Description

建立承载的方法及装置 技术领域
本申请涉及通信领域,特别涉及一种建立承载的方法及装置。
背景技术
在智能交通系统(Intelligent Transportation System,ITS)中,通过车辆与车辆之间(Vehicle to Vehicle,V2V)通信,或者车辆与路边基础设施(Vehicle to Infrastructure,V2I)通信,或者车辆与行人之间的(Vehicle to Pedestrian,V2P)通信,或者车辆与网络(Vehicle to Network,V2N)通信来及时获取有关交通的各种信息,这些通信方式可以统称为车辆与外界(Vehicle to X,V2X)通信。X是车辆、路边基础设施、行人和网络的统称。
在通过长期演进(Long Term Evolution,LTE)技术将V2X消息从一个用户设备(User Equipment,UE)传输至另一个UE时,需要通过分组数据网(Packet Data Network,PDN)连接进行传输。如图1所示,一个典型的PDN连接包括:无线承载11、S1承载12和S5/S8承载13。其中,无线承载11是UE与演进型基站(eNode B,eNB)之间的承载、S1承载12是eNB与服务网关(Serving GateWay,SGW)之间的承载、S5/S8承载13是SGW与分组数据网关(PDN GateWay,PGW)之间的承载。
在传统的小区切换(Handover)过程中,PGW的部署位置较高,UE对应的PGW在小区切换过程中保持不变。但在V2X通信中,PGW以本地网关(Local GateWay,LGW)的形式部署在eNB的附近,因此UE还可能需要在不同的PGW之间切换。具体地,小区切换过程22和PGW切换过程24是互相分离的,通常先执行小区切换过程22,再执行PGW切换过程24。如图2所示,在基于X2接口的小区切换过程22中,目标eNB与UE建立第二无线承载之后,会向MME发送请求消息,MME在接收到该请求消息后,执行修改会话(Modify Session)流程,该修改会话流程会将第一S1承载修改为第二S1承载,保持源SGW和源PGW之间的第一S5/S8承载不变。在小区切换过程结束22后,由于跟踪区更新流程(Tracking Area Update,TAU)之类的因素触发,MME还 会判决该UE是否需要进行PGW切换。若需要切换,则MME触发目标eNB释放掉第二S1承载,触发源SGW释放掉第一S5/S8承载,另外,MME还会触发目标eNB新建第三S1承载,并触发目标SGW建立第二S5/S8承载。之后,UE通过第二无线承载、第三S1承载和第二S5/S8承载与互联网中的应用服务器进行通信。由于第二S5/S8承载是在小区切换过程之后进行的,导致UE从小区切换开始到能够与互联网中的应用服务器进行通信,需要耗费较长的切换时间,无法满足V2X通信在传输时延上的性能要求。
发明内容
为了解决整个切换过程的耗时较长,无法满足V2X通信在传输时延上的性能要求的问题,本申请提供了一种建立承载的方法及装置。所述技术方案如下:
本申请提供一种在小区切换过程中为终端建立承载的技术方案,使得PGW切换过程与小区切换过程同时执行,从而减少整个切换过程的耗时。
第一方面,提供了一种建立承载的方法,所述方法包括:
移动性管理实体接收接入网设备发送的第一请求消息,所述第一请求消息是所述接入网设备在终端的小区切换过程中发送的,所述接入网设备是所述终端的源接入网设备或所述终端的目标接入网设备;
所述移动性管理实体根据所述第一请求消息,确定所述终端的目标服务网关和所述终端的目标分组数据网关;
所述移动性管理实体向所述目标服务网关发送第二请求消息,所述第二请求消息用于请求所述目标服务网关为所述终端建立第一承载,所述第一承载是所述目标服务网关和所述目标分组数据网关之间的承载;
所述移动性管理实体接收所述目标服务网关发送的第二响应消息,所述第二响应消息携带有所述目标分组数据网关为所述终端分配的IP地址;
所述移动性管理实体向所述终端发送所述IP地址。
在该实现方式中,第一请求消息是接入网设备在终端的小区切换过程中向移动性管理实体发送的消息,通过移动性管理实体接收到第一请求消息后,由移动性管理实体根据第一请求消息来确定目标服务网关和目标分组数据网关,并请求目标服务网关为终端建立第一承载,使得将第一承载的建立过程与小区切换过程并行完成,终端能够在小区切换之后使用第一承载进行通信,从而减 少了整个切换过程的耗时,满足V2X消息在传输时延上的需求。
在第一方面的第一种可能的实现方式中,所述第一请求消息携带所述终端的目标小区的标识;所述移动性管理实体根据所述第一请求消息确定所述终端的目标服务网关和所述终端的目标分组数据网关,包括:
所述移动性管理实体从所述第一请求消息中获取所述目标小区的标识;
所述移动性管理实体根据所述目标小区的标识,确定所述终端的所述目标服务网关和所述终端的所述目标分组数据网关。
在该实现方式中,由于移动性管理实体是根据目标小区的标识来确定目标服务网关和目标分组数据网关,移动性管理实体可以选择出与目标小区之间的传输时延最小的目标服务网关和目标分组数据网关,尽可能满足V2X消息在传输时延上的需求。
结合第一方面或第一方面的第一种可能的实现方式,在第一方面的第二种可能的实现方式中,所述接入网设备是所述终端的源接入网设备,所述第一请求消息是切换请求消息;或,所述接入网设备是所述终端的目标接入网设备,所述第一请求消息是路径切换请求消息。
在该实现方式中,对于基于X2接口的切换过程,第一请求消息为路径切换请求消息;对于基于S1接口的切换过程,第一请求消息为切换请求消息,使得该实现方式既能应用于基于X2接口的切换过程,也能应用于基于S1接口的切换过程,增加了该实现方式的适用场景范围。
结合第一方面或第一方面的第一种可能的实现方式或第一方面的第二种可能的实现方式,在第一方面的第三种可能的实现方式中,所述第二请求消息包括:第一指示信息;
所述第一指示信息是用于指示所述目标服务网关为所述终端建立所述第一承载。
结合第一方面或第一方面的第一种可能的实现方式或第一方面的第二种可能的实现方式或第一方面的第三种可能的实现方式,在第一方面的第四种可能的实现方式中,所述移动性管理实体接收所述目标服务网关发送的第二响应消息之后,还包括:
所述移动性管理实体向所述终端的源服务网关发送第三请求消息,所述第三请求消息用于请求所述源服务网关删除所述终端对应的第二承载,所述第二承载是所述源服务网关与所述终端的源分组数据网关之间的承载;
所述移动性管理实体接收所述源服务网关发送的第三响应消息。
在该实现方式中,由于先为UE建立目标服务网关和目标分组数据网关之间的第一承载,再为UE释放源服务网关和源分组数据网关侧的第二承载,属于“软切换”,从而保证用户设备的会话连续性,不会产生中断。
结合第一方面或第一方面的第一种可能的实现方式或第一方面的第二种可能的实现方式或第一方面的第三种可能的实现方式或第一方面的第四种可能的实现方式,在第一方面的第五种可能的实现方式中,所述第三请求消息包括:第二指示信息,所述第二指示信息是用于指示所述源服务网关删除所述终端对应的所述第二承载的信息。
第二方面,提供了一种建立承载的装置,该装置包括至少一个单元,该至少一个单元用于实现上述第一方面或第一方面中任意一种可能的实现方式所提供的建立承载的方法。
第三方面,本发明实施例提供了一种移动性管理实体,该移动性管理实体包括处理器、存储器和通信接口;所述处理器用于存储一个或一个以上的指令,所述指令被指示为由所述处理器执行,所述处理器用于实现上述第一方面或第一方面中任意一种可能的实现方式所提供的建立承载的方法。
第四方面,本发明实施例提供一种计算机可读存储介质,该计算机可读存储介质中存储有用于实现上述第一方面或第一方面中任意一种可能的设计所提供的建立承载的方法的可执行程序。

具体实施方式
为使本发明的目的、技术方案和优点更加清楚,下面将结合附图对本发明实施方式作进一步地详细描述。
请参考图3,其示出了本发明一个实施例提供的通信系统30的结构示意图。该通信系统10可以是用于传输V2X消息的车联网系统。该通信系统30包括:终端31、源接入网设备32、目标接入网设备33、MME34、源SGW35、目标SGW36、源PGW37、目标PGW38和应用服务器39。
终端31是用于收发V2X消息的终端。可选地,终端31是设置在车辆(Vehicle)上面的终端。终端31上运行有V2X应用程序。在采用不同的通信协议时,本发明实施例中的终端31可以称为订户单元(Subscriber Unit)、订户站(Subscriber Station),移动站(Mobile Station)、移动台(Mobile)、远程站(Remote Station)、接入点(Access Point)、远程终端(Remote Terminal)、接入终端(Access Terminal)、用户终端(User Terminal)、用户代理(User Agent)、用户设备(User Equipment,UE)等,本申请对此不作限定。
终端31通过空中接口与源接入网设备32通信,或者,终端31通过空中接口与目标接入网设备33通信。
源接入网设备12和目标接入网设备13是通信系统10中任意两个相邻的接入网设备,接入网设备也称接入网网元。每个接入网设备负责一个或多个小区中所有无线相关的功能。源接入网设备32和目标接入网设备33可以是基站。例如,基站可以是全球移动通信系统(Global System forMobilecommunications,GSM)或码分多址(英文:Code-Division Multiple Access,简称:CDMA)中的基站(Base Transceiver Station,BTS),也可以是宽带码分多址(Wideband Code-Division Multiple Access WCDMA)中的基站(NodeB),还可以是LTE中的演进型基站(evolutional Node B,eNB或e-NodeB),本申请对此不作限定。
源接入网设备12和目标接入网设备13通过X2接口相连。
每个接入网设备均通过S1接口与核心网相连。核心网又称演进的分组核心网(Evolved Packet Core,EPC)。具体来讲,源接入网设备32和目标接入网设备33均通过S1控制平面部分(图中S1-C接口)连接到MME34,源接入网设备32通过S1用户平面部分(图中S1-U接口)连接到源SGW35,目标接入网设备12通过S1-U接口连接到目标SGW36。
MME14是EPC的控制平面节点。MME34的工作包括:对终端31的承载连接/释放。可选地,MME14与终端31之间的功能操作可称为非接入层(NonAccess Stratum,NAS)。与其不同的是,接入层(Access Stratum,AS)主要处理终端31与接入网设备之间的功能操作。
源SGW35和目标SGW36是EPC的用户平面节点。SGW是终端31在不同接入网设备之间移动时的移动性锚点。
MME14通过S11接口与源SGW15相连,MME14通过S11接口与目标SGW36相连。源SGW35还通过S5/S8接口与源PGW37相连,目标SGW16还通过S5/S8接口与目标PGW38相连。
可选地,源PGW37和目标PGW38以LGW的形式部署在接入网设备的附近。源PGW37和目标PGW38用于将EPC连接到互联网。在本实施例中,源PGW37和目标PGW38与互联网中的V2X应用服务器39相连。
V2X应用服务器39用于为终端31中的V2X应用提供后台服务。
另外,通信系统30中还包含其它类型的节点,比如,多媒体广播多播业务(Multimedia Broadcast/Multicast Service,MBMS)或者归属用户服务器(Home Subscriber Server,HSS)。图3中未示出全部可能的节点,但不构成对该通信系统30的限定。
应当注意的是,以上描述的各个节点均为逻辑节点。在实际的物理实现中,其中有些节点很可能被合并在一起。例如,源SGW35和源PGW37通常被合并实现在同一个物理节点中,目标SGW36和目标PGW38通常被合并实现在同一个物理节点中。
还需要说明的是,当上述通信系统采用第五代移动通信技术5G时,上述各个网元在5G系统中可能会具有不同的名称,但具有相同或相似的功能,本申请对此不作限定。
请参考图4,其示出了本发明一个实施例提供的建立承载的方法的流程图。本实施例以该方法应用于图3所示的通信系统30中来举例说明。该方法包括:
步骤401,移动性管理实体接收接入网设备发送的第一请求消息。
其中,该第一请求消息是在终端的小区切换过程中由接入网设备向移动性管理实体发送的。该接入网设备是终端的源接入网设备或目标接入网设备。当该小区切换过程是接入网设备内的小区切换时,源小区和目标小区属于同一接入网设备,也即源接入网设备和目标接入网设备可以为同一个接入网设备。
需要指出的是,当设置在车辆上的终端高速移动时,会进行小区切换。从源接入网设备的源小区移动到目标接入网设备的目标小区。小区切换(Handover)是由网络侧的源接入网设备发起的,终端测量当前所在小区(源小区)及邻区的信号质量,上报给源接入网设备。源接入网设备再根据终端上报的当前小区及邻区的信号质量决定是否发起小区切换、以及向哪个小区切换。

在上述实施例中,第一请求消息是接入网设备在终端的小区切换过程中向移动性管理实体发送的消息,通过移动性管理实体接收到第一请求消息后,由移动性管理实体根据第一请求消息来确定目标服务网关和目标分组数据网关,并请求目标服务网关为终端建立第一承载,使得将第一承载的建立过程与小区切换过程并行完成,终端能够在小区切换之后使用第一承载进行通信,从而减少了整个切换过程的耗时,满足V2X消息在传输时延上的需求。
小区切换过程包括两种形式:基于X2接口的小区切换过程和基于S1的小区切换过程。由于基于X2接口的小区切换过程更为常见,下一实施例结合基于X2接口的小区切换过程,对本发明实施例进行详细阐述。

另外,由于本实施例中是先为UE建立目标SGW和目标PGW之间的第一 承载,再为UE删除源SGW和源PGW之间的第二承载,属于“软切换”,从而保证UE的会话连续性,不会产生中断。
需要说明的是,基于S1接口的切换过程与图5A和图5B所示实施例类似,但由于源eNB和目标eNB不再通过X2接口交换信息,所以步骤510中由目标eNB发送的路径切换请求消息,改为由源eNB发送的切换请求消息。
