Description

实现MTC事件监控的方法、装置和系统、存储介质 技术领域
本发明涉及机器类通信(MTC,Machine Type Communication)技术,尤指一种实现MTC事件监控的方法、装置和系统、存储介质。
背景技术
为了支持MTC通讯,提高第三代移动通信系统在通信领域的竞争力,第三代合作伙伴计划(3GPP,3rd Generation Partnership Project)标准工作组对演进分组域系统(EPS,Evolved Packet System)进行了增强,以满足MTC的通讯需求。图1为EPS支持MTC通讯的架构示意图。如图1所示,EPS主要包括演进的通用陆地无线接入网络(E-UTRAN,Evolved Universal Terrestrial Radio Access Network)和演进的分组核心网(EPC,Evolved Packet Core)。另外,EPC还支持用户从通用陆地无线接入网(UTRAN,Universal Terrestrial Radio Access Network)接入。
其中,E-UTRAN包括增强的NodeB(eNodeB)和无线网络控制器(RNC,Radio Network Controller)。
其中,EPC包括:归属用户数据服务器(HSS,Home Subscriber Server)、移动性管理单元(MME,Mobility Management Entity)、服务网关(S-GW,Serving Gateway)、分组数据网络网关(P-GW,PDN Gateway)、服务通用分组无线服务技术(GPRS,General Packet Radio Service)支持节点(SGSN,Serving GPRS Support Node)、策略与计费规则功能实体(PCRF,Policy and Charging Enforcement Function)、服务能力开放功能/平台(SCEF,Service Capability Exposure Function)。其中,
HSS为用户签约数据的永久存放地点,位于用户签约的归属网。
MME为用户签约数据在当前网络的存放地点,负责终端到网络的非接入层(NAS,Non-Access Stratum)的信令的管理,用户空闲模式下的跟踪、寻呼管理功能和承载管理。
S-GW是EPC到无线接入系统之间的网关,负责终端到EPC的用户面承载、终端空闲模式下的数据缓存、网络侧发起业务请求的功能、合法窃听和分组数据路由和转发功能。
P-GW是连接EPS和外部网络的网关,负责终端的互联网协议(IP,Internet Protocol)地址分配、计费功能、分组包过滤、策略应用等功能。
SGSN是UTRAN用户接入EPC的业务支持点,功能上与MME类似,负责用户的位置更新、寻呼管理和承载管理等功能。
PCRF负责向策略及计费执行功能(PCEF,Policy and Charging Enforcement Function)提供策略控制与计费规则。
SCEF负责向第三方服务商提供各类运营商服务,比如:MTC终端监控业务。
在MTC业务中,MTC终端监控业务是很典型并且应用广泛的一种业务。所谓MTC终端监控业务,即针对特定UE执行所要求的MTC事件探测和报告。MTC事件可分若干类,比如:终端国际移动用户识别码(IMSI,International Mobile Subscriber Identification Number)/移动设备国际身份码(IMEI,International Mobile Equipment Identity)配对情况、终端为主变化、终端网络状态变化、终端通讯失败等等。
其中,对某些MTC事件的监控,可能会造成信令负荷的增加,从而影响网络的效率,比如探测终端位置的变化。运营商为了保护网络,通常要求第三方服务在配置MTC事件的监控时设置有效时间(Validity Time)和最大报告数量(Maximum Number of Reports)。其中,有效时间限定了MTC事件监控的作用时间返回,超出该有效时间,网络自动停止MTC时间监控; 最大报告数量限定了网络最多上报的MTC事件报告的数量,达到该最大报告数量,网络自动停止MTC事件监控。
由于MTC事件监控所设置的有效时间可能很长(比如1个月),而在其期间,UE并不总是附着在网络中,而且UE也不可能一直在同一个SGSN/MME上,所以当UE从网络去附着,或切换SGSN/MME时,网络需要在SGSN/MME和HSS之间同步剩余报告数量。否则,SGSN/MME将默认以初始MTC事件监控的配置信息中的最大报告数量作为剩余报告数量,从而会上报超出范围的MTC事件报告,增加网络负担。
由于UE可能在UTRAN、EUTRAN之间频繁切换,3GPP提出了空间态信令优化(ISR,Idle Signaling Reducing)的功能,用以降低UE处于空闲态时在UTRAN和EUTRAN之间切换时的路由区更新(RAU,Route Area Update)、跟踪区更新(TAU,Tracking Area Update)信令的数量。
相关技术的实现MTC事件监控的方法大致包括:
UE附着到MME(或SGSN)的过程中,HSS向MME(或SGSN)发送MTC事件配置信息;在UE从MME切换到SGSN(或从SGSN切换到MME)的过程中,MME和SGSN激活ISR,并且HSS向SGSN(或MME)发送MTC事件配置信息。
相关技术的实现MTC事件监控的方法中,由于在切换前,HSS向MME(或SGSN)发送MTC事件配置信息,切换后,HSS也向SGSN(或MME)发送MTC事件配置信息,并且MTC事件配置信息中的最大报告数量相同,导致SGSN和MME之间分别根据MTC事件配置信息中的最大报告数量维护同一个MTC事件的剩余报告数量,后续UE在E-UTRAN和UTRAN之间切换的过程中,由于SGSN、MME上剩余报告数量不同步,容易造成SGSN、MME累计上报的MTC事件超出最大报告数量,从而使得MTC事件配置中所设置的最大报告数量失效,浪费了网络信令,加大了网络开销。

步骤201、当需要对UE进行MTC事件监控时,SCEF向HSS发送终端监控请求。
本步骤中,SCEF一般在收到来自第三方应用服务器(AS)的管理请求时,向HSS发送终端监控请求。
本步骤中,终端监控请求包括一个或多个MTC事件配置信息。
其中,每个MTC事件配置信息至少包括:SCEF标识、SCEF参考ID、MTC事件类型。其中,SCEF标识用以识别不同的SCEF,SCEF参考ID用以标识该SCEF下一条具体的MTC事件配置信息。

本步骤中,SGSN/MME保存MTC事件配置信息时,如果MTC事件配置信息中包括最大报告数量,则SGSN/MME对该MTC事件配置信息对应的MTC事件的监控启用计数器变量:剩余报告数量。在初始时将剩余报告数量设置为MTC事件配置信息中的最大报告数量,每次探测到MTC事件并上报后,将剩余报告数量自动递减。
本步骤中,当SGSN/MME检测到MTC事件发生时,生成对应的MTC事件报告,将MTC事件报告包含在步骤204的签约数据下载响应中。
步骤204、SGSN/MME向HSS返回签约数据下载响应。
本步骤中,签约数据下载响应中可能包括MTC事件配置结果信息、MTC事件报告。
其中,MTC事件配置结果信息是指SGSN/MME是否成功接收MTC事件配置信息。
其中,如果SGSN/MME检测到MTC事件,则签约数据下载响应中包括MTC事件报告。例如,检测到MTC事件,则签约数据下载响应中包括MTC事件监控对应的MTC事件报告。
步骤205、HSS向SCEF发送终端监控响应。
本步骤中,终端监控响应中包括SGSN/MME所返回的MTC事件配置结果信息,如果步骤204中,签约数据下载响应包括MTC事件报告,则终 端监控响应还包括MTC事件报告。

步骤207、SGSN/MME向SCEF发送监控报告消息,上报MTC事件报告。

参见图4,本发明提出了一种实现MTC事件监控的方法,包括:
步骤400、第一服务节点接收到来自HSS或第二服务节点的消息。
本步骤中,接收到的来自HSS的消息可以是签约数据下载请求或位置更新响应。
本步骤中,接收到的来自第二服务节点的消息可以是UE上下文响应消息或UE上下文确认消息或UE上下文请求消息。
步骤401、第一服务节点根据接收到的消息判断出不能激活ISR,不激活ISR或进行ISR去激活。
进一步地,第一服务节点指示第二服务节点不激活ISR或进行ISR去激活。
本步骤中,第一服务节点根据接收到的消息判断出不能激活ISR包括:
第一服务节点判断出自身已激活ISR;并且,判断出接收到的来自HSS的签约数据下载请求中包括MTC事件配置信息,或ISR去激活指示;
其中,第一服务节点具体如何判断自身是否已激活ISR可以采用本领域技术人员的公知技术实现,并不用于限定本发明的保护范围,这里不再赘述。
或者,第一服务节点判断出自身已激活ISR,且判断出接收到的来自HSS的签约数据下载请求中包括MTC事件配置信息,且MTC事件配置信息中包括最大报告数量;
或者,第一服务节点判断出接收到的来自第二服务节点的UE上下文确认消息中不包括ISR激活指示,或包括ISR去激活指示。
或者,第一服务节点根据接收到的消息判断出不能激活ISR包括:
第一服务节点判断出接收到的来自第二服务节点的UE上下文响应消息中包括一个或一个以上MTC事件的剩余报告数量,或者判断出UE上下文响应消息中不包括ISR能力信息;相应地,

指示第二服务节点不激活ISR包括:
第一服务节点向所述第二服务节点发送UE上下文响应消息;其中,UE上下文响应消息中不包括ISR能力信息,还包括一个或一个以上MTC事件的剩余报告数量。
其中,具体如何判断自身是否已启动MTC事件监控可以采用本领域技术人员的公知技术实现,并不用于限定本发明的保护范围,这里不再赘述。
或者,第一服务节点根据接收到的消息判断出不能激活ISR包括:
第一服务节点判断出自身已激活ISR;并且,判断出接收到的来自HSS的位置更新响应中包括MTC事件配置信息,或判断出位置更新响应中包括ISR去激活指示;相应地,
指示第二服务节点进行ISR去激活包括:
第一服务节点重新向第二服务节点发送UE上下文确认消息;其中,UE上下文确认消息包括ISR去激活指示或不包括ISR激活指示。
本步骤中,第一服务节点为MME,第二服务节点为SGSN;或者第一服务节点为SGSN,第二服务节点为MME。
通过本发明的方案,在第一服务节点根据接收到的消息判断出不能激活ISR时,不激活ISR或进行ISR去激活,从而后续UE在E-UTRAN和UTRAN之间切换的过程中,避免SGSN、MME上剩余报告数量不同步情况的发生,控制SGSN、MME累计上报的MTC事件在最大报告数量的限定内,从而节省了网络信令,减小了网络开销。
下面通过具体实施例详细说明本发明的方法。
第一实施例,参见图5,该方法包括:
步骤500、UE附着到网络,ISR激活后,UE同时附着到SGSN、MME上。对于HSS而言,这意味着该UE同时注册到SGSN和MME上,而SGSN、MME同时注册到HSS上。
例如,UE位于E-UTRAN覆盖,向MME发起附着(Attach)请求,MME向HSS发送位置更新请求,则UE附着到MME上。当UE进入空闲态(IDLE)后移动到URAN覆盖范围,UE向SGSN发起RAU过程,SGSN在向MME获取UE上下文的交互过程中,激活ISR,SGSN向HSS发送位置更新请求,则UE也附着到SGSN上。
步骤501、当需要对UE进行MTC事件监控时,SCEF向HSS发送终端监控请求。
本步骤中,终端监控请求包括一个或多个MTC事件配置信息。
步骤502、HSS同时向SGSN、MME发送签约数据下载请求。

进一步地,当HSS判断出UE同时附着到SGSN、MME上,且MTC事件配置信息中设置有最大报告数量时,签约数据下载请求还包括ISR去激活指示。
步骤503、SGSN和MME分别存储签约数据下载请求中的MTC事件配置信息,并分别根据MTC事件配置信息启动MTC事件监控。
步骤504、SGSN和MME分别向HSS返回签约数据下载响应。
本步骤中,签约数据下载响应包括MTC事件配置结果信息,还可能包括MTC事件监控对应的MTC事件报告。
步骤505、HSS向SCEF发送终端监控响应。
本步骤中,终端监控响应中包括SGSN/MME所返回的MTC事件配置结果信息、MTC事件报告。
步骤506、SGSN和MME分别判断出自身已激活ISR,且签约数据下载请求中包括ISR去激活指示,分别进行ISR去激活。
步骤507、假设此时UE驻留在MME上,当MME检测到MTC事件发生时,MME根据MTC事件生成MTC事件报告。
步骤508、MME将生成的MTC事件报告发送给SCEF。
步骤509、UE从MME去附着。
步骤510,MME向HSS发送通知消息。
本步骤中,通知消息中包括各MTC事件对应的剩余报告数量。
步骤508、HSS根据剩余报告数量更新对应的MTC事件的最大报告数量。
在其后,由于ISR已去激活,而UE在去激活ISR后驻留在MME并从MME去附着,所以当UE长期不在SGSN上活动时,根据相关技术,SGSN启动隐式注销定时器,定时器超期后将UE从SGSN上隐式去附着,具体如何隐式去附着可以采用本领域技术人员的公知技术实现,并不用于限定本发明的保护范围,这里不再赘述。当SGSN隐式去附着UE后,SGSN可能会向HSS发送通知消息,携带SGSN所计算的各MTC的剩余报告数量。当HSS收到SGSN报告的剩余报告数量后,如果该剩余报告数量小于对应MTC时间配置信息中的最大报告数量,则HSS使用该剩余报告数量更新对应MTC事件配置信息中的最大报告数量。
第二实施例,参见图6,该方法包括:
步骤600、UE附着到网络,ISR激活后,UE同时附着到SGSN、MME上。
例如,UE位于E-UTRAN覆盖,向MME发起Attach请求,MME向HSS发送ULR,则UE附着到MME上。当UE进入空闲态(IDLE)后移动到URAN覆盖范围,UE向SGSN发起RAU过程,SGSN在向MME获取UE上下文的交互过程中,激活ISR,SGSN向HSS发送ULR,则UE也附着到SGSN上。
步骤601、当需要对UE进行MTC事件监控时,SCEF向HSS发送终端监控请求。
本步骤中,终端监控请求包括一个或多个MTC事件配置信息。
步骤602、HSS同时向SGSN、MME发送签约数据下载请求。
本步骤中,签约数据下载请求包括MTC事件配置信息。
步骤603、SGSN和MME分别存储签约数据下载请求中的MTC事件配置信息,并分别根据MTC事件配置信息启动MTC事件监控。

步骤606、SGSN和MME分别判断出需要去激活ISR,分别进行去激活ISR。
本步骤中,SGSN和MME分别判断出需要去激活ISR包括:
SGSN和MME分别判断出自身已激活ISR,且签约数据下载请求中包 括MTC事件配置信息;
或者,SGSN和MME分别判断出自身已激活ISR,且签约数据下载请求中包括MTC事件配置信息,且MTC事件配置信息中包括最大报告数量。

步骤709、SGSN向MME发送UE上下文请求消息。
步骤710、MME向SGSN返回UE上下文响应消息。
本步骤中,UE上下文响应消息包括各MTC事件对应的剩余报告数量。由于在前述步骤中MME启动了MTC事件监控,为了在MME和SGSN间同步剩余报告数量,MME需要向SGSN通知剩余报告数量。
本步骤中,UE上下文响应消息中可以包括ISR能力信息,也可以不包括ISR能力信息。
本步骤中,当MME判断出在MME上启动了MTC事件监控,则MME在UE上下文响应消息中可以不包括ISR能力信息,即使当前MME支持ISR功能。
步骤711、SGSN向MME返回UE上下文确认消息。
本步骤中,当SGSN判断出MME发送的UE上下文响应消息中不包括ISR能力信息,或判断出MME发送的UE上下文响应消息中包括一个或一个以上MTC事件的剩余报告数量时,则SGSN在UE上下文确认消息中不包括ISR激活指示或包括ISR去激活指示,并且SGSN不激活ISR能力。
