下面结合附图及实施例对本申请再作进一步详细的描述。
在第四代移动通信技术(4G)系统中,MBMS技术的使用场景主要是广播电视,公共安全等业务场景,因此MBMS方案的核心思想是将业务本身预定义为广播业务,为了保证覆盖在网络中划分为多个广播区域,在这些区域进行广播,并将这些广播业务具体发送的位置和临时移动组标识(TMGI)告知终端,终端根据自身订阅的情况主动地去对应的位置获取相应的广播内容。具体地,在空口上,支持两种传输方式,一种是多播广播单频网(MBSFN)方式,一种是单小区点对多点(SC-PTM)方式。
从上面的描述可以看出,相关技术中,MBMS技术主要面向的是广播等预定义业务,多播或广播区域是预先规划的,并不考虑业务连续性问题,也不支持多播或广播业务切换流程。
另一方面,第五代移动通信技术(5G)系统中,需要考虑多播或广播业务中,当终端在移动过程中如何保证业务的连续性。因此,当接收多播或广播业务的用户设备(UE)移动到非多播或广播区域时,如何保证源基站下其他接收多播或广播业务的终端继续接收多播或广播业务,而切换的UE能够有序、无丢失、无重复的在目标基站接收该多播或广播业务的数据,是目前亟待解决的问题。
基于此,在本申请的各种实施例中,通过源基站和核心网设备之间建立的切换终端专享的传输通道,来传输多播或广播业务结束标识,从而使得目标基站能够获知多播或广播业务结束标识,即获知从核心网设备接收 多播或广播业务数据的时机,进而实现目标基站对多播或广播业务的连续、有序的发送。
本申请实施例提供一种信息传输方法,应用于核心网设备,如图1所示,该方法包括:
步骤100:确定接收多播或广播业务的终端进行小区切换;
步骤101:向源基站发送多播或广播业务结束标识。
其中,所述核心网设备与所述源基站之间还建立有传输所述多播或广播业务数据的多播或广播传输通道。
发送的多播或广播业务结束标识用于供目标基站确定从所述核心网设备接收所述多播或广播业务数据的时机。
这里,所述多播或广播业务被切换的终端接收,即所述终端接收所述多播或广播业务且进行切换(小区切换);当然,实际应用时,所述多播或广播业务还可能会被其他终端接收,也就是说,所述多播或广播业务至少被切换的终端接收。
在一实施例中,步骤101中,所述核心网设备可以通过与源基站建立的所述终端的专享通道向所述源基站发送多播或广播业务结束标识。
所述专享通道也可以称为专用(英文可以表达为specific)通道,也可以称为专享传输通道,也可以称为专用传输通道,还可以称为单播通道或单播传输通道,本申请实施例对此不作限定,只要实现所述专享通道的功能即可。
实际应用时,在步骤100中,在切换过程中,所述目标基站会向所述核心网设备发送路径切换请求,以请求下行数据传输路径切换至所述目标基站,即此时,所述核心网设备就会获知所述终端进行小区切换。
基于此,在一实施例中,所述核心网设备接收到所述目标基站发送的路径切换请求,即确定接收所述终端进行小区切换;所述路径切换请求用于请求从所述核心网设备获取所述多播或广播业务的数据。
实际应用时,由于终端需要进行小区切换,所以可以在小区切换过程(包括切换准备、切换执行和切换完成过程)中建立所述专享通道,即所述专享通道是在小区切换过程中建立的,在需要时建立所述共享通道,即按需建立所述共享通道,如此,实现方式灵活,不会造成资源浪费。
其中,实际应用时,切换准备过程可以包括:终端接收多播或广播业务数据、进行测量上报、源基站进行切换决策、源基站与目标基站进行信息交互以确定进行小区切换等步骤。
切换执行过程可以包括:终端收到切换命令开始切换、同步到新小区、将相关信息(序列号状态(英文表达SN status),数据(英文表达为data,包含本地缓存的和从核心网接收的新数据))发送给目标基站,以便目标基站缓存这些信息等步骤。
切换完成过程可以包括:终端完成小区切换、目标基站向核心网发送 路径切换请求及后续步骤。
当然也可以在建立多播或广播会话时,就建立所述专享通道,即所述专享通道是在所述多播或广播业务对应的多播或广播会话建立时建立的,由于是在终端开始接收所述多播或广播业务时就建立了所述共享通道,所以能够确保时时可用。
其中,可以由所述源基站触发建立所述专享通道;具体地,所述源基站可以向所述核心网设备发送一个指示信息(在小区切换过程中发送),用于指示建立所述专享通道。

实际应用时,当建立多播或广播会话时建立所述专享通道时,可以在所述终端申请所述多播或广播业务时触发建立所述共享通道。
基于此,在一实施例中,在所述专享通道是在所述多播或广播业务对应的多播会话建立时建立的情况下,该方法还可以包括:
接收所述终端发送的所述多播或广播业务申请,以触发建立所述专享通道。
实际应用时,所述多播或广播传输通道可以用多播或广播业务专用的PDU session来表征,也可以通过多播或广播业务专用的PDU session中的QoS flow来表征,还可以是基站(比如gNB)与核心网设备之间的通用无线分组业务隧道协议(GTP)隧道(英文表达为tunnel)(具体为N3tunnel)来表征,还可以与某个单播业务相同PDU session中的多播业务单独的QoS flow来表征。
基于此,在一实施例中,所述专享通道与所述多播或广播业务的以下相关信息至少之一具有绑定关系:
QoS flow标识;
PDU session标识;
传输隧道标识。
其中,传输隧道是指GTP隧道,具体可以是N3tunnel。
实际应用时,所述核心网设备可以包括用户面功能(UPF)实体或SMF,当然,在建立所述专享通道的过程中需要多个核心网设备(比如AMF、SMF、UPF)进行信息交互。
当所述核心网设备确定所述终端进行小区切换后,就会通过所述专享通道向所述源基站发送所述多播或广播业务结束标识(英文可以表达为end marker);具体地,可以发送一个或多个表征多播或广播业务结束标识的包,以便所述目标基站能够获知所述源基站发送的数据包已经结束,接着需要从所述核心网设备获取所述多播或广播业务数据包。
实际应用时,当所述目标基站接收到多播或广播业务结束标识,且从所述核心网设备获取到所述多播或广播业务数据时,此时所述终端已经实现了小区切换,且保证了多播或广播业务的连续性,所述目标基站就可以通知所述核心网设备释放所述专享通道的资源,以节省资源。

在本应用实施例中,切换过程中核心网网元触发建立源基站和核心网网元间的UE专享传输通道。
本应用实施例终端接收多播或广播业务的流程,包括以下步骤:
步骤1:UE请求某多播或广播业务,即向核心网发送多播或广播业务申请,核心网侧识别UE申请的多播或广播业务后,为UE建立对应的多播传输所需的PDU session、QoS flow、传输隧道等,即为UE建立多播传通道。
步骤2:在接收多播或广播业务的过程中,UE按照网络侧的配置进行测量及测量结果上报;
步骤3:源基站决定将UE切换到目标基站,源基站向目标基站发送切换请求;
这里,实际应用时,源基站决定将UE切换到目标基站的原因可以是有很多种,比如所述源基站可以根据UE上报的测量结果或无线资源管理(RRM)信息决定将UE切换到目标基站,也可以网络决定做负载均衡时决定将UE切换到目标基站等。
所述切换请求携带以下信息中的至少一种:目标小区(target cell)ID,UE的小区无线网络临时标识(C-RNTI)、群组无线网络临时标识(G-RNTI)、 多播或广播业务相关的PDU session信息(也可以理解为标识)、QoS flow信息、传输隧道信息、多播或广播标识(表明该业务为多播或广播业务)等。
步骤4:目标基站对UE进行接入控制,若接纳则通知源基站,然后源基站向UE口发切换命令;
步骤5:源基站对目标基站做序列号状态传输(英文表达为SN status transfer),数据转发(英文表达为data forwarding);
这里,本步骤的具体实现可参照相关技术中接收单播业务的UE切换流程中源基站对目标基站做序列号状态传输,数据转发。
步骤6:UE从源基站去附着(英文表达为detach),并接入到目标基站;
这里,UE通过随机接入信道(RACH)接入到目标基站。
步骤7:目标基站转发源基站发送的数据包给UE;
步骤8:目标基站向核心网(如接入和移动管理功能(AMF))发起路径切换(英文可以表达为path switch)请求,以将下行数据传输路径切换到目标基站;
这里,该请求中可能携带多播或广播业务标识,或多播传输标识(QoS flow、PDU Session、或传隧道信息等),以及UE信息。
步骤9:当核心网网元(如可能是AMF,会话管理功能(SMF)和UPF中的一个)直接或间接收到目标基站的路径切换请求后,为切换的UE建立源基站和核心网间的单播传输通道,即专享传输通道;
这里,单播传输通道可以通过单播QoS flow表征,此时该单播QoS flow与多播或广播业务的QoS flow间存在绑定关系,且两个QoS flow可能属于同一个或不同PDU session,两个QoS flow可能共用同一个或用不同的传输隧道。单播传输通道也可以通过别的信息表征,比如单播传输通道也可能是指一个单独的PDU session,或单独的传输隧道等,无论哪种方式,新建立的单播传输通道与多播或广播业务的以下信息至少之一有一定的绑定关系:
QoS flow标识;
PDU session标识;
传输隧道标识。
这里,实际应用时,步骤7和步骤8的执行顺序可以不分先后。
实际应用时,在AMF收到路径切换请求的情况下,AMF发送相应的PDU session建立请求给SMF,然后SMF反馈相关上下文给AMF作为响应标识;然后SMF建立单播传输通道。
在SMF收到路径切换请求的情况下,SMF直接建立单播传输通道。
在UPF收到路径切换请求的情况下,UPF指示SMF建立单播传输通道;SMF收到指示后建立单播传输通道。
步骤10:UPF通过建立的单播传输通道发送多个end marker包给源基 站,源基站将接收的多个end marker包转发给目标基站;
步骤11:目标基站接到end marker后从UPF接收多播或广播业务的数据包;
步骤12:目标基站接收AMF的路径切换确认,并通知源基站释放UE上下文(context)。
其中,实际应用时,目标基站在收到end marker或者直接从UPF接收到数据包之后,可以向核心网发送指示信息(即第三指示信息),核心网释放源基站和核心网间的单播传输通道。
应用实施例二
在本应用实施例中,切换过程中源基站触发建立源基站和核心网网元间的UE专享传输通道。
本应用实施例终端接收多播或广播业务的流程,包括以下步骤:
步骤1:UE请求某多播或广播业务,即向核心网发送多播或广播业务申请,核心网侧识别UE申请的多播或广播业务后,为UE建立对应的多播传输所需的PDU session、QoS flow、传输隧道等,即为UE建立多播传通道。
步骤2:在接收多播或广播业务的过程中,UE按照网络侧的配置进行测量及测量结果上报;
步骤3:源基站决定将UE切换到目标基站,源基站向目标基站发送切换请求;
这里,实际应用时,源基站决定将UE切换到目标基站的原因可以是有很多种,比如所述源基站可以根据UE上报的测量结果或RRM信息决定将UE切换到目标基站,也可以网络决定做负载均衡时决定将UE切换到目标基站等。
所述切换请求携带以下信息中的至少一种:target cell ID,UE的C-RNTI、G-RNTI、多播或广播业务相关的PDU session信息(也可以理解为标识)、QoS flow信息、传输隧道信息、多播或广播标识(表明该业务为多播或广播业务)等。
步骤4:目标基站对UE进行接入控制,若接纳则通知源基站,然后源基站向UE发切换命令;
步骤5:源基站向核心网网元(可能是AMF、SMF和UPF中的一个)发送相应的指示信息,即第一指示信息,用于指示建立源基站和核心网间的单播传通道,即专享传输通道;
比如,源基站向AMF发送指示信息,AMF收到指示信息后指示UPF建立和源基站间通道,或者源基站直接指示UPF。
其中,源基站向核心网网元发送的指示信息中应至少包含多播或广播业务的QoS flow信息(如QoS flow标识符(QFI)),及UE标识信息,还可以包含其他多播传输通道信息,比如对应的PDU session标识、隧道信息 (N3/N9tunnel)标识中的一种或多种。
单播传输通道可以通过单播QoS flow表征,此时该单播QoS flow与多播或广播业务的QoS flow间存在绑定关系,两个QoS flow可能属于同一个或不同PDU session,两个QoS flow可能共用同一个或用不同的传输隧道。单播传输通道也可以通过别的信息表征,比如单播传输通道也可能是指一个单独的PDU session,或单独的传输隧道等,无论哪种方式,新建立的单播传输通道与多播或广播业务的以下信息至少之一有一定的绑定关系:
QoS flow标识;
PDU session标识;
传输隧道标识。
实际应用时,该步骤还可能发生在源基站决定对UE做切换后(可能是在向目标基站发切换请求之前或之后),或者发生在目标基站决定要接收切换的UE后(可能在向源基站反馈切换确认之前或之后)。
另外,实际应用时,单播传输通道建立的过程可能是与后续步骤并行。
步骤6:源基站对目标基站做序列号状态传输,数据转发;
这里,本步骤的具体实现可参照相关技术中接收单播业务的UE切换流程中源基站对目标基站做序列号状态传输,数据转发。
步骤7:UE从源基站去附着(英文表达为detach),并接入到目标基站;
这里,UE通过RACH接入到目标基站。
步骤8:目标基站转发源基站发送的数据包给UE;
步骤9:目标基站向核心网(如AMF)发起路径切换请求,以将下行数据传输路径切换到目标基站;
这里,该请求中可能携带多播或广播业务标识,或多播传输标识(QoS flow、PDU Session、或传隧道信息等),以及UE信息。
步骤10:UPF通过建立的单播传输通道发送多个end marker包给源基站,源基站将接收的多个end marker包转发给目标基站;
步骤11:目标基站接到end marker后从UPF接收多播或广播业务的数据包;
步骤12:目标基站接收AMF的路径切换确认,并通知源基站释放UE context。
其中,实际应用时,目标基站在收到end marker或者直接从UPF接收到数据包之后,可以向核心网发送指示信息(即第三指示信息),核心网释放源基站和核心网间的单播传输通道。
应用实施例三
在本应用实施例中,切换过程中目标基站触发建立源基站和核心网网元间的UE专享传输通道。

步骤4:目标基站对UE进行接入控制,若接纳则通知源基站,然后源基站向UE发切换命令;
步骤5:源基站对目标基站做序列号状态传输,数据转发;
这里,本步骤的具体实现可参照相关技术中接收单播业务的UE切换流程中源基站对目标基站做序列号状态传输,数据转发。
步骤6:源基站向核心网网元(可能是AMF、SMF和UPF中的一个)发送相应的指示信息,即第二指示信息,用于指示建立源基站和核心网间的单播传通道,即专享传输通道;
比如,目标基站向AMF发送指示信息,AMF收到指示信息后指示UPF建立和源基站间通道,或者目标基站直接指示UPF。
其中,目标基站向核心网网元发送的指示信息中应至少包含多播或广播业务的QoS flow信息(如QFI),及UE标识信息,还可以包含其他多播传输通道信息,比如对应的PDU session标识、隧道信息(N3/N9tunnel)标识中的一种或多种。
单播传输通道可以通过单播QoS flow表征,此时该单播QoS flow与多播或广播业务的QoS flow间存在绑定关系,两个QoS flow可能属于同一个或不同PDU session,两个QoS flow可以共用同一个的传输隧道或用不同的传输隧道。也可以通过别的信息表征,比如单播传输通道也可能是指一个单独的PDU session,或单独的传输隧道等,无论哪种方式,新建立的单播传输通道与多播或广播业务的以下信息至少之一有一定的绑定关系:
QoS flow标识;
PDU session标识;
传输隧道标识。
实际应用时,该步骤还可能发生在目标基站收到源基站的切换请求后(可能是在向目标基站发切换请求之前或之后),也可能发生在目标基站收到源基站发送的序列号状态和转发的数据后。
另外,实际应用时,单播传输通道建立的过程可能是与后续步骤并行。
步骤7:UE从源基站去附着,并接入到目标基站;
这里,UE通过RACH接入到目标基站。
步骤8:目标基站转发源基站发送的数据包给UE;
步骤9:目标基站向核心网(如AMF)发起路径切换请求,以将下行数据传输路径切换到目标基站;

步骤11:目标基站接到end marker后从UPF接收多播或广播业务的数据包;

其中,实际应用时,目标基站在收到end marker包或者直接从UPF接收到数据包之后,可以向核心网发送指示信息(即第三指示信息),核心网释放源基站和核心网间的单播传输通道。
从应用实施例一、二和三可以看出,如图5所示,在本申请实施例中,UE接收多播或广播业务的流程,主要包括:
步骤501:进行组播广告(英文表达为Multicast Announcement),以便UE选择多播或广播业务;
步骤502:UE选择多播或广播业务后,进行注册,即申请多播或广播业务,建立PDU session;
步骤503:UE加入多播或广播业务;
步骤504:基站(无线接入网(RAN)侧)和核心网之间建立隧道,获得UE和多播或广播业务的绑定关系;
这里,步骤501~504相当于应用实施例一至三中的步骤1。
步骤505:进行多播或广播业务数据的传输;
其中,传输方式可以是点对点(PTP)方式或点对多(PTM)方式。

步骤508:在切换过程中建立,源基站实现数据转发,并建立单播传输通道;

步骤510:目标基站接收到end marker包后从UPF接收多播或广播业务的数据。
在UE的切换过程中触发UE专用的单播传输通道的建立,仅在需要时建立,方式灵活动态,按需建立。
其中,由核心网触发建立单播传通道的方式,无需增加额外的信令交互。由RAN侧触发建立单播传通道的方式,由于是在有需求的情况下,所以实施时可以尽早建立该单播传输通道,以避免由于传输通道的建立增加切换时延。
应用实施例四
在本应用实施例中,网络为UE初始建立多播传输通道时同时建立源基站和核心网网元间的UE专享传输通道。
本应用实施例终端接收多播或广播业务的流程,包括以下步骤:
步骤1:UE请求某多播或广播业务,即向核心网发送多播或广播业务申请,核心网侧识别UE申请的多播或广播业务后,为UE建立对应的多播传输所需的PDU session、QoS flow、传输隧道等,即为UE建立多播传通道;同时,建立源基站和核心网网元间的单播传输通,即共享传输通道;
比如,单播和多播或广播业务分别建立一个QoS flow,即单播传输通道可以通过单播QoS flow表征,多播或广播业务QoS flow是多UE共享的,单播QoS flow是UE专用的,多播或广播业务的QoS flow和单播QoS flow间存在一定的绑定关系,两个QoS flow可能属于同一个或不同PDU session,两个QoS flow可能共用同一个或用不同的传输隧道(如N3隧道)。
实际应用时,网络还可以配置该单播QoS flow是否用于其他单播业务的数据的传输。
单播传输通道也可以通过别的信息表征,比如可能是指一个单独的PDU session,或单独的传输隧道等,无论哪种方式,新建立的单播传输通道与多播或广播业务的以下信息至少之一有一定的绑定关系:
QoS flow标识;
PDU session标识;
传输隧道标识。
步骤2:在接收多播或广播业务的过程中,UE按照网络侧的配置进行测量及测量结果上报;
步骤3:源基站决定将UE切换到目标基站,源基站向目标基站发送切换请求;
这里,实际应用时,源基站决定将UE切换到目标基站的原因可以是有很多种,比如所述源基站可以根据UE上报的测量结果或RRM信息决定将UE切换到目标基站,也可以网络决定做负载均衡时决定将UE切换到目标基站等。
所述切换请求携带以下信息中的至少一种:target cell ID、UE的 C-RNTI、G-RNTI、多播或广播业务相关的PDU session信息(也可以理解为标识)、QoS flow信息、传输隧道信息、多播或广播标识(表明该业务为多播或广播业务)等。
步骤4:目标基站对UE进行接入控制,若接纳则通知源基站,然后源基站向UE发切换命令;
步骤5:源基站对目标基站做序列号状态传输,数据转发;
这里,本步骤的具体实现可参照相关技术中接收单播业务的UE切换流程中源基站对目标基站做序列号状态传输,数据转发。
步骤6:UE从源基站去附着,并接入到目标基站;
这里,UE通过RACH接入到目标基站。
步骤7:目标基站转发源基站发送的数据包给UE;
步骤8:目标基站向核心网(如AMF)发起路径切换请求,以将下行数据传输路径切换到目标基站;
这里,该请求中可能携带多播或广播业务标识,或多播传输标识(QoS flow、PDU Session、或传隧道信息等),以及UE信息。
步骤9:UPF通过建立的单播传输通道发送多个end marker包给源基站,源基站将接收的多个end marker包转发给目标基站;
步骤10:目标基站接到end marker后从UPF接收多播或广播业务的数据包;
步骤11:目标基站接收AMF的路径切换确认,并通知源基站释放UE context。
其中,实际应用时,目标基站在收到end marker包或者直接从UPF接收到数据包之后,可以向核心网发送指示信息(即第三指示信息),核心网释放源基站和核心网间的单播传输通道。
从上面的描述可以看出,在本应用实施例中,是在UE开始接收多播或广播业务时便建立对应的单播传输通道,如此,能够确保时时可用。
其中,在应用实施例中,单播传输通道的建立过程可以采用如下实现方式:
首先,SMF会与统一数据管理平台(UDM)交互完成相关PDU session的登记及必要数据的获取);接着,SMF会进行PCF选择及N4会话的建立(与UPF交互);最后,SMF发N1、N2消息(Namf_Communication_N1N2MessageTransfer)给AMF,该消息里包含发给UE的信息(比如UE的QoS规则(rule)(对上行数据进行分类时使用),分配给UE的IP等),以及需要提供给基站的UPF隧道地址和隧道端点标识(TEID),实现N3隧道的打通,以及建立QoS flow(或者说实现与PDU session的绑定)。
这里,在原PDU session/N3 tunnel中建立新的QoS flow可以采用相关技术中的网络触发的PDUsession修改(network triggered PDU session modification)流程。
需要说明的是:本申请实施例对建立单播传输通道的实现过程不作限定。
从上面的描述可以看出,本申请实施例的方案,通过核心网与RAN(源基站)侧的单播传通道发送切换UE的多播或广播业务的end marker包,从而使得目标基站能够获知多播或广播业务结束标识,即获知从核心网设备接收多播或广播业务数据的时机,进而实现目标基站对多播或广播业务的连续、有序的发送,能够实现接收多播业务的UE切换到到不支持多播或广播业务的小区时,数据传输的连续性。
