用户可以通过在手机、平板电脑等终端上安装的视频客户端(例如腾讯视频、优酷视频)实时观看直播、电视剧、电影或综艺节目等视频。例如,用户可以根据自身对视频的画质需求,在视频客户端设置流媒体参数(如流媒体数据的码率或分辨率)。以流媒体参数为流媒体数据的分辨率为例。终端是根据与用户在视频客户端设置的流媒体数据的分辨率对应的码率,向视频服务器发送流媒体数据获取请求的。视频服务器在接收到终端发送的流媒体数据获取请求后,向终端返回流媒体数据,其中,视频服务器向终端返回的流媒体数据的码率与用户在视频客户端设置的流媒体数据的分辨率对应的码率相同。例如,用户在视频客户端设置的流媒体数据的分辨率为1080P,如果1080P对应的码率为10Mbps,在这种情况下,终端向视频服务器发送流媒体数据获取请求,视频服务器向终端返回的流媒体数据的码率为10Mbps。
流媒体数据的码率越高,视频画质越清晰。流媒体数据的码率越高,流媒体数据的传输对网络的需求也越高。在网络状况较差的情况下,如果用户在视频客户端设置的流媒体数据的分辨率对应的码率较高,则容易导致视频播放卡顿,影响用户体验。因此,引入了流媒体码率动态自适应网络调整的技术。例如,用户在视频客户端设置的流媒体数据的分辨率为自适应的情况下,终端根据流媒体数据的丢包率、网络吞吐量等网络状况信息,动态调整流媒体数据的码率,然后根据调整后的流媒体数据的码率,向视频服务器发送流媒体数据获取请求。例如,流媒体数据的丢包率、网络吞吐率等网络状况信息是终端在一段时间内的统计平均值,虽然流媒体数据的丢包率、网络吞吐率等网络状况信息能够用于衡量该段时间内的网络状况,但是实际上却是滞后于网络状况的变化,也就是说,利用过去一段时间的统计平均值,无法正确衡量当前的网络状况变化。因此,现有技术流媒体码率动态自适应网络调整的技术方案,容易导致流媒体数据的码率的调整滞后于网络状况的变化,从而导致视频播放卡顿,降低用户体验。

本申请实施例中“的(of)”、“相应的(corresponding,relevant)”和“对应的(corresponding)”有时可以混用。应当指出的是,在不强调其区别时,其所要表达的含义是一致的。本申请实施例中通信、传输有时可以混用,应当指出的是,在不强调区别是,其所表达的含义是一致的。例如传输可以包括发送和/或接收,可以为名词,也可以是动词。

本申请实施例中涉及的“网元”也可以称为“设备”,对此不作限定。网元可以是硬件,也可以是从功能上划分的软件或者以上二者结合后的结构。网元可以包括核心网网元,接入网网元(或者称为接入网设备)等。核心网网元,比如会话管理网元、用户面网元等。
针对背景技术中所提出的问题,本申请实施例提供了一种流媒体码率动态自适应网络的调整方法,由接入网设备根据当前网络状况,实现对流媒体数据的码率的调整。与现有技术相比,流媒体数据的码率的调整能够适应于网络状况的变化,因此使得用户可以在网络状况较好的情况下,能够在终端实时观看画质较为清晰的视频,在网络状况变差的情况下,传输码率较小的流媒体数据,从而有助于用户在终端实时观看视频的情况下,降低视频卡顿的可能性,从而有助于提高用户提验。
以下对本申请实施例中的部分用语进行解释说明,以便于本领域技术人员理解。
1、流媒体数据。本申请实施例中的流媒体数据可以理解为一段视频流,可以包括一个或多个视频帧。例如,对于一个时长为45分钟的视频,可以在时间上将该视频划分为多个等长的流媒体数据,每个流媒体数据对应一个或多个码率,视频服务器向终端传输的流媒体数据的码率可以是根据网络状况进行调整的,也可以是用户在终端的视频客户端设置的。
2、流媒体参数。本申请实施例中的流媒体参数可以用于指示视频帧画质的清晰度。示例的,流媒体参数可以为码率、分辨率和/或帧率。例如,码率的大小依赖于分辨率和帧率。例如,码率=帧率*一个视频帧的大小,其中一个视频帧的大小取决于该视频帧分辨率的大小以及该媒体编码技术。因此,通常码率、帧率和分辨率存在对应关系。以流媒体参数为码率为例,在码率自适应网络调整后,帧率和分辨率也会相应调整。
其中,码率越高,视频画质的越清晰。例如,码率为10Mbps的视频画质比码率为5Mbps时的视频画质更清晰。一般来说,码率越高,流媒体数据的传输对网络带宽的需求越高。例如,码率为10Mbps的流媒体数据的传输所需的网络带宽大于码率为5Mbps的流媒体数据的传输所需的网络带宽。

以图1所示的网络架构、流媒体参数为码率为例,对本申请实施例流媒体参数动态自适应网络的调整方法进行详细说明。在流媒体参数为分辨率或帧率等其它参数时,对流媒体参数动态自适应网络调整的方法可以参见流媒体参数为码率时,流媒体参数动态自适应网络的调整方法,在此不再赘述。
示例一:
如图2所示,为本申请实施例一种流媒体参数动态自适应网络的调整方法,具体包括以下步骤。
步骤201、视频服务器向PCF发送媒体信息。其中,媒体信息包括N个码率标识、以及N个码率标识中每个码率标识指示的码率的流媒体数据在传输时的网络需求信息,其中,N个码率标识中每个码率标识用于指示视频服务器支持的一种码率,N为大于或等于2的正整数。
示例的,码率标识可以为码率索引(又可以称之为码率编号),可以是通过协议预定义的,也可以是视频服务器生成的。例如,视频服务器支持的码率分别为10Mbps、5Mbps和2Mbps,并为码率10Mbps、5Mbps和2Mbps分别编号,得到码率索引00、01和10,其中码率索引00用于指示码率10Mbps,码率索引01用于指示码率5Mbps,码率索引10用于指示码率2Mbps。又示例的,码率标识还可以为与码率对应的网络带宽的大小。例如,与码率标识对应的网络带宽的大小可以理解为该码率标识所标识的码率的流媒体数据传输时所需求的最小网络带宽。例如,视频服务器支持的码率分别为10Mbps、5Mbps和2Mbps,如果2Mbps对应网络带宽的大小为A,5Mbps对应的网络带宽的大小为B,10Mbps对应的网络带宽的大小为C,使用A指示2Mbps,B指示5Mbps,C指示10Mbps,即10Mbps、5Mbps和2Mbps的码率标识分别为C、B和A。上述仅为码率标识的举例说明,本申请实施例还可以使用其它信息标识不同的码率,对此不作限定。
在一些实施例中,视频服务器是通过AF向PCF发送媒体信息的。例如,AF可以通过Nnef_AFsessionWithQoS_Create服务将媒体信息发给NEF,再由NEF认证后将其通过Npcf_PolicyAuthorization_Create服务将其发送给PCF。
进一步的,在一些实施例中,媒体信息中还可以包括媒体标识(media indicator),该媒体标识用于指示码率自适应网络的流媒体业务,以便于指示PCF向SMF发送媒体需求信息,具体可以参见步骤202的相关介绍,在此不再赘述。
以一个码率标识指示的码率的流媒体数据在传输时的网络需求信息为例。该码率标识指示的码率的流媒体数据在传输时的网络需求信息可以包括传输时延、吞吐率、网络带宽等信息。
步骤202、PCF接收到来自视频服务器的媒体信息后,向SMF发送媒体网络需求信息。其中,媒体网络需求信息包括N个码率标识、和N个码率标识分别对应的QoS信息,N个码率标识中每个码率标识对应的QoS信息用于指示对应码率标识所指示的码率的流媒体数据在传输时的网络需求。
示例的,N个码率标识中每个码率标识对应的QoS信息可以是根据对应码率标识指示的码率的流媒体数据在传输时的网络需求信息得到的。在这种情况下,QoS信息可以为 QoS参数集。以N取值为3为例。例如,N个码率标识分别为编号1、编号2和编号3,其中,编号1指示的码率为2Mbps,编号2指示的码率为5Mbps,编号3指示的码率为10Mbps,PCF根据2Mbps的流媒体数据在传输时的网络需求信息,生成与编号1对应的QoS参数集,根据5Mbps的流媒体数据在传输时的网络需求信息,生成与编号2对应的QoS参数集,以及根据10Mbps的流媒体数据在传输时的网络需求信息,生成与编号3对应的QoS参数集。
又示例的,N个码率标识中每个码率标识对应的QoS信息可以为对应码率标识指示的码率的流媒体数据在传输时的网络需求信息。以N取值为3为例。例如,N个码率标识分别为编号1、编号2和编号3,其中,编号1指示的码率为2Mbps,编号2指示的码率为5Mbps,编号3指示的码率为10Mbps,如果2Mbps、5Mbps和10Mbps的流媒体数据在传输时的网络需求信息分别为网络需求信息1、网络需求信息2和网络需求信息3,则编号1对应的QoS信息为网络需求信息1,编号2对应的QoS信息为网络需求信息2,编号31对应的QoS信息为网络需求信息3。
进一步的,在媒体信息包括媒体标识的情况下,媒体网络需求信息还可以包括媒体标识,以便于指示SMF可以向RAN网元发送媒体QoS信息,具体可以参见步骤204的相关介绍,在此不再赘述。
示例的,PCF可以通过将媒体网络需求信息携带在Npcf_SMPolicyControl_Update/Create中发送给SMF。又示例的,PCF也可以通过将媒体网络需求信息携带在新定义的信息中发送给SMF。
步骤203、SMF接收到来自PCF的媒体网络需求信息后,向RAN网元发送媒体QoS信息。其中,媒体QoS信息包括N个码率标识以及与N个码率标识分别对应的QoS需求信息。
例如,N个码率标识中每个码率标识对应的QoS需求信息用于指示对应码率标识所指示的码率的流媒体数据在传输时的网络需求。例如,N个码率标识中每个码率标识对应的QoS需求信息包括与该码率标识对应的QoS配置文件(QoS profile)。比如,N个码率标识中每个码率标识对应的QoS需求信息是SMF根据该码率标识对应的QoS信息确定的。以N取值为3为例。例如,N个码率标识分别为编号1、编号2和编号3,其中,编号1指示的码率为2Mbps,编号2指示的码率为5Mbps,编号3指示的码率为10Mbps,PCF根据与编号1对应的QoS信息,确定与编号1对应的QoS需求信息,根据与编号2对应的QoS信息,确定与编号2对应的QoS需求信息,以及根据与编号3对应的QoS信息,确定与编号3对应的QoS需求信息。例如,与编号1对应的QoS需求信息用于指示2Mbps的流媒体数据在传输时的网络需求(如2Mbps的流媒体数据在传输时所需的最小网络带宽)。与编号2对应的QoS需求信息用于指示5Mbps的流媒体数据在传输时的网络需求。与编号3对应的QoS需求信息用于指示10Mbps的流媒体数据在传输时的网络需求。
示例的,SMF可以通过AMF向RAN网元发送媒体QoS信息。例如,SMF可以将媒体QoS信息携带在Namf_Communication_N1N2MessageTransfer包括的N2 SM Container中发送给AMF。再由AMF通过N2 PDU Session服务流程将N2 SM Container发送给RAN网元。
进一步的,在媒体网络需求信息包括媒体标识的情况下,媒体QoS信息还可以包括媒体标识,以便于向RAN网元指示根据当前网络状况确定目标码率标识,具体可以参见步 骤204的相关介绍,在此不再赘述。
步骤204、RAN网元接收到来自SMF的媒体QoS信息后,根据当前网络状况和媒体QoS信息,从N个码率标识中确定目标码率标识。其中,当前网络状况满足目标码率标识所指示的码率的流媒体数据在传输时的网络需求。
在一些实施例中,RAN网元可以基于下列方式,根据当前网络状况和媒体QoS信息从N个码率标识中确定目标码率标识:
RAN网元监测网络带宽的大小;
当RAN网元监测到的网络带宽的大小与目标网络带宽的大小之间的差值在目标范围内持续目标时长时,RAN网元从N个码率标识中确定用于指示流媒体数据在传输时所需求的网络带宽的大小为目标网络带宽的大小的码率的码率标识为目标码率标识。
示例的,RAN网元可以实时监测网络带宽的大小,也可以周期性监测网络带宽的大小,其中RAN网元监测网络带宽的周期小于目标时长。本申请实施例中,目标时长又可以称之为监测时间窗,可以是预定义的,也可以是RAN网元根据缓存信息确定的,对此不作限定。其中,缓存信息用于指示UE允许视频播放所需的最小缓存时长。需要说明的是,在UE通过视频客户端播放视频的情况下,UE允许视频播放所需的最小缓存时长可以理解为:视频客户端允许视频播放所需的最小缓存时长。以缓存信息指示3秒(s)为例,UE在流媒体数据的缓存时长达到3s时,UE才允许播放视频。UE在流媒体数据的缓存时长未达到3s的情况下,UE禁止播放视频,即视频处于暂停播放的状态。进一步的,在一些实施例中,目标时长小于或等于UE允许视频播放所需的最小缓存时长,以便于RAN网元在根据监测到的网络带宽的大小动态调整视频服务器与UE之间传输的流媒体数据的码率。如果目标时长大于UE允许视频播放所需的最小缓存时长,有可能会导致调整视频服务器与UE之间传输的流媒体数据的码率不及时,使得用户在线观看视频的情况下,导致视频播放卡顿,用户体验较差。
在一些实施例中,缓存信息可以是由视频服务器发送给RAN网元的,也可是由RAN网元从UE获取的。进一步的,在缓存信息是由视频服务器发送给RAN网元的情况下,视频服务器可以将缓存信息携带在媒体信息中发送给PCF,再由PCF将缓存信息携带在媒体网络需求信息中发送给SMF,由SMF将缓存信息携带在媒体QoS信息中发送给RAN网元,从而简化视频服务器向RAN网元发送缓存信息的方式。需要说明的是,缓存信息可以是视频服务器通过应用层信息与UE进行信息交互,从UE获取的,也可以预先在视频服务器配置好的,对此不作限定。
需要说明的是,目标范围可以为通过协议预定义的一个误差范围,也可以为预配置在视频服务器中的一个误差范围等,本申请实施例对目标范围的获取方式不作限定。以N取值为3为例。例如,N个码率标识分别为编号1、编号2和编号3,其中,编号1指示的码率为2Mbps,编号2指示的码率为5Mbps,编号3指示的码率为10Mbps,2Mbps的流媒体数据所需求的网络带宽的大小为100M,5Mbps的流媒体数据所需求的网络带宽的大小为200M,10Mbps的流媒体数据所需求的网络带宽的大小为300M,目标范围为[-10M,+10M],如果RAN网元监测到的网络带宽的大小为199M,则RAN网元监测到的网络带宽的大小与5Mbps的流媒体数据所需求的网络带宽的大小之间的差值在目标范围内,当RAN网元监测到的网络带宽的大小与5Mbps的流媒体数据所需求的网络带宽的大小之间的差值在目标范围内持续一个目标时长时,RAN网元确定编号2为目标码率标识。如果 RAN网元监测到的网络带宽的大小与10Mbps的流媒体数据所需求的网络带宽的大小之间的差值在目标范围内持续一个目标时长时,RAN网元确定编号3为目标码率标识。
步骤205,RAN网元向UE发送目标码率标识。
在一些实施例中,RAN网元可以将目标码率标识携带在无线资源控制(radio resource control,RRC)消息、或用户面下行消息的头信息中发送给UE。
示例的,RAN网元可以将目标码率标识携带在用户面消息的分组数据汇聚协议(packet data convergence protocol,PDCP)头中发送给UE。
需要说明的是,上述仅为RAN网元向UE发送目标码率标识的示例性说明,并不构成对本申请实施例的限定。本申请实施例中RAN网元还可以通过其它方式向UE发送目标码率标识。
步骤206、UE接收到来自视频服务器的目标码率标识,根据目标码率标识,向视频服务器发送流媒体数据获取请求,其中,流媒体数据获取请求包括与目标码率标识对应的流媒体数据获取地址。例如,流媒体数据获取地址可以为网际互联协议(internet protocol,IP)地址。
在一些实施例中,UE在当前缓存时长小于或等于第一阈值时,根据目标码率标识向视频服务器发送流媒体数据获取请求。例如,第一阈值可以是预定义的,也可以是UE结合具体场景确定的,对此不作限定。例如,第一阈值可以为3分钟、5分钟等。
需要说明的是,在UE是通过视频客户端播放视频的情况下,当前缓存时长为视频客户端的当前缓存时长。
例如,视频服务器还可以向UE发送媒体概述信息,其中媒体概述信息包括N个码率标识,这里N个码率标识与上述媒体信息、媒体网络需求信息以及媒体QoS信息包括的N个码率标识相同。例如,视频服务器可以通过应用层信息将媒体概述信息发送给UE,也可以通过新定义的消息将媒体概述信息发送给UE,以使得UE能够识别目标码率标识。或者,UE还可以从RAN网元获取N个码率标识。本申请实施例对UE获取N个码率标识的方式不作限定。
应理解,本申请实施例对媒体信息、媒体网络需求信息、媒体QoS信息以及媒体概述信息的名字不作限定。
步骤207,视频服务器接收到来自UE的流媒体数据获取请求,从与目标码率标识对应的流媒体数据获取地址,获取目标码率标识指示码率的流媒体数据,并向UE返回目标码率标识指示码率的流媒体数据。
一个举例说明。
用户使用在UE的视频客户端在线观看一个时长为45分钟的视频,每当视频客户端的当前缓存时长小于或等于第一阈值时,向视频服务器发送流媒体数据获取请求,每次视频服务器响应于接收到UE发送的一个流媒体数据获取请求,向UE返回的流媒体数据的时长为T。例如,在时刻T1,UE接收到来自RAN网元发送目标码率标识,如果当前缓存时长大于第一阈值,则UE在播放视频使得当前缓存时长小于或等于第一阈值后,根据目标码率标识,向视频服务器发送流媒体数据获取请求,视频服务器响应于终端根据目标码率标识发送的流媒体数据获取请求,向UE返回目标码率标识所指示的流媒体数据。
示例二:
如图3所示,为本申请实施例另一流媒体参数动态自适应网络的调整方法,具体包括以下步骤。
步骤301、视频服务器向PCF发送媒体信息。其中,媒体信息包括N个码率标识、以及N个码率标识中每个码率标识指示的码率的流媒体数据在传输时的网络需求信息,其中,N个码率标识中每个码率标识用于指示视频服务器支持的一种码率,N为大于或等于2的正整数。
步骤302、PCF接收到来自视频服务器的媒体信息后,向SMF发送媒体网络需求信息。其中,媒体网络需求信息包括N个码率标识、和N个码率标识分别对应的QoS信息,N个码率标识中每个码率标识对应的QoS信息用于指示对应码率标识所指示的码率的流媒体数据在传输时的网络需求。
步骤303、SMF接收到来自PCF的媒体网络需求信息后,向RAN网元发送媒体QoS信息。其中,媒体QoS信息包括N个码率标识以及与N个码率标识分别对应的QoS需求信息。
步骤304、RAN网元接收到来自SMF的媒体QoS信息后,根据当前网络状况和媒体QoS信息,从N个码率标识中确定目标码率标识。其中,当前网络状况满足目标码率标识所指示的码率的流媒体数据在传输时的网络需求。
步骤305、RAN网元向视频服务器发送目标码率标识。
在一些实施例中,RAN网元可以将目标码率标识携带在控制面信令、或用户面下行消息的头信息中发送给视频服务器。
示例的,RAN网元可以控制面信令与SMF交互,将目标码率标识给SMF,再由SMF将目标码率标识通知发送给PCF,然后由PCF通过能力开放服务将目标码率标识通知发送给AF,最后由AF将目标码率标识通知发送给视频服务器。
又示例的,RAN网元可以将目标码率标识携带在用户面消息的用户面GPRS隧道协议(GPRS tunneling protocol for the user plane,GTP-U)头中发送给UPF,再由UPF将目标码率标识携带在用户面消息的网络协议(internet protocol,IP)头中发送给视频服务器。需要说明的是,本申请实施例中GTP-U又可以简称为GTP。
需要说明的是,上述仅为RAN网元向视频服务器发送目标码率标识的示例性说明,并不构成对本申请实施例的限定。本申请实施例中RAN网元还可以通过其它方式向视频服务器发送目标码率标识。
步骤306、视频服务器接收到来自RAN网元的目标码率标识,向UE发送目标码率标识所指示的码率的流媒体数据。
示例的,视频服务器接收到来自RAN网元发送的目标码率标识后,响应于接收到来自UE的流媒体数据获取请求,向UE发送目标码率标识所指示的码率的流媒体数据。
例如,UE可以在当前缓存时长小于或等于第一阈值时,根据目标码率标识向视频服务器发送流媒体数据获取请求。
需要说明的是,示例二中步骤301~步骤304可以参见示例一中步骤201~步骤204的相关介绍,在此不再赘述。其中,与示例一不同的是,示例二可以无需对UE改进,RAN网元直接向视频服务器发送目标码率标识。
对于示例一和示例二中涉及的一种流媒体码率动态自适应网络的调整方法可以应用于最大比特速率(maximum bit rate,MBR)业务场景,对于保证比特速率(guaranteed bit  rate,GBR)业务场景,如果视频服务器与UE之间传输的流媒体数据的码率适应于RAN网元监测到的网络带宽的大小被调整,还需要重新对用于流媒体数据传输的PDU会话进行QoS参数配置,以使得PDU会话能够满足码率调整后视频服务器与UE之间传输的流媒体数据的传输需求。其中,通过PDU会话可以建立UE与视频服务器之间的连接,从而实现UE与视频服务器之间传输流媒体数据。例如,可以参见示例三、示例四的相关介绍。
示例三:
