Description

冗余协议数据单元会话的配置方法及装置 技术领域
本发明涉及通信领域,具体而言,涉及一种冗余PDU Session的配置方法及装置。

移动通信系统包括移动用户设备(User Equipment,UE)和网络设备(Network),其中网络设备又包括无线接入网(Radio Access Network,RAN)和核心网(Core Network,CN)。RAN包括:1个或多个小区组(Cell group),或1个或多个基站,或1个或多个节点B(Node B)。在5G系统中,CN是指5G核心网(5G Core),其包括:接入和移动管理功能(Access and Mobility Management Function,AMF)、用户面功能(User Plane Function,UPF)、系统管理功能(System Management Function,SMF)等网元。
在双连接系统中,UE与网络设备建立了2个或2个以上的连接。如图1所示,CN(核心网的UPF网元)与RAN的两个小区组分别建立了连接,此时的RAN包括主节点(Master node,MN)和辅节点(Secondary node,SN)。
在5G应用场景的研究报告3GPP TR23.725的Solution 1中提出了基于双连接的冗余用户面路径的方案。具体内容可见3GPP协议的描述,如图2所示。
UE启动建立2个冗余的会话(redundant PDU Session),并为每个会话配置不同的DNN和S-NSSAI组合。如图3所示。本发明是针对冗余的会话,所以在本发明中,将冗余的会话也简称为会话,即,本发明中的PDU Session指的是redundant PDU Session。

具体实施方式
下文中将参考附图并结合实施例来详细说明本发明。需要说明的是,在不冲突的情况下,本申请中的实施例及实施例中的特征可以相互组合。
需要说明的是,本发明的说明书和权利要求书及上述附图中的术语“第一”、“第二”等是用于区别类似的对象,而不必用于描述特定的顺序或先后次序。
在本实施例中提供了一种冗余PDU Session的配置方法,图1是根据本发明实施例的流程图,如图4所示,该流程包括如下步骤:
步骤S402,获取建立或修改PDU Session和/或QoS flow的冗余指示信息;
步骤S404,根据所述冗余指示信息,将冗余PDU Session和/或冗余QoS flow配置在相应的RAN节点上。
在上述步骤S402中,RAN主节点MN从核心网获得需要建立或修改的PDU Session和/或QoS flow的冗余指示信息。对于切换(handover)场景,目标RAN主节点Target MN从原RAN主节点Source MN分别获得需要建立的PDU Session和/或QoS flow的冗余指示信息。
在上述实施例中,所述冗余指示信息可以是PDU Session级别也可以是QoS flow级别,可以指示所述PDU Session和/或QoS flow是否为冗余PDU Session和/或冗余QoS flow,也可以指示所述冗余PDU Session和/或冗余QoS flow配置到某个RAN节点。
在上述步骤S404中,当所述冗余指示信息指示所述冗余PDU Session 和/或冗余QoS flow配置到辅节点上,主节点向辅节点发送新的冗余指示信息,该冗余指示信息可以是PDU Session级别也可以是QoS flow级别,用于指示所述PDU Session和/或QoS flow是否为冗余PDU Session和/或冗余QoS flow。
在上述实施例中,一个冗余PDU Session的所有QoS flow都是冗余QoS flow,主节点不允许分离该PDU Session(即:该PDU Session的类型是Non-split PDU Session(非分离会话),其包含的全部QoS flow所对应的承载必须配置在一个相同的RAN节点上)
在上述实施例中,冗余PDU Session和/或冗余QoS flow配置到一个RAN节点上,是指其对应承载的高层(SDAP,PDCP)和低层(RLC,MAC和物理层)都配置在该RAN节点上。
在上述实施例中,当冗余PDU Session和/或冗余QoS flow配置到主节点上,则对应的承载类型为MN terminated MCG bearer,当冗余PDU Session和/或冗余QoS flow配置到辅节点上,则对应的承载类型为SN terminated SCG bearer。
在上述实施例中,如果所述PDU Session是新建立的,则在上述步骤S404之前,还包括如下步骤:
步骤1:UE向网络发起2个PDU Session建立/请求(此处以双连接为例,当然也可以是建立多个PDU Session建立/请求),每个PDU Session都携带PDU Session级别或QoS级别的冗余指示信息。
步骤2:核心网决定建立所述2个PDU Session,核心网向RAN主节点MN发送PDU Session的建立请求消息,并携带PDU Session级别或QoS级别的冗余指示信息。
下面通过实施例对不同的应用场景进行具体描述。
实施例1:
本实施例具体描述了RAN建立冗余PDU Session和/或冗余QoS flow的过程,如图5所示,包括如下步骤:
步骤S501:RAN接收到核心网(CN,core network,在5G系统中,是指AMF,在4G系统中是指MME)发送的PDU Session Resource setup request消息,该消息中包含请求建立的1个或多个PDU Session,其中的每个PDU Session包含1个或多个QoS flow。所述PDU Session中的1个或多个PDU Session包含PDU Session级别的冗余指示,和/或所述PDU Session中的1个或多个PDU Session包含QoS flow级别的冗余指示。
在本实施例中,当某个PDU Session包含PDU Session级别的冗余指示信息,是指这个PDU Session是冗余PDU Session,此时该PDU Session的所包含的QoS flow都是冗余QoS flow。
在本实施例中,当某个PDU Session包含QoS flow级别的冗余指示信息,是指这个PDU Session的1个或多个QoS flow是冗余QoS flow,此时每个包含冗余指示信息的QoS flow就是冗余QoS flow。
步骤S502:RAN判断该PDU Session/QoS flow是否是冗余PDU Session/QoS flow。如果判断结果为否,则在本实施例中不做规定,直接执行步骤S507。如果判断结果为是,则执行步骤S503。
在本实施例中,当某个PDU Session包含PDU Session级别的冗余指示信息,则该PDU Session就是冗余PDU Session,其包含的所有QoS flow都是冗余QoS flow,此时该PDU Session不包含QoS flow级别的冗余指示信息。
在本实施例中,冗余指示信息可以是PDU Session级别的,也可以是QoS flow级别的。核心网配置PDU Session级别和/或QoS flow级别的冗余指示信息,并发送到RAN。于是,RAN可以获知哪个或哪些PDU Session是冗余PDU Session,以及哪个或哪些QoS flow是冗余QoS flow。
步骤S503,进一步判断该冗余PDU Session/QoS flow是建立在MN上,还是建立在SN。如果是建立在MN上,则执行步骤S504,如果是建立在SN上,则执行步骤S505。
在本实施中,冗余指示信息的不同取值,可以采用RSN(redundant  sequence number,冗余序列号)来标识。分别代表了所对应的PDU Session或所对应的QoS flow需要配置在RAN的不同节点上。当RAN是双连接节点,其中一个节点是主节点(MN,master node),另一个节点是辅节点(SN,Secondary node),可以用RSN=0表示所述冗余PDU Session/QoS flow需要配置在MN上,用RSN=1表示所述冗余PDU Session/QoS flow需要配置在SN上。当RAN是多连接节点,其中一个节点是节点0(主节点),一个节点是节点1(辅节点1),一个节点是节点2(辅节点2),一个节点是节点3(辅节点3),则用RSN=0表示所述冗余PDU Session/QoS flow需要配置在MN上,用RSN=1表示所述冗余PDU Session/QoS flow需要配置在辅节点1上,用RSN=2表示所述冗余PDU Session/QoS flow需要配置在辅节点2上,用RSN=3表示所述冗余PDU Session/QoS flow需要配置在辅节点3上。
在本实施例中,当某个PDU Session是冗余PDU Session,则其所包含的所有QoS flow都是冗余QoS flow。根据该冗余PDU Session的冗余指示信息,RAN将其配置为non-split PDU Session,即:RAN不允许该PDU session的QoS flow配置在不同的RAN节点上,而是将该PDU Session的全部QoS flow都配置在某一个RAN节点上。
在本实施例中,当某个QoS flow是冗余QoS flow,根据该冗余QoS flow的冗余指示信息,RAN将该QoS flow配置在某个RAN节点上。
在本实施例中,当多个冗余QoS flow属于同一个PDU Session,则所述冗余QoS flow配置相同的冗余指示信息(即:RSN取值相同,这些冗余QoS flow都配置在相同的RAN节点上);另一方面,为了支持冗余QoS flow的配置灵活化,本发明也允许所述冗余QoS flow配置不同的冗余指示信息(即:RSN取值不同,这些冗余QoS flow允许配置在不同的RAN节点上)。
在本实施例中,RAN读取该请求消息,如果某个PDU Session/QoS有冗余指示信息,则该PDU Session/QoS为冗余PDU Session/冗余QoS  flow,再根据冗余指示信息的取值,RAN可以获知该PDU Session/QoS flow配置在某个节点上。
在本实施例中,将某个冗余PDU Session的全部QoS flow,或某个冗余QoS flow配置在某个RAN节点上,是指将所述QoS flow对应承载的高层(SDAP,PDCP)和低层(RLC,MAC和物理层)都配置在该RAN节点上。对于冗余PDU Session,其包含的QoS flow可以是多个,这些QoS flow可以配置在一个或多个承载上,则这些承载的高层和低层都必须配置在相同的所述RAN节点上。
步骤S504:将该冗余PDU Session/冗余QoS flow建立在主节点MN上,承载类型为MN terminated MCG bearer。
在3GPP Rel-15的5G多连接系统(MR-DC with 5GC)中,一个RAN节点是MN,另一个RAN节点是SN。如果用RSN=0表示所述冗余PDU Session或冗余QoS flow需要配置在MN上,则对应的承载必须为MN terminated MCG bearer。用RSN=1表示所述冗余PDU Session或冗余QoS flow需要配置在SN上,则对应的承载必须为SN terminated SCG bearer。
步骤S505:当所述冗余PDU Session和/或冗余QoS flow的冗余指示信息,要求其配置在辅节点上,则主节点向辅节点发送SN addition request message或SN modification request message消息中的IE“PDU Session Resource Setup Info–SN terminated”包含请求建立的1个或多个冗余PDU Session和/或冗余QoS flow的冗余指示信息及其他相关配置信息。
MN发送到SN的冗余指示信息可以是PDU Session级别的,也可以是QoS flow级别的。
针对某个冗余PDU Session或冗余QoS flow,MN发送到SN的冗余指示信息,可以不同于从核心网接收到的冗余指示信息。
一方面通过读取来自核心网某个PDU Session/QoS flow是否配置了冗余指示信息,RAN可以获知该PDU Session/QoS flow是否是冗余PDU Session/冗余QoS flow,另一方面通过读取某个PDU Session/QoS flow的 冗余指示信息的取值,RAN可以获知该PDU Session/QoS flow需要配置在哪个RAN节点上。
在该步骤S505的请求消息中,如果某个或某些PDU Session/QoS flow配置了冗余指示信息,则其为冗余PDU Session/冗余QoS flow,且其必须配置在SN上。因此,从MN发送到SN的冗余指示信息可以仅指示某个或某些PDU Session/QoS flow是否是冗余PDU Session/冗余QoS flow。
步骤S506:辅节点接收到主节点发送的SN addition request message或SN modification request message,消息中包含的冗余指示信息指示所述冗余PDU Session和/或冗余QoS flow配置在所述辅节点上,则辅节点将其对应的承载类型配置为SN terminated SCG bearer,而且辅节点不允许改变该承载类型直到冗余信息指示改变。
消息中的冗余PDU Session和/或冗余QoS flow的冗余指示信息是重要的,因为,如果无此冗余指示信息,SN很可能将这些PDU Session/QoS flow的承载配置为SN terminated split bearer或SN terminated MCG bearer。
步骤S507:对下一个接收到的PDU Session/冗余QoS flow重复执行上述的步骤。
实施例2:
本实施例描述了RAN修改冗余PDU Session和/或冗余QoS flow的过程。
对于某个配置为冗余PDU Session的PDU Session,5GC可以在该PDU Session建立时候配置其为冗余PDU Session,也是该PDU Session建立时候是普通PDU Session(即:不是冗余PDU Session),随后地,5GC将该PDU Session修改为冗余PDU Session;随后地,5GC也可以将某个冗余PDU Session修改为普通PDU Session(即:不是冗余PDU Session)。
对于某个配置为冗余QoS flow的QoS flow,5GC可以在该QoS flow建立时候配置其为冗余QoS flow,也是该QoS flow建立时候是普通QoS flow(即:不是冗余QoS flow),随后地,5GC将该QoS flow修改为冗余 QoS flow;随后地,5GC也可以将某个冗余QoS flow修改为普通QoS flow(即:不同冗余QoS flow)。
如图6所示,本实施例的方法流程包括如下步骤:
步骤S601:RAN接收到核心网发送的PDU Session Resource modify request消息,该消息中包括:修改1个或多个PDU Session的冗余指示信息的有无,和/或修改1个或多个QoS flow的冗余指示信息的取值。
所述修改PDU Session的冗余指示信息或修改QoS flow的冗余指示信息,包括:将某个/某些冗余PDU Session或冗余QoS flow修改为非冗余PDU Session或非冗余QoS flow(即:所述PDU Session或QoS flow不配置冗余指示信息),或将某个/某些非冗余PDU Session或非冗余QoS flow修改为冗余PDU Session或冗余QoS flow(即:为所述PDU Session或QoS flow配置冗余指示信息),或将某个/某些冗余PDU Session或冗余QoS flow的冗余指示信息的取值修改(如:RSN取值从0修改为1,或者RSN取值从0修改为1,即:该冗余PDU Session或冗余QoS flow从一个RAN节点重配置到另一个RAN节点)。
步骤S602:RAN判断该PDU Session/QoS flow修改后是否是冗余PDU Session/QoS flow。如果判断结果为否,则在本实施例中不做规定,直接执行步骤S607。如果判断结果为是,则执行步骤S603。
步骤S603:进一步判断该冗余PDU Session/QoS flow修改后是建立在MN上,还是建立在SN。如果是建立在MN上,则执行步骤S604,如果是建立在SN上,则执行步骤S605。
在本实施例中,RAN根据每个PDU Session和/或QoS flow修改后有无冗余指示信息,或修改后的新的冗余指示信息的取值,进行相应的配置。
将新的冗余PDU Session和/或冗余QoS flow配置到冗余指示信息所指示的RAN节点上,或者将已有的冗余PDU Session和/或已有的QoS flow配置到修改后的冗余指示信息所指示的新的RAN节点上,而对于从冗余PDU Session和/或冗余QoS flow修改为非冗余PDU Session和/或非冗余 QoS flow,RAN可以修改或不修改其配置。
步骤S604:将该冗余PDU Session/冗余QoS flow建立在主节点MN上,承载类型为MN terminated MCG bearer。
步骤S605:当所述冗余PDU Session和/或冗余QoS flow的冗余指示信息,要求其配置在辅节点上,则主节点向辅节点发送SN modification request message,消息中的信息单元IE“PDU Session Resource Modification Info–SN terminated”包括:修改1个或多个PDU Session的冗余指示信息的有无。
步骤S606:辅节点接收到主节点发送的SN modification request message,并进行相应的配置。
对于新配置了冗余指示信息的PDU Session和/或QoS flow,SN将其配置为SN terminated SCG bearer;对于原先是冗余PDU Session或冗余QoS flow但现在没有配置冗余指示信息的PDU Session或QoS flow,所述PDU Session或QoS flow是非冗余PDU Session或非冗余QoS flow,SN可以重新配置也可以不重新配置。
步骤S607:对下一个接收到的PDU Session/冗余QoS flow重复执行上述的步骤。
实施例3:
本实施例描述了切换(handover)过程中,原RAN节点向目标RAN节点传递冗余PDU Session和/或冗余QoS flow的流程。
由于UE的移动性,或者基站信号的波动,可能触发至少三种类型的切换:MN不改变的SN切换(SN change),SN不改变的MN切换(MN handover without SN change),MN和SN都切换(MN handover with SN change),具体见3GPP TS37.340。
原NG-RAN node(source MN)将每个PDU Session和/或QoS flow的冗余指示信息,从原节点(source NG-RAN)传递到目标节点(Target NG-RAN),该冗余指示信息的传递,如果是基于NG接口的切换则通过 NG接口,如果是基于Xn接口的切换则通过Xn接口。
如图7所示,本实施例的流程包括如下步骤:
步骤S701:原RAN节点发送到目标RAN节点的handover request消息中,对于每一个冗余PDU Session和/或冗余QoS flow都包括一个冗余指示信息。
与实施例1相比,在本实施例中,每个PDU Session和/或QoS flow的冗余指示信息,从原RAN节点发送到目标RAN节点。该冗余指示信息通过handover request消息发送。
对于MR-DC with 5GC系统,原RAN节点就是原MN节点(Source MN),目标RAN节点就是目标MN节点(Target MN)。即:handover request消息从Source MN发送到Target MN。
步骤S702:RAN判断该PDU Session/QoS flow是否是冗余PDU Session/QoS flow。如果判断结果为否,则在本实施例中不做规定,直接执行步骤S707。如果判断结果为是,则执行步骤S703。
步骤S703:进一步判断该冗余PDU Session/QoS flow是建立在MN上,还是建立在SN。如果是建立在MN上,则执行步骤S704,如果是建立在SN上,则执行步骤S705。
目标MN根据每个冗余PDU Session和/或每个冗余QoS flow的冗余指示信息,将所述冗余PDU Session和/或所述冗余QoS flow配置在相应的RAN目标主节点或目标辅节点上。
与实施例1相比,本实施例中的目标MN类似于实施例1中的RAN。
步骤S704:将该冗余PDU Session/冗余QoS flow建立在主节点MN上,承载类型为MN terminated MCG bearer。
步骤S705:当所述冗余PDU Session和/或冗余QoS flow的冗余指示信息,要求其配置在目标辅节点上,则目标主节点向目标辅节点发送SN addition request message,消息中的IE“PDU Session Resource Setup Info– SN terminated”包含请求建立的1个或多个冗余PDU Session和/或冗余QoS flow的冗余指示信息及其他相关配置信息。
与实施例1相比,在本实施例中,目标主节点取代了主节点,目标辅节点取代了辅节点,消息中不包括SN modification request消息。其他都相同。
MN发送到SN的冗余指示信息可以是PDU Session级别的,也可以是QoS flow级别的。
针对某个冗余PDU Session或冗余QoS flow,目标MN发送到目标SN的冗余指示信息,可以不同于从原主节点接收到的冗余指示信息。
一方面通过读取来自原主节点的某个PDU Session/QoS flow是否配置了冗余指示信息,目标主节点可以获知该PDU Session/QoS flow是否是冗余PDU Session/冗余QoS flow,另一方面通过读取某个PDU Session/QoS flow的冗余指示信息的取值,目标主节点可以获知该PDU Session/QoS flow需要配置在哪个目标RAN节点上。
在该步骤S705的请求消息中,如果某个/某些PDU Session/QoS flow配置了冗余指示信息,则其为冗余PDU Session/冗余QoS flow,且其必须配置在SN上。因此,从MN发送到SN的冗余指示信息可以仅指示某个/某些PDU Session/QoS flow是否是冗余PDU Session/冗余QoS flow。
步骤S706:目标辅节点接收到目标主节点发送的SN addition request message或SN modification request message,消息中包含的冗余指示信息指示所述冗余PDU Session和/或冗余QoS flow配置在所述辅节点上,则辅节点将其对应的承载类型配置为SN terminated SCG bearer,而且辅节点不允许改变该承载类型直到冗余信息指示改变,修改冗余指示信息的过程可参见实施例2。
消息中的冗余PDU Session和/或冗余QoS flow的冗余指示信息是重要的,因为如果无此冗余指示信息,SN很可能将这些PDU Session/QoS flow的承载配置为SN terminated split bearer或SN terminated MCG bearer。
步骤S707:对下一个接收到的PDU Session/冗余QoS flow重复执行上述的步骤。
实施例4:
在本实施例中,UE发起冗余PDU Session或发起PDU Session中部分冗余QoS flow的建立请求。
在本实施例中,预设条件为,UE具备建立双连接的能力,UE已经与网络建立了双链接,或者UE已知其与当前网络可以建立双连接。为了描述方便,在本实施例中,仅是以双连接为例,当然也可以是多于两个连接的多连接。
如图8所示,本实施例的流程包括如下步骤:
步骤S801:UE向网络发起2个PDU Session的建立请求(PDU Session Establishment Request message),这个两个PDUSession都分别带有冗余指示信息,还可以包括其他配置信息(如:DNN和/或S-NSSAI)
所述冗余指示信息可以是PDU Session级别的,也可以是QoS flow级别的。当冗余指示信息是PDU Session级别的,则所述两个PDU Session所包含的全部QoS flow都是冗余QoS flow;当冗余指示信息是QoS flow级别的,则所述两个PDU Session所包含的QoS flow中部分是冗余QoS flow而其他是非冗余QoS flow。
步骤S802:网络决定为所述2个PDU Session建立PDU Session后,根据所述PDU Session所配置的冗余指示信息,分别在不同的RAN节点上建立冗余PDU Session或冗余QoS flow。
网络读取PDU Session建立请求消息中的冗余指示信息,可以获知这两个PDU Session的相互冗余关系。
当冗余指示信息是PDU Session级别的,网络将所述2个PDU Session分别建立在不同的RAN节点上,每个PDU Session的类型都是Non-split PDU Session类型。在双连接网络中,1个PDU Session的全部QoS flow的承载类型是MN terminated MCG bearer;另一个PDU Session的全部QoS  flow的承载类型是SN terminated SCG bearer。
当冗余指示信息是QoS flow级别的,网络将冗余QoS flow分别建立在不同的RAN节点上,每个PDU Session的类型可以是split PDU Session类型。在双连接网络中,1个PDU Session的冗余QoS flow的承载类型是MN terminated MCG bearer;另一个PDU Session的冗余QoS flow的承载类型是SN terminated SCG bearer。
