Description

承载标识的确定方法及装置、存储介质 技术领域
本公开涉及下一代无线通信(5G)领域,具体而言,涉及一种承载标识的确定方法及装置、存储介质。
背景技术
3GPP(3 rd Generation Partnership Project)从R8开始制定第四代(或称长期演进Long Term Evolution,LTE)移动通信系统,图1是相关技术中第四代移动通信系统的网络架构图,其中各网元的功能如下:
终端(User Equipment,UE),主要通过无线空口接入4G网络并获得服务,终端通过空口和基站交互信息,通过非接入层(non-Access Stratum,NAS)信令和核心网的移动性管理实体交互信息。
基站(Radio Access Network,RAN,或eNB),负责终端接入网络的空口资源调度和以及空口的连接管理。
移动性管理实体:核心网控制面实体,主要负责对用户的鉴权、授权以及签约检查,和用于用户移动性管理,PDN连接以及承载的维护,用户IDLE状态下触发寻呼等功能。
服务网关(Serving Gateway,S-GW):核心网用户面功能实体,主要负责漫游情况下和分组数据网关(Packet Data Network Gateway,PDN GW)的交互。
分组数据网关(Packet Data Network Gateway,PDN GW或P-GW):核心网用户面功能实体,是终端接入PDN网络的接入点,负责分配用户IP地址以及网络触发的承载建立、修改和删除,还具有服务质量(Quality of Service,QoS)控制计费等功能,是用户在3GPP系统内的锚点,从而保证IP地址不变,保证业务连续性。在控制与转发分离架构中,P-GW又分为2个部分,一个是分组数据网关控制实体(PGW-Control,PGW-C),一个是分组数据网关用户面实体(PGW-User,PGW-U)。PGW-C负责信令控制,PGW-U负责IP转发。
归属签约服务器(Home Subscription Server,HSS):存储了用户的签约信息。
策略控制与计费规则功能实体(Policy and charging control function,PCRF),负责策略决策和计费规则的制定。PCRF提供了基于业务数据流的网络控制规则,这些网络控制包括业务数据流的检测、门控(Gating Control)、服务质量控制以及基于数据流的计费规则等。PCRF将其制定的策略和计费规则发送给P-GW执行。
3GPP从R14开始研究下一代通讯系统(NextGen System,5GS),下一代通讯系统能够支持演进的移动宽带(Evolved Mobile Broadband,eMBB)、超大连接机器通讯(Massive Machine Type Communication,mMTC)、超可靠机器通讯(Ultra Reliable Machine Type Communication,uMTC)三种业务类型,这三种业务类型具有不同的网络特性。图2是相关技术中下一代移动通信网络架构示意图,其中各网元的功能如下:
终端(User Equipment,UE),主要通过下一代无线空口接入网络并获得服务,终端通过空口和基站交互信息,通过非接入层信令和核心网的公共控制面功能以及会话控制面功能交互信息。
下一代基站(NextGen Radio Access Network,NG RAN),负责终端接入网络的空口资源调度和以及空口的连接管理。下一代基站可以应用新的无线接入技术(gNB),也可以应用增强LTE技术(eLTE)。
会话控制面功能实体(Session Management Function,SMF):用于和终端交互,并主要负责处理用户分组数据单元会话(Packet Data Unit session,PDU session)的建立、修改和删除请求,选择用户面功能(User Plane function,UPF),建立UE到UPF之间的用户面连接,以及和策略控制功能实体(Policy Control Function,PCF)一起确定会话的QoS参数等功能。UE的每个PDU session都有一个对应的SMF,不同的PDU session可以有不同的SMF。
接入与移动性控制功能实体(Access and Mobility control Function,AMF):是核心网内的公共控制面功能。一个用户只有一个AMF,其负责对用户鉴权、授权以及签约检查以保证用户是合法用户;用户移动性管理,包括位置注册和临时标识分配;当用户发起PDU连接建立请求的时候,选择合适的SMF;转发UE和SMF之间的非接入层信令;转发基站和SMF之间的接入层(Access Stratum,AS)信令。
用户面功能实体(User Plane Function,UPF):提供用户面处理功能,包括数据转发、QoS执行。UPF还提供用户移动时候的用户面锚点,保证业务连续性。
策略控制功能实体(Policy Control Function,PCF):提供资源的授权功能,其和4G网络中的PCRF功能类似。
统一数据管理功能实体(Unified Data Management,UDM,):存储了用户的签约数据,其和4G时代的HSS非常类似。
下一代通讯系统(NextGen System,5GS)的部署,开始会在热点地区如市中心,商业中心等地区局部部署。当UE接入5G系统中,随着用户的移动,移出了5G系统的覆盖范围,用户UE被切换到4G系统中。
图3是相关技术中4G与5G双向切换的网络架构图,其核心特点是该架构图同时兼容4G和5G架构,以及PGW-C和SMF合一,PGW-U和UPF合一,PCF和PCRF合一,UE的用户面始终锚定在UPF/PGW-U上。在AMF和MME之间,增加N26接口,在该接口上发送跨系统间切换请求。这样UE在LTE和5G之间切换时,能够保证无缝切换。
当4G系统中,UE和网络建立的每个PDN connection,里面包含1个缺省承载(bearer)和多个专用承载。每个承载的信息包含了对应的业务流(Service flows)及其QoS参数,每个承载都有对应的承载标识(EPS Bearer ID,EBI)。在4G系统中,EBI是由MME分配。EBI在UE的所有PDN Connection之间唯一。EBI有4个bit,理论上有16个值,但其中某些值被预留,最多只有11个值可用。
在5G系统中,UE和网络建立PDU session,里面包含1个缺省的服务质量流(Qos flow)和多个专用服务质量流。每个QoS flow包括了对应的业务流(Service flows),及其QoS参 数,如QoS配置集合(QoS profile)和分组过滤器(packet filter),每个Qos flow也有对应的标识:Qos Flow ID(QFI)。在每个PDU session内部,QFI是唯一的。
UE在4G和5G系统之间的无缝移动性,包含4G到5G的切换与4G到5G的空闲态移动性,其中UE的IP地址不变。
当UE从5G系统向4G系统无缝移动时,将5G系统建立的PDU session转换为4G系统中的PDN connection。PDU session中的服务质量流,到4G系统后转化为承载。反之亦然。
为了保证上述无缝移动性,在5G系统中为UE建立PDU session的Qos flow时,SMF/PGW-C需要分配该Qos flow对应4G系统的会话参数/承载信息,并发送给UE。在4G系统中建立PDU connection及承载时,PGW-C/SMF也要分配该PDU connection及承载对应的5G PDU session和Qos flow信息,并发给UE。
由于对于一个UE,可能有多个SMF,由SMF分配EBI会导致EBI冲突,也就是两个SMF分配了相同的EBI值。相关技术中,在5G系统为UE建立PDU session,在为Qos flow时分配4G会话参数时,其中EBI的分配是由AMF完成的,其余参数则是由SMF分配。
然而在UE发生移动性时,目标AMF如何知道哪些EBI已经被分配了,其包含以下场景:
场景一:跨AMF的空闲态移动性,UE发送注册请求到目标AMF,AMF如何知道源AMF上,哪些EBI已经被分配了;
场景二:跨AMF的切换,UE需要切换到目标AMF,AMF如何知道源AMF上,哪些EBI已经被分配了;
场景三:4G到5G的空闲态移动性,UE在5G系统发送注册请求到目标AMF,AMF如何知道4G的MME上,哪些EBI已经被分配了;
场景四:4G到5G的连接态切换,UE切换到5G后,目标AMF如何知道源MME上,哪些EBI已经被分配了;
当5G网络和传统4G网络或LTE基站共存时,为了实现4G网络系统和5G网络系统间,以及5G网络系统内部的承载标志的确定,相关技术中将EBI分配情况作为AMF的移动性上下文,由源AMF传递给目标AMF。但是这个方案只能解决场景一和二,无法解决场景三和四。如果改造MME,使MME传递EBI分配信息,则改造MME将会非常复杂。此外,EBI分配信息不仅包含EBI值列表,还有每个EBI值对应的5G会话信息。然而,在4G中,这些5G会话信息都是由PGW-C/SMF分配的,MME无法知晓。
针对相关技术中,在5G内部、4G到5G的空闲态移动性以及4G到5G的连接态切换等移动性事件后,如何确定已分配的EBI信息,尚未提出有效的解决方案。
