Description

传输业务数据流的方法和系统
本申请要求于2015年04月10日提交中国专利局,申请号为201510169646.7、发明名称为“传输业务数据流的方法和系统”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
本发明涉及通信技术领域,具体而言,涉及一种传输业务数据流的方法和一种传输业务数据流的系统。
背景技术
目前,随着各种移动应用的发展以及移动终端用户的不断增加,现有无线通信系统如4G LTE(the 4th generation mobile communication technology Long Term Evolution,第四代移动通信技术的长期演进)、LTE-A(Long Term Evolution-Advanced,长期演进技术升级版)系统无法满足用户对高速无线接入的带宽需求。与此同时,在提高接入带宽的同时,如何降低成本也是一个非常重要的因素。利用WLAN(Wireless Local Area Network,无线局域网络)的低成本优势来弥补LTE及其增强技术LTE-A在带宽上的不足,成为一个非常有前景的方向。
现有的WLAN与Cellular(蜂窝)网络的整合技术主要在3GPP(3rd Generation Partnership Project,第三代合作伙伴计划)进行定义。3GPP现有方案分两种:一种是在核心网的整合(参考TS 23.402),一种是在RAN(Residential Access Network,居民接入网)层面进行整合(参考TS 23.401,TS 36.304,TS 36.331)。在RAN层面的整合是3GPP Release 12定义的RAN辅助的WLAN互通方案。不论是核心网整合方案还是RAN辅助的WLAN互通方案,都不支持在AS层(Access Stratum,接入层)对用户面数据进行聚合。因此,尚且不能充分利用WLAN进行灵活和高效率的流量汇聚传输。如图1所示,为现有的LTE与WLAN整合的架构示意图。
具体来说,在核心网整合方案和RAN辅助的WLAN互通方案下,由 WLAN辅小区的传输的用户流量都不是作为终端与接入网网元eNB之间的无线接入承载的一部分,导致了以下的缺陷和问题:
(1)无法利用蜂窝网络高服务质量的backhaul(信道)来支持业务数据传输。
(2)当蜂窝网络或者WLAN的无线链路质量发生变化时,业务流在RAT(Radio Access Type,无线接口)间的切转所导致的信令开销大,这主要是由于所建立的无线承载是核心网可见的,因此,在业务流切转过程当中,控制信令需要被核心网实体来控制,无法被基站隐藏。
(3)扩展性差,随着WLAN AP(Wireless Local Area Networks Access Point,无线访问接入点)数量的增加,WLAN AP到核心网的逻辑连接会随着增加,这给蜂窝网络带来了很大的挑战。
因此,如何实现在AS层的WLAN聚合,以有效地利用WLAN AP来进行流量分担,并提高WLAN整合的可扩展性,进而更加灵活地适应无线链路的质量变化,以及能够使得WLAN流量借由蜂窝网络的backhaul来实现高的服务质量成为目前亟待解决的技术问题。
发明内容
本发明正是基于上述问题,提出了一种新的技术方案,可以实现在接入层的无线局域网络聚合,有效地利用无线局域网络接入点进行流量分担,进而更加灵活地适应无线链路的质量变化,以及能够使得无线局域网络流量借由蜂窝网络的信道来实现高的服务质量。
有鉴于此,本发明的一方面提出了一种传输业务数据流的方法,包括:基站与终端进行业务数据流的传输时,所述基站确定是否需要通过无线局域网络接入点与所述终端进行所述业务数据流的传输;在确定结果为是时,所述基站对所述业务数据流进行切分,以传输所述业务数据流。
在该技术方案中,在基站确定需要同时通过无线局域网络接入点以及直接(即通过蜂窝网络,包括LTE)与终端进行业务数据流的传输时,对该数据业务流进行切分,以实现在接入层(AS层)的无线局域网络(WLAN)聚合,有效地利用无线局域网络接入点进行流量分担,进而更加灵活地适应无线链路 的质量变化,以及能够使得无线局域网络(WLAN)流量借由蜂窝网络的信道(backhaul)来实现高的服务质量。
在上述技术方案中,优选地,所述基站对所述业务数据流进行切分,以传输所述业务数据流,具体包括:为所述基站和所述终端分配承载;所述基站将切分后的所述业务数据流进行PDCP层(Packet data convergence Protocol,分组数据聚合层协议,3GPP无线接入侧的协议层之一)或PDCP层和RLC层(Radio Link control,无线链路控制层协议,3GPP无线接入侧的协议层之一)的发送侧处理,以将切分后的所述业务数据流分别封装为PDCP层协议包或PDCP/RLC层协议包;将所述PDCP层协议包或PDCP/RLC层协议包以统一的序列号通过所述承载进行传输。
在该技术方案中,由于基站对终端的流量内容是透明的,当进行大带宽(带宽通常指信号所占据的频带宽度,大带宽是一个相对量,相对于每个无线接口的可用速率,比如,一个终端的LTE无线接口上可以有1Mb/s的带宽,那么一个4Mb/s带宽的业务流量就可以称为大带宽,即大带宽可以描述为数据速率超过了LTE无线接口上用户期待的带宽占用)的业务数据流的传输时,基站首先为基站和终端分配一个承载(传输载体),则在业务数据流的上行和下行传输时,基站可以根据无线局域网络接入点和蜂窝网络的无线链路的传输质量对业务数据流进行bit(比特)粒度切分,并将切分后的业务数据流进行PDCP层或PDCP层和RLC层的发送侧处理,将其封装为PDCP层协议包或PDCP/RLC层协议包,并以统一的序列号通过分配的承载进行传输,如此,可以充分利用WLAN进行灵活和高效率的流量汇聚传输,使得WLAN流量借由蜂窝网络的信道(backhaul)来实现高的服务质量,而且,通过采用统一的序列号进行传输,可以有效地避免协议数据包传输发生乱序的情况。
在上述技术方案中,当进行一般带宽(一般带宽也是一个相对量,指即使不对业务数据流进行切分,仅用LTE无线接口也可以承载)业务数据流的传输时,可以基于每个业务数据流或者承载进行切分。
在上述技术方案中,优选地,所述基站根据无线局域网络无线接口和蜂窝网络无线接口的传输质量,调整所述无线局域网络无线接口和所述蜂窝网络无线接口的数据流传输比例。
在该技术方案中,通过无线局域网络无线接口和蜂窝网络无线接口进行传输的业务数据流需要实现动态的平衡,以避免影响总体吞吐量的提升,基站可以根据无线局域网络无线接口和蜂窝网络无线接口的传输质量调整其数据流传输比例,以进一步充分WLAN进行灵活和高效率的流量汇聚传输。
在上述技术方案中,优选地,所述传输质量包括:丢包率和传输延迟;以及所述无线局域网络接入点向所述基站汇报无线局域网络空口的平均延迟,以及所述无线局域网络接入点和/或所述基站按预设时间间隔在所述PDCP层协议包或PDCP/RLC层协议包中插入时间戳,以动态监测所述无线局域网络接入点和所述基站之间的所述传输延迟。
在该技术方案中,无线局域网络无线接口和蜂窝网络无线接口的传输质量包括但不限于丢包率和传输延迟,丢包率与PDCP层协议包或PDCP/RLC层协议包(数据包)长度以及包发送频率有关,而传输延迟需要考虑WLAN空口延迟和数据包从无线局域网络接入点到基站进行中转的延迟,具体地,无线局域网络接入点可以向基站汇报WLAN空口的平均延迟,同时,无线局域网络接入点和/或基站可以在PDCP层协议包或PDCP/RLC层协议包中以预设时间间隔插入时间戳来动态监测无线局域网络接入点和基站之间的传输延迟,如此,可以进一步有效地利用无线局域网络接入点进行流量分担,进而更加灵活地适应无线链路的质量变化。
在上述技术方案中,优选地,所述基站将所述PDCP层协议包或PDCP/RLC层协议包作为所述无线局域网络无线接口的有效负载发送到所述无线局域网络接入点,以及所述无线局域网络接入点将所述PDCP层协议包或PDCP/RLC层协议包发送到所述终端进行PDCP层或PDCP层和RLC层的接收侧处理,以完成所述业务数据流的传输。
在该技术方案中,在下行传输方向,基站(eNB)将切分后的一部分下行业务数据流经过PDCP层/或PDCP层和RLC层的发送侧处理后封装为PDCP层协议包或PDCP/RLC层协议包,并将其作为无线局域网络无线接口(WLAN RAT)的有效负载(payload),发送到无线局域网络接入点(AP),然后通过无线局域网络接入点(AP)与终端(UE)的接口传输给终端,以对PDCP层协议包或PDCP/RLC层协议包进行PDCP层或PDCP层和RLC层的接收侧的 处理,然后交给终端的高层。
在上述技术方案中,优选地,在所述基站对所述业务数据流进行切分之前,还包括:所述无线局域网络接入点与所述基站之间建立逻辑接口,以用于数据面的LTE协议数据在所述无线局域网络接入点与所述基站之间的传输。
在该技术方案中,通过在基站对业务数据流进行切分之前,无线局域网络接入点与基站之间建立逻辑接口,以用于数据面的LTE协议数据在无线局域网络接入点与基站之间的传输,该逻辑接口可以是有线的也可以是无线的,如此,无线局域网络接入点与核心网之间没有直接的逻辑接口,则当基站和无线局域网络接入点共址时,该逻辑接口即成为网元内部的接口,在业务数据流的切转过程当中,控制信令则可以被基站所隐藏,同时也提高了扩展性。
本发明的另一方面提出了一种传输业务数据流的方法,包括:终端与基站进行业务数据流的传输时,所述终端确定是否需要通过无线局域网络接入点与所述基站进行所述业务数据流的传输;在确定结果为是时,所述终端对所述业务数据流进行切分,以传输所述业务数据流。

在该技术方案中,在上行传输方向,上行业务数据流在终端被切分,其中一部分上行业务数据流经过PDCP层/或PDCP层和RLC层的发送侧处理后封装为PDCP层协议包或PDCP/RLC层协议包,并将其作为无线局域网络无线接口(WLAN RAT)的有效负载(payload),发送到无线局域网络接入点(AP),然后通过无线局域网络接入点(AP)与基站(eNB)的接口传输给基站(eNB),以对PDCP层协议包或PDCP/RLC层协议包进行PDCP层或PDCP层和RLC层的接收侧处理。
