Description
本发明涉及通信领域,具体而言,涉及一种承载资源的预留方法及装置。
第三代合作伙伴计划(3rd Generation Partnership Project,简称为3GPP)对下一代移动无线网络的项目叫系统架构演进(System Architecture Evolution,简称SAE)。图1是相关技术中系统架构演进SAE的结构框图,如图1所示,该SAE包括了如下网元:
演进的无线接入网(Evolved RAN简称为E-RAN),用于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中包含的网元是演进性基站(Evolved NodeB简称为eNodeB),为终端的接入提供无线资源。
归属用户服务器(Home Subscriber Server简称为HSS),用于永久存储用户签约数据。
移动管理实体(Mobility Management Entity,简称为MME),用于控制面功能实体,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驻扎在该跟踪区域或者该网络是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。
服务网关(Serving Gateway简称为SGW),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。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;
分组数据网网关(Packet Data Network Gatewa简称为PDN GW),负责UE接入PDN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。
策略和合计费规则功能实体(Policy and Charging Rule Functionality简称为PCRF),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服务质量(Quality of Service,简称为Qos)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。
在下一代移动网络中可以部署IP多媒体子系统(IP Multimedia Subsystem,简称为IMS)网络来提供基于IP的语音、视频等业务,从而取代2/3G网络中的电路交换(Circuit Switched,简称为CS)域。终端的语音业务通过LTE承载进行传输。目前主流运营商都选择为VoLTE分配专用接入点名称(Access Point name,简称为APN),网络和终端为该APN建立一个QoS等级标识(QoS Class Identifier,简称为QCI)为5的默认承载,用于传输用户平时注册在IMS网络时所需要的信令,称为信令承载。当终端需要打电话或被呼叫时,临时为终端建立一个QCI为1的专有承载,用于传输语音数据,称为语音承载。当呼叫结束后,语音承载被释放。IMS网络同时支持视频通话业务,当用户进行视频通话时,网络为起呼和终呼用户同时建立QCI为1和2的两个专有承载,其中QCI为1的专有承载用于传输语音,QCI为2的专有承载用于传输视频。当视频通话结束后,QCI为1和2的两个专有承载被释放。
图2是相关技术中演进分组核心网EPC为1和2的专有承载建立QCI的方法流程图,如图2所示,该方法由演进分组核心网(Evolved Packet Core,简称为EPC)建立QCI为1和2的专有承载,并由IMS网络的P-CSCF触发,该方法的步骤包括:
步骤S201:P-CSCF发送鉴权授权请求消息给PCRF,指示两个新业务流信息及相关特征;
步骤S202:PCRF发送重鉴权请求消息给PGW,向PGW下发两个新业务流的规则,包含两个业务流的特征和QoS参数,其中两个业务流的QCI分别为1和2;
步骤S203:PGW判断需要为两个新业务流建立专有承载,发送创建承载请求消息给SGW,消息中同时包含两个专有承载,其QCI分别为1和2;
步骤S204:PGW向PCRF返回重鉴权应答消息;
步骤S205:PCRF向P-CSCF返回鉴权授权应答消息;
步骤S206:SGW向MME发送创建承载请求消息,消息中同时包含两个专有承载,其QCI分别为1和2;
步骤S207:MME向eNodeB发送E-RAB建立消息,指示建立QCI为1和2的两个承载,该消息同时包含MME发给UE的两条非接入层(Non-Access-Statum,简称为NAS)激活专有EPS承载上下文请求消息;
步骤S208:eNodeB发送RRC连接重配到UE;
其中,该RRC连接用于eNodeB创建QCI为1和2的两个承载,并将NAS激活专有EPS承载上下文请求消息发送给UE;
步骤S209:UE发送RRC连接重配完成到eNodeB;
其中,UE判断接受专有承载建立,本地创建专有承载,并向MME返回激活专有EPS承载上下文接受消息;注意UE会为两个专有承载返回两条激活专有EPS承载上下文接受消息;
步骤S210:UE从MME激活专有EPS承载上下文接受;
步骤S211:eNodeB向MME返回E-RAB建立响应消息,指示成功建立了哪些承载;
步骤S212:MME向SGW返回创建承载响应消息,指示成功建立了哪些专有承载;
步骤S213:SGW向PGW返回创建承载响应消息,指示成功建立了哪些专有承载;
步骤S214:PGW对建立成功的承载,向PCRF发送信用控制请求-更新消息,包含新建承载的计费标识、用户当前位置信息等;
步骤S215:PCRF向PGW发送信用控制请求-更新消息;
步骤S216:PCRF向P-CSCF发送重鉴权请求消息,包含新建承载的计费标识、用户当前位置信息等信息;
步骤S217:P-CSCF向PCRF发送重鉴权应答消息。
其中,P-CSCF接下来会完成主被叫用户间SIP会话的协商和建立。
从上面的流程可以看出,视频通话业务在一个流程中同时建立两个专有承载,按照目前3GPP协议的处理,在UE、eNodeB、MME、SGW、PGW各个设备中,多个承载之间是平等关系,各设备都可能出现只接受部分专有承载建立的情况。例如只成功建立了QCI为1的专有承载,或者只成功建立了QCI为2的专有承载。对于视频通话来说,只成功建立QCI为1的专有承载,可以将业务退化为语音通话;而只成功建立QCI为2的专有承载,则业务可以认同为失败,因为只有图像没有声音的通话用户不会忍受。目前对于相关技术中的这种异常,一般处理是由IMS网络判断业务失败,触发PCRF和PGW删除已建立的专有承载;或者IMS继续业务接续,后续由用户将业务挂断,从而触发网络将刚建立的专有承载进行释放。
针对相关技术中网络侧同时建立多个专有承载时,会出现只有部分专有承载创建成功的问题,目前尚未提出有效的解决方案。

而对于本实施例涉及到的网络功能实体根据依赖关系执行资源预留的方式,在本实施例的一个可选实施方式中可以通过如下方式来实现:
步骤S11:网络功能实体判断是否为独立业务流分配资源成功;

可选地,释放模块52,还可以设置为删除独立业务流对应的专有承载或修改独立业务流对应的专有承载;或,删除辅助业务流对应的专有承载或修改辅助业务流对应的专有承载。
对于本实施例涉及到的网络功能实体可以是:分组数据网网关PGW、服务网关SGW、移动管理实体MME、演进性基站eNodeB。当然上述仅仅是举例说明,根据需要其他类型的网络功能实体也是在本实施例的保护范围之内。
对于本实施例涉及到的依赖关系可以由策略和计费规则功能PCRF根据来自应用功能AF的指示或PCRF自身配置的网络策略决定,需要说明的是该方式也仅仅是本实施例的可选实施方式,根据需要也可以由其他方式决定该依赖关系。
下面结合本发明可选实施例对本发明进行举例说明;
本可选实施例提供了一种承载资源的预留方法,通过该方法使得网络侧在多个专有承载同时建立过程中可以直接识别出专有承载之间的依赖关系,进而简化业务流程和设备处理复杂度,提高用户体验。
本可选实施例中网络侧对一个业务流的资源预留,需要增加判断此业务流是否依赖于另外一个业务流的资源预留是否成功;而网络侧资源预留的方式包括:承载建立、
承载修改、承载被抢占、承载被释放等过程。
承载建立的实现过程:
本发明可选实施例中的方法适用于应用实体(Application Function,简称为AF)通过PCRF触发PGW同时建立多个专有承载的场景。该方法的步骤包括:
步骤S21:AF向PCRF发送鉴权授权请求消息,包含多个业务流的特征时,增加多个业务流之间的依赖指示,即某些业务流是其他业务流创建成功时才需要创建的,称之为辅助业务流;不依赖于其他业务流的业务流称之为独立业务流;
可选的,在没有部署AF的场景下,由PCRF根据自身的策略,决定多个业务流规则之间的依赖关系。
步骤S22:PCRF向PGW发送重鉴权请求消息,下发多个业务流规则时,增加多个业务流之间的依赖指示;即某些业务流是其他业务流创建成功时才需要创建的,称之为辅助业务流;不依赖于其他业务流的业务流称之为独立业务流;
步骤S23:PGW向SGW发送创建承载请求消息;对应于独立业务流的专有承载称之为独立专有承载;对应于附属业务流的专有承载称之为附属专有承载;
步骤S24:PGW接收到SGW返回的创建承载响应消息,判断如有独立专有承载未被成功激活,但其附属专有承载激活成功,则认为附属专有承载也不应该被成功创建,并通知SGW删除激活的附属专有承载;如独立专有承载被成功激活,但部分附属专有承载未被激活,继续步骤5;专有承载未创建成功可能是由于UE、eNodeB、MME、SGW或PGW各设备未成功创建;
步骤S25:PGW向PCRF发送CCR-U消息,指示未被成功承载的相关规则,此处未被成功承载的相关规则对应的是所有未被激活的专有承载对应的规则。
可选的,PGW可以把多个专有承载之间的依赖指示通知给SGW,SGW可以把多个专有承载之间的依赖指示通知给MME,MME可以把多个专有承载之间的依赖指示通知给eNodeB。SGW,MME,eNodeB在建立专有承载时,可以根据本地资源情况,成功创建全部专有承载或只成功创建独立专有承载。如果判断下游节点出现了只建立附属专有承载的情况,及时通知下游节点去活附属专有承载。MME的下游节点为eNodeB,SGW的下游节点为MME。
承载修改的实现过程:
本可选实施例中的方法还适用于多个专有承载建立后,网络侧对专有承载发起修改的业务释放场景,该承载修改的步骤包括:
步骤S31:网络侧发起对附属/独立专有承载的修改,要求预留更多资源;
步骤S32:网元eNodeB/PGW等判断如被修改的专有承载是附属专有承载,依赖于某个独立专有承载,且本网元无法为独立专有承载预留更多的资源,则承载不被修改,仍然保持原来的资源。
承载被抢占或被释放的实现过程:
本可选实施例中的方法还适用于多个专有承载建立后,专有承载被释放或抢占的业务释放场景,该抢占或被释放的步骤包括:
步骤S41:eNodeB/MME/SGW/PGW网元,例如发生拥塞时,决定释放一部分专有承载或新业务抢占原有已建立的专有承载;
步骤S42:网元根据自身策略判定释放或抢占某个专有承载时,判断如有其他专有承载依赖于准备释放的专有承载,则将该专有承载和所有依赖于此专有承载的其他专有承载一并释放。
通过本可选实施例采用依据依赖关系识别出承载的方式,克服了相关技术中网络侧同时建立多个专有承载时,可能出现只有部分专有承载创建成功,从而影响用户体验的问题,避免了只成功建立部分专有承载导致的业务体验度不高,并且简化业务流程异常处理和网元处理复杂度。

通过上述实施例可知,在同时建立多个专有承载时,采用多个专有承载之间有一定的依赖关系,网络侧在建立专有承载的时候能直接识别出这种依赖关系,进而可以增加了业务成功率,简化了流程处理和网络侧处理复杂度,减少了后续不必要的释放交互,并且减少建立感受度不好的业务概率,提高了用户体验。
在上述实施例中,业务流之间的依赖关系由P-CSCF(即AF)决定,并提供给PCRF。在其他实施例中(特别是在没AF的场景中)多个业务数据流的关系也可以根据PCRF配置的网络策略决定。

组成的网络上,可选地,它们可以用计算装置可执行的程序代码来实现,从而,可以将它们存储在存储装置中由计算装置来执行,并且在某些情况下,可以以不同于此处的顺序执行所示出或描述的步骤,或者将它们分别制作成各个集成电路模块,或者将它们中的多个模块或步骤制作成单个集成电路模块来实现。这样,本发明不限制于任何特定的硬件和软件结合。
