Then, in the terminal service request, if there is no PDU session with the downlink data transmission requirement, the activated PDU session requested by the terminal is less than the part of the PDU session. Similarly, if the terminal adopting the user plane CIOT, if it is in the idle state, there is no information of the PDU session required for the downlink data transmission in the paging message, and the UE may also lack this part of the PDU session if it requests to restore the PDU session as needed.
- This example is a paging operation/notification operation, which is applicable to a scenario in which PDU session processing is performed based on a PDU session that the core network requests to recover. As shown in Figure 18, the example includes the following steps:
- Step 181 When the user plane function of the core network needs to transmit downlink data, determine the PDU session information requested to be restored, and the user plane function of the core network sends a downlink data notification to the SMF.
- Step 182 The SMF sends the downlink data notification to the AMF.
- Step 183a The AMF sends a paging message or a notification message to the radio access network, where the paging message carries the PDU session information that the core network requests to recover.
- Step 184 The radio access network forwards the paging message to the terminal.
- Step 183b The AMF notifies the UE of the message.
- the notification message may carry the PDU session information that the core network requests to recover.
- the notification message of the PDU session information that is requested to be restored by the back core network is sent to the UE through the 3GPP access network.
- Step 185a After receiving the paging message, the terminal starts a PDU session recovery process, and sends a service request message to the core network.
- the message may carry the PDU session information that the core network requests to recover.
- step 185b After receiving the paging message, the terminal starts a PDU session recovery process, and sends an RRC recovery request message to the radio access network.
- the message may carry the PDU session information that the core network requests to recover.
- the acquisitions involved in some embodiments of the present disclosure may be received, configured, or known by themselves.
- the PDU session required for data transmission may be a PDU session with downstream data transmission requirements, a PDU session with downlink data notification, and the like.
- a PDU session with data transmission requirements is not necessarily included in the PDU session information requesting recovery. Because the UE does not know that the network device has a PDU session for downlink data transmission when transmitting the information of the PDU session requesting recovery.
- the disclosed apparatus and method may be implemented in other manners.
- the device embodiments described above are merely illustrative.
- the division of cells is only a logical function division.

相关申请的交叉引用
本申请主张在2018年1月4日在中国提交的中国专利申请号No.201810009027.5的优先权,其全部内容通过引用包含于此。
本公开涉及通信技术领域,尤其涉及一种会话控制方法、网络设备及终端。
蜂窝物联(Cellular Internet of Things,CIOT)是一种数据传送的优化方法,包括控制面板CIOT和用户面CIOT。其中,用户面CIOT是指在终端(User Equipment,UE)需要被释放或者不活跃时,可以通过挂起终端与网络连接方式,在无线接入网保持终端的上下文。当终端需要恢复与网络的连接时,不需要重新在无线接入网建立终端的上下文。终端也可以不需要向核心网发送服务请求,从而达到节省连接建立的信令和减少时延的效果。其中,终端与网络连接连接可以是指终端与接入网之间的无线资源控制(Radio Resource Control,RRC)连接,接入网与核心网之间关于终端的连接。
对采用了用户面CIOT的终端,在连接恢复时可节省服务请求过程中连接建立的信令和减少时延,但对于被挂起的PDU会话,特别是无线接入网(Radio Access Network,RAN)侧被挂起的PDU会话,就不能够根据终端的意愿来决定是否恢复,是否恢复无线承载。若默认恢复所有的PDU会话,恢复对于终端不想恢复的PDU会话则浪费了建立无线承载的无线资源。

本公开的一些实施例提供了一种会话控制方法,应用于第一网络单元侧,第一网络单元包括至少以下之一:无线接入网设备、无线接入网节点、无线接入网功能单元、集中单元(Centralized Unit,CU)、分布式单元(Distributed Unit,DU)、基站、eNB、gNB、非3GPP互操作功能(Non-3GPP InterWorking Function,N3IWF)、接入控制(Access Controller,AC)节点、接入点(Access Point,AP)设备或无线局域网(Wireless Local Area Networks,WLAN)节点;第二网络单元包括至少以下之一:核心网设备、核心网节点、核心网功能单元、移动管理实体(Mobility Management Entity,MME)、接入管理功能(Access Management Function,AMF)、会话管理功能(Session Management Function,SMF)、SGW、PGW、用户平面功能UPF。其中,本公开的一些实施例仅以第一网络单元为无线接入网,第二网络单元为核心网为例进行说明。
值得指出的是,在5G移动通信系统中,用户面CIOT可能会被命名为其他名称,但不影响本公开。
在本公开的一些实施例中,挂起/释放表示挂起和/或释放,恢复PDU会话还可以体现为激活PDU会话。
如图1所示,本公开的一些实施例的会话控制方法具体包括以下步骤11-12。
步骤11:获取分组数据单元PDU会话信息的操作请求信息。
其中,操作请求信息可以包括以下信息中的至少一项:终端请求恢复的PDU会话信息、终端请求释放的PDU会话信息和终端请求挂起的PDU会话信息。
其中,PDU会话信息可以包括以下信息中的至少一项:PDU会话标识信息、恢复指示信息、挂起指示信息、释放指示信息、PDU会话标识比特地图信息和PDU会话中QoS流信息。
可选的,在PDU会话比特地图中的比特位置代表PDU会话标识(比如第N比特代表的PDU会话标识是N)。第N比特位置可以指示是否操作(比 如请求恢复、请求释放、请求挂起、挂起成功)PDU会话标识为N的PDU会话。比如第N比特指示为1,可以指示对相应的PDU会话执行以下会话操作之一:请求激活、请求恢复、请求释放、请求挂起、确认恢复、恢复成功、释放成功、挂起成功。
比如第N比特指示为0,可以指示对相应的PDU会话执行以下会话操作之一:请求不激活、请求不恢复、请求不释放、请求不挂起、确认不能恢复、恢复失败、释放失败、挂起失败。不难理解、通过PDU会话比特地图可以节省需要传输的信息的字节。
-当请求恢复的PDU会话信息包含PDU会话比特地图时,PDU会话比特地图可以指示哪些PDU会话请求会话。比如可以通过将第N比特设置为1指示PDU会话标识为N的PDU会话请求会话。
-当请求释放的PDU会话信息包含PDU会话比特地图时,PDU会话比特地图可以指示哪些PDU会话请求释放。比如可以通过将第N比特设置为1指示PDU会话标识为N的PDU会话请求释放。
-当请求挂起的PDU会话信息包含PDU会话比特地图时,PDU会话比特地图可以指示哪些PDU会话请求挂起。比如可以通过将第N比特设置为1指示PDU会话标识为N的PDU会话请求挂起。
-当确认恢复的PDU会话信息或确认不能恢复的PDU会话包含PDU会话比特地图时,PDU会话比特地图可以指示哪些PDU会话确认恢复和/或哪些PDU会话确认不能恢复。比如可以通过将第N比特设置为1指示PDU会话标识为N的PDU会话请求确认恢复。比如可以通过将第N比特设置为0指示PDU会话标识为N的PDU会话请求确认不能恢复。
-当PDU会话恢复结果信息包含PDU会话比特地图时,PDU会话比特地图可以指示哪些PDU会话恢复成功和/或哪些PDU会话确认恢复失败。比如可以通过将第N比特设置为1指示PDU会话标识为N的PDU会话恢复成功。比如可以通过将第N比特设置为0指示PDU会话标识为N的PDU会话恢复失败。
可选的,PDU会话标识信息可以包括QoS流标识信息PDU会话标识比特地图信息可以包括QoS流标识比特地图信息,QoS流信息可以包括QoS流 映射的无线承载信息。一般来说,一个PDU会话可以包含多个QoS流。只有存在至少一个QoS流请求恢复,其对应的PDU的PDU会话就需要请求恢复。
步骤12:根据操作请求信息,进行PDU会话处理。
一种实施方式中,步骤12可以包括以下(1)-(3)至少一项:
(1)当操作请求信息为终端请求恢复的PDU会话信息时,可以执行以下至少一项:对终端请求恢复的PDU会话进行恢复操作;对终端挂起的所有PDU会话进行恢复操作;对终端挂起的所有PDU会话进行恢复操作且在资源不足时,优先对终端请求恢复的PDU会话进行恢复操作。其中,这里所说的资源可以包括无线资源、第一网络单元内部的CPU、内存等各种资源。一种实施方式中,优先指的是,假设UE请求恢复的PDU会话为PDU会话1和PDU会话2,但终端挂起的PDU会话有PDU会话1、PDU会话2、PDU会话3、PDU会话4和PDU会话5。第一网络单元在资源充足是全部恢复,但在资源不足时,优先恢复PDU会话1和PDU会话2,若恢复完PDU会话1和PDU会话2后还有额外资源的话,可进一步恢复PDU会话3、PDU会话4等。
(2)当操作请求信息包含终端请求释放的PDU会话信息时,可以对终端请求释放的PDU会话进行释放操作。
(3)当操作请求信息包含终端请求挂起的PDU会话信息时,可以对终端请求挂起的PDU会话进行挂起操作。
其中,值得说明的是,对PDU会话进行恢复操作的步骤可以为:对PDU会话可以执行以下操作中的至少一项:恢复PDU会话的上下文;恢复PDU会话对应的无线承载;为PDU会话的QoS流分配和/或映射无线承载资源;恢复第一网络单元与第二网络单元之间关于终端的连接。
进一步地,步骤12还可以包括以下至少一项:向终端发送确认恢复和/或确认不能恢复的PDU会话信息;向第二网络单元发送第一网络单元的PDU会话恢复结果信息。也就是说,一、第一网络单元在对PDU会话进行处理的同时或之后,还可根据处理结果生成确认恢复和/或确认不能恢复的PDU会话信息并反馈至终端;二、第一网络单元在对PDU会话进行处理的同时或之 后,可以根据处理结果生成第一网络单元的PDU会话恢复结果并发送至第二网络单元。其中,本公开的一些实施例并不限定这两个步骤(上述一和二)之间先后关系,亦不限定处理过程与处理结果发送的先后关系,既可以边处理边发送,亦可以全部处理完后一并发送。
其中,第一网络单元的PDU会话恢复结果信息可以包括以下信息中的至少一项:恢复成功的PDU会话信息、恢复失败的PDU会话信息、请求释放的PDU会话信息和请求挂起的PDU会话信息。

确认不能恢复的PDU会话可以包括:不存在PDU会话上下文的PDU会话、不能够分配或映射无线承载资源的PDU会话、第一网络单元确认不能恢复的PDU会话、第二网络单元确认不能恢复的PDU会话中的至少一项。
可选地,在向终端发送确认恢复和/或确认不能恢复的PDU会话信息的步骤之后,还可以包括:接收终端反馈的终端的PDU恢复结果信息。其中,终端的PDU恢复结果信息可以包括:终端恢复成功的PDU会话信息和终端恢复失败的PDU会话信息中的至少一项。
可选的,向第二网络单元发送第一网络单元的PDU会话恢复结果信息的步骤还可以包括:向第二网络单元发送携带有第一网络单元的PDU会话恢复 结果信息的会话操作请求;接收第二网络单元根据会话操作请求返回的第二网络单元的PDU会话恢复结果信息。
可选的,第二网络单元的PDU会话恢复结果信息可以包括以下信息中的至少一项:恢复成功的PDU会话信息、恢复失败的PDU会话信息、请求恢复的PDU会话信息、请求释放的PDU会话信息和请求挂起的PDU会话信息。
具体地,恢复成功的PDU会话信息可以用于指示第一网络单元和第二网络单元均恢复成功的PDU会话;
恢复失败的PDU会话信息可以用于指示第二网络单元恢复失败的PDU会话;
第二网络单元请求恢复的PDU会话信息可以用于指示第一网络单元挂起的但第二网络单元请求恢复的PDU会话、第一网络单元没有恢复失败仍然挂起的但第二网络单元请求恢复的PDU会话中的至少一项;
第二网络单元请求释放的PDU会话信息可以用于指示第二网络单元恢复失败的PDU会话、第一网络单元恢复成功但第二网络单元请求释放的PDU会话中的至少一项;
第二网络单元请求挂起的PDU会话信息可以用于指示终端恢复失败的PDU会话、第一网络单元恢复成功但第二网络单元请求释放的PDU会话中的至少一项。
其中,接收第二网络单元根据会话操作请求返回的第二网络单元的PDU会话恢复结果信息的步骤之后还可以包括:根据第二网络单元的PDU会话恢复结果信息,对终端的PDU会话进行处理。一个例子是:第一网络单元恢复终端的PDU会话1和2,但是第二网络单元对PDU会话1恢复成功,对PDU会话2恢复失败。此时,不难理解,对恢复失败的PDU会话2,第二网络单元可以指示PDU会话2恢复失败、请求释放PDU会话2或者请求挂起PDU会话2。
可选的,根据第二网络单元的PDU会话恢复结果信息,对终端的PDU会话进行处理的步骤的具体内容,如下,此处不再赘述。
在另一种实施方式中,步骤12可以包括:当操作请求信息包括终端请求恢复的PDU会话信息时,可以执行:向第二网络单元发送终端请求恢复的 PDU会话信息。
其中,向第二网络单元发送终端请求恢复的PDU会话信息的步骤之后,还可以包括:接收第二网络单元根据终端请求恢复的PDU会话信息反馈的第二网络单元的PDU会话恢复结果信息;根据第二网络单元的PDU会话恢复结果信息,可以对终端的PDU会话进行处理。
值得指出的是,上述第二网络单元的PDU会话恢复结果信息可以包括以下信息中的至少一项:第二网络单元恢复成功的PDU会话信息、第二网络单元恢复失败的PDU会话信息、第二网络单元请求恢复的PDU会话信息、第二网络单元请求释放的PDU会话信息、第二网络单元请求挂起的PDU会话信息。
具体地,恢复成功的PDU会话信息可以用于指示第一网络单元和第二网络单元均恢复成功的PDU会话;
恢复失败的PDU会话信息可以用于指示第二网络单元恢复失败的PDU会话;
第二网络单元请求恢复的PDU会话信息可以用于指示第一网络单元挂起的但第二网络单元请求恢复的PDU会话、第一网络单元没有恢复失败仍然挂起的但第二网络单元请求恢复的PDU会话中的至少一项;

第二网络单元请求挂起的PDU会话信息可以用于指示终端恢复失败的PDU会话、第一网络单元恢复成功但第二网络单元请求释放的PDU会话中的至少一项。
一个例子是:第一网络单元恢复终端的PDU会话1、2、3且终端请求恢复的是PDU会话1。第二网络单元对终端请求的PDU会话1恢复成功。第二网络单元同时发现有下行数据传输需求的PDU会话2,对PDU会话2恢复失成功。此时,不难理解,对多余恢复的PDU会话3,第二网络单元可以指示请求释放PDU会话3或者请求挂起PDU会话3。
另一个例子是:第一网络单元向第二网络单元发送终端请求恢复PDU会 话1。第二网络单元对终端请求的PDU会话1恢复成功。第二网络单元同时发现有下行数据传输需求的PDU会话2,对PDU会话2恢复失成功。此时,不难理解,对多余恢复的PDU会话3,第二网络单元可以指示恢复成功PDU会话1和2并发送给第一网络单元。第一网络单元则对应恢复PDU会话1和2。第一网络单元也会指示UE恢复PDU会话1和2。
根据第二网络单元的PDU会话恢复结果信息,对终端的PDU会话进行处理的步骤,可以包括:

以上分别从第一网络单元、第二网络单元和终端介绍了本公开的一些实施例的会话控制方法的不同处理方式,下面本公开将以PDU会话恢复操作为例对不同场景下的会话控制方法做进一步说明。
如图11所示,本公开的一些实施例的网络架构包括:终端、第一网络单元(以无线接入网为例)、第二网络单元(以核心网为例),其中,核心网包括接入管理功能AMF、会话管理功能SMF和用户面功能。无线接入网接收UE发送的请求恢复的PDU会话信息,并根据UE请求恢复的PDU会话的进行恢复,其中,无线接入网优先UE请求的PDU会话情况下恢复UE的所有PDU会话,此后,无线接入网将UE请求恢复的PDU会话信息发送给核心网。
第一示例
UE向无线接入网发送请求恢复的PDU会话信息,无线接入网可以根据UE请求恢复的PDU会话进行恢复,并将PDU会话恢复的结果通知核心网进行PDU会话恢复。核心网接收无线接入网发送的PDU会话恢复的结果进行 PDU会话恢复,并将核心网PDU会话恢复的结果通知无线接入网。UE根据无线接入网的确认恢复的PDU会话进行PDU会话恢复。
具体地,该示例为恢复操作,PDU会话恢复顺序是无线接入网与UE先恢复,核心网侧再根据UE和无线接入网的PDU会话恢复结果进行PDU会话的恢复。其优点是完成UE和无线接入网侧的PDU会话恢复后,UE即可发送上行数据。在该示例中,无线接入网是根据UE请求恢复的PDU会话信息进行PDU会话恢复的。如图12所示,该示例具体包括以下步骤:
步骤121:UE向无线接入网发送RRC恢复请求。这里,RRC恢复请求对应上述操作请求信息。可选的,在操作请求信息中可以指示至少以下之一:请求恢复的PDU会话的信息。
对不属于请求恢复的PDU会话,无线接入网可以继续挂起或进行释放。
无线接入网可以根据UE的请求进行PDU会话恢复操作,包括至少以下之一:
-恢复指定PDU会话的上下文,
-恢复指定PDU会话映射的无线承载(如数据资源承载(Data Resource Bearer,DRB)等),
-为指定的PDU会话分配或映射无线承载(如DRB),
-恢复无线接入网与核心网之间关于UE的连接。
在一些实施方式中,由于无线资源紧缺,不是每个UE请求的PDU会话都能够被分配无线资源。所以,无线接入网可以将确认恢复的PDU会话的信息发送给UE。
此外,请求中可以指示至少以下之一:请求挂起的PDU会话信息、请求释放的PDU会话信息。
步骤122:无线接入网向UE发送RRC恢复,RRC恢复中携带有PDU会话恢复结果信息,可选的,在RRC恢复指示至少以下之一:确认恢复的PDU会话信息、确认不能恢复的PDU会话信息。
UE根据指示的“确认恢复的PDU会话信息和/或确认不能恢复的PDU会话信息”进行PDU会话恢复。

第七示例
对空闲态的终端时,核心网侧可能收到关于终端个别PDU会话的下行数据通知。对这些会话,需要进行恢复才能将数据传送给终端。但是寻呼消息中并没有这样的信息。则在终端服务请求时,并不知道还有下行的数据传送需求的PDU会话,则终端请求的激活的PDU会话就少了这部分PDU会话。同样,对采用了用户面CIOT的终端,如果处于空闲态,寻呼消息中没有下行的数据传送需求的PDU会话的信息,UE如果按需请求恢复PDU会话,也会缺少这部分PDU会话。
该示例为寻呼操作/通知操作,该示例适用于基于核心网请求恢复的PDU会话进行PDU会话处理的场景。如图18所示,该示例包括以下步骤:
步骤181:当核心网的用户面功能有下行数据需要传输时,确定请求恢复的PDU会话信息,核心网的用户面功能向SMF发送下行数据通知。

步骤184:无线接入网将该寻呼消息转发至终端。
步骤183b:AMF向UE通知消息。其中,该通知消息中可以携带有核心网请求恢复的PDU会话信息。一种实施方式中,虽然UE在3GPP接入网内处于空闲态,但UE在非3GPP接入网处于连接态。所以通过3GPP接入网将包含后核心网请求恢复的PDU会话信息的通知消息发送给UE。
步骤185a:终端在接收到寻呼消息后,启动PDU会话恢复流程,向核心网发送服务请求消息。其中,该消息中可以携带有核心网请求恢复的PDU会话信息。
或步骤185b:终端在接收到寻呼消息后,启动PDU会话恢复流程,向无线接入网发送RRC恢复请求消息。其中,该消息中可以携带有核心网请求恢复的PDU会话信息。
其中,值得指出的是,本公开的一些实施例中所涉及到的获取可以是接 收到、配置得到或自行知道的。在一些实施方式中,数据传输需求的PDU会话可以是有下行数据传送需求的PDU会话、或接收到下行数据通知的PDU会话等。有数据传输需求的PDU会话不一定包含在请求恢复的PDU会话信息中。因为UE在发送请求恢复的PDU会话的信息时并不知道网络设备存在下行数据传输的PDU会话。
