Description

一种建立公用数据网连接的方法及相关设备 技术领域
本发明实施例涉及通信技术领域,具体涉及一种建立公用数据网连接的方法及相关设备。
背景技术
目前,演进的分组系统(Evolved Packet System,EPS)由用户设备(User Equipment,UE)、接入网和演进的分组核心网(Evolved Packet Core,EPC)组成。其中,接入网采用的频谱为授权频谱,如通用地面无线接入网(Universal Terrestrial Radio Access Network,UTRAN)、演进的通用地面无线接入网(Evolved UTRAN,E-UTRAN)等,随着移动宽带业务的发展,授权频谱逐渐不能满足快速增长的业务需求,采用非授权频谱作为新的无线接入技术以提升空口承载能力成为EPS接入网的发展趋势。
在实践中发现,UE从接入网附着到归属运营商EPC的同时,归属运营商EPC会为其建立公用数据网(Public Data Network,PDN)连接,实现UE的“永久在线”。然而,在采用非授权频谱的本地网络接入归属运营商EPC的网络架构中,UE附着到归属运营商EPC后,可能只需要进行本地业务,如果UE附着后永久在线,则会占用EPC的网络资源,从而降低EPC网络资源的利用率。
发明内容
本发明实施例公开了一种建立PDN连接的方法、相关设备及系统,可以在UE从非授权频谱接入EPC时实现为UE建立PDN连接。
本发明实施例第一方面公开了一种建立PDN连接的方法,应用于EPS,其中,该方法可以包括:
在UE从采用非授权频谱的本地网络接入时,安全网关(Security Gate Way,SeGW)在接收到本地网络设备发送的用于请求为UE建立PDN连接的第一请求消息后,获取UE的无线接入技术指示以及UE附着的控制面网元的标识,并基 于控制面网元的标识向控制面网元发送第二请求消息,第二请求消息携带UE的用户标识和无线接入技术指示,用于请求获取数据网关(Public Data Network Gateway,PGW)的标识,这样控制面网元在接收到第二请求消息后,会基于用户标识和无线接入技术指示向SeGW发送PGW的标识。SeGW从而可以基于PGW的标识向对应的PGW发送第三请求消息,用于请求建立SeGW与PGW之间的会话通道连接。SeGW从而可以接收PGW基于第三请求消息与SeGW建立会话通道连接的响应。
其中,该第一请求消息由UE发送给本地网络设备,用于请求为UE建立PDN连接,UE的PDN连接包括UE与SeGW之间的安全通道连接和SeGW与PGW之间的会话通道连接。
具体的,第一请求消息可以为接入点名称(Access Point Name,APN)连接请求消息,也可以为PDN连接请求消息,第二请求消息可以为PDN连接建立请求消息。第三请求消息可以为会话建立请求消息。PGW在接收到第二请求消息后,会与SeGW建立会话通道连接。同时PGW会为UE分配IP地址,为PDN连接分配隧道,服务质量(Quality of Service,QoS)参数等,并记录此次PDN连接为非授权频谱接入。
UE在附着到归属网络后,在有EPC业务需求的情况下触发建立PDN连接,从而可以避免在不需要EPC业务的情况下对EPC网络资源的占用,提高了EPC网络资源的利用率。
可选的,SeGW获取UE的无线接入技术指示的具体方式可以包括以下两种:
方式一、
本地网络设备在转发第一请求消息的同时,会携带用于指示UE接入的RAT为非授权频谱接入的无线接入技术指示,SeGW在接收到第一请求消息后,可以从第一请求消息中获取该无线接入技术指示。
方式二、
本地网络设备在转发第一请求消息的同时,会携带本地网络的无线接入节点的信息,该信息指示无线接入节点为非授权频谱无线接入节点。因此,SeGW在接收到第一请求消息后,可以根据无线接入节点的信息确定UE接入的RAT为非授权频谱接入,并生成无线接入技术指示。
可选的,SeGW获取UE附着的控制面网元的标识的具体方式可以包括以下几种:
方式一、
本地网络设备在转发第一请求消息的同时,会携带归属网络为UE分配的临时标识,该临时标识中包括UE附着的控制面网元的标识,SeGW在接收到第一请求消息后可以从临时标识中获取UE附着的控制面网元的标识;或者,本地网络设备在转发第一请求消息的同时,直接携带UE附着的控制面网元的标识,SeGW直接从第一请求消息中获取该UE附着的控制面网元的标识。
方式二、
本地网络设备在转发第一请求消息的同时,会携带本地网络设备为UE分配的本地IP地址,SeGW在接收到第一请求消息后,可以向本地网络设备发送用于请求获取UE附着的控制面网元的标识的请求消息,如连接信息请求消息,该消息携带有UE的本地互联网协议(Internet Protocol,IP)地址。本地网络设备在接收到连接信息请求消息后,会基于UE的本地IP地址查找UE的上下文,从而将UE上下文中包含的UE当前附着的控制面网元的标识通过该连接信息回复消息发送给SeGW。
方式三、
SeGW在接收到第一请求消息后,可以向归属网络签约服务器(Home Subscriber Server,HSS)发送用于请求获取UE附着的控制面网元的标识的请求消息,如更新位置请求消息,该消息包含UE的永久标识,如国际移动用户识别码(International Mobile Subscriber Identification Number,IMSI),HSS基于UE的IMSI查找UE的上下文,如果UE已经附着到控制面网元,则HSS会存储当前附着的控制面网元的标识,从而回复更新位置回复消息给SeGW,该消息携带UE附着的控制面网元的标识。
可选的,该方法还可以包括:
在需要保持UE移动时业务的连续性的情况下,SeGW可以接收控制面网元发送的用于指示SeGW反馈与PGW之间的会话通道连接建立结果的指示消息,并在与PGW之间的会话通道连接建立完成之后向控制面网元发送该会话通道连接的连接信息。
其中,该指示消息可以是需要反馈(Acknowledge,ACK)needed指示,也可以是支持切换(Handover,HO)supported指示,还可以是业务连续性指示。该连接信息可以包括PGW为该会话通道连接分配的隧道标识(Tunnel Endpoint Identity,TEID),该UE的IP地址以及QoS中的至少一种。
可选的,SeGW接收控制面网元基于用户标识以及无线接入技术指示返回的PGW的标识,包括:
如果第一请求消息携带UE请求的APN,其中,该请求的APN为无线接入技术指示下的APN,SeGW向控制面网元发送的第二请求消息中也携带有该请求的APN,SeGW则接收控制面网元基于用户标识在对请求的APN授权通过后返回的授权通过的APN对应的APN的标识;
或者,
如果第一请求消息未携带UE请求的APN,SeGW则接收控制面网元基于用户标识和无线接入技术指示返回的UE的签约数据中缺省APN对应的APN的标识。
在为UE建立PDN连接过程中,UE直接与SeGW建立安全通道,然后由SeGW去找控制面网元,这样UE与SeGW之间可以采用进行安全通道进行通信,第三方部署的本地网络对通信内容不可见,从而实现了对运营商业务的保护。
本发明实施例第二方面公开了一种安全网关,该安全网关可以包括收发模块和处理模块,可以用于执行第一方面公开的建立PDN连接的方法。
本发明实施例第三方面公开了另一种安全网关,该安全网关可以包括收发器和处理器,其中,收发器对应第二方面公开的安全网关的收发模块,处理器对应第二方面公开的安全网关的处理模块,可以用于执行第一方面公开的建立PDN连接的方法。
本发明实施例第四方面公开了另一种建立PDN连接的方法,应用于EPS,其中,该方法可以包括:
在UE从采用非授权频谱的本地网络接入时,控制面网元可以接收SeGW发送的第二请求消息,并基于第二请求消息中携带的UE的用户标识和无线接入技术指示将PGW的标识发送给SeGW,以便SeGW与该APN对应的PGW的标识所标记的PGW建立会话通道连接。
其中,第二请求消息用于请求获取PGW的标识,第二请求消息携带UE的用户标识以及无线接入技术指示,无线接入技术指示用于指示UE接入的无线接入技术为非授权频谱接入,该第二请求消息由SeGW在接收到UE的第一请求消息并与UE建立安全通道连接后发送给控制面网元,该第一请求消息用于请求为UE建立PDN连接,该PDN连接包括安全通道连接和会话通道连接
具体的,第一请求消息可以为APN连接请求消息,也可以为PDN连接请求消息,第二请求消息可以为PDN连接建立请求消息。
进一步的,PGW与SeGW之间建立会话通道连接的同时,会为UE分配IP地址,为PDN连接分配隧道,QoS等,并记录此次PDN连接为非授权频谱接入。
可选的,控制面网元基于该用户标识以及无线接入技术指示将PGW的标识发送给SeGW的具体方式可以为:
基于该用户标识获取UE的签约数据,基于签约数据和无线接入技术指示进行APN授权,将授权通过的APN对应的PGW的标识发送给SeGW。
控制面网元在接收到SeGW发送的PDN连接建立请求消息后,可以先对UE请求的APN进行授权,只有授权通过的情况下,才会将其对应的PGW的标识发送给SeGW,SeGW从而完成与PGW之间的会话通道连接的建立,实现了在UE附着归属网络后,如果UE有需求才为UE建立PDN连接,避免对EPC网络的资源占用,从而可以提高EPC网络资源的利用率。
具体实现中,控制面网元基于签约数据和无线接入技术指示进行APN授权的具体方式可以包括以下任意一种:
方式一、
如果第二请求消息携带有UE请求的APN,其中,该请求的APN为无线接入技术指示下的APN,那么控制面网元会判断签约数据中是否包含该无线接入技术指示,如果包含,则确定对请求的APN授权通过;或者,如果不包含,则确定对请求的APN授权不通过;
方式二、
控制面网元会判断签约数据中是否包含该无线接入技术指示,如果包含,则确定对签约数据中的缺省APN授权通过;或者,如果不包含,则确定对签约数据中的缺省APN授权不通过。
可选的,控制面网元将授权通过的APN对应的PGW的标识发送给SeGW的具体方式可以包括以下两种:
方式一、
如果第三请求消息中携带有UE的位置信息,那么控制面网元在对APN授权通过后,可以基于该UE的位置信息,将授权通过的APN对应的PGW中距离UE位置最近的PGW的标识发送给SeGW。
方式二、
控制面网元可以获取各个PGW的负载信息,并在对APN授权通过后,基于各个PGW的负载信息,将授权通过的APN对应的PGW中负载最小的PGW的标识发送给SeGW。
将授权通过的APN对应的PGW中距离UE最近或者负载最小的PGW的标识发送给SeGW,使得SeGW与距离UE最近或者负载最小的PGW建立会话通道连接,从而可以提高网络资源的利用率。
可选的,该方法还可以包括:
控制面网元向SeGW发送指示消息,该指示消息用于指示SeGW反馈与PGW之间的会话通道连接建立结果,控制面网元从而可以接收SeGW在与PGW完成会话通道连接的建立后,发送的会话通道连接的连接信息。
本发明实施例第五方面公开了一种控制面网元,该控制面网元可以包括收发模块和处理模块,可以用于执行第四方面公开的建立PDN连接的方法。

进一步的,本地网络设备还可以为UE分配本地IP地址,UE在接入授权通 过后,还可以接收本地网络设备发送的本地IP地址。
本发明实施例第八方面公开了一种本地网络设备,应用于EPS,本地网络设备接收UE发送的第一请求消息还可以携带SeGW的标识,即第一请求消息的源地址设置为本地网络设备为UE分配的本地IP地址,目的地址为UE收到的SeGW对应的IP地址。

具体实施方式
下面将结合本发明实施例中的附图,对本发明实施例中的技术方案进行清楚、完整地描述,显然,所描述的实施例仅仅是本发明一部分实施例,而不是全部的实施例。基于本发明中的实施例,本领域普通技术人员在没有做出创造性劳动前提下所获得的所有其他实施例,都属于本发明保护的范围。
本发明实施例公开了一种建立PDN连接的方法、相关设备及系统,可以提高EPC网络资源的利用率。以下分别进行详细说明。
为了更好的理解本发明实施例公开的一种建立PDN连接的方法及相关设备,下面先对本发明实施例适用的EPS架构进行描述。请参阅图1,图1是本发明实施例公开的一种EPS架构示意图。在图1所示的系统架构中,包括UE、本地网络和运营商核心网络EPC。其中,UE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它处理设备,以及各种形式的用户设备,移动台(Mobile station,MS),终端(terminal),终端设备(Terminal Equipment)等等。为方便描述,本发明实施例中,上面提到的设备统称为用户设备或UE。
图1所示的系统架构应用于漫游场景,在图1中,本地网络是指第三方部署的网络,区别于运营商网络。本地网络包括非授权频谱无线接入节点(如Wi-Fi接入节点,非授权长期演进计划频谱(Unlicensed Long Term Evolution,LTE-U)接入节点,简称LTE-U接入节点等),本地网络控制面网元以及本地网络用户面网元。其中,LTE-U接入节点是指使用非授权频谱的基站、接入点(Access Point,AP)等;本地网络控制面网元为移动管理实体(Mobility Management Entity,MME)或控制面节点(Control Point,CP);本地网络用户面网元为网关(Gate Way,GW)或用户面节点(User Point,UP)。运营商EPC包括控制面网元、用户面网元、HSS和PGW。其中,控制面网元为MME、验证、授权和记账(Authentication、Authorization、Accounting,AAA)服务器、演进数据网关(Evolved Packet Data Gateway,ePDG)、通用无线分组业务(General Packet Radio Service,GPRS)服务支持节点(Serving GPRS Support Node,SGSN)或CP;用户面网元包括SeGW、服务网关(Serving Gate Way,SGW)或UP,本发明实施例不做限定。
需要说明的是,本发明实施例所提及的本地网络设备即为本地网络控制面网元,而本发明实施例所提及的控制面网元是指运营商EPC的控制面网元,本发明实施例在此不再赘述。
在图1所示的系统架构中,UE从本地网络的非授权频谱接入节点接入归属运营商EPC时,归属运营商EPC需要对UE进行接入授权,即确定是否允许UE从非授权频谱接入节点接入其所属的归属网络,如果归属运营商EPC允许UE从本地网络的非授权频谱接入节点接入,UE通过本地网络可以发起本地业务,也可以发起EPC业务(即归属运营商核心网络业务)。图1所示的系统架构采用了非授权频谱作为新的无线接入技术,从而可以提高系统网络的空口承载能力。
基于图1所示的系统架构,本发明实施例公开了一种建立PDN连接的方法。请参阅图2,图2是本发明实施例公开的一种建立PDN连接的方法的流程示意图。如图2所示,该建立PDN连接的方法可以包括以下步骤:
201、UE通过采用非授权频谱的本地网络发起附着流程。
本发明实施例中,UE初始附着归属网络时,搜索并发现非授权频谱网络,从而向非授权频谱接入节点发送附着请求消息,其中,非授权频谱接入节点可以为LTE-U接入节点、Wi-Fi接入节点等,非授权频谱接入节点将该附着请求消息转发给本地网络设备,本地网络设备依据附着请求消息中携带的归属网络的标识以及网络拓扑结构生成路由信息,从而将附着请求消息路由至归属网络的控制面网元,如MME。本地网络设备在将附着请求消息路由给控制面网元的同时,还会将UE从非授权频谱接入节点接入归属网络的接入信息,如本地网络的特征信息、非授权频谱接入节点的特征信息以及UE的位置信息、当前的时间信息等发送给控制面网元。
其中,本地网络的特征信息包括本地网络使用的安全认证信息,如使用的安全认证方案的标识等,本地网络所属的服务提供商标识,漫游联盟标识,本地网络使用的无线接入技术(Radio Access Technologies,RAT)类型中的至少一种。其中,RAT为非授权频谱接入。非授权频谱接入节点的特征信息包括非授权频谱接入节点的接入模式(如开放模式,封闭模式,混合模式)和安全等 级中的至少一种。
进一步的,控制面网元在接收到UE的附着请求消息以及接入信息后,会存储接入信息,并基于附着请求消息向HSS发送位置更新请求消息,以更新为UE提供服务的控制面网元。同时,控制面网元还会将UE使用的非授权频谱接入的无线接入技术指示识或者本地网络所属的服务提供商标识、漫游联盟标识等发送给HSS,以便HSS基于UE的用户标识(如永久标识)在查找到UE的签约数据后,可以基于UE的签约数据对UE初次进行接入授权,即确定是否允许UE从非授权频谱接入节点(非授权频谱网络)接入归属网络,以及是否允许UE从该服务提供商或者漫游联盟成员部署的非授权频谱网络接入归属网络等。
进一步的,HSS对UE初次进行接入授权通过的情况下,将该UE的签约数据发送给控制面网元,控制面网元从而依据该签约数据对UE再次进行接入授权。如确定当前的时间或地点是否允许UE从该非授权频谱接入节点接入归属网络,非授权频谱接入节点的接入模式或者安全等级是否满足允许UE从非授权频谱接入节点接入归属网络的条件,本地网络是否为可信或者非可信网络,以及归属网络时允许UE从可信网络接入还是允许从非可信网络接入,等等,本发明实施例不做限定。
本发明实施例中,如果上述条件均满足允许UE从非授权频谱接入节点接入归属网络,则表示对UE从非授权频谱接入节点接入归属网络授权成功,即UE附着成功。
此外,控制面网元还会基于签约数据以及本地网络的特征信息判断签约数据中是否存在授权的APN,即判断本地网络的特征信息是否与APN的授权条件匹配,如果匹配,则基于UE的位置信息、网络的负载请求或者签约APN信息选择SeGW,如选择距离UE位置近的SeGW,或者负载较轻的SeGW,或者与签约APN对应的SeGW,从而将SeGW的标识(如SeGW的IP地址、FQDN,或者APN与SeGW之间的对应关系发送给UE。如果本地网络的特征信息与APN的授权条件不匹配,则表示不存在授权APN,控制面网元则不会分配SeGW的标识给UE。
举例来说,假设本地网络为非可信网络,所属的服务提供商为A,控制面网元可以判断签约APN的授权条件中是否允许从非可信网络接入,或者是否允 许从服务提供商A部署的本地网络接入,或者是否允许使用的RAT为非授权频谱接入,等等。如果允许,则确定该签约APN为授权APN,或者确定该签约APN授权通过。
进一步的,控制面网元在对UE授权成功后,还可以基于UE的签约数据生成UE的本地业务策略,从而发送给本地网络设备,本地网络设备即可以通过本地业务策略对UE的本地业务请求进行业务授权。本地网络设备在收到控制面网元发送的接入允许的指示后,会为UE分配本地IP地址,并转发附着回复消息,该附着回复消息携带有归属网络为UE分配的临时标识,为UE分配的SeGW的标识或者授权APN及其对应的SeGW的标识,本发明实施例不做限定。
202、UE在附着成功后,向本地网络设备发送第一请求消息。
本发明实施例中,UE在附着成功(即附着到归属网络的控制面网元)后,如果要发起本地业务,只需向本地网络设备发送本地业务请求,本地网络设备从而可以基于本地业务策略对本地业务请求进行业务授权。如果UE需要发起EPC业务,UE可以向本地网络设备发送第一请求消息。其中,该第一请求消息用于请求为UE建立PDN连接,UE的PDN连接包括UE与SeGW之间的安全通道连接和SeGW与PGW之间的会话通道连接。该第一请求消息可以为PDN连接请求消息,也可以为APN连接请求消息,本发明实施例不做限定。
具体的,UE向本地网络设备发送第一请求消息具体可以是向非授权频谱接入节点发送,通过非授权频谱接入节点转发给本地网络设备。
本发明实施例中,当第一请求消息为APN连接请求消息时,该消息具体可以为IKE_AUTH请求消息,该消息的源地址设置为本地网络设备为UE分配的本地IP地址,目的地址为UE收到的SeGW对应的IP地址。当第一请求消息为PDN连接请求消息时,该消息携带SeGW的标识,如SeGW的IP地址、FQDN等,该消息包括UE与SeGW之间建立安全通道连接相关的网络秘钥交换协议(Internet Key Exchange Protocol Version 2,IKEv2)消息,如IKE_AUTH请求消息或者IKE_SA_INIT消息。
203、本地网络设备将第一请求消息转发给SeGW。
本发明实施例中,当第一请求消息为APN连接请求消息时,本地网络设备在接收到APN连接请求消息后,会基于目的地址将APN连接请求消息路由给对 应的SeGW。当第一请求消息为PDN连接请求消息时,需要本地网络设备支持控制面消息,从PDN连接请求消息中解析出SeGW的IP地址,从而根据IP地址将该PDN连接请求消息发送给对应的SeGW。
204、SeGW接收第一请求消息,获取UE的无线接入技术指示以及UE附着的控制面网元的标识。
本发明实施例中,SeGW接收到第一请求消息,即表明与UE之间的安全通道连接建立成功。进一步的,SeGW在接收到第一请求消息后,会获取UE的无线接入技术指示。其中,该无线接入技术指示用于指示UE接入的RAT为非授权频谱接入。
进一步的,SeGW在接收到第一请求消息后,还会获取UE附着的控制面网元的标识。
具体的,SeGW获取UE附着的控制面网元的标识的具体方式可以有以下几种:
方式一、
本地网络设备在转发第一请求消息的同时,会携带归属网络为UE分配的临时标识,该临时标识中包括UE附着的控制面网元的标识,SeGW在接收到第一请求消息后可以从临时标识中获取UE附着的控制面网元的标识;或者,本地网络设备在转发第一请求消息的同时,直接携带UE附着的控制面网元的标识,SeGW直接从第一请求消息中获取该UE附着的控制面网元的标识。
方式二、
本地网络设备在转发第一请求消息的同时,会携带本地网络设备为UE分配的本地IP地址,SeGW在接收到第一请求消息后,可以向本地网络设备发送用于请求获取UE附着的控制面网元的标识的请求消息,如连接信息请求消息,该消息携带有该本地IP地址。本地网络设备在接收到连接信息请求消息后,会基于UE的本地IP地址查找UE的上下文,从而将UE上下文中包含的UE当前附着的控制面网元的标识通过该连接信息回复消息发送给SeGW。
方式三、
SeGW在接收到第一请求消息后,可以向HSS发送用于请求获取UE附着的控制面网元的标识的请求消息,如更新位置请求消息,该消息包含UE的用户 标识,如永久标识,如IMSI,HSS基于UE的IMSI查找UE的上下文,如果UE已经附着到控制面网元,则HSS会存储当前附着的控制面网元的标识,从而回复更新位置回复消息给SeGW,该消息携带UE附着的控制面网元的标识。
具体的,SeGW获取UE的无线接入技术指示的具体方式可以包括以下两种:
方式一、
本地网络设备在转发第一请求消息的同时,会携带用于指示UE接入的RAT为非授权频谱接入的无线接入技术指示,SeGW在接收到第一请求消息后,可以从第一请求消息中获取该无线接入技术指示。
方式二、
本地网络设备在转发第一请求消息的同时,会携带本地网络的无线接入节点的信息,该信息指示无线接入节点为非授权频谱无线接入节点。因此,SeGW在接收到第一请求消息后,可以根据无线接入节点的信息确定UE接入的RAT为非授权频谱接入,并生成无线接入技术指示。
205、SeGW基于UE附着的控制面网元的标识向控制面网元发送第二请求消息。
本发明实施例中,第二请求消息携带有UE的用户标识以及无线接入技术指示,第二请求消息用于请求获取PGW的标识。其中,该用户标识可以为UE的临时标识或者永久标识,其中,临时标识可以包括UE的设备标识和附着的控制面网元的标识,如MME的标识。
本发明实施例中,SeGW在通过上述途径获取到UE附着的控制面网元的标识后,会向该控制面网元发送第二请求消息,其中,该第二请求消息可以为PDN连接建立请求消息,也可以为鉴权与授权请求消息。
进一步的,第二请求消息中还可以携带本地网络是可信网络还是非可信网络的标识,本地网络的服务提供商标识,漫游联盟标识,等等,本发明实施例不做限定。
206、控制面网元接收第二请求消息,并基于用户标识和无线接入技术指示将PGW的标识发送给SeGW。
具体实现中,控制面网元基于用户标识和无线接入技术指示将PGW的标识发送给SeGW的具体方式可以为:
基于该用户标识获取UE的签约数据,并基于该签约数据和该无线接入技术指示进行APN授权,最后将授权通过的APN对应的数据网关的标识发送给安全网关。
本发明实施例中,控制面网元在接收到第二请求消息后,会基于UE的用户标识,如临时标识查找UE的上下文,从而获取UE的签约数据,并基于签约数据中允许UE接入的RAT的指示来确定是否允许UE从采用非授权频谱的网络接入,如果允许,则对请求的APN或者缺省APN授权通过。如果APN授权通过,控制面网元则为授权通过的APN选择对应的PGW,从而将选择的PGW的标识发送给SeGW。如果APN授权未通过,控制面网元则回复连接拒绝或鉴权与授权失败消息,或连接建立回复或鉴权与授权回复消息中携带失败原因值给SeGW。
需要说明的是,授权通过的APN对应的PGW的标识可以理解为:支持UE请求的APN或者业务类型的PGW的IP地址或者FQDN。SeGW可以是从UE的控制面网元获取,本发明实施例不做限定。
进一步的,控制面网元基于该签约数据和该无线接入技术指示进行APN授权的具体方式可以包括以下任意一种:
方式一、
如果第二请求消息携带有UE请求的APN,其中,该请求的APN为无线接入技术指示下的APN,那么控制面网元会判断签约数据中是否包含该无线接入技术指示,如果包含,则确定对请求的APN授权通过;或者,如果不包含,则确定对请求的APN授权不通过;
方式二、
如果第二请求消息未携带UE请求的APN,那么控制面网元会判断签约数据中是否包含该无线接入技术指示,如果包含,则确定对签约数据中的缺省APN授权通过;或者,如果不包含,则确定对签约数据中的缺省APN授权不通过。
进一步的,如果第二请求消息中携带有UE请求的APN,且第二请求消息携带有本地网络的特征信息,如本地网络是可信网络还是非可信网络,本地网络的服务提供商标识或漫游联盟标识,本地网络使用的安全认证方式等。控制 面网元会基于本地网络的特征信息和签约数据判断上述APN是否可以被授权,即确定本地网络的特征信息是否与请求的APN的授权条件匹配。如果第二请求消息中未携带UE请求的APN,控制面网元可以判断缺省APN是否可以被授权,即基于本地网络的特征信息以及签约数据,确定本地网络的特征是否与缺省APN的授权条件匹配。
举例来说,假设本地网络为可信网络,所属的服务提供商为A,控制面网元可以判断签约数据中签约APN的授权条件是否允许从可信网络接入,或者是否允许从服务提供商A部署的本地网络接入,或者是否允许从使用的RAT为非授权频谱的本地网络接入,控制面网元还可以基于签约数据中签约APN的授权条件判断是否允许UE在当前时刻接入,等等。如果允许,则确定该签约APN为授权APN,或者确定该签约APN授权通过。
作为一种可行的实施方式,控制面网元在对APN授权通过后,还可以将授权通过的APN(包括授权通过的UE请求的APN或者缺省APN)发送给SeGW,以便后续SeGW进行基于授权通过的APN进行控制。
作为另一种可行的实施方式,控制面网元将授权通过的APN对应的PGW的标识发送给SeGW的具体方式可以包括以下至少一种:
方式一、
UE发送的第一请求消息中包括了UE的位置信息,那么SeGW向控制面网元发送的第二请求消息携带有UE的位置信息,那么控制面网元在对APN授权通过后,可以基于该UE的位置信息,将授权通过的APN对应的PGW中距离UE位置最近的PGW的标识发送给SeGW。
方式二、
控制面网元可以获取各个PGW的负载信息,并在对APN授权通过后,基于各个PGW的负载信息,将授权通过的APN对应的PGW中负载最小的PGW的标识发送给SeGW。
作为又一种可行的实施方式,如果控制网元确定UE当前处于移动状态,申请的PDN连接需要移动性,即UE移动时需要保证业务的连续性,那么控制面网元在向SeGW发送PGW的标识的时候,还可以向SeGW发送指示消息,其中,该指示消息用于指示SeGW需要反馈与PGW之间建立的会话通道连接的连 接信息。该指示消息可以是需要反馈ACK needed指示,也可以是支持切换HO supported指示,还可以是业务连续性指示,本发明实施例不做限定。
那么SeGW在接收到该指示消息,并与PGW之间完成了会话通道连接的建立之后,会发送该指示消息的反馈消息,该反馈消息携带有连接信息,或者SeGW向控制面网元发送第三请求消息的回复消息(即PDN连接建立回复消息)中携带有该连接信息。
其中,该连接信息包括PGW为本次PDN连接(或者会话通道连接)分配的隧道标识IEID、UE的IP地址、QoS等中的至少一种。
207、SeGW接收PGW的标识,并基于PGW的标识向该PGW发送第三请求消息。
本发明实施例中,SeGW在获取到PGW的标识后,可以基于该PGW的标识向对应的PGW发送第三请求消息。其中,第三请求消息可以是会话建立请求消息,用于请求建立与PGW之间的会话通道连接。
进一步的,SeGW在发送会话建立请求消息的同时,还会将UE的RAT类型设置为非授权频谱接入,从而将其同会话建立请求消息发送给PGW。SeGW还会为会话通道连接分配带宽,QoS参数等。
208、PGW接收第三请求消息,并与SeGW之间建立会话通道连接。
本发明实施例中,PGW在接收到第二请求消息后,会与SeGW之间建立会话通道连接。同时PGW会为UE分配IP地址,为PDN连接分配隧道,QoS参数等,并记录此次PDN连接为非授权频谱接入。
209、在会话通道连接建立成功后,SeGW接收PGW基于第三请求消息与SeGW建立会话通道连接的响应。
210、SeGW向UE回复第一请求消息的响应消息。
本发明实施例中,在PGW与SeGW之间完成会话通道连接建立之后,SeGW会向UE回复IKE_AUTH回复消息,从而完成了UE与SeGW之间安全通道连接的建立,从而完成了UE的PDN连接。
本发明实施例中,归属网络侧(控制面网元以及PGW)为UE建立PDN连接成功后,SeGW向UE回复第一请求消息的响应消息。
具体的,SeGW与UE之间可以直接通过IKEv2消息交互,也可以回复PDN 连接回复消息给本地网络设备,由本地网络设备转发给UE。其中,该PDN连接回复消息包含IKE_AUTH回复消息。
可见,在图2所描述的方法中,EPS系统可以实现UE从非授权频谱接入节点附着归属网络的接入授权,UE并在有EPC业务需求时,主动触发PDN连接建立流程,从而可以在UE附着归属网络后在UE有需求的情况下才为UE建立PDN连接,避免对EPC网络的资源占用,从而可以提高EPC网络资源的利用率。进一步的,在为UE建立PDN连接过程中,UE直接与SeGW建立安全通道,然后由SeGW去找控制面网元,这样UE与SeGW之间可以采用安全通道进行通信,第三方部署的本地网络对通信内容不可见,从而实现了对运营商业务的保护。

SeGW703基于授权通过APN对应的PGW705的标识向PGW705发送第三请求消息,第三请求消息携带有无线接入技术指示。SeGW703会接收到PGW基于第三请求消息与SeGW703建立会话通道连接的响应。PGW705与SeGW703完成会话通道连接的建立,并为UE701分配IP地址以及记录UE701的PDN连接 为非授权频谱接入。至此,SeGW703回复APN连接回复消息给UE,从而完成了对UE701的PDN连接。
当为UE701完成PDN连接的建立后,SeGW703与UE701之间可以通过建立的安全连接通道进行通信。
可见,在图7所描述的系统中,可以实现UE从非授权频谱附着归属网络的接入授权,UE并在有EPC业务需求时,主动触发PDN连接建立流程,从而可以在UE附着归属网络后在UE有需求的情况下才为UE建立PDN连接,避免对EPC网络的资源占用,从而可以提高EPC网络资源的利用率。进一步的,在为UE建立PDN连接过程中,UE直接与SeGW建立安全通道,然后由SeGW去找控制面网元,这样UE与SeGW之间可以采用进行安全通道进行通信,第三方部署的本地网络对通信内容不可见,从而实现了对运营商业务的保护。
