中,并且基站与多个本地网关连接,则基站在 确定需要建立本地会话后,还会为用户设备选择本地网关Local GW为用户设备进行服务。
本发明实施例为用户设备选择网关可采用现有的几种方式:一种是网络保存一个“Default APN(默认接入点名)”,用户设备附着过程中MME(现有网络中负责网关选择的实体),根据APN查询可选网关,并从中优选一个。另一种是,用户设备接入携带一个APN,网络根据用户设备上报的APN为用户设备进行网关选择。这两种方法可以重用,对于是选择核心网网关还是接入网本地网关,一种方式是在APN中携带.global、.local字段来辅助查询。
例三、远程会话建立。
通过远程会话建立过程,MME为用户设备选择核心网网关(例如SGW和PGW),核心网网关PGW负责为用户设备分配IP地址并负责对用户设备接入远程网络的IP数据进行路由。
如图17所示,本明实施例十远程会话建立过程包括下列步骤:
步骤1:用户设备发送PDN会话理解建立请求,其中携带APN。
步骤2:基站判断用户设备发起PDN连接是针对远程网络,则基站发送会话建立请求给MME。
步骤3:根据APN,MME为用户设备选择核心网网关SGW+PGW,并发送会话建立请求消息给核心网网关。
步骤4:核心网网关SGW+PGW为用户设备建立PDN连接并分配用于访问远程网络的IP地址,并发送会话建立响应消息给MME其中携带为用户设备PDN连接分配的IP地址。
步骤5:MME将从核心网网关SGW+PGW收到的IP地址通过会话建立响应消息发送给基站。
步骤6:基站保存用户设备PDN连接建立信息,并将IP地址发送给用户设备。
例四、针对本地网络的上行数据传输。
上行数据到达后,用户设备根据使用附着过程中获得的SR(Schedule Request)配置(其中SR配置包括SR使用的物理层资源,基站为SR进行下行资源分配使用的无线网络临时标识(Radio Network Temporary Identifier,SR-RNTI))发送SR请求,基站收到Schedule Request后为用户设备分配上行传输上行分配(Grant),用户设备使用SR配置中携带的SR-RNTI尝试对Grant分配进行接收,并在成功接收到上行GRANT后,用户设备根据上行Grant配置,将自身Buffer中待传输数据量大小和一个UE ID通知给基站,基站根据用户设备上报的缓存容量(BufferSize)信息为用户设备的上行数据发送分配Grant,并将上行Grant信息和随机数发送给用户设备,用户设备利用上行Grant配置,将PDCP包发送给基站,基站使用UE ID关联自身预先保存的UE上下文。基站为用户设备分配用于数据 传输的Grant,并携带UE ID作为冲突检测标识。用户设备通过比较从基站收到的UE ID判断上行Grant是否是分配给自己使用,如果一致,用户设备使用此上行Grant将PDCP包发送给基站。基站收到PDCP包后,通过关联的UE上行文中保存的密钥对,PDCP进行解密和完整性验证,并将通过验证恢复后的IP包发送给应用层网络。
如图18所示,本发明实施例十一针对本地网络的上行数据传输过程包括下列步骤:
步骤1:上行数据到达后,用户设备根据使用附着过程中获得的SR配置,在指定的物理层资源上发送SR请求。
步骤2:基站收到SR后为用户设备分配上行传输Grant,并将上行Grant分配发送给用户设备。
步骤3:用户设备使用SR配置中携带的SR-RNTI尝试对上行Grant进行接收,并在成功接收到上行Grant后,根据附着过程中获得的TA配置,用户设备对上行发送时刻进行调整,并根据步骤2分配的上行Grant配置,用户设备将自身Buffer中需要传输的数据量信息(即BufferSize),以及基站为用户设备分配的UE ID发送给基站。
步骤4:基站根据步骤3收到的BufferSize信息为用户设备的后续数据传输分配Grant,并保存UE ID。
步骤5:基站将为用户设备分配的上行Grant以及步骤3收到的UE ID发送给用户设备。用户设备通过比较当前消息收到的UE ID和在步骤3自身发送的UE ID,确认当前消息是否是发送给自身。
步骤6:如果用户设备在步骤3发送的UE ID与用户设备在步骤5收到的UE ID一致,则用户设备使用步骤5获得的上行Grant,将PDCP包发送给基站。否则用户设备将放弃本次上行发送。
步骤7:基站根据步骤3收到的UE ID关联UE上下文信息并确定密钥对PDCP包进行完整性验证并解密。
步骤8:基站将通过完整性验证,并进行解密恢复出来的IP数据包发送给本地网络。
步骤9:根据步骤6上行发送采用的资源,基站确定下行Ack反馈采用的资源,并向用户设备发送正确(ACK)指示作为步骤6上行PDCP包成功传输的响应。
例五、针对外部网络的上行数据传输。
如图19所示,本发明实施例十二针对外部网络的上行数据传输过程包括下列步骤:
步骤1:上行数据到达后,用户设备根据使用附着过程中获得的SR配置,在指定的物理层资源上发送SR请求。
步骤2:基站收到SR后为用户设备分配上行传输Grant,并将上行Grant分配发送给用户设备。
步骤3:用户设备使用SR配置中携带的SR-RNTI尝试对上行Grant进行接收,并在 成功接收到上行Grant后,根据附着过程中获得的TA配置,用户设备对上行发送时刻进行调整,并根据步骤2分配的上行Grant配置,用户设备将自身Buffer中需要传输的数据量信息(即BufferSize),以及基站为用户设备分配的UE ID发送给基站。
步骤4:基站根据步骤3收到的BufferSize信息为用户设备的后续数据传输分配Grant,并保存UE ID。
步骤5:基站将为用户设备分配的上行Grant以及步骤3收到的UE ID发送给用户设备。用户设备通过比较当前消息收到的UE ID和在步骤3自身发送的UE ID,确认当前消息是否是发送给自身。
步骤6:如果用户设备在步骤3发送的UE ID与用户设备在步骤5收到的UE ID一致,则用户设备使用步骤5获得的上行Grant,将PDCP包发送给基站。否则用户设备将放弃本次上行发送。
步骤7:基站根据步骤3收到的UE ID关联UE上下文信息并确定密钥对PDCP包进行完整性验证并解密。
步骤8:基站将通过完整性验证,并进行解密恢复出来的IP数据包封转成GTP包并转发给核心网SGW/PGW。
步骤9:核心网SGW/PGW收到GTP后,从其中恢复IP数据包并发送到远程网络下一条节点。
步骤10:根据步骤6上行发送采用的资源,基站确定下行Ack反馈采用的资源,并向用户设备发送ACK指示作为步骤6上行PDCP包成功传输的响应。
其中,步骤9和步骤10没有必然的时序关系,基站在执行完步骤8后就可以执行步骤10。
从上述内容可以看出:本发明实施例接入网在用户设备进行网络附着过程中对用户设备的移动性和连接进行管理;以及在需要为用户设备进行会话建立时,为所述用户设备建立会话,并发送收到的所述用户设备的数据。由于本发明实施例将用户设备的连接管理和移动性管理转移到接入网,使得核心网不再参与用户设备的连接管理和移动性管理,从而减小了控制面信令对核心网的影响,降低了核心网信令负担以及处理时延,能够更好的满足了未来海量固定、牧游式MTC设备的突发式通信需求。
显然,本领域的技术人员可以对本发明进行各种改动和变型而不脱离本发明的精神和范围。这样,倘若本发明的这些修改和变型属于本发明权利要求及其等同技术的范围之内,则本发明也意图包含这些改动和变型在内。
