Description

Method, device and storage medium for implementing link connection processing

Cross-reference to related applications

The present application is based on a Chinese patent application filed on Jan. 23, 2017, the filing date of which is hereby incorporated by reference.

Technical field

This document relates to, but is not limited to, data transmission technology, and more particularly to a method, device and computer storage medium for implementing link connection processing.

Background technique

With the development of technology, more and more news services have evolved from traditional SMS and MMS services to new services such as WeChat and Rich Communication Suite (RCS). In the new messaging business, group chat has very much Common application scenarios, such as classmates, co-workers, and interest groups, are also developed by the ten populations to hundreds of people and thousands of people.

Currently, the RCS group chat is implemented by the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) and the Message Session Relay Protocol (MSRP). Including: Controlling the MSRP channel through SIP (such as creating, maintaining, and revoking, etc.), data channel created by MSRP, and data transmission. When the related art performs data transmission processing, each active group on the terminal needs to maintain a logical link of MSRP with the server to which the terminal belongs, and the logical link of the MSRP is based on the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP). Physical link implementation.

A TCP physical link (referred to as a TCP link) is a scarce resource. The establishment of a TCP link between two network elements requires a quad group, that is, a protocol (IP), a client port (PORT), a server IP, and a server PORT that are interconnected between client networks; The value ranges from 1-65535. Therefore, in the case where the client IP and the server IP are fixed, the link resources are fixed. Exceeding this limit, IP resources need to be applied, and the IP resources are limited.

In the related implementation of the RCS, the logical link of the MSRP is bound to the TCP link (physical link), and each MSRP logical link corresponds to a TCP link, that is, the number of active groups on the terminal, and the terminal and The number of TCP links established between the application servers to which they belong is the same. The link involves the network element including the terminal and the intermediate network element (such as the Session Border Controller (SBC) and the Instant Messaging Application Server (IMAS). Instant Message Application Server, and GCAS Group Chat Application Server, etc., as the number of group users expands, the contradiction between the growing number of groups and limited link resources becomes more and more obvious. The technology is clearly understood. The following describes the related technology by using an example. FIG. 1 is a flowchart of a method for performing link connection processing by an RCS in the related art, as shown in FIG.

Step 100: When the first active group exists in the message service, the client sends a first request (INVITE) message; the first request message carries information: the link establishment mode is the sender as the client, and the local first IP address ( P_C_1), local first port (PORT_C_1), and client first logical link identifier (SESIONID_C_1);

Step 101: The server receives the first request message, and returns a first 202 response message. The first 202 response message carries: the link establishment mode is the server as the receiver, the server IP address IP_S, the server port PORT_S, and The first logical link identifier (SESIONID_S_1) of the server; wherein the IP and PORT of the server are fixed;

Step 102: The client receives the first 202 response message, and returns a first acknowledgement message (ACK).

Step 103: The client establishes a first TCP link (TCP1) to the server IP address (IP_S) and the server port (PORT_S) by using the local first IP address (P_C_1) and the local first port (PORT_C_1);

Step 104: The client sends a first hello message (HELLO) message of the MSRP by using the first TCP link. The first HELLO message carries the first logical link identifier of the client and the first logical link identifier of the server.

Step 105: The server sends a first HELLO message on the first TCP link TCP1 receiving client, and the first logical link identifier of the client and the first logical link identifier of the server are associated with the first TCP link to form a first a logical link, the identifier of the first logical link is SESSION_1;

Through the steps 100 to 105, the client and the server establish an MSRP logical link, that is, the first logical link, the first logical link identifier is SESSION_1, and the first logical link is identified by the first logical link of the client. And the server first logical link identifier is associated with the established first TCP link, and the message of the subsequent first logical link is sent and received through the first TCP link (physical link).

Step 106: When the second active group exists in the message service, the client sends a second request message; the second request message carries: the link establishment mode is the sender as the client, the local second IP address (IP_C_2), and the local number Two ports (PORT_C_2), and a second logical link identifier of the client;

Step 107: The server receives the second request message, and returns a second 202 response message. The second 202 response message carries: the link establishment mode is the receiver, the server IP address, the server port, and the server second. Logical link identifier; wherein the IP and PORT of the server are fixed;

Step 108: The client receives the second 202 response message, and returns a second ACK.

Step 109: The client establishes a second TCP link to the server IP_S and the PORT_S by using the local second IP address and the local second port. The IP_C_1 and PORT_C_1 dual groups are not completely consistent with the IP_C_2 and PORT_C_2 binary groups.

Step 110: The client sends a second HELLO message of the MSRP by using the second TCP link, where the second HELLO message carries the second logical link identifier of the client and the second logical link identifier of the server.

Step 111: The server receives the second HELLO message sent by the client on the second TCP link, and associates the second logical link identifier of the client with the second logical link identifier of the server to establish a relationship with the second TCP link. The second logical link is identified by SESSION_2. Preferably, SESSION_2 is the second logical link identifier of the client and the second logical link identifier of the server;

Steps 106 to 111, the client and the server establish another MSRP logical link, that is, the second logical link, the second logical link identifier is SESSION_2, and the second logical link is the client second logical link. The identifier is associated with the second TCP link established by the server second logical link identifier, and the message of the subsequent second logical link is sent and received through the second TCP link (physical link).

Step 112: The client sends a message by using the first logical link, including: finding the associated first TCP link according to SESSION_1, sending the message by using the first TCP link, and carrying the logical link identifier SESSION_1 of the first logical link. The logical link identifier of the first logical link includes at least a first logical link identifier of the client and a first logical link identifier of the server.

Step 113: The server receives the message through the first TCP link, determines that the logical link identifier is the identifier SESSION_1 of the first logical link, and delivers the service corresponding to the SESSION_1 for processing.

Step 114: The client sends the message by using the second logical link, including: finding the associated second TCP link according to SESSION_2, sending the message by using the second TCP link, and carrying the logical link identifier SESSION_2 of the second logical link. The logical link identifier of the second logical link includes at least a second logical link identifier of the client and a second logical link identifier of the server.

Step 115: The server receives the message on the second TCP link, determines that the logical link identifier is the identifier SESSION_2 of the second logical link, and delivers the service corresponding to the SESSION_2 for processing.

In the related art, the RCS system includes: User Equipment (UE, User Equipment), Instant Messenger Application Server (IMAS), Group Chat Application Server (GCAS), and Session Border Controller (SBC). Session Border Controller); among them,

The UE is responsible for initiating or receiving the chat message of the group chat, and may include: a mobile phone, a tablet (PAD), and the like.

The IMAS is responsible for sending and receiving chat messages transmitted between different user equipments. Specifically, the IMAS sends a chat message to an application server (AS) to which the group chat UE belongs, and sends a chat message to the group-owned GCAS according to the group chat identifier (group ID).

The GCAS receives the chat message sent by the AS corresponding to the UE that sends the chat message, queries the corresponding group member according to the group ID, and sends the chat message to the AS to which the UE of the group member of each session belongs.

The SBC is an important network node in the IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) network, which is located at the boundary of the IMS network and connects user equipment to the IMS core network.

In the RCS system, the client and the server are relatively speaking, for example, between the UE and the SBC, the UE is the client, and the SBC is the server; between the SBC and the IMAS, the server and the client can be determined through negotiation. The situation is as follows: the SBC is the client and the IMAS is the server; between the IMAS and the GCAS, the server and the client can be determined through negotiation. Generally, the IMAS is the client and the GCAS is the server.

2 is a schematic diagram of a network structure for establishing a TCP link in the related art. As shown in FIG. 2, when the group 1, the group 2, the group N on the user equipment 1 (UE1) are in an active state, for each active group, N TCP links will be established between the UE and the SBC, between the SBC and the IMAS, and between the IMAS and the GCAS. That is, the TCP link between the UE and the SBC, the TCP link between the SBC and the IMAS, and the TCP link between the IMAS and the GCAS are respectively established for the group 1; between the UE and the SBC, between the SBC and the IMAS, and between the IMAS and the The TCP links established between GCAS are different TCP links; similarly, for Group 2, a TCP link between the corresponding UE and the SBC, between the SBC and the IMAS, and between the IMAS and the GCAS needs to be established.

In summary, each active group needs to maintain a logical link between the UE and the SBC, between the SBC and the IMAS, and between the IMAS and the GCAS. Each logical link needs to correspond to a TCP link. The number of TCP links is associated with the number of active groups on the UE. As the number of active groups on the UE increases, the number of TCP links also increases, which greatly consumes TCP link resources.

Step 701: The server receives the first request message, and returns a first 202 response message. The first 202 response message carries: the link establishment mode is the server as the receiver, the server IP address IP_S, the server port PORT_S, and The first logical link identifier of the server is SESIONID_S_1; wherein the IP address and the PORT of the server are fixed;

Step 702: The client receives the first 202 response message, and returns a first acknowledgement message (ACK).

Step 703, the client uses the local first IP address P_C_1 and the local first port PORT_C_1 to establish a first TCP link TCP1 to the server IP address IP_S and the server port PORT_S;

Step 704, the client uses the first TCP link TCP1, sends a first hello (HELLO) message of the MSRP, the first HELLO message carries the first logical link identifier SESIONID_C_1 of the client and the first logical link identifier SESIONID_S_1 of the server;

Step 705: The server sends a first HELLO message on the first TCP link TCP1 receiving client, and the client first logical link identifier SESIONID_C_1 and the server first logical link identifier SESIONID_S_1 are associated with the first TCP link TCP1. Forming a first logical link, the identifier of the first logical link is SESSION_1;

Steps 700 to 705, the client and the server establish an MSRP logical link, that is, the first logical link, the logical link identifier is SESSION_1, and the first logical link identifies the SESIONID_C_1 with the first logical link of the client. The server first logical link identifier SESIONID_S_1 is associated with the established first TCP link TCP1, and the subsequent first logical link message is sent and received through the first TCP link TCP1.

Step 706: When the second active group exists in the message service, the client sends a second request message. The second request message carries: the link establishment mode is the sender as the client, the local second IP address IP_C_2, and the local second port. PORT_C_2, and the second logical link identifier of the client SESIONID_C_2;

Step 707: The server receives the second request message, and returns a second 202 response message. The second 202 response message carries: the link establishment mode is the server as the receiver, the server IP address IP_S, the server port PORT_S, and the server. The second logical link identifies SESIONID_S_2; wherein the IP and PORT of the server are fixed;

Step 708: The client receives the second 202 response message, and returns a second ACK.

Step 709: The client determines whether there is a server IP address of the server is IP_S and the first TCP link TCP1 of the server port is PORT_S; if the first TCP link TCP1 does not exist, steps 703-705 are performed; TCP link TCP1, step 710 is performed;

Step 710: The client sends a second HELLO message of the MSRP by using the first TCP link TCP1, where the second HELLO message carries the second logical link identifier SESIONID_C_2 of the client and the second logical link identifier SESIONID_S_2 of the server.

Step 711: The server receives the second HELLO message sent by the client on the first TCP link TCP1, and the second logical link identifier SESIONID_C_2 of the client and the second logical link identifier SESIONID_S_2 of the server are established with the first TCP link TCP1. Correlation, forming a second logical link, and the identifier of the second logical link is SESSION_2;

Step 706 to step 711, the client and the server establish another MSRP logical link, that is, the second logical link, the logical link identifier is SESSION_2, and the second logical link identifies the SESIONID_C_2 by the second logical link of the client. And the server second logical link identifier SESIONID_S_2 is associated with the established first TCP link TCP1, and the message of the subsequent second logical link is sent and received through the first TCP link TCP1.

Step 712: The client sends the message by using the first logical link. The method includes: finding the associated first TCP link TCP1 according to the logical link identifier SESSION_1 of the first logical link, and sending the message by using the first TCP link TCP1. The logical link identifier SESSION_1 carrying the first logical link, the logical link identifier of the first logical link includes at least a client first logical link identifier SESIONID_C_1 and a server first logical link SESIONID_S_1;
