- 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.

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.

Split the backhaul resources of one T-SC into multiple T-SCs for flexible bandwidth configuration.
- a T-SC backhaul resource can be split into multiple T-SCs of low-bandwidth services (such as the Internet of Things smart meter reading service), that is, bandwidth sharing of a T-SC.
- Low-bandwidth services such as the Internet of Things smart meter reading service
- Outgoing low-bandwidth service data plane routing for multiple T-SCs As shown in FIG. 11, the system with three T-SCs is taken as an example.

- the bandwidth of a certain T-SC can be divided into multiple low-bandwidth service data plane routes for multiple T-SCs to meet the needs of low-bandwidth services. This may be a bandwidth sharing process triggered by multiple T-SCs, or a bandwidth sharing 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, each T-SC (T-SC 1, T-SC 2, ..., T-SC n shown in FIG. 12) uses only its own bandwidth for service data stream transmission.
- Step 1204 When any T-SC determines that the trigger bandwidth sharing condition is met, request the SDN controller to configure the shared bandwidth.
- the condition for triggering bandwidth sharing is that each T-SC judges based on its own state information (including its service bandwidth, available bandwidth, energy consumption state, etc.). For example, when T-SC 1 processes low-bandwidth services (that is, the service bandwidth is below a certain threshold), and its available bandwidth is insufficient to support low-bandwidth services, or when T-SC 1 is insufficient, bandwidth sharing can be triggered.

- 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 1304 When the eNB determines that the trigger bandwidth sharing condition is met, the SDN controller sends a request to configure the shared bandwidth.
- the condition for triggering bandwidth sharing is that the eNB determines based on its own state information (including its Uu link bandwidth allocation, bandwidth provision cost, etc.). For example, when there are several T-SCs whose available bandwidth cannot meet the requirements of low-bandwidth services, and the available bandwidth of the eNB is insufficient to allocate to these T-SCs, or when the cost of providing bandwidth by the eNB is too high, bandwidth sharing can be triggered. Providing the bandwidth of all of these T-SC data transmissions using a nearby T-SC backhaul resource or reducing the integrated bandwidth provides a cost.
- the request signaling for triggering bandwidth sharing is directly sent by the eNB to the SDN controller.
- the request signaling carries some necessary information for bandwidth sharing, including service bandwidth, remaining power, available bandwidth, and the like of each T-SC.
- Step 1306 after receiving the bandwidth sharing request sent by the eNB, the SDN controller calculates a T-SC to provide bandwidth sharing for each T-SC from a global optimal angle, and selects T-SC 1 as other n as shown in FIG. - 1 T-SC (ie T-SC 2, T-SC 3, ..., T-SC n) provides bandwidth enjoy.
- 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), the data characteristics of the low bandwidth service itself, and the T-initiating bandwidth sharing within a period of time. The number of SCs, etc.
- Step 1308, the SDN controller configures a routing policy of the service data, and delivers the routing policy to the eNB and the n T-SCs (T-SC 1, T-SC 2, ..., T-SC shown in Figure 13). 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 1310 The corresponding T-SC and the eNB sequentially execute the routing table, and the data streams of different low bandwidth services (and the service data stream of the T-SC 1 itself) are transmitted through the bandwidth of the T-SC 1.
- the technical solution of the foregoing embodiment of the present invention can be used in the mobile environment, when the T-SC uses the radio bearer as the backhaul, the T-SC backhaul resource is split into multiple T-SCs of the low bandwidth service, which is flexible. Bandwidth configuration.

Description
本申请要求于2016年2月3日提交中国专利局,申请号为201610075748.7、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控制器可以将可用带宽较富裕的目标T-SC在回程链路上的带宽资源切分一部分提供给该低带宽业务使用,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。
有鉴于此,根据本发明的第一方面,提出了一种终端化小区基于SDN控制的带宽共享方法,包括:SDN控制器确定是否接收到共享带宽的触发请求,所述触发请求表明任一终端化小区在处理回程链路上的目标业务时,需要由其他终端化小区提供共享带宽,且所述目标业务的带宽需求小于或等于第一预定阈值;在确定接收到所述触发请求时,选择向所述
任一终端化小区提供共享带宽的目标终端化小区;控制所述目标终端化小区处理所述目标业务。
在该技术方案中,SDN控制器通过在接收到共享带宽的触发请求时,选择向上述任一终端化小区提供共享带宽的目标终端化小区,以控制选择出的目标终端化小区处理目标业务,使得对于任一T-SC回程链路上的低带宽业务(即上述的目标业务,其带宽需求小于或等于第一预定阈值),若该T-SC的可用带宽不足或电量较低等问题导致需要由其他T-SC提供共享带宽时,SDN控制器可以将可用带宽较富裕的目标T-SC在回程链路上的带宽资源切分一部分提供给该低带宽业务使用,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低带宽业务(即上述目标业务,其带宽需求小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目标终端化小区,以控制选择出的目标终端化小区处理目标业务,进而确保SDN控制器可以将可用带宽较富裕的目标T-SC在回程链路上的带宽资源切分一部分提供给低带宽业务(即目标业务)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,当任一终端化小区的可用带宽较多(即大于或等于第二预定阈值),且剩余电量也较多(即大于或等于第二预定电量值)时,可以向SDN控制器发送自身的信息,以便于SDN控制器确定是否选择其向其他终端化小区提供共享带宽。

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一个T-SC的回程资源切分给多个T-SC使用,从而实现灵活的带宽配置。
具体地,在移动环境中,可以将把一个T-SC的回程资源切分给多个低带宽业务的T-SC使用(如物联网智能抄表业务),即将某个T-SC的带宽共享出来用于多个T-SC的低带宽业务数据面路由。如图11所示,以具有三个T-SC的系统为例进行说明:在共享T-SC 1106的带宽资源之前,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;终端1114的数据流通过T-SC 1106到达基站1110,再到达网络侧服务器1112;终端1116的数据流通过T-SC 1108到达基站1110,再到达网络侧服务器1112。在共享T-SC 1106的带宽资源之后,终端1102
的数据流通过T-SC 1104传输至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;终端1114的数据流通过T-SC 1106到达基站1110,再到达网络侧服务器1112;终端1116的数据流通过T-SC 1108传输至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。
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带宽富余、电量富余,同时还存在某些T-SC带宽不足以支持低带宽业务和/或电量不足以支持低带宽业务,那么就有可以将某个T-SC的带宽切分成多份用于多个T-SC的低带宽业务数据面路由,以满足低带宽业务的需求。这个可以是由多个T-SC触发的带宽分享过程,也可以是eNB(基站)触发的带宽分享过程,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,每个T-SC(图12中所示的T-SC 1、T-SC 2、…、T-SC n)只使用自己的带宽进行业务数据流传输。
步骤1204,当任一T-SC判断满足触发带宽分享条件时,向SDN控制器请求配置分享带宽。
其中,触发带宽分享的条件是各T-SC基于自身状态信息(包括其业务带宽、可用带宽、能耗状态等)的判断。例如,当T-SC 1处理低带宽业务(即业务带宽低于一定阈值),且其可用带宽不足以支持低带宽业务,又或者是T-SC 1电量不足时,可以触发带宽分享,利用一些就近的T-SC回程传输其业务数据。
并且,触发带宽分析的请求信令是各T-SC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,包括各T-SC的业务带宽、剩余电量、可用带宽等。
步骤1206,SDN控制器收到一些T-SC的带宽分享请求后,为其从全局最优的角度计算出一个T-SC提供带宽分享,如图12所示选择T-SC 1
为其他n-1个T-SC(即T-SC 2、T-SC 3、…、T-SC n)提供带宽分享。
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)、低带宽业务本身的数据特点、一段时间内发起带宽分享的T-SC个数等。
步骤1208,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n个T-SC中(图12中所示的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1210,相应的T-SC和eNB依次执行路由表,则不同低带宽业务的数据流(和T-SC 1自身的业务数据流)通过T-SC 1的带宽进行传输。
二、eNB触发的带宽分享过程,具体如图13所示,包括:
步骤1302,初始状态时,每个T-SC(图13的T-SC 1、T-SC 2、…、T-SC n)只使用自己的带宽进行业务数据流传输。
步骤1304,当eNB判断满足触发带宽分享条件时,向SDN控制器发送请求配置分享带宽。
其中,触发带宽分享的条件是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,当存在好几个T-SC的可用带宽不能满足低带宽业务的需求,且eNB的可用带宽不足以分配给这几个T-SC时,或者eNB提供带宽的代价过高时可以触发带宽分享,利用就近的某个T-SC的回程资源提供所有这些T-SC数据传输的带宽或者降低综合的带宽提供代价。
并且,触发带宽分享的请求信令是eNB直接发送到SDN控制器。该请求信令携带了用于带宽分享的一些必要的信息,包括各T-SC的业务带宽、剩余电量、可用带宽等。
步骤1306,SDN控制器收到eNB发送的带宽分享请求后,为各T-SC从全局最优的角度计算出一个T-SC提供带宽分享,如图13所示选择T-SC 1为其他n-1个T-SC(即T-SC 2、T-SC 3、…、T-SC n)提供带宽分
享。
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)、低带宽业务本身的数据特点、一段时间内发起带宽分享的T-SC个数等。
步骤1308,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n个T-SC中(图13中所示的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1310,相应的T-SC和eNB依次执行路由表,则不同低带宽业务的数据流(和T-SC 1自身的业务数据流)通过T-SC 1的带宽进行传输。
本发明上述实施例的技术方案可用于在移动环境中,T-SC使用无线承载作为backhaul时,将一个T-SC的回程资源切分给多个低带宽业务的T-SC使用,实现了灵活的带宽配置。
