背景技术
在移动通信网络中，包括接入网和核心网两个部分。接入网是移动通信网络的边缘部分，负责将终端设备汇接到核心网中，实现终端设备与网络的连接，例如演进的通用陆地无线接入网(Evolved Universal Terrestrial Radio Access Network，E-UTRAN)。核心网负责根据终端设备通过接入网发送的呼叫请求或数据请求将所述终端设备接续到不同的网络上，以及计费、移动性管理等，例如演进的分组核心网(Evolved Packet Core，EPC)。
其中，核心网主要包括以下几个关键逻辑网元：移动管理实体(Mobility Management Entity，MME)、服务网关(Serving Gateway S-GW)以及分组数据网网关(Packet Data Network Gateway，P-GW)、归属用户服务器(Home Subscriber Service，HSS)以及策略和计费规则功能(Policy and charging rule function，PCRF)。
在核心网中，可以根据核心网设备的逻辑功能，划分为控制面(Control Plane，CP)网元和用户面(User Plane，UP)网元。控制面网元指负责移动网络中移动管理或转发路径管理的网元，可以是MME、S-GW，或P-GW，也可以是S-GW控制面或P-GW控制面，还可以是MME、S-GW和P-GW中任意网元融合形成控制面网元，或S-GW控制面和P-GW控制面融合形成控制面网元。用户面网元主要负责终端设备的业务报文的转发，可以是S-GW、P-GW、路由器、交换机、软件定义网络(Software Defined Network,SDN)虚拟机(switch)等物理转发面设备，还可以是S-GW转发面或P-GW转发面等虚拟的转发面网元。
随着无线通信技术的发展以及用户需求的不断变化，使得终端设备的类 型不断变化，以及出现了更多满足用户各种需求的应用。但是不同类型的终端设备或者同一终端设备的不同应用请求的业务对网络的要求不同，例如，提供实时视频服务的应用请求的业务对网络的业务连续性的要求较高，而提供普通数据服务如网页浏览的应用请求的业务对网络的业务连续性几乎没有要求。而现有的移动通信网络对所有类型的终端设备以及所有应用请求的业务提供相同配置的网络，不能实现按需处理不同的业务，导致移动通信网络中业务处理的灵活性较差。
