背景技术
第三代合作伙伴计划(3rd Generation Partnership Project,3GPP)在2017年底发布了下一代移动通信网络结构,即5G网络架构。
5G网络架构支持终端通过一定的接入技术接入5G核心网(Core network,CN),以获取核心网提供的业务。其中,在)用户终端通过固定宽带接入网络接入核心网的场景中,用户终端通过家庭网关(Residential Gateway,RG)接入5G核心网。具体的,用户终端通过RG与5G核心网网元之间建立一个或多个PDU会话以接入核心网。每个PDU会话对应一个或多个通道,每一通道包含用户终端(例如电视(television))到RG间的通道、RG到固定接入网网关功能(Fixed Access Gateway Function,FAGF)的通道以及FAGF到核心网网元间的通道。
在5G网络架构中,对于一些带宽占用较大的业务,可使用组播(多播)技术来减少冗余流量,以降低网络负载。以网络协议电视(Internet Protocol Television,IPTV)业务为例,在现有的IPTV机制中,RG接收到用户终端发送的因特网组管理协议(Internet Group Management Protocol,IGMP)加入(join)消息,并执行IGMP窥探(snooping),将该用户终端的媒体接入控制(Media Access Control,MAC)地址与多播地址绑定。之后,RG向RG与FAGF间通道中的接入网(Access Network,AN)设备发送该IGMP join,由AN设备执行IGMP snooping,将RG的MAC地址与多播地址绑定。如此,将该用户终端加入组播组,从而在后续该用户终端可进行多播业务。
然而,在一些场景下,现有的5G网络架构不适用于组播业务。

需要说明的是,本申请下述实施例中各个网元之间的消息名字或消息中各参数的名字等只是一个示例,具体实现中也可以是其他的名字,在此统一说明,以下不再赘述。
首先,以图2所示的用户面数据处理系统中的策略管理网元为UDM为例,如图4所示,本申请实施例提供的用户面数据处理方法,包括如下步骤:
S401、RG向SMF发送请求消息。
相应的,SMF接收来自RG发送的请求消息。
请求消息携带数据网络标识和/或者网络切片选择辅助信息(Network Slice Selection Assistance Information,NSSAI)。可选的,上述的数据网络标识为数据网络名称(data network name,DNN)。当然,数据网络标识还可以包括例如数据网络编号等,本申请实施例对此不进行限制。
其中,数据网络标识和/或NSSAI均与业务类型相关,在本申请实施例中,按照RG与UPF之间是否传输多播业务的相关数据,可将业务类型分为多播业务和非多播业务。从而,RG通过请求消息(携带数据网络标识和/或NSSAI)可将当前的业务类型通知给SMF。
当然,请求消息还可以携带其他与业务类型关联的信息,例如,请求消息可以携带终端设备标识。
可选的,RG向FAGF发送请求消息,由FAGF向SMF发送该请求消息。
S402、SMF根据请求消息接收来自UDM的指示信息。
其中,指示信息用于指示是否采用预设协议处理FAGF和RG之间的用户面数据。预设协议包括固定接入控制协议用户面协议(Fixed Access Control Protocol User Plane Protocol,FCP UP)或者以太网点到点协议(Point-to-Point Protocol Over Ethernet,PPPoE)。
在本申请实施例中,UDM中存储有预配置信息,UDM可根据请求消息包含的信息查询预配置信息,从而确定能够适配当前业务类型的指示信息,SMF可从UDM中获取该指示信息。可选的,SMF获取该指示信息的方式可实现为:SMF向UDM发送获取消息,UDM根据该获取消息确定指示信息,其中,获取消息携带数据网络标识、NSSAI、终端设备标识中的至少一个。示例性的,该获取消息为会话管理签约请求,SMF通过向UDM发起会话管理签约请求获取UDM下发的指示信息。
可选的,上述预配置信息包括数据网络标识、NSSAI、终端设备标识中的至少一项与用户面数据处理方式的对应关系。如表1至表3所示,示出了UDM中存储的预配置信息。其中,下文以表1为例进行详细说明。
表1
Figure PCTCN2019089852-appb-000001
Figure PCTCN2019089852-appb-000002
在本申请实施例中,对不同类型业务的用户面数据采用不同的处理方式。业务类型可划分为多播业务和非多播业务。对于非多播业务的用户面数据,可采用预设协议封装/解封装FAGF与RG间的用户面数据。对于多播业务的用户面数据,不采用预设协议封装/解封装RG与FAGF之间的用户面数据,从而在AN设备缺少处理预设协议的协议栈的情况下,该AN设备仍然能够识别RG发送的组播加入消息(例如可以为IGMP join消息),并执行IGMP snooping,将请求多播业务的用户终端(例如TV)加入多播组(本文中也称为组播组),如此,用户终端能够访问多播业务。
通常,不同数据网络的网元提供不同类型业务,结合上述对不同类型业务的用户面数据采用不同的处理方式,因此,根据不同的数据网络可获知用户面数据的处理方式。结合表1的预配置信息,预配置信息包括DNN和用户面数据处理方式的对应关系,其中,DNN1对应的用户面数据处理方式为不采用预设协议处理用户面数据,DNN2对应的用户面数据处理方式也为不采用预设协议处理用户面数据,DNN3对应的用户面数据处理方式为采用预设协议处理用户面数据。如此,可由DNN获知用户面数据处理方式,即当UDM接收到来自SMF发送的获取消息后,可根据获取消息中携带的DNN以及例如表1所示的预配置信息,确定RG和/或FAGF的用户面数据处理方式。示例性的,当前图1中的TV通过RG向SMF发送请求消息,该请求消息用于请求DN中DNN1对应网元的多播业务,请求消息携带DNN1,SMF向UDM发送获取消息,获取消息携带DNN1,那么,UDM可根据例如表1所示的预配置信息确定DNN1对应的网元提供多播业务时,FAGF和/或不采用预设协议处理RG与FAGF之间的用户面数据,即FAGF不采用预设协议处理与RG间的用户面数据,RG不采用预设协议处理与FAGF间的用户面数据。
表2
Figure PCTCN2019089852-appb-000003
表2示出的预配置信息包括NSSAI3和用户面数据处理方式的对应关系。同样的,不同NSSAI3对应不同类型的业务,不同类型业务的用户面数据采用不同的处理方式。如此,可由NSSAI3获知用户面数据处理方式,即当UDM接收到来自SMF发送的获取消息后,可根据获取消息中携带的NSSAI3以及例如表2所示的预配置信息,确定FAGF、RG的用户面数据处理方式。
表3
Figure PCTCN2019089852-appb-000004
表3示出的预配置信息包括终端设备标识(例如可以为MAC地址)和用户面数据处理方式的对应关系。同样的,不同终端设备对应不同类型的业务,不同类型业务的用户面数据采用不同的处理方式。如此,可由终端设备标识获知用户面数据处理方式,即当UDM接收到来自SMF发送的获取消息后,可根据获取消息中携带的终端设备标识以及例如表3所示的预配置信息,确定用户面数据处理方式。
类似的,表2、表3的详细说明可参见表1的说明,这里不再赘述。
此外,当来自SMF的获取消息携带有数据网络标识、NSSAI、终端设备标识中的至少两个标识时,UDM根据获取消息携带的至少两个标识确定用户面数据处理方式。比如,来自SMF的获取消息携带数据网络标识和NSSAI,UDM根据获取消息中的数据网络标识、NSSAI以及表1、表2所示的预配置信息确定用户面数据处理方式。
当然,上述仅以UDM存储表格格式的预配置信息为例进行说明,UDM还可以存储其他格式的预配置信息,在此统一说明,下文不再赘述。
S403、SMF向FAGF发送指示信息。
相应的,FAGF接收来自SMF发送的指示信息。
可选的,SMF向FAGF发送N2消息,N2消息携带该指示信息。其中,N2消息可以为N2会话管理信息信元,由该N2会话管理信息信元携带指示信息。作为一种可能的实现方式,SMF可以向AMF发送N2会话管理信息信元,AMF向FAGF发送N2会话管理信息信元。
S404、SMF向RG发送指示信息。
相应的,RG接收来自SMF发送的指示信息。
其中,SMF可以采取以下两种方式向RG发送指示信息。
方式1:SMF向RG发送非接入层(Non-access stratum,NAS)消息,该NAS消息携带指示信息。可选的,在PDU会话管理流程中,该NAS消息为会话建立接受消息(PDU session establishment accept)。
方式2:SMF向FAGF发送指示信息,再由FAGF将指示信息发送给RG。可选的,SMF向FAGF发送N2消息,该N2消息携带指示信息(即先执行S403步骤),再由AGF向RG发送AN信令,该AN信令携带指示信息。
在本申请实施例中,对S403与S404的执行顺序不加以限制,即SMF可以先向RG发送指示信息,再向FAGF发送指示信息,也可以先向FAGF发送指示信息,再向RG发送指示信息,当然,也可以同时执行S403和S404。
S405、FAGF根据指示信息处理FAGF和RG之间的用户面数据。
具体的,S405可以实现为如下步骤:
S405a、FAGF根据指示信息判断是否采用预设协议处理FAGF和RG之间的用户面数据,若确定采用预设协议处理FAGF和RG之间的用户面数据,则执行步骤S405b,若确定不采用预设协议处理FAGF和RG之间的用户面数据,则执行步骤S405c。
S405b、FAGF采用预设协议解封装RG发送的用户面数据,或者采用预设协议封装向RG发送的用户面数据。
其中,可以通过为FAGF新增协议栈来实现采用预设协议处理用户面数据的功能,采用预设协议封装用户面数据包括为用户面数据增加包头等方式,本申请实施例对此不进行限制。
在FAGF采用预设协议处理与RG间的用户面数据的情况下,FAGF建立与RG间的用户面数据通道,该用户面数据通道采用预设协议处理用户面数据。
S405c、FAGF不采用预设协议解封装RG发送的用户面数据,或者FAGF不采用预设协议封装向RG发送的用户面数据。
在一种可能的实现方式中,在FAGF不采用预设协议处理与RG间的用户面数据的情况下,FAGF建立和RG之间的至少两个用户面数据通道。
其中,至少两个用户面数据通道可以是基于虚拟局域网(Virtual Local Area Network,VLAN)、或者以太(Ethernet)、或者网络互连协议(Internet Protocol,IP)等的通道,本申请不作限定。至少两个用户面数据通道对应RG和UPF之间的一个PDU会话,也就是,至少两个用户面数据通道与RG和UPF之间的PDU会话关联,RG通过至少两个用户面数据通道与UPF进行通信。
可选的,至少两个用户面数据通道包含不采用预设协议处理用户面数据的通道,称为第一用户面数据通道。第一用户面数据通道不采用预设协议处理AGF和RG之间的用户面数据,该第一用户面数据通道用于传输多播业务的控制信令,多播业务的控制信令包括例如上述的组播加入消息。
如此,在上行方向(RG到FAGF的方向),在第一用户面数据通道的一侧,RG向FAGF发送不采用预设协议封装的用户面数据(例如组播加入消息),该用户面数据在第一用户面数据通道中传输,由于该用户面数据并未采用预设协议封装,因此,AN设备可以识别该组播加入消息,将发起组播加入消息的用户终端(例如TV)加入多播组,在第一用户面数据通道的另一侧,FAGF接收到该不采用预设协议封装的用户面数据之后,相应的,不采用预设协议解封装RG发送的用户面数据。由此,用户终端在被加入多播组后可以进行多播业务。在下行方向(FAGF到RG的方向),在第一用户面数据通道的一侧,FAGF不采用预设协议封装向RG发送的用户面数据,该用户面数据在第一用户面数据通道中传输,之后,在第一用户面数据通道的另一侧,RG接收到不采用预设协议封装的用户面数据后,相应的,不采用预设协议解封装FAGF发送的用户面数据。
当然,至少两个用户面数据通道还包含FAGF与RG间的第二用户面数据通道,第二用户面数据通道采用预设协议处理FAGF与RG间的用户面数据,第二用户面数据通道用于传输非多播业务的用户面数据或者用于传输多播业务的控制信令。
可选地,RG可以在两个用户面数据通道中都发送多播业务的控制信令,如组播加入消息,此时FAGF从两个用户面数据通道中都接收到一份控制信令,只向核心网网元发送一份控制信令。
在另一种可能的实现方式中,在FAGF不采用预设协议处理与RG间的用户面数据的情况下,FAGF建立和RG之间的一个用户面数据通道,该用户面数据通道中传输的数据包不需要采用预设协议处理。
S406、RG根据指示信息处理FAGF和RG之间的用户面数据。
具体的,S405可以实现为如下步骤:
S406a、RG根据指示信息判断是否采用预设协议处理FAGF和RG之间的用户面数据,若确定采用预设协议处理FAGF和RG之间的用户面数据,则执行步骤S406b,若确定不采用预设协议处理FAGF和RG之间的用户面数据,则执行步骤S406c。
S406b、RG采用预设协议解封装FAGF发送的用户面数据,或者采用预设协议封装向FAGF发送的用户面数据。
其中,可以通过为RG增加协议栈来实现采用预设协议处理用户面数据的功能,采用预设协议封装用户面数据包括为用户面数据增加包头等方式,本申请实施例对此不进行限制。
在RG采用预设协议处理与FAGF间的用户面数据的情况下,RG建立与FAGF间的用户面数据通道,该用户面数据通道采用预设协议处理用户面数据,该用户面数据通道用于传输与FAGF间的非多播业务的用户面数据。
S406c、RG不采用预设协议解封装FAGF发送的用户面数据,或者RG不采用预设协议封装向FAGF发送的用户面数据。
RG不采用预设协议处理与FAGF间的用户面数据的情况下,RG建立和FAGF之间的至少两个用户面数据通道。
其中,至少两个用户面数据通道对应RG和UPF之间的一个PDU会话,也就是,至少两个用户面通道与RG和UPF之间的PDU会话关联,RG通过至少两个用户面数据通道与UPF进行通信。
可选的,至少两个用户面数据通道包含第一用户面数据通道,第一用户面数据通道不采用预设协议处理FAGF和RG之间的用户面数据。
可选的该第一用户面数据通道用于传输多播业务的控制信令,多播业务的控制信令包括例如上述的组播加入消息。
如此,在上行方向(RG到FAGF的方向),RG向FAGF发送不采用预设协议封装的用户面数据(例如组播加入消息),该组播加入消息在第一用户面数据通道中传输,由于该用户面数据并未采用预设协议封装,因此,AN设备可以识别该组播加入消息,将发起组播加入消息的用户终端(例如TV)加入多播组,由此,用户终端在被加入多播组后可以进行多播业务。下行方向的用户面数据传输的相关描述可参见上述FAGF的下行方向的用户面数据传输的描述,这里不再赘述。
需要说明的是,本申请实施例并不限制S403至S406的执行顺序,例如,可以先执行S404、S406,再执行S403、S405,也可以先执行S403、S404,再执行S405、S406。图4的方法流程所示的执行顺序仅为一个示例。
本申请实施例提供的用户面数据处理方法,接入设备在接收来自会话管理网元的指示信息后,可以根据指示信息处理与终端设备之间的用户面数据,其中,指示信息用以指示是否采用预设协议处理与终端设备之间的用户面数据,也就意味着,接入设备有所依据的处理与终端设备之间的用户面数据,在需采用预设协议处理用户面数据的场景下采用预设协议处理与终端设备间的用户面数据,在不需预设协议处理用户面数据的场景下不采用预设协议处理与终端设备间的用户面数据,使得AN设备可以解析某些多播业务的用户面数据,如组播加入消息,进而提升多播业务的接入率。
进一步的,采用本申请实施例的用户面数据处理方法,可根据业务类型来适配是否采用预设协议处理用户面数据,能够满足用户不同的业务需求。
本申请实施例还提供另一种用户面数据处理方法,如图5给出该方法流程,该方法包括如下步骤:
S501、RG向SMF发送请求消息。
其中,S501的详细介绍可参见S401相关描述,这里不再赘述。
S502、SMF根据请求消息接收来自PCF的指示信息。
需要说明的是,该步骤的执行与可参见S402的相关描述,所不同的是,在S502中,PCF中存储预配置信息,SMF从PCF中获取指示信息。
S503、SMF向FAGF发送指示信息。
S504、SMF向RG发送指示信息。
S505、FAGF根据指示信息处理FAGF和RG之间的用户面数据。
具体的,S505可以实现为如下步骤:
S505a、FAGF根据指示信息判断是否采用预设协议处理FAGF和RG之间的用户面数据,若确定采用预设协议处理FAGF和RG之间的用户面数据,则执行步骤S505b,若确定不采用预设协议处理FAGF和RG之间的用户面数据,则执行步骤S505c。
S505b、FAGF采用预设协议解封装RG发送的用户面数据,或者采用预设协议封装向RG发送的用户面数据。
S505c、FAGF不采用预设协议解封装RG发送的用户面数据,或者FAGF不采用预设协议封装向RG发送的用户面数据。
S506、RG根据指示信息处理FAGF和RG之间的用户面数据。
具体的,S405可以实现为如下步骤:
S506a、RG根据指示信息判断是否采用预设协议处理FAGF和RG之间的用户面数据,若确定采用预设协议处理FAGF和RG之间的用户面数据,则执行步骤S506b,若确定不采用预设协议处理FAGF和RG之间的用户面数据,则执行步骤S506c。
S506b、RG采用预设协议解封装FAGF发送的用户面数据,或者采用预设协议封装向FAGF发送的用户面数据。
S506c、RG不采用预设协议解封装FAGF发送的用户面数据,或者RG不采用预设协议封装向FAGF发送的用户面数据。
其中,本实施例的上述S503至S506的详细介绍可参见图4方法流程实施例中S403至S406的相关描述,这里不再赘述。
此外,在本申请的另一些实施例中,还提供一种用户面数据处理方法,在PDU会 话管理流程,比如在PDU会话建立流程中,若接入设备未接收到来自会话管理网元的指示信息,则接入设备采用预设协议处理与终端设备间的用户面数据,同样的,若终端设备未接收到来自会话管理网元的指示信息,则终端设备也采用预设协议处理与接入设备间的用户面数据。
可以理解的是,本申请实施例中的网元为了实现上述功能,其包含了执行各个功能相应的硬件结构和/或软件模块。结合本申请中所公开的实施例描述的各示例的单元及算法步骤,本申请实施例能够以硬件或硬件和计算机软件的结合形式来实现。某个功能究竟以硬件还是计算机软件驱动硬件的方式来执行,取决于技术方案的特定应用和设计约束条件。本领域技术人员可以对每个特定的应用来使用不同的方法来实现所描述的功能,但是这种实现不应认为超出本申请实施例的技术方案的范围。
