Abstract

本申请涉及无线通信技术领域，提供一种加入组播广播业务MBS会话的方法及装置，用以解决MBS会话管理复杂，其中，方法包括：网络设备根据UE发送的MBS信息，通过NRF确定当前服务于MBS信息对应的MBS会话的第一SMF的信息，网络设备再根据第一SMF的信息，将MBS信息发送给第一SMF，以使第一SMF将UE加入到MBS会话中。这样，网络设备查询得到当前服务于MBS会话的SMF，使得一个MBS会话只由一个SMF服务，避免出现多个SMF服务于同一个MBS会话的情况，简化了MBS会话管理。

加入组播广播业务MBS会话的方法及装置
相关申请的交叉引用
本申请要求在2020年05月22日提交中国专利局、申请号为202010441153.5、申请名称为“加入组播广播业务MBS会话的方法及装置”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
本申请涉及无线通信技术领域，提供了一种加入组播广播业务MBS会话的方法及装置。
背景技术
第五代移动通信系统(Fifth Generation Mobile Networks，5G)支持组播广播业务(Multicast Broadcast Service，MBS)，以实现第四版互联网协议(Internet Protocol Version 4，IPv4)/第六版互联网协议(Internet Protocol Version 6，IPv6)多播/广播、网络协议电视(Internet Protocol Television，IPTV)等业务数据的传输，或者优化组通信、物联网(Internet of things，IoT)通信、车联网(Vehicle to Everything，V2X)通信等其它业务的传输效率和网络资源使用效率。为了实现上述功能，5G需要将有MBS需求的用户终端(User Equipment，UE)加入到MBS会话。
根据第三代合作伙伴计划(the third Generation Partner Project，3GPP)的标准，接入与移动性管理功能(Access and Mobility Management Function，AMF)接收UE发送的加入MBS会话的请求消息，为UE选择服务于协议数据单元(Protocol Data Unit，PDU)会话和MBS会话的会话管理功能(Session Management Function，SMF)，这样，UE可以加入到MBS会话中，并通过PDU会话通道接收用户面功能(User Plane Function，UPF)发送的MBS数据。
但采用上述加入MBS会话的方法会产生以下问题：当不同的AMF收到多个UE发送的加入相同的MBS会话的请求消息，可能出现不同的AMF选择不同的SMF，将相应的UE加入到相同的MBS会话中，那么多个SMF服务于同一个MBS会话，导致MBS会话管理复杂，甚至MBS数据无法正常发送给UE。
有鉴于此，本申请实施例提供了一种新的加入MBS会话的方法。

所述NRF102用于根据网络设备101发送的MBS信息，和存储的SMF的信息，确定出当前服务于该MBS信息对应的MBS会话的SMF。
SMF103用于服务UE的PDU会话和MBS会话。具体地，SMF103通过N4接口向服务于该MBS会话的UPF发送会话管理(Session Management，SM)消息，SM消息包括更新后的MBS相关信息，所述相关信息包括但不限于组播/广播业务质量流(MBS Quality of Service flow，MBS QoS flow)信息、接收MBS数据的隧道信息；SMF103通过N2接口向RAN发送SM消息，以使RAN根据接收到的SM消息，配置从UPF接收MBS数据的隧道，以及与UE之间传输MBS数据的无线资源；SMF103通过N1接口向UE发送SM消息，以使UE根据SM消息确定开始接收MBS数据。
参阅图2所示，本申请实施例提供了加入MBS会话的流程示意图。
S201：网络设备接收UE发送的MBS信息。
MBS信息表征UE请求加入的MBS会话的标识信息，本申请实施例中的MBS信息包括以下信息的部分或者全部：
MBS组播地址(MBS Multicast Address)；临时移动组标识(Temporary Move Group ID，TMGI)，所述TMGI包含MBS业务标识；MBS会话标识(MBS Session ID)。
S202：网络设备向NRF发送MBS信息。
S203：NRF接收网络设备发送的MBS信息，依据MBS信息和存储的SMF的信息，确定第一SMF，所述第一SMF是当前服务于该MBS信息对应的MBS会话的SMF。
其中，在执行步骤203之前，SMF建立MBS会话时，向NRF注册或更新SMF的信息，所述SMF的信息包括MBS会话的信息；SMF释放MBS会话时，向NRF请求更新SMF的信息，所述更新SMF的信息包括：从SMF的信息中删除MBS会话的信息。这样，NRF可以根据SMF的信息，确定当前服务于该MBS信息对应的MBS会话的SMF。
MBS会话的信息表征SMF当前服务于该MBS会话的信息，在本申请实施例中，MBS会话的信息可以包括以下信息的部分或者全部：MBS组播地址、TMGI、MBS会话标识。
S204：NRF向网络设备提供第一SMF的信息。
S205：网络设备根据第一SMF的信息，将MBS信息发送给第一SMF，以使第一SMF将UE加入到该MBS会话中。
在本申请实施例中，针对UE发起加入MBS的请求消息时，UE请求建立PDU会话和已建立PDU会话的场景，提供了以下三个实施例，描述UE加入到MBS会话的过程。
实施例一：在UE请求建立PDU会话时，由AMF选择服务于PDU会话和MBS会话的SMF。
参阅图3所示，提供了实施例一的流程示意图。
S301：UE向AMF发送携带有MBS信息的上行非接入层传输消息。
具体地，UE向AMF发送上行非接入层传输(Uplink Non-Access Layer，UL NAS Transport)消息，在UL NAS Transport消息中携带有MBS信息和SM消息。其中，这里的SM消息包括PDU会话建立请求；MBS信息表征UE请求加入的MBS会话的标识信息，MBS信息是由MBS的内容提供者(Content Provider，CP)或者应用服务器(Application Server，AS)提供给UE的，MBS信息可为以下信息的部分或者全部：MBS组播地址、TMGI、MBS会话标识。
S302：AMF向NRF发送包含MBS信息的NRF网络功能发现请求。
具体地，AMF向NRF发起NRF网络功能发现请求Nnrf_NFDiscovery_Request，所述Nnrf_NFDiscovery_Request用于查询当前服务于MBS信息对应的第一SMF。在Nnrf_NFDiscovery_Request中携带了NF类型和UE提供的MBS信息，除此之外，在Nnrf_NFDiscovery_Request中还可以携带MBS能力指示信息和第一信息，其中，MBS能力指示信息用于请求具备MBS能力的SMF，第一信息用于限制所请求的SMF的服务范围。第一信息包括以下信息的部分或者全部：网络切片信息、数据网络名称(Data Network Name，DNN)、公共陆地移动网络标识(Public Land Mobile Network ID，PLMN ID)和服务区域信息。
网络切片信息包括单个网络切片选择辅助信息(A Single Network Slice Selects Auxiliary Information，S-NSSAI)、网络切片实例标识(Network Slice Instance ID，NSI)；服务区域信息包括跟踪区标识(Tracking Area Identifier，TAI)、跟踪区标识列表(TAI List，即多个TAI)。这样，可以保证在上述规定的服务范围内，只有一个SMF用于为特定MBS的MBS会话提供服务，而在服务范围外，可以由其它SMF为特定MBS的MBS会话提供服务，从而避免了一个SMF受限于自身的服务区域或者荷载过大等问题，难以管理所有范围的MBS会话的情况。
S303a：NRF根据接收的MBS信息和存储的SMF的信息，确定存在当前服务于该MBS信息对应的MBS会话的SMF时，向AMF发送包含第一SMF的信息的NRF网络功能发现请求响应。
在执行步骤303a之前，SMF建立MBS会话时，向NRF发起包含注册的SMF的信息的NRF网络功能管理注册Nnrf_NFManagement_NFRegister或者包含更新的SMF的信息的NRF网络功能管理信息更新Nnrf_NFManagement_NFUpdate，所述SMF的信息包括MBS会话的信息；SMF释放MBS会话时，向NRF发起包含更新的SMF的信息的Nnrf_NFManagement_NFUpdate，所述更新SMF的信息包括：从SMF的信息 中删除MBS会话的信息。这样，NRF可以根据SMF的信息，确定当前服务于该MBS信息对应的MBS会话的SMF。SMF可通过以下任意一种方式获取到MBS会话的信息：
(1)由MBS的CP或者AS将MBS信息提供UE，当UE发起加入MBS会话的第一请求消息时，再由UE提供给SMF；
(2)由CP或者AS直接配置SMF，或者由CP或者AS通过网络开放功能(Network Exposure Function，NEF)配置给SMF；
(3)CP或者AS将MBS信息发送给MBS业务控制面功能实体，再由MBS业务控制面功能实体将MBS会话的信息配置给SMF。其中，MBS业务控制面功能实体可为MBS功能(MBS Function，MBSF)、MBS业务功能控制实体(MBS Function-Control Plane，MSF-C)。
除此之外，SMF的信息还可以包括SMF的标识信息、SMF所服务的网络切片信息、DNN、服务区域信息，所述标识信息可包括SMF ID、SMF FQDN、IP Address、PLMN ID，所述SMF所服务的网络切片信息可包括S-NSSAI、NSI，所述服务区域信息可包括TAI、TAI List。
具体地，在执行步骤303a时，NRF将AMF发送的MBS信息，与SMF的信息中的MBS会话的信息进行匹配，将匹配一致的SMF确定为第一SMF；或者，
NRF将AMF发送的MBS信息、MBS能力指示信息和第一信息，与SMF的信息进行匹配，将匹配一致的SMF确定为第一SMF。
其次，NRF获取第一SMF的信息。第一SMF的信息包括SMF的标识信息，还可以包括SMF当前服务的该MBS会话的信息。
最后，NRF向AMF发送包含第一SMF的信息的Nnrf_NFDiscovery_Request响应。
S303b：NRF根据接收的MBS信息和存储的SMF的信息，确定不存在当前服务于该MBS信息对应的MBS会话的SMF时，向AMF发送包含具备MBS能力的第三SMF的信息的NRF网络功能发现请求 Nnrf_NFDiscovery_Request响应。
在执行步骤303b之前，SMF建立MBS会话时，向NRF注册或更新SMF的信息，所述SMF的信息包括MBS会话的信息；SMF释放MBS会话时，向NRF请求更新SMF的信息，所述更新SMF的信息包括：从SMF的信息中删除MBS会话的信息。具体操作方式前面已经描述，在此不再赘述。
在执行步骤303b时，NRF需要从注册的SMF里筛选出所有具备MBS能力的第三SMF，因此第三SMF的数量可能为一个，也可能为多个。第三SMF的信息至少包括SMF的标识信息、表征SMF具备MBS能力的信息。
S304a：AMF选择第一SMF。
当前只存在一个服务于该MBS会话的SMF，因此，AMF直接选择第一SMF，执行后续的UE加入该MBS会话的操作即可。
S304b：AMF选择第三SMF。
在执行步骤304b时，若NRF只提供了一个第三SMF的信息，则AMF直接选择该第三SMF即可；若NRF提供了多个第三SMF的信息，则AMF可以根据预设的本地策略选择一个第三SMF。
然后，被选中的第三SMF可以向NRF更新信息，将该MBS会话的信息添加到该第三SMF的信息中。具体添加方式已在前面描述，在此不再赘述。

当第一SMF的服务区域不包含UE所在的区域时，AMF不能直接接入第一SMF，AMF可以通过具备MBS能力且服务区域包含UE所在区域的SMF，作为中间SMF，将MBS信息传输给第一SMF。在Nsmf_PDUSession_CreateSMContext请求或者Nsmf_MBSSession_CreateSMContext中携带UE的标识信息、MBS信息和其它信息，请求将UE加入到该MBS会话中。
具体地，AMF可以从本地配置的SMF中，选择一个具备MBS能力的SMF作为中间SMF；也可以向NRF查询能够服务于UE所在的区域，且具备MBS能力的SMF，作为中间SMF。然后，中间SMF需要向NRF更新信息，将该MBS会话的信息添加到中间SMF的信息中。具体添加方式已在前面描述，在此不再赘述。

具体地，第一SMF通过N4接口向服务于该MBS会话的UPF发送SM消息，SM消息包括更新后的MBS相关信息，所述相关信息包括但不限于MBS QoS flow信息、接收MBS数据的隧道信息；第一SMF通过N2接口向RAN发送SM消息，以使RAN根据接收到的SM消息，配置从UPF接收MBS数据的隧道，以及与UE之间传输MBS数据的无线资源；第一SMF通过N1接口向UE发送SM消息，以使UE根据SM消息确定开始接收MBS数据。
当第一SMF释放该MBS会话后，需要向NRF更新信息，将该MBS会话的信息从第一SMF的信息中删除。
S306b：第三SMF根据MBS信息，将UE加入到该MBS会话中。
