Description

一种数据传输方法、装置及系统
本申请要求于2018年7月6日提交中国国家知识产权局、申请号为201810737409.X、发明名称为“一种数据传输方法、装置及系统”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
本申请涉及移动通信技术领域,尤其涉及一种数据传输方法、装置及系统。
背景技术
移动通信网络中,运营商能够为用户提供语音、数据、视频等更多丰富多彩的业务。由于不同的业务对时延、带宽等要求各不相同,通过引入服务质量(Quality of Service,QoS)方案,实现各种业务的差异化,为高速数据业务提供了保障,增强了用户的网络体验。QoS方案的目的是针对各种不同的业务需求,提供不同服务质量的网络服务。尤其是在网络拥塞时,优先保障优先级高的用户或业务的服务质量。端到端的QoS保障是由传输用户数据的终端、接入设备、用户面网元实现,可分为接入设备与用户面网元间的核心网侧的下一代(next generation,NG)用户面隧道(NG-U Tunnel)和终端与接入设备间的无线侧的数据无线承载(data radio bearer,DRB)两部分。
上行业务流发生时,终端根据预先配置的QoS策略实现上行业务流到QoS流的映射以及QoS流到DRB的映射,并在上行业务流的上行数据包的封装头中携带映射的QoS流的服务质量流标识(QoS flow indicator,QFI)。其中,终端的QoS策略中包括五元组信息与QFI的映射关系,五元组信息包括源地址、目的地址、源端口、目的端口以及协议类型。因此,终端需要对上行业务流的上行数据包进行分析,获取其中的五元组信息,并根据QoS策略确定该五元组信息对应的QFI,从而实现将上行业务流映射至QoS流。下行业务流发生时,用户面网元可以采用与终端侧相同的方式,将下行业务流映射至另一个QoS流。或者,用户面网元还可以在分析下行业务流的五元组信息的基础上,进一步还深度分析下行业务流的下行业务数据包中的L4-L7(层4-层7)协议的特征,进行协议识别并获取七层协议类型或资源定位符(Uniform Resoure Locator,URL)等有价值信息,从而实现更精准的业务识别。
因此,不管是上行业务流到QoS流的映射,还是下行业务流到QoS流的映射,都需要对业务流的数据包进行识别,尤其是使用协议类型或URL等L7内容进行描述的业务,则比较依赖于用户面网元的业务识别能力。然而当前流行的移动数据业务很多都以应用(APP)形式发布,运营商或APP的所有者为吸引用户会适时推出针对特定APP的数据业务套餐,对该APP的流量免费或优惠,或对QoS体验进行提升或保障。若采用现有的QoS保障方案对APP的业务进行QoS保障,则需要终端及用户面网元对APP的业务流进行识别,可能会存在业务识别不及时、不准确的问题。
发明内容

由于基于APP业务的一些业务流可能使用协议类型或URL等L7内容描述,因此,若采用如背景技术所述的业务流的传输方法,则可能存在业务识别不及时、不准确的问题。具体地,UPF需深入读取网络之间互连的协议(Internet Protocol,IP)包载荷的内容来对七层协议中的应用层信息进行重组分析,有时可能还需分析多个报文后才能识别出业务流,导致业务识别不及时,无法及时提供QoS保障。并且,APP中可能存在链入的第三方业务,这些第三方业务的数据流虽然在终端上的APP中产生消耗,但用户面网元难以区分这些数据流属于APP的业务流量还是第三方业务的流量,导致用户面网元无法准确识别业务。进一步地,由于越来越多的服务商通过应用层加密协议传输数据以保证数据的安全性,因此,对于APP中加密的业务流,用户面网元难以获取IP包载荷的内容中的URL等信息,导致无法准确识别业务。
本申请提供的数据传输方法,可用于解决以上问题。如图3所示,为本申请提供的一种数据传输方法流程图。该方法包括上行方向的数据传输和下行方向的数据传输。APP的数据流,均为上行方向先发生。即由终端先发起APP的上行数据流的传输,然后UPF再发起该APP的下行数据流的传输。下面分别说明。
在上行方向,该方法包括:
步骤301,终端根据APP的信息,将终端的APP上产生的业务流的第一上行数据包映射至QoS流,得到第二上行数据包。
其中,第二上行数据包包括QFI和第一指示信息,该QFI用于标识QoS流,该第一指示信息用于指示UPF对APP的业务流使用反射QoS功能。作为一种具体的实现方式,该第一指示信息例如可以是反射QoS指示(Reflective QoS Indication,RQI)。
例如,当用户使用APP时,可以点击APP,例如可以在APP上访问视频、图片、文字等应用。终端在检测到用户发起的应用后,终端可以将APP上产生的业务流发送至UPF,由UPF处理该业务流,例如对该业务流进行计费、带宽控制等。终端获取该APP的信息,该APP的信息例如可以是APP的标识,或者还可以是APP的标识和OS标识,该APP的信息用于标识APP。然后,终端根据预先存储的APP的信息与QFI的对应关系,确定该APP的业务流将要映射的QoS流的QFI。
作为一种实现方式,APP的信息与QFI的对应关系可以是作为终端的策略信息(本申请中,终端的策略信息还可以称为第二策略信息)的一部分。该第二策略信息包括APP的信息与QFI的对应关系,进一步的还可以包括第一指示信息,进一步的还可以包括该第二策略信息的优先级信息等。该第二策略信息可以是由SMF发送给终端的。在具体实现中,该第二策略信息可以是SMF以QoS rule的形式发送给终端的,QoS rule用于指示终端对上行业务流 进行识别,以及指示将上行业务流映射到QoS流。当然,QoS rule中还可以包括其它信息,本申请不作限定。
下面以表格的形式为例,对终端的第二策略信息进行具体说明。如表1,为第二策略信息一种示例。其中,APP的信息包括APP的标识。
表1
Figure PCTCN2019092142-appb-000001
如表1所示,当用户点击终端的APP5,需要通过APP5发起业务时,则终端可以获取到APP5的信息,即APP id5,然后根据终端的第二策略信息,确定APP id5对应的QFI。例如,若第二策略信息中不包括优先级信息,则可以根据存储的顺序逐一匹配QoS rule,直到匹配到APP id5对应的QFI,或者全部匹配完之后失败。若第二策略信息中还包括优先级信息,则可以根据优先级,从优先级高的QoS rule开始匹配,直到匹配到APP id5对应的QFI,或者全部匹配完之后失败。在表1中,APP id5在QoS rule中匹配成功,确定APP id5对应的QFI3。因此,APP5的业务流的数据包将会映射至QFI3对应的QoS流。如表2,为策略信息又一种示例。其中,APP的信息包括APP的标识和OS的标识。
表2
Figure PCTCN2019092142-appb-000002
表2与表1的区别在于,表2中的APP的信息包括APP的标识和OS的标识。一般地,一个QoS rule对应的APP的信息包括的OS是相同的,比如QoS rule1对应的APP的信息包括OS1,QoS rule2对应的APP的信息包括OS1,QoS rule3对应的APP的信息包括OS2等。当然,一个QoS rule对应的APP的信息包括的OS也可以不相同。比如QoS rule1对应的APP的信息包括(OS1、APP id1)、(OS2、APP id2)、(OS2、APP id3)等。
当用户点击终端的APP5,需要通过APP5发起业务时,则终端可以获取到APP5的信息,即APP id5或(OS2、APP id5),然后根据终端的第二策略信息,确定APP5的信息对应的QFI。例如,若第二策略信息中不包括优先级信息,则可以根据存储的顺序逐一匹配QoS rule,直到匹配到APP5的信息对应的QFI,或者全部匹配完之后失败。若第二策略信息中还包括优先级信息,则可以根据优先级,从优先级高的QoS rule开始匹配,直到匹配到APP5的信息对 应的QFI,或者全部匹配完之后失败。在表1或表2中,APP5的信息在QoS rule中匹配成功,确定APP5的信息对应的QFI3。因此,APP5的业务流的上行数据包将会映射至QFI3对应的QoS流。
需要说明的是,在实际应用中,若不同的QoS rule中的APP的信息可以重复,则QoS rule中需要携带优先级信息。以表1为例,比如,在表1中还包括QoS rule5,该QoS rule5包括的QFI、APP的信息、优先级信息和指示信息分别为:QFI5,APP id2,5,第一指示信息。当用户点击终端的APP2,需要通过APP2发起业务时,则终端根据QoS rule1,确定APP id2对应的QFI为QFI1。该示例中,虽然QoS rule5中也包括APP id2,但由于QoS rule5的优先级低于QoS rule1的优先级,因此终端会根据QoS rule1匹配到QFI1。
若不同的QoS rule中的APP的信息不可以重复,则QoS rule中可以携带优先级信息,也可以不携带优先级信息。
针对终端的APP上产生的业务流,是以数据包的形式发送的。比如针对其中的任一上行数据包,该任一上行数据包可以称为第一上行数据包,将该第一上行数据包映射至QFI对应的QoS流,得到第二上行数据包,其中,第二上行数据包包括QFI和第一指示信息,该第一指示信息用于指示UPF对APP的业务流使用反射QoS功能。
步骤302,终端向UPF发送该第二上行数据包。相应地,UPF可以接收到第三上行数据包。
例如,终端可以将第二上行数据包通过该QoS流对应的DRB发送至RAN设备,RAN设备根据该第二上行数据包,对该第二上行数据包的封装头进行更新,得到第三上行数据包,并将第三上行数据包发送至UPF。该第三上行数据包包括QFI和第一指示信息。
在一种实现方式中,终端可以将该第二上行数据包通过该QoS流对应的DRB发送至RAN设备,RAN设备根据本地存储的策略信息(该策略信息可以称为第三策略信息)进行第二上行数据包的调度和QoS保障,得到第三上行数据包并将该第三上行数据包发送至UPF。例如,RAN设备的第三策略信息可以是由SMF发送给RAN设备的,该第三策略信息包括QFI和第三指示信息,该第三指示信息用于指示RAN设备允许APP的上行业务流携带第一指示信息。在一种具体的实现中,第三策略信息可以包括QFI和QoS profile等信息,QoS profile可以包括第三指示信息。作为一种实现方式,该第三指示信息例如可以是反射QoS属性(Reflective QoS Attribute,RQA)。可选的,QoS profile还可以包括5QI(5G QoS Identifier)、分配保留优先级(allocation and retention priority,ARP)等,对于保证比特率(Guaranteed Bit Rate,GBR)QoS流,QoS profile还可以包括保证流比特率(Guaranteed Flow Bit Rate,GFBR)、最大流比特率(Maximum Flow Bit Rate,MFBR)等。进一步地,RAN设备还可以根据第三策略信息为第三策略信息中的QFI分流无线资源和信道,建立该QFI对应的DRB。其中,一个DRB可以对应一个或多个QFI。
作为一种具体的实现方式,APP产生的第一上行数据包为实际应用数据,第二上行数据包包括第一上行数据包、QFI和第一指示信息,其中,QFI和第一指示信息携带在第二上行数据包的封装头中。RAN设备进行无线侧数据和核心网侧数据间的转发,由于RAN设备和终端间的接口(比如Uu接口)与RAN设备和UPF间接口(比如N3接口)不同,因此,RAN设备需要对第二上行数据包的封装头中的QFI等数据重新封装,得到第三上行数据包。具体的,RAN设备查看第二上行数据包的封装头,如果发现第二上行数据包的封装头只有QFI,没有第一指示信息,则RAN设备对第二上行数据包的封装头进行封装得到新的封装头,该第三上行数据包包括新的封装头和第一上行数据包,该新的封装头中包括QFI。如果发现第二上行数 据包的封装头有QFI,并且有第一指示信息,则RAN设备需要确定之前收到的第三策略信息中是否有第三指示信息,若第三策略信息中有第三指示信息,则RAN设备对第二上行数据包的封装头进行封装得到新的封装头,第三上行数据包包括该新的封装头和第一上行数据包,该新的封装头中包括QFI和第一指示信息;若第三策略信息中没有第三指示信息,则RAN设备对第二上行数据包的封装头进行封装得到新的封装头,第三上行数据包包括该新的封装头和第一上行数据包,该新的封装头中包括QFI。然后RAN设备将第三上行数据包发送至UPF。其中,第二上行数据包的封装头与第三上行数据包的新的封装头的格式和/或使用的协议不同。
UPF在接收到第三上行数据包后,根据第三上行数据包中的QFI对应的第一策略信息,进行相应的计费、带宽等控制。
通过上述步骤301和步骤302,实现了在上行方向,将APP的业务流的上行数据包发送至UPF。并且,终端在将APP的业务流的上行数据包映射至QoS流时,不需要对APP的业务流的上行数据包进行识别,比如不需要通过识别上行数据包的五元组信息以确定该上行数据包对应的QFI,而是根据产生该业务流的APP的信息,确定该业务流的上行数据包所对应的QFI,因而可以实现对业务流的上行数据包的快速和准确识别,并映射至相应的QoS流。并且即使对该业务流进行加密,但由于UPF是以APP的粒度则UPF在接收到该业务流的上行数据包时,只需要通过上行数据包中的QFI即可识别出该上行数据包所对应的APP,从而完成对该业务流执行计费、带宽控制等操作。
可选的,作为一种实现方式,在下行方向,该方法包括:
步骤303,UPF根据第一指示信息,将APP的业务流的第一下行数据包映射至QoS流,得到第二下行数据包。
UPF在接收到终端发送的业务流的上行数据包,比如接收到上述第二上行数据包之后,该第二上行数据包包括第一指示信息和QFI,因此UPF可以获取到该第二上行数据包的第一指示信息和QFI。UPF根据该第一指示信息,可以确定该APP的业务流的下行数据包可以通过该第二上行数据包对应QoS流发送给终端,即该APP的业务流的上行数据包和该APP的业务流的下行数据包是通过同一个QoS流传输的。
因此,若在下行方向,APP服务器产生了业务流,则将该业务流的下行数据包,比如第一下行数据包映射至上述QoS流得到第二下行数据包,该第二下行数据包包括QFI,该QFI用于标识上述QoS流。
作为一种实现方式,UPF可以通过以下方法,将APP的业务流的第一下行数据包映射至QoS流,得到第二下行数据包:UPF在接收到APP的业务流的上行数据包,如上述第二上行数据包后,获取该第二上行数据包的QFI和第一指示信息,进一步的还获取该第二上行数据包第一包过滤器(packet filter),该第一包过滤器包括五元组信息:源地址、源端口号、目的地址、目的端口号和协议类型。UPF根据该第一包过滤器确定第二包过滤器,该第二包过滤器也包括五元组信息:源地址、源端口号、目的地址、目的端口号和协议类型。并且,第二包过滤器的源地址与第一包过滤器的目的地址相同,第二包过滤器的目的地址与第一包过滤器的源地址相同,第二包过滤器的源端口号与第一包过滤器的目的端口号相同,第二包过滤器的目的端口号与第一包过滤器的源端口号相同,以及第二包过滤器的协议类型与第一包过滤器的协议类型号相同。例如,若第二上行数据包的第一包过滤器包括的五元组信息为(源地址:IP1、源端口号:port1、目的地址:IP2、目的端口号:port2、协议类型:p1),则UPF确定的第二包过滤器包括的五元组信息为(源地址:IP2、源端口号:port2、目的地址: IP1、目的端口号:port1、协议类型:p1)。然后,UPF可以记录QFI与第二包过滤器的五元组信息之间的对应关系。后续,当UPF接收到该APP的业务流的下行数据包,如上述第一下行数据包时,则可以根据该第二包过滤器,对该第一下行数据包进行识别,若确定第一下行数据包中的五元组信息与第二包过滤器的五元组信息匹配,则将该第一下行数据包映射至该第二包过滤器对应的QFI所标识的QoS流,即在第一下行数据包中添加该QFI,得到第二下行数据包。
作为一种实现方式,在上述步骤303之前,UPF还可以从SMF接收策略信息,该策略信息可以称为第一策略信息,该第一策略信息包括QFI和第二指示信息,该第二指示信息用于指示QFI标识的QoS流对应的业务为APP业务,该QFI与SMF发送给终端的第二策略信息中的QFI相同。即通过该第一策略信息,使得UPF获知该QFI标识的QoS流对应的业务为APP业务。
作为一种具体实现方式,该第一策略信息可以包括PDR,该PDR包括QFI和第二指示信息,进一步的,该PDR中还可以包括QoS执行规则(QoS Enforcement Rule,QER),该PDR用于指示用于做数据包的检测。该QER中可以包括Qos策略的参数,带宽等参数。UPF接收到PDR后安装规则,并进行QFI资源管理。
步骤304,UPF向终端发送第二下行数据包。相应地,该终端可以接收到第三下行数据包。
一方面,UPF向终端发送第二下行数据包,另一方面,UPF还根据QFI对应的第一策略信息对下行业务流进行计费、带宽等控制。
在一种实现方式中,第二下行数据包包括封装头和第一下行数据包,该封装头包括QFI。UPF可以将该第二下行数据包通过N3接口发送至RAN设备,RAN设备对第二下行数据包的封装头中的QFI等数据重新封装,得到新的封装头,然后RAN设备向终端发送第三下行数据包,该第三下行数据包包括该新的封装头和第一下行数据包,该新的封装头包括QFI。其中,第二下行数据包的封装头与第三下行数据包的新的封装头的格式和/或使用的协议不同。
通过上述步骤303-步骤304,UPF可以将APP的业务流的下行数据包通过该APP的业务流的上行数据包所对应的QoS流发送至终端。一方面,UPF不需要对该业务流的下行数据包进行深度识别,而只需要确定该下行数据包对应QFI,且该QFI也是上行数据包对应的QFI,因而UPF可以快速及准确地将APP的业务流的下行数据包映射至QoS流。进一步的,若APP服务器对APP的业务流进行加密,由于UPF不需要对该APP的业务流的下行数据包进行深度识别,因而虽然该业务流加密了,但不影响UPF将该业务流的下行数据包映射至QoS流,从而实现了对加密的业务流的准确及快速处理。进一步的,对于链入APP的第三方业务流流量也可以准确识别为该APP的流量,比如对于通过微信内的链接打开的京东应用,即在微信内的页面访问京东,可以准确识别为微信的流量,实现了对APP的流量的准确识别与控制处理。
作为一种实现方式,下面介绍一种QoS策略分配方法,通过该方法可以向图3所示的实施例中的终端、UPF分配策略信息,进一步的还可以向RAN设备分配策略信息。如图4所示,为本申请提供的QoS策略分配方法。该方法包括以下步骤:
步骤401,终端向SMF发送会话建立请求消息。相应地,SMF可以接收到该会话建立请求消息。
该会话建立请求消息用于请求建立会话。
需要说明的是,该会话建立请求消息也可以有其他名称,例如称为会话建立消息、请求 消息、建立请求消息、第一消息等等。
步骤402,SMF向PCF发送请求消息。相应地,PCF可以接收到该请求消息。
该请求消息用于请求获取终端的策略信息。
步骤403,PCF从数据管理网元获取终端的签约数据。
该数据管理网元例如可以是如图2所示的UDR。
PCF从数据管理网元获取的终端的签约数据包括该终端的APP的信息,该APP的信息包括APP的标识,或者该APP的信息包括APP的标识和OS的标识。
步骤404,PCF根据签约数据生成QoS策略信息。
PCF生成的QoS策略信息包括第四指示信息和APP的信息,该第四指示信息用于指示对APP的业务流使用反射QoS功能。
作为一种实现方式,该第四指示信息可以是一个反射(Reflective)QoS指示。
需要说明的是,上述步骤401-步骤404为可选步骤,即触发PCF向SMF发送QoS策略信息(即以下步骤405)的原因可以是基于终端的会话建立请求消息和SMF的请求消息(即上述步骤401-步骤404),也可以是其他原因。比如,当终端已经建立了PDU会话后,当该终端签约了一个适用于该PDU会话的业务策略时,则PCF可以主动执行上述步骤403-步骤404,即不执行上述步骤401-步骤402,而只执行上述步骤403-步骤404。再比如,当该终端已经建立了一个PDU会话后,应用服务器通过NEF网元向PCF请求业务的QoS保障时,则PCF可以从NEF网元接收到QoS参数,并根据QoS参数生成QoS策略信息,即不执行上述步骤401-步骤404,其中,该终端正在使用该应用服务器的服务。
步骤405,PCF向SMF发送QoS策略信息。相应地,SMF可以接收到该QoS策略信息。
步骤406,SMF根据QoS策略信息,生成第一策略信息、第二策略信息和第三策略信息。
SMF根据策略信息,生成QFI,QFI用于标识QoS流。该QFI与该APP的信息对应。本申请中,一个QFI可以与一个APP的信息一一对应,也可以与多个APP的信息对应。并且该QFI只能被分配用于标识APP的业务流对应的QoS流,可以理解为该用于该QFI不会被用于标识非APP的业务流对应的QoS流。
SMF生成的第一策略信息包括上述QFI和第二指示信息,第二指示信息用于指示QFI标识的QoS流对应的业务为应用APP业务。
SMF生成的第二策略信息包括上述QFI、APP的信息和第一指示信息。第一指示信息用于指示UPF对APP的业务流使用反射QoS功能。
SMF生成的第三策略信息包括上述QFI和第三指示信息,第三指示信息用于RAN设备允许APP的上行业务流携带第一指示信息。
其中,第一指示信息和第三指示信息的生成均与第四指示信息有关。
步骤407,SMF向RAN设备发送第三策略信息。相应地,RAN设备可以接收到该第三策略信息。
步骤408,SMF向UPF发送第一策略信息。相应地,UPF可以接收到该第一策略信息。
步骤409,SMF向终端发送第二策略信息。相应地,终端可以接收到该第二策略信息。
上述步骤407、步骤408、步骤409之间没有严格的执行顺序,可根据实际需要设定。
通过上述方法,可实现由SMF根据从PCF接收到的QoS策略信息生成第一策略信息、第二策略信息和第三策略信息,并分别发送给UFP、终端和RAN设备,使得UPF、终端和RAN设备分别根据第一策略信息、第二策略信息和第三策略信息处理上行数据包和下行数据包。并 且,可以实现终端和UPF对上行数据包和下行数据包的快速准确的识别,对于加密的数据流的数据包,无需深度识别即可快速准确识别其对应的QoS流,因而可以提升数据传输的效率。
需要说明的是,本申请上述各实施例中所使用的策略信息的名称并不限定,对于与某个策略信息具有相同功能的其他名称的策略信息,也可以认为是与该策略信息是实质上相同的消息。作为示例,上述各实施例中的第一策略信息也可以称为第一策略、或策略信息等,上述各实施例中的第二策略信息也可以称为第二策略、或策略信息等,上述各实施例中的第三策略信息也可以称为第三策略、或策略信息等。
