Description

提升业务可靠性的方法、设备及系统 技术领域
本申请涉及通信技术领域,尤其涉及提升业务可靠性的方法、设备及系统。
背景技术
为了应对无线宽带技术的挑战,保持第三代合作伙伴计划(3rd generation partnership project,3GPP)网络的领先优势,3GPP标准组在2016年底制定了下一代移动通信系统(next generation system)网络架构,称为第五代(5rd generation,5G)网络架构。
5G网络架构中定义了极高可靠性低时延通信(ultra-reliable low latency communication,URLLC)场景,主要包括如无人驾驶、工业自动化等需要低时延、高可靠连接的业务。5G网络的先进空口技术和优化的核心网络架构,使得上述场景的要求成为可能。但是移动网络自身不管是底层链路还是上层路由协议等均存在一定的不稳定性,而上述场景多为生命安全或生产安全相关的业务,因此容不得差错。因此我们需要给出优化的网络方案,使得网络即便在链路质量不好的情况下,仍能够尽可能的满足上述要求。

从核心网侧来说,核心网可以同时通过所述至少两条传输路径向终端下发相同的业务数据(双发或双播);也可以同时通过所述至少两条传输路径接收终端发送的相同的业务数据并进行去重处理(双收);
从终端侧来说,终端通过所述至少两条传输路径接收核心网发送的业务数据并进行去重处理(双收);也可以同时通过所述至少两条传输路径向核心网发送相同的业务数据(双发或双播)。
下面以两条传输路径为例,对核心网侧和终端侧对数据的发送和接收机制说明如下:
本发明实施例可以通过在用户终端(user equipment,UE)和核心网的用户面功能实体上增加一个协议栈来实现方法S300中描述的双发和双收功能,参考图4所示,可以看到,用户终端和核心网的用户面功能实体通过两条传输路径实现了数据传输,并各自通过协议栈进行了双发和双收处理。其中,NCP为Network Control Protocol,即网络控制协议,第一传输路径(Path1)和第二传输路径(Path2)可以同是3GPP通路,也可以是3GPP和Non-3GPP通路。
图4示意了数据流走向,而收发侧的双发和双收机制,还可以参考图5,可以看到,在用户终端UE处,APP需要发送的报文会通过本地总线等方式发往手机的基带芯片,基带芯片收到上层的业务报文,执行报文复制,并给报文打上序列号和NCP ID,然后通过Path1和Path2发送出去。用户面功能实体侧接收到报文后,去除path1和path2相关的协议头,根据NCP ID和序列号进行去重,然后将数据包发送至数据网络(Data Network,DN)。
从图5的收侧可以看到,第一传输路径(path1)在传输过程中,序号为2的数据包丢失,由于采用了主备传输路径机制,在数据接收的时候,系统可以从第二传输路径中获得丢失的序号为2的数据包,提高了数据接收的质量和可靠性。
对于已经建立好的两条传输路径,例如图5所示,从接收侧来说,也可以根据数据传输质量和/或者链路质量,选择其中一条进行接收(择一方式),而不必执行去重操作。例如,网络侧或者终端周期性采样监测两条传输路径的数据传输质量,根据质量的动态变化,及时选择传输质量较高或者更加符合当前业务需求(最稳定或者速度最快)的传输路径来接收数据,相比去重的方式,择一的方式可以减轻接收侧的去重处理负担。
本发明实施例的提升业务可靠性的方法,通过为同一个终端建立到核心网的至少两条传输路径,在两条传输路径上能够同时传输相同的业务数据,并进一步通过在收发侧采用 双发和双收机制,实现了高可靠性的数据传输。
下面结合具体的应用场景,以两条传输路径为例进行说明,实施例中两条传输路径称为第一传输路径和第二传输路径,或者称为主传输路径和备份传输路径(主备路径),本实施例并不限定主备路径和第一第二传输路径的对应关系,即第一或第二传输路径可以互为主备传输路径。
方法S600,参考附图6,同时发起建立两条传输路径步骤介绍如下:
S601.当终端或者核心网的策略功能实体要保证高可靠业务的数据传输时,给会话功能实体发送高可靠性传输路径建立请求;
S602.会话功能实体确定需要建立终端与用户面功能实体之间两条传输路径,即第一传输路径和第二传输路径;
S603.会话功能实体发起第一传输路径和第二传输路径的建立,将两条传输路径的标识以及关联关系通知到接入设备以及用户终端,实现两条传输路径的建立;
具体的,通过接入设备实现两条传输路径的建立,可有两种方式:
第一种:会话功能实体分别通过第一接入设备和第二接入设备,建立第一传输路径和第二传输路径;具体可以包括:
S6031.通知第一接入设备,建立第一传输路径,第一传输路径的建立为现有技术,在此不再赘述;
S6032.通知第二接入设备,通知内容包括:第一传输路径标识,第二传输路径标识,关联标识;建立第二传输路径;
S6033.通知核心网的用户面功能实体,通知内容包括:第一第二传输路径资源,第一第二传输路径标识信息,关联标识,完成两条传输路径的建立。
本实施例由核心网分别发起建立两条传输路径,负责承载两条传输路径的接入设备之间可以没有交互,这种方式既可以实现3GPP接入设备分别承载两条传输路径,也可以实现3GPP和非3GPP接入设备分别承载两条传输路径。需要说明的是,第一接入设备和第二接入设备在实现上可以是同一个接入设备(如同一个基站),但是从增加可靠性的角度考虑,两个接入设备分别由不同接入设备实现,甚至由3GPP和非3GPP接入设备分别实现,能更好的提升数据传输的可靠性或者鲁棒性。
第二种:核心网通过第一接入设备,通知第二接入设备建立第二传输路径;
S603a.会话功能实体通知第一接入设备与终端交互建立的第一传输路径(此为现有技术,不再赘述);进一步的,会话功能实体还通知第一接入设备,由该第一接入设备通知第二接入设备和终端交互(交互信息包括第一传输路径标识,第二传输路径标识,备份标识),建立第二传输路径。
S603b.通知用户面功能实体,通知内容包括:第一第二传输路径资源,第一第二传输路径标识信息,关联标识,完成两条传输路径的建立。
本实施例中,第一接入设备在收到建立第二传输路径的请求后,触发第二接入设备和终端建立所述第二传输路径,这种实施方式对网络改动较小,更容易与现存网络兼容。
会话功能实体通过关联标识,通知所述终端或用户面功能实体将第一和第二传输路径进行关联,所述关联包括:所述用户面功能实体或者终端在所述第一和第二传输路径上分别发送相同的数据;或者,所述用户面功能实体或者终端对从所述第一和第二传输路径上 收到的数据进行去重,或者所述终端从所述第一和第二传输路径中选择一条传输路径来接收数据。
对于终端来说,会话功能实体一般在第二传输路径的建立请求中包含关联标签,通过关联标签(或者备份标签)指示终端将两个传输路径进行关联(或绑定)。
对于核心网侧的用户面功能实体来说,会话功能实体可以在收到第二个传输路径建立完成的响应消息后,通知用户面功能实体将两个传输路径进行关联(或绑定),具体可以是在通知消息中携带关联标签(或者备份标签)和第一,第二传输路径的标识。
另外,步骤603中,会话功能实体在发起两条传输路径建立时,还可以进一步通知用户面功能实体或者终端开启双发和/或双收功能,具体可以是在会话功能实体发送第一和/或第二传输路径建立通知消息时携带上述开启双发和/或双收功能的指示,本发明实施例不做限定。
S604.如果会话功能实体通知用户面功能实体或者终端进行双发和/或双收,则用户面功能实体或者终端即可以利用已经关联了的第一和第二传输路径分别传输相同的数据。
会话功能实体可以在发起建立第一和第二传输路径的时候即通知用户面功能实体或者终端进行双发和/或双收;也可以在两条传输路径建立好了以后,再根据网络或者业务情况通知用户面功能实体或者终端利用建立好的两条传输路径实际进行双发和/或双收。
通过本发明实施例S600的方法,在初始阶段即在终端和网络侧之间建立两条传输路径用来传输相同的业务数据,提高了数据传输的可靠性。
方法S700:参考附图7,当前终端和核心网用户面功能实体用户面功能实体之间已存在一条传输路径,仍需要建立新的传输路径;
S701.当终端或者网络侧需要提升传输的QoS需求时,给会话功能实体发送QoS提升请求;
具体的,终端此时和网络侧已经存在一条传输路径,或者可选的,已经通过第一传输路径进行业务数据传输了,但由于业务需求变更或者网络状况的变化等情况,需要提升传输质量或者保持传输的质量不下降,因此,需要请求会话功能实体提升QoS。另外,终端或者网络侧网元,如策略功能实体或者用户名功能实体,也可以直接给会话功能实体发送请求,请求建立第二传输路径(备份路径)。
S702.会话功能实体确定需要建立终端与用户面功能实体之间的第二传输路径;
会话功能实体可以根据业务的QoS要求和/或本地网络负载情况决策建立第二传输路径,会话功能实体还可以进一步向策略功能实体请求授权,策略功能实体决策可以为该业务建立第二传输路径,发送响应给会话功能实体。另外,会话功能实体也可以根据收到的第二传输路径建立请求,直接发起建立第二传输路径。
S703.会话功能实体发起第二传输路径的建立,具体的,通过接入设备实现第二传输路径的建立,可以有两种方式:
第一种:第一传输路径已经由核心网通过第一接入设备建立好了,此时核心网通过第二接入设备,建立第二传输路径;
S7031.通知第二接入设备,通知内容包括:第一传输路径标识,第二传输路径标识,关联标识,建立第二传输路径。
S7032.通知用户面功能实体,包括第二传输路径资源,第一路径标识信息,关联 标识,完成用户面功能实体侧第二传输路径建立。
核心网发起建立一条新的传输路径(第二传输路径),负责承载两条传输路径的接入设备之间可以没有交互,这种方式既可以实现3GPP接入设备分别承载两条传输路径,也可以实现3GPP和非3GPP接入设备分别承载两条传输路径。需要说明的是,第一接入设备和第二接入设备在实现上可以是同一个接入设备(如同一个基站)。
第二种:核心网通过第一接入设备,通知第二接入设备建立第二传输路径;
S703a.通知第一接入设备,包括第一传输路径标识,第二传输路径标识,关联标识。第一接入设备通知终端和第二接入设备,建立第二传输路径(备份路径);
S703b.通知用户面功能实体UPF,包括第二传输路径资源,第一传输路径标识信息,关联标识,完成用户面功能实体侧第二传输路径的建立;
由第一接入设备在收到建立第二传输路径的请求后,通知终端和第二接入设备建立第二传输路径,对网络改动较小,更容易与现存网络兼容。
会话功能实体可以在发起建立第二传输路径时,通知所述终端或用户面功能实体将第一和第二传输路径进行关联,所述关联包括:所述用户面功能实体或者终端在所述第一和第二传输路径上分别发送相同的数据;或者,所述用户面功能实体或者终端对从所述第一和第二传输路径上收到的数据进行去重,或者从所述第一和第二传输路径中选择一条传输路径来接收数据。
对于终端来说,会话功能实体在第二传输路径的建立请求中包含关联标签,通过关联标签指示终端将两个传输路径进行关联(或绑定)。对于核心网侧的用户面功能实体来说,会话功能实体可以在收到第二传输路径建立完成的响应消息后,通知用户面功能实体将两个传输路径进行关联(或绑定)。
另外,步骤703中,会话功能实体在发起主备传输路径建立时,还可以进一步通知用户面功能实体或者终端开始进行双发和/或双收,具体可以是在会话功能实体发送第二传输路径建立通知消息时携带上述双发和/或双收的指示,本发明实施例不做限定。
S704.如果会话功能实体通知用户面功能实体或者终端进行双发和/或双收,则用户面功能实体或者终端即可以利用已经关联了的第一和第二传输路径分别传输相同的数据。
通过本发明实施例S700的方法,在当前已经存在第一传输路径,或者第一传输路径已经在进行数据传输的情况下,终端或者网络侧根据业务需要或者网络情况变化等,发起建立第二传输路径,可以与第一传输路径一起传输同样的业务数据,从而提高了数据传输的可靠性和灵活性,由于两条传输路径并不需要一开始就同时建立,节省终端和网络侧的处理负担和网络资源,增加了灵活性。
前述提高业务可靠性的系统10,通信装置200,方法S300,图4,图5示意的收发侧的双发和双收机制,方法S600和S700,都可以应用于当前的4G,4.5G或者5G网络以及未来其它的网络中,例如上述的会话功能实体可以是5G中的SMF(Session Management Function,会话管理功能)或者4G中的PGW(PDN Gataway,分组数据网关):策略功能实体可以是5G中的PCF(Policy Control Function,策略控制功能)或者4G中的PCRF(Policy and Charging Rules Function,策略与计费规则功能):用户面功能实体可以是5G中的UPF(User Plane Function,用户面功能)或者4G中的GW-U(Gateway User plane function,网关用户面功能)。
前述的系统,通信装置和方法应用于5G网络,可能的适用架构包括图8A和图8B所示的架构。图8A中,UE仅通过3GPP接入设备接入网络,图8B中UE通过3GPP接入设备和Non-3GPP接入设备同时接入网络,需要说明的是图8A和图8B所示的两种架构中,将UE接入网络的接入设备和AMF均有控制面连接存在。
对图8A,8B中涉及的主要网元名称和功能描述简要介绍如下表一所示:
Figure PCTCN2017108396-appb-000001
表一
需要说明的是,QoS流是5G中区分QoS的最小粒度,一个QoS流内,所有的业务流使用相同的转发处理,包括调度策略,队列管理,流量整形,资源配置。要提供不同的QoS处理,需使用不同的QoS流,一条传输路径和一个QoS流对应。
参考图9,是基于图8A,8B的架构基础上的第一和第二传输路径(主备路径)的建立流程,通过在初始阶段即分别建立主备路径,可以确保高可靠性要求的业务(如URLLC业务)除了主路径之外,还可以有一条备份路径可用。实施例900步骤具体说明如下:
S901.主备传输路径建立决策。可以分为以下几种情况:
a.UE发送业务请求至SMF,包含QoS参数,主备路径建立指示(可选)等;SMF根据UE的类型(例如,UE是URLLC终端),QoS需求等,并参考网络负荷情况,以及主备路径指示标签(可选),决策为UE的所述业务需求建立主备QoS流。
b.SMF收到UE的业务请求后,还可以进一步向PCF请求授权,即向PCF发送主备路径建立请求,请求消息携带QoS参数,如5QI(5G QoS indicator,5G QoS标签,或者具体QoS需求;PCF根据UE签约信息和QoS参数,决策可以授权SMF为UE建立主备路径,PCF向SMF发送主备路径建立应答消息,所述消息指示SMF可以为UE的所述业务请求建立主备路径。
c.PCF向SMF发送业务请求,包括QoS参数和主备路径指示(可选,PCF收到DN的业务请求后,根据QoS参数和UE签约信息决策需要为该业务建立主备路径,此种情况可以携带主备路径指示标签)等;SMF根据UE的类型(URLLC终端),QoS需求等,并参考网络负荷情况,以及主备路径指示标签(可选),决策为UE的所述业务需求建立主备QoS流(或者直接按照PCF的主备路径建立指示为UE建立主备路径)。
S902.SMF发起建立所述主备路径,包括:SMF分配主备QoS流用户面资源,主要包 括主备QoS流的QFI(QoS flow identity,QoS流标识),数据包检测与计费规则等。具体如下:分配主备QoS流对应的QFI等QoS流相关资源{例如,PCC(Policy Charging Control,策略计费控制)规则等}。两条QoS流的计费或者QoS策略可以相同,也可不同(例如可以不再对第二QoS流进行计费),本实施例不做限制。
SMF此时还可以根据URLLC业务类型和/或终端类型,决策是否通知UPF和/或UE开启双传输(双发和/或双收)功能。
具体包括:
●若URLLC终端为高移动终端(通过QoS参数,业务类型等和终端类型体现),则表示其网路存在较大不稳定性,SMF在下发主备路径建立通知消息时携带双传输指示通知,指示UPF和UE进行双传输。
●若URLLC终端为低移动终端,则表示其网络路径相对稳定,则只为其建立主备路径,后续在需要时再开启双传输。
S903.SMF给AMF发送主备QoS流创建请求,所述请求消息携带:主备QoS流QFI,PDU Session ID(主备QoS流若位于不同的PDU会话,则需要携带两个PDU Session ID),TFT,QoS,备份标签,双传输指示(可选)等;
备份标签用于指示两条QoS流之间的关系,可以称为主备关系,关联(associated)关系或者绑定关系,UE或者UPF可以根据该备份标签,确定可以分别在两条QoS流上传输相同的数据。
S904-906.AMF收到SMF发来的主备QoS流建立请求,给第一接入设备发送QoS流建立请求,所述请求消息携带PDU Session ID,和QoS规则等;第一接入设备收到QoS流建立请求时,将QoS规则映射为radio QoS规则,发送无线重配置信息给UE,完成第一QoS流建立;第一接入设备给AMF发送QoS流建立应答消息,通知AMF,第一QoS流无线侧建立完成;
S907.AMF发起备份QoS建立流程。AMF给第二接入设备发送QoS流创建请求消息,所述请求消息携带:第一QoS流QFI,PDU Session ID,第二QoS流QFI,PDU Session ID(可与第一QoS流所在的PDU Session ID相同,也可不同,不做限制),备份标签,双传输指示(可选),QoS等;
S908.第二接入设备收到备份QoS流创建请求,将QoS规则映射为radio QoS规则,发送无线重配置信息给UE,完成第二QoS流建立;
需要说明的是,第一和第二QoS流的建立顺序可以不受限制。
UE侧根据备份标签和第一QoS流标识(QFI,PDU Session ID)和第二QoS流标识(PDU Session ID,QFI),完成两个QoS流的绑定(或关联),具体的,将即将建立的第二QoS流绑定之已经存在的第一QoS流,完成主备路径的关联。可选的,如果所述重配置消息中包含双传输指示,UE开启双传输,具体实现可以参考附图4,图5中的方式,例如:
●上行双发。UE执行数据包复制,将第一QoS流数据本地复制一份,将原数据包通过第一QoS流所对应的无线承载发送至第一接入设备。将复制后的数据包通过第二QoS流所在的无线承载发送至第二接入设备。UE为第一QoS流和第二QoS流的数据包添加双传输协议头,协议头携带包序号,标识等。UPF通过解析双传输协议头,可以实现去重操作。
●下行双收。UE收到第一接入设备发来的第一QoS流相对应的数据包和第二接 入设备发来的第二QoS流相对应的数据包,根据数据包中的双传输协议头信息(主要包含序列号和标识等)进行数据包去重。
S909.第二接入设备给AMF发送QoS流建立应答消息,通知AMF,第二QoS流无线侧建立完成。
S910.AMF向SMF发送主备QoS流建立应答消息;
该消息包括:第一QoS流标识和第二QoS流标识等。
S911.SMF通知UPF,建立第一和第二QoS流UPF侧用户面资源。
具体的,SMF分配资源(隧道,以及SMF从别处获得的计费QoS规则),发给UPF,UPF存储/安装这些规则,实现用户面资源的建立。
此外,SMF向UPF发送N4会话修改消息,该消息携带以下内容:
a.第一QoS流标识和第二QoS流标识,备份标签。UPF侧根据备份标签和第一QoS流标识(QFI,PDU Session ID)和第二QoS流标识(PDU Session ID,QFI)。完成两个QoS流的绑定,即完成主备路径的关联。
b.双传输指示(可选)。根据该指示,参考附图4,图5,UPF执行如下动作:
b1.下行双发。UPF收到DN发来的与第一QoS流相对应的数据包时,执行数据包复制,将原数据包通过第一QoS流所在的N3隧道发送至第一接入设备。将复制后的数据包通过第二QoS流所在的N3隧道发送至第二接入设备。UPF为第一QoS流和第二QoS流的数据包添加双传输协议头,协议头携带包序号,标识等。UE通过解析双传输协议头,可以实现去重操作;
b2.上行双收。UPF收到第一接入设备发来的第一QoS流相对应的数据包和第二接入设备发来的第二QoS流相对应的数据包,根据数据包中的双传输协议头信息(主要包含序列号和标识等)进行数据包去重。
c.其他PCC规则,UPF建立第二QoS流相关的策略计费规则等。
UPF向SMF发送N4会话修改应答消息,完成UPF侧主备QoS流用户面资源的创建。
本实施例通过网络侧识别到URLLC业务,进而为该业务建立主备两条路径来进行业务传输的质量提升和差错情况下的可靠性保障,且实施例中两个接入设备之间没有通信需求,能够实现UE同时通过3GPP与Non-3GPP混合接入的场景,实现传输效益的最大化。
参考图8A的架构和附图10,为初始阶段即建立主备路径(即第一传输路径和第二传输路径)的另一个实施例1000流程示意图,本实施例中第一接入设备和第二接入设备之间有通信接口,UE可以通过第一接入设备和第二接入设备建立同一个PDU会话,其中UE的控制面上下文位于第一接入设备,即AMF与第一接入设备存在信令面连接。下面对该实施例1000说明如下;

S1006.第二接入设备为第二QoS流分配无线资源信息,并将所分配的无线资源信息发送给第一接入设备
S1007.第一接入设备通知UE建立第一QoS流和第二QoS流,所述通知消息包括:

UPF向SMF发送N4会话修改应答消息,完成UPF侧主备QoS流用户面资源的创建。
本实施例中两个接入设备之间通过交互实现两个传输路径的建立,核心网可以只给一 个接入设备发送主备传输路径建立请求即可以实现主备传输路径的建立。由于对于同一种接入技术,现有核心网一般只允许其中一个接入设备与AMF有控制面连接(如主基站和辅基站机制),本实施例的方案对网络改动较小,更容易与现网兼容。
参考图11,是基于图8A,8B的架构,核心网在当前已经存在第一传输路径基础上,发起建立第二传输路径的建立流程。实施例1100步骤具体说明如下:
S1101.第二传输路径建立决策。可以分为以下几种情况:
a.UE发送QoS提升请求或者链路故障通知至SMF,包含QoS参数,链路故障通知,备份路径建立指示(可选,可能性很小)等;SMF根据UE的类型(URLLC终端),QoS提升需求等,并参考网络负荷情况,以及备份路径指示标签(可选),决策为UE的所述请求建立备份QoS流;
b.SMF收到UE的QoS提升请求或者链路故障通知后,还可以进一步向PCF请求授权,即向PCF发送备份路径建立请求,请求消息携带QoS参数(如5QI或者具体QoS需求),PCF根据UE签约信息和QoS参数,决策可以授权SMF为UE建立备份路径,向SMF发送主备路径建立应答消息,所述消息指示SMF可以为UE的所述请求建立备份QoS流;
c.PCF向SMF发送业务请求,包括QoS参数和备份标签(可选,PCF收到DN的业务请求后,根据QoS参数和UE签约信息决策需要为该业务建立主备路径,此种情况可以携带备份标签),同时PCF还可以在业务请求中携带原QoS流的QFI和PDU Session ID等;SMF根据UE的类型(URLLC终端),QoS需求等,并参考网络负荷情况,以及备份标签(可选)以及原QoS流标识,决策建立备份QoS流(或者按照PCF的主备建立指示,级前述备份标签,为UE建立主备路径);
d.UPF感知到链路质量发生恶化,例如低于预设值,通知SMF,携带PDU Session ID,QFI等;SMF根据UE的类型(URLLC终端),QoS提升需求等,并参考网络负荷情况,以及备份路径指示标签(可选),决策为UE的所述请求建立备份QoS流;
e.UPF感知到链路质量发生恶化,通知SMF;SMF根据UE的类型(URLLC终端),QoS提升需求等,并参考网络负荷情况,以及备份路径指示标签(可选),决策需要为UE的所述请求建立备份QoS流;SMF向PCF发送备份路径建立请求,请求消息携带QoS参数(如5QI或者具体QoS需求);PCF根据UE签约信息和QoS参数,决策可以授权SMF为UE建立备份路径,PCF向SMF发送主备路径建立应答消息,所述消息指示SMF可以为UE的所述请求建立备份QoS流。
S1102.SMF发起建立备份路径,包括:SMF分配备份QoS流用户面资源,主要包括主备QoS流的QFI,数据包检测与计费规则等。具体如下:分配备份QoS流对应的QFI等QoS流相关资源{例如,PCC(Policy Charging Control,策略计费控制)规则等}。备份QoS流的计费或者QoS策略可以和主QoS流相同,也可不同(例如可以不再对备份QoS流进行计费),本实施例不做限制。
SMF此时还可以根据URLLC业务类型和/或终端类型,决策是否通知UPF和/或UE开启双传输(双发和/或双收)功能。
具体包括:
●若URLLC终端为高移动终端(通过QoS参数,业务类型等和终端类型体现), 则表示其网路存在较大不稳定性,SMF在下发备份路径建立通知消息时携带双传输指示通知,指示UPF和UE进行双传输。
●若URLLC终端为低移动终端,则表示其网络路径相对稳定,则可以只为其建立备份路径,后续在需要时再开启双传输。
S1103.SMF给AMF发送备份QoS流创建请求,所述请求消息携带:主备QoS流QFI,PDU Session ID(主备QoS流若位于不同的PDU会话,则需要携带两个PDU Session ID),TFT,QoS,备份标签,双传输指示(可选)等;
备份标签用于指示两条QoS流之间的关系,可以称为主备关系,关联(associated)关系或者绑定关系,UE或者UPF可以根据该备份标签,确定可以分别在两条QoS流上传输相同的数据。
S1104.AMF发起备份QoS建立流程。AMF给第二接入设备发送QoS流创建请求消息,所述请求消息携带:第一QoS流QFI,PDU Session ID,第二QoS流QFI,PDU Session ID(可与第一QoS流所在的PDU Session ID相同,也可不同,不做限制),备份标签,双传输指示(可选),QoS等;

本实施例核心网通过第一接入设备通知第二接入设备和UE来进行第二传输路径的建立。由于对于同一种接入技术,现有核心网一般只允许其中一个接入设备与AMF有控制面连接(如主基站和辅基站机制),本实施例的方案对网络改动较小,更容易与现网兼容。
本发明前述实施例中的方法还可以应用于目前的4G网络,一种可能的适用架构为图13所示的架构,图13中,UE通过3GPP接入设备(E-UTRAN)接入核心网;UE在4G中也可以通过3GPP接入设备和Non-3GPP接入设备同时接入网络,只要将UE接入网络的接入设备与MME之间均有控制面连接存在即可。对图13中涉及的网元名称和功能描述如下表二所示:

在4G中,承载(bearer)是区分QoS的最小粒度,一个承载内,所有的业务流使用相同的转发处理,包括调度策略,队列管理,流量整形,资源配置等;要提供不同的QoS处理,需使用不同的承载,因此在4G中,一条传输路径和一个承载对应。
以上分别就本发明方案在5G和4G网络架构下的实施进行了说明。前述所有实施例中的终端(Terminal)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;还可以包括用户单元(subscriber unit)、蜂窝电话(cellular phone)、智能电话(smart phone)、无线数据卡、个人数字助理(personal digital assistant,PDA)电脑、平板型电脑、无线调制解调器(modem)、手持设备(handheld)、膝上型电脑(laptop computer)、无绳电话(cordless phone)或者无线本地环路(wireless local loop,WLL)台、机器类型通信(machine type communication,MTC)终端、用户设备(user equipment,UE),移动台(mobile station,MS),终端设备(terminal device)等。
接入设备指的是接入核心网的设备,例如可以是基站,宽带网络业务网关(broadband network gateway,BNG),汇聚交换机,非3GPP接入设备等。基站可以包括各种形式的基站,例如:宏基站,微基站(也称为小站),中继站,接入点等。
上述所有实施例中,涉及SMF实体,PGW的动作可以由图2所示的通信设备200中的处理器201调用存储器203中存储的应用程序代码来执行,本申请实施例对此不作任何限制。涉及终端的动作也可以由图2所示的通信设备200中的处理器201调用存储器203中存储的应用程序代码来执行,本申请实施例对此不作任何限制。
