Description

分配EBI的方法和装置 技术领域

背景技术
在第五代移动通信系统(5th generation system,5GS)中,为了保证业务端到端的服务质量,提出了图1A所示的基于服务质量流(quality of service Flow,QoS Flow)的第五代移动通信技术服务质量(5th Generation generation quality of service,5G QoS)模型,该5G QoS模型支持保证比特率(guaranteed bit rate,GBR)的QoS Flow和不保证比特率(non-guaranteed bit rate,non GBR)的QoS Flow,使用同一个QoS Flow控制的数据流具有相同的QoS保障。对于一个用户设备(user equipment,UE),UE可以与5GS建立一个或多个PDU会话,每个分组数据单元(packet data unit,PDU)会话可以建立一个或多个QoS Flow,每个QoS Flow由一个QoS数据流标识(QoS Flow identifier,QFI)来识别,QFI在PDU会话中唯一表示QoS Flow的身份标识。
在支持5GS和演进分组系统(evolved packet system,EPS)之间进行互通的网络架构中,5GS中的PDU会话可以迁移到EPS中,以及在EPS建立该PDU会话对应的分组数据网络(packet data network,PDN)连接,相应的,PDU会话中的QoS Flow会在PDN连接中映射一个EPS承载(EPS bearer)。在5GS中支持互通的PDU会话建立流程中,5GS中的核心网网元需要为QoS Flow在EPS中映射的EPSbearer分配一个EBI,然而如何为EPS bearer分配EBI目前正在讨论中。

11、SMF向AMF发送PDU会话标识、以及该PDU会话标识关联的会话管理信息(session management information,SM information)和会话管理容器(session management container,SM container)。
12、AMF向NG-RAN发送PDU会话请求,RAN接收来自AMF的PDU会话请求。PDU会话请求包括SM information和NAS消息,AMF是通过N2接口将SM Information是发送给RAN,NAS消息中包括SM container发送给RAN,即AMF是通过透传的方式将SM container发送给RAN的。SM information保护PDU会话的用户面策略执行(user plane policy rnforcement)。
13、NG-RAN和UE之间进行接入网特定资源建立(AN specific resource setup),在此过程中NR-RAN向UE发送PDU会话建立接受(PDU session establishment accept)。

15、AMF向SMF发送更新会话管理上下文请求(PDU session update SM context request),SMF接受来自AMF的更新会话管理上下文请求。该请求可通过Nsmf接口发送。

参见图1F,图1F是本发明实施例提供的EBI分配流程,该流程包括:
1、在default QoS Flow或GBR QoS Flow创建过程中,PGW-C+SMF会为对应的default EPS bearer/dedicated GBR EPS bearer向AMF请求EBI。
在5GS中,default QoS Flow的创建过程在UE发起的PDU Session建立过程中,而GBR QoS Flow的创建过程则是在UE或者网络侧发起的PDU Session修改过程中。
2、SMF向AMF发送EBI分配请求,EBI分配请求中携带PDU会话标识和分配和抢占优先级(allocation and retention priority list,ARP list)Namf_Communication_EBIAssignment服务请求,请求得到AMF分配的EBI,该服务请求中携带PDU Session ID以及ARP list。
3-6步只用于AMF需要释放先前分配的EBI(注:EPS中EBI的数量是有限的)。
3、如果AMF没有可用的EBI,AMF可能会基于ARP和S-NSSAI取消先前分配的EBI,并向服务于该EPS承载的SMF+PGW-C发送更新会话管理上下文请求。(注:AMF可以为多个SMF分配EBI,所以本步骤中的SMF与第2步中向AMF发送请求的SMF可能不是同一个。)
4、SMF向AMF发送会话管理容器(N1 SM container)和会话管理信息(N2 SM information),分别用来通知UE和RAN释放的EBI。
5、如果UE处于CM_IDLE态,则AMF首先寻呼UE,然后UE发起Service Request流程,在Service Request流程中的N2 Session消息中的N2 SM information信元以及N1 SM container信元带给RAN和UE。
如果UE处于CM_CONNECTED态,则AMF通过N2 Session Request消息中的N2 SM information信元以及N1 SM container信元带给RAN和UE。
6、UE触发PDU会话修改流程。
7、如果AMF成功分配了EBI,AMF向SMF+PGW-C发送EBI分配响应,若AMF成功分配EBI,EBI分配响应中携带分配的EBI,若AMF没有成功分配EBI,EBI分配响应找那个携带失败原因值,例如:失败原因值为EBI数量不足,则AMF将分配的EBI回应给SMF。若没有成功分配,AMF回应一个原因值指示EBI分配失败。
8、SMF+PGW-C修改用户面的隧道信息。
9、SMF向AMF发送N1 SM container和N2 SM information,分别用来通知UE和RAN释放的EBI。
10、AMF将分配的EBI发送给UE和RAN。UE、RAN和网络侧进行隧道信息的修改。
从图1F的EBI分配流程可以看出:AMF在接收到SMF+PGW-C的EBI分配请求之后,会为EPS承载分配EBI。由于5GS的用户面安全需求高于EPS的用户面安全能力,支持EPS迁移的PDU会话迁移到EPS后,EPS的用户面安全能力可能不满足PDU会话的用户面安全需求,这样预先为PDU会话中的QoS Flow在该EPS中映射的EPS承载分配的EBI是不可用的,从而导致EPS中有限的EBI资源的浪费,同时也会增加无必要的信令开销。为了解决上述问题,本申请提出了图2至图4的解决方案。
参见图2,图2是本发明实施例提供的一种分配EBI的方法的流程示意图,在本发明实施例中,所述方法包括:
S201、传输管理装置判断PDU会话的用户面安全执行信息和EPS的用户面安全保护信息是匹配的。
具体的,PDU会话中可建立一个或多个QoS Flow,PDU会话支持迁移到EPS,即PDU会话支持在EPS中建立对应的PDN连接,对于一个QoS Flow而言,该QoS Flow在EPS中映射一个EPS承载;其中,QoS Flow映射的EPS承载表示5GS中的QoS Flow在EPS中对应的EPS承载,在UE从5GS移动到EPS后,UE在EPS中建立PDU会话对应的PDN连接,相应的,PDU会话中的QoS Flow会在PDN连接中映射EPS承载,在成功建立PDN连接后,UE会发起释放PDU会话的流程,相应的PDU会话中的一个或多个QoS Flow也会被释放。在本发明实施例中,在出现如下的任意一种情况时,表明需要为QoS Flow在EPS中映射的EPS 承载分配EBI:1、在图1B非漫游和图1C的本地疏导的漫游场景下,UE发起了PDU会话的建立;2、在图1D的归属路由的漫游场景下,UE发起了PDU会话的建立;3、在图1B非漫游和图1C本地疏导的漫游场景下,UE或网络发起了PDU会话的修改;4、在图1D的归属漫游的场景下,UE或网络发起了PDU会话的修改。本实施例中的传输管理装置用于管理5GS中的PDU会话,以及管理EPS中的PDN连接,包括负责PDU会话的建立、修改和删除,PDN连接的建立、修改和删除,传输管理装置可以由SMF和PGW-C两种装置构成的,也可以是具有SMF和PGW-C的功能的一种装置。
其中,非漫游场景表示归属网络为UE提供服务。归属路由的漫游场景表示归属网络的网关(h-SMF+PGW-C和h-UPF+PGW-U)漫游接入,指漫游用户通过归属网络的网关H-PGW接入获取归属网络提供的业务。本地疏导的漫游场景表示漫游用户通过拜访网络的网关(v-SMF+PGW-C和v-UPF+PGW-U)接入获取相应的业务,业务的提供者可以是归属网络,也可以是拜访网络。
在一种可能的实施方式中,传输管理装置从PCF中获取该PDU会话的会话管理策略,该PDU会话管理策略中包括表示是否支持迁移到EPS的字段,例如:会话管理策略中包括EPS support indication的字段,在EPS support indication的值为“1”表示支持PDU会话支持迁移到EPS;EPS support indication的值为“0”表示PDU会话不支持迁移到EPS。
在一种可能的实施方式中,传输管理装置获取PDU会话的用户面安全执行信息包括:SMF+PGW-C预存储或预配置有PDU会话标识和用户面安全执行信息之间的映射关系,SMF+PGW-C根据该映射关系确定PDU会话标识对应的用户面安全执行信息;或SMF+PGW-C在UDM中获取签约的用户面安全策略,用户面安全策略包括用户面安全执行信息;或SMF+PGW-C从PCF中获取对应的用户面安全执行信息。
在一种可能的实施方式中,传输管理装置获取EPS的用户面加密保护信息包括:传输管理装置预存储或预配置EPS的用户面加密保护信息,SMF在本地获取EPS的用户面加密保护信息;或传输管理装置接收来自EPS中的MME发送的EPS的用户面加密保护信息;或传输管理装置接收来自PCRF的EPS的用户面加密保护信息。
其中,传输管理装置判断PDU会话的用户面安全执行信息和EPS的用户面加密保护信息是否匹配,其实质是,EPS的用户面安全能力能否满足PDU会话的用户面安全需求。如果PDU会话的用户面安全执行信息和EPS的用户面加密保护信息是匹配的,表示EPS的用户面安全能力满足PDU会话的用户面安全需求;如果PDU会话的用户面安全执行信息和EPS的用户面加密保护信息是不匹配的,表示EPS的用户面安全能力不满足PDU会话的用户面安全需求。
在一种可能的实施方式中,PDU会话的用户面安全执行信息包括完整性保护需求信息和加密需求信息,EPS的用户面加密保护信息包括:用户面加密激活信息。
当PDU会话的用户面安全需求信息表示PDU会话未被完整性保护,以及EPS的用户面加密保护信息表示EPS已激活用户面加密时,PDU会话的用户面安全执行信息和EPS的用户面加密保护信息是匹配的。
例如:完整性保护需求信息包括三种形式:required、preferred和not needed, required表示PDU会话需要被完整性保护,preferred表示PDU会话优先被完整性保护,not needed表示PDU会话不需要进行完整性保护,完整性保护需求信息可以用比特位来表示,比特位不同的值对应不同的完整性保护需求信息。加密保护需求信息包括三种形式:required、preferred和not needed,required表示PDU会话需求被加密,preferred表示PDU会话优先被加密,not needed表示PDU会话不需要被加密,加密需求信息可以用比特位来表示,比特位不同的值用来表示不同的加密需求信息。用户面加密激活信息包括两种形式:activated和unactivated。当传输管理装置确定完整性保护需求信息为not needed,以及加密需求信息为not needed,传输管理装置不需要再解析用户面加密保护信息,即无论用户面加密激活信息为activated还是unactivated,传输管理装置可直接判断PDU会话的用户面安全执行信息和EPS的用户面加密保护信息是匹配的。
在又一种可能的实施方式中,当完整性保护需求信息表示PDU会话未被完整性保护,加密需求信息表示PDU会话被加密,以及用户加密激活信息表示EPS已激活用户面加密时,PDU会话的用户面安全执行信息和EPS的用户面加密保护信息是匹配的。
例如:完整性保护需求信息包括三种形式:required、preferred和not needed,required表示PDU会话需要被完整性保护,preferred表示PDU会话优先被完整性保护,not needed表示PDU会话不需要进行完整性保护,完整性保护需求信息可以用比特位来表示,比特位不同的值对应不同的完整性保护需求信息。加密保护需求信息包括三种形式:required、preferred和not needed,required表示PDU会话需求被加密,preferred表示PDU会话优先被加密,not needed表示PDU会话不需要被加密,加密需求信息可以用比特位来表示,比特位不同的值用来表示不同的加密需求信息。用户面加密激活信息包括两种形式:activated和unactivated。当传输管理装置确定完整性保护需求信息为not needed,加密需求信息为required,以及用户面加密激活信息为activated,传输管理装置判断PDU会话的用户面安全执行信息和EPS的用户面加密保护信息是匹配的。
在又一种可能的实施方式中,PDU会话的用户面安全执行信息包括:完整性保护需求信息;
当完整性需求信息表示所述PDU会话被完整性保护时,PDU会话的用户面安全执行信息和所述EPS的用户面加密保护信息是不匹配的。
例如:完整性保护需求信息包括三种形式:required、preferred和not needed,required表示PDU会话需要被完整性保护,preferred表示PDU会话优先被完整性保护,not needed表示PDU会话不需要进行完整性保护,完整性保护需求信息可以用比特位来表示,比特位不同的值对应不同的完整性保护需求信息。加密保护需求信息包括三种形式:required、preferred和not needed,required表示PDU会话需求被加密,preferred表示PDU会话优先被加密,not needed表示PDU会话不需要被加密,加密需求信息可以用比特位来表示,比特位不同的值用来表示不同的加密需求信息。用户面加密激活信息包括两种形式:activated和unactivated。由于EPS的用户面不支持完整性保护,当完整性保护需求信息为required时,传输管理装置无需再解析加密保护需求信息和用户面加密激活信息,即可直接判断PDU会话的用户面安全执行信息和EPS的用户面加密保护信息是不匹配的。
S203、传输管理装置向接入管理装置发送EBI分配请求信息,接入管理装置接收来自传输管理装置的EBI分配请求信息。
具体的,传输管理装置确定PDU会话的用户面安全执行信息和EPS的用户面加密保护信息匹配时,传输管理装置向接入管理装置发送EBI分配请求信息,EBI分配请求信息携带PDU会话标识,该PDU会话标识表示PDU会话的身份标识,接入管理装置接收到来自传输管理装置发送的EBI分配请求信息,接入管理装置确定EPS中存在可用的EBI时,将可用的EBI分配给EPS承载;在EPS中不存在可用的EBI时,接入管理装置发起EBI释放流程,释放先前分配的EBI,然后再将EBI分配给EPS承载。接入管理装置向SMF+PGW-C发送EBI分配响应,如果成功为EPS承载分配EBI,EBI分配响应中携带分配的EBI;若没有成功为EPS分配EBI,EBI分配响应中携带分配失败的原因值。接入管理装置可以是5GS中的AMF。
其中,本实施例中,传输管理装置向接入管理装置发送EBI分配请求信息的判断条件不限于只包括S201所述的判断条件,还可以包括一个或多个其他判断条件,例如:其他判断条件为PDU会话的数据网络名(data network name,DNN)为本地数据网络(local area data network,LADN),即同时满足PDU会话的用户面安全执行信息和EPS的用户面安全保护信息是匹配的,以及PDU会话的DNN为LADN时,传输管理装置才会向接入管理装置发送EBI分配请求信息。
在一种可能的实施方式中,在PDU会话的用户面安全执行信息和EPS的用户面加密保护信息不匹配的情况下,传输管理装置不向接入管理装置发送EBI分配请求,即只有在PDU会话的用户面安全执行信息和EPS的用户面加密保护信息匹配的情况下传输管理装置向接入管理装置发送EBI分配请求,避免EPS的用户面安全能力不满足PDU会话的需求,造成EBI资源的浪费和信令流程的开销。
参见图3,图3是本发明实施例提供的一种EBI分配方法的又一流程示意图,在本发明实施例中,所述方法包括:
S301、接入管理装置接收来自传输管理装置发送的EBI分配请求信息,接入管理装置接收来自传输管理装置发送的EBI分配请求信息。

S302、接入管理装置判断PDU会话的用户面安全执行信息和EPS的用户面加密保护信息是匹配的。
具体的,接入管理装置获取PDU会话的用户面安全执行信息,以及获取EPS的用户面加密保护信息,PDU会话的用户面安全执行信息和EPS的用户面加密保护信息匹配表示EPS的用户面安全能力满足PDU会话的安全需求。
在一种可能的实施方式中,接入管理装置获取该PDU会话的用户面安全执行信息包括:接入管理装置预存储或预配置有PDU会话标识和用户面安全执行信息之间的映射关系,AMF根据EBI分配请求中的PDU会话标识确定对应的用户面安全执行信息;或AMF从PCF中获取PDU会话标识对应的用户面安全执行信息;或AMF从SMF中获取PDU会话标识对应的用户面安全执行信息。
在一种可能的实施方式中,接入管理装置获取EPS的用户面加密保护信息包括:接入管理装置预存储或预配置有EPS的用户面加密保护信息;或接入管理装置接收来自MME发送的EPS的用户面加密保护信息。
其中,接入管理装置判断PDU会话的用户面安全执行信息和EPS的用户面加密保护信息是否匹配,其实质是,EPS的用户面安全能力能否满足PDU会话的用户面安全需求。如果PDU会话的用户面安全执行信息和EPS的用户面加密保护信息是匹配的,表示EPS的用户面安全能力满足PDU会话的用户面安全需求;如果PDU会话的用户面安全执行信息和EPS的用户面加密保护信息是不匹配的,表示EPS的用户面安全能力不满足PDU会话的用户面安全需求。
