Description

一种配置无线承载的方法、装置及系统

技术领域
本申请实施例涉及通信技术领域,尤其涉及一种配置无线承载的方法、装置及系统。
背景技术
随着移动互联网的发展,视频业务占数据业务的比重越来越高,视频业务对移动网络的冲击越来越大,通过空口组播优化视频业务传输可以减少视频业务对移动网络的冲击。虽然第3代移动通信技术(3rd-Generation mobile communication technology,3G)网络和第4代移动通信技术(the 4 Generation mobile communication technology,4G)网络支持组播业务。
现有技术中,基站可以采用单播传输(即点到点,Point to point)或组播传输(即点到多点,Point to Multipoint)的方式向终端发送组播业务(Multicast Service)。例如,当基站向多个终端发送组播业务的数据,该多个终端中存在一部分终端采用单播传输,而另一部分终端采用组播传输时,对于采用单播传输的终端,基站生成针对单播传输的组播业务的数据,对于采用组播传输的终端,基站生成针对组播传输的组播业务的数据。即组播业务的同一个数据,针对支持不同传输方式的终端,基站需要生成不同类型的数据,这样会增加基站处理组播业务的数据复杂度。
发明内容

具体实施方式
为了便于清楚描述本申请实施例的技术方案,在本申请的实施例中,采用了“第一”、“第二”等字样对功能和作用基本相同的相同项或相似项进行区分。例如,第 一终端和第二终端仅仅是为了区分不同的终端,并不对其先后顺序进行限定。本领域技术人员可以理解“第一”、“第二”等字样并不对数量和执行次序进行限定,并且“第一”、“第二”等字样也并不限定一定不同。
需要说明的是,本申请中,“示例性的”或者“例如”等词用于表示作例子、例证或说明。本申请中被描述为“示例性的”或者“例如”的任何实施例或设计方案不应被解释为比其他实施例或设计方案更优选或更具优势。确切而言,使用“示例性的”或者“例如”等词旨在以具体方式呈现相关概念。
本申请实施例描述的网络架构以及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,随着网络架构的演变和新业务场景的出现,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。
本申请中,“至少一个”是指一个或者多个,“多个”是指两个或两个以上。“和/或”,描述关联对象的关联关系,表示可以存在三种关系,例如,A和/或B,可以表示:单独存在A,同时存在A和B,单独存在B的情况,其中A,B可以是单数或者复数。字符“/”一般表示前后关联对象是一种“或”的关系。“以下至少一项(个)”或其类似表达,是指的这些项中的任意组合,包括单项(个)或复数项(个)的任意组合。例如,a,b,或c中的至少一项(个),可以表示:a,b,c,a-b,a-c,b-c,或a-b-c,其中a,b,c可以是单个,也可以是多个。
本申请实施例描述的系统架构以及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,随着网络架构的演变和新业务场景的出现,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。本申请实施例中以提供的方法应用于NR系统或5G网络中为例进行说明。
如图1所示,为本申请实施例提供的一种通信系统的架构示意图,该通信系统包括:基站10以及与基站10通信的多个终端(例如,终端1、终端2、…、终端n)。其中,n为大于或等于1的整数。多个终端可以接收来自基站10的组播/广播业务的数据。
本申请实施例中的组播/广播业务指:组播业务或广播(broadcast Service)业务,所谓组播业务可以指:某一业务可以针对性地向某个通信群组发送,这样该业务可以被加入同一个通信群组的终端接收到。而广播业务可以指:某个业务可以以广播的方式发送,在广播范围内的多个终端均可以接收到以广播方式发送的该业务,但是并不限定该多个终端属于同一个通信群组。
以多个终端为例,该多个终端可以加入同一个组播/广播业务,换言之多个终端可以接收同一个组播/广播业务,也可以加入不同的组播/广播业务。例如,该多个终端中各个终端加入的组播/广播业务均不相同。本申请实施例中的组播也可以称为多播。
需要说明的是,当多个终端加入的组播业务相同时,该多个终端可以组成一个通信群组(例如,可以称为广播群组或组播群组),该通信群组中的终端可以同时接收相同数据,即组播/广播业务的数据。
为了使得通信群组中的终端能够更好地接收组播/广播业务的数据,本申请实施例 中基站10可以为该组播/广播业务配置组播无线承载,以及向通信群组中的终端发送该组播无线承载的配置信息。相应地,终端可以根据接收到的组播无线承载的配置信息建立该终端与基站10之间的组播无线承载。然后,基站10可以在该组播无线承载上向终端发送组播/广播业务的数据。
如图1所示,该通信系统还可以包括:核心网网元20,用于向基站10发送第一请求消息或第二请求消息,或者向基站10发送安全参数。
具体的,图1所示通信系统可以为第三代合作伙伴计划(3rd generation partnership project,3GPP)中的通信系统,例如,长期演进(long term evolution,LTE)通信系统,或者,第五代(5th generation,5G)通信系统或者新空口(new radio,NR)通信系统,也可以是非3GPP通信系统,不予限制。
以图1所示的通信系统为5G通信系统为例,如图2a所示,上述核心网网元可以为5G通信系统中的会话管理功能(session management function,SMF)网元,上述基站可以为5G通信系统中的无线接入网(radio access network,RAN)设备。
此外,在图2a所示的通信系统中,除了包括SMF网元和RAN设备之外,该系统还可以包括:接入和移动性管理功能(access and mobility management function,AMF)网元、策略控制功能(policy control function,PCF)网元、会话锚点(PDU session anchor,PSA)(也可以称为用户面功能(user plane function,UPF)网元)、鉴权服务器功能(authentication server function,AUSF)网元、网络切片选择功能(network slice selection function,NSSF)网元、统一数据管理(unified data management,UDM)网元、数据网络(data network,DN)、应用功能(Application function,AF)网元、组播控制功能(Multicast Control Function,MCF),组播用户面功能(Multicast User Plane Function,MUF)等。
其中,MCF网元可以用于对组播/广播业务进行控制。MCF网元与内容提供商(Content Provider,CP)存在通信接口,以便接收组播业务的信息(例如,组播业务的描述)。MCF网元与PCF存在通信接口,以便为组播业务创建资源。
其中,MUF网元用于传递组播报文,即将从CP接收到的组播报文(即组播/多播业务的数据)发送给下行节点UPF网元。
需要说明的是,CP可以是一种应用功能网元。
可选的,图2a所示的系统中还可以包括中间UPF(Intermediate UPF,I-UPF)网元,用于实现业务流分流。
如图2a所示,终端通过N1接口(简称N1)与AMF网元通信。AMF网元通过N11接口(简称N11)与SMF网元通信。SMF网元通过N4接口(简称N4)与一个或者多个UPF网元通信。一个或多个UPF网元中任意两个UPF网元通过N9接口(简称N9)通信,例如,I-UPF网元和UPF网元之间通过N9接口通信,(R)AN和I-UPF网元之间具有N3接口。UPF网元通过N6接口(简称N6)与AF网元管控的数据网络(data network,DN)通信。
终端通过(R)AN与5G核心网(5G Core,5GC)通信,(R)AN与AMF网元之间通过N2接口(简称N2)通信。SMF网元通过N7接口(简称N7)与PCF网元通信,PCF网元通过N5接口与AF网元通信。(R)AN通过N3接口(简称N3)与 UPF网元通信。任意两个AMF网元之间通过N14接口(简称N14)通信。SMF网元通过N10接口(简称N10)与UDM网元通信。AMF网元通过N12接口(简称N12)与AUSF网元通信。AUSF网元通过N13接口(简称N13)与UDM网元通信。AMF网元通过N8接口(简称N8)与UDM网元通信。
应理解,图2a所示的通信系统架构中,5GC中的控制面网元也可以采用服务化接口进行交互。例如,如图2b所示,AMF网元、SMF网元、UDM网元、或者PCF网元采用服务化接口(service based interface)进行交互。比如,AMF网元对外提供的服务化接口可以为Namf。SMF网元对外提供的服务化接口可以为Nsmf。UDM网元对外提供的服务化接口可以为Nudm。PCF网元对外提供的服务化接口可以为Npcf。应理解,各种服务化接口的名称的相关描述可以参考现有技术中的5G系统架构(5G system architecture)图,在此不予赘述。
需要说明的是,图2a或图2b仅是示例性的给出一个UPF网元、SMF网元。当然,该中可能包括多个UPF网元、SMF网元,如包括SMF网元1和SMF网元2,本申请实施例对此不作具体限定。
需要说明的是,图2a或图2b的(R)AN、AMF网元、SMF网元、UDM网元、UPF网元、PCF网元、鉴权服务功能(authentication server function,AUSF)网元等仅是一个名字,名字对设备本身不构成限定。在5G网络以及未来其它的网络中,(R)AN、AMF网元、SMF网元、UDM网元、UPF网元和PCF网元所对应的网元或实体也可以是其他的名字,本申请实施例对此不作具体限定。例如,该UDM网元还有可能被替换为用户归属服务器(home subscriber server,HSS)或者用户签约数据库(user subscription database,USD)或者数据库实体,等等,在此进行统一说明,后续不再赘述。
图2a或图2b所示的通信系统中,MCF网元可以集成到PCF网元中,MUF网元可集成到UPF网元中,本申请实施例对此不做限定。
在该图3a所示的架构中,可以通过为终端服务的SMF网元、AMF网元为组播/广播业务分配资源。也可以通过专门的SMF网元、AMF网元为组播/广播业务分配资源,即,该SMF网元/AMF网元专门负责组播/广播业务的管理和控制,为了更清晰描述方案,图3a中的M-SMF和M-AMF是负责组播业务的管理和控制的SMF网元和AMF网元。当然,在实际部署时,该M-SMF网元和M-AMF网元也可以为终端进行服务,只是,在管理组播/广播业务时,该M-SMF网元/M-AMF网元不一定服务于正在接收该组播/广播业务的终端。
其中,AMF网元、SMF网元、UPF网元是为终端服务的AMF网元、SMF网元和UPF网元。UPF网元仅负责终端单播业务的数据传递,若终端接入组播/广播业务,组播/广播业务经过MUF网元、M-UPF网元、(R)AN发送给终端。M-SMF网元、M-AMF网元、M-PCF网元用于对组播/广播业务的资源进行管理,M-PCF网元根据MCF网元的业务描述进行组播/广播业务的QoS参数的制定,M-SMF和M-AMF用于在(R)AN上创建组播上下文(或者称为组播会话)。SMF网元与MCF网元接口(或与M-PCF网元接口,图中未画出)获取组播信息,以便将终端加入组播/广播业务。上述M-SMF、M-AMF、M-PCF是组播/广播业务相关的SMF网元、AMF网元、PCF网元,加上“M-” 是为了与为上述终端服务的SMF网元、AMF网元、PCF网元进行区分。
可选的,图2a或图2b所示的架构也可以变形为图3b所示的架构,在图3b所示的架构中MCF网元类似一个SMF网元,该MCF网元负责组播业务的管理。若MCF网元为SMF网元,该SMF网元也可以为终端的会话提供服务,本发明对此不做限定。
在该图3b所示的架构中,CP与PCF网元/NEF网元接口,以便将组播业务信息发送给PCF网元。若CP与NEF网元接口,则CP先将组播业务信息发送给NEF网元,再由NEF网元发送给PCF网元,或者CP直接与PCF接口。MCF网元从PCF网元获取组播业务对应的PCC规则,以便为该组播业务创建相应的资源(即组播会话)。
MCF网元通过M-AMF网元与基站接口。该M-AMF网元也可以为终端提供服务。为终端服务的SMF网元与PCF网元接口,以便获得组播业务相关的信息。

数据网络(data network,DN)指的是为终端提供数据传输服务的运营商网络,如IMS(IP Multi-media Service,IP多媒体业务)、Internet等。
终端,可以是指向用户提供语音和/或数据连通性的设备,具有无线连接功能的手持式设备、或连接到无线调制解调器的其他处理设备。无线终端可以经RAN与一个或多个核心网进行通信。无线终端可以是用户设备(user equipment,UE)、手持终端、笔记本电脑、用户单元(subscriber unit)、蜂窝电话(cellular phone)、智能电话(smart phone)、无线数据卡、个人数字助理(personal digital assistant,PDA)电脑、平板型电脑、无线调制解调器(modem)、手持设备(handheld)、膝上型电脑(laptop computer)、无绳电话(cordless phone)或者无线本地环路(wireless local loop,WLL)台、机器类型通信(machine type communication,MTC)终端或是其他可以接入网络的设备。终端与接入网设备之间采用某种空口技术(例如,3GPP接入技术或者非3GPP接入技术)相互通信。
由于未来接入网可以采用云无线接入网(cloud radio access network,C-RAN)架构来实现,一种可能的方式是将传统基站的协议栈架构和功能分割为两部分,一部分称为集中单元(central unit,CU),另一部分称为分布单元(distributed unit,DU),而CU和DU的实际部署方式比较灵活,例如多个基站的CU部分集成在一起,组成一个规模较大的功能实体。如图4a所示,其为本申请实施例提供的一种网络架构的示意图。
如图4a所示,该网络架构包括核心网(core network,CN)设备和接入网(以RAN为例)设备。其中RAN设备包括基带装置和射频装置,其中基带装置可以由一个节点实现,也可以由多个节点实现,射频装置可以从基带装置拉远独立实现,也可以集成基带装置中,或者部分拉远部分集成在基带装置中。例如,在LTE通信系统中,RAN设备(eNB)包括基带装置和射频装置,其中射频装置可以相对于基带装置拉远布置(例如射频拉远单元(radio remote unit,RRU)相对于基带处理单元(building base band unit,BBU)),RAN设备由一个节点实现,该节点用于实现无线资源控制(radio resource control,RRC)、分组数据汇聚层协议(packet data convergence protocol,PDCP)、无线链路控制(radio link control,RLC)、媒体接入控制(medium access control,MAC)等协议层的功能。再如,在一种演进结构中,基带装置可以包括CU和DU,多个DU可以由一个CU集中控制。如图4a所示,CU和DU可以根据无线网络的协议层划分,例如分组数据汇聚层协议层及以上协议层的功能设置在CU,PDCP以下的协议层,例如RLC层和MAC层等的功能设置在DU。
这种协议层的划分仅仅是一种举例,还可以在其它协议层划分,例如在RLC层划分,将RLC层及以上协议层的功能设置在CU,RLC层以下协议层的功能设置在DU;或者,在某个协议层中划分,例如将RLC层的部分功能和RLC层以上的协议层的功能设置在CU,将RLC层的剩余功能和RLC层以下的协议层的功能设置在DU。此外,也可以按其它方式划分,例如按时延划分,将处理时间需要满足时延要求的功能设置在DU,不需要满足该时延要求的功能设置在CU。
此外,射频装置可以拉远,不放在DU中,也可以集成在DU中,或者部分拉远部分集成在DU中,在此不作任何限制。
此外,请继续参考图4b,相对于图4b所示的架构,还可以将CU的控制面(control plane,CP)和用户面(user plane,UP)分离,分成不同实体来实现,分别为控制面CU实体(CU-CP实体)和用户面CU实体(CU-UP实体)。
在以上网络架构中,CU产生的数据可以通过DU发送给终端,或者终端产生的数据可以通过DU发送给CU。DU可以不对该数据进行解析而直接通过协议层封装后传给终端或CU。例如,RRC或PDCP层的数据最终会处理为物理层(physical layer,PHY)的数据发送给终端,或者,由接收到的PHY层的数据转变而来。在这种架构下,该RRC或PDCP层的数据,即也可以认为是由DU发送的。
在以上实施例中CU划分为接入网中,此外,也可以将CU划分为核心网,在此不做限制。
本申请以下实施例中的装置,根据其实现的功能,可以位于终端或基站。当采用以上CU-DU的结构时,基站可以为CU节点、或DU节点、或包括CU节点和DU节点功能的RAN设备。
图5为本申请实施例提供的一种通信设备的组成示意图。基站和终端可以参考如图5所示的通信设备的结构。如图5所示,通信设备可以包括至少一个处理器41和存储器42。
下面结合图5对通信设备的各个构成部件进行具体的介绍:
处理器41是通信设备的控制中心,可以是一个处理器,也可以是多个处理元件的统称。例如,处理器41是一个CPU,也可以是特定集成电路(Application Specific Integrated Circuit,ASIC),或者是被配置成实施本申请实施例的一个或多个集成电路,例如:一个或多个微处理器(Digital Signal Processor,DSP),或,一个或者多个现场可编程门阵列(Field Programmable Gate Array,FPGA)。

本申请实施例提供一种配置无线承载的方法,该配置无线承载的方法执行主体可以为基站,也可以为应用于基站中的芯片。或者该配置无线承载的执行主体可以为终端,也可以为应用于终端中的芯片。下述实施例以配置无线承载方法的执行主体为基站,以及以配置无线承载方法的执行主体为终端为例。
参考图6,图6示出了本申请实施例提供的一种配置无线承载的方法的交互实施例,该方法包括:
步骤601、基站接收第一请求消息,该第一请求消息用于请求将第一终端加入组播/广播业务。
其中,第一请求消息可以携带该组播/广播业务的标识,还可以携带指示信息。该指示信息可以用于指示向基站请求将第一终端加入组播/广播业务;该组播/广播业务的标识可以是该组播/广播业务对应的组播地址,也可以是该组播/广播业务对应的组播地址和源地址。
组播/广播业务的标识也可以称为组播/广播业务的数据的识别信息。该组播/广播业务的数据的识别信息可以用于唯一标识该组播/广播业务的数据,组播/广播业务的数据的识别信息可以由应用服务器(即CP)发送给终端。
其中,基站可以通过其与第一终端之间的信令连接(例如,N2信令连接)接收第一请求消息,这样基站便可以根据第一请求消息请求将第一终端加入该组播/广播业务。
其中,第一终端可以为图1中终端1~终端n中的任一终端。基站可以为图1中的基站10,也可以无线接入网设备或接入网设备。
具体地,基站可以接收来自会话管理网元(例如,SMF网元)的第一请求消息。例如,会话管理网元向第一终端接入的接入管理网元(例如,AMF网元)发送第一请求消息,然后由接入管理网元向基站发送第一请求消息。
本申请实施例中的步骤601可以通过以下步骤替换:基站确定将第一终端加入组播/广播业务。
其中,基站确定将第一终端加入组播/广播业务可以由基站根据第一请求消息确定。例如,第一请求消息中携带指示信息,该指示信息用于指示向基站请求将第一终端加入组播/广播业务,则基站根据指示信息确定将第一终端加入组播/广播业务。
步骤602、基站根据组播/广播业务的服务质量(quality of service,QoS)流信息,向第一终端发送组播无线承载的配置信息。
相应的,第一终端接收来自基站的组播无线承载的配置信息。
本申请实施例中的组播无线承载也可以称为组播广播无线承载,在此统一说明。
其中,该组播无线承载的配置信息用于配置组播无线承载。该组播无线承载用于向已加入组播/广播业务的终端传输组播/广播业务的数据,已加入组播/广播业务的终端包括第一终端。
其中,配置信息可以包括分组数据汇聚协议(packet data convergence protocol,PDCP)的配置信息,例如,PDCP的配置信息可以包括以下信息中的一种或多种:PDCP序列号(sequence number,SN)的长度、丢弃计时器的长度、指示是否进行头压缩的指示信息、指示该组播无线承载是否进行完整性保护的指示信息、指示该组播无线承载是否进行加密的指示信息等。该配置信息还可以包括无线链路控制层协议(radio link control,RLC)的配置信息。例如,RLC的配置信息可以为该组播无线承载所采用的传输模式为非确认模式,或者确认模式等。其中,组播/广播业务的数据可以为网络侧向属于通信群组中的一个或多个终端发送的数据。如:通信群组可以为接收同一指挥中心发出的命令的车队或者为接收同一电视节目的群组等。
例如,假设组播/广播业务的数据为某个电视节目,如:CCTV1、CCTV2等电视节目,终端为机顶盒(set top box,STB),STB可以将这些电视节目的相关信息显示给用户。若分别使用终端1(STB1)~终端n(STBn)的用户均想观看CCTV1的电视节目,则基站可以在该组播无线承载上向终端1~终端n发送CCTV1的电视节目,这样便于终端1~终端n的用户收看CCTV1的电视节目。
其中,组播无线承载用于向已加入组播/广播业务的终端传输组播/广播业务的数据可以理解为:该组播无线承载用于向属于同一个通信群组中的各个终端传输组播业务的数据。该通信群组即可以理解为:包括一个或多个已加入组播/广播业务的终端。
本申请实施例中基站可以向加入该组播/广播业务的终端发送组播无线承载的配置信息,以使得基站与该组播/广播业务的终端均建立组播无线承载。后续,基站可以利用该组播无线承载向已加入组播/广播业务的终端传输组播/广播业务的数据。所谓的 基站可以利用该组播无线承载向已加入组播/广播业务的终端传输组播/广播业务的数据可以理解为:基站使用相同的组播无线承载的配置信息对该组播/广播业务的数据进行处理。基站将处理后的组播/广播业务的数据发送给加入该组播/广播业务的终端。加入该组播/广播业务的终端根据相同的无线承载的配置信息进行反向处理可得到相同的组播/广播业务的数据。可以理解的是,加入该组播/广播业务的终端接收到的来自基站的组播无线承载的配置信息相同。
需要说明的是,加入该组播/广播业务的终端中,可能存在部分终端以点到多点(Point to Multipoint,PTM)方式接收组播/广播业务的数据,而另外一部分终端以点到点(Point to point,PTP)方式接收组播/广播业务的数据。无论该加入该组播/广播业务的终端采用何种方式接收组播/广播业务的数据,基站可以在该组播无线承载上向终端传输组播/广播业务的数据。
可以理解的是,本申请实施例中组播/广播业务的QoS流信息可以指该组播/广播业务的对应的至少一个QoS流信息。本申请实施例中基站处具有组播/广播业务对应的至少一个服务质量QoS流信息。该组播/广播业务对应的至少一个服务质量QoS流信息可以由组播会话(与该组播/广播业务对应)对应的SMF网元或MCF网元提供给基站。例如,基站在创建该组播/广播业务对应的组播会话时,基站从SMF网元或MCF网元处获取该组播/广播业务对应的至少一个服务质量QoS流信息。具体地,该组播/广播业务对应的至少一个服务质量QoS流信息可以携带在第一请求消息中,或者,也可以在基站接收第一请求消息之前,基站已经接收到了该组播/广播业务对应的至少一个服务质量QoS流信息。
示例性的,本申请实施例中涉及到的QoS流信息包括该QoS流对应的业务质量流标识(QoS Flow Identifier,QFI)和/或该QoS流所对应的QoS参数。
其中,QoS参数可以包括:5G QoS标识(5G QoS Identifier,5QI)、调度优先级(Priority level)、QoS流的最大带宽、QoS流对应的保障带宽、QoS流对应的分配优先级(Allocation and Retention Priority,ARP)、保障速率(Guaranteed Bit Rate,GBR),非保障速率(Non-Guaranteed Bit Rate,Non-GBR)、QoS流对应的时延中的一个或多个。
在一个示例中,步骤602中基站根据QoS流信息向第一终端发送组播无线承载的配置信息,包括:基站根据组播/广播业务的QoS流信息确定组播无线承载。基站向第一终端发送该确定的组播无线承载的配置信息。
进一步地,基站根据组播/广播业务的QoS流信息确定组播无线承载可以采用如下方式一和方式二实现:
方式一、基站根据组播/广播业务对应的至少一个QoS流信息确定该组播/广播业务对应的至少一个QoS流。基站确定组播/广播业务对应的至少一个QoS流中每个QoS流的组播无线承载,得到组播/广播业务的组播无线承载。换言之,组播/广播业务的组播无线承载包括组播/广播业务的对应的每个QoS流的组播无线承载。
本申请实施例中一个组播/广播业务可以对应至少一个QoS流(例如,语音业务流和视频业务流)。
例如,基站可以为该至少一个QoS流中的每个QoS流分配不同的组播无线承载, 即QoS流和组播无线承载是一一对应的关系(例如,为语音业务流分配组播无线承载2,为视频业务流分配组播无线承载1)。或者,基站也可以为至少一个QoS流中的部分QoS流分配相同的组播无线承载,部分QoS流分配不同的组播无线承载,即QoS流和组播无线承载的关系是多对一的关系,或者,基站也可以为至少一个QoS流中的每个QoS流分配相同的组播无线承载,即该组播/广播业务的所有QoS流均映射到相同的组播无线承载。
具体的,基站可以通过下述方式二确定QoS流和组播无线承载的关系是多对一的关系还是一一对应的关系。
方式二、基站可以根据至少一个QoS流中每个QoS流的QoS参数确定是否将不同的QoS流映射到相同的组播无线承载。例如,以QoS参数为调度优先级为例,基站可以将具有相同调度优先级的QoS流映射到相同的第一组播无线承载,这时可以将第一组播无线承载确定为组播/广播业务的组播无线承载,即QoS流和组播无线承载的关系是多对一的关系。又或者基站可以将具有不同调度优先级的QoS流映射到不同的第二组播无线承载,这些不同的第二组播无线承载作为组播/广播业务的组播无线承载,即QoS流和组播无线承载的关系是一一对应的关系。
例如,基站根据语音业务流的QoS参数和视频业务流的QoS参数确定语音业务流和视频业务流需要的带宽相同,则可以确定将语音业务流和视频业务流映射到同一组播无线承载,也即为语音业务流和视频业务流分配相同的组播无线承载。如果基站根据语音业务流的QoS参数和视频业务流的QoS参数确定语音业务流和视频业务流需要的带宽不同,则基站可以确定将语音业务流和视频业务流映射到不同的组播无线承载,也即为语音业务流和视频业务流分配不同的组播无线承载。例如,语音业务流需要的时延为时延1,而视频业务流需要的时延为时延2,则基站可以为语音业务流分配组播无线承载1,为视频业务流分配组播无线承载2,以便于基站为第一终端发送的组播无线承载的配置信息包括组播无线承载1的配置信息以及组播无线承载2的配置信息,其中,组播无线承载1用于建立组播无线承载1。组播无线承载2用于建立组播无线承载2。这样后续,基站可以在组播无线承载1上向第一终端发送组播/广播业务的语音业务流,在组播无线承载2上向第一终端发送组播/广播业务的视频业务流。
可以理解的是,本申请实施例中基站与第一终端之间可能建立有多个组播无线承载,不同组播无线承载对应的QoS参数不同,这样可以根据QoS参数建立满足QoS参数要求的组播无线承载。
可选的,基站在组播无线承载的配置信息中包括映射到该组播无线承载的一个或多个QoS流的QFI。
进一步的,本申请实施例提供的方法还可以包括:基站根据映射到一个组播无线承载上的所有组播QoS流的QoS参数信息确定该组播无线承载的QoS参数。
其中,QoS参数可以包括:该组播无线承载的5QI、调度优先级、最大带宽、保障带宽中的一项或多项。
进一步的,上述方法还可以包括:基站确定上述组播无线承载对应的逻辑信道标识。
例如,基站为该组播/广播业务的组播无线承载分配逻辑信道标识,基站将组播无 线承载的逻辑信道标识携带在组播无线承载的配置信息发送给第一终端,或者基站将组播无线承载的逻辑信道标识单独发送给第一终端。
在一种可能的实现方式中,本申请实施例中的步骤602可以通过以下方式实现:基站通过与第一终端之间的已经建立的RRC连接向第一终端发送组播无线承载的配置信息。例如,基站通过与第一终端之间的已经建立的RRC连接向第一终端发送第一消息,该第一消息中包括组播无线承载的配置信息。例如,第一消息可以为RRC消息,如RRC重配置消息(RRC Reconfiguration),该RRC消息中包括无线承载的配置信息。已经建立的RRC连接使用的是特定的信令无线承载(signalling radio bearer,SRB),并且,可以对信息进行加密。
在一种可能的实现方式中,组播无线承载的配置信息包括第一指示信息,该第一指示信息用于指示为第一终端配置的组播无线承载的类型为组播类型。这样便于第一终端根据第一指示信息确定播无线承载的类型为组播类型。
可以理解的是,该第一指示信息可以携带在组播无线承载的配置信息中,例如,组播无线承载的配置信息中包括承载类型字段,该承载类型字段设置为组播类型,当然该第一指示信息也可以由基站通过单独的信令发送给第一终端。
在一种可能的实现方式中,组播无线承载的配置信息还包括:组播/广播业务的标识,或组播/广播业务关联的组播会话的标识。这样第一终端便可以根据组播无线承载的配置信息配置好与基站之间的组播无线承载之后,通过组播/广播业务的标识,或组播/广播业务关联的组播会话的标识,确定该组播无线承载与组播/广播业务的标识,或组播/广播业务关联的组播会话的标识关联。换言之,第一终端便可以确定该组播无线承载用于接收组播/广播业务的标识指示的组播/广播业务的数据。
本申请实施例中的组播无线承载是第一终端根据无线承载的配置信息专门为接收组播/广播业务的数据建立的。
在一种可能的实现方式中,该组播无线承载的配置信息包括以下一个或多个:组播无线承载的标识,和组播无线承载映射的第一逻辑信道的标识。其中,第一逻辑信道是该组播无线承载对应的逻辑信道。具体的,经过该组播无线承载发送的数据会携带该第一逻辑信道的标识,这样,接收端(第一终端)可根据数据包中的第一逻辑信道的标识确定该数据包所对应的组播无线承载,从而将该数据包发送给该组播无线承载进行进一步的处理。逻辑信道对应一个标识(identity,ID),逻辑信道的标识(logic channel identity,LCID)可以用于标识逻辑信道,逻辑信道的标识可以为逻辑信道的索引号等。
步骤603、第一终端根据组播无线承载的配置信息,配置组播无线承载。
本申请实施例中的步骤603的具体实现可以参考现有技术中的描述,此处不再赘述。例如,第一终端根据PDCP配置信息配置组播无线承载的PDCP,根据RLC的配置信息配置组播无线承载的RLC。例如,PDCP的配置信息指示该组播无线承载进行加密的指示信息,则第一终端配置该组播无线承载为进行加密的组播无线承载。
本申请实施例提供一种配置无线承载的方法,该方法中基站在接收到请求将第一终端加入组播/广播业务的第一请求消息,便可以根据组播/广播业务的服务质量QoS流信息,为第一终端配置组播无线承载的配置信息。这样便于第一终端建立与基站之 间的用于传输组播/广播业务的组播无线承载。后续存在待向第一终端发送的组播/广播业务的数据时,基站便可以利用该组播无线承载向第一终端发送组播/广播业务的数据。无论向第一终端发送该组播/广播业务的数据时采用点到多点方式(又可以称为:多播传输)还是点到点方式(又可以称为:单播传输),基站可以生成一份相同的数据,并利用该组播无线承载发送数据,因此简化了基站的处理。
在一种可能的实现方式中,本申请实施例中的第一终端配置有第一媒体接入控制(medium access control,MAC)实体。该第一MAC实体可以用于传输(例如接收或发送)组播/广播业务的数据。第一终端的第一MAC实体可以由基站为第一终端配置。具体的,基站为第一终端配置第一MAC实体的过程可以参考图9所示的实施例,本申请实施例在此不再赘述。
示例性的,该第一MAC实体与第一无线网络临时标识(radio network temporary identifier,RNTI)关联,进一步,该第一RNTI与组播/广播业务对应,或第一RNTI与第一终端对应。此处,第一MAC实体与第一RNTI关联是指基站对通过该第一MAC实体进行传输的数据采用第一RNTI进行加扰处理,相应的,终端接收到数据后若数据通过第一MAC实体传输,则采用该第一RNTI对数据进行解扰处理,具体可以参见现有技术。
其中,第一RNTI与组播/广播业务对应可以理解为:第一RNTI为核心网网元或基站为该组播/广播业务分配的RNTI;或者,该第一RNTI和组播/广播业务的标识关联,或者该第一RNTI和组播会话关联。当第一RNTI与组播/广播业务对应时,该第一MAC实体由加入组播/广播业务的多个终端共享,也即基站为该加入该组播/广播业务的多个终端配置的第一MAC实体的配置信息相同。该第一RNTI和组播会话关联也可以理解为:第一RNTI和组播会话的标识之间具有映射关系,或者第一RNTI为组播会话的标识。
第一RNTI与第一终端对应可以理解为:基站为第一终端分配第一RNTI。其中,第一RNTI可以为第一终端的标识,或者第一RNTI与第一终端的标识关联。应理解,基站为不同终端分配不同的第一RNTI。当第一RNTI与第一终端的对应时,该第一RNTI也与该组播/广播业务对应,即,第一RNTI与第一终端的该组播/广播业务对应。此时,可以理解为,第一RNTI是基站为该第一终端的该组播/广播业务分配的RNTI。第一终端可以根据该第一RNTI可确定该组播/广播业务。第一RNTI与第一终端的标识关联可以理解为:第一RNTI与第一终端的标识具有映射关系,两者不同。
示例性的,终端的标识可以为以下一个或者多个:小区无线网络临时标识(Cell-RadioNetworkTemporaryIdentifier,C-RNTI),网际协议地址(internet protocol,IP)、签约永久标识(subscription permanent identifier,SUPI)、永久设备标识(permanent equipment identifier,PEI)、通用公共签约标识(generic public subscription identifier,GPSI)、国际移动用户标识符(international mobile subscriber identifier,IMSI)、国际移动设备标识(international mobile equipment identity,IMEI)、IP五元组(5-tuple)和移动台国际综合业务数字网络号码(mobile station international integrated service digital network number,MSISDN)。下述实施例中但凡涉及到终端的标识均可以参考此处的描述,后续不再赘述。
举例说明,终端a和终端b具有的第一MAC实体关联的第一RNTI为RNTI1,该RNTI1与组播/广播业务对应。终端c具有的第一MAC实体关联的第一RNTI为RNTI2,该RNTI2与终端c对应。那么基站先通过该组播无线承载对该组播/广播业务的数据进行处理,例如,进行头压缩、加密、对数据包进行封装、分片、编码、添加逻辑信道标识等,具体可参见现有技术,然后,基站再将上述处理后的数据通过RNTI1进行加扰,并发送给终端a和终端b,基站10将上述处理后的数据通过RNTI2进行加扰后发送给终端c。这样对于支持点到多点方式的终端a和终端b,在接收到数据后通过RNTI1解扰,后再通过组播无线承载进行反向处理,例如,恢复被压缩的头、解密、解封装、分片重组、解编码等,以便恢复该组播/广播业务的数据广播。对于支持点到点方式的终端c,在接收到数据后通过RNTI2解扰,后再通过无线承载进行反向处理,以便恢复该组播/广播业务的数据。
需要说明的是,RNTI2除了与终端c关联之外,也可以关联该组播/广播业务,即终端c可确定通过RNTI2所接收的数据为上述组播/广播业务的数据。
此外,上述处理可以包括:对数据进行加密、完整性保护、分片、加封装、编码等操作中的一种或多种,相应的,反向处理包括:解密、完整性验证、组装、去封装、解码等操作中的一种或多种。
当第一RNTI与组播/广播业务对应时,基站仅需要发送一份数据,配置了与该第一RNTI关联的第一MAC实体的终端均可接收到该数据,从而可以节省空口带宽。
在一种可能的实现方式中,本申请实施例中的第一终端配置有第二MAC实体,该第二MAC实体用于接收除该组播/广播业务之外的其他一个或多个业务的数据。该第二MAC实体对应的无线承载所关联的逻辑信道的标识可以与上述第一MAC实体对应的无线承载所关联的逻辑信道的标识相同。基站通过为组播/广播业务配置与第二MAC实体不同的MAC实体(例如,第一MAC实体),使得组播/广播业务所使用的逻辑信道的标识具有独立的空间,避免组播/广播业务与其他业务共享MAC实体导致逻辑信道的数量受限。本申请实施例中其他一个或多个业务的数据可以为:除该组播/广播业务之外的其余组播/广播业务的数据,或者单播业务的数据。可以理解的是,对于同一个终端,不同的组播/多播业务的数据对应的MAC实体不同。例如,终端1用于接收组播/多播业务1的数据以及组播/多播业务2的数据,则基站可以为终端1配置第一MAC实体用于接收组播/多播业务1的数据,此外为终端1配置第二MAC实体用于接收组播/多播业务2的数据。例如,终端1用于接收组播/多播业务1的数据以及单播业务的数据,则基站可以为终端1配置第一MAC实体用于接收组播/多播业务1的数据,此外为终端1配置第二MAC实体用于接收单播业务的数据。可以理解的是,第一MAC实体和第二MAC实体不仅可以用于接收数据,也可以用于发送数据。
在一种可能的实现方式中,本申请实施例提供的方法还可以包括:基站接收第二请求消息,该第二请求消息请求将第二终端加入上述组播/广播业务。基站向第二终端发送上述组播无线承载的配置信息。
例如,第二终端可以为图1所示的终端1~终端n中与第一终端不同的终端。
在一种可能的实现方式中,组播无线承载映射的第一逻辑信道的标识与第二逻辑信道的标识相同,第二逻辑信道为第二MAC实体对应的无线承载关联的逻辑信道, 终端可以利用第二MAC实体接收数据。这里,基站通过第二MAC实体向终端发送的数据是除上述组播/广播业务之外的其他业务的数据。第二MAC实体对应的无线承载关联的逻辑信道可以指:第二MAC实体对应的无线承载与第二逻辑信道之间具有映射关系,也即在第二MAC实体对应的无线承载上传输的数据通过第二逻辑信道传输。
本实施例中,为组播/广播业务配置单独的MAC实体(即第一MAC实体)使得该组播/广播业务的逻辑信道可以独立于其他业务的MAC实体,避免组播/广播业务与其他业务共享MAC实体导致逻辑信道的数量受限。
本申请实施例中基站可以对在该组播无线承载上传输的组播/广播业务的数据进行安全保护,也可以对在该组播无线承载上传输的组播/广播业务的数据不进行安全保护。但是是否对在该组播无线承载上传输的组播/广播业务的数据进行安全保护,第一终端接收到经该组播无线承载传输的组播/广播业务的数据的处理不同,下述将分别介绍:
示例1、不执行安全保护
例如,安全保护包括加密保护和/或完整性保护。其中,加密保护可以用于加密终端和基站间传输的组播/广播业务的数据,防止组播/广播业务的数据被破解。完整性保护可以用于保护终端和基站之间传输的数据的完整性,从而可以防止组播/广播业务的数据被篡改。
如图7所示,作为本申请的另一个实施例,该方法包括步骤701、步骤703以及步骤705。其中,步骤701同步骤601,步骤703同步骤602,步骤704同步骤603,图7所示的实施例与图6所示的实施例中的区别在于:图7所示的实施例还包括步骤702以及步骤705。其中,步骤702位于步骤703之前。
其中,步骤702、基站确定对组播/广播业务的数据不执行安全保护。
作为一种可能的实现方式,本申请实施例中的步骤702可以通过以下方式实现:基站接收来自核心网网元的第三指示信息,第三指示信息用于指示对组播/广播业务的数据不执行安全保护。基站根据第三指示信息,确定对组播/广播业务的数据不执行安全保护。如果基站确定对组播/广播业务的数据不执行安全保护,则基站可以将组播无线承载配置为不执行安全保护。
示例性的,核心网网元可以在创建该组播/广播业务的组播会话时,向基站发送第三指示信息。本申请实施例中的组播会话也可以称为组播广播会话,该组播会话可以用于传输组播/广播业务。
作为另一种可能的实现方式,本申请实施例中的步骤702可以通过以下方式实现:基站自主确定对组播/广播业务的数据不执行安全保护。或者,基站根据第三指示信息确定对组播/广播业务的数据不执行安全保护。例如,基站确定组播/广播业务的数据的安全要求低于或等于预设安全要求,则基站确定对组播/广播业务的数据不执行安全保护。
基于步骤702,在一种可能的实现方式中,本申请实施例中基站在步骤703中向第一终端发送的组播无线承载的配置信息中包括第二指示信息,该第二指示信息用于指示在组播无线承载上传输的组播/广播业务的数据不执行安全保护。
本申请实施例中第二指示信息可以携带在组播无线承载的配置信息中(例如,第 二指示信息为组播无线承载的配置信息中的一个字段)。当然该第二指示信息也可以和组播无线承载携带在同一个消息中,再者,该第二指示信息也可以和组播无线承载携带在不同消息中,本申请实施例对此不做限定。
此外,本申请实施例中基站可以采用显式方式向第一终端指示在组播无线承载上传输的组播/广播业务的数据不执行安全保护。例如,基站向第一终端发送第二指示信息。当然,基站也可以采用隐式方式向第一终端指示在组播无线承载上传输的组播/广播业务的数据不执行安全保护。例如,该组播无线承载的配置信息中未包括安全保护指示,则第一终端可以确定在组播无线承载上传输的组播/广播业务的数据未执行安全保护。或者基站向第一终端未发送组播/广播业务对应的安全参数,这样第一终端也可以确定在组播无线承载上传输的组播/广播业务的数据不执行安全保护。
步骤705、第一终端确定在组播无线承载上传输的组播/广播业务的数据未执行安全保护。
一种示例a,本申请实施例中的步骤705可以通过以下方式实现:第一终端根据第二指示信息确定在组播无线承载上传输的组播/广播业务的数据未执行安全保护。
另一种示例b,本申请实施例中的步骤705可以通过以下方式实现:第一终端未接收到该组播/广播业务对应的安全参数,则第一终端确定在组播无线承载上传输的组播/广播业务的数据未执行安全保护。
再一种示例c,本申请实施例中的步骤705可以通过以下方式实现:第一终端和基站协商或者协议预定义在组播无线承载上传输的组播/广播业务的数据不执行安全保护,则第一终端也可以确定在该组播无线承载上传输的组播/广播业务的数据未执行安全保护。
如果第一终端通过该示例b或示例c确定在组播无线承载上传输的组播/广播业务的数据未执行安全保护,则基站可以不向第一终端发送第二指示信息。
需要说明的是,本申请实施例中的步骤705和步骤704不分执行先后。可以理解的是,如果第二指示信息携带在组播无线承载的配置信息中,或者第二指示信息与组播无线承载的配置信息携带在同一个消息中,则第一终端建立组播无线承载之后便可以确定在组播无线承载上传输的组播/广播业务的数据未执行安全保护。如果第一终端在完成组播无线承载的建立之后,接收到第二指示信息,则步骤705位于步骤704之后。
需要说明的是,本申请实施例中如果基站向第一终端发送组播无线承载的配置信息之后,确定对组播/广播业务的数据不执行安全保护,则步骤702还可以位于步骤703之后。
在图7所示的实施例中,本申请实施例提供的方法还可以在第一终端和基站之间具有组播无线承载的情况下,包括:
步骤706、基站在组播无线承载上向第一终端发送组播/广播业务的数据。相应的,第一终端在组播无线承载上接收组播/广播业务的数据。
具体的,基站在接收到的针对组播/广播业务的数据的情况下,在该组播无线承载上发送组播/广播业务的数据,这样接入该组播/广播业务的一个或多个终端(包括第一终端)便可以接到的组播/广播业务的数据。
示例2、执行安全保护
如图8所示,作为本申请的另一个实施例,该方法包括步骤801、步骤803以及步骤805。其中,步骤801同步骤601,步骤803同步骤602,步骤804同步骤603,图7所示的实施例与图6所示的实施例中的区别在于:还可以包括步骤802和步骤805。其中,步骤802位于步骤803之前。
其中,步骤802、基站确定对组播/广播业务的数据执行安全保护。
作为一种可能的实现方式,本申请实施例中的步骤802可以通过以下方式实现:基站接收来自核心网网元(例如,SMF网元,M-SMF网元)的第五指示信息,第五指示信息用于指示对组播/广播业务的数据执行安全保护。基站根据第五指示信息,确定对组播/广播业务的数据执行安全保护。示例性的,核心网网元可以在创建组播会话时,向基站发送第五指示信息。
作为另一种可能的实现方式,本申请实施例中的步骤802可以通过以下方式实现:一种实现:基站自主确定对组播/广播业务的数据执行安全保护。例如,基站确定组播/广播业务的数据的安全要求高于或等于预设安全要求,则基站确定对组播/广播业务的数据执行安全保护。或者,另一种实现:基站根据第五指示信息确定对组播/广播业务的数据执行安全保护。
基于步骤802,本申请实施例中的步骤803中基站向第一终端发送的组播无线承载的配置信息中还包括第四指示信息,第四指示信息用于指示在组播无线承载上传输的组播/广播业务的数据已执行安全保护或需要执行安全保护。可以理解的是,该第四指示信息可以携带在组播无线承载的配置信息中,当然该第四指示信息也可以通过单独的信令发送给第一终端,或者第四指示信息也可以和组播无线承载的配置信息携带在同一个消息中,本申请实施例对此不作限定。
需要说明的是,本申请实施例中基站可以采用显式方式向第一终端指示在组播无线承载上传输的组播/广播业务的数据执行安全保护。例如,基站向第一终端发送第四指示信息。当然,基站也可以采用隐式方式向第一终端指示在组播无线承载上传输的组播/广播业务的数据执行安全保护。例如,基站向第一终端发送组播/广播业务对应的安全参数,这样第一终端也可以确定用于发送所述组播/广播业务的组播无线承载上的数据执行安全保护。
需要说明的是,第四指示信息可以为加密保护指示和/或完整性保护指示中的一个或多个。其中,加密保护指示用于指示在组播无线承载上传输的组播/广播业务的数据进行加密处理。完整性保护指示用于指示在组播无线承载上传输的组播/广播业务的数据进行完整性保护。
步骤805、第一终端确定在组播无线承载上传输的组播/广播业务的数据已执行安全保护。
一种示例d,本申请实施例中的步骤805可以通过以下方式实现:第一终端根据第四指示信息确定在组播无线承载上传输的组播/广播业务的数据已执行安全保护。
另一种示例e,本申请实施例中的步骤805可以通过以下方式实现:第一终端接收到该组播/广播业务对应的安全参数,则第一终端确定在组播无线承载上传输的组播/广播业务的数据已执行安全保护。
再一种示例f,本申请实施例中的步骤805可以通过以下方式实现:第一终端和基站协商或者协议预定义基站对组播/广播业务的数据执行安全保护,则第一终端也可以确定在组播无线承载上传输的组播/广播业务的数据已执行安全保护。
如果第一终端通过该示例e或示例f确定在组播无线承载上传输的组播/广播业务的数据已执行安全保护,则基站可以省略向第一终端发送第四指示信息的步骤。
需要说明的是,本申请实施例中的步骤805和步骤804不分执行先后。可以理解的是,如果第四指示信息携带在组播无线承载的配置信息中,或者第四指示信息与组播无线承载的配置信息携带在同一个消息中,则第一终端建立组播无线承载之后便可以确定在组播无线承载上传输的组播/广播业务的数据已执行安全保护。如果第一终端在配置好组播无线承载后才接收到第四指示信息,则步骤805晚于步骤804执行。
本申请实施例中对在组播无线承载上传输的组播/广播业务的数据执行安全保护的动作可以由UPF网元执行也可以由基站执行,本申请实施例对此不作限定。
在一种可能的实施例中,如图8所示,本申请实施例提供的方法还包括:
步骤806、基站确定组播/广播业务对应的安全参数,该安全参数包括安全密钥和/或安全保护所使用的安全算法,所述安全参数用于对所述组播/广播业务的数据进行安全保护。
例如,安全参数可以包括对组播/广播业务的数据进行加密的安全密钥和/或确定安全密钥的加密算法。安全参数还可以包括对组播/广播业务的数据进行完整性保护的完整性密钥和/或完整性算法。完整性可以用于保护第一终端和基站之间传输的数据的完整性。
一种示例,步骤806可以通过以下方式实现:基站接收来自核心网网元的组播/广播业务对应的安全参数。这样基站便可以确定组播/广播业务对应的安全参数。另一种示例,基站处配置有一个或多个安全参数。基站从一个或多个安全参数中确定组播/广播业务对应的安全参数。例如,基站可以从一个或多个安全参数中任选一个作为组播/广播业务对应的安全参数。或者基站可以从一个或多个安全参数中选择与组播/广播业务关联的安全参数,作为组播/广播业务对应的安全参数,本申请实施例对此不做限定。
若基站接收来自核心网网元的安全参数,则可选的,第一终端也可以直接从核心网网元接收相同的安全参数,当然,安全参数也可以由基站从核心网网元接收到后再发送给第一终端,本申请实施例对此不限定。
步骤807、基站向第一终端发送组播/广播业务对应的安全参数。相应的,第一终端接收组播/广播业务对应的安全参数。
步骤808、基站根据安全参数,获得安全保护后的组播/广播业务的数据。
具体的,本申请实施例中的步骤808可以通过以下方式实现:基站根据安全参数,对组播/广播业的数据进行安全保护,得到安全保护后的组播/广播业务的数据。具体地,基站根据安全参数,对组播/广播业的数据进行安全保护的过程可参见现有技术的描述,本实施例不再赘述。
例如,基站根据完整性密钥对组播/广播业务的数据进行完整性保护。基站根据加密密钥对组播/广播业务的数据进行加密。
步骤809、基站在组播无线承载上向第一终端发送安全保护后的组播/广播业务的数据。相应的,第一终端在组播无线承载上接收来自基站的安全保护后的组播/广播业务的数据。
步骤810、第一终端根据安全参数和安全保护后的组播/广播业务的数据,获得组播/广播业务的数据。
可以理解的是,第一终端处具有组播/广播业务对应的安全参数。该组播/广播业务对应的安全参数可以由基站或核心网网元或应用层设备(如该组播/广播业务对应的应用服务器)发送给第一终端。如果组播/广播业务对应的安全参数可以由基站配置给第一终端,则本申请实施例提供的方法在步骤809之前还可以包括:基站向第一终端发送安全参数。相应的,第一终端接收来自基站的安全参数,该安全参数用于第一终端获取在组播无线承载上传输的组播/广播业务的数据。
例如,第一终端可以根据加密密钥对来自基站的已加密的组播/广播业务的数据进行解密。第一终端可以根据完整性密钥验证解密后的组播/广播业务的数据的完整性。
如图9所示,图9示出了本申请实施例提供的一种配置无线资源的方法,该方法包括:
步骤901、基站接收第一请求消息,该第一请求消息用于请求将第一终端加入组播/广播业务。
此处关于第一请求消息的描述,可以参考步骤601处的描述,此处不再赘述。
步骤902、基站根据组播/广播业务的服务质量QoS流信息,向第一终端发送第一MAC实体的配置信息。相应的,第一终端接收来自基站的第一MAC实体的配置信息。该第一MAC实体的配置信息用于为第一终端配置组播/广播业务对应的MAC实体。其中,第一MAC实体用于接收组播/广播业务的数据。该第一MAC实体由已加入该组播/广播业务的多个终端共享,已加入该组播/广播业务的多个终端包括第一终端。组播/广播业务对应的MAC实体是指:终端通过该第一MAC实体接收该组播/广播业务的数据。
例如,对于同一个通信群组中的多个终端,基站可以通过步骤902为该通信群组中的每个终端配置组播/广播业务对应的第一MAC实体,以便于通信群组中的每个终端可以利用各自的第一MAC实体接收来自基站的组播/广播业务的数据。
步骤903、第一终端根据第一MAC实体的配置信息,配置第一终端的第一MAC实体。
在一种可能的实现方式中,第一MAC实体的配置信息包括第六指示信息,该第六指示信息用于指示第一MAC实体用于传输组播/广播业务的数据。这样第一终端便可以根据第六指示信息确定第一MAC实体用于传输组播/广播业务的数据。
在一种可能的实现方式中,本申请实施例提供的方法还可以包括:基站为该第一终端配置第二MAC实体。该第二MAC实体用于向终端发送除该组播/广播业务的数据以外的数据。可以理解的是,本申请实施例中,基站通过为该组播/广播业务配置单独的MAC实体(即第一MAC实体)使得该组播/广播业务的逻辑信道可以独立于其他业务的逻辑信道,其中,其他业务的MAC实体与第一MAC实体不同,这样可以避免组播/广播业务与其他业务共享MAC实体导致逻辑信道的数量受限。
在一种可能的实现方式中,本申请实施例中的第一MAC实体的配置信息还包括第一RNTI,第一RNTI与组播/广播业务对应或第一RNTI与第一终端对应。
其中,第一RNTI与组播/广播业务对应可以理解为:第一RNTI为:为该组播/广播业务或第一RNTI为:为该组播/广播业务的组播会话分配的临时标识,例如,可以是组播无线网络临时标识(Group-Radio Network Temporary Identifier,G-RNTI)。
作为一种示例,第一RNTI与组播/广播业务对应时,该第一MAC实体由加入该组播/广播业务的一个或多个终端共享。
作为一种具体实现:基站为每个组播会话(组播/广播业务)分配一个G-RNTI,使得每个组播会话可独立进行调度,这样可以避免由于无线承载数量的限制导致一个基站所支持的组播/广播业务数量的限制,并且也可以避免限制组播/广播业务能支持的QoS的级别。
应理解,对于采用点到多点((Point to Multipoint,PTM)方式接收该组播/广播业务数据的第一终端,该第一RNTI与组播/广播业务对应。
其中,第一RNTI与第一终端对应可以理解为:基站为该第一终端分配RNTI。应理解,对于采用点到点方式接收该组播/广播业务数据的第一终端,第一RNTI与该第一终端对应。
应理解,第一RNTI与第一终端对应时,第一RNTI还可以进一步地与该组播/广播业务关联,即,第一RNTI与第一终端的组播/广播业务关联。这样,第一终端也可以根据第一RNTI确定与该第一RNTI关联的第一MAC实体用于传输的该组播/广播业务。示例性的,基站可以为该第一终端的该组播/广播业务分配第一RNTI,这样,根据该第一RNTI可唯一确定一个组播/广播业务。例如,该第一RNTI不同于该终端用于接收单播业务的RNTI,也不同于该终端用于接收其他组播/广播业务的RNTI。
在一种可能的实现方式中,组播/广播业务通过点到多点(PTM)方式发送时,第一RNTI与组播/广播业务对应。或者,组播/广播业务通过点到点方式发送时,第一RNTI与第一终端对应。例如,以一个或多个终端为终端1、终端2、终端3以及终端4为例,如果终端1、终端2以PTM方式接收组播/广播业务的数据,则基站为终端1和终端2分别发送的第一MAC实体的配置信息中包括与组播/广播业务对应的第一RNTI。如果终端3以点到点方式接收组播/广播业务的数据,则基站为终端3发送的第一MAC实体的配置信息中包括与终端3对应的第一RNTI。如果终端4以点到点方式接收组播/广播业务的数据,则基站为终端4发送的第一MAC实体的配置信息中包括与终端4对应的第一RNTI。
可以理解的是,为了为第一终端配置正确接收组播/广播业务的数据的RNTI,本申请实施例提供的方法在步骤902之前还可以包括:基站确定第一终端支持的接收模式。例如,接收模式为点到点方式或点到多点方式。
可以理解的是,基站根据第一终端的信号质量、接收该组播/广播业务的终端的数量等信息确定采用PTM或PTP模式发送组播/广播业务的数据,具体可参见现有技术的描述,本实施例不再赘述。
在一种可能的实现方式中,如图9所示,本申请实施例提供的方法还可以包括:基站接收第二请求消息,该第二请求消息请求将第二终端加入组播/广播业务。基站向 第二终端发送第三MAC实体的配置信息包括所述组播无线承载的标识,所述第三MAC实体与第二RNTI关联,所述第二RNTI与所述组播/广播业务对应或与所述第二终端对应。
需要说明的是,1、在第一终端具有第一MAC实体的情况下,本申请实施例中的图6或图7或图8所示的实施例可以单独作为一个实施例,其主要目的是基站为第一终端配置组播无线承载,以及向第一终端指示组播/广播无线承载的数据是否执行安全保护。
2、在第一终端还需要被配置第一MAC实体的情况下,图6或图7或图8所示的实施例可以和图9所示的实施例组合形成一个新的实施例。也即在图6或图7或图8所示的实施例中基站还可以执行步骤901~步骤903。
3、在第一终端具有组播无线承载的情况下,图9所示的实施例可以作为一个单独的实施例,其主要目的是基站为第一终端配置第一MAC实体。
4、在第一终端还需要被配置组播无线承载的情况下,图9所示的实施例可以和图6或图7或图8所示的实施例结合形成一个新的实施例,换言之在步骤903之后基站还可以执行图6或图7或图8所示的实施例中由基站执行的步骤,第一终端也可以执行图6或图7或图8所示的实施例中由第一基站执行的步骤。
5、在基站确定既要为第一终端配置组播无线承载,又要为第一终端配置第一MAC实体的情况下,基站可以将组播无线承载的配置信息和第一MAC实体的配置信息携带在同一个消息中发送给第一终端。
需要说明的是,本申请实施例中如果上述第一终端由应用于第一终端中的芯片替换,则第一终端中的芯片的标识即为第一终端的标识。已加入所述组播/广播业务的终端包括第一终端中的芯片即为已加入所述组播/广播业务的终端包括第一终端。
如图10所示,图10示出了本申请实施例中一种配置无线承载的方法的具体实施例,该方法包括:
步骤1001、终端1(例如TV)向SMF网元发送请求消息1,相应的,SMF网元接收来自终端1的该请求消息1。该请求消息1请求将终端1加入(Join)组播/广播业务。其中,请求消息1中可以携带组播/广播业务对应的组播地址。可选的,该请求消息1中还可以携带组播/广播业务对应的源地址。可选的,在终端1具有组播/广播业务的标识的情况下,该请求消息1中携带组播/广播业务的标识以及终端1的标识。在请求消息1中携带终端1的标识便于SMF网元识别要加入组播/广播业务的终端。其中,组播/广播业务对应的组播地址和/或源地址用以标识所对应的组播/广播业务。
一种示例,该请求消息1可以为IGMP消息,则步骤1001可以通过以下方式实现:终端1向UPF网元发送IGMP消息,该IGMP消息请求将终端1加入组播/广播业务。来自终端1的请求消息1经过UPF网元发送给SMF网元。例如,终端1通过与UPF网元之间具有的PDU会话的用户面向UPF网元发送请求消息1。
另一种示例,请求消息1可以为PDU会话修改请求消息。或者请求消息1中可以携带在NAS消息中。
终端1利用非接入层(Non-access stratum,NAS)消息携带请求消息1时,若终端1已经获得了组播/广播业务对应的组播业务的标识,则终端1在请求消息1中可将 组播/广播业务的标识发送给网络(SMF网元),或者,终端1发送组播/广播业务对应的组播地址和可选的源地址用以标识该组播/广播业务。示例性的,TV通过RG向SMF网元发送请求消息1,该请求消息1用于请求DN中DNN1对应网元的组播业务,请求消息1携带DNN1,SMF网元向UDM网元发送获取消息,获取消息携带DNN1,那么,UDM网元可根据预配置信息确定DNN1对应的网元提供组播业务。
步骤1002、SMF网元获取组播/广播业务所对应的策略与计费控制(policy and charging control,PCC)规则。
示例性的,组播业务所对应的PCC规则包括如下内容中的至少一项:一个或多个组播业务流的描述信息、每个组播业务流的QoS信息,其中组播业务流的QoS信息包括组播业务流的最大带宽需求、组播业务流的ARP、组播业务流的5QI中的至少一项。
一种示例,本申请实施例中的步骤1002可以通过以下方式实现:SMF网元向PCF网元发送消息2,相应的,PCF网元接收来自SMF网元的消息2。该消息2用于请求组播/广播业务所对应的PCC规则。该消息2中携带组播/广播业务的标识,或者组播/广播业务的组播地址或源地址。PCF网元根据消息2中携带的组播/广播业务的标识,或者组播/广播业务的组播地址或源地址获取该组播/广播业务所对应的PCC规则,之后PCF网元向SMF网元发送组播/广播业务所对应的PCC规则。可以理解的是,该PCF网元中具有组播/广播业务所对应的PCC规则。若终端1发送的请求加入组播/广播业务的请求消息中携带了组播/广播业务的标识,则SMF网元将组播/广播业务的标识发送给PCF网元,以便PCF网元根据组播/广播业务的标识获取组播/广播业务所对应的PCC规则。若终端1请求加入组播/广播业务的请求消息中携带了组播地址和可选的源地址,则SMF网元将该组播地址和可选的源地址发送给PCF网元,以便PCF网元根据该组播地址和可选的源地址获取组播/广播业务所对应的PCC规则。
另一种示例,本申请实施例中的步骤1002可以通过以下方式实现:SMF网元上具有该组播/广播业务所对应的PCC规则,在SMF网元确定将终端1加入组播/广播业务时,便可以从SMF网元上获取组播/广播业务所对应的PCC规则。在这种情况下,SMF网元可以省略向PCF网元发送消息2的过程。
需要说明的是,SMF网元中具有的组播/广播业务所对应的PCC规则可以由PCF网元提前配置给SMF网元。例如,PCF网元在生成组播/广播业务所对应的PCC规则时,便可以主动配置给SMF网元该组播/广播业务所对应的PCC规则。
步骤1003、SMF网元获取组播/广播业务所对应的组播会话的信息。
组播会话的信息包括:组播会话的标识、组播会话的各组播QoS流的信息和组播QoS流的描述信息。其中,组播QoS流的信息参见前述。QoS流的描述信息可以是该QoS流的目标地址(即组播地址)、源地址、目标和源端口号、该数据包的协议类型中的至少一项,Qo务流的描述信息也可以是应用标识,或者,QoS流的描述信息也可以是策略控制规则的标识(即该标识对应PCC规则中的所有业务流的描述信息)或策略控制规则中的包过滤器的标识(包过滤器的标识和可选的PCC规则的标识),本申请实施例对此不做限定。
可以理解的是,SMF网元向基站发送QFI和QOS参数。
在本实施例中假设该终端1所接入的基站已经为该组播/广播业务创建了组播会话, SMF网元从创建该组播会话的SMF网元或MCF网元处获取上述组播会话的信息。例如,创建组播会话的SMF网元可将组播会话的标识、基站的标识、组播/广播业务的标识、SMF网元的标识保存到存储单元(如UDM),SMF网元可从存储单元(如UDM)获取创建该组播会话的SMF网元的标识,并向创建该组播会话的SMF网元获取组播会话的信息。或者,SMF网元可根据基站的标识获取创建该组播会话的MCF网元,并从MCF网元处获取该组播会话的信息。或者,PCF网元保存了组播会话的信息,因此在SMF网元从PCF网元处获取组播/广播业务所对应的PCC规则时,PCF网元也可以向SMF网元提供组播会话的信息。
步骤1004、SMF网元向基站发送请求消息3。相应的,基站接收来自SMF网元的请求消息3。该请求消息3用于请求基站将终端1加入组播/广播业务(或者,加入该组播/广播业务对应的组播会话)。
示例性的,该请求消息3中携带终端的标识和组播/广播业务的标识。或者请求消息3中携带终端的标识和组播/广播业务的组播地址、源地址。或者请求消息3携带该组播/广播业务对应的组播会话的标识。
可选的,该请求消息3中还可以携带终端1的协议数据单元(protocol data unit,PDU)会话的标识,以便基站将该组播/广播业务的组播会话与终端1的PDU会话关联。
可选的,该请求消息3中还包括SMF网元向终端1发送的NAS消息,该NAS消息中包括该组播/广播业务的标识、组播/广播业务对应的组播地址和可选的源地址,以便终端1将组播无线承载与组播/广播业务进行关联。可选的,该NAS消息还用于指示终端成功加入该组播/广播业务。可以理解的是,组播/广播业务的标识可以由SMF网元或者UPF网元为组播/广播业务分配。之后SMF网元将组播/广播业务的标识提供给基站和终端1。
示例性的,本申请实施例中的步骤1004可以通过以下方式实现:SMF网元向为终端1提供服务的AMF网元发送请求消息3。然后由AMF网元基站发送请求消息3。具体的,AMF网元在该终端1对应的N2信令连接上发送该请求消息3,这样便于基站可根据N2信令连接确定终端1。具体的,终端1对应的N2信令连接包括该基站为该终端1分配的N2信令连接的标识和AMF网元为该终端1分配的N2信令连接的标识,基站根据上述标识确定该N2信令连接对应的终端1。
步骤1005、基站将终端1加入组播/广播业务。
本实施例假设基站已经为该组播/广播业务创建了组播会话,在创建组播会话时,基站从创建该组播会话的核心网元(如SMF网元或MCF网元)处获取了组播会话的QoS流信息,包括组播会话QoS流的QFI、该QFI对应的QoS参数。在创建组播会话时,基站根据组播会话对应的组播/广播业务的QoS流的QoS信息确定需要为该组播/广播业务创建的组播无线承载。例如,基站将不同的QoS流映射到不同的组播无线承载或者相同的组播无线承载。
步骤1006、当终端1加入组播/广播业务时,基站可根据在组播会话创建时确定的组播无线承载生成组播无线承载的配置信息。
其中,组播无线承载的配置信息用于配置终端1接收组播/广播业务的组播无线承 载(radio bearer)。
步骤1007、基站向终端1发送组播无线承载的配置信息。相应的,终端1接收来自基站的组播无线承载的配置信息。
一种示例,该组播无线承载的配置信息中包括组播指示信息(对应上述实施例中的第一指示信息)。
在该方法中,基站向终端1发送的组播无线承载配置信息中包括组播指示信息,用于指示该组播无线承载用于接收组播/广播业务的数据。
需要说明的是,已定义了终端和基站之间具有信令无线承载(SRB)和数据无线承载(DRB),可以在这两种无线承载的基础上增加组播无线承载,与这两种无线承载并列。
一方面,当组播无线承载用于接收组播/广播业务时,组播无线承载的配置信息指示该组播无线承载不需要执行安全保护。组播无线承载不需要执行安全保护可以理解为:组播无线承载对应的PDCP不需要执行安全保护。具体的,可以采用以下方法任一个方法指示该组播无线承载对应的PDCP不需要加密和完整性保护:
方法一:用于组播/广播业务的无线承载默认不加密
通常无线承载的配置信息中包括业务数据适配层(Service DataAdaptation Protocol,SDAP)配置信息,在现有技术中,无线承载配置信息中的SDAP配置信息用于将无线承载与PDU会话关联。具体的,在SDAP配置信息中包括该无线承载所对应的PDU会话标识。在现有技术中,一个PDU会话的所有无线承载要不全部支持加密,要不全部不支持加密,属于同一PDU会话的无线承载不能部分支持加密,部分不支持。
本申请实施例中为了支持用于发送组播/广播业务的组播无线承载不加密,当组播无线承载配置信息用于配置组播/广播业务的组播无线承载时,该组播无线承载的配置信息中的SDAP配置信息中不包括PDU会话标识,即当该组播无线承载不与PDU会话关联时,默认该组播无线承载不进行加密和不进行完整性保护。或者,该配置信息指示该配置信息配置的组播无线承载的类型为组播类型,此时,也可以默认为该组播无线承载不执行加密和完整性保护。可以理解的是,该组播无线承载不进行加密和不进行完整性保护可以替换为:在该组播无线承载上传输的组播/广播业务的数据不进行加密保护和完整性保护。
可选的,该组播无线承载的配置信息还用于指示将该组播无线承载与组播/广播业务进行关联。例如,在组播无线承载的配置信息中SDAP配置信息中包括组播/广播业务的标识。这样,当终端1从该组播无线承载上接收到数据后可将数据与相应的组播/广播业务关联。
方法二:在组播无线承载的配置信息中包括第二指示信息,该第二指示信息用于指示该组播无线承载不进行加密和完整性保护。在该方法中,基站向终端1发送的组播无线承载配置信息中包括组播指示信息,用于指示该组播无线承载用于接收组播/广播业务的数据,即组播指示信息(对应上述第一指示信息)用于指示配置信息配置的组播无线承载的类型为组播类型。
在方法二中组播无线承载的SDAP配置信息中可包括PDU会话标识,以便将组播无线承载与PDU会话关联。
可选的,该方法二中组播无线承载的配置信息可用于指示将该组播无线承载与组播/广播业务进行关联。例如,在组播无线承载的配置信息中的SDAP配置信息中包括用于指示该组播无线承载与组播/广播业务进行关联的指示信息。例如,SDAP配置信息中携带组播/广播业务的标识。
另一方面,当组播无线承载用于发送或接收组播/广播业务时,组播无线承载的配置信息指示该组播无线承载需要执行安全保护。组播无线承载需要执行安全保护可以理解为:组播无线承载对应的PDCP需要执行安全保护。具体的,可以采用以下方法任一个方法指示该组播无线承载对应的PDCP需要加密和完整性保护:
在组播无线承载的配置信息包括第四指示信息,第四指示信息用于指示该组播无线承载需要执行安全保护。或者,当终端1收到针对该组播/广播业务对应的安全参数时,终端1确定用于发送该组播/广播业务的组播无线承载执行了安全保护,此时,组播无线承载的配置信息中包括该组播/广播业务的标识,以便终端1可以根据组播无线承载的配置信息获知该组播无线承载用于发送该组播/广播业务的数据,或者,上述安全参数包括在该组播无线承载的配置信息中。
此外,基站还可以在组播无线承载的配置信息中包括映射到该组播无线承载的组播QoS业务的QFI。终端1可根据该组播QoS业务的QFI对在该组播无线承载上接收到的数据进行QFI的校验。
例如,映射到该组播无线承载的组播QoS业务的QFI可以携带在组播无线承载的配置信息中的SDAP配置信息中。
基站采用终端1与基站建立的RRC连接发送上述组播无线承载的配置信息,例如,组播无线承载的配置信息携带在基站向终端1发送的RRC消息中,该RRC消息包括组播无线承载的配置信息。
若SMF网元向基站发送了NAS消息,基站将NAS消息发送给终端1。若在步骤1001中终端1发送的请求消息1为IGMP消息,则根据该NAS消息和组播无线承载的配置信息,终端1可将组播/广播业务与相应的组播无线承载进行关联。
步骤1008、基站向SMF网元发送响应消息。相应的,SMF网元接收来自基站的响应消息。
示例性的,步骤1008可以通过以下方式实现:基站将该响应消息通过为终端1服务的AMF网元发送给SMF网元。其中,在响应消息中还可以携带用于指示基站是否成功将终端1加入组播/广播业务的指示信息。如果基站未成功将终端1加入组播/广播业务,则基站还可以向SMF网元发送未成功将终端1加入组播/广播业务的原因值。
如图11所示,图11示出了本申请实施例提供的另一种组播配置无线承载的方法的具体实施例,该方法与图10所示的方法的区别在于,在图11所示的实施例中需要对组播/广播业务的数据执行安全保护,该方法包括:
步骤1101~步骤1103,同步骤1001~步骤1003,此处不再赘述。
区别在于,在步骤1003中SMF网元还从创建该组播会话的核心网网元处或从应用网元(可通过其他网元获取,如通过PCF网元/NEF网元从应用网元处获取)处获取了组播会话的安全参数,包括组播会话所使用的安全算法、组播会话所使用的安全 秘钥等。
具体的,SMF网元可以将组播会话的安全参数作为该组播/广播业务的参数。
步骤1104、SMF网元向基站发送请求消息3,相应的,基站接收来自SMF网元的请求消息3。该请求消息3用于请求将终端1加入组播/广播业务。为了支持加密,在本申请实施例的步骤1104中还可以携带该组播/广播业务的安全密钥,可选的,请求消息3中还可以包括对该组播/广播业务执行加密和/或完整性保护所使用的安全算法。例如,安全算法包括加密算法和/或完整性保护算法。
可选的,SMF网元在请求消息3中可指示基站对该组播/多播业务进行加密和/或完整性保护。例如,请求消息3中包括加密保护指示和/或完整性保护指示。其中,加密保护指示用于指示对该组播/广播业务的数据进行加密。完整性保护指示用于指示对该组播/多播业务的数据进行完整性保护。
或者可选的,在请求消息3中不包括上述指示基站对该组播/多播业务进行加密和/或完整性保护,由为该组播/广播业务创建组播会话的核心网网元将安全密钥和/或对该组播/广播业务执行加密和/或完整性保护所使用的安全算法发送给基站。可选的,该核心网网元可指示基站对该组播/多播业务进行加密和/或完整性保护,这样基站也可以确定对该组播/广播业务的数据进行加密和/或对该组播/多播业务的数据进行完整性保护。
步骤1105~步骤1108,同步骤1005~步骤1008,此处不再赘述。
如果创建组播会话的网元指示该组播会话需要执行安全保护,则核心网网元还将该组播/广播业务对应的安全参数发送给基站,以便基站将组播/广播业务对应的组播无线承载配置为进行安全保护。此外,核心网网元还需要为基站配置该组播无线承载对应的加密和/或完整性保护所使用的安全算法。
当组播/广播业务需要执行安全保护时,基站可以通过以下方式向终端1指示在组播无线承载上传输的数据需要执行安全保护。
方法三、组播无线承载的配置信息中包括第四指示信息,该第四指示信息用于指示组播无线承载需要执行安全保护。这样便于终端1接收到组播无线承载的配置信息之后,确定后续在该组播无线承载上传输的数据已执行安全保护。
若组播无线承载需要执行完整性保护,则组播无线承载的配置信息中包括完整性指示,用于指示对该组播无线承载已进行完整性保护。若组播无线承载需要执行加密,则组播无线承载的配置信息中包括加密保护指示。该加密保护指示用于指示该组播无线承载已加密。若组播无线承载需要执行加密和完整性保护,则组播无线承载的配置信息中包括加密保护指示和完整性保护指示。同时,若组播无线承载需要执行需要加密和/或完整性保护,则该组播无线承载的配置信息中还可包括加密和/或完整性保护对应的安全算法。可以在组播会话的一个组播无线承载的配置信息包括安全算法(组播会话共享安全算法),或者,也可以在组播会话对应的全部无线承载的配置信息都包括安全算法(组播会话可以不共享安全算法或共享安全算法),或者,安全参数可包括在组播无线承载的配置信息之外,并被所有该组播会话(即该组播/广播业务)的所有组播无线承载共享。本申请实施例中组播无线承载需要执行加密可以理解为:在组播无线承载上传输的数据需要执行加密保护。
除此之外,基站将SMF网元发送给终端1的NAS消息发送给终端1,可选的,该NAS消息中可包括组播会话的加密密钥和/或完整性保护所使用的安全参数。若NAS消息中携带组播会话的加密密钥和/或完整性保护所使用的安全参数,则终端1根据NAS消息中的加密密钥和/或完整性保护所使用的完整性密钥、组播无线承载的配置信息中的安全算法、组播无线承载的配置信息中的加密保护指示、完整性保护指示确定是否需要对组播/多业务的数据进行解密以及如何进行解密,是否进行完整性验证、以及如何进行完整性验证。终端1还根据组播无线承载的配置信息中的组播/广播业务标识和NAS消息中的组播会话的标识确定组播/广播业务对应的加密密钥和/或完整性保护所使用的完整性密钥。
可以理解的是,该组播/广播业务的数据进行加密和完整性保护所使用的安全参数与对PDU会话的其他数据流所使用的加密和完整性保护使用的安全参数不同。
方法四、基站向终端1发送组播/广播无线承载对应的安全参数。这样终端1接收到组播/广播无线承载对应的安全参数便可以确定后续用于发送该组播/广播业务的组播无线承载上的数据已执行安全保护。此时,组播无线承载的配置信息中包括该组播无线承载所对应的组播/广播业务的标识,以便终端1将该组播/广播业务的安全参数与该组播无线承载进行关联。
在方法三或方法四中组播无线承载的SDAP配置信息中还可包括PDU会话标识,以便将组播无线承载与PDU会话关联,但即使该组播无线承载与PDU会话关联,也可以与该PDU会话的其他非组播无线承载使用不同的加密策略和完整性保护策略。
