背景技术
随着通信技术的发展,5G网络架构中引入了切片(Slicing)的概念,网络切片主要是在同一基础架构中创建多个独立的专属虚拟子网络,以满足不同服务的需求。网络切片能够更好地支持不同的业务,包括移动宽带,物联网智能电网以及远程电子医疗和公共安全业务等。
网络切片不仅涉及到核心网,而且也涉及到无线接入网络。目前,3GPP正在讨论核心网切片和接入网切片的方案,但是并未考虑对T-SC(Terminal Small Cell,终端化小区)的支持,被T-SC汇聚的终端如何能够接入到不同的网路切片中尚没有相关的技术方案。

具体实施方式
为了能够更清楚地理解本发明的上述目的、特征和优点,下面结合附图和具体实施方式对本发明进行进一步的详细描述。需要说明的是,在不冲突的情况下,本申请的实施例及实施例中的特征可以相互组合。
在下面的描述中阐述了很多具体细节以便于充分理解本发明,但是,本发明还可以采用其他不同于在此描述的其他方式来实施,因此,本发明的保护范围并不受下面公开的具体实施例的限制。
本发明的技术方案主要是使得T-SC能够支持5G的网络切片方案。具体如图1所示,其中,图1中所示的10为终端化小区,11和12为远端UE(User Equipment,用户设备),远端UE 11和远端UE 12与终端化小区10之间通过Uu接口或PC5接口连接,图1中所示的13为基站,14为SDN控制器,15为核心网实体。
由于远端UE 11和远端UE 12可能需要接入eMBB(enhanced Mobil Broadband,增强的移动宽带网络)、mMTC(massive Machine Type Communication,大规模机器类通讯)、uMTC(Ultra-reliable MTC,超可靠的机器类通讯)中的一种或多种,因此终端化小区10必须要支持网络切片,如果终端化小区10不能支持网络切片的方案,那么显然存在应用场景方面的缺陷。
基于此,本发明提出的网络切片的接入方法的核心思想是使T-SC接入不同的网络切片,以向不同的远端UE提供不同的网络服务。
其中,T-SC作为一个网络实体,从SDN控制器中获取每个网络切片(per slicing)的配置信息。
SDN控制器根据业务需求对T-SC进行配置,使得T-SC能够接入到所需要的网络切片中,这些网络切片需要反应T-SC自身及其所汇聚的远端UE需要接入的网络切片的并集。每个网络切片的配置信息可以在T-SC初始化启动过程中从SDN控制器中一并获取。
具体的交互过程如图2所示,包括:
步骤S202,远端UE向T-SC汇报需要访问的网络切片的信息。其中,远端UE可以是一个,也可以是多个。远端UE的汇报功能的实现既可以采用明确的信号指示,也可以隐式地通过应用层信息来实现。
步骤S204,T-SC维护所有被汇聚的远端UE汇报的网络切片的信息。
步骤S206,T-SC将维护的所有网络切片的信息及时上报至SDN控制器。
步骤S208,SDN控制器确认T-SC是否能够接入相应的网络切片,并在确认T-SC可以接入的一个网络切片后,执行步骤S210a、步骤S210b和步骤S210c。
步骤S210a,SDN控制器向基站发送该网络切片专用的在RAN侧的配置信息。
步骤S210b,SDN控制器向T-SC发送该网络切片专用的在接入层之上的配置信息。
步骤S210c,SDN控制器向核心网实体发送该网络切片专用的在核心网实体的配置信息。该步骤的实现需要SDN控制器与CN实体之间定义相应的逻辑接口来支持。
其中,步骤S210a、步骤S210b和步骤S210c可以是同时执行的,也可以是不同时执行的。
步骤S210d,基站对SDN控制器发送的该网络切片专用的在RAN侧的配置信息进行解析和处理后,得到该网络切片专用的在接入层的配置信息,然后发送至T-SC。其中,步骤S210d可以在基站接收到该网络切片专用的在RAN侧的配置信息之后立即执行。
步骤S212,T-SC向远端UE提供与新接入的网络切片相对应的网络服务。
其中,每个网络切片都具有唯一的配置信息,以下具体进行说明:
1、如果RAN侧支持网络切片,那么每个网络切片在RAN侧的配置信息能够实现每个网络切片在接入网侧的无线资源管理。
2、每个网络切片在CN实体的配置信息能够使每个网络切片的控制面和用户面在核心网得以运行。
具体地,如配置信息能够为每个网络切片实现等同于PDN-GW(Packet Data Network Gateway,数据网络网关)的控制面的功能、实现等同于HSS(Home Subscriber Server,归属签约用户服务器)的功能、实现等同于MME(Mobility Management Entity,移动性管理实体)的功能。
3、每个网络切片在T-SC的配置信息包括了在接入层(AS layer)的配置信息和在接入层之上(Above AS layer)的配置信息。
其中,每个网络切片在接入层之上的配置信息包括:在接入层之上的策略(Policy)、路由选择(Routing)、其它公用数据网络的连接配置(PDN connection level configuration)和小区配置参数(cell configuration parameters)等。
每个网络切片在接入层的配置信息包括:无线层配置(Radio level configuration)和PCI(Physical Cell Identifier,物理小区标识)参数,和/或D2D(Device to Device,终端直连通信)参数等。
为了进一步说明本发明的技术方案,以下结合图3至图10对终端化小区和SDN控制器的功能实现作进一步说明。
图3示出了根据本发明的第一个实施例的网络切片的接入控制方法的示意流程图,该接入控制方法适用于终端化小区。
如图3所示,根据本发明的第一个实施例的网络切片的接入控制方法,包括:
步骤S302,获取至少一个用户设备需要访问的网络切片的信息,以得到至少一个网络切片的信息。

方式二:获取所述至少一个用户设备的应用层信息,并根据所述应用层信息确定所述至少一个用户设备需要访问的网络切片的信息。
其中,方式一是由用户设备通过明确的指示信息来告知终端化小区其所需要访问的网络切片的信息;方式二是由终端化小区根据至少一个用户设备的应用层信息来获取这至少一个用户设备需要访问的网络切片的信息。在实际应用中,可以采用上述两种方式中的任一种方式,或同时采用上述两种方式。
步骤S304,将所述至少一个网络切片的信息发送至SDN控制器。
步骤S306,基于所述SDN控制器的控制,接入所述至少一个网络切片。
在本发明的一个实施例中,步骤S306具体包括:接收所述SDN控制器发送的所述至少一个网络切片中的每个网络切片在接入层之上的配置信息,并接收基站发送的所述每个网络切片在接入层的配置信息;基于所述接入层之上的配置信息和所述接入层的配置信息,接入所述每个网络切片;其中,所述每个网络切片在接入层的配置信息是由所述基站对所述SDN控制器发送的所述每个网络切片在接入网侧的配置信息进行解析得到的。
其中,每个网络切片在接入层(AS Layer)的配置信息、在接入层之上(Above AS Layer)的配置信息、在接入网(Radio Access Network,简称RAN)侧的配置信息以及在核心网(Core Net,简称CN)实体的配置信息均具有唯一性,即与其它网络切片的配置信息不同,这是由于每个网络切片提供的服务不同而引起的。
在图3所示的接入控制方法中,终端化小区通过获取至少一个用户设备需要访问的至少一个网络切片的信息,并将该至少一个网络切片的信息发送至SDN控制器,以基于SDN控制器的控制,接入上述至少一个网络切片,使得终端化小区能够接入到被其汇聚的用户设备需要访问的网络切片,进而可以保证终端化小区向被其汇聚的用户设备提供相应的网络服务,实现了终端化小区对网络切片的支持。其中,上述的至少一个用户设备是被终端化小区汇聚的用户设备,这些用户设备通过终端化小区实现与网络侧的交互。

具体来说,获取单元402获取至少一个网络切片的信息主要是通过两种方式:方式一是由用户设备通过明确的指示信息来告知终端化小区其所需要访问的网络切片的信息;方式二是由终端化小区根据至少一个用户设备的应用层信息来获取这至少一个用户设备需要访问的网络切片的信息。在实际应用中,可以采用上述两种方式中的任一种方式,或同时采用上述两种方式。
在本发明的一个实施例中,处理单元406包括:接收单元4062,设置为接收所述SDN控制器发送的所述至少一个网络切片中的每个网络切片在接入层之上的配置信息,并接收基站发送的所述每个网络切片在接入层的配置信息;接入单元4064,设置为基于所述接入层之上的配置信息和所述接入层的配置信息,接入所述每个网络切片;其中,所述每个网络切片在接入层的配置信息是由所述基站对所述SDN控制器发送的所述每个网络切片在接入网侧的配置信息进行解析得到的。
其中,每个网络切片在接入层的配置信息、在接入层之上的配置信息、在接入网侧的配置信息以及在核心网实体的配置信息均具有唯一性,即与其它网络切片的配置信息不同,这是由于每个网络切片提供的服务不同而引起的。
