本发明实施例中,名词“网络”和“系统”经常交替使用,但本领域技术人员可以理解其含义。本发明实施例所涉及到的终端可以包括各种具有无线通信功能的手持设备、车载设备、可穿戴设备、计算设备或连接到无线调制解调器的其他处理设备,以及各种形式的用户设备(User Equipment,UE),移动台(Mobile Station,MS),终端设备(terminal device)等。为方便描述,本发明实施例中,上面提到的设备统称为终端。本发明实施例所涉及到的网络侧设备可以包括核心网中的设备,例如可以包括移动性管理网元,如服务GPRS支持节点(Serving GPRS Support Node,简称SGSN)、移动性管理实体(Mobility Management Entity,简称MME)等;又例如可以包括5G网络或未来可能出现的网络中的具有控制面功能的网络实体,如非接入层(Non-Access Stratum,简称NAS)或无线资源控制(Radio Resource Control,简称RRC)层的网络实体。本发明实施例所涉及到的网络侧设备也可以包括基站(Base Station,BS)。基站是一种部署在无线接入网中用以为终端提供无线通信功能的装置。所述基站可以包括各种形式的宏基站,微基站,中继站,接入点等。在采用不同的无线接入技术的系统中,具有基站功能的设备的名称可能会有所不同。例如在LTE网络中,称为演进的节点B(evolved NodeB,eNB或eNodeB),在第三代(3rd Generation,3G)网络中,称为节点B(Node B)等。其中,在3G网络中,基站也可以包括无线网络控制器(Radio Network Controller,简称RNC)。为方便描述,本发明实施例中,上述为终 端提供无线通信功能的装置统称为基站或BS。
图2示出了本发明实施例提供的一种可能的网络架构。图2所示的网络架构中,以网络侧设备为基站为例进行描述。该网络架构包括终端(例如终端210、终端220)和基站230,二者之间可以通过蜂窝网络进行通信,也可以通过无线局域网(Wireless Local Area Network,WLAN)或其他无线接入技术进行通信。
本发明实施例中,网络侧设备为终端提供网络服务,终端和网络侧设备可以基于二者之间所建立的网络连接进行通信。在本发明实施例中,网络侧设备与终端之间可以通过NAS层、RRC层、MAC层或物理层(Physical Layer,简称PHY)进行交互。
下面将基于上面所述的本发明实施例涉及的共性方面,对本发明实施例进一步详细说明。
本发明的一个实施例提供一种质量参数的传输方法,和基于这个方法的终端、网络侧设备和系统。该方法包括:网络侧设备向终端发送第一请求消息,该第一请求消息用于请求与预设业务的用户体验相关的质量参数,终端在从网络侧设备接收第一请求消息后,向网络侧设备发送该质量参数。从而网络侧设备通过从终端设备获取与预设业务的用户体验相关的质量参数,从而可以利用该质量参数来评估网络运营质量,有利于网络优化,以为终端提供更优的网络质量,提升用户体验。
在本发明实施例中,终端可以获取与预设业务的用户体验相关的质量参数,从而将该质量参数发送给网络侧设备,以供网络侧设备对网络运营质量进行评估,从而有利于网络参数的优化,以及对其所提供的网络服务进行进一步的调整。进一步的,网络侧设备与终端交互的过程中,终端还可以获取其他参数(例如KPI信息,如信号质量、吞吐量、链路失败信息等),并向网络侧设备发送这些参数,从而,网络侧设备可以利用这些信息进行网络问题的判断,从而进行网络参数的优化。
下面结合图3对本发明实施例提供的方案进行说明。图3是本发明实施例提供的一种质量参数的传输方法的通信示意图。如图3所示,该方法可以包括以下部分:
在S301部分,网络侧设备向终端发送第一请求消息,该第一请求消息用于请求与预设业务的用户体验相关的质量参数。
其中,预设业务是网络侧设备为终端提供的一些业务,例如可以是运行在终端的、供终端使用的一些业务,与预设业务的用户体验相关的质量参数是指从用户体验出发进行评估的一些参数。
在本发明实施例中,上述预设业务可以包括流类业务和交互类业务之一或全部,其中,流类业务包括视频等缓存类流业务、赛事直播和视频点播等实时类流业务、视频通话和视频会议等会话类流业务等;交互类业务包括网页Web浏览、数据库检索等。
例如,该预设业务包括流类业务,该流类业务对应的协议包括以下至少一种:基于超文本传输协议(HyperText Transfer Protocol,简称HTTP)的动态自适应流媒体(Dynamic Adaptive Streaming over HTTP,简称DASH)的视频协议、渐进式下载(progressive downloading,简称PD)视频协议或基于HTTP的直播流(HTTP Live Streaming,简称HLS)视频协议;与流类业务对应的质量参数包括以下至少一种:HTTP请求或响应列表(List of HTTP Request/Response Transactions);切换事件列表(List of Representation Switch Events)、 平均吞吐量(Average Throughput)、初始播放时延(Initial Playout Delay)、缓冲区数据量(Buffer Level)、播放信息列表(Play List)或媒体报告描述MPD(Media Presentation Description)信息。
其中,MPD是一种描述媒体播放/呈现的文件,其中可包含视频质量的参数,比如带宽、编码、分辨率等。
又例如,该预设业务包括交互类业务,与交互类业务对应的质量参数包括以下至少一种:网页响应时延(web response delay)、首屏打开时延(first page opening delay)、整页打开时延(whole page opening delay)或网页完整性指示(page integrity)。
更进一步的,网络侧设备还可以要求终端在发送质量参数的同时发送记录这些质量参数的时间点信息。
更进一步的,网络侧设备还可以要求终端在发送质量参数的同时发送质量参数对应的业务流的信息,举例而言,终端侧设备可能同时打开了两个视频流,或者有两个视频流处于激活状态,则终端需要上报其记录的质量参数是针对哪个视频流的,例如可以用representation id来标识,又例如终端侧设备可能同时在浏览多个网页,则终端需要上报其记录的质量参数是对应的哪个网页,例如可以用representation id来标识。
可选地,需要说明,本发明实施例中的预设业务还可以包括其它类型的业务,例如会话类业务和背景类业务等,均可用于本发明实施例所描述的方法的预设业务的类型本发明不予限定,并且与预设业务的用户体验相关的质量参数也可以为其它质量参数,基于终端有能力获取的所有与预设业务的用户体验相关的质量参数均属于本发明可以获取并传输的范畴。
在一个示例中,该第一请求消息可以包含在网络侧设备发送给终端的下行信令或数据中,以LTE为例,可以通过如下下行信令进行数据发送:
1、终端发送给LTE eNode B的RRC信令,比如RRC connection reconfiguration(RRC连接重配置);
2、终端发送给LTE eNode B的MAC(Media Access Control,媒体接入控制)CE(control element,控制元素)信令,比如Buffer Status Report(缓存状态报告);
3、终端发送给LTE MME的NAS信令,比如Attach Accept(附着接受)。
在S302部分,终端向网络侧设备发送该质量参数。
在一个示例中,终端可以获取上述质量参数并将该质量参数发送给网络侧设备,以响应网络侧设备发送的第一请求消息。
可选地,在本发明的一些可能的实施方式中,终端可以根据以下获取方式中的至少一种从网络侧获取质量参数:
第一种方式:终端通过分组交换业务的客户端(packet switched service client)获取该质量参数;
或者,终端通过预设业务对应的应用层实体获取该质量参数。
在又一个示例中,网络侧还可以向终端发送第四指示信息,该第四指示信息用于通知终端可用于获取该质量参数的上述获取方式中的至少一种。
需要说明,该第四指示信息可以包含在网络侧设备发送给终端的第一请求消息中,也 可以由网络侧设备另外单独发送给终端。
可以看出,本实施例的方案中,网络侧设备向终端发送第一请求消息,该第一请求消息用于请求与预设业务的用户体验相关的质量参数,终端在从网络侧设备接收到第一请求消息后,向所述网络侧设备发送该质量参数,从而网络侧设备通过从终端设备获取与预设业务的用户体验相关的质量参数,从而可以利用该质量参数来评估网络运营质量,有利于网络优化,以为终端提供更优的网络质量,提升用户体验。
在另一个示例中,终端从网络侧设备接收第一请求消息之前,还可以向网络侧设备发送与该终端上报该质量参数的能力相关的信息。例如,终端可以向网络侧设备发送指示消息,指示消息携带第一指示信息,其中,第一指示信息用于指示终端具备上报该质量参数的能力。
具体地,该指示信息可以包含在终端发送给网络的上行信令/数据中。以LTE为例,可以有如下上行信令的例子:
1、终端发送给LTE eNode B的RRC(Raido Resource Control,无线资源控制)信令,比如UECapabilityInformation(UE能力信息)
2、终端发送给LTE eNode B的MAC CE信令,比如Buffer Status Report(缓存状态报告)
3、终端发送给LTE MME(Mobility Management Entity,移动管理实体)的NAS(Non Access Stratum,非接入层)信令,比如Attach Request(附着请求)。
需要说明,终端向网络侧设备发送质量参数时按照所承载的协议类型上报,例如,如果网络侧设备向终端发送的指示信息携带在RRC信令中,则终端在上行RRC信令中上报质量参数,在LTE中的例子是Measurement Report;如果网络侧向终端发送的指示信息携带在NAS信令中,则终端在上行NAS信令中上报,在LTE中的例子是Attach Request。
可以理解,在终端从网络侧设备接收业务请求消息之前,先由终端向网络侧设备发送指示消息,当该指示信息携带第一指示信息用于指示终端具有上报某些质量参数的能力时,从而网络侧可以更好的根据该指示消息来请求上报终端有能力上报的质量参数。
在又一个示例中,网络侧设备也可指示终端不需要进行质量参数的收集与上报,此时终端可根据网络侧设备的指示不上报质量参数。
在又一个示例中,所述指示消息还携带所述终端支持的业务,或者,所述指示消息还携带所述终端支持的业务以及所述终端支持的业务对应的质量参数。
可选地,在一种可能的实施方式中,终端向网络侧发送指示消息中包括终端支持的业务,从而表示终端具有上报与该业务的用户体验相关的质量参数的能力,优选地,此时网络侧设备将根据终端的能力去发送第一请求消息,也即第一请求消息中所请求的质量参数均为终端所支持业务类型用户体验相关的质量参数,此时终端则可以成功上报相关质量参数;
更进一步地,可选地,若此时网络侧设备请求上报的业务类型相关的质量参数终端不支持,此时终端可只上报终端所支持的业务用户体验相关的质量参数即可,可选地,终端可以在上报与其所支持的业务用户体验相关的质量参数的同时上报网络侧设备所请求的、但是终端并不支持该类型业务质量参数的上报能力的指示,以提示网络侧设备不再下发该质量参数的配置请求。
更进一步地,对于流类业务,终端向网络侧发送指示消息中可包括流类业务支持的协议类型,比如DASH/PD等主流视频至少一种的测量,又比如以下流媒体的至少一种的测量:按需流(On-Demand streaming)媒体、直播流(Live streaming)或交互式流(interactive stremaing)媒体,其中,交互式流媒体可以是FaceTime、Skype或Wechat等。
更进一步地,对于流类业务和交互类业务,终端向网络侧发送指示消息中可包括流类业务和交互类业务所对应的质量参数中的至少一个。
更进一步地,作为本发明的一个实施例,可以在终端向网络侧发送的指示消息中包含数据无线承载标识(Data Radio Bearer id,简称DRB id)或数据流标识(Data Flow id,简称DF id),以便网络侧设备同时配置至少一个DRB或至少一个DF(包括web浏览、视频播放等),终端需要找到支持相应能力的DRB或DF且在指示信息中指示给网络侧设备。其中,DRB是空口上用于区分终端不同业务的承载信息,DRB id是对应的承载标识信息;DF(data flow,数据流)是空口上用于区分终端不同业务的流信息,DF id是对应的流标识信息。DF为相比于DRB对业务进一步的划分,一个DF或多个DF可以映射到一个DRB上。在空口上,网络侧设备可以仅配置DRB或DF给终端,或者也可以同时配置DRB和DF给终端,在后者的情况下,终端可将业务先映射到DF上,再进一步映射到DRB上。
以下所有描述中,DRB都可以替换为DF,DRB id都可以替换为DF id。
可选地,在另一种可能的实施方式中,终端向网络侧发送的指示消息中不仅包括其所支持的业务,同时还包括其所支持的业务所对应的质量参数,并且该质量参数可以为该业务对应的全部质量参数,也可以为部分质量参数。此时网络侧设备在发送质量参数请求时,可以为终端支持的业务类型相关的、并且终端支持的质量参数,也可以为终端支持的业务类型相关的、但是并非终端所支持的质量参数,也可以为终端不支持的业务类型相关的质量参数,从而终端根据其能力上报终端其所支持的业务类型相关的质量参数。
可以理解,通过在指示消息中携带终端所支持的业务,或者进一步携带与终端所支持的业务对应的质量参数时,可以更好的指示网络侧在配置质量参数上报请求时,请求与终端能力相关的质量参数,提高处理效率。
在又一个示例中,网络侧设备还可以向终端发送第二请求消息,第二请求消息用于请求与所述终端上报所述质量参数的能力相关的信息。
可选地,具体地,网络侧设备在向终端发送第二请求消息时,也可以一并向终端发送其所请求的业务类型。
具体地,该第二请求消息可以包含在终端发送给网络的下行信令/数据中。以LTE为例,可以有如下下行信令的例子:
1、LTE eNode B发送给终端的RRC信令,比如UE Capability Enquiry(UE能力请求信息);
2、LTE eNode B发送给终端的MAC CE信令,比如Activation/Deactivation(激活/去激活);
3、LTE MME发送给终端的NAS信令,比如Attach Accept(附着接受)。
其中,与所述终端上报所述质量参数的能力相关的信息表示网络侧请求终端可只上报具有该质量参数上报能力的指示,并且还可同时请求终端上报该质量参数的能力相关的其 它信息,例如,请求终端上报其具体支持的业务类型,以及与该业务类型对应的质量参数,该质量参数可以为该业务类型对应的全部质量参数,也可以是该业务类型对应的部分质量参数。
可选地,作为本发明的一个实施例,当终端的接入(Access Stratum,简称AS)层接收到网络侧设备发送的包括业务类型的第二请求消息时,由终端的AS层判断终端是否支持该业务类型。
可选地,在本发明的一些可能的实施方式中,所述终端向所述网络侧设备发送所述质量参数,包括:所述终端根据以下上报方式中的至少一种向所述网络侧设备发送所述质量参数:
第一种方式:所述终端周期性地向所述网路侧设备发送所述质量参数。例如,当终端周期性地向网络侧设备发送质量参数时,将同时设置终端上报质量参数的上报参数,例如可以选择每隔10秒(10s)上报一次体验质量参数。
第二种方式:所述终端在所述质量参数满足预设条件时向所述网络侧设备发送所述质量参数。例如,终端在质量参数满足预设条件时向网络侧设备发送质量参数时,该预设条件可以是质量参数满足一定的门限条件,例如当初始播放时延大于5s时,上报质量参数。
第三种方式:所述终端在所述预设业务终止时向所述网络侧设备发送所述质量参数。例如,终端在预设业务终止时向网络侧设备发送质量参数时,对于流类业务来说,可以为视频播放结束时向网络侧设备发送质量参数,对于Web浏览等交互类业务来说,可以是在网页关闭时向网络侧设备发送质量参数。
第四种方式:所述终端在指定的(例如网络侧设备指定的)时间段或者时间点向所述网络侧设备发送所述质量参数。
第五种方式:所述终端在发生特定事件时向网络侧设备发送该质量参数。例如,该特定事件可以是切换事件、重定向事件或无线链路失败事件等。所述终端在发生切换事件时向网络侧设备发送该质量参数可以是,终端将发生切换前的质量参数发送给网络侧设备,此时,终端还可以向网络侧设备发送事件类型信息,进一步的,终端还可以一并向网络侧设备发送终端切换前和/或切换后所属的小区标识,其中,切换前或切换后的小区标识可以为小区全球标识(Cell Global Identifier,CGI)或物理小区标识(Physical Cell Identifier,PCI)。
在又一个示例中,网络侧设备还可以向终端发送第二指示信息,所述第二指示信息用于通知所述终端可用于向所述网络侧设备发送所述质量参数的所述上报方式中的至少一种。
需要说明,该第二指示信息可以包含在网络侧设备发送给终端的第一请求消息中,也可以由网络侧设备另外单独发送给终端。
需要说明,终端上报质量参数的上报方式可以是:方法1,由网络侧设备向终端发送第二指示信息指定,从而终端根据网络侧设备指定的上报方式上报;或者,方法2,终端确定一种或多种上报方式,从而终端在上报的时候按照该确定的一种或多种上报方式上报质量参数即可,而如果是方法2,则网络侧设备发送的第二指示信息可以只指定上报或者不上报即可,例如,可以将“基于业务的质量参数的收集”的指示设置为用1表示需要收集,0表示不需要收集”。
可以理解,通过上述上报方式的选择方式,可以使终端上报参数的方式根据不同的情 况进行变换,使终端上报参数的方式更为灵活。
图4是本发明实施例所涉及到的终端的一种可能的结构示意图。其中client是具有收集基于业务的质量参数的能力的模块,可以是PSS client,DASH client,HLS client等(具体根据网络侧所请求的业务类型以及终端所支持的业务类型进行替换)。当终端收到网络侧设备发送的消息时,终端的AS/NAS模块将消息上传到client处,以查询是否具有“基于业务的质量参数的收集/上报能力”,再将相应的响应信息发送给AS/NAS模块,然后通过空口发送给网络侧设备。在进行基于业务的质量参数的收集和上报时,client将收集到的质量参数发送给AS/NAS模块,再通过空口发送给网络侧。
可选地,网络侧设备可以通过在第一请求消息中配置“终端收集和/或上报基于业务的体验质量”的信息并发送给终端,也即配置中可以包括网络侧设备需要请求的质量参数,还可以包括网络侧设备请求终端上报质量参数的上报方式,还可以包括网络侧设备请求终端获取质量参数时的获取方式。
具体地,网络侧设备发送第一请求消息的配置方案可以利用可扩展标记语言(Extensible Markup Language,简称XML)进行配置或利用HTTP POST REQUEST进行配置;也可以配置在网络侧设备发送给终端的下行信令/数据中。
相应地,终端上报质量参数时,该包含质量参数的质量参数上报消息可以利用XML语言生成或利用HTTP POST REQUEST生成,也可以将该质量参数上报消息包含在终端发送给网络侧设备的上行信令/数据中。
可选地,若网络侧设备在第一请求消息中配置质量参数的上报方式,在本发明的一个实施例中,终端在接收到该第一请求消息时,直接将该第一请求消息从AS/NAS发送给Client,由Client来根据请求消息生成包括质量参数的质量参数上报消息,然后再将该质量参数上报消息按照配置中的质量参数的上报方式发送给AS/NAS,例如Client周期性地将质量参数发送AS/NAS,然后再上报到网络侧设备。可以理解,通过该方式,AS/NAS和Client之间需要更多的交互(比如上报方式),但AS/NAS的处理复杂度较小。
可选地,若网络侧设备在第一请求消息中配置质量参数的上报方式,在本发明的另一个实施例中,终端在接收到该第一请求消息后,将通知Client需要获取的质量参数,并且由AS/NAS和Client根据配置中的质量参数的上报方式约定好质量参数从Client发送给AS/NAS的方式,比如Client周期性地将质量参数发送给AS/NAS,然后AS/NAS再根据第一请求消息,生成包括质量参数的质量参数上报消息,并上报至网络侧设备。可以理解,通过该方式,AS/NAS的处理复杂度较大,但AS/NAS和Client的交互较少。
更进一步,具体地,该配置可以针对不同的业务类型进行配置指示,例如,可以是分别针对流类业务和交互类业务进行指示。
更进一步地,具体地,该配置信息还可以针对不同的具体业务进行配置指示,例如,可以是分别针对视频类业务和网页浏览类业务进行指示。
更进一步地,网络侧设备也可以在网络侧设备发送第二请求消息时或之前,向终端发送业务类型的配置,即在网络侧设备请求终端上报“基于业务的质量参数的收集和/或上报能力”请求消息时或之前,网络侧设备已配置终端需要上报的业务类型,从而终端此时可只上报与该业务类型相关的能力信息。
需要说明,网络侧设备在配置“终端收集和/或上报基于业务的体验质量”的信息时,可以将业务类型的选择、质量参数的选择、质量参数的获取方法的选择以及上报方式的选择任意组合形成配置方案,例如,若网络侧设备想同时获取流类业务和交互类业务的质量参数时,可以配置与流类业务相关的三个质量参数通过分组交换业务的客户端的方式获取质量参数并周期性上报质量参数;并同时配置交互类业务的所有质量参数通过与交互类业务对应的应用层实体获取质量参数,并在交互类业务结束时上报质量参数,还可以有其它组合进行参数配置等等。
更进一步地,需要说明,若质量参数的获取方式或上报方式中的某一种方式已在协议中指定,则只需要配置另一种。
需要说明,终端向所述网络侧设备发送所述质量参数时按照所承载的协议类型上报,例如,如果网络侧设备向终端发送的配置信息携带在RRC信令中,则终端在上行RRC信令中上报质量参数,在LTE中的例子是Measurement Report;如果网络侧向终端发送的配置信息携带在NAS信令中,则终端在上行NAS信令中上报,在LTE中的例子是Attach Accept。
为了便于更好地理解和实施本发明实施例的上述方案,下面结合图5对本发明实施例进一步说明。
图5为本发明实施例提供的另一种质量参数的传输方法的通信示意图。图5所示的方法中,与图3所示方法相同或类似的内容可以参考图3中的详细描述,此处不再赘述。如图5所示,该方法可以包括以下部分:
在S501部分,网络侧设备向终端发送第二请求消息,第二请求消息用于请求与终端上报质量参数的能力相关的信息。
优选地,该第一请求消息包括请求终端上传其支持的业务类型及与业务类型相关的质量参数。
在S502部分,终端向网络侧设备发送指示消息。
该指示消息携带第一指示信息或第三指示信息,其中,第一指示信息用于指示终端具备上报该质量参数的能力,第三指示信息用于指示终端不具备上报该质量参数的能力。
在一个示例中,当指示消息携带第一指示信息时,继续执行S503部分和S504部分。
在另一个示例中,当指示信息携带第三指示信息时,不再执行S503部分和S504部分。
在S503部分,当该指示信息携带第一指示信息时,网络侧设备向终端发送第一请求消息,第一请求消息用于请求与预设业务的用户体验相关的质量参数。
在S504部分,终端向网络侧设备发送该质量参数。
更进一步的,终端上报质量参数的同时还可以上报记录这些参数的时间点信息。
举例说明,在一个示例中,网络侧设备向终端发送第二请求消息,请求终端上报其是否具有视频类业务的质量参数上报能力,以及其能上报的质量参数,终端向网络侧设备发送指示消息以告诉网络侧设备终端具有获取视频类业务用户体验相关的所有质量参数的能力,然后网络侧设备再向终端发送第一请求消息,该第一请求消息用于请求与视频类业务用户体验相关的所有质量参数,最后,终端将获取到的质量参数发送给网络侧设备。
可以看出,本实施例的方案中,网络侧设备向终端发送第二请求消息后,终端向网络侧设备发送质量参数获取能力的指示消息,然后网络侧设备再向终端发送获取质量参数的 第一请求消息,最后终端在获取到质量参数后将该质量参数发送给网络侧设备,从而网络侧设备通过从终端设备获取与预设业务的用户体验相关的质量参数,从而可以利用该质量参数来评估网络运营质量,有利于网络优化,以为终端提供更优的网络质量,提升用户体验。
本发明实施例中,网络侧设备可以为基站;或者,也可以为其它网络节点,例如SGSN、移动性管理实体、非接入层的网络实体或无线控制资源层的网络实体;或者,还可以为网管单元,例如OSS。OSS负责在帮助运营商制订符合自身特点的运营支撑系统的同时帮助确定系统的发展方向,此外,OSS还能帮助用户制订系统的整合标准,以及改善和提高用户的服务水平。
在一种可能的实施方式中,OSS可以向基站发送配置信息,OSS在该配置信息中指示了终端需要上报的参数(这里的参数和上面描述的参数相同),上报方式(例如周期性,事件触发等),业务类型等信息。进一步的,OSS还可以在该配置信息中指示以下信息中的至少一项:
1.有关特定终端进行QoE参数的上报的指示,此时可以在配置信息中包含终端的标识,例如国际移动用户识别码(International Mobile Subscriber Identity,IMSI)或临时移动用户识别码(Temporary Mobile Subscriber Identity,TMSI);基站收到该配置信息后可以向特定终端发送配置信息;
2.有关特定地区的终端进行上报的指示,例如有关某些小区或者某些公用陆地移动网(Public Land Mobile Network,PLMN)中的终端进行上报的指示,此时配置信息中需要包含至少一个小区标识(例如小区的小区全球识别码(Cell Global Identification,CGI)),或者基站标识;进一步的,该配置信息中还可以包含PLMN标识;
3.有关特定业务类型(service type)的指示,例如该特定业务类型可以是视频或者网页浏览;进一步的,若该特定业务类型为视频,还可以进一步指示是哪一种类型的视频,例如可以是按需流(On-Demand streaming)媒体、直播流(Live streaming)、交互式流(interactive stremaing)媒体(如FaceTime,Skype,WeChat等)、DASH或者基于HTTP的流。
进一步的,当基站从OSS接收上述配置信息后,可以直接将该配置信息发送给终端,也可以根据自身需求在该配置信息的基础上增加其他信息后再发送给终端。
上述主要从网络侧设备和终端交互的角度对本发明实施例提供的方案进行了介绍。可以理解的是,网络侧设备、终端为了实现上述功能,其包含了执行各个功能相应的硬件结构和/或软件模块。结合本发明中所公开的实施例描述的各示例的单元及算法步骤,本发明实施例能够以硬件或硬件和计算机软件的结合形式来实现。某个功能究竟以硬件还是计算机软件驱动硬件的方式来执行,取决于技术方案的特定应用和设计约束条件。本领域技术人员可以对每个特定的应用来使用不同的方法来实现所描述的功能,但是这种实现不应认为超出本发明实施例的技术方案的范围。
本发明实施例可以根据上述方法示例对网络侧设备和终端等进行功能单元的划分,例如,可以对应各个功能划分各个功能单元,也可以将两个或两个以上的功能集成在一个处理单元中。上述集成的单元既可以采用硬件的形式实现,也可以采用软件功能单元的形式 实现。需要说明的是,本发明实施例中对单元的划分是示意性的,仅仅为一种逻辑功能划分,实际实现时可以有另外的划分方式。
在采用集成的单元的情况下,图6示出了本发明实施例提供的一种可能的网络侧设备600的结构示意图。网络侧设备600包括:处理单元602和通信单元603。处理单元602用于对网络侧设备600的动作进行控制管理,例如,处理单元602用于支持网络侧设备600执行图3中的过程S301,图5中的过程S501和S503,通信单元603用于支持网络侧设备600与其他网络实体的通信,例如与终端的通信等。网络侧设备600还可以包括存储单元601,用于存储网络侧设备600的程序代码和数据。
其中,处理单元602可以是处理器或控制器。通信单元603可以为通信接口、收发器、收发电路等,其中,通信接口是统称,可以包括一个或多个接口。存储单元601可以是存储器。
当处理单元602为处理器,通信单元603为收发器,存储单元1301为存储器时,本发明实施例所涉及的网络侧设备600可以为图7所示的网络侧设备。例如,图7所示的网络侧设备可以为基站700。
图7示出了本发明实施例提供的一种可能的基站700,即示出了本发明实施例提供的另一种可能的网络侧设备。
基站700包括发射器/接收器701和处理器702。其中,处理器702也可以为控制器,图7中表示为“控制器/处理器702”。所述发射器/接收器701用于支持基站与上述实施例中的所述终端之间收发信息,以及支持所述终端与其他终端之间进行无线电通信。所述处理器702执行各种用于与终端通信的功能。在上行链路,来自所述终端的上行链路信号经由天线接收,由接收器701进行解调(例如将高频信号解调为基带信号),并进一步由处理器702进行处理来恢复终端所发送到业务数据和信令信息。在下行链路上,业务数据和信令消息由处理器702进行处理,并由发射器701进行调制(例如将基带信号调制为高频信号)来产生下行链路信号,并经由天线发射给终端。需要说明的是,上述解调或调制的功能也可以由处理器702完成。例如,处理器702还用于执行3中的过程S301,图5中的过程S501和S503,和/或本发明实施例所描述的技术方案的其他过程。
进一步的,基站700还可以包括存储器703,存储器703用于存储基站500的程序代码和数据。此外,基站还可以包括通信单元704。通信单元704用于支持基站与其他网络实体(例如核心网中的网络设备等)进行通信。例如,在LTE系统中,该通信单元704可以是S1-U接口,用于支持基站与服务网关(Serving Gateway,SGW)进行通信;或者,该通信单元704也可以是S1-MME接口,用于支持基站与移动性管理实体(Mobility Management Entity,MME)进行通信。
可以理解的是,图7仅仅示出了基站700的简化设计。在实际应用中,基站700可以包含任意数量的发射器,接收器,处理器,控制器,存储器,通信单元等,而所有可以实现本发明实施例的基站都在本发明实施例的保护范围之内。
