Description

规则下发、接收的方法及功能实体
本公开要求享有2018年11月09日提交的名称为“规则下发、接收的方法及功能实体”的中国专利申请CN201811328913.0的优先权,其全部内容通过引用并入本文中。
技术领域
本公开实施例涉及但不限于一种规则下发的方法、规则接收的方法、控制面功能实体、用户面功能实体和计算机可读存储介质。
背景技术
目前一些商用局点对业务的细分化程度已经非常高,达到了数百,甚至达到上千种。这就决定了用于计费与控制的规则数量相当庞大。在商用场景中,如果不启用PCRF(Policy and Charging Rules Function,策略与计费规则功能)或PCF(Policy Control function,策略控制功能),那么在PGW(PDN GateWay,公用数据网网关)或SMF(Session Management Function,会话管理功能)上就必须配置数量众多的本地规则。即使PCRF(PCF)使用预定义规则名、预定义规则组名涵盖所有规则,那其规则(组)名所指向的大量具体规则仍然需要在PGW(SMF)上配置,这是目前PGW(SMF)支持业务精细化的实际情况。PCRF(PCF)无法通过Sx(N7)口支持对这么多具体业务下发动态规则。
CU分离(Control and User Plane Separation,控制面、用户面分离)后,C面(Control Plane,控制面)的某个接入用户的大量规则如何通过Sx下发到U面(User Plane,用户面,也可称为媒体面)呢?如果通过PFCP(Packet Forwarding Control Plane,数据包转发控制平面)Session Establishment Request(会话建立请求)在用户接入时下发所有业务的规则,则大量的PDR(Packet Detection Rule,报文检测规则)(可能还包括大量的FAR(Forwarding Action Rule,转发行为规则)、URR(Usage Reporting Rule,用量上报规则)、QER(QoS Enforcement Rule,服务质量执行规则))将导致此信令编码长度巨大,对CU双方来说都是承重的负担,无法达到商用要求。而通过PFCP Session Modification Request(会话修改请求)分批下发规则,也将导致在CU之间造成大量信令报文的情况,也是无法接受的。

具体实施方式
下文中将结合附图对本公开的实施例进行详细说明。
在附图的流程图示出的步骤可以在诸如一组计算机可执行指令的计算机系统中执行。 并且,虽然在流程图中示出了逻辑顺序,但是在某些情况下,可以以不同于此处的顺序执行所示出或描述的步骤。
经过分析,可以发现C面在准备给U面下发业务规则的时候,C面其实并不知道用户即将和最终使用哪些业务,所以C面只能把尽量多的、或者所有业务的规则下发到U面,使得需要下发大量的规则。
在本公开实施例中,C面可以仅将常用业务的规则下发至U面,对于C面未下发给U面创建规则的业务(新业务),采取“按需分配”安装规则的策略,即用户使用这种业务了,再安装相关的规则(可以包括业务相关的PDR、FAR、URR、QER)。在一些情况下,C面也可以不下发常用业务的规则,即不指定常用业务。
如图1所示,本公开实施例的规则下发的方法,应用于控制器功能实体,包括:

通过本公开实施例,使得在CU分离的情况下,合理处理下发U面的用户规则,既可防止超长信令,又可避免使用大量CU之间信令,同时节省了C、U面的运行使用资源,提升了U面转发性能。避免了实际商用中业务划分较多情况下系统无法使用的情况,保证了用户业务的正常使用,保证了核心网对用户业务的正确计费与控制。
下面以一些应用实例进行说明。
应用实例1
如图8所示,应用实例1包括如下步骤:
步骤801,用户会话创建,C面向U面发起建立Sx(N4)会话请求。该用户业务细化程度高,规则多,如果全部一次安装到U面可能需要上百PDR规则。这里为了说明简便,假设用户常用的业务只有1个,即AppID1代表的业务,为此业务创建上下行PDR1、PDR2,其中PDR1的PDI包括Local(本地)F-TEID(Full Qualified Tunnel Endpoint Identifier,全量隧道端点标识)等隧道信息、Application ID(应用标识,这里就是AppID1),PDR2的PDI包括UE IP address、Application ID(这里就是AppID1)。上行转发使用FAR1,下行转发使用FAR2。AppID的业务使用URR1作为用量统计规则。为了探测其他非特定业务(即其他AppID),为此创建上下行PDRi、PDRj,其中PDRi的PDI包括Local F-TEID等隧道信息、无Application ID(即通配所有Application ID),PDRj的PDI包括UE IP address、无Application ID(即通配所有Application ID)。PDRi、PDRj的优先级低于特定AppID1业务的PDR1、PDR2。PDRi、PDRj关联URRn,URRn安装Start触发器,一旦报文匹配PDRi、PDRj即可触发探测到其他业务的Start上报,这里只要是AppID1以外的业务都可触发URRn的Start上报。为了在探测到新业务时候能将报文缓存,PDRi、PDRj关联有缓存操作的FAR规则,并有BAR规则指示具体的缓存参数,这些协议已有专门的说明,不再加以说明,后续实例中的新业务探测器同理关联缓存相关的FAR与BAR。
步骤802,会话建立响应,此时会话建立成功,会话与各PDR、FAR、URR关系如图8,这里简略了QER,原理相同。
步骤803,发起AppID1的业务流经过U面,匹配PDR1、PDR2并按相应的FAR1、FAR2、URR1规则执行。
步骤804,终端发起AppID2的业务流达到U面,U面具备应用识别功能,可识别此业务流为AppID2。匹配PDRi或PDRj,触发步骤805中URRn的Start上报,业务流报文被U面缓存。
步骤805,U面在发起URRn的Start上报时,在应用探测信息中填写Application ID为AppID2,并上报业务流信息。
步骤806,C面响应U面的会话上报请求。
步骤807,C面在步骤805收到URRn的Start上报时,已经感知到新业务AppID2 的来到,并知道AppID2的业务规则还没有下发给U面,于是在步骤806响应U面会话上报请求后,马上对U面发起会话修改请求。会话修改请求包括为AppID2业务创建上下行PDR3、PDR4,其中PDR3的PDI包括Local F-TEID等隧道信息、Application ID(这里就是AppID2),PDR4的PDI包括UE IP address、Application ID(这里就是AppID2)。PDR3、PDR4的优先级高于PDRi、PDRj。并为AppID2业务创建独立的用量统计规则URR2(也可以指向之前的URR1,这里只是为了说明方便,突出AppID2的特别之处),并为AppID2的业务的上下行转发指向原先的FAR1、FAR2,以表示AppID2的业务的上下行转发规则与AppID1相同。最后在这个会话修改请求中,还对URRn进行更新,恢复其Start触发器,以保证下次新的业务(AppID1、AppID2以外的业务)到来时,同样可以触发URRn的Start上报。
步骤808,U面响应C面发起的会话修改请求,此时这个会话中各规则的关系如图8。PDR3、PDR4已经成功安装,优先级高于PDRi、PDRj。URR2也安装成功并被关联到AppID2业务的PDR下。PDRi、PDRj以及URRn像步骤802后的流程那样,继续探测着那些未使用、未安装规则的业务。
步骤809,U面释放步骤804中缓存的报文,重新按会话下的规则执行,这些AppID2的报文将匹配PDR3、PDR4,并被URR2进行用量统计。后续AppID2业务将有规则可依,不再需要请求C面安装规则。

步骤901,C面收到会话创建请求。
步骤902,C面向PCRF(PCF)发起CCR(I)(Credit Control Request,信用控制请求)(类型为初始请求)。
步骤903,PCRF(PCF)响应CCA(I),并在CCA(I)中下发预定义规则组名,这个预定义规则组名对应C面配置的99条预定义规则,每条预定义规则为特定业务(指定AppID)的计费控制策略。
步骤904,C面收到CCA(I),根据预定义规则组名找到用户的99条预定义规则,从配置指定中选择其中常用两种业务的预定义规则(这里常用业务为AppID1、AppID2), 将其转化为N4(Sx)口规则通过Session Establishment(会话建立)请求下发给U面,PDR1、PDR2、PDR3、PDR4分别代表AppID1、AppID2业务的上下行PDR,指定他们的转发规则FAR1、FAR2,指定他们的用量统计URR1。同时下发PDRi、PDRj作为新业务探测器,URRn为其Start触发器。
步骤905,U面响应C面的Session Establishment请求。

步骤912,C面在第910步收到URRn的Start上报时,已经感知到新业务AppID3的来到,并知道AppID3的业务规则还没有下发给U面,于是在第911步响应U面会话上报请求后,马上对U面发起会话修改请求。会话修改请求包括为AppID3业务创建上下行PDR5、PDR6。PDR5、PDR6的优先级高于PDRi、PDRj。并为AppID3业务创建独立的用量统计规则URR2,有关AppID3的转发规则FAR可依具体业务特性指定,这里不再特别说明。最后在这个会话修改请求中,还对URRn进行更新,恢复其Start触发器,以保证下次新的业务(AppID1、AppID2、AppID3以外的业务)到来时,同样可以触发URRn的Start上报。
步骤913,U面响应C面发起的会话修改请求。
步骤914,U面释放步骤909中缓存的报文,重新按会话下的规则执行,这些AppID3的报文将匹配PDR5、PDR6,并被URR2进行用量统计。
步骤915,后续AppID3的业务流将有规则可依,不再需要请求C面安装规则,顺利通过U面。
步骤916,终端发起非常用业务AppID4,上下行匹配PDRi、PDRj,触发步骤917,报文被缓存。
步骤917,新业务探测器发现新业务AppID4到达,U面向C面发起Session Report请求,上报URRn的Start触发,包括探测信息Application ID为AppID4和流信息。
步骤918,C面响应U面的Session Report请求。
步骤919,C面在第917步收到URRn的Start上报时,已经感知到新业务AppID4的来到,并知道AppID4的业务规则还没有下发给U面,于是在第918步响应U面会话上报请求后,马上对U面发起会话修改请求。会话修改请求包括为AppID4业务创建上下行PDR7、PDR8。PDR7、PDR8的优先级高于PDRi、PDRj。并为AppID4业务创建独立的用量统计规则URR3。最后在这个会话修改请求中,还对URRn进行更新,恢复其Start触发器,以保证下次新的业务(AppID1、AppID2、AppID3、AppID4以外的业务)到来时,同样可以触发URRn的Start上报。
步骤920,U面响应C面发起的会话修改请求。
步骤921,U面释放步骤916中缓存的报文,重新按会话下的规则执行,这些AppID4的报文将匹配PDR7、PDR8,并被URR3进行用量统计。
步骤922,后续AppID4的业务流将有规则可依,不再需要请求C面安装规则,顺利通过U面。
应用实例3
如图10所示,应用实例3包括如下步骤:
步骤1001,C面收到会话创建请求。
步骤1002,C面向OCS发起CCR(I)鉴权请求。
步骤1003,OCS响应CCA(I),指示鉴权成功,允许接入。
步骤1004,C面向U面发起Session Establishment请求。这里为了说明简单,不下发常用业务的规则,即没有常用业务,只下发新业务探测器PDRi、PDRj和Start触发器URRn。
步骤1005,U面响应C面的Session Establishment请求。
步骤1006,C面响应会话创建请求成功。
步骤1007,终端发起AppID1业务,上下行匹配PDRi、PDRj,触发步骤1008,报文被缓存。
步骤1008,新业务探测器发现新业务AppID1到达,U面向C面发起Session Report请求,上报URRn的Start触发,包括探测信息Application ID为AppID1和流信息。
步骤1009,C面响应U面的Session Report请求。
步骤1010,C面在第1008步收到URRn的Start上报时,已经感知到新业务AppID1的来到,并知道AppID1的业务规则还没有下发给U面。同时根据C面配置的规则,该业务在计费策略上归属RatingGroup1费率组,而RatingGroup1还没有经过OCS配额授权。于是C面向OCS发起CCR(U)(类型为更新请求)为RatingGroup1请求配额授权。
步骤1011,OCS响应C面的配额请求,在CCA(U)中授予配额,允许用户使用RatingGroup1业务。
步骤1012,根据步骤1010中C面可获取的AppID1的本地策略,加上步骤1011中C面从OCS获取的RatingGroup1配额授权,C面可以下发AppID1对应的全部规则了。于是C面向U面发起会话修改请求,为AppID1业务创建上下行PDR1、PDR2,并为RatingGroup1创建URR1用于包括AppID1业务在内的RatingGroup1业务进行用量统计、配额控制,PDR1、PDR2关联URR1。最后在这个会话修改请求中,还对URRn进行更新,恢复其Start触发器,以保证下次新的业务(AppID1以外的业务)到来时,同样可以触发URRn的Start上报。
步骤1013,U面响应C面发起的会话修改请求。
步骤1014,U面释放步骤1007中缓存的报文,重新按会话下的规则执行,这些AppID1的报文将匹配PDR1、PDR2,并被URR1进行用量统计。
步骤1015,后续AppID1的业务流将有规则可依,不再需要请求C面安装规则,顺利通过U面。
步骤1016,终端发起AppID2业务,上下行匹配PDRi、PDRj,触发步骤1017,报文被缓存。
步骤1017,新业务探测器发现新业务AppID2到达,U面向C面发起Session Report请求,上报URRn的Start触发,包括探测信息Application ID为AppID2和流信息。
步骤1018,C面响应U面的Session Report请求。
步骤1019,C面在第1017步收到URRn的Start上报时,已经感知到新业务AppID2的来到,并知道AppID2的业务规则还没有下发给U面。同时根据C面配置的规则,该业务在计费策略上归属RatingGroup2费率组,而RatingGroup2还没有经过OCS配额授权。于是C面向OCS发起CCR(U)为RatingGroup2请求配额授权。
步骤1020,OCS响应C面的配额请求,在CCA(U)中授予配额,允许用户使用RatingGroup2业务。
步骤1021,根据步骤1019中C面可获取的AppID2的本地策略,加上步骤1020中C面从OCS获取的RatingGroup2配额授权,C面可以下发AppID2对应的全部规则了。于是C面向U面发起会话修改请求,为AppID2业务创建上下行PDR3、PDR4,并为RatingGroup2创建URR2用于包括AppID2业务在内的RatingGroup2业务进行用量统计、配额控制,PDR3、PDR4关联URR2。最后在这个会话修改请求中,还对URRn进行更新,恢复其Start触发器,以保证下次新的业务(AppID1、AppID2以外的业务)到来时,同样可以触发URRn的Start上报。
步骤1022,U面响应C面发起的会话修改请求。
步骤1023,U面释放步骤1016中缓存的报文,重新按会话下的规则执行,这些AppID2的报文将匹配PDR3、PDR4,并被URR2进行用量统计。

步骤1025,终端发起AppID3业务,上下行匹配PDRi、PDRj,触发步骤1026,报文被缓存。
步骤1026,新业务探测器发现新业务AppID3到达,U面向C面发起Session Report请求,上报URRn的Start触发,包括探测信息Application ID为AppID3和流信息。
步骤1027,C面响应U面的Session Report请求。
步骤1028,C面在第1026步收到URRn的Start上报时,已经感知到新业务AppID3的来到,并知道AppID3的业务规则还没有下发给U面。同时根据C面配置的规则,该业务在计费策略上归属RatingGroup1费率组,而RatingGroup1已经经过OCS配额授权,因此C面已经可以下发AppID3对应的全部规则了。于是C面向U面发起会话修改请求,为AppID3业务创建上下行PDR5、PDR6,并关联URR1。最后在这个会话修改请求中, 还对URRn进行更新,恢复其Start触发器,以保证下次新的业务(AppID1、AppID2、AppID3以外的业务)到来时,同样可以触发URRn的Start上报。
步骤1029,U面响应C面发起的会话修改请求。
步骤1030,U面释放步骤1025中缓存的报文,重新按会话下的规则执行,这些AppID3的报文将匹配PDR5、PDR6,并被URR1进行用量统计。
步骤1031,后续AppID3的业务流将有规则可依,不再需要请求C面安装规则,顺利通过U面。

步骤1102,C面向PCRF(PCF)发起CCR(I)请求。
步骤1103,PCRF(PCF)响应CCA(I)成功。
步骤1104,C面收到CCA(I),根据PCRF的下发参数与本地配置情况,给U面发起Session Establishment请求,安装相关规则(包括新业务探测器),这里安装的规则都归属默认承载。安装内容类似应用实例2中步骤904。
步骤1105,U面响应C面的Session Establishment请求。
步骤1106,C面响应会话创建请求成功。
步骤1107,终端使用默认承载发起相关业务,可以是已经安装规则的业务,也可以是没有安装规则的业务。

步骤1111,C面向前端网元发送创建承载请求。
步骤1112,C面收到前端网元的创建承载响应。
步骤1113,C面向U面发起会话修改请求,这里C面根据指定可选得为专有承载指定一个常用业务,即AppID1代表的业务,为此业务创建上下行PDR21、PDR22,其中PDR21的PDI包括Local F-TEID等隧道信息、SDF(即专载的流消息描述)、Application ID(这里就是AppID1),PDR22的PDI包括UE IP address、SDF(即专载的流信息描述)、Application ID(这里就是AppID1)。专载AppID的业务使用URR21作为用量统计规则。为了探测专载其他业务(即其他AppID),为此创建上下行PDR2i、PDR2j,其中PDR2i的PDI包括Local F-TEID等隧道信息、SDF(即专载的流信息描述)、无Application ID(即通配所有Application ID),PDR2j的PDI包括UE IP address、SDF(即专载的流消息描述)、无Application ID(即通配所有Application ID)。PDR2i、PDR2j的优先级低于专载AppID1业务的PDR21、PDR22,但高于所有默认承载的PDR优先级。创建URR2n作为新业务探测器的Start触发器
步骤1114,U面响应C面的会话修改请求。
步骤1115,终端通过专有承载发起AppID1的业务,匹配PDR21、PDR22,用量统计入URR21。业务正常使用。
步骤1116,终端通过专有承载发起AppID2的业务,匹配PDR2i、PDR2j,触发步骤1117,报文被缓存。

步骤1118,C面响应U面的Session Report请求。
步骤1119,C面在第1117步收到URR2n的Start上报时,已经感知到新业务AppID2的来到,并知道AppID2的业务规则还没有下发给U面,于是在第1118步响应U面会话上报请求后,马上对U面发起会话修改请求。会话修改请求包括为AppID2业务创建上下行PDR23、PDR24。PDR23、PDR24的优先级高于PDR2i、PDR2j。并为AppID2业务创建独立的用量统计规则URR22。最后在这个会话修改请求中,还对URR2n进行更新,恢复其Start触发器,以保证专载下次新的业务(AppID1、AppID2以外的业务)到来时,同样可以触发URR2n的Start上报。

步骤1202,C面向PCRF(PCF)发起的某次CCR(U)请求。
步骤1203,PCRF(PCF)响应C面的CCR(U)请求,在响应的CCA(U)中下发一个动态规则,此动态规则使用流描述信息指定默认承载上的某些业务,并要求符合此流描述信息的业务做特殊处理。但此动态规则只指定了部分规则,对例如计费方式等没有指定。
步骤1204,C面收到CCA(U)后,按PCRF(PCF)的指示安装动态规则,但发现这个动态规则指定的流描述信息所指的具体业务无法确定(即无法确定唯一的AppID),这样就无法根据AppID获得C面配置的计费方式等信息,也就无法补充动态规则中未指示的部分规则信息,也就无法下发完整规则给U面。所以指示U面为此动态规则创建新业务探测器,先探测具体业务,后安装完整规则。于是向U面发起修改会话请求,创建上下行PDR2i、PDR2j,其中PDR2i的PDI包括Local F-TEID等隧道信息、SDF(即动态规则的流信息描述)、无Application ID(即通配所有Application ID),PDR2j的PDI包括UE IP address、SDF(即动态规则的流信息描述)、无Application ID(即通配所有Application ID)。PDR2i、PDR2j的优先级高于所有默认承载上通配SDF(或者没有SDF)的PDR优先级。PDR2i、PDR2j也属于默认承载的PDR,只是优先级相对较高。创建URR2n作为新业务探测器的Start触发器。
步骤1205,U面响应C面的会话修改请求。
步骤1206,终端发起符合动态规则流描述信息的AppID1业务,匹配PDR2i、PDR2j, 触发步骤1207,报文被缓存。
步骤1207,动态规则的新业务探测器发现新业务AppID1到达,U面向C面发起Session Report请求,上报URR2n的Start触发,包括探测信息Application ID为AppID1和流信息。
步骤1208,C面响应U面的Session Report请求。
步骤1209,C面在第1207步收到URR2n的Start上报时,已经感知到动态规则中新业务AppID1的来到,并知道动态规则中AppID1的业务规则还没有下发给U面,于是在第1208步响应U面会话上报请求后,马上对U面发起会话修改请求。会话修改请求包括为动态规则中AppID1业务创建上下行PDR21、PDR22。PDR21、PDR22的优先级高于PDR2i、PDR2j。因用量统计归属默认承载同业务,所以PDR21、PDR22关联URR1,即并入同承载AppID1的用量统计。最后在这个会话修改请求中,还对URR2n进行更新,恢复其Start触发器,以保证这个动态规则下次新的业务(AppID1以外的业务)到来时,同样可以触发URR2n的Start上报。
步骤1210,U面响应C面发起的会话修改请求。
步骤1211,U面释放步骤1206中缓存的报文,重新按会话下的规则执行,这些符合动态规则的AppID1的报文将匹配PDR21、PDR22,并被URR1进行用量统计。
步骤1212,后续符合动态规则流描述信息的AppID1业务流将有规则可依,不再需要请求C面安装规则,顺利通过U面。
步骤1213,终端发起符合动态规则流描述信息的AppID2业务,匹配PDR2i、PDR2j,触发步骤1214,报文被缓存。
步骤1214,动态规则的新业务探测器发现新业务AppID2到达,U面向C面发起Session Report请求,上报URR2n的Start触发,包括探测信息Application ID为AppID2和流信息。
步骤1215,C面响应U面的Session Report请求。
步骤1216,C面在第1214步收到URR2n的Start上报时,已经感知到动态规则中新业务AppID2的来到,并知道动态规则中AppID2的业务规则还没有下发给U面,于是在第1215步响应U面会话上报请求后,马上对U面发起会话修改请求。会话修改请求包括为动态规则中AppID2业务创建上下行PDR23、PDR24。PDR23、PDR24的优先级高于 PDR2i、PDR2j。因用量统计归属默认承载同业务,所以PDR23、PDR24关联URR2,即并入同承载AppID2的用量统计。最后在这个会话修改请求中,还对URR2n进行更新,恢复其Start触发器,以保证这个动态规则下次新的业务(AppID1、AppID2以外的业务)到来时,同样可以触发URR2n的Start上报。
步骤1217,U面响应C面发起的会话修改请求。
步骤1218,U面释放步骤1213中缓存的报文,重新按会话下的规则执行,这些符合动态规则的AppID2的报文将匹配PDR23、PDR24,并被URR2进行用量统计。
步骤1219,后续符合动态规则流描述信息的AppID2业务流将有规则可依,不再需要请求C面安装规则,顺利通过U面。
