Description

一种速率调整方法及其装置、系统
本申请要求于2018年6月26日提交中国国家知识产权局、申请号为201810669446.1、发明名称为“一种速率调整方法及其装置、系统”的中国专利申请的优先权,其全部内容通过引用结合在本申请中。
技术领域
本申请实施例涉及通信技术领域,具体涉及一种速率调整方法及其装置、系统。
背景技术
终端(例如用户设备(user equipment,UE))支持双连接(dual connectivity,DC)技术指的是终端设备可以在同一时刻接入两个基站,这两个基站中一个基站称为主基站或第一基站,另一个基站称为辅基站或第二基站。在第五代移动通信系统(5th-generation system,5GS)的网络架构中,终端设备可以同时接入两个基站,这两个基站一个5G基站(gNB),一个是演进型基站(evolved NodeB,eNodeB或eNB),可以将5GS中的DC称为多无线接入技术双连接(multi-radio access technology dual connectivity,MR-DC)。
在5GS MR-DC场景中,如果UE使用新空口(new radio,NR)接入gNB进行数据传输,最高速率理论值可以达到4T比特每秒(bits per second,bps);如果UE只使用演进通用陆地无线接入网(evolved universal terrestrial radio access network,E-UTRAN),最高速率理论值只能达到10Gbps。如果UE突然不使用NR接入gNB,而UE的数据传输速率设置得比较高,这样便会导致数据丢包;反之,如果UE突然使用NR接入gNB,而UE的数据传输速率较低,这样便会影响数据传输效率,因此需要提升UE的数据传输速率。
目前,在5GS MR-DC场景中,在UE突然使用NR接入gNB或突然不使用NR接入gNB的情况下,无法对数据传输速率进行调整。因此,如何调整数据传输速率是亟待解决的技术问题。
发明内容
本申请实施例所要解决的技术问题在于,提供一种通信方法及其装置,解决了现有技术中无法调整数据传输速率的问题,可以适应性地对数据传输速率进行调整,从而既可以避免数据丢包,也可以保证数据传输效率。
本申请实施例第一方面提供一种速率调整方法,包括:
移动管理网元确定终端是否使用NR接入的接入信息;
移动管理网元根据该接入信息确定第一接入点名称-聚合最大比特速率(access point name-aggregate maximum bit rate,APN-AMBR)信息。
本申请第一方面,应用在5GS MR-DC场景中,在终端突然使用NR接入或突然不使用NR接入的情况下,由移动管理网元根据终端是否使用NR接入来确定第一APN-AMBR信息。移动管理网元可将第一APN-AMBR信息通知至用户面网元,以便用户面网元根据第一APN-AMBR信息对终端在用户面网元上的数据传输速率进行调整,从而实现根据第一APN-AMBR信息对终端在用户面网元上的数据传输速率进行适应性地调整,进而可以避免数据丢包,还可以保证数据传输效率。
其中,接入信息用于指示终端是否使用NR接入gNB,若终端使用NR接入,则终端可以使用NR系统进行数据传输;若终端不使用NR接入,则终端不能使用NR系统进行数据传输。
其中,APN-AMBR信息可以包括APN-AMBR这个参数和APN-AMBR这个参数的值,用于对数据传输速率进行控制。APN-AMBR用于限制终端在某个接入点名称(access point name,APN)上所有非保证比特速率(non-guaranteed bit rate,non-GBR)承载的聚合最大比特速率(aggregate maximum bit rate,AMBR),APN-AMBR的速率控制可在终端上执行,即终端可根据APN-AMBR参数的值对数据传输速率进行调整,例如,控制终端上的数据传输速率的最大值不超过APN-AMBR参数的值;速率控制也可在分组数据网元上执行,即分组数据网元可根据APN-AMBR参数的值对数据传输速率进行调整。
在一种可能的实现方式中,移动管理网元可根据主网络节点发送的第一指示信息来确定终端是否使用NR接入的接入信息,即移动管理网元接收来自主网络节点的第一消息,该第一消息携带第一指示信息,第一指示信息用于指示终端是否使用NR接入,从而移动管理网元根据第一指示信息确定出终端是否使用NR接入的接入信息,以便移动管理网元根据接入信息确定第一APN-AMBR信息。
其中,第一指示信息可以通过无线接入技术(radio access technology,RAT)类型(type)来指示。
主网络节点可在接收到移动管理网元发送的检测请求的情况下,检测终端是否使用NR接入,并将其结果通过第一指示信息告知移动管理网元,以便移动管理网元可以获知终端是否使用NR接入。
主网络节点可在移动管理网元所订阅的检测事件成功的情况下,检测终端是否使用NR接入,并将其结果通过第一指示信息告知移动管理网元,以便移动管理网元可以获知终端是否使用NR接入。
主网络节点也可主动检测终端是否使用NR接入,并将其结果通过第一指示信息告知移动管理网元,以便移动管理网元可以获知终端是否使用NR接入。
其中,主网络节点为终端双连接的两个网络节点中的一个,该主网络节点主要用于在5GS MR-DC场景中为这两个网络节点分配资源并提供数据传输。双连接的另一个网络节点可称为辅网络节点,该辅网络节点主要用于在5GS MR-DC场景中为终端提供数据传输。也可以将主网络节点称为第一网络节点,将辅网络节点称为第二网络节点。
在一种可能的实现方式中,移动管理网元可根据第二指示信息、终端的位置、第三指示信息和第一配置信息来确定终端是否使用NR接入的接入信息。其中,第二指示信息和终端的位置由主网络节点向移动管理网元发送,第二指示信息用于指示主网络节点的双连接能力,终端的位置可以是终端所属的跟踪区。第三指示信息由终端向移动管理网元发送,第三指示信息用于指示终端是否具备双连接能力,即终端是否可以同时连接至两个网络节点。
移动管理网元在主网络节点具备双连接能力和终端具备双连接能力的情况下,如果终端从不支持双连接的跟踪区进入到支持双连接的跟踪区,此时终端的位置所属的跟踪区支持双连接,移动管理网元可确定出终端使用NR接入的接入信息;若终端从支持双连接的跟踪区进入到不支持双连接的跟踪区,此时终端的位置所属的跟踪区不支持双连接,移动管理网元可确定出终端不使用NR接入的接入信息。
在一种可能的实现方式中,移动管理网元可根据接入信息和第二配置信息来确定第一APN-AMBR信息,第二配置信息包括使用NR接入对应的APN-AMBR信息或不使用NR接入对应 的APN-AMBR信息,例如,接入信息为终端使用NR接入,移动管理网元可从第二配置信息中选择NR接入对应的APN-AMBR信息,并将其作为第一APN-AMBR信息。
其中,不使用NR接入可以是终端使用E-UTRAN传输数据,没有使用NR接入网络节点。使用NR接入可以是终端使用NR传输数据。
在一种可能的实现方式中,上述第一消息还包括第二APN-AMBR信息,该第二APN-AMBR信息为主网络节点建议的APN-AMBR信息,主网络节点可根据主网络节点的实际使用情况确定建议的APN-AMBR信息。移动管理网元可根据接入信息和第二APN-AMBR信息确定第一APN-AMBR信息,即结合接入信息和第二APN-AMBR信息来确定第一APN-AMBR信息。
在一种可能的实现方式中,移动管理网元在确定第一APN-AMBR信息的情况下,可将第一APN-AMBR信息发送至终端,第一APN-AMBR信息用于终端根据第一APN-AMBR信息对数据传输速率进行控制,即终端根据第一APN-AMBR信息对终端上的数据传输速率进行调整,避免终端上的数据传输速率超过第一APN-AMBR参数的值,或提高终端上的数据传输速率,以保证数据传输效率。
在一种可能的实现方式中,移动管理网元在确定第一APN-AMBR信息的情况下,可根据第一APN-AMBR信息计算确定第一UE-AMBR信息,并将第一UE-AMBR信息发送至主网络节点,以便主网络节点可以根据第一UE-AMBR信息对终端的数据传输速率进行控制。
其中,UE-AMBR信息可以包括UE-AMBR参数和UE-AMBR参数的值,用于对数据传输速率进行控制。UE-AMBR用于限制终端的所有non-GBR承载的聚合最大比特速率,UE-AMBR的速率控制可在主网络节点上执行,即主网络节点根据UE-AMBR信息的参数的值对数据传输速率进行调整,例如,控制终端在主网络节点上的数据传输速率的最大值不超过UE-AMBR参数的值。
在一种可能的实现方式中,移动管理网元向服务网元发送第一承载管理请求,该第一承载管理请求包括接入信息;服务网元在接收到第一承载管理请求的情况下,向分组数据网元发送第二承载管理请求,该第二承载管理请求包括接入信息;分组数据网元在接收到第二承载管理请求的情况下,根据接入信息确定第三APN-AMBR信息,并根据第三APN-AMBR信息对分组数据网元的数据传输速率进行控制;分组数据网元向服务网元发送第二承载管理响应,第二承载管理响应用于响应第二承载管理请求,第二承载管理响应包括第三APN-AMBR信息;服务网元在接收到第二承载管理响应的情况下,向移动管理网元发送第一承载管理响应,该第一承载管理响应包括第三APN-AMBR信息。

在5GS中,存在着三种MR-DC网络架构,可分别参见图1-图3所示。
请参见图1,为5GS中的一种MR-DC网络架构示意图,为E-UTRAN-NR双连接(EN-DC)网络架构。在这种网络架构中,主网络节点即主基站,为eNB;辅网络节点即辅基站,为gNB;核心网节点包括控制面网元,控制面网元可以为移动性管理实体(mobility management entity,MME)网元。主网络节点与MME网元之间存在S1-MME信令面接口,主网络节点与辅网络节点之间存在X2-C信令面接口和X2-U用户面接口,主网络节点与服务网元之间存在S1-U用户面接口,辅网络节点与服务网元之间存在S1-U用户面接口。其中,服务网元可以为服务网关(serving gateway,SGW)网元。
请参见图2,为5GS中的另一种MR-DC网络架构示意图,为下一代无线接入网(next generation radio access network,NG-RAN)E-UTRAN-NR双连接(NGEN-DC)网络架构。在这种网络架构中,主网络节点即主基站,为eNB;辅网络节点即辅基站,为gNB;核心网节点包括控制面网元,控制面网元可以为(access and mobility management function,AMF)网元。主网络节点与AMF网元之间存在N2信令面接口,主网络节点与辅网络节点之间存在Xn-C信令面接口和Xn-U用户面接口,主网络节点与用户面网元之间存在N3用户面接口,辅 网络节点与用户面网元之间存在N3用户面接口。其中,用户面网元可以为用户面功能(user plane function,UPF)网元。
请参见图3,为5GS中的又一种MR-DC网络架构示意图,为NR E-UTRAN双连接(NE-DC)网络架构。在这种网络架构中,主网络节点即主基站,为gNB;辅网络节点即辅基站,为eNB;核心网节点包括控制面网元,控制面网元可以为AMF网元。主网络节点与AMF网元之间存在N2信令面接口,主网络节点与辅网络节点之间存在Xn-C信令面接口和Xn-U用户面接口,主网络节点与用户面网元之间存在N3用户面接口,辅网络节点与用户面网元之间存在N3用户面接口。其中,用户面网元可以为UPF网元。
需要说明的是,图1-图3中的各个网元之间的接口名字只是一个示例,具体实现中接口名字可能为其他名字,本申请实施例对此不作具体限定。
在承载或者会话建立过程中,主网络节点负责分配承载或者会话的无线接入网(radio access network,RAN)侧资源,主网络节点可以将主网络节点的资源分配给承载或会话,也可以将辅网络节点的资源分配给承载或会话。承载或者会话建立完成后,核心网控制面网元不知道承载或者会话在RAN侧资源的提供方是主网络节点还是辅网络节点。
如果5GS MR-DC的控制面在4G核心网,控制UE数据传输速率的参数包括APN-AMBR和UE-AMBR。其中,APN-AMBR的速率控制在分组数据网络网关(packet data network gateway,PGW)网元和UE上执行,用于限制UE在某个APN上所有Non-GBR承载的聚合最大比特速率。其中,UE-AMBR的速率控制在RAN上执行,用于限制UE的所有Non-GBR承载的聚合最大比特速率。
如果5GS MR-DC的控制面在5G核心网,控制UE数据传输速率的参数包括session-AMBR和UE-AMBR。其中,session-AMBR的速率控制在UPF网元和UE上执行,用于限制UE在某个会话上所有Non-GBR QoS流的聚合最大比特速率。其中,UE-AMBR的速率控制在RAN上执行,用于限制UE的所有Non-GBR QoS流的聚合最大比特速率。
如果满足不了保证比特速率(guaranteed bit rate,GBR)承载和QoS流的传输速率要求,RAN会释放GBR承载和QoS流的资源。如速率突然降低,低于GBR/保证流比特速率(guaranteed flow bit rate,GFBR)或者速率突然升高,高于最大比特速率(maximum bit rate,MBR)/最大流比特速率(maximum flow bit rate,MFBR),都导致GBR承载和QoS流的释放。
目前,在5GS MR-DC场景中,在UE突然使用NR接入gNB或突然不使用NR接入gNB的情况下,无法对数据传输速率进行调整。鉴于此,本申请实施例提供一种速率调整方法及其装置、系统,可以适应性地对数据传输速率进行调整,从而既可以避免数据丢包,也可以保证数据传输效率。

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,本申请实施例对此不作具体限定。在申请实施例中,移动管理网元以MME网元为例,服务网元以SGW网元为例,分组数据网元以PGW网元为例,策略规则网元以PCRF网元为例,接入管理网元以AMF网元为例,会话管理网元以SMF网元为例,策略管理网元以PCF为例,用户面网元以UPF网元为例进行介绍。本申请实 施例中的主网络节点可能是eNB,也可能是gNB,可将主网络节点称为主节点(master node,MN)。本申请实施例主网络节点以MN为例进行介绍。
以图4所示的速率调整系统应用于图1-图3所示的MR-DC网络架构为例,如图7所示,为本申请实施例一提供的速率调整方法的流程示意图,该方法中的MME网元可以通过图6所示的通信设备来实现。该方法可以包括但不限于如下步骤:
步骤S601,MN向MME网元发送第一指示信息。相应地,MME网元接收来自MN的第一指示信息。
其中,第一指示信息可以是双连接指示信息(DC indication),用于指示终端是否使用NR接入。终端是否使用NR接入,即终端是否使用NR接入gNB,若终端使用NR接入,则终端可以使用NR系统进行数据传输;若终端不使用NR接入,则终端不能使用NR系统进行数据传输。
第一指示信息可以通过RAT类型来指示,例如,终端不使用NR接入,RAT类型为E-UTRAN;终端使用NR接入,RAT类型为NR。第一指示信息也可以通过指示位的值来指示,例如,该指示位的值为0,指示终端不使用NR接入;该指示位的值为1,指示终端使用NR接入。第一指示信息也可以通过承载标识和RAT类型来指示,还可以通过承载标识和指示位的值来指示。第一指示信息也可以通过会话标识和RAT类型来指示,也可以通过会话标识和指示位的值来指示。
其中,MN为终端双连接的两个网络节点中的一个,MN主要用于在5GS MR-DC场景中为这两个网络节点分配资源并提供数据传输。双连接的另一个网络节点可称为辅网络节点或第二节点(secondary node,SN),本申请实施例辅网络节点以SN为例。
MN可通过第一消息向MME网元发送第一指示信息,即第一指示信息携带在第一消息中。第一消息可以是通知消息(notify),也可以是其他类型的消息,在本申请实施例中不作限定。
第一消息还包括第二APN-AMBR信息,该第二APN-AMBR信息为MN建议的APN-AMBR信息,MN可根据MN的实际使用情况确定建议的APN-AMBR信息。
在一种可能的实现方式中,MN可在接收到MME网元发送的检测请求的情况下,检测终端是否使用NR接入,并将其结果通过第一指示信息告知MME网元,以便MME网元可以获知终端是否使用NR接入。
在一种可能的实现方式中,MN可在MME网元所订阅的检测事件成功的情况下,检测终端是否使用NR接入,并将其结果通过第一指示信息告知MME网元,以便MME网元可以获知终端是否使用NR接入。
在一种可能的实现方式中,MN也可主动检测终端是否使用NR接入,并将其结果通过第一指示信息告知MME网元,以便MME网元可以获知终端是否使用NR接入。此时,第一指示信息可携带在初始终端消息(Initial UE Message),下行非接入层传输(Uplink NAS Transport)消息,路径转换请求(Path Switch Request)消息,切换请求(HO required)消息,切换通知(HO Notify)消息,EPS无线接入承载修改指示(e-RAB Modification Indication)消息,EPS无线接入承载释放指示(e-RAB Release Indication)消息,终端上下文修改指示(UE Context Modify Indication)消息,或终端上下文释放指示(UE Context Release Indication)消息等消息中。
MN可在以下几种情况下确定终端不使用NR接入:
情况一,若MN为eNB,SN为gNB,gNB的信号强度很弱(例如,低于阈值)或者终端移 出双连接覆盖区域的情况下丢失gNB信号连接;
情况二,若所有Non-GBR承载/QoS流都在eNB节点上,例如gNB节点上的non-GBR承载/QoS流切换到eNB节点上或gNB节点的non-GBR承载/QoS流释放,不使用gNB传输数据。
MN可在以下几种情况下确定终端使用NR接入:
终端建立到gNB上的信号连接,把non-GBR承载/QoS流切换到gNB上,或者为新建的承载/QoS流选择gNB,使用gNB传输数据。
MME网元可根据第一指示信息获知终端是否使用NR接入,除了这种方式外,MME网元还可以通过其他方式来获知终端是否使用NR接入。例如,MME网元可根据第二指示信息、终端的位置、第三指示信息和第一配置信息来确定终端是否使用NR接入。
其中,第二指示信息和终端的位置由MN向MME网元发送,第二指示信息用于指示MN的双连接能力,即是否具备双连接能力,MN具备双连接能力指的是MN可以为终端分配自己的资源,也可以为终端分配其它网络节点的资源。终端的位置可以是终端所属的跟踪区。
第三指示信息由终端向MME网元发送,第三指示信息用于指示终端是否具备双连接能力,即终端是否可以同时连接至两个网络节点。终端可以在步骤S601之前向MME网元发送第三指示信息,可通过非接入层(non-access-stratum,NAS)消息向MME网元发送第三指示信息,即第三指示信息携带在NAS消息中,NAS消息可以是附着请求(Attach Request)、跟踪区更新请求(TAU Request)、服务请求(Service Request)、承载资源分配请求(Bearer Resource Allocation Request)、承载资源修改(Bearer Resource Modification Request)或分组数据网连接请求(PDN Connectivity Request)。
第一配置信息可以是运营商配置的,可以包括跟踪区识别码和跟踪区识别码对应的跟踪区的双连接能力,跟踪区的双连接能力指的是跟踪区是否支持该区域内的终端同时连接至两个网络节点。
MME网元在MN具备双连接能力和终端具备双连接能力的情况下,如果终端从不支持双连接的跟踪区进入到支持双连接的跟踪区,此时终端的位置所属的跟踪区支持双连接,MME网元可确定出终端使用NR接入的接入信息;若终端从支持双连接的跟踪区进入到不支持双连接的跟踪区,此时终端的位置所属的跟踪区不支持双连接,MME网元可确定出终端不使用NR接入的接入信息。
终端在从不支持双连接的跟踪区进入到支持双连接的跟踪区,或者从支持双连接的跟踪区进入到不支持双连接的跟踪区时,会触发跟踪区更新(tracking area update,TAU),从而触发MN向MME网元发送第一指示信息。
步骤S602,MME网元根据第一指示信息确定第一APN-AMBR信息。
其中,APN-AMBR信息可以包括APN-AMBR这个参数和APN-AMBR这个参数的值,用于对数据传输速率进行控制。APN-AMBR用于限制终端在某个APN上所有non-GBR承载的聚合最大比特速率,APN-AMBR的速率控制可在终端上执行,即终端可根据APN-AMBR参数的值对数据传输速率进行调整,例如,控制终端上的数据传输速率的最大值不超过APN-AMBR参数的值;速率控制也可在PGW网元上执行,即PGW网元可根据APN-AMBR参数的值对数据传输速率进行调整。
在一种可能的实现方式中,MME网元可根据接入信息和第二配置信息来确定第一APN-AMBR信息,第二配置信息包括使用NR接入对应的APN-AMBR信息或不使用NR接入对应的APN-AMBR信息,例如,接入信息为终端使用NR接入,MME网元可从第二配置信息中选择 NR接入对应的APN-AMBR信息,并将其作为第一APN-AMBR信息。
其中,不使用NR接入可以是终端使用E-UTRAN传输数据,没有使用NR接入网络节点。使用NR接入可以是终端使用NR传输数据。
在一种可能的实现方式中,第一消息还包括第二APN-AMBR信息,MME网元可根据接入信息和第二APN-AMBR信息确定第一APN-AMBR信息,即结合接入信息和第二APN-AMBR信息来确定第一APN-AMBR信息。
MME网元在确定第一APN-AMBR信息的情况下,可将第一APN-AMBR信息发送至终端,第一APN-AMBR信息用于终端根据第一APN-AMBR信息对数据传输速率进行控制,即终端根据第一APN-AMBR信息对终端上的数据传输速率进行调整,避免终端上的数据传输速率超过第一APN-AMBR参数的值,或提高终端上的数据传输速率,以保证数据传输效率。
若移动管理网元之前向终端发送的APN-AMBR信息中APN-AMBR这个参数的值较大,例如,大于当前所确定的第一APN-AMBR信息中第一APN-AMBR这个参数的值,那么移动管理网元可不将当前所确定的第一APN-AMBR信息发送至终端,终端可不对数据传输速率进行调整,也可以节省系统信令。
MME网元在确定第一APN-AMBR信息的情况下,可根据第一APN-AMBR信息计算确定第一UE-AMBR信息,并将第一UE-AMBR信息发送至MN,以便MN可以根据第一UE-AMBR信息对终端的数据传输速率进行控制。
其中,UE-AMBR信息可以包括UE-AMBR参数和UE-AMBR参数的值,用于对数据传输速率进行控制。UE-AMBR用于限制终端的所有non-GBR承载的聚合最大比特速率,UE-AMBR的速率控制可在MN上执行,即MN根据UE-AMBR信息的参数的值对其数据传输速率进行调整,例如,控制终端在MN上的数据传输速率的最大值不超过UE-AMBR参数的值。
若移动管理网元之前向主网络节点发送的UE-AMBR信息中UE-AMBR这个参数的值较大,例如,大于当前所确定的第一UE-AMBR信息中第一UE-AMBR这个参数的值,那么移动管理网元可不将当前所确定的第一UE-AMBR信息发送至主网络节点,主网络节点可不对数据传输速率进行调整,也可以节省系统信令。
在一种可能的实现方式中,步骤S602之后还可以包括如下步骤:
步骤S603,MME网元向SGW网元发送第一承载管理请求。相应地,SGW网元接收来自MME网元的第一承载管理请求。
其中,该第一承载管理请求包括第一指示信息,还可以包括第二APN-AMBR信息,还可以包括第一APN-AMBR信息,还可以包括承载标识。

若第二承载管理请求包括第一指示信息,则PGW网元也可根据第一指示信息和第二配置信息确定第三APN-AMBR信息,同MME网元根据第一指示信息和第二配置信息确定第一APN-AMBR信息,只是执行主体存在差别。
若第二承载管理请求包括第一指示信息和第二APN-AMBR信息,则PGW网元根据第一指示信息和第二APN-AMBR信息确定第三APN-AMBR信息,同MME网元根据第一指示信息和第二APN-AMBR信息确定第一APN-AMBR信息,只是执行主体存在差别。
若第二承载管理请求包括第一指示信息、第二APN-AMBR信息和第一APN-AMBR信息,则PGW网元可在第一APN-AMBR信息的基础上,结合第一指示信息和第二APN-AMBR信息来确定第三APN-AMBR信息。
PGW网元在确定第三APN-AMBR信息的情况下,可根据第三APN-AMBR信息对数据传输速率进行控制,例如,对终端在PGW网元上的数据传输速率进行控制。
若第二承载管理请求只包括第一APN-AMBR信息,则PGW网元可根据第一APN-AMBR信息对数据传输速率进行控制。
步骤S606,PGW网元向SGW网元发送第二承载管理响应。相应地,SGW网元接收来自PGW网元的第二承载管理响应。

其中,该第一承载管理响应用于响应第一承载管理请求,第一承载管理响应包括第三APN-AMBR信息,还可以包括承载标识。
上述第一承载管理响应和上述第二承载管理响应还包括第四指示信息,MME网元在接收到第四指示信息的情况下,向MN发送第四指示信息,所述第四指示信息用于指示MN是否为承载分配MN的资源,或是否为承载分配SN的资源,以便MN确定是否为承载分配MN的资源或SN的资源。其中,第四指示信息可以是PGW网元从PCRF网元中获取的,PCRF网元可以根据承载的QCI确定第四指示信息。
MME网元也可根据承载的QCI确定第四指示信息,向主网络节点发送第四指示信息,第四指示信息用于指示主网络节点是否为承载分配主网络节点的资源,或是否为承载分配辅网络节点的资源,以便主网络节点确定是否为承载分配主网络节点的资源或辅网络节点的资源。
在一种可能的实现方式中,若PGW网元未执行步骤S605,则PGW网元可触发IP-CAN会话管理流程,在步骤S604与步骤S606之间可包括如下步骤:

若IP-CAN会话管理请求包括第一指示信息和第二APN-AMBR信息,则PCRF网元根据第一指示信息和第二APN-AMBR信息确定第三APN-AMBR信息,同MME网元根据第一指示信息和第 二APN-AMBR信息确定第一APN-AMBR信息,只是执行主体存在差别。
若IP-CAN会话管理请求包括第一指示信息、第二APN-AMBR信息和第一APN-AMBR信息,则PCRF网元可在第一APN-AMBR信息的基础上,结合第一指示信息和第二APN-AMBR信息来确定第三APN-AMBR信息。

第一配置信息可参见图7所示实施例中步骤S601的对第一配置信息的具体描述,在此不再赘述。
AMF网元在MN具备双连接能力和终端具备双连接能力的情况下,如果终端从不支持双连接的跟踪区进入到支持双连接的跟踪区,此时终端的位置所属的跟踪区支持双连接,AMF网元可确定出终端使用NR接入的第一指示信息;若终端从支持双连接的跟踪区进入到不支持双连接的跟踪区,此时终端的位置所属的跟踪区不支持双连接,AMF网元可确定出终端不使用NR接入的第一指示信息。AMF网元在确定出终端是否使用NR接入的第一指示信息的情况下,将第一指示信息通过第一消息发送至SMF网元,以便SMF网元获知第一指示信息。
步骤S703,SMF网元根据第一指示信息确定第一session-AMBR信息。
其中,session-AMBR信息可以包括session-AMBR参数和session-AMBR参数的值,用于对数据传输速率进行控制。session-AMBR用于限制终端在某个会话上所有non-GBR承载QoS流的聚合最大比特速率,session-AMBR的速率控制可在终端上执行,即终端可根据session-AMBR参数的值对数据传输速率进行调整,例如,控制终端上的数据传输速率的最大值不超过session-AMBR参数的值;速率控制也可在UPF网元上执行,即UPF网元可根据session-AMBR参数的值对数据传输速率进行调整。

在一种可能的实现方式中,上述第一消息还包括第二session-AMBR信息,第二session-AMBR信息为MN建议的session-AMBR信息,MN可根据MN的实际使用情况确定建议的session-AMBR信息。SMF网元可根据接入信息和第二session-AMBR信息确定第一session-AMBR信息,即结合接入信息和第二session-AMBR信息来确定第一session-AMBR信息,例如,会话管理网元可根据接入信息确定一个session-AMBR信息,然后根据第二session-AMBR信息对该session-AMBR信息进行调大或调小,从而得到第一session-AMBR信息。
