Definitions
- the present invention relates to the field of communications technologies, and in particular, to a bandwidth sharing method based on SDN control of a terminalized cell and a bandwidth sharing apparatus based on SDN control of a terminalized cell.
- the traditional macro cell With the wide application of LTE (Long Term Evolution) technology, the traditional macro cell (Macrocell) encounters the bottleneck of network construction and coverage. The hotspots and blind spots of the network need to be flexibly deployed to improve. In response to the above problem, the operator deploys a small cell (Small Cell) to implement deep coverage and capacity enhancement of the network to support future 5G ultra-dense networking.
- Small Cell Small Cell
- Figure 1 shows the network architecture and comparison of the three types of Small Cell solutions:
- the first type of Small Cell solution includes schemes for home base stations (such as Femtocell, Picocell, etc.), which require a cable-based backhaul and need to maintain the S1 and S5 interfaces on the cell-to-core side of the network. Access to the core network is only applicable to the areas where these cells are deployed. For areas where network coverage is not good enough to provide wireless coverage or areas that cannot provide backhaul, rapid deployment or short-term capacity improvement (such as public safety) cannot be implemented. Therefore, its flexibility is limited.
- home base stations such as Femtocell, Picocell, etc.

- the terminal implements access to the T-SC and the T-SC based wireless backhaul by using a D2D (Device-to-Device) technology and a Relay technology. Because the T-SC can provide access based on the LTE licensed band and wireless backhaul, the T-SC becomes the most flexible and controllable Small Cell access solution.

- Figure 10 shows a schematic block diagram of a base station in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention.
- a base station 1000 includes a bandwidth sharing apparatus 900 based on SDN control of a terminalized cell as shown in FIG.
- the technical solution of the present invention is mainly based on a T-SC wireless backhaul sharing scheme, and the basic idea is to introduce an SDN application in a terminal based on T-SC access-based backhaul selection, and through data plane routing configuration in a T-SC scenario.
- the backhaul resources of multiple T-SCs are bundled and provided to one T-SC for flexible bandwidth configuration.
- backhaul resources of multiple T-SCs can be bundled and provided for use by a high-bandwidth service (such as VR/AR/VHD) in a T-SC, that is, the bandwidth of these T-SCs.
- a high-bandwidth service such as VR/AR/VHD
- Data plane routing for high bandwidth service T-SC is shared.
- the data stream of the terminal 1102 reaches the base station 1110 through the T-SC 1104, and then reaches the network side server 1112. After the bandwidth is bundled, that is, after the bandwidth sharing, the high bandwidth service of the terminal 1102 is performed.
- the data stream is sent by the terminal 1102 to the T-SC 1104, and then divided into three parts (to bundle the bandwidth of the three T-SCs as an example): the part 1 reaches the base station 1110 through the T-SC 1104, and then reaches the network side server 1112; Part 2 arrives at T-SC 1106 through T-SC 1104, then arrives at base station 1110 through T-SC 1106, and then arrives at network side server 1112; Part 3 arrives at T-SC 1108 through T-SC 1104 and then arrives through T-SC 1108. The base station 1110 then reaches the network side server 1112.
- the present invention contemplates that in a wireless environment, if there is a certain T-SC bandwidth insufficient to support high bandwidth services and/or insufficient power to support high bandwidth services, and there are some T-SC bandwidth surpluses and sufficient power, then there is It is possible to share the bandwidth of these bandwidth-rich and fully-charged T-SCs for high-bandwidth service data plane routing of T-SCs with insufficient or insufficient current to meet the needs of high-bandwidth services.
- This may be a bandwidth bundling (ie bandwidth sharing) process triggered by a certain T-SC, or a bandwidth bundling process triggered by an eNB (base station), which is described below:
- the bandwidth bundling process triggered by the T-SC includes:
- Step 1202 In the initial state, a certain T-SC (T-SC1 shown in FIG. 12) uses only its own bandwidth for service data stream transmission.
- step 1204 the T-SC 1 determines whether the condition for triggering the bandwidth bundling is met. If yes, step 1206 is performed.
- step 1206 when the T-SC 1 determines that the triggering bandwidth bundling condition is met, the SDN controller is requested to configure the bundling bandwidth to carry the service information of the T-SC 1.
- the condition for triggering bandwidth bundling is that the T-SC 1 performs judgment based on its own state information (including its service bandwidth, available bandwidth, energy consumption state, and the like). For example, when T-SC 1 processes high-bandwidth services (that is, service bandwidth exceeds a certain threshold), and its available bandwidth is insufficient to support high-bandwidth services, or when T-SC 1 is low, bandwidth bundling can be triggered to utilize Some nearby T-SC backhauls transmit their business data.
- the request signaling for triggering the bandwidth bundling is sent by the T-SC 1 to the eNB, and then forwarded by the eNB to the SDN controller, similar to the NAS (Non-Access Stratum, which arrives at the MME (Mobility Management Entity)).
- Non-access stratum Non-access stratum signaling.
- the request signaling carries some necessary information for bandwidth bundling, including the service bandwidth of T-SC 1, remaining power, available bandwidth, and the like.
- Step 1208 after receiving the request of the T-SC 1, the SDN controller calculates a T-SC set from the global optimal angle, and the set includes a total of N, including the T-SC 1, and other N-1
- the T-SC together provides bandwidth bundling for the T-SC 1.
- the size of N(N ⁇ 2) can be selected based on different criteria, such as the computing power of the SDN controller (N cannot be taken too much), and the data characteristics of the high-bandwidth service itself (for example, virtual reality VR data transmission can be divided into The basic part and the enhancement part can be selected by placing different parts on different T-SCs).
- step 1210 the SDN controller splits the service data of the T-SC 1 into N shares.
- Step 1212 The SDN controller configures a routing policy of the service data, and delivers the routing policy to the N T-SCs of the eNB and the T-SC set (T-SC 1, T-SC 2, ... in FIG. 12, T-SC n).
- the SDN controller sends the eNB routing policy signaling directly to the eNB, and the SDN control
- the routing policy signaling sent by the controller to the T-SC is forwarded by the eNB, similar to NAS signaling.
- step 1214 the corresponding T-SC and the eNB sequentially execute the routing table, and part of the data stream of the high bandwidth service can be transmitted through the bandwidth of different T-SCs.
- the bandwidth bundling process triggered by the eNB includes:
- Step 1302 In the initial state, a certain T-SC (T-SC1 shown in FIG. 13) uses only its own bandwidth for service data stream transmission.
- Step 1304 the eNB determines whether the condition for triggering bandwidth bundling is met, and if yes, step 1306 is performed.
- Step 1306 when the eNB determines that the triggering bandwidth bundling condition is met, the SDN controller is requested to configure the bundling bandwidth to carry the service information of the T-SC 1.
- the condition for triggering bandwidth bundling is that the eNB determines based on its own state information (including its Uu link bandwidth allocation, bandwidth provision cost, etc.). For example, when the available bandwidth of the T-SC 1 cannot meet the requirements of the high-bandwidth service, and the available bandwidth of the base station is insufficient to be allocated to the T-SC 1, or when the eNB provides too high a cost, the bandwidth bundling is triggered, and some nearby Ts are utilized.
- the -SC backhaul provides the cost of its data transmission bandwidth or reduced bandwidth.
- the request signaling for triggering the bandwidth bundling is directly sent by the eNB to the SDN controller.
- the request signaling carries some necessary information for bandwidth bundling, including the service bandwidth of T-SC 1, remaining power, available bandwidth, and the like.
- the T-SC together provides bandwidth bundling for the T-SC 1.
- the size of N(N ⁇ 2) can be selected based on different criteria, such as the computing power of the SDN controller (N cannot be taken too much), and the data characteristics of the high-bandwidth service itself (for example, virtual reality VR data transmission can be divided into The basic part and the enhancement part can be selected by placing different parts on different T-SCs).
- step 1310 the SDN controller splits the service data of the T-SC 1 into N shares.
- Step 1312 The SDN controller configures a routing policy of the service data, and delivers the routing policy to the N T-SCs of the eNB and the T-SC set (T-SC 1, T-SC 2, ... in FIG. 13) T-SC n).
- the routing policy signaling sent by the SDN controller to the eNB directly arrives at the eNB, and the routing policy signaling sent by the SDN controller to the T-SC is forwarded by the eNB, similar to NAS signaling.
- step 1314 the corresponding T-SC and the eNB sequentially execute the routing table, and part of the data stream of the high bandwidth service can be transmitted through the bandwidth of different T-SCs.

Description
本申请要求于2016年2月3日提交中国专利局,申请号为201610077969.8、发明名称为“终端化小区基于SDN控制的带宽共享方法及带宽共享装置”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。
本发明涉及通信技术领域,具体而言,涉及一种终端化小区基于SDN控制的带宽共享方法和一种终端化小区基于SDN控制的带宽共享装置。
随着LTE(Long Term Evolution,长期演进)技术的大范围应用,传统的宏小区(Macrocell)遇到了建网和覆盖的瓶颈,网络的热点和盲点亟需灵活的部署方案来完善。针对上述问题,运营商在采用宏小区覆盖的同时部署了小小区(Small Cell)来实现网络的深度覆盖和容量提升,从而来支持未来5G超密集组网。
图1给出了三类Small Cell方案的网络架构示意图和对比:
第一类Small Cell方案包括了家庭基站(如Femtocell、Picocell等)的方案,这类方案需要基于有线的回程(backhaul)且需要维护小区到核心网一侧的S1,S5接口,以这种架构接入到核心网,只适用于部署了这些小区的区域,对于网络覆盖不佳以至于无法提供无线覆盖或者无法提供backhaul的区域,无法实现快速部署或需短期容量提升的场景(例如公共安全),因此它的灵活度有限。
第二类方案包括MiFi路由器方案,这类方案虽然是基于无线backhaul,但是终端接入MiFi工作在WLAN(Wireless Local Area
Networks,无线局域网)非授权频段,容易被干扰以至于QoS(Quality of Service,服务质量)难以得到保证。
第三类方案是通过终端来提供Small Cell接入,即T-SC(Terminal Small Cell,终端化小区)。终端利用D2D(Device-to-Device,终端直连)技术、Relay技术等实现接入T-SC和基于T-SC的无线backhaul。因为T-SC能提供基于LTE授权频段的接入和无线backhaul,使T-SC成为最为灵活可控制的Small Cell接入方案。
在第三类方案中,被T-SC汇聚的终端,实际上是以T-SC与网络建立的无线承载作为无线回程来接入的,借助于T-SC之间基于D2D X2接口协作的方式,可以将多个T-SC的无线回程进行共享,灵活度相对于传统small cell技术更高。但在实际利用T-SC的无线回程资源时,被T-SC汇聚的终端到网络侧的路由仍然受限于T-SC的能耗状态、可用带宽以及提供接入的代价等因素,按照现有技术,无法有效地利用这些全局状态信息,从而可能造成这种无线回程共享机制难以得到应用。
因此,如何能够有效保证T-SC之间的无线回程共享机制得到应用,以实现灵活的带宽配置成为亟待解决的技术问题。
发明内容
本发明正是基于上述技术问题至少之一,提出了一种新的终端化小区基于SDN(Software Defined Network,软件定义网络)控制的带宽共享方案,使得SDN控制器可以将多个T-SC在回程链路上的带宽资源捆绑起来提供给高带宽业务使用,保证了T-SC之间的无线回程共享机制能够得到应用,实现了灵活配置回程链路上的带宽资源的技术效果。

在该技术方案中,任一终端化小区通过在处理回程链路上的高带宽业务(即上述目标业务,其带宽需求大于或等于第一预定阈值)时,若确定需要由其他终端化小区提供共享带宽,则通过基站向SDN控制器发送共享带宽的触发请求,使得SDN控制器可以选择向上述任一终端化小区提供共享带宽的至少一个终端化小区,以控制上述任一终端化小区和选择出的至少一个终端化小区共同处理目标业务,进而确保SDN控制器可以将多个T-SC在回程链路上的带宽资源捆绑起来提供给该高带宽业务使用,保证了T-SC之间的无线回程共享机制能够得到应用,实现了灵活配置回程链路上的带宽资源的技术效果。

如图10所示,根据本发明的实施例的基站1000,包括:如图9中所示的终端化小区基于SDN控制的带宽共享装置900。
综上所述,本发明的技术方案主要是基于T-SC的无线回程共享方案,基本思想是引入SDN应用在终端基于T-SC接入的回程选择,通过T-SC场景中数据面路由配置将多个T-SC的回程资源捆绑起来提供给一个T-SC使用,从而实现灵活的带宽配置。
具体地,在移动环境中,可以将多个T-SC的回程资源捆绑起来提供给一个T-SC下的高带宽业务(如VR/AR/VHD等业务)使用,即这些T-SC的带宽共享出来用于高带宽业务T-SC的数据面路由。如图11所示,在带宽捆绑前,终端1102的数据流通过T-SC 1104到达基站1110,再到达网络侧服务器1112;在带宽捆绑后,即进行带宽共享后,终端1102的高带宽业务的数据流由终端1102到达T-SC 1104,然后分为三部分(以将3个T-SC的带宽进行捆绑为例):部分1通过T-SC 1104到达基站1110,再到达网络侧服务器1112;部分2通过T-SC 1104到达T-SC 1106,然后通过T-SC 1106到达基站1110,再到达网络侧服务器1112;部分3通过T-SC 1104到达T-SC 1108,然后通过T-SC 1108到达基站1110,再到达网络侧服务器1112。
以下详细说明本发明的具体实现过程:
本发明设想在无线环境下,若存在某个T-SC带宽不足以支持高带宽业务和/或电量不足以支持高带宽业务,同时还存在某些T-SC带宽富余且电量充足,那么就有可能将这些带宽富余且电量充足的T-SC的带宽共享出来用于提供给带宽不足或电流不足的T-SC的高带宽业务数据面路由,以满足高带宽业务的需求。这个可以是由某个T-SC触发的带宽捆绑(即带宽共享)过程,也可以是eNB(基站)触发的带宽捆绑过程,以下分别进行说明:
一、T-SC触发的带宽捆绑过程,具体如图12所示,包括:
步骤1202,初始状态时,某个T-SC(图12中所示的T-SC1)只使用自己的带宽进行业务数据流传输。
步骤1204,T-SC 1判断是否满足触发带宽捆绑的条件,若是,则执行步骤1206。
步骤1206,当T-SC 1判断满足触发带宽捆绑条件时,向SDN控制器请求配置捆绑带宽,携带T-SC 1的业务信息。
其中,触发带宽捆绑的条件是T-SC 1基于自身状态信息(包括其业务带宽、可用带宽、能耗状态等)进行的判断。例如,当T-SC 1处理高带宽业务(即业务带宽超过一定阈值),且其可用带宽不足以支持高带宽业务时,又或者是T-SC 1电量不足时,可以触发带宽捆绑,以利用一些就近的T-SC回程传输其业务数据。
并且,触发带宽捆绑的请求信令是T-SC 1发送给eNB,再由eNB转发至SDN控制器的,类似于到达MME(Mobility Management Entity,移动性管理实体)的NAS(Non-Access Stratum,非接入层)信令。该请求信令携带了用于带宽捆绑的一些必要的信息,包括T-SC 1的业务带宽、剩余电量、可用带宽等。
步骤1208,SDN控制器收到T-SC 1的请求后,为其从全局最优的角度计算出一个T-SC集合,该集合包括T-SC 1在内总共N个,其他N-1个T-SC一起为T-SC 1提供带宽捆绑。
其中,N(N≥2)的大小选择可以基于不同的准则,比如SDN控制器的计算能力(N不能取的太大),高带宽业务本身的数据特点(例如虚拟现实VR数据传输可以分为基本部分和增强部分,可以选择不同部分放在不同T-SC上路由)等。
步骤1210,SDN控制器将T-SC 1的业务数据拆分为N份。
步骤1212,SDN控制器配置业务数据的路由策略,并将路由策略下发到eNB和T-SC集合的N个T-SC中(图12中的T-SC 1、T-SC 2、…、T-SC n)。
其中,SDN控制器下发到eNB路由策略信令直接到达eNB,SDN控
制器下发到T-SC的路由策略信令是由eNB转发的,类似于NAS信令。
步骤1214,相应的T-SC和eNB依次执行路由表,则高带宽业务的部分数据流就可以通过不同T-SC的带宽进行传输。
二、eNB触发的带宽捆绑过程,具体如图13所示,包括:
步骤1302,初始状态时,某个T-SC(图13中所示的T-SC1)只使用自己的带宽进行业务数据流传输。
步骤1304,eNB判断是否满足触发带宽捆绑的条件,若是,则执行步骤1306。
步骤1306,当eNB判断满足触发带宽捆绑条件时,向SDN控制器请求配置捆绑带宽,携带T-SC 1的业务信息。
其中,触发带宽捆绑的条件是eNB基于自身状态信息(包括其Uu链路带宽分配情况、带宽提供代价等)的判断。例如,当T-SC 1的可用带宽不能满足高带宽业务的需求,且基站的可用带宽不足以分配给T-SC 1时,或eNB提供代价过高时,触发带宽捆绑,利用一些就近的T-SC回程提供其数据传输的带宽或者降低带宽提供代价。
并且,触发带宽捆绑的请求信令是eNB直接发送到SDN控制器。该请求信令携带了用于带宽捆绑的一些必要的信息,包括T-SC 1的业务带宽、剩余电量、可用带宽等。
步骤1308,SDN控制器收到eNB的请求后,为T-SC 1从全局最优的角度计算出一个T-SC集合,该集合包括T-SC 1在内总共N个,其他N-1个T-SC一起为T-SC 1提供带宽捆绑。
其中,N(N≥2)的大小选择可以基于不同的准则,比如SDN控制器的计算能力(N不能取的太大),高带宽业务本身的数据特点(例如虚拟现实VR数据传输可以分为基本部分和增强部分,可以选择不同部分放在不同T-SC上路由)等。
步骤1310,SDN控制器将T-SC 1的业务数据拆分为N份。
步骤1312,SDN控制器配置业务数据的路由策略,并将路由策略下发到eNB和T-SC集合的N个T-SC中(图13中的T-SC 1、T-SC 2、…、T-SC n)。
其中,SDN控制器下发到eNB路由策略信令直接到达eNB,SDN控制器下发到T-SC的路由策略信令是由eNB转发的,类似于NAS信令。
步骤1314,相应的T-SC和eNB依次执行路由表,则高带宽业务的部分数据流就可以通过不同T-SC的带宽进行传输。
