图3a描述了根据AMF路由表进行AMF负荷迁移的方法流程图。在AMF1需要关机或缩容,或者AMF2需要扩容等场景下,AMF1需要进行负荷迁移,将AMF1上注册的所有UE迁移到AMF2(如表一和表二所示),或将AMF1上注册的部分UE迁移到其它的AMF上(如表三和表四中所示)。图3a中,假设RAN中已经保存如表一所示的AMF路由表,AMF1需要关机,发起到AMF2的负荷迁移。
需要说明的是,当负荷迁移的流程中有O&M参与时,比如由O&M确定要迁移的原AMF和目标AMF,及要迁移的AMF1的AMF ID,则图3中所描述的AMF1的部分功能还可以由O&M来实现,比如302步骤中,可以由O&M将要迁移的AMF ID发送给AMF2,303步骤中,可以由O&M将更新后的路由信息发送给RAN的功能,具体流程如图3b所示。
在303a3步骤,O&M向RAN发送AMF路由信息,AMF路由信息的具体描述可以参见图3a中步骤303的描述。
图3b中的301步骤-306步骤与图3a中301步骤-306步骤大致相同,不同的地方在于,在图3b中,由于O&M在301a2步骤中已经向AMF2发送了要迁移的AMF1的AMF ID,因此AMF1在302消息中只需要传递要迁移的UE的上下文;另外,由于O&M在303a3步骤中向RAN发送了AMF路由信息,AMF1不再需要向RAN发送AMF路由信息。
图3a和图3b中,AMF1和AMF2间直接进行UE上下文信息的传递,现网实际部署中,也可以采用AMF1先将UE的上下文信息保存在具备数据存储功能的设备中,然后AMF2再到该数据存储设备中获取UE上下文的方式。
图4给出了一种AMF1和AMF2间采用UDSF(Unstructured Data Storage Function,非结构化数据存储功能)传递UE上下文信息的负荷迁移流程图。图4所描述的业务场景和对系统的前提假设与上面图3所述的实施例相同,下面仅对图4所示流程图中与图3a所示不同的部分,与图3a相同的部分不再赘述。
如上图3a和图4描述了AMF在进行负荷迁移时,如何使用AMF路由表保证UE上行消息正常处理的消息流程。本申请实施例所提出的AMF路由表进行负荷迁移的方案同样可以 保证AMF在进行负荷迁移后,UE的下行业务或下行消息不受影响。
基于图3a所述的业务场景和5G核心网配置,图5描述了AMF如何更新SMF中的上下文,以便在收到与UE有关的下行消息时,SMF能找到正确的AMF。图5以AMF关机需要进行负荷迁移为例,但方法流程同样适用于AMF缩容,扩容等其它业务场景触发的负荷迁移。
图8给出了上述实施例中所涉及的RAN的可能的结构示意图,包括接收器801,处理器802,存储器803以及通信模块804。所述接收器801用于支持与上述实施例中的所述的UE之间收发信息。所述处理器802执行各种用于与UE通信的功能。在上行链路,来自所述UE的上行链路信号经由天线接收,由接收器801进行调解,并进一步由处理器802进行处理来恢复UE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802进行处理,并由发射器801进行调解来产生下行链路信号,并经由天线发射给UE。处理器802还执行图3a至图5中涉及RAN的处理过程和/或用于本申请所描述的技术的其他过程。存储器803用于存储基站的程序代码和数据(如AMF路由信息和UE的上下文信息)。通信模块804用于支持RAN与其他网络实体进行通信。例如,用于支持RAN与图1中示出的接入管理实体间进行通信,例如5G核心网中的AMF。
