Description

获取PGW FQDN的方法、Home PGW及系统 技术领域
本文涉及通讯技术领域,尤其涉及漫游用户使用代理PGW(Packet Data Network Gateway,分组数据网网关)回归属地接入时的一种获取PGW FQDN(Fully Qualified Domain Name,完全限定域名)的方法、Home PGW及系统。
背景技术
目前,3GPP(3rd Generation Partnership Project,第三代合作伙伴计划)对下一代移动无线网络的项目称为SAE(System Architecture Evolution,系统架构演进)。SAE的架构如图1所示,其中包含了如下网元:
E-RAN(Evolved RAN,演进的无线接入网),可以提供更高的上下行速率,更低的传输延迟和更加可靠的无线传输。E-RAN中包含的网元是eNodeB(Evolved NodeB,演进型基站),为终端的接入提供无线资源。
HSS(Home Subscriber Server,归属用户服务器),永久存储用户签约数据。
MME(Mobility Management Entity,移动管理实体):控制面功能实体,临时存储用户数据的服务器,负责管理和存储UE(User Equipment,用户设备)上下文(比如UE/用户标识、移动性管理状态、用户安全参数等),为用户分配临时标识,当UE驻扎在该跟踪区域时,负责对该用户进行鉴权;处理MME和UE之间的所有非接入层消息;触发在SAE的寻呼。
SGW(Serving GW,服务网关),该网关是一个用户面实体,负责用户面数据路由处理,终结处于空闲状态的UE的下行数据。管理和存储UE的SAE承载(bearer)上下文,比如IP承载业务参数和网络内部路由信息等。SGW是3GPP系统内部用户面的锚点,一个用户在一个时刻只能有一个Serving GW;
PGW(Packet Data Network Gateway,分组数据网网关),负责UE接入PDN(Packet Data Network,分组数据网络)的网关,分配用户IP地址,同 时是3GPP和非3GPP接入系统的移动性锚点。用户在同一时刻能够接入多个PDN GW。
PCRF(Policy and Charging Rule Functionality,策略和计费规则功能实体),该功能实体主要根据业务信息和用户签约信息以及运营商的配置信息产生控制用户数据传递的Qos(Quality of Service,服务质量)规则以及计费规则。该功能实体也可以控制接入网中承载的建立和释放。
SGSN(Serving GPRS Support Node,正在服务的GPRS(General Packet Radio Service,通用分组无线服务)支持节点):临时存储用户数据的服务器,负责管理和存储UE相关信息,如UE/用户标识、移动性管理状态、用户安全参数等,为用户分配临时标识,完成用户安全功能,完成用户移动性管理功能和会话管理功能,处理SGSN和UE之间的所有非接入层消息。
UTRAN(UMTS Terrestrial Radio Access Network,统一的陆地无线接入网络):第三代移动通讯网络(3G)的无线接入网络,为终端的接入提供无线资源。
GERAN(GSM EDGE Radio Access Network,GSM/EDGE无线接入网):GPRS/EDGE的无线接入网络,为终端的接入提供无线资源。
下一代移动网络作为一种广泛使用的移动通信技术,该系统能支持用户在不同的地区和国家的移动网络之间的漫游业务,也能支持用户在不同接入方式下访问业务,包括3GPP接入和非3GPP接入。
相关技术中,可以利用代理PGW(Proxy PGW)技术实现漫游用户接入到归属地,并进行数据业务。具体地,UE从归属公众陆地移动通信网络(HPLMN,Public Land Mobile-communication Network)漫游到拜访地(漫游地)PLMN(Visited PLMN)后,附着到Visited PLMN的MME(Visited MME)上,由所述Visited MME发送创建会话请求给代理PGW,然后由代理PGW转发创建会话请求到UE归属地的PGW(Home PGW),之后,由所述Visited MME和Home PGW进行后续的PS(Packet Switch,分组交换)业务。
但是,按目前技术,Visited MME没有获取到Home PGW的FQDN,后续通知HSS的PGW FQDN为Proxy PGW的FQDN,即不是UE真实接入的 PGW。之后如果UE切换到非3GPP,因为PGW是3GPP和非3GPP接入系统的移动性锚点,在非3GPP接入下,从HSS无法获取UE真实接入的PGW FQDN,因此切换会失败,导致严重影响用户对业务的体验。
另外,Visited MME没有获取到UE真实接入的PGW,后续UE回到HPLMN后,Home MME也无法选择和UE真实接入的PGW拓扑关系最近的SGW,从而浪费了网络资源。
发明内容
本发明实施例提供一种获取PGW FQDN的方法、Home PGW及系统,能够克服相关技术中在使用Proxy PGW时无法获取实际接入的PGW(Home PGW)的FQDN信息,导致3GPP和非3GPP间的互切失败的问题。

如图2所示,图2为相关技术中典型的利用代理PGW技术实现漫游用户接入归属地,并进行PS业务的方法流程示意图,如图2所示,该方法包括以下步骤:
步骤201,漫游用户向漫游地的MME(Visited MME)发起PDN连接建立;
步骤202,Visited MME发起域名系统(DNS,Domain Name System)解析流程,解析Proxy PGW的控制面地址;
步骤203,DNS服务器向Visited MME返回Proxy PGW的控制面地址和FQDN(Fully Qualified Domain Name,完全限定域名);
步骤204,Visited MME向Visited SGW发送创建会话请求消息,携带Proxy PGW的控制面地址;
步骤205,Visited SGW向Proxy PGW发送创建会话请求消息;
步骤206,Proxy PGW收到创建会话请求消息后,对报文进行解析,得到用户标识信息,Proxy PGW根据此信息翻译出用户签约归属地的PGW(Home PGW)地址;
这里,所述用户标识信息可以是移动用户国际号码(MSISDN,Mobile Station Integrated Services Digital Network)或国际移动用户识别码(IMSI,International Mobile Subscriber Identification Number)。
步骤207,Proxy PGW将创建会话请求消息中的IP包的目的IP地址,修改为MSISDN或IMSI对应的Home PGW的地址,把修改后的创建会话请求消息发送给Home PGW;
步骤208,Home PGW收到创建会话请求消息后,直接向Visited SGW返回创建会话响应,携带Home PGW的IP地址,但不会携带Home PGW的FQDN;
步骤209,Visited SGW返回创建会话响应给Visited MME,携带Home PGW的IP地址,但不会携带Home PGW的FQDN;
步骤210,Visited MME给eNodeB发送承载建立请求消息,该消息中携带给UE的激活默认EPS承载上下文请求消息;
步骤211,eNodeB给UE发送RRC连接重新配置消息,该消息中携带给UE的激活默认EPS承载上下文请求消息;
步骤212,UE给eNodeB返回RRC连接重新配置完成消息;
步骤213,eNodeB给Visited MME返回承载建立响应消息;
步骤214,UE给Visited MME发送激活默认EPS承载上下文接受消息;
步骤215,Visited MME向Visited SGW发送修改承载请求消息;
步骤216,Visited SGW返回修改承载响应给Visited MME;
步骤217,如果该用户支持到非3GPP接入的切换,Visited MME向HSS 发送通知请求,把APN(Access Point Name,接入点名)和PGW FQDN关联关系通知给HSS,PGW FQDN为根据DNS查询到的Proxy PGW的FQDN;
这里,后续UE移动到非3GPP时,向HSS要已激活PDN连接的PGW信息。
步骤218,HSS存储APN和PGW FQDN关联关系,给Visited MME回通知响应消息。
由上述过程可知,相关技术方案中,Visited MME没有获取到Home PGW的FQDN,后续通知HSS的PGW FQDN为Proxy PGW的FQDN,即不是UE真实接入的PGW。之后如果UE切换到非3GPP,因为PGW是3GPP和非3GPP接入系统的移动性锚点,在非3GPP接入下从HSS无法获取UE真实接入的PGW FQDN,因此切换会失败,导致严重影响用户对业务的体验。
另外,Visited MME没有获取到UE真实接入的PGW,后续UE回到HPLMN后,Home MME也无法选择和UE真实接入的PGW拓扑关系最近的SGW。
本发明实施例方案,可以克服相关技术中在使用Proxy PGW时MME无法获取实际接入的PGW(Home PGW)的FQDN信息,导致和非3GPP间的互切失败的问题,并且,在UE回到HPLMN后,Home MME也可以选择和UE真实接入的PGW拓扑关系最近的SGW,节省了网络资源。
如图3a所示,本发明一实施例提出一种获取PGW FQDN的方法,

本领域普通技术人员可以理解上述方法中的全部或部分步骤可通过程序来指令相关硬件完成,上述程序可以存储于计算机可读存储介质中,如只读存储器、磁盘或光盘等。可选地,上述实施例的全部或部分步骤也可以使用一个或多个集成电路来实现。相应地,上述实施例中的各模块/单元可以采用硬件的形式实现,也可以采用软件功能模块的形式实现。本发明实施例不限制于任何特定形式的硬件和软件的结合。
工业实用性
本发明实施例能够在漫游用户使用代理PGW回归属地接入时,获取UE真实接入的Home PGW的FQDN,从而在使用代理PGW时,支持3GPP和非3GPP间的切换,提高用户业务感受。
