技术领域Technical field
本发明涉及通信技术领域,特别涉及一种基于4/5G互切场景下PCF+PCRF选择方法、AMF、BSF及存储介质。The present invention relates to the field of communication technologies, and in particular, to a PCF + PCRF selection method, AMF, BSF, and storage medium based on a 4 / 5G mutual switching scenario.
背景技术Background technique
随着通信技术的发展,移动通信网络正在由第四代(简称4G)演进到第五代(简称5G)。但5G接入网(NG-RAN,Next Generation Radio Access Network,下一代无线接入网)目前还难以实现全覆盖,5G接入网和4G接入网E-UTRAN(Evolved Universal Terrestrial Radio Access Network,演进的通用陆地无线接入网)将长期共存,UE(User Equipment,用户设备)可以同时支持5G和4G接入,并支持在这两种接入方式间平滑切换。为了保证UE切换接入方式时的业务连续性。4/5G核心网中的部分网元需要融合部署,如图1所示的非漫游场景下的4/5G的架构图,如图2所示的本地疏导漫游场景下的4/5G的架构图,以及图3所示的家乡路由漫游场景下的4/5G的架构图,三种场景下需要融合部署的部分网元均包括:With the development of communication technology, mobile communication networks are evolving from the fourth generation (4G for short) to the fifth generation (5G for short). However, 5G access network (NG-RAN, Next Generation Radio Access Network, next generation wireless access network) is still difficult to achieve full coverage, 5G access network and 4G access network E-UTRAN (Evolved Universal Terrestrial Radio Access Network, The evolved universal terrestrial radio access network) will coexist for a long time, and the UE (User Equipment) can support 5G and 4G access at the same time, and support smooth switching between these two access methods. To ensure service continuity when the UE switches access modes. Some network elements in the 4 / 5G core network need to be integrated and deployed, as shown in the architecture diagram of 4 / 5G in the non-roaming scenario shown in Figure 1, and the architecture diagram of 4 / 5G in the local grooming roaming scenario shown in Figure 2. , And the 4 / 5G architecture diagram in the hometown routing roaming scenario shown in Figure 3, some network elements that need to be deployed in the three scenarios include:
4G核心网的HSS(Home Subscriber Server,归属签约用户服务器)和5G核心网的UDM(Unified Data Management,统一数据管理)融合部署,称融合HSS+UDM,提供HSS和UDM的全部外部标准接口,融合功能的HSS部分和UDM部分间有内部交互。The HSS (Home Subscriber Server) of the 4G core network and the UDM (Unified Data Management) of the 5G core network are integrated and deployed. It is called Fusion HSS + UDM, which provides all external standard interfaces of HSS and UDM. There is internal interaction between the functional HSS part and the UDM part.
4G核心网的PCRF(Policy&Charging Control Function,策略与计费规则功能)和5G核心网的PCF(Policy Control Function,策略控制功能)融合部署,称PCF+PCRF(包括位于拜访网络的V-PCF+V-PCRF和位于归属网络的H-PCF+H-PCRF)。The 4G core network's PCRF (Policy & Charging Control Function) and the 5G core's PCF (Policy Control Function) are integrated and deployed, which is called PCF + PCRF (including V-PCF + V located in the visited network) -PCRF and H-PCF + H-PCRF located in the home network).
4G核心网的PGW-C(PDN Gateway Control Plane分组数据网网关控制面)和5G核心网的SMF(Session Management Function,会话管理功能)融合部署,称SMF+PGW-C。The 4G core network's PGW-C (PDN Gateway Control Plane Packet Data Network Gateway Control Plane) and the 5G core network's SMF (Session Management Function, Session Management Function) are integrated and deployed, which is called SMF + PGW-C.
4G核心网的PGW-U(PDN Gateway User Plane,分组数据网网关用户面)和5G核心网的UPF(User Plan Function,用户面功能)融合部署,称UPF+PGW-U。The PGW-U (PDN Gateway User Plane) of the 4G core network and the UPF (User Plan Function) of the 5G core network are integrated and deployed, which is called UPF + PGW-U.
4G的MME(Mobility Management Entity,移动性管理实体)和5G的AMF(Access and Mobility Management Function,接入和移动性管理功能)功能类似,负责UE接入和移动性管理。UE需要先注册到MME或AMF,然后才能在PGW-C或SMF上建立会话。4G's MME (Mobility Management Entity, Mobility Management Entity) and 5G's AMF (Access and Mobility Management Function, Access and Mobility Management Function) have similar functions and are responsible for UE access and mobility management. The UE needs to register with the MME or AMF before establishing a session on the PGW-C or SMF.
5G的AMF可以在UE注册或切换到该AMF时,向PCF请求非会话管理相关的控制策略,包括需要AMF执行的AMRP(Access and Mobility related Policy,接入和移动性相关策略),以及通知AMF透传给UE执行的URSP(UE Routing Selection Policy,UE路由选择策略)及ANDSP(Access Network Discovery and Selection Policy,接入网发现和选择策略)。相比之下,4G的MME没有从PCRF获取控制策略的功能。5G AMF can request non-session management related control policies from the PCF when the UE registers or switches to the AMF, including AMRP (Access and Mobility related Policy) that needs to be executed by the AMF, and notify the AMF It is transparently transmitted to the UE's URP (UE Routing Selection Policy) and ANDSP (Access Network Discovery and Selection Policy) implemented by the UE. In contrast, the 4G MME does not have the function of obtaining the control strategy from the PCRF.
当PGW-C或SMF收到源自UE的会话建立请求时,PGW-C或SMF可以向PCRF或PCF请求该会话的控制策略,用于对会话实施QoS(QoS Control,质量控制)、计费控制(Charging Control)、流量转向控制(Traffic Steering Control)、用量监控(Usage Monitoring)等。When the PGW-C or SMF receives a session establishment request from the UE, the PGW-C or SMF can request a control policy for the session from the PCRF or PCF, which is used to implement QoS (Quality Control), charging for the session Control (Charging, Control), flow steering control (Traffic Steering, Control), usage monitoring (Usage, Monitoring) and so on.
一个5G核心网中可以部署多个PCF,AMF可以本地配置每个PCF地址及选择方法,或者通过NRF(Network Repository Function,网络仓库功能)发现PCF,后者要求每个PCF先将自己的标识、地址和选择方法注册到NRF。Multiple PCFs can be deployed in a 5G core network. The AMF can configure each PCF address and selection method locally, or discover the PCF through NRF (Network Repository Function, Network Warehouse Function), which requires each PCF to first identify itself, The address and selection method are registered with the NRF.
在4G网络中,PGW-C可以本地配置PCRF地址及选择方法,或将请求发送给DRA(Diameter Routing Agent,Diameter路由代理)。其中,Diameter是一种认证、授权及计费协议,PCRF和PGW-C之间的接口使用了基于Diameter协议的消息,DRA可以转发基于Diameter协议的消息,由DRA选择PCRF。在5G网络中,SMF可以本地配置PCRF地址及选择方法,也可以通过NRF发现PCF,还可以由AMF告诉SMF该AMF为某UE所选的PCF,然后SMF为会话选择相同的PCF。In a 4G network, the PGW-C can configure the PCRF address and selection method locally, or send a request to a DRA (Diameter Routing Agent). Among them, Diameter is an authentication, authorization and accounting protocol. The interface between PCRF and PGW-C uses messages based on the Diameter protocol. The DRA can forward messages based on the Diameter protocol, and the DRA selects the PCRF. In a 5G network, the SMF can configure the PCRF address and selection method locally, or discover the PCF through NRF. The AMF can also tell the SMF that the AMF selects the PCF selected for a UE, and then the SMF selects the same PCF for the session.
此外,AMF可以将所选择的PCF标识保存在本地的UE上下文中,当UE在5G接入网间移动时,AMF可能发生切换,新AMF从旧AMF获取UE上下文,从而可以选中相同的PCF。In addition, the AMF can save the selected PCF identity in the local UE context. When the UE moves between 5G access networks, the AMF may switch. The new AMF obtains the UE context from the old AMF, so that the same PCF can be selected.
针对一个UE,如果其非会话管理相关策略和会话管理相关策略之间不存在关联性,AMF和SMF可以选择不同的PCF。但如果存在关联性,AMF和SMF如果不选择相同的PCF,则难以实现非会话管理相关策略和会话管理相关策略协同。例如,PCF要求SMF对会话实施用量监控,用量达到设定门限后通知PCF,PCF据此调整下发给AMF的接入 和移动性相关策略。又例如,PCF根据AMF上报的用户位置,调整对SMF的会话QoS控制等,非会话管理相关策略和会话管理相关策略之间均存在关联性。For a UE, if there is no correlation between its non-session management related policies and session management related policies, AMF and SMF can choose different PCFs. However, if there is correlation, if AMF and SMF do not choose the same PCF, it is difficult to achieve non-session management related policies and session management related policies. For example, the PCF requires the SMF to monitor usage of the session, and notify the PCF when the usage reaches a set threshold, and the PCF adjusts the access and mobility related policies issued to the AMF accordingly. For another example, the PCF adjusts the session QoS control of the SMF according to the user location reported by the AMF, and there is an association between the non-session management related policies and the session management related policies.
为了保证AMF和SMF选择到相同的PCF,现有技术定义了5G接入时AMF将所选PCF标识传递给SMF的方法。为了保证AMF切换时新旧AMF能选到相同的PCF,现有技术定义了在AMF切换时,新AMF可以从旧AMF获取已选择的PCF标识的方法。但UE从4G接入切换到5G切入前,SMF+PGW-C已为UE会话选择了某个PCF+PCRF,这时可能反过来要求切换后的AMF选择到相同的PCF+PCRF,但由于MME不需要和PCF+PCRF交互,AMF无法从MME提供的UE上下文中获取已选择的PCF+PCRF,这可能导致AMF选择到不同的PCF+PCRF,并进一步导致PCF+PCRF对AMF的策略控制和对SMF+PGW-C的策略控制无法关联。In order to ensure that the AMF and the SMF select the same PCF, the prior art defines a method for the AMF to pass the selected PCF identity to the SMF during 5G access. In order to ensure that the new and old AMFs can select the same PCF when the AMF is switched, the existing technology defines a method in which the new AMF can obtain the selected PCF identity from the old AMF when the AMF is switched. However, before the UE switches from 4G access to 5G cut-in, SMF + PGW-C has selected a PCF + PCRF for the UE session. At this time, the AMF after the switch may be requested to select the same PCF + PCRF, but due to the MME There is no need to interact with PCF + PCRF. AMF cannot obtain the selected PCF + PCRF from the UE context provided by the MME. This may cause AMF to select a different PCF + PCRF, and further cause PCF + PCRF to control AMF's policy and control the AMF. The policy control of SMF + PGW-C cannot be related.
如图4所示,5G核心网引入了BSF(Binding Support Function),用于AF(Application Function)寻址PCF。SMF为UE请求建立的会话向PCF请求策略控制时,向PCF提供UE的用户标识、用户IP地址等信息,PCF将绑定信息(用户标识、用户IP地址、所选的PCF标识)注册到BSF。之后UE通过此会话访问AF上的业务,AF可能需要为UE访问的业务向PCF请求策略授权,AF为此策略授权选择的PCF要和SMF为此会话选择的PCF保持一致,因为此策略授权一般会触发PCF调整针对SMF的关联会话的策略控制。AF可以根据用户IP地址或用户标识向BSF查询到对应的PCF,然后通过5G定义的N5接口直接向AF请求策略授权。4G核心网中,类似的,AF也要寻址PCRF,但采用了不同的技术,PGW和AF都将发给PCRF的初始请求消息交给DRA,由DRA寻址到相同PCRF。4G核心网中,PCRF和AF间的接口是Rx接口,和PGW间的接口是Gx接口,两者都是基于Diameter协议的接口;5G核心网中,PCF和AF间的接口是N5接口,和SMF间的接口是N7接口,两者都是基于HTTP的服务化接口。在支持4/5G互操作的融合核心网中,PCF+PCRF既要支持Rx接口,也要支持N5接口,因为UE可能访问存量AF(只支持Rx接口),也可能访问新的AF(支持N5接口),为此可以升级存量DRA,使其在收到存量AF的Rx接口请求消息时,能够查询BSF,寻址到正确的PCF+PCRF,或者引入BSF+DRA,替换存量DRA。但现有技术未考虑BSF向AMF提供寻址PCF功能,因此仍不能解决4G切换到5G时,AMF可能无法选择到SMF+PGW-C已选定的PCF+PCRF的问题。As shown in Figure 4, the 5G core network introduces BSF (Binding Support Function), which is used for AF (Application Function) addressing PCF. When the SMF requests policy control from the PCF for the session requested by the UE, the PCF is provided with the UE's user ID, user IP address, and other information. The PCF registers the binding information (user ID, user IP address, and selected PCF ID) with the BSF. . Then the UE accesses services on the AF through this session. The AF may need to request policy authorization from the PCF for the services accessed by the UE. The PCF selected by AF for this policy authorization must be consistent with the PCF selected by SMF for this session, because this policy authorization is generally It will trigger the PCF to adjust the policy control for the associated session of the SMF. The AF can query the corresponding PCF from the BSF according to the user IP address or user ID, and then request policy authorization directly from the AF through the N5 interface defined by 5G. In the 4G core network, the AF also needs to address the PCRF, but different technologies are used. Both the PGW and the AF pass the initial request message to the PCRF to the DRA, and the DRA addresses the same PCRF. In the 4G core network, the interface between PCRF and AF is an Rx interface, and the interface between PGW and GGW is an interface based on the Diameter protocol. In the 5G core network, the interface between PCF and AF is an N5 interface, and The interfaces between SMFs are N7 interfaces, both of which are service-based interfaces based on HTTP. In a 4 / 5G interoperable converged core network, PCF + PCRF must support both the Rx interface and the N5 interface, because the UE may access the stock AF (only the Rx interface is supported), or it may access the new AF (support N5 Interface), for this purpose, the stock DRA can be upgraded so that when receiving the Rx interface request message of stock AF, it can query the BSF, address to the correct PCF + PCRF, or introduce BSF + DRA to replace the stock DRA. However, the prior art does not consider that the BSF provides the addressing PCF function to the AMF, so it still cannot solve the problem that the AMF may not be able to select the PCF + PCRF selected by SMF + PGW-C when switching from 4G to 5G.
