Description

一种通信的方法及装置
本申请要求于2019年12月31日提交中国国家知识产权局、申请号为201911417937.8、发明名称为“一种通信的方法及装置”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
本申请实施例涉及通信技术领域,尤其涉及一种通信的方法及装置。
背景技术
终端开机后,可以通过接入网设备向核心网设备发起附着流程,并进一步建立IP多媒体子系统(IP multimedia subsystem,IMS)默认承载,例如建立IMS语音承载。在建立IMS默认承载时,核心网设备选择控制面网关,控制面网关向策略控制设备发送请求消息,所述请求消息用于请求建立终端的IP地址与控制面网关的标识的映射关系,以便后续通过终端的IP地址查找到控制面网关。
终端在建立IMS默认承载后,主/被叫终端可以发起呼叫流程。例如,主叫终端通过用户面网关、代理呼叫会话设备等向被叫终端发送IMS会话请求。代理呼叫会话设备在接收到被叫终端反馈的响应后,可以向策略控制设备发送终端的IP地址。进而,策略控制设备可以通过终端的IP地址找到对应的控制面网关,以实现建立IMS会话。
上述描述的策略控制设备、控制面网关均位于数据中心中。一个数据中心中附着的终端一般非常多,当一个数据中心出现故障时,附着到该数据中心的终端则需要重新附着到其他数据中心的网络上,此时则会存在多个终端批量发起附着、建立IMS默认承载。数据中心中除了控制面网关外的其他设备,例如策略控制设备,为终端建立IMS默认承载预留的资源有限。当多个终端批量建立IMS默认承载时,策略控制设备容易被冲垮,则无法正常建立终端的IP地址与控制面网关的标识的映射关系,这样也会导致终端间无法正常建立IMS会话。

在该实施例中,用户面网关在确定控制面网关将策略控制设备旁路,则指示控制面网关向策略控制设备发送第一请求,用于建立所述第一终端与所述控制面网关的映射关系。这样,策略控制设备就可以建立第一终端与控制面网关的映射关系,以实现第一终端与第 二终端间正常建立IMS会话。

控制面网关在将策略控制设备旁路后,向用户面网关发送第二指示信息。这样,用户面设备就可以根据是否接收到第二指示信息来确定是否将策略控制设备旁路。
在一种可能的实现中,所述用户面网关在接收到所述第一终端的IMS会话请求后,所述用户面网关如果确定所述第一终端在建立IMS默认承载的过程中,所述控制面网关未将策略控制设备旁路,则可以向所述第二终端发送IMS默认请求,进一步地可以省略向控制面网关发送所述第一指示信息。

在一种可能的实现中,所述控制面网关可以在所述终端建立IMS默认承载时,确定所述策略控制设备是否支持建立IMS默认承载。如果所述控制面网关确定所述策略控制设备不支持建立IMS默认承载,则可以向所述用户面网关发送第二指示信息,所述第二指示信息用于指示所述终端在建立IMS默认承载的过程中,所述控制面网关将所述策略控制设备旁路。
控制面网关在确定策略控制设备不支持建立IMS默认承载时,可以将策略控制设备旁路,然后向用户面网关发送第二指示信息。这样,用户面设备就可以根据是否接收到第二指示信息来确定是否将策略控制设备旁路。
在一种可能的实现中,所述控制面网关在确定策略控制设备是否支持建立IMS默认承载时,可以是所述控制面网关确定所述策略控制设备是否过载或故障。当控制面网关确定所述策略控制设备过载或者故障时,可以确定所述策略控制设备不支持建立IMS默认承载。

应理解,上述应用于本申请实施例的网络架构仅是举例说明的从服务化架构的角度描述的网络架构,适用本申请实施例的网络架构并不局限于此,任何能够实现上述各个设备的功能的网络架构都适用于本申请实施例。
为便于理解本申请实施例,接下来对本请的应用场景进行介绍。本申请实施例描述的 业务场景是为了更加清楚的说明本申请实施例的技术方案,并不构成对于本申请实施例提供的技术方案的限定,本领域普通技术人员可知,随着新业务场景的出现,本申请实施例提供的技术方案对于类似的技术问题,同样适用。
接下来以图1所示的4G的网络架构和图2所示的5G的网络架构为例,对本申请的应用场景进行介绍,以下应用场景对于其它网络架构同样适用。
在一个数据中心(data center,DC)中可以部署有多种设备,例如控制面网关,策略控制设备。可选的,还可以部署移动管理设备,绑定支持功能设备等。该通信系统中还可以包括用户面网关,接入网设备,代理呼叫设备,代理呼叫设备可以部署在数据中心中,也可以不部署在数据中心中。
如图3A所示的通信系统,在4G网络架构中,控制面网关可以包括控制面公共数据网网关PGW-C,可选的,还可以包括控制面服务网关SGW-C;策略控制设备可以是PCRF设备;移动管理设备可以是MME设备;创建绑定支持功能设备可以是路由代理(diameter routing agent,DRA)设备;用户面网关可以包括:用户面服务网关SGW-U,用户面公共数据网网关PGW-U。
如图3B所示的通信系统,在5G网络架构中,控制面网关可以是SMF设备,策略控制设备可以是PCF设备;移动管理设备可以是AMF设备;创建绑定支持功能设备可以是(binding support function,BSF)设备;用户面网关可以是UPF设备。
代理呼叫设备可以是会话边界控制器(session border controller,SBC)设备或其中一个功能模块,也可以是代理呼叫会话控制功能(porxy call session control function,P-CSCF)设备。
终端开机后,可以通过接入网设备向核心网设备发起附着流程,附着也可以称为建立数据的默认承载。例如在4G网络架构中,终端向MME设备发起EPC(evolved packet core,4G的核心网)附着流程。例如在5G网络架构中,终端向AMF设备发起注册流程和PDU会话创建流程。
在附着成功(即终端接收到附着成功的响应)后,如果终端用户是IP多媒体子系统(IP multimedia subsystem,IMS)用户,该终端可以进一步建立IMS默认承载,例如建立IMS语音承载。核心网设备可以为终端选择一个控制面网关建立IMS默认承载。例如在4G网络架构中,MME设备为终端选择一个PGW-C用来建立IMS默认承载。再例如在5G网络架构中,AMF设备为终端选择一个SMF设备用来建立IMS默认承载。
终端建立IMS默认承载的过程可以参见以下步骤1-步骤2:
步骤1:终端通过接入网设备、核心网设备向控制面网关发起会话建立过程。
在4G网络架构中可以如图3A所示,终端通过接入网设备向MME设备发起会话建立过程。MME设备通过控制面服务网关SGW-C向控制面公共数据网网关PGW-C发送创建会话请求(Create Session Request)。
在5G网络架构中可以如图3B所示,终端通过接入网设备向AMF设备发起会话建立过程。AMF设备向SMF发送会话创建请求消息。
例如,SMF Nsmf_PDUSession_CreateSMContext Request请求消息。
步骤2:控制面网关在接收到终端发起的会话建立请求后,向策略控制设备发送第一请求,所述第一请求用于请求建立所述终端与所述控制面网关的映射关系。例如请求所述策略控制设备保存所述终端的IP地址与所述控制面网关的标识的映射关系。
在4G网络架构中可以如图3A所示,PGW-C在接收到创建会话请求后,可以发起IP-CAN会话建立过程。在未部署DRA设备情况下,PGW-C向PCRF设备发送信用控制请求(credit control request,CCR),其中携带终端的IP地址。在部署DRA设备的情况下,PGW-C通过DRA设备向PCRF设备发送信用控制请求(credit control request,CCR),其中携带终端的IP地址。在IP-CAN会话建立成功后,PCRF设备中可以保存终端的IP地址与PGW-C的标识的映射关系,以便后续通过终端的IP地址查找PGW-C。并且DRA设备中可以保存终端的IP地址与PCRF设备的标识的映射关系,以便后续通过终端的IP地址查找PCRF。
在5G网络架构中可以如图3B所示,SMF设备在接收到创建会话请求后,可以发起会话建立过程。在未部署BSF设备的情况下,SMF设备向PCF设备发送会话管理策略建立(Session Management Policy Establishment)消息,其中携带终端的IP地址。PCF设备中可以保存终端的IP地址与SMF设备的标识的映射关系。在部署BSF设备的情况下,PCF设备选择一个BSF设备,PCF调用BSF的Nbsf_Management_Register服务操作,发送POST请求消息给BSF,其中携带终端的IP地址,则BSF设备中可以保存终端的IP地址与PCF设备的标识的映射关系。PCF设备在选择BSF设备时,可以是根据终端的IP地址,以及BSF支持的IP段选择的,具体的选择过程不进行赘述。
终端在建立IMS默认承载后,终端可以发起IMS呼叫流程。以主叫终端向被叫终端发起IMS呼叫为例进行说明。具体过程可以参见以下步骤3-步骤6:
步骤3:主叫终端可以通过接入网设备向用户面网关发送IMS会话请求。
在4G网络架构中可以如图3A所示,主叫终端可以依次通过接入网设备、用户面服务网关SGW-U,向用户面公共数据网网关PGW-U发送会话初始协议(Session Initialization Protocol,SIP)的邀请invite请求。
在5G网络架构中可以如图3B所示,主叫终端可以通过接入网设备向UPF设备发送SIP的邀请invite请求。
步骤4:用户面网关可以通过代理呼叫设备将IMS会话请求通知给被叫终端。
在4G网络架构中可以如图3A所示,PGW-U可以通过P-CSCF设备将SIP的invite请求告知被叫终端。
在5G网络架构中可以如图3B所示,UPF设备可以通过P-CSCF设备将SIP的invite请求告知被叫终端。
步骤5:代理呼叫设备在接收到被叫终端的响应后,向策略控制设备发送携带主叫终端的IP地址请求消息,用于请求建立主叫终端与被叫终端之间的IMS会话。
鉴权授权请求(authentication authorization request,AAR),AAR中包括终端的IP地址。进而策略控制设备可以通过终端的IP地址找到对应的控制面网关,以建立IMS会话。
在4G网络架构中可以如图3A所示,P-CSCF设备在接收到被叫终端反馈的响应后,如果未部署DRA设备,则P-CSCF设备可以直接向PCRF设备发送鉴权授权请求(authentication authorization request,AAR),其中包括主叫终端的IP地址。PCRF设备可以通过主叫终端的IP地址找到对应的PGW-C。如果部署DRA设备,则P-CSCF设备可以向DRA设备发送鉴权授权请求AAR。进而,DRA设备可以通过终端的IP地址找到对应的PCRF设备。进而,PCRF设备可以通过主叫终端的IP地址找到对应的PGW-C。
在5G网络架构中可以如图3B所示,P-CSCF设备在接收到被叫终端反馈的响应后,如果未部署BSF设备,则P-CSCF设备可以直接向PCF设备发送鉴权授权请求AAR,其中包括主叫终端的IP地址。PCF设备可以通过主叫终端的IP地址找到对应的SMF设备。如果部署BSF设备,则P-CSCF设备可以向BSF设备发送AAR,AAR中包括终端的IP地址。进而,BSF设备可以通过主叫终端的IP地址找到对应的PCF设备。进而,PCF设备可以通过主叫终端的IP地址找到对应的SMF设备。
在被叫呼叫主叫的过程中,被叫终端可以依次通过被叫终端接入的接入网设备、代理呼叫设备、用户面网关,主叫终端接入的接入网设备到达主叫终端。详细过程不再进行赘述。
如图4所示,在4G网络架构下,当数据中心DC1发生故障后,接入网设备无法获得核心网设备(例如MME-1)的心跳响应。此时,接入网设备可以通知附着到数据中心DC1上的终端重新发起附着流程。如图4所示,接入网设备可以选择新的数据中心DC2进行附着。需要注意的是,图4中的数据中心DC1中的和数据中心DC2中的PCRF、DRA、SGW-C、PGW-C为容灾备份关系。以PCRF为例,PCRF-1和PCRF-2中保存的数据相同,当PCRF-1故障时,PCRF-2可以承载故障的PCRF-1上所有的业务。DRA、SGW-C、PGW-C亦如此。
数据中心DC1中附着的终端较多,则会存在多个终端批量发起附着。除了PGW-C外的其他设备,例如PCRF、DRA等设备为终端附着预留的资源有限,这些设备容易被冲垮。为了避免这些设备被冲垮,PGW-C-2可以使用旁路功能。即PGW-C-2发现某个设备过载后,不再向其发送请求。先处理其他流程给终端回复附着成功。过一段时间再向被旁路的设备发送请求,刷新状态。
在建立IMS默认承载的过程中,如果数据中心DC2中的PGW-C-2发现PCRF-2设备过载,如果将PCRF-2设备和DRA-2设备旁路,则不会发起IP-CAN会话建立流程。这样会存在以下问题:
终端在重新附着的过程中,终端的IP地址可能会发生变化,但是数据中心DC2中的DRA-2设备和PCRF-2中存储的路由数据都是旧数据,即存储的是旧的IP地址。在终端发送呼叫时,SBC设备向DRA-2设备发送的AAR中携带新的IP地址。DRA-2收到新的IP地址后,由于DRA-2存储的是旧的IP地址,DRA-2无法根据新的IP地址找到PCRF设备,则呼叫业务失败。即使终端的IP地址没有改变,AAR中携带旧的IP地址,DRA-2设备匹配的是故障的数据中心DC1中的PCRF-1的地址,业务失败。如果DRA-2找到PCRF-2设备,PCRF-2设备根据存储的旧的IP地址,会映射到故障的数据中心DC1中的PGW-C-1上,也会业务失败。
在5G网络架构下,会出现同样的问题。
基于此,本申请提供了一种通信方式,如图5A所示(如上述图3A、图3B和图4重复之处不再介绍),在建立IMS默认承载的过程中,控制面网关可以将是否对策略控制设备旁路的信息告知用户面网关。这样,用户面网关在接收到终端(可以是主叫终端,也可以是被叫终端)的IMS呼叫时,可以识别出针对该终端是否将策略控制设备旁路。如果在建立IMS默认承载的过程中,将策略控制设备旁路,用户面网关可以向控制面网关发送请求消息,用于请求策略控制设备重新建立终端的IP地址与控制面网关的映射关系。
