Abstract
本发明实施例公开了一种移动性管理方法、设备及通信系统,涉及通信领域,以兼顾终端的业务连续性以及接收数据业务报文的时延。具体方案为,通信系统包括LISP网络,LISP网络包括终端移动之后需接入的TR,和移动通信网络,移动通信网络包括与TR之间存在信令接口的网络设备,网络设备用于获知需切换网关,通过信令接口向TR发送注册请求,注册请求包括终端的标识或终端的业务流的标识,注册请求用于通知需进行网关切换;TR用于从网络设备接收注册请求后,触发LISP网络的路由的切换;网络设备是数据业务报文转发的锚点设备,或者是用于对数据业务报文转发的锚点设备进行控制的设备。本发明实施例用于移动性管理的过程中。
Description
本发明实施例涉及通信领域,尤其涉及一种移动性管理方法、设备及通信系统。
随着通信技术的发展,业界为了确保第三代合作伙伴项目(the 3rd generation partnership project,3GPP)网络的领先优势,制定了移动通信网络的长期演进(long term evolution,LTE)计划,并在该LTE计划的指导下定义了新的移动通信网络架构,称为演进分组系统(evolved packet system,EPS)。该EPS的核心网主要包括移动管理实体(mobile management entity,MME)、分组数据网网关(packet data network gateway,PGW)和服务网关(serving gateway,SGW)三个逻辑功能体。
在现有技术中,为了实现灵活部署,并方便扩容,业界又提出了控制面-用户面(control plane-user plane,CU)分离技术,其主要是基于控制和转发解耦的思想将核心网分为控制面和用户面。具体的,采用了CU分离技术的网络架构图可以如图1所示。其中,控制面(control plane,CP)可以包括MME、控制面网关(gateway control plane,GW-C)等逻辑功能体,用户面可以包括用户面网关(gateway user plane,GW-U)等逻辑功能体。GW-U主要用于转发数据业务报文,其转发数据业务报文的逻辑由CP控制完成。在这种网络架构下,如图2所示,当终端处于基站1的覆盖范围内时,可以通过第一GW-U和路由器1接入访问应用(Application,APP)业务,数据业务报文的传输路径如图2中的虚线所示。其中,第一GW-U既实现分组数据网用户面网关(packet data network gateway user plane,PGW-U)的逻辑功能,还实现服务用户面网关(serving gateway user plane,SGW-U)的逻辑功能。若终端发生了移动,为了确保终端的业务连
续性,终端移动过程中的锚点网关(即转发数据报文的PGW-U)是不能发生变化的。也就是说,如图2所示,若终端由基站1的覆盖范围移动到基站2(基站2和基站1由不同的网关管理)的覆盖范围内,则终端需通过第二GW-U、路由器2、路由器1并经由第一GW-U才能继续访问APP业务。此时的数据业务报文的传输路径如图2中的实线所示,其中第一GW-U实现PGW-U的逻辑功能,第二GW-U实现SGW-U的逻辑功能。
现有技术中至少存在如下问题:若终端发生移动,终端通过第二GW-U、路由器2、路由器1并经由第一GW-U继续访问APP业务,虽然保证了终端的业务连续性,但是会导致业务路径迂回,从而导致终端接收到数据业务报文的时延增大。
发明内容
本发明实施例提供一种移动性管理方法及设备,以兼顾终端的业务连续性以及接收数据业务报文的时延。

网络设备用于获知需切换网关,并通过信令接口向TR发送注册请求,其中,该注册请求包括终端的标识或终端的业务流的标识,注册请求用于通知需进行网关切换。TR用于从网络设备接收注册请求后,触发LISP网络的路由的切换。
本发明实施例提供的通信系统包括LISP网络和移动通信网络,在这种通信系统下,若终端发生移动且需进行网关切换时,便可以在保证终端的业务连续性的前提下进行网关的切换,进而避免了业务路径迂回的现象出现,即兼顾了终端的业务连续性以及接收数据
业务报文的时延。并且,通过在移动通信网络中的网络设备和LISP网络中的第一TR之间设置信令接口,使得在终端发生移动且需要切换网关时,网络设备可以通过信令接口向第一TR发送注册请求,该注册请求用于通知需进行网关切换,以便在LISP网络中执行路由的切换,这样避免了LISP网络无法感知网关变化,或LISP网络中路由的切换时间长于移动通信网络中网关的切换的时间导致的数据包丢失的情况出现。
结合第一方面,在一种可能的实现方式中,为了使得网络设备及时获知在LISP网络中的路由切换已完成,在LISP网络的路由的切换完成后,TR用于通过信令接口向网络设备发送注册请求确认,注册请求确认用于通知在LISP网络中的路由的切换已完成,网络设备用于从TR接收注册请求确认。

下面将结合附图对本发明实施例的实施方式进行详细描述。
如图3所示,图3示出的是可以应用本发明实施例的系统架构
的简化示意图。该系统架构可以包括:终端11、移动通信网络和LISP网络。
其中,移动通信网络可以是采用了CU分离技术的EPS。具体的,该移动通信网络至少可以包括:基站12、MME 13、GW-U 14、GW-C 15。MME 13和GW-C 15组成了CP。另外,该移动通信网络还可以是5G网络,此时CP可以包括移动性管理(mobility management,MM)、控制面会话管理(session management control,SM-C)等逻辑功能模块组成的网元,GW-U 14可以为用户面会话管理(session management user,SM-U)等逻辑功能模块组成的网元。
LISP网络至少可以包括:位于公网的第一TR 16和第二TR 17、位于映射系统的映射服务器18。
终端11可以包括各种具有无线通信功能的手持设备(如手机、智能终端、多媒体设备或流媒体设备等)、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)等等。为方便描述,上面提到的设备统称为终端11。
基站12可以是无线通信的基站(Base Station,BS)或基站控制器等。基站12是一种部署在无线接入网中用以为终端11提供无线通信功能的装置,其主要功能有:进行无线资源的管理、互联网协议(Internet Protocol,IP)头的压缩及用户数据流的加密、用户设备附着时进行MME的选择、路由用户面数据至SGW、寻呼消息的组织和发送、广播消息的组织和发送、以移动性或调度为目的的测量及测量报告的配置等等。基站12可以包括各种形式的宏基站、微基站、中继站、接入点等等。在采用不同的无线接入技术的系统中,具备基站功能的设备的名称可能会有所不同,例如,在LTE系统中,称为演进的基站(evolved NodeB,eNB或eNodeB),在第3代移动通信技术(The 3rd Generation Telecommunication,3G)系统中,称为基站(Node B)等等。随着通信技术的演进,“基站”这一
名称可能会变化。此外,在其它可能的情况下,基站12可以是其它为终端11提供无线通信功能的装置。为方便描述,本发明实施例中,为终端11提供无线通信功能的装置称为基站12。
MME 13主要负责非接入层协议(Non-Access-Stratum,NAS)信令的传输、NAS信令加密、漫游、跟踪、分配用户临时身份标识等功能。
GW-U 14和GW-C 15共同负责为终端11提供业务网关功能、移动锚点功能,策略执行功能等。具体的:GW-U 14作为转发业务数据报文的锚点设备,主要负责业务数据报文的转发。GW-C 15保持与周边网元的信令接口,负责控制GW-U 14转发业务数据报文的逻辑。
第一TR 16和第二TR 17均为具备入口隧道路由器(ingress tunnel router,ITR)和出口隧道路由器(egress tunnel router,ETR)功能的TR。
映射服务器18主要用于从具备ETR功能的TR收集并存储终端11的标识和与终端11的标识对应的TR的RLOC。
在本发明实施例中,GW-U 14与第一TR 16对应部署,或者第一TR 16作为功能模块部署在GW-U 14内部。
第一TR 16与GW-U 14之间设置有信令接口,或者,第一TR 16与用于对GW-U 14进行控制的GW-C 15之间设置有信令接口。另外,当第一TR 16与用于对GW-U 14进行控制的GW-C 15之间设置有信令接口时,GW-C 15需对第一TR 16与GW-U 14的对应关系进行配置。示例性的,作为一种实例,如图3所示,本发明实施例在此第一TR 16与GW-U 14之间设置有信令接口为例示出。
需要说明的是,在本发明实施例中,GW-U 14和GW-C 15在不同的应用场景下,可以分别为本发明实施例中的网络设备。当GW-U 14为本发明实施例中的网络设备时,GW-U 14与第一TR 16之间设置有信令接口。当GW-C 15为本发明实施例中的网络设备时,GW-C 15与第一TR 16之间设置有信令接口。
另外,在本发明实施例中,第一TR 16为终端11移动之后需要接入的TR,第二TR 17为终端11移动前接入的TR。
图4为本发明实施例提供的一种移动性管理方法的流程图,应用于图3所示的系统中。如图4所示,该方法可以包括:
需要说明的是,本发明实施例应用于网关切换的场景中。在本发明实施例中,当图3所示的GW-U 14为本发明实施例中的网络设备时,该GW-U 14是终端移动之后需切换到的网关。当图3所示的GW-C 15为本发明实施例中的网络设备时,该GW-C 15是用于对终端移动之后需切换到的网关进行控制的网关。
201、网络设备获知需切换网关。
其中,在终端发生移动且需要切换网关时,网络设备可以获知需切换网关。
例如,当网络设备为图3所示的GW-C 15时,网络设备获知需切换网关具体的可以是:网络设备接收到MME发送的修改承载请求,并根据修改承载请求中包括的终端的位置信息确定需切换网关,即由第二TR切换到第一TR。可选的,当第二TR为基于终端粒度的网关时,网络设备还可以确定出该网关切换是基于终端的;当第二TR为基于终端的业务流粒度的网关时,网络设备还可以确定出该网关的切换是基于终端的业务流的。
当网络设备为图3所示的GW-U 14时,网络设备获知需切换网关具体的可以是:网络设备接收到GW-C发送的创建会话请求或修改会话请求。其中,GW-C是在确定出需切换网关,即由第二TR切换到第一TR时,向网络设备发送创建会话请求或修改会话请求的。GW-C可以通过创建会话请求或修改会话请求显示(或隐示)地通知网络设备该网关的切换是基于终端的,还是基于终端的业务流的。
202、网络设备通过信令接口向第一TR发送注册请求。其中,注册请求包括终端的标识或终端的业务流的标识。该注册请求用于通知需进行网关切换。
例如,当网关的切换是基于终端的时,该注册请求可以包括终
端的标识,如终端的终端标识(end-host identifier,EID)。当网关的切换是基于终端的某个业务流的时,该注册请求中可以包括该业务流的标识,如用于标识该业务流的n元组(n-tuple)。示例性的,业务流的标识包括五元组(5-tuple),该5-tuple可以包括:源IP地址,目的IP地址,协议类型、源端口,目的端口。当然,业务流的标识也可以包括该5-tuple中的部分元素。
203、第一TR接收网络设备通过信令接口发送的注册请求后,触发LISP网络的路由的切换。
例如,在第一TR接收到网络设备发送的注册请求之后,第一TR可以向映射服务器发送映射请求。映射服务器在接收到映射请求之后,可以执行相应的路由切换,并可以根据接收到的映射请求向第二TR发送第一映射通知。第二TR根据第一映射通知执行相应的路由切换,并在执行完成之后向映射服务器发送映射通知确认。映射服务器在接收到映射通知确认之后,可以向第一TR发送第二映射通知,该第二映射通知用于通知在LISP网络中路由切换完成。第一TR在接收到映射服务器发送的第二映射通知后,便可以获知在LISP网络中的路由切换完成,进而执行以下步骤204。
其中,当注册请求中包括终端的标识时,映射请求中包括终端的标识,以及与终端的标识对应的第一TR的RLOC。第一映射通知中包括终端的标识,以及与终端的标识对应的第一TR的RLOC,以便于映射服务器和第二TR更新与终端对应的RLOC,即针对终端执行相应的路由切换。

步骤20:MME向GW-C发送删除间接数据隧道转发请求(delete indirect data forwarding tunnel request)。
步骤20a:GW-C向源GW-U发送删除会话请求(delete session request)和删除间接数据隧道转发请求,源GW-U向GW-C发送删除会话响应(delete session response)和删除间接数据隧道转发响应(delete indirect data forwarding tunnel response)。
步骤20b:GW-C向目标GW-U发送删除间接数据隧道转发请求,目标GW-U向GW-C发送删除间接数据隧道转发响应。
步骤20c:GW-C向MME发送删除间接数据隧道转发响应。
需要说明的是,在本发明实施例中为了实现LISP网络和移动通信网络的交互,可以在GW-U和目标TR之间设置信令接口,也可以在GW-C和目标TR之间设置信令接口。上述流程中是以GW-U和目标TR之间存在信令接口,并通过GW-U和目标TR之间的信令接口完成LISP网络和移动通信网络的交互为例的S1 based handover流程。
当通过GW-C和目标TR之间的信令接口完成LISP网络和移动通信网络的交互时,与上述流程的区别为:
将步骤12替换为:GW-C向目标TR发送终端的注册请求,其中,目标TR指的是与目标GW-U对应的TR,目标TR与GW-C之间存在信令接口,即步骤12具体的可以是,GW-C通过与目标TR之间的信令接口向目标TR发送终端的注册请求;
将步骤16替换为:目标TR向GW-C发送终端的请求确认。例如,目标TR通过与GW-C之间的信令接口向GW-C发送终端的请求确认。
另外,上述流程是基于用户的X2切换流程,还可以采用上述流程进行基于业务流的X2切换流程。
当采用上述流程进行基于业务流的X2切换流程时,与上述流程的区别为:
步骤12中的终端的注册请求中不包括EID,而包括的是n-tuple,该n-tuple为需要进行S1切换的业务流的n-tuple;
步骤13中的映射请求中不包括EID以及与EID对应的目标TR的RLOC,而包括的是n-tuple以及与n-tuple对应的目标TR的RLOC,以便映射服务器将映射请求中包括的n-tuple和目标TR的RLOC对应保存;
end marker消息中不包括EID,而包括的是n-tuple。
实施例6,如图12所示,以业务流分流(offload)流程,且网络设备为GW-C为例,对本发明的移动性管理方法进行具体介绍。
步骤1:终端发起针对新业务的业务请求。
步骤2:GW-U检测到终端的新业务的业务流。
其中,该GW-U可以是R-GWU,此时在终端将该新业务的业务流发送至R-GWU时,R-GWU便可以检测到终端的新业务的业务流。该GW-U也可以是L-GWU,由于终端的所有业务都默认经由该L-GWU,因此,当终端发起新业务时,L-GWU便可以检测到终端的新业务的业务流。
步骤3:GW-U向GW-C发送事件上报。
其中,GW-U可以根据预先配置的规则或者GW-C下发的规则,对业务进行匹配,当业务匹配到该规则时,按照规则的匹配结果向GW-C发送事件上报。
步骤4:GW-C确定需将新业务的业务流分流到L-GWU。
其中,GW-C可以根据该新业务的位置等信息确定是否需将新业务的业务流分流到L-GWU。GW-C可以为该新业务建立专有承载,以便完成业务的分流,或者,若该新业务已经由L-GWU传输,那么GW-C可以向该L-GWU下发相应的业务流处理方法,以便L-GWU
完成业务的分流。
另外,GW-C也可以根据终端发起的承载资源修改流程,或者策略与计费规则功能PCRF(Policy and Charging Rules Function,PCRF)发起的IP连接接入网(IP-Connectivity Access Network,IP-CAN)会话修改确定将业务流分流到L-GWU。
步骤5:GW-C向GW-U发送创建会话请求(或者修改会话请求),GW-U接收GW-C发送的创建会话响应(或者修改会话响应)。
步骤6:GW-C向第一TR发送注册请求。
其中,第一TR为与L-GWU对应的TR,第一TR与GW-C之间存在信令接口,步骤6具体的为:GW-C通过与第一TR之间的信令接口向第一TR发送注册请求,该注册请求中包括终端的新业务的业务流的标识。
步骤7:第一TR将终端的新业务的业务流注册到LISP网络中。
其中,在注册完成之后,若有下行数据需要发送,该新业务所在的数据中心(data centre,DC)中的TR便可以根据该新业务的业务流的标识,从LISP网络中检索与该新业务的业务流的标识对应的TR,即可以检测到第一TR,并将下行数据发送至第一TR。
需要说明的是,在本发明实施例中为了实现LISP网络和移动通信网络的交互,可以在GW-U和第一TR之间设置信令接口,也可以在GW-C和第一TR之间设置信令接口。上述流程中是以GW-C和第一TR之间存在信令接口,并通过GW-C和第一TR之间的信令接口完成LISP网络和移动通信网络的交互为例的业务流offload流程。
当通过GW-U和第一TR之间的信令接口完成LISP网络和移动通信网络的交互时,与上述流程的区别为:
将步骤6替换为:GW-U向第一TR发送终端的注册请求,其中,第一TR与GW-U之间存在信令接口,即步骤6具体的可以是,GW-U通过与第一TR之间的信令接口向第一TR发送终端的注册请求。GW-U可以在接收到步骤5中的GW-C发送的创建会话请求或者修
改会话请求之后,向第一TR发送注册请求。
