Description

一种基于流的承载管理方法、数据传输方法及装置 技术领域
本申请涉及但不限于移动通信技术,尤指一种基于流的承载管理方法、数据传输方法及装置。
背景技术
在过去的几十年间,移动通信网络经历了持续的发展,从2G、3G一直发展到4G,在此过程中新型通信设备,比如智能终端,手持式平板电脑等不断涌现,而新型通信设备的出现又催生了大量新型应用、新型通信场景的产生,从而使得下一代/5G移动通信系统,将从目前以人为中心的通信发展到既包括人际间通信也包括物体间通信的万物互联系统。
为实现万物互联,5G系统将使用一切有可能使用的网络,因此就移动通信技术本身而言,5G系统不是单一的仅使用一种无线接入技术的系统,而是可以使用包括已有无线接入技术以及新设计的无线接入技术的融合系统,比如融合使用4G中的长期演进(Long Term Evaluation,LTE)接入技术,4G进一步演进之后的LTE(evolved LTE,eLTE)技术,无线本地局域网相关技术(Wireless Local Area Network,WLAN),5G中新设计的无线接入技术,采用这些不同无线接入技术的无线接入网(Radio Access Network,RAN)(简称接入网)以灵活可插拔的方式接入到统一的核心网中。
为确保网络的可扩展性,5G系统需要去耦合设计核心网(Core Network,CN)和接入网,也即核心网和接入网可以独立演进,不会因为一侧网络的增强或改变而导致另一侧网络需要做出同步增强或改变,换句话说,5G系统中核心网的设计需要做到对不同的无线接入网无感知。
无论是支持人际间通信还是支持物体间通信,不同的应用服务、不同的应用场景都对通信过程中的服务质量(Quality of Service,QoS)有相应的要求,保证一致的QoS是5G系统中需要考虑的一个重要因素。
目前第三代合作伙伴项目(3GPP,the 3rd Generation Partnership Project) 定义的系统中,核心网对业务QoS的保证是和接入网所采用的无线接入技术相关的,接入网根据核心网通知的QoS参数进行数据调度传输。以LTE的QoS机制为例,数据传输时以承载(bearer)作为最小QoS处理单位,如图1为LTE中以承载粒度执行QoS处理进行数据传输的结构示意图。图1只示例用户设备(UE)和分组数据网络(Public Data Network,PDN)之间建立一个PDN连接(PDN connection)的情况,为服务于该PDN连接上具有不同QoS需求的业务,核心网可以在UE和PDN网关(PDN gateway,P-GW)之间建立多个演进分组系统承载(Evolved Packet System bearer,EPS bearer),每个EPS bearer上承载一个或多个业务流(traffic flow),承载在一个EPS bearer上的一个或者多个业务流将具有相同的QoS。EPS bearer是UE和P-GW之间的端到端逻辑承载,EPS bearer在LTE网络架构中在所经过的三个网络接口上对应建立了三段承载,包括建立在P-GW与服务网关(Serving Gateway,S-GW)接口上的S5/S8bearer,建立在S-GW与基站(eNB)接口上的S1-bearer以及建立在eNB和UE之间空中接口上的无线承载(Radio Bearer,RB),其中S1-bearer和RB一起又被定义为UE与S-GW之间的演进统一陆地无线接入网承载(E-UTRAN Radio Access Bearer,E-RAB)。核心网建立EPS bearer时,会通知eNB每个E-RAB(即EPS bearer在E-URTAN侧的一段承载)的QoS参数,eNB对应在空中接口上建立和UE之间的RB,其中eNB根据收到的E-RAB粒度的QoS参数,确定对应RB的参数设置,eNB和UE根据所确定的RB参数设置,进行数据调度传输,保证空中接口上RB级别的QoS。
3GPP系统中这种核心网和接入网耦合在一起的以承载为粒度执行QoS处理进行传输的方法,并不满足未来5G系统核心网和接入网去耦合设计的目标。

详述
下文中将结合附图对本发明的实施例进行详细说明。需要说明的是,在不冲突的情况下,本申请中的实施例及实施例中的特征可以相互任意组合。
在附图的流程图示出的步骤可以在诸如一组计算机可执行指令的计算机系统中执行。并且,虽然在流程图中示出了逻辑顺序,但是在某些情况下,可以以不同于此处的顺序执行所示出或描述的步骤。
在展开对发明方案的详细阐述前,本申请先简单介绍当前3GPP定义的演进分组系统(Evolved Packet System bearer,EPS)和业界认可的下一代移动通信系统的网络结构。
如图2所示,为3GPP定义的EPS网络结构图,EPS包括接入网和核心网。其中,接入网根据所采用的无线接入技术的不同,可以是演进统一陆地无线接入网(Evolved Universal Terrestrial Radio Access Network,E-UTRAN),或者统一陆地无线接入网(Universal Terrestrial Radio Access Network,UTRAN),或者全球移动通信系统增强数据率演进无线接入网(GSM EDGE Radio Access Network,GERAN)。核心网包含完成不同功能的网元/实体,可以包括:归属用户服务器(Home Subscriber Server,HSS)、移动性管理实体(Mobility Management Entity,MME)、服务GPRS支持节点(Serving GPRS Support Node,SGSN)、策略计费规则功能(Policy and Charging Rule Function,PCRF)实体、S-GW、P-GW和PDN。
如图3为简化示意的下一代移动通信系统的网络结构图,下一代移动通信系统同样包括接入网和核心网。下一代移动通信系统的核心网需要支持网络功能虚拟化和软件定义网络,在图3中,将核心网按大功能分成控制面功能(Control Plane function,CP功能)和用户面功能(User Plane function,UP功能)。CP功能根据所完成的实际功能,可以包含类似演进分组系统中MME、S-GW控制面、P-GW控制面、PCRF等实体所完成的功能,且CP功 能可以在同一个网元/实体上实现,或者根据需要在超过一个网元/实体上实现。UP功能根据所完成的实际功能,可以包含类似演进分组系统中的S-GW用户面、P-GW用户面等实体所完成的功能,同样UP功能可以在同一个网元/实体上实现,或者根据需要在超过一个网元/实体上实现。如果CP功能在超过一个网元/实体上实现,则有可能这些网元/实体均与AN有接口,也可能所有这些网元/实体仅通过其中一个网元/实体实现与AN之间的唯一接口。为使得下一代移动通信系统不同的接入网以灵活可插拔的方式接入到如图3所示的统一的核心网中,图3所示的网络结构也不排除AN和CN之间会存在适配不同AN接入到统一CN的适配层,如果存在适配层,则CN和AN之间的接口将包括CN和适配层之间的接口和适配层与AN之间的接口,本发明实施例所涉及的接口均是逻辑接口,并不限定其物理接口特性。
这里的接入网(AN)是一个统称,可以是采用不同无线接入技术的接入网,比如采用LTE/eLTE技术接入网,采用WLAN相关技术的接入网,采用5G中的引入的新无线技术(New Radio,NR)的接入网等。AN包括实现相关无线接入技术功能的一个或多个网元/实体,比如eNB,再比如中央单元(Central Unit,CU),远端单元(Remote Unit,RU),再比如适配单元等。其中相关无线接入技术功能,以LTE或eLTE为例,包括无线资源控制(Radio Resource Control,RRC)功能,分组数据汇聚协议(Packet Data Convergence Protocol,PDCP)功能、无线链路控制(Radio Link Control,RLC)功能、媒体接入(Media Access Contrl,MAC)功能,物理层(Physical,PHY)功能等,这些功能在eNB中实现,而eNB在实际物理实现时还可以分为基带处理单元(BaseBand Unit,BBU)和远端射频单元(Remote Radio Unit,RRU)等。而在NR中,无线接入技术功能可能包括RRC、PDCP、RLC、MAC、PHY中部分或全部功能,甚至还包括新设计的功能,这些功能在同一个网元/实体eNB中实现,或者分布在CU和RU中实现,或者分布在CU、RU和适配单元上实现,分布方式可以根据不同的场景,不同的需求灵活配置。
基于图3所示的下一代移动通信系统的网络结构图,本发明实施例提出一种基于流的无线承载管理方法,如图4为本发明实施例基于流的承载管理方法的方法流程图,包括:
步骤401.AN侧网元根据服务质量描述信息或者根据服务质量描述信息以及接收到的数据包中的包描述信息进行无线承载(RB)管理;其中,所述服务质量描述信息包括如下信息的一种或两种组合:服务等级信息、流描述信息;
这里,所述AN侧网元即为上文提到的实现相关无线接入技术功能的一个、两个或多个网元/实体。例如,可以是eNB、CU、RU、适配单元等中的一个或两个或多个。
其中,服务等级信息包括服务等级标记信息,以及如下信息中的至少一个优先级、数据包延时、数据包丢包率、最大数据速率。实际应用中,服务等级信息可以是以不同的服务等级标记信息标识的,服务等级信息可以以信息列表的形式存在,该信息列表以服务等级标记信息标识,并且可以包括不限于优先级、数据包延时、数据包丢包率、最大数据速率中的至少一个。例如,所述服务等级标记信息可以是差分服务代码点(Differentiated Services Code Point,DSCP)信息,也可以是QoS分类标识信息,也可以是表征服务等级的其他编码信息。
其中,流描述信息至少包括流标识信息、流路由信息、和带宽信息;还可以包括分配与抢占优先级(Allocation and Retention Priority,ARP)信息。这里,所述流路由信息至少包括源IP地址/IP网络前缀,目标IP地址/IP网络前缀,源端口号,目标端口号IP的上层协议的协议标识等。所述流描述信息是以不同的流标识信息标识的,流描述信息可以以信息列表的形式存在,该信息列表以流标识信息标识,至少包括流路由信息和带宽信息,还可以包括ARP信息。
其中,包描述信息包括如下信息中的至少一个:服务等级标记信息、流路由信息;
其中,步骤401中的无线承载管理包括无线承载建立、修改、删除等。
其中,服务等级信息是预定义的或者是从CN获取到的。流描述信息是从CN获取到的,故上述方法还可以包括步骤400(a)和400(b)中的一个或两个:400(a)、AN侧网元从核心网(CN)获取服务等级信息;400(b)、AN侧网元从CN获取流描述信息。
如图4所示,对于无线承载可用于上行传输的情况下,本发明实施例的方法还可以包括:步骤402、AN侧网元通知UE服务质量描述信息与无线承载之间的映射关系。其中,所述通知的映射关系中的无线承载至少包括可用于上行传输的无线承载。
本发明实施例中,下行传输是指数据由CN传输给AN,再由AN传输给UE的情况;上行传输是指数据由UE传输给AN,再由AN传输给CN的情况。
其中,所述服务等级信息用服务等级标记信息标识,所述流描述信息用流标识信息标识且包含流路由信息,所述无线承载用无线承载标识信息标识,则AN侧网元可以通过服务等级标记信息与无线承载标识信息的映射关系通知UE所述服务等级信息与无线承载之间的映射关系;AN侧网元可以通过流标识信息与无线承载标识信息之间的映射关系通知UE所述流描述信息与无线承载之间的映射关系,流标识信息与无线承载标识信息之间的映射关系中包括每个流标识信息所标识的流的流路由信息。或者对于流描述信息的情况,AN侧网元还可以通过流路由信息与无线承载标识信息之间的映射关系通知UE所述流描述信息与无线承载之间的映射关系。也就是说,AN侧网元可以通过如下方式中的一种或多种表示与无线承载标识信息的映射关系:AN侧网元可以通过服务等级标记信息与无线承载标识信息的映射关系表示所述服务等级信息与所述无线承载之间的映射关系;AN侧网元可以通过流标识信息与无线承载标识信息之间的映射关系表示所述流描述信息与所述无线承载之间的映射关系;AN侧网元可以通过流路由信息与无线承载标识信息之间的映射关系表示所述流描述信息与所述无线承载之间的映射关系。
其中,所述管理无线承载,包括:根据所述服务等级信息建立无线承载,得到所述服务等级信息与所述无线承载之间的映射关系;或者,接收数据包,并根据所述服务等级信息和所述数据包中的包描述信息建立无线承载,得到所述服务等级信息与所述无线承载之间的映射关系,所述包描述信息为服务等级标记信息;或者,所述管理无线承载,包括:根据所述流描述信息建立无线承载,得到所述流描述信息与无线承载之间的映射关系;或者,接收数据包,并根据所述流描述信息和所述数据包中的包描述信息建立无线承载, 得到所述流描述信息与所述无线承载之间的映射关系,所述包描述信息为流路由信息。这里,所述数据包来自CN或UE。其中,所述数据包来自UE时,在默认承载上接收所述UE传输的所述数据包。

其中,所述UE在接收来自接入网AN的服务质量描述信息与无线承载之间的映射关系之前,所述方法还包括:所述UE在默认承载上向所述AN发送数据包。
以下就AN侧网元进行无线承载管理所依据的不同信息,针对不同的应用场景详细说明本发明实施例方法的实现过程。
实施例一
实施例一详细说明AN侧网元根据服务等级信息进行RB管理的方法,实施例一的方法适用于没有特定比特速率要求的业务或数据流的传输。如图6为实施例一承载管理的实施流程图,包括:
步骤601、建立PDN连接,或者建立数据流;
本步骤在UE和PDN之间建立PDN连接,或者在建立PDN连接的过程中同时在该PDN连接上建立数据流,或者在建立PDN连接之后在该PDN连接上建立数据流。
本步骤中,在一实施方式中,在建立PDN连接的过程中或者在建立数据流的过程中,CN通知AN服务等级信息。
服务等级信息包括服务等级标记信息,还包括但不限于优先级、数据包延时、数据包丢包率、最大数据速率中的至少一个。服务等级信息可以是以不同的服务等级标记信息标识的,服务等级信息可以以信息列表的形式存在,该信息列表以服务等级标记信息标识,并且可以包括不限于优先级、数据包延时、数据包丢包率,最大数据速率中的至少一个。如下表1,为一种可能的服务等级信息列表示例,表1中的服务等级标记信息为DSCP,但并不限定服务等级标记信息可以是其他表征服务等级的不同于DSCP的命名和编码的信息,比如QoS分类标识信息。本发明实施例并不限定服务等级信息或服务等级信息列表的其他存在形式。

表1
步骤602、AN根据服务等级信息建立RB;
这里,所述服务等级信息是在协议中预定义的,或者是在601中CN通知给AN的(也即AN从CN获取的)。以表1所示的服务等级信息列表为例,AN根据表1,AN同时根据负荷、资源使用情况、无线通信链路上的信号质量、AN的管理策略中的一个或多个因素建立RB。比如本实施例中,AN建立了3个RB,假设为RB3、RB4和RB5,其中DSCP为101110、011010、101010、101100的服务等级映射到RB3上,DSCP为100010的服务等级映射到RB4上,DSCP为010010、000000、001010的服务等级映射到RB5上,当然这只是本实施例的一种实施方式而已,并不限定AN根据服务等级信息建立的RB的数量及将哪些取值的DSCP映射到哪些RB上。
本实施例中,如果建立了可用于上行传输的RB的情况下,本步骤还包括,AN侧网元通知UE服务等级信息与可用于上行传输的RB之间的映射关系。本实施例中假设RB3和RB4可用于上行传输,则AN侧网元通过服务等级标记信息(比如DSCP)与无线承载标识信息(比如假设RB3,RB4,RB5的无线承载标识信息分别为3,4,5)之间的映射关系表示服务等级信息与可用于上行传输的RB之间的映射关系,并通知给UE。本实施例中,将取值为101110、011010、101010、101100的DSCP映射到取值为3的无线承载标识,取值为100010的DSCP映射到取值为4的无线承载标识。本实施例中以及后 续的相关实施例中,并不限定AN通知UE服务等级信息与可用于下行传输的RB之间的映射关系。
本步骤之后,对于下行传输,AN接收来自CN的下行数据包,根据数据包中的服务等级标记信息确定将数据包对应到哪个RB上传输,这里,服务等级标记信息和601中的服务等级标记信息对应,比如本实施例中601中的服务等级标记信息为DSCP,则本步骤中也为DSCP,服务等级标记信息可以包含在数据包的包头中,比如包含在IP数据包的包头中。如果服务等级标识信息为其他编码信息,比如为QoS分类标识信息,则本步骤中数据包中的服务等级标记信息也为QoS分类标识信息。本实施例中,例如,AN接收到了来自CN的数据包,数据包包头中的DSCP为101110或011010或010010,则AN将DSCP为101110或011010的数据包对应到RB3上传输,将DSCP为010010的数据包对应到RB5上传输。
同样的,对于上行传输,UE根据数据包中的服务等级标记信息以及AN通知的服务等级信息与可用于上行传输的RB之间的映射关系确定将数据包对应到哪个RB上传输。
或者本实施例中,根据服务等级信息建立RB后,所有RB处于非开启状态,或者只有其中一个可用于上行传输的特定RB处于开启状态,其他RB处于非开启状态。这里的特定RB可以是预定义的RB或者AN在建立RB后确定的,对于AN在建立RB后确定一个特定RB处于开启状态的情况,AN在通知UE服务等级信息与可用于上行传输的RB之间的映射关系的同时,还通知UE哪个RB为特定RB,比如本实施例中为RB4。则根据此方法,实施例一还包括:
603、AN接收数据包,根据数据包中的服务等级标记信息启用相关RB;或者AN接收来自UE的数据传输请求,根据数据传输请求中的RB信息启用相关RB。
对于下行传输,AN接收来自CN的下行数据包,根据数据包中的服务等级标记信息启用相关RB。本实施例中,例如,AN接收到了来自CN的数据包,数据包包头中的DSCP为101110或011010或010010,则AN启用这些DSCP所映射的RB3、RB5。
本发明实施例中,所谓启用RB,其含义为进行RB相关变量的初始化操作。相关RB被启用后,AN所接收到的数据经过这些RB的相关协议实体的处理后,通过空中接口发送给UE。
本实施例中,AN启用相关RB,AN还通过空中接口通知UE启用相应RB,同样的,UE从空中接口接收到数据后,在相应RB的相关协议实体进行处理。这里RB的相关协议实体包括PDCP实体、RLC实体、MAC实体中的至少一个。
对于上行传输,UE判断有需要在未开启的RB上传输上行数据时,UE通过信令RB(相关技术中定义,本文中不再赘述)或者步骤602中所述的特定RB,或者MAC层控制信息,向AN发送数据传输请求,数据传输请求中包含请求启用的RB信息,AN根据RB信息启用相关RB,其中RB信息可以为无线承载标识信息。
本实施例中,UE根据服务等级信息与可用于上行传输的RB之间的映射关系判断有需要在未开启的RB上传输的上行数据,例如,UE收到来自应用层的数据包,数据包包头中的DSCP为101110,则UE根据步骤602所收到的服务等级标记信息与无线承载标识信息之间的映射关系,确定需要在RB3上传输所述数据包,则UE向AN发送的数据传输请求中包含RB3的标识信息。
实施例一以上步骤中说明的是RB管理中的RB建立过程,AN根据以下至少之一删除已经建立的部分或全部RB:
UE和PDN之间的PDN连接被删除;
PDN连接上的部分或所有数据流被删除;
AN根据负荷、资源使用情况、无线通信链路上的信号质量、AN的管理策略中的一个或多个因素决定删除已经建立的部分或全部RB;
相应的,AN通知UE删除所述部分或全部RB。
AN根据以下至少之一修改已经建立的部分或全部RB:
AN从CN获取的服务等级信息改变;
AN根据负荷、资源使用情况、无线通信链路上的信号质量、AN的管理 策略中的一个或多个因素修改已经建立的部分或全部RB;
相应的,AN通知UE修改所述部分或全部RB。
这里,修改RB指以下至少之一:
修改RB的相关协议实体的配置参数;
修改服务等级信息与无线承载之间的映射关系;
RB相关的协议实体的配置参数,在3GPP相关协议标准36.331中已经有描述,本文不再赘述。
实施例二
实施例二详细说明AN侧网元根据服务等级信息以及数据包中的包描述信息进行RB管理的方法,这里的包描述信息为服务等级标记信息,实际实现时,包描述信息可以包含在数据包的包头中。实施例二的方法适用于没有特定比特速率要求的业务或数据流的传输。如图7为实施例二承载管理的实施流程图,包括:
步骤701、建立PDN连接,或者建立数据流;
这里,实现过程与实施例一步骤601相同,不再赘述。
步骤702、AN接收数据包,根据服务等级信息和数据包中的服务等级标记信息建立RB。
本实施例中的服务等级信息同样可以是在协议中预定义的,或者是在701中CN通知给AN的,同样以表1所示的服务等级信息列表为例。
对于下行传输,AN接收来自CN的数据包,根据数据包中的服务等级标记信息和服务等级信息建立RB。例如,AN接收到了来自CN的数据包,数据包包头中的DSCP为101110或011010或010010,AN建立2个RB,分别是RB3和RB4,将DSCP为101110或011010的数据包对应到RB3上传输,将DSCP为010010的数据包对应到RB5上传输。本步骤中,AN建立RB时还可以考虑负荷、资源使用情况、无线通信链路上的信号质量、AN的管理策略中的一个或多个因素。
对于上行传输,本实施例在步骤702之前还包括步骤702-1,AN至少建 立一个默认承载RBx,当UE有上行传输时,UE在RBx上传输所述至少一个数据包,AN接收到所述数据包后,根据所述数据包中的服务等级标记信息和服务等级信息建立RB,当然在此过程中还可以综合考虑负荷、资源使用情况、无线通信链路上的信号质量、AN的管理策略中的一个或多个因素。例如,UE收到来自应用层的数据包,所述数据包包头中的DSCP为101110,UE在RBx上传输所述DSCP为101110的至少一个数据包,AN接收到数据包后,根据该数据包的DSCP和步骤701中所述的服务等级信息建立RB3,并通知UE服务等级信息与RB3的映射关系,UE收到后,将DSCP为101110的数据包对应在RB3上传输。
需要说明的是,本实施例以上所述UE有上行传输,如果对于除了RBx之外已经建立有其他可用于上行传输的RB的情况,UE根据所述数据包中的服务等级标记信息以及AN通知的服务等级信息与已经建立的可用于上行传输的RB之间的映射关系,确定所述数据包没有映射到所述已经建立的RB中的任意一个时,所述UE才在RBx上传输所述至少一个数据包。
以上步骤中说明的是RB管理中的RB建立过程,AN根据以下至少之一删除已经建立的部分或全部RB:
UE和PDN之间的PDN连接被删除;
PDN连接上的部分或所有数据流被删除;
AN根据负荷、资源使用情况、无线通信链路上的信号质量、AN的管理策略中的一个或多个因素决定删除已经建立的部分或全部RB;
RB上一段时间T内没有数据传输;
相应的,AN通知UE删除所述部分或全部RB。
AN根据以下至少之一修改已经建立的部分或全部RB:
AN从CN获取的服务等级信息改变;
AN根据负荷、资源使用情况、无线通信链路上的信号质量、AN的管理策略中的一个或多个因素修改已经建立的部分或全部RB;
RB上一段时间T内没有数据传输;
相应的,AN通知UE修改所述部分或全部RB。
实施例三
本实施例详细说明AN根据流描述信息进行RB管理或者根据流描述信息和服务等级信息进行RB管理的方法,本实施例的方法既适用于没有特定比特速率要求的业务或数据流的传输,也适用于有特定比特速率要求的业务或数据流的传输。如图8为本实施例承载管理的实施流程图,包括:
步骤801、建立数据流;
可以是建立PDN连接的过程中同时在该PDN连接上建立数据流,或者在建立PDN连接之后,在该PDN连接上建立数据流。
本步骤中,建立数据流过程中,CN通知AN数据流的流描述信息,所述流描述信息至少包括流标识信息、流路由信息、和带宽信息;所述流描述信息还可以包括ARP信息。
所述流描述信息是以不同的流标识信息标识的,流描述信息可以以信息列表的形式存在,该信息列表以流标识信息标识,至少包括流路由信息和带宽信息,还可以包括ARP信息。
CN还可以通知AN服务等级信息,实现过程与实施例一相同,不再赘述。
步骤802、AN根据所述流描述信息建立RB,或者根据所述流描述信息和服务等级信息建立RB。
本实施例中的服务等级信息同样可以是在协议中预定义的,或者是在步骤801中CN通知给AN的,同样以表1所示的服务等级信息列表为例。
本实施例中,假设建立了4个数据流:
数据流1:流标识信息1,流路由信息1,带宽信息1(取值为X),ARP1;
数据流2:流标识信息2,流路由信息2,带宽信息2(取值为Y),ARP2;
数据流3:流标识信息3,流路由信息3,带宽信息3(取值为X),ARP3;
数据流4:流标识信息4,流路由信息4,带宽信息4(取值为Y),ARP4;
假设,AN根据所述流描述信息建立了2个RB,分别为RB6和RB7,AN将数据流1和数据流3映射到RB6上,将数据流2和数据流4映射到RB7上。这里,AN将具有相同或者相近带宽的数据流映射到同一个RB上,仅仅 是一种实施例而已,并不限定AN综合根据流描述信息中的其他信息,以及可以综合考虑流描述信息、服务等级信息、负荷、资源使用情况、无线通信链路上的信号质量、AN的管理策略中的一个或多个因素建立RB,并将数据流映射到不同的RB上。
本实施例在建立RB6和RB7的同时,还可以根据服务等级信息列表建立一个或多个其他RB,比如建立如实施例一中所述的RB3~RB5,也类似的将DSCP为101110、011010、101010、101100的服务等级映射到RB3上,DSCP为100010的服务等级映射到RB4上,DSCP为010010、000000、001010的服务等级映射到RB5上。
同样的,本实施例中,如果建立了可用于上行传输的RB的情况下,本步骤还包括,AN通知UE所述流描述信息与无线承载之间的映射关系,或者仅根据服务等级信息建立的可用于上行传输RB的情况下,还通知UE所述服务等级信息与无线承载之间的映射关系。通知时,所述流描述信息可以用流标识信息标识,比如本实施例中以上建立RB6~RB7(可用于上行传输)时,AN将数据流1和数据流3映射到RB6、将数据流2和数据流标4映射到RB7,实际实现时,AN可以建立流标识信息1&流标识信息3到RB6的映射关系、以及流标识信息2&流标识信息4到RB7的映射关系并通知UE流标识信息与无线承载(用无线承载标识信息标识)之间的映射关系。或者,AN可以建立流路由信息与RB的映射关系并通知UE流路由信息与无线承载(用无线承载标识信息标识)之间的映射关系。服务等级信息与无线承载之间的映射关系的通知方式同实施例一相同,不再赘述。
本步骤之后,对于下行传输,AN接收来自CN的数据包,根据所述数据包中流路由信息或服务等级标记确定所述数据包对应哪个RB上传输,根据所述服务等级标记确定的情况应用于RB3~RB5,上行和下行的实现过程如实施例一的说明,不再赘述。本实施例后续仅说明根据所述流路由信息确定的情况(包括上行和下行)。每个数据流都有区别于其他数据流的流路由信息,根据数据包中的流路由信息可以确定数据包来自于哪个数据流。例如,AN接收到的数据包中,包头中包含的流路由信息为流路由信息1和流路由信息3,则AN将数据流1和数据流3对应到RB6上传输,实际实现时,AN可以根 据数据包中的流路由信息和步骤801中获得的流描述信息确定流标识信息,再根据流标识信息确定对应的RB,或者AN可以根据数据包中的流路由信息和步骤801中获得的流描述信息直接确定对应的RB。同样的,对于上行传输,UE根据数据包中的流路由信息以及AN通知的流描述信息与无线承载之间的映射关系确定将数据包对应到哪个RB上传输,实际实现时,UE可以根据数据包中的流路由信息和AN通知的流描述信息与无线承载之间的映射关系确定流标识信息,再根据流标识信息确定对应的RB,或者UE可以根据数据包中的流路由信息和AN通知的流描述信息与无线承载之间的映射关系直接确定对应的RB,其中流描述信息与无线承载之间的映射关系中包含每个流的流路由信息。
本实施例中,建立RB后,所有RB处于非开启状态,或者只有其中一个可用于上行传输的特定RB处于开启状态,其他RB处于非开启状态。此情况下本实施例还可以包括:
步骤803、AN接收数据包,根据数据包中流路由信息或服务等级标记启用相关RB;或者接收来自UE的数据传输请求,根据所述数据传输请求中的信息启用相关RB。
根据服务等级标记启用相关RB的方法同实施例一,这里不再举例描述。以下仅以针对根据流路由信息启用相关RB的实现过程进行说明。
对于下行传输,AN接收来自CN的下行数据包,根据数据包中流路由信息启用相关RB,例如,AN接收到的数据包中,包头中包含的流路由信息为流路由信息1和流路由信息3,则AN启用数据流1和数据流3所映射的RB6。同实施例一,AN启用RB6,AN还通过空中接口通知UE启用RB6。
对于上行传输,同实施例一,UE判断有需要在未开启的RB上传输上行数据,这里,UE根据数据包中的流路由信息和从AN收到的流描述信息与无线承载之间的映射关系,确定需要在未开启的RB上传输上行数据,则向AN发送数据传输请求,所述数据传输请求中包含请求启用的RB信息,AN根据RB信息启用相关RB。
本实施例中,AN删除RB和修改RB的行为同实施例二,不再赘述。
实施例四
本实施例详细说明AN根据服务质量描述信息、以及数据包中的包描述信息进行RB管理的方法,这里的包描述信息包括如下信息中的至少一个:流路由信息、服务等级标记信息,同样实际实现时包描述信息可以包含在数据包包头中。实施例四的方法既适用于没有特定比特速率要求的业务或数据流的传输,也适用于有特定比特速率要求的业务或数据流的传输。如图9为本实施例承载管理的实施流程图,包括:
步骤901、建立数据流;
这里,步骤901的实际实现过程同实施例三的相关说明,不再赘述。
步骤902、AN接收数据包,根据流描述信息和所述数据包中的流路由信息建立RB;或者根据所述流描述信息、服务等级信息和数据包中的流描述信息建立RB;或者根据服务等级信息和数据包中的服务等级标记信息建立RB。
本实施例中根据服务等级信息和数据包中的服务等级标记信息建立RB的方法同实施例二的描述,本实施例不再赘述,本实施例仅举例说明上述其他两种情况,这里同实施例三所示建立了4个数据流。
对于下行传输,AN接收来自CN的数据包,所述数据包包头中包含的流路由信息为流路由信息1和流路由信息3,则AN根据步骤901中收到的流描述信息,还可以综合考虑服务等级信息、负荷、资源使用情况、无线通信链路上的信号质量、AN的管理策略中的一个或多个因素建立RB6,将流路由信息为流路由信息1和流路由信息3的数据包对应到RB6上传输。
对于上行传输,类似实施例二,本实施例在步骤902之前还包括步骤902-1:AN至少建立一个默认承载RBx,当UE有上行传输时,UE在RBx上传输至少一个上行数据包,AN接收到所述上行数据包后,根据所述数据包中的流路由信息和步骤901中收到的流描述信息建立RB,当然在此过程中还可以综合考虑服务等级信息、负荷、资源使用情况、无线通信链路上的信号质量、AN的管理策略中的一个或多个因素。例如,UE收到来自应用层的数据包,数据包包头中的流路由信息为流路由信息2,UE在RBx上传输所述流路由信息为流路由信息2的至少一个数据包,AN接收到所述至少一个数据包 后,建立RB7,并通知UE流描述信息(数据流2)与RB7的映射关系,UE收到后,将流路由信息为流路由信息2的数据包对应在RB7上传输。
本实施例中,AN删除RB和修改RB的行为同实施例二,不再赘述。
采用本发明上述实施例所述的方法,不再以核心网和接入网强相关的承载方式进行QoS处理,核心网不需要考虑接入网所采用的技术,基于数据流本身的特性向接入网提供服务质量描述信息,接入网基于所接收到的数据流级别的信息进行接入网的承载管理,能很好的满足下一代通信系统中核心网和接入网去耦合设计的目标,同时在接入网无线链路上实现不同业务流之间的灵活、动态的差异化数据传输。
以下基于图3所示的下一代移动通信系统网络架构,就本发明上述实施例中涉及的建立PDN连接、建立/删除/修改数据流的流程进行举例说明,需要说明的是以下仅仅是本发明实施例的流程示例而已,本发明实施例并不限于其他可能的变化流程。
如图10为UE发起的建立PDN连接的流程图,包括:
步骤1001、UE发起建立PDN连接请求;
本过程可以是单独的PDN连接建立请求,也可以是在PDN连接建立请求中同时请求建立数据流;
其中,所述PDN连接请求中包含UE标识,对于需要建立数据流的情况,所述PDN连接请求还可以包括数据流建立请求描述信息。所述数据流建立请求描述信息至少包括流标识信息和流路由信息,还可以包括请求的带宽信息。
步骤1002、实现CP功能的核心网网元/实体(为描述方便,以下将实现CP功能的核心网网元/实体称为CP功能实体,但并不限定其存在形式,比如可以是一个或者多个核心网网元/实体)收到了所述PDN连接请求后,如果PDN连接请求中同时请求建立数据流,则可以去实现应用功能(Application Funciton,AF)的网元/实体获取或者验证所述请求建立的数据流的“数据流建立请求描述信息”,比如验证其中请求的带宽信息。
步骤1003、CP功能实体还可以去用户数据库获取UE的签约信息,如果在该过程中CP功能实体已经获取了或者从其他功能实体中获取了这一信息, 本步骤可以不执行。
步骤1004、CP功能实体生成服务质量描述信息。
其中,所述服务质量描述信息即为本发明上文实施例中提到的对应信息。
本步骤为可选步骤,如果服务等级信息为预定义的信息,并且本过程中未建立数据流,则本步骤不需要执行。
步骤1005、CP功能实体将生成的服务质量描述信息下发给实现UP功能的核心网网元/实体(同样为描述方便,以下将实现UP功能的核心网网元/实体称为UP功能实体,但并不限定其存在形式,比如可以是一个或者多个核心网网元/实体),以供UP功能实体使用。
本步骤为可选步骤,如果服务等级信息为预定义的信息,并且本过程中未建立数据流,则本步骤不需要执行。
步骤1006、CP功能实体将生成的服务质量描述信息下发给AN。
对于PDN连接建立过程中同时建立数据流的情况,本步骤中CP功能实体下发给AN的流描述信息包括CP功能实体成功建立的数据流的流描述信息。如果服务等级信息为预定义的信息,本步骤中CP功能实体下发给AN的信息中不需要包含服务等级信息。
AN接收到所述服务质量描述信息后,在执行本发明上文各实施例时按上文各实施例的描述使用服务质量描述信息。
步骤1007、CP功能实体向UE发送建立PDN连接接受消息。
如果步骤1001中UE发起建立PDN连接请求的同时请求建立数据流,则所述PDN连接接受消息中包含成功建立的数据流的流描述信息。
步骤1008、UE向CP功能实体发送建立PDN连接完成消息。
如图11为网络发起的建立/修改/删除数据流的流程图,网络发起的建立/修改/删除数据流的流程可以包括:
步骤1101a/1101b、可以由应用层触发在当前的PDN连接上建立新的数据流,修改(例如数据流的带宽发生改变等)或者删除已经建立的数据流。也可能由签约数据的变化或由于CP功能实体配置的运营商策略变化等触发 建立/修改/删除数据流的过程。因此步骤1101a和步骤1101b都是可选过程。
步骤1102、CP功能实体根据上述描述的触发条件,判断需要执行建立/修改/删除步骤数据流的操作,CP功能实体生成所述需要建立/修改的数据流的流描述信息。
步骤1103、CP功能实体向UP功能实体下发建立/修改/删除的数据流的信息,下发的信息中包含流描述信息;
步骤1104、CP功能实体向AN下发建立/修改/删除的数据流的信息,下发的信息中包含流描述信息;
AN接收到所述流描述信息后,在执行本发明上文各实施例时按上文各实施例的描述使用所述流描述信息。
步骤1105、AN通知UE建立/修改/删除的数据流,该通知中包含流描述信息;
步骤1106、UE通过AN向CP功能实体发送建立/修改/删除接受消息。
如图12为本发明实施例中UE发起的建立/修改/删除数据流的流程图,UE发起的建立/修改/删除数据流的流程可以包括:
步骤1201、可以由UE的应用层触发在当前的PDN连接上建立新的数据流,修改(例如数据流的带宽发生改变等)或者删除已经建立的数据流。本步骤可以由AF触发,AF通知UE的应用层,然后UE的应用层触发UE发送步骤1202的资源请求,请求本流程的后续过程。本步骤也可以由UE根据用户的操作触发,触发UE发送步骤1202的资源请求,请求本流程的后续过程。
步骤1202、UE发送资源请求,请求中包含需要建立/修改/删除的数据流的数据流建立/修改/删除请求描述信息,数据流建立/修改/删除请求描述信息至少包括流标识信息和流路由信息,还可以包括请求的带宽信息。
步骤1203、CP功能实体收到所述资源请求后,可以去AF获取或者验证所述“数据流建立/修改/删除请求描述信息”。
CP功能实体也可以综合根据已经获得的UE的签约信息获取或者验证。
后续CP功能实体判断需要执行建立/修改/删除数据流的操作,步骤1204~1208与步骤1002~1006完全相同,不再赘述。
