Description

一种数据传输方法、设备及系统 技术领域
本申请涉及通信领域，尤其涉及一种数据传输方法、设备及系统。
背景技术
网络中会存在较多类型的业务，例如会话业务、流业务(streaming)、交互业务和背景业务。在具体应用中，有些业务对传输时延会比较敏感，比如交互式业务对数据的总传输时延很敏感。交互式业务是指通过用户与用户之间或者用户与环境之间存在强交互关系的业务。例如云虚拟现实技术(Virtual Reality，VR)业务。
图1示例性示出了一种交互式业务的场景图，如图1所示，用户手上握有传感器，当用户做了举手的动作，用户手上的传感器将“举手的动作”对应的数据发送至服务器，服务器将接收到的上行数据“举手的动作”进行处理后，生成下行数据“举手的动作”，并将该下行数据“举手的动作”发送至终端设备的显示器(图1中以镜子来示意显示器)，以显示该举手的动作。用户最终会从显示器上看到该“举手的动作”。如图1所示，可以看出，从用户做出举手的动作，直至用户在显示器上看到举手的动作，数据的传输经历了上行传输和下行传输。可以看出，上行传输时延和下行传输时延的总和将影响用户从显示器上看到该“举手的动作”这个图像的实时性。
现有技术中，服务器向网络发送业务的服务质量(Quality of Service，QoS)需求(例如VR业务的上行传输时延需求10毫秒(ms)，下行传输时延需求20ms)。网络针对上行传输和下行传输分别建立对应的Qos flow(流)，Qos flow对应服务质量参数，终端设备和网络之间通过所建立的Qos flow进行上行数据和下行数据的传输，以保证业务的传输时延。
但是目前仅能针对上行业务流的全部数据和下行业务流的全部数据进行粗略的Qos控制，亟需一种数据传输方案，用于对数据传输时延进行更加准确的控制。
发明内容
本申请实施例提供一种数据传输方法、设备及系统，用于对数据传输时延进行更加准确的控制。
为达到上述目的，本申请实施例采用如下技术方案：
第一方面，提供一种数据传输方法，包括：第一通信设备接收第一方向的数据包；该第一方向的数据包中包括用于指示该第一方向的数据包的发送时间的时间戳；该第一通信设备接收第二方向的数据包；其中，该第一方向的数据包和该第二方向的数据包对应同一个业务；若该第一方向为上行，则该第二方向为下行；或者，若该第一方向为下行，则该第二方向为上行；该第一通信设备根据总传输时延需求和第一方向的数据包的发送时间，发送该第二方向的数据包；其中，该总传输时延需求为该第一方向的传输时延需求与第二方向的传输时延需求之和。如此，可以根据业务的总传输时延需求和第一方向的发送时间对第二方向的数据包进行调度，可以针对第二数据包这样更细的粒度进行时延控制。
在一种可能地实现方式中，该第一方向的数据包中包括组标识，该第二方向的数据包中包括组标识；第一通信设备接收第二方向的数据包之后，发送第二方向的数据包之前， 还包括：若该第一通信设备确定该第二方向的数据包的组标识与该第一方向的数据包的组标识具有关联关系，则确定该第一方向的数据包和该第二方向的数据包对应同一个业务。如此，可以通过组标识确定出具有对应关系的第一方向的数据包和第二方向的数据包，从而可以为更细粒度的调度数据包奠定基础。
在一种可能地实现方式中，上行的数据包中包括的组标识携带于该上行的数据包的网际协议IP层或通用分组无线服务隧道协议GTP层；和/或，下行的数据包中包括的组标识携带于该下行的数据包的IP层。
在一种可能地实现方式中，该第一通信设备根据总传输时延需求，第一方向的数据包的发送时间，发送第二方向的数据包，包括：第一通信设备根据总传输时延需求与第一方向的传输时延之间的差值，确定第二方向的目标传输时延；第一通信设备根据第二方向的目标传输时延，发送第二方向的数据包。由于第一方向的数据包中包括有时间戳，因此可以确定出第一方向的传输时延。进一步由于根据第一通信设备根据总传输时延需求和该第一方向的传输时延的差值确定第二方向的目标传输时延，因此更加细粒度的控制第二方向的数据包的传输时延。
在一种可能地实现方式中，该第一通信设备根据总传输时延需求，第一方向的数据包的发送时间，发送第二方向的数据包，包括：第一通信设备根据总传输时延需求与时长的差值，确定第二方向的目标传输时延；其中，时长是指第一通信设备接收到第二方向的数据包的时间与第一方向的数据包的发送时间之间的时长；第一通信设备根据第二方向的目标传输时延，发送第二方向的数据包。由于第一方向的数据包中包括有时间戳，因此以总传输时延需求减去从发送第一方向的数据包至接收到第二方向的数据包的时长，并根据得到的差值来调度第二方向的数据包，可以进一步将第二方向的数据包的传输时延控制在较少的范围内。
在一种可能地实现方式中，确定第二方向的目标传输时延之后，发送第二方向的数据包之前，还包括：若第二方向的数据包的第二方向的传输时延需求不满足第二方向的目标传输时延，则在执行以下内容中的一项或多项：调低该第二方向的数据包的服务质量参数中的传输时延；提高该第二方向的数据包的发送优先级；提高该第二方向的业务传输比特率；提高业务丢包率。如此，当第二方向的传输时延需求大于该第二方向的目标传输时延的情况下，若不对第二方向数据包的调度进行处理，第二方向数据包的传输时延可能会大于第二方向的目标传输时延，从而可能导致总传输时延超过总传输时延需求，而该方案中由于采取了以上一项或多项措施，因此可以提高第二方向的数据包的实际的传输时延，从而可以使第二方向数据包的传输时延不大于第二方向的目标传输时延，进而起到保障总传输时延不大于总传输时延需求的效果。由于该方案可以很灵活的调整一个业务的服务质量参数，相比现有技术，可以以更细粒度的控制每个业务的数据包，可以进一步提高用户感受。
在一种可能地实现方式中，第一通信设备根据总传输时延需求和第一方向的数据包的发送时间，发送第二方向的数据包之前，还包括：该第一通信设备通过会话建立过程或会话修改过程获取该业务的该总传输时延需求。如此，可以兼容现有技术来获取总传输时延需求。
第二方面，提供一种数据传输方法，包括：该第二通信设备确定业务满足第一条件；该第二通信设备触发会话修改流程，该会话修改流程用于对该业务的服务质量参数进行修 改；其中，该第一条件包括以下内容中的一项或多项：该业务的第一方向的传输时延大于该第一方向的传输时延需求；其中，若该第一方向为上行，则该第二方向为下行；或者，若该第一方向为下行，则该第二方向为上行；该业务的该第二方向的传输时延大于该第二方向的传输时延需求；该业务的总传输时延大于总传输时延需求，该总传输时延为上行传输时延与下行传输时延之和；该总传输时延需求为上行传输时延需求和下行传输时延需求之和。本申请实施例中当业务对应的传输时延不满足传输时延需求时，则可以通过触发的会话修改流程对QoS参数进行修改。也就是说，本申请实施例中通过引入QoS反馈机制，在传输时延不满足传输时延需求的情况下，对QoS参数进行修改。
在一种可能地实现方式中，若该第一条件为该总传输时延大于该业务的总传输时延需求，则：该第二通信设备在确定业务对应的传输时延满足第一条件之前，还包括：该第二通信设备根据该业务的第一方向的服务质量参数发送第一方向的时延探测数据包，该第一方向的时延探测数据包包括用于指示该第一方向的时延探测数据包的发送时间的时间戳；该第二通信设备接收第二方向的时延探测数据包，该第二方向的时延探测数据包是根据该业务的第二方向的服务质量参数发送的；其中，若该第一方向为上行，则该第二方向为下行；若该第一方向为下行，则该第二方向为上行；该第二通信设备根据该第二方向的时延探测数据包的接收时间，以及该第一方向的时延探测数据包的发送时间，确定该业务的总传输时延。如此，可以通过发时延探测数据包的方式来对业务的传输时延进行测评。
在一种可能地实现方式中，若该第一条件为该第一方向的传输时延大于该第一方向的传输时延需求，则：该第二通信设备在确定业务对应的传输时延满足第一条件之前，还包括：该第二通信设备接收第一方向的时延探测数据包，该第一方向的时延探测数据包包括用于指示该第一方向的时延探测数据包的发送时间的时间戳；该第二通信设备根据该第一方向的时延探测数据包的接收时间，以及该第一方向的时延探测数据包的发送时间，确定该业务的第一方向的传输时延。如此，可以根据第一方向的传输时延是否满足第一方向的传输时延需求来确定是否进行QoS反馈。
在一种可能地实现方式中，若该第二条件为该第二方向的传输时延大于该第二方向的传输时延需求，则：该第二通信设备在确定业务对应的传输时延满足第二条件之前，还包括：该第二通信设备接收第二方向的时延探测数据包，该第二方向的时延探测数据包包括用于指示该第二方向的时延探测数据包的发送时间的时间戳；该第二通信设备根据该第二方向的时延探测数据包的接收时间，以及该第二方向的时延探测数据包的发送时间，确定该业务的第二方向的传输时延。如此，可以根据第二方向的传输时延是否满足第二方向的传输时延需求来确定是否进行QoS反馈。
在一种可能地实现方式中，第二通信设备触发会话修改流程，包括：该第二通信设备发送第一信令给会话管理功能网元；该第一信令用于使该会话管理功能网元发送会话修改请求；其中，该第一信令包括：用于指示服务质量参数中的待调整参数的调整后的值的指示信息；其中，该待调整参数包括以下内容中的一项或多项：服务质量流标识、5G服务质量标识、数据包传输时延、业务传输比特率以及业务丢包率。如此，可以根据总传输时延是否满足总传输时延需求来确定是否进行QoS反馈。
在一种可能地实现方式中，该第二通信设备包括：终端设备、核心网网元或服务器。如此，可以提高方案的灵活性。
第三方面，提供一种数据传输方法，包括：核心网网元接收来自应用服务器的业务的 总传输时延需求；该核心网网元根据该业务的总传输时延需求，确定该业务的上行数据包对应的服务质量参数和下行数据包对应的服务质量参数。核心网网元可以根据该业务的总传输时延需求，进行上行和下行的QoS需求的分解，以得到该业务的上行数据包对应的服务质量参数和下行数据包对应的服务质量参数。一方面，因为对于一些业务来说，比如上述图1中所提到的交互式业务，服务器并不关心上行传输时延和下行传输时延，而是更加关心总传输时延，因此服务器只要上报自身需要多少总传输时延需求即可。之后由核心网网元来进行上行和下行的QoS需求的分解。如此，网元间的工作分配更加合理。
在一种可能地实现方式中，针对该上行数据包对应的服务质量参数和该下行数据包对应的服务质量参数中的一个服务质量参数包括以下内容中的一项或多项：QoS流标识、5G QoS标识、数据包传输时延、业务传输比特率以及业务丢包率。如此，可以根据应用服务器的总需要进行较详细的QoS需求的分解。
在一种可能地实现方式中，该核心网网元根据该业务的总传输时延需求，确定该业务的上行传输时延需求和下行传输时延需求，包括：该核心网网元根据网络能力和网络状态中的至少一项，以及该业务的总传输时延需求，确定该业务的上行传输时延需求和下行传输时延需求。如此，确定出的业务的上行数据包对应的服务质量参数和下行数据包对应的服务质量参数可以更加的合理，且数据包的实际时延与服务质量参数中所要求的时延误差可以减小。
在一种可能地实现方式中，该网络能力包括：网络的上行带宽能力，和/或，网络的下行带宽能力。在一种可能地实现方式中，该网络状态包括以下内容中的一项或多项：接入网的上行链路的负载情况；接入网的下行链路的负载情况；上行时延探测数据包的上行传输时延；下行时延探测数据包的下行传输时延。
在一种可能地实现方式中，该核心网网元根据该业务的总传输时延需求，确定该业务的上行数据包对应的服务质量参数和下行数据包对应的服务质量参数之后，还包括：该核心网网元通过会话建立流程或者会话修改流程将该业务的上行数据包对应的服务质量参数和下行数据包对应的服务质量参数发送给会话管理网元。如此，可以是会话管理网元执行上行数据包对应的服务质量参数和下行数据包对应的服务质量参数，从而对数据包进行QoS保障。

图2示例性示出了本申请实施例提供的一种通信系统架构示意图，如图2所示，该通 信系统1100包括：第一通信设备1101和应用服务器1102。该第一通信设备1101和应用服务器1102之间可以直接通信，也可以通过其他设备的转发进行通信，本申请实施例对此不做具体限定。
基于该通信系统1100的系统架构，本申请实施例可以提供两种可能地实现方式。
第一种可能地实现方式中，第一方向为上行，第二方向为下行。该第一通信设备1101，用于接收第一方向的数据包，接收来自应用服务器1102的第二方向的数据包，根据总传输时延需求和第一方向的数据包的发送时间，发送该第二方向的数据包。该应用服务器1102，用于接收来自该第一通信设备1101的第一方向的数据包，向该第一通信设备1101发送该第二方向的数据包。其中，该第一方向的数据包中包括用于指示该第一方向的数据包的发送时间的时间戳；该第一方向的数据包和该第二方向的数据包对应同一个业务；该总传输时延需求为该第一方向的传输时延需求与第二方向的传输时延需求之和。
第二种可能地实现方式中，第一方向为下行，第二方向为上行。该第一通信设备1101，用于：接收来自应用服务器1102的第一方向的数据包，接收第二方向的数据包，根据总传输时延需求和第一方向的数据包的发送时间，向应用服务器1102发送该第二方向的数据包。该应用服务器1102，用于向该第一通信设备1101发送该第一方向的数据包，接收来自该第一通信设备1101的第二方向的数据包。其中，该第一方向的数据包中包括用于指示该第一方向的数据包的发送时间的时间戳；该第一方向的数据包和该第二方向的数据包对应同一个业务；该总传输时延需求为该第一方向的传输时延需求与第二方向的传输时延需求之和。
上述两种可能地实现方式中，由于可以根据业务的总传输时延需求和第一方向的发送时间对第二方向的数据包进行调度，因此可以针对第二数据包这样更细的粒度进行时延控制。
图3示例性示出了本申请实施例提供的一种通信系统架构示意图，如图2所示，该通信系统1200包括：核心网网元1201和应用服务器1202。该核心网网元1201和应用服务器1202之间可以直接通信，也可以通过其他设备的转发进行通信，本申请实施例对此不做具体限定。
其中，核心网网元1201用于接收来自应用服务器1202的业务的总传输时延需求，根据该业务的总传输时延需求，确定该业务的上行数据包对应的服务质量参数和下行数据包对应的服务质量参数。应用服务器1202用于向核心网网元1201发送业务的总传输时延需求。如此，一方面，因为对于一些业务来说，比如上述图1中所提到的交互式业务，服务器并不关心上行传输时延和下行传输时延，而是更加关心总传输时延，因此服务器只要上报自身需要多少总传输时延需求即可。之后由核心网网元来进行上行和下行的QoS需求的分解。如此，网元间的工作分配更加合理。
可选的，图2所示的通信系统1100或者图3所示的通信系统1200可以应用于目前正在讨论的5G网络或者未来的其他网络等，本申请实施例对此不做具体限定。
示例性的，假设图2所示的通信系统1100或者图3所示的通信系统1200应用于非漫游场景下的5G网络架构，则如图4所示，上述的第一通信设备可以为用户面网元，也可以是终端设备。用户面网元为该非漫游5G网络架构中的用户面功能(user plane function，UPF)网元。本申请实施例中的该核心网网元可以包括：网络开放功能网元、接入和移动性管理网元、会话管理网元中的任一项。网络开放功能网元可以是该非漫游5G网络架构中 的网络开放功能(network exposure function，NEF)网元。接入和移动性管理网元可以是该非漫游5G网络架构中的接入与移动性管理功能(access and mobility management function，AMF)网元。该会话管理网元可以是该非漫游5G网络架构中的会话管理功能(session management function，SMF)网元。核心网网元也可以为该非漫游5G网络架构中的其他位于核心网中的网元。
此外，如图4所示，该非漫游5G网络架构中还可以包括(无线)接入网(radio access network，(R)AN)设备、数据网络(data network，DN)、策略控制网元可以是策略控制功能(policy control function，PCF)网元、认证服务器功能(authentication server function，AUSF)网元、统一数据管理(unified data management，UDM)网元、应用功能(application function，AF)网元或者其他一些未示出的网元，如网络注册功能(network repository function，NRF)网元等，本申请实施例对此不做具体限定。
其中，终端设备通过下一代网络(next generation，N)1接口(简称N1)与AMF网元通信，RAN设备通过N2接口(简称N2)与AMF网元通信，RAN设备通过N3接口(简称N3)与UPF网元通信，UPF网元通过N6接口(简称N6)与DN通信，AMF网元通过N11接口(简称N11)与SMF网元通信，AMF网元通过N8接口(简称N8)与UDM网元通信，AMF网元通过N12接口(简称N12)与AUSF网元通信，AMF网元通过N15接口(简称N15)与PCF网元通信，SMF网元通过N7接口(简称N7)与PCF网元通信，SMF网元通过N4接口(简称N4)与UPF网元通信，SMF网元通过N10接口(简称N10)与UDM网元通信，UDM网元通过N13接口(简称N13)与AUSF网元通信，PCF网元通过N5接口(简称N5)与AF网元通信。

下面将结合图1至图6对本申请实施例提供的数据传输方法进行具体阐述。
需要说明的是，本申请下述实施例中各个网元之间的消息名字或消息中各参数的名字等只是一个示例，具体实现中也可以是其他的名字，本申请实施例对此不做具体限定。
以图2所示的通信系统应用于如图4或图5所示的非漫游场景下的5G网络架构为例，如图7所示，为本申请实施例提供的一种数据传输方法，图7中以第一方向为上行，第二方向为下行进行示例。图7中以第一通信设备为网元(比如可以为用户面网元)为例进行示例，在其它可能地实现方式中，第一通信设备也可以是终端设备。该数据传输方法的方法包括如下步骤：
步骤301，第一通信设备获取第一方向的数据包；第一方向的数据包中包括用于指示第一方向的数据包的发送时间的时间戳。
进一步，如图7所示，当第一方向为上行时，第一通信设备接收到终端设备发送的第一方向的数据包之后，可以将第一方向的数据包发送至301。
步骤302，第一通信设备获取第二方向的数据包；其中，第一方向的数据包和第二方向的数据包对应同一个业务。
本申请实施例中同一个业务可以对应多个数据包，比如可以包括有一个或多个上行数据包，以及一个或多个下行数据包。本申请实施例中同一个业务的数据流比如可以是包括以下场景，比如可以由终端设备发送上行数据给服务器，并且下行数据是针对该上行数据 的响应，这种情况下，该上行数据和该下行数据可以称为一个业务的数据流。再比如，可以由服务器发送下行数据给终端，并且上行数据是针对下行数据的响应，这种情况下，该下行数据和该上行数据可以称为一个业务的数据流。本申请实施例中第一方向的数据包和第二方向的数据包对应同一个业务，是指第二方向的数据包是在第一方向的数据包的基础上生成的。例如图1中所提到的下行数据“举手的动作”是依据上行数据“举手的动作”生成的，可以称图1中所提到的上行数据“举手的动作”和上行数据“举手的动作”对应同一个业务。又例如，第一方向的数据包是用于请求一些数据的请求信令，则基于该第一方向的数据包生成的第二方向的数据包中可以携带所请求的数据，这种情况下，第一方向的数据包和第二方向的数据包对应同一个业务。
步骤303，第一通信设备根据总传输时延需求和第一方向的数据包的发送时间，确定第二方向的目标传输时延。其中，总传输时延需求为第一方向的传输时延需求与第二方向的传输时延需求之和。
步骤304，第一通信设备根据第二方向的目标传输时延，发送第二方向的数据包。
通过上述方案可以看出，本申请实施例中可以根据该业务的总传输时延需求和该第一方向的传输时延对第二方向的数据包进行调度。也就是说，本申请实施例可以针对第二数据包这样更细的粒度进行时延控制，而现有的方案仅仅是针对业务的上行业务流的全部数据和下行业务流的全部数据进行粗粒度的QoS控制。结合图1来看，现有的方案中，仅仅是针对VR业务的上行业务流的全部数据和下行业务流的全部数据进行粗粒度的QoS控制，但是无法针对VR业务中更细粒度的数据包单独进行QoS控制，比如无法对图1中“举手的动作”上行数据和下行数据进行调度。而在图1中应用本申请实施例提供的方案后，可以获取上行数据“举手的动作”的传输时延，并结合VR业务的总传输时延需求，对下行数据“举手的动作”进行调度，以使下行数据“举手的动作”可以满足时延需求。
图7中仅仅是以第一方向为上行，第二方向为下行进行示例，又一种可能地实现方式中，若第一方向为下行，第二方向为上行，则图7中，第一通信设可以接收来自应用服务器的第一方向的数据包，并将其发送至终端设备，接收来自终端设备的第二方向的数据包，并根据总传输时延需求和第一方向的数据包的发送时间向应用服务器发送第二方向的数据包。
图7中仅仅是以第一通信设备为进行示例，又一种可能地实现方式中，若第一通信设备为终端设备，则第一方向为下行，第二方向为上行，这种实施方式中，第一通信设备接收来自应用服务器的第一方向的数据包，并根据总传输时延需求和第一方向的数据包的发送时间，将生成的第二方向的数据包发送至应用服务器。
针对上述步骤302提到的该第一方向的数据包和该第二方向的数据包对应同一个业务，有多种实现方式，一种可能地实现方式中，该第一通信设备获取该第一方向的数据包的组标识；若该第一通信设备确定该第二方向的数据包的组标识与该第一方向的数据包的组标识具有关联关系，则确定该第一方向的数据包和该第二方向的数据包对应同一个业务。该第一方向的数据包中包括组标识，该第二方向的数据包中包括组标识。
本申请实施例中两个组标识具有关联关系可以是根据组标识本身的特征来确定、也可以是根据预设的运算公式来计算出两个组标识具有关联关系，也可以是查询组标识对应关系表来确定两个组标识具有关联关系。其中，组标识对应关系表中包括一些具有关联关系的组标识。下面通过方案a1、方案a2、方案a3和方案a4分别对几种可能地实现方式进行 介绍。
方案a1，该第二方向的数据包的组标识与该第一方向的数据包的组标识具有关联关系包括：该第二方向的数据包的组标识与该第一方向的数据包的组标识相同。
方案a2，该第二方向的数据包的组标识与该第一方向的数据包的组标识具有关联关系包括：该第二方向的数据包的组标识中的预设字段与该第一方向的数据包的组标识的预设字段相同。预设字段比如可以是组标识中的部分字段，比如可以为组标识中的前3个字符。
方案a3，该第二方向的数据包的组标识与该第一方向的数据包的组标识具有关联关系包括：将该第一方向的数据包的组标识做为输入，运行预设运算公式，若输出的值与该第二方向的数据包的组标识相同，则确定该第二方向的数据包的组标识与该第一方向的数据包的组标识具有关联关系。
方案a4，该第二方向的数据包的组标识与该第一方向的数据包的组标识具有关联关系包括：查询组标识对应关系表，若该第一方向的数据包的组标识在组标识对应关系表中所对应的组标识，与该第二方向的数据包的组标识相同，则确定该第二方向的数据包的组标识与该第一方向的数据包的组标识具有关联关系。
针对第一方向的数据包携带的组标识以及第二方向的数据包携带的组标识，组标识的位置有多种实现方式。本申请实施例中提供几种可能的实现方式。
图8示例性示出了一种网络架构示意图，如图8所示，示出了终端设备侧的应用层、传输层、网际协议(Internet Protocol，IP)层和服务数据适应协议(Service Data Adaptation Protocol，SDAP)层。还示出了RAN侧的SDAP层和通用分组无线服务道协议(General Packet Radio Service Tunneling Protocol，GTP)层，以及UPF侧GTP层和IP层。
对于上行的数据包来说，终端设备生成上行的数据包，该上行的数据包经过RAN发送至UPF。一种示例中，针对上行的数据包，终端设备侧在应用层给上行数据包打上组标识。终端设备在IP层将从应用层读取到的该上行的数据包的组标识写入该IP层，比如可以写入该IP层的option中。进一步终端设备在SDAP层将从IP层读取到的该上行的数据包的组标识写入该SDAP层的header。进一步，可选地，终端设备可以在交互式业务的上行的数据包打上时间戳，比如在该上行的数据包的SDAP层打上时间戳，该时间戳用于指示该上行的数据包的发送时间。终端设备将该上行的数据包发送至RAN。RAN可以从SDAP层读取组标识，并将该组标识写入该上行的数据包的GTP层。RAN将该上行的数据包发送至UPF。UPF收到该上行的数据包后，可以从GTP层获取该上行的数据包的组标识。服务器收到该上行的数据包后，可以从GTP层获取该上行的数据包的组标识。
又一种示例中，针对上行的数据包，终端设备侧在应用层给上行数据包打上组标识。终端设备在IP层将从应用层读取到的该上行的数据包的组标识写入该IP层，比如可以写入该IP层的option中。终端设备将该上行的数据包通过RAN发送至UPF。UPF收到该上行的数据包后，可以从IP层获取该上行的数据包的组标识。服务器收到该上行的数据包后，可以从IP层获取该上行的数据包的组标识。
第三种示例中，针对下行的数据包中，服务器收到上行的数据包后，在依据该上行的数据包生成下行的数据包时，会读取该上行的数据包中的组标识，并将与该组标识具有关联关系的组标识携带在该下行的数据包中。比如可以将该下行的数据包中包括的组标识携带于该下行的数据包的IP层。服务器将该下行的数据包发送至UPF。UPF收到下行的数据包后，可以从IP层(比如IP层的option)中读取该下行的数据包中携带的组标识。终 端设备收到下行的数据包后，可以从IP层(比如IP层的option)中读取该下行的数据包中携带的组标识。
针对上述步骤303，一种可能地实现上述步骤303的实施方式中，该第一通信设备根据总传输时延需求和第一方向的数据包的发送时间，确定第二方向的目标传输时延，包括：该第一通信设备根据接收到该第一方向的数据包的时间，以及第一方向的数据包中的时间戳，确定该第一方向的传输时延。该第一通信设备根据总传输时延需求，以及该第一方向的传输时延的差值，确定第二方向的目标传输时延。举个例子，当第一通信设备为服务器时，第一方向的传输时延可以是指终端设备和应用服务器之间的传输时延。当第一通信设备为用户面网元时，第一方向的传输时延可以是指终端设备和用户面网元之间的传输时延。当第一通信设备为终端设备时，第一方向的传输时延可以是指终端设备和应用服务器之间的传输时延或者终端设备和用户面网元之间的传输时延。结合图8所示的例子进行示例性说明，如图8所示，以第一通信设备为UPF为例来说，UPF接收到上行的数据包之后，可以记录下该上行的数据包的到达时间，并根据该上行数据包中的时间戳，计算出该上行的数据包的上行传输时延，进而将总传输时延需求和上行传输时延的差值作为下行的数据包的目标传输时延。
针对上述步骤303，又一种可能地实现上述步骤303的实施方式中，该第一通信设备根据总传输时延需求和第一方向的数据包的发送时间，确定第二方向的目标传输时延，包括：该第一通信设备确定收到该第二方向的数据包的时间与该时间戳之间的时长。该第一通信设备根据总传输时延需求与该时长的差值，确定第二方向的目标传输时延。结合图8所示的例子进行示例性说明，如图8所示，以第一通信设备为UPF为例来说，UPF接收上行的数据包和下行的数据包，并在收到下行的数据包的情况下，记下收到的下行的数据包的达到时间，计算该上行的数据包的时间戳和该下行的数据包达到UPF的时间之间的时长，并将总传输时延需求与该时长的差值作为目标传输时延。
在上述步骤304中，可以使第二方向的数据包的传输时延尽量满足第二方向的目标传输时延，比如使第二方向的数据包的传输时延不大于第二方向的目标传输时延。举例，如果总传输时延需求为20ms，当上行的数据包的传输时延为5ms，则当UPF接收到下行的数据包时，应该控制该下行的数据包的传输时延不大于15ms，15ms可以称为下行的目标传输时延。如此，相比现有技术中仅仅是根据Qos flow中的服务质量参数去发送第二方向的数据包的方案，本方案可以更加灵活、更加准确且以更细粒度的调度第二方向的数据包的发送。
本申请实施例中网络可以通过QoS flow机制对传输的业务进行QoS保障。具体来说，终端设备可以与用户面网元之间建立QoS flow，将QoS相同的业务通过同一个QoS flow进行传输。比如可以为建立一个QoS flow1和QoS flow2，分别用于传输两类QoS对应的数据。本申请实施例中QoS flow中对应包括多个QoS参数。表1示例性示出了部分QoS参数的示意表，如表1所示，服务质量参数可以包括5G QoS标识(5G QoS identifier，5QI)、传输时延(Packet Delay Budget)、包错误率(Packet Error Rate)、优先级(Default Priority Level)等等。虽然表1中未示出，本领域技术人员可知，QoS参数还包括很多，比如还可以包括业务传输比特率、业务丢包率等参数。其中，5QI是一个标量，用于索引到对应的5G QoS特征。5QI分为标准化的5QI、预配置的5QI和动态分配的5QI。对于标准化的5QI，与一组标准化的5G QoS特征值一一对应；对于预配置的5QI，对应的5G QoS特征值预配 置在RAN设备上；对于动态分配的5QI，对应的5G QoS特征由核心网设备通过QoS文件(QoS profile)发送给RAN设备。优先级指示在QoS流中调度资源的优先级。

针对上述步骤304，一种可能地实现上述步骤304的实施方式中，若该第二方向的数据包的第二方向的传输时延需求不满足该第二方向的目标传输时延，则可以在发送该第二方向的数据包之前调整第二方向的数据包的服务质量参数，之后根据调整后的服务质量参数来发送第二方向的数据包。
其中，本申请实施例涉及到的对服务质量参数的调整可以包括对业务的QoS流标识(QoS Flow Identifier，QFI)、5QI、数据包传输时延、业务传输比特率以及业务丢包率中的一项或多项进行调整。其中，当第二方向的数据包的第二方向的传输时延需求不满足该第二方向的目标传输时延时，需要对服务质量参数进行调整，以使第二方向的数据包的传输速度加快。可选地，可以针对第二方向的数据包执行以下内容中的一项或多项：
调低该第二方向的数据包的服务质量参数中的传输时延；
提高该第二方向的数据包的发送优先级；
提高该第二方向的业务传输比特率；
提高业务丢包率。
一种可选地实施方式中，若对时延参数进行调整，则调低后的该第二方向的数据包的服务质量参数中的传输时延尽量满足第二方向的目标传输时延，比如调低后的该第二方向的数据包的服务质量参数中的传输时延不大于第二方向的目标传输时延，如此，相比现有技术中仅仅是根据Qos flow中的服务质量参数去发送第二方向的数据包的方案，本方案可以对服务质量参数进行修改，以便达到以更细的粒度控制第二方向的数据包的发送的效果。
另一种可选地实施方式中，若对优先级进行调整，优先级可以包括QFI和/或5QI，则提高后的该第二方向的数据包的优先级尽量满足第二方向的目标传输时延，比如根据提高后的该第二方向的数据包的优先级发送第二方向的数据包，这种情况下第二方向的数据包的第二方向的传输时延不大于第二方向的目标传输时延，如此，相比现有技术中仅仅是根据Qos flow中的服务质量参数去发送第二方向的数据包的方案，本方案可以对优先级进行修改，以便达到以更细的粒度控制第二方向的数据包的发送的效果。
针对上述步骤303之前，还包括第一通信设备获取总传输时延需求。可以通过多种实现方式获取总传输时延需求，比如可以通过会话建立过程、会话修改过程以及公用数据网(Public Data Network，PDN)连接过程等等以获取该业务的该总传输时延需求。下面以会话建立过程为分组数据单元(packet data unit，PDU)会话建立过程，会话修改过程为PDU会话修改过程为例进行介绍。本申请实施例中，PDU会话可以为终端设备与数据网络(data network，DN)之间的一个关联，用于提供一个PDU连接服务。

步骤702，第二通信设备触发会话修改流程，会话修改流程用于对业务的服务质量参数进行修改；
其中，第一条件包括以下内容中的一项或多项：

业务的第二方向的传输时延大于业务的第二方向的传输时延需求；
业务的总传输时延大于业务的总传输时延需求，总传输时延为上行传输时延与下行传输时延之和；总传输时延需求为上行传输时延需求和下行传输时延需求之和。
其中，第二通信设备可以通过会话建立过程或会话修改过程获取业务的总传输时延需求。总传输时延需求为上行传输时延需求和下行传输时延需求之和。其中上行传输时延和下行传输时延的获取方式可以参见上述图9和图10中所提到的相关内容。
通过上述步骤701和步骤702提供的方案，本申请实施例中当业务对应的传输时延不满足传输时延需求时，则可以通过触发的会话修改流程对QoS参数进行修改。也就是说，本申请实施例中通过引入QoS反馈机制，在传输时延不满足传输时延需求的情况下，对QoS参数进行修改。
在上述步骤702中，会话修改流程的触发事件有多种，本申请实施例中增加了会话修改流程的触发事件，会话修改流程的触发事件也可以参见上述图10的步骤601的相关内容。一种可选地实施方式中，为上述图10的步骤601提供以下几种用于触发会话修改流程的事件：
事件1，UE触发，如UE请求增加、修改、删除QoS Flow。
事件2，PCF触发，如PCF基于内部或外部状态的修改而发起策略规则信息的更新。
事件3，UDM触发，如会话相关签约信息发生更新。
事件4，SMF触发，如SMF基于本地策略触发增加、修改或者删除QoS Flow等等。
事件5，(R)AN触发，如当(R)AN判断某些QoS Flow的QoS特性无法被满足或可以重新满足时，AN也可以通过发起会话修改流程以通知网络。
其中，在上述事件1中，也可以是终端设备在执行上述步骤701之后，触发的会话修改流程。在上述事件4中，SMF触发会话修改流程，也可以是在收到第二通信设备发送的第一信令之后触发的。可选地，第二通信设备在执行上述步骤701之后，第二通信设备可以发送第一信令给SMF(比如当第二通信设备为服务器，则服务器可以通过NEF发送第一信令给SMF；再比如当第二通信设备为终端设备，则终端设备可以向SMF发送第一信令；再比如当第二通信设备为UPF，则UPF可以向SMF发送第一信令)。第一信令用于使SMF发送会话修改请求。
在上述步骤702中，第一信令包括：用于指示服务质量参数中的待调整参数的调整后的值的指示信息。待调整参数包括以下内容中的一项或多项：QFI、5QI、数据包传输时延、业务传输比特率以及业务丢包率。也就是说，对服务质量参数进行修改可以是对业务的QFI、5QI、数据包传输时延、业务的传输比特率以及业务的丢包率中的一项或多项进行修改。 优先级可以包括QFI和/或5QI。
其中，用于指示服务质量参数中的待调整参数的调整后的值的指示信息可以是上行数据包对应的服务质量参数中的待调整参数的调整后的值，比如是一个建议的上行数据包对应的服务质量参数中的待调整参数的调整后的值。当然也可以是第一方向的传输时延和/或第二方向的传输时延。再比如，还可以是上行数据包对应的服务质量参数中的传输时延的调整量，和/或，下行数据包对应的服务质量参数中的传输时延的调整量。举个例子，上行传输时延需求是5ms，上行传输时延为7ms，则第一信令中可以包括用于指示将上行数据包对应的服务质量参数中的传输时延调整为3ms的指示信息。用于指示将上行数据包对应的服务质量参数中的传输时延调整为3ms的指示信息可以是3ms，也可以是7ms，也可以是4ms(7ms-3ms＝4ms)。
其中，用于指示调整后的业务的优先级的指示信息可以是上行数据包对应的调整后的服务质量参数中的优先级，和/或，下行数据包对应的调整后的服务质量参数中的优先级，比如是一个建议的上行数据包对应的调整后的服务质量参数中的优先级。
在上述步骤701之前，还包括第二通信设备确定业务的传输时延。其中，业务对应的传输时延可以是业务的上行传输时延，或者是业务的下行传输时延，再或者是业务的总传输时延。第二通信设备确定业务的传输时延具体来说可以分为以下情况b1、情况b2和情况b3来描述。上述图11中的步骤713和步骤714仅仅是示例其中一种第二通信设备确定业务的传输时延的方案，上述步骤713和步骤714提供的用于确定业务的传输时延的方案在下述情况b3中进行介绍。下述情况b3中是以第二通信设备为终端设备为例在图11中进行示例的。在实际运用中，第二通信设备也可以是其它网元，比如第二通信设备为UPF或服务器。
情况b1，若第一条件包括第一方向的传输时延大于第一方向的传输时延需求，则第二通信设备接收第一方向的时延探测数据包，第一方向的时延探测数据包是根据业务的第一方向的服务质量参数发送的；第一方向的时延探测数据包包括用于指示第一方向的时延探测数据包的发送时间的时间戳；第二通信设备根据第一方向的时延探测数据包的接收时间，以及第一方向的时延探测数据包的发送时间，确定业务的第一方向的传输时延。
本申请实施例中时延探测数据包的英文可以称为ping packets。
情况b2，若第二条件包括第二方向的传输时延大于第二方向的传输时延需求，则：第二通信设备在确定业务对应的传输时延满足第二条件之前，还包括：第二通信设备接收第二方向的时延探测数据包，第二方向的时延探测数据包是根据业务的第二方向的服务质量参数发送的；第二方向的时延探测数据包包括用于指示第二方向的时延探测数据包的发送时间的时间戳；第二通信设备根据第二方向的时延探测数据包的接收时间，以及第二方向的时延探测数据包的发送时间，确定业务的第二方向的传输时延。
情况b3，在图11中以第二通信设备为终端设备，以第一方向为上行，第二方向为下行为例进行介绍。若第一条件包括总传输时延大于业务的总传输时延需求，则在上述步骤701之前执行上述步骤713和步骤714。
本申请实施例中第一方向的时延探测数据包是根据该业务的第一方向的服务质量参数发送的，第二方向的时延探测数据包是根据该业务的第二方向的服务质量参数发送的。第二通信设备可以根据上述图9和图10所提到的会话建立请求和会话修改请求中的相关流程获取第一方向的服务质量参数和/或第二方向的服务质量参数。服务质量参数可以保存 在策略规则信息中。第二通信设备获取第一方向的服务质量参数和/或第二方向的服务质量参数的方式可以参见上述图9和图10中提到的获取上行传输时延需求和下行传输时延需求的方式，方法类似，在此不再赘述。
本申请实施例中，第一方向的时延探测数据包中还包括业务的标识，该业务的标识可以是需要被测试的业务，比如上述步骤701中提到的业务。比如当第一方向为上行，则第一方向的时延探测数据包中包括的业务的标识可以是业务的上行数据包的五元组。当第一方向为下行，则第一方向的时延探测数据包中包括的业务的标识可以是业务的下行数据包的五元组。在情况b3中，可以根据上行的时延探测数据包中包括的业务的标识和下行的时延探测数据包中包括的业务的标识的对应关系，确定出一个业务所对应的上行的时延探测数据包和下行的时延探测数据包。从而可以根据上行的时延探测数据包的发送时间和下行的时延探测数据包的接收时间确定业务的第二方向的传输时延。
在情况b1、情况b2和情况b3中，第一方向的时延探测数据包和第二方向的时延探测数据包的两端可以是终端设备至UPF之间的，也就是说，第一方向的时延探测数据包和第二方向的时延探测数据包是在终端设备和UPF之间传输的。这种情况下，确定的第一方向的传输时延、第二方向的传输时延和总传输时延都是终端设备至UPF之间的。另一种可选地实施方式中，在情况b1、情况b2和情况b3中，第一方向的时延探测数据包和第二方向的时延探测数据包的两端可以是终端设备至服务器之间的，也就是说，第一方向的时延探测数据包和第二方向的时延探测数据包是在终端设备和应用服务器之间传输的。这种情况下，确定的第一方向的传输时延、第二方向的传输时延和总传输时延都是终端设备至服务器之间的。
以图3所示的通信系统应用于如图4或图5所示的非漫游场景下的5G网络架构为例，如图12所示，为本申请实施例提供的一种数据传输方法，图12的方案可以由图3中的核心网网元1201执行，核心网网元比如可以为上述图2中的NEF或者PCF。如图12所示，该方法包括：
步骤801，核心网网元接收应用服务器发送的业务的总传输时延需求。
在步骤801中，服务器发送的请求可以是会话QoS建立请求。具体实现中会话QoS建立请求可以是.Nnef_AFsessionWithQoS_Create request。
可选地，总传输时延需求对应有业务的标识，服务器可以把业务的标识，以及业务的标识对应的总传输时延需求发送至核心网网元。
步骤802，核心网网元根据业务的总传输时延需求，确定业务的上行数据包对应的服务质量参数和下行数据包对应的服务质量参数。
在步骤802中，可以由NEF执行。若NEF执行，则在执行步骤802后可以执行步骤803。
在上述步骤802中，针对该上行数据包对应的服务质量参数和该下行数据包对应的服务质量参数中的一个服务质量参数包括以下内容中的一项或多项：QFI、5QI、数据包传输时延、业务传输比特率以及业务丢包率。
通过上述步骤802，核心网网元可以根据该业务的总传输时延需求，进行上行和下行的QoS需求的分解，以得到该业务的上行数据包对应的服务质量参数和下行数据包对应的服务质量参数。一方面，因为对于一些业务来说，比如上述图1中所提到的交互式业务，服务器并不关心上行传输时延和下行传输时延，而是更加关心总传输时延，因此服务器只 要上报自身需要多少总传输时延需求即可。之后由核心网网元来进行上行和下行的QoS需求的分解。如此，网元间的工作分配更加合理。
举个例子，比如，业务的总传输时延需求为20ms。核心网网元根据总时延需求为20ms，在上行传输和下行传输之间分配QoS需求，比如可以将上行传输时延需求设置为5ms。将下行传输时延需求设置为15ms。上行传输传输时延是上行数据包对应的QoS flow对应的服务质量参数，下行传输传输时延是下行数据包对应的QoS flow对应的服务质量参数。
在上述步骤802中，有多种实现方式，一种可选地实现方式中，核心网网元可以只根据该业务的总传输时延需求，确定该业务的上行传输时延需求和下行传输时延需求。另外一种可选地实现方式中，该核心网网元根据网络能力和网络状态中的至少一项，以及该业务的总传输时延需求，确定该业务的上行传输时延需求和下行传输时延需求。如此，确定出的业务的上行数据包对应的服务质量参数和下行数据包对应的服务质量参数可以更加的合理，且数据包的实际时延与服务质量参数中所要求的时延误差可以减小。
一种可选地实施方式中，该网络能力包括：网络的上行带宽能力，和/或，网络的下行带宽能力。另一种可选地实施方式中，该网络状态包括以下内容中的一项或多项：接入网的上行链路的负载情况；接入网的下行链路的负载情况；上行时延探测数据包的上行传输时延；下行时延探测数据包的下行传输时延。
步骤803，核心网网元可以通过会话建立流程或者会话修改流程将该业务的上行数据包对应的服务质量参数和下行数据包对应的服务质量参数发送给会话管理网元(比如图2中的SMF网元)，并由会话管理网元执行该业务的上行数据包对应的服务质量参数和下行数据包对应的服务质量参数。
例如，在步骤803中，当核心网网元为PCF时，可以通过上述图9的步骤503或者上述图10的步骤602将该业务的上行数据包对应的服务质量参数和下行数据包对应的服务质量参数发送给SMF。
在步骤803中，会话管理网元执行该业务的上行数据包对应的服务质量参数和下行数据包对应的服务质量参数，可以包括会话管理网元将上行数据包对应的服务质量参数和下行数据包对应的服务质量参数发送给用户面网元，用户面网元根据上行数据包对应的服务质量参数来调度上行数据包，根据下行数据包对应的服务质量参数来调度下行数据包。
在上述图12中，若上述步骤802不是被NEF执行，比如被PCF执行，则NEF可以向PCF发送策略授权创建请求，PCF收到该请求后执行步骤802。执行步骤802之后向NEF向服务器返回会话QoS建立响应。该实施方式通过图13所示的另一种数据传输方法进行示意，在图13中以图12中的核心网网元为PCF为例进行示意，该方法包括：
步骤901，服务器向NEF发送会话QoS建立请求。
具体实现中，会话QoS建立请求可以是.Nnef_AFsessionWithQoS_Create request，其中可以包括业务的总传输时延需求。
步骤902，NEF向PCF发送策略授权创建请求。
具体实现中，策略授权创建请求可以是Npcf_Policy Authorization_Create request；
步骤903，PCF根据该业务的总传输时延需求，确定该业务的上行数据包对应的服务质量参数和下行数据包对应的服务质量参数。
具体实施中，在步骤903之后PCF可以执行上述步骤803的方案，即PCF可以通过会话建立流程或者会话修改流程将该业务的上行数据包对应的服务质量参数和下行数据 包对应的服务质量参数发送给会话管理网元。该部分相关方案参见图8相关描述，此处不再赘述。
步骤904，PCF向NEF发送策略授权创建响应。
具体实现中，策略授权创建响应可以是Npcf_Policy Authorization_Create response。
步骤905，NEF返回会话QoS建立响应。
具体实现中，QoS建立响QoS建立响可以是.Nnef_AFsessionWithQoS_Create response。
