- the media stream service with a TOS value of x in the media stream service of application A can be carried by a service stream with a higher QoS level in the PDU session, while the media stream service of application A has a media stream with a TOS value of y. Traffic can be carried using traffic flows with normal QoS levels in PDU sessions.
- the UE 101 can further determine whether the to-be-initiated protocol data unit session meets the continuity requirements accordingly. Since the SSC mode of a PDU session does not change during its existence, the UE 101 can bind the media stream service to be initiated to a PDU session that matches the continuity characteristics of the media stream service to be initiated the PDU session, so that the PDU session can carry the to-be-initiated media stream service. Of course, if there is no PDU session that matches the continuity characteristics of the media stream service to be initiated, the UE 101 needs to establish a PDU session that meets the continuity requirements of the media stream service to be initiated (that is, a PDU session with a specific SSC mode). PDU session).
- the UE 101 can further determine which QoS flow of which PDU session the media stream service is bound to. For example, in the case that the protocol data unit session has the continuity feature of the media stream service to be initiated, the UE 101 binds the media stream service to be initiated to the quality of service in the protocol data unit session stream on. In the case that the protocol data unit session does not have the continuity feature of the media streaming service to be initiated, the UE 101 establishes the continuity feature of the media streaming service to be initiated and includes the media streaming service to be initiated. The protocol data unit session of the quality of service flow corresponding to the service identifier of the flow service.

Description
本申请要求于2020年9月30日提交中国专利局、申请号为202011059198.2、申请名称为“控制媒体流业务传输的方法及电子设备”的中国专利申请的优先权。
本申请涉及无线通信领域,并且更具体地涉及一种控制媒体流业务传输的方法,一种控制媒体流业务传输的用户终端、数据网络中的网络节点以及核心网络中的网络节点,一种控制媒体流业务传输的系统,一种非易失性计算机可读存储介质、以及一种电子设备。
发明背景
相对于传统的通信系统,5G系统提供了许多新的特性,比如具有高比特率和低延迟的移动宽带连接,网络切片,分布式和移动边缘计算等,可以提升音视频流服务的质量和效率,并且可以提供传统2D视频以外的新型服务(例如虚拟现实和混合现实),这在技术和商业上都提供了新的机遇。
目前,5G媒体流架构(5GMSA)提供更简单和模块化的设计,使得第三方内容服务提供商、广播公司和移动网络运营商能在不同程度上进行合作。其重点是利用能力开放(capability exposure)的概念,给外部服务提供商提供与5G网络和设备功能交互的简单方式,并使用5G提供的功能来提供更好的媒体服务。
目前的第三代合作伙伴项目技术规范(Third Generation Partnership Project Technical Specification,3GPP TS)中,为媒体流的传输提供了5G媒体流系统(5GMS)。5GMS系统是5G媒体流架构的应用功能、应用服务器、终端设备和接口的集合,其支持下行媒体流服务或上行媒体流服务或两者兼有。为协议数据单元(PDU)会话设置了不同的连续性模式,以向不同的PDU会话提供不同的连续性。
然而,当前的5GMS系统对媒体流数据流的传输控制仍不够精细。比如,当前5GMS系统的网络侧设备不能区分具备相同IP地址和端口号的多个媒体流业务数据。并且在当前5GMS系统的网络侧设备和应用服务器的交互过程中,并未考虑到不同类型的媒体流业务的连续性需求,因此无法实现业务连续性需求的交互和协商。

为了使得本申请的目的、技术方案和优点更为明显,下面将参照附图详细描述根据本申请的示例实施例。在附图中,相同的参考标号自始至终表示相同的元件。应当理解:这里描述的实施例仅仅是说明性的,而不应被解释为限制本申请的范围。
在当前的5GMS系统中,网络侧设备向用户终端发送的控制媒体流业务的策略并没有考虑到媒体流的业务连续性问题。同时,网络侧向用户终端发送的、与控制媒体流的策略相关的流描述符中也仅包括以下信息:IP流的方向信息(例如,IP流是属于上行链路还是下行链路)、源IP地址、目的地IP地址、IP协议、源IP端口、目的地IP端口。媒体流业务也可以进一步扩展为广义的互联网数据业务。
因此,当前5GMS系统的网络侧设备不能区分具备相同IP地址和端口号的多个媒体流业务类型的数据。并且在当前5GMS系统的网络侧设备和用户终端的交互过程中,5GMS系统的网络侧设备并未根据多媒体业务的实际的业务连续性需求来为媒体流业务配置可对应的业务连续性。
为了克服现有技术中存在的缺陷,本申请提出了一种由用户终端执行的、控制媒体流业务传输的方法、一种由数据网络中的网络节点执行的、控制媒体流业务传输的方法、一种由核心网络中的网络节点执行的、控制媒体流业务传输的方法、一种控制媒体流业务传输的方法、以及相应的电子设备、非易失性计算机可读存储介质。
在本申请的实施例中,网络侧的设备和用户终端可以利用业务区分符来标识媒体流业务的细分类型,从而实现对媒体流业务更精细的QoS控制。在本申请的进一步实施例中,网络侧的设备和用户终端还可以使用业务流类型符对具备相同的业务区分符的媒体流业务进行进一步划分,从而实 现对媒体流业务进一步的QoS控制。
在本申请的实施例中,网络侧的设备和用户终端可以利用业务区分符来标识媒体流业务的细分类型,并使用业务流类型区分符对具备相同的业务区分符的媒体流业务进行进一步划分,从而实现对媒体流业务更精细的服务质量(QoS)控制。
在本申请的实施例中,数据网络(DN)的网络节点可以和核心网(CN)的网络节点协商媒体流业务的业务区分符,从而在数据网络和核心网络均知晓/达成一致的情况下,实现网络侧设备能够对媒体流业务更精细的服务质量(QoS)控制。
此外,在本申请的进一步的实施例中,通过从网络侧的设备接收到带有连续性特征的策略模板,用户终端可以在发起或变更媒体流的业务的时候,能够使用具备合适连续性特征的PDU会话来承载该媒体流的业务。由此,使得用户终端能够在发生移动时能够实现该媒体流业务的连续性控制。由此解决了现有技术中网络侧设备无法根据多媒体业务的实际的业务连续性需求向用户终端特定的类型的媒体流业务配置相应的业务连续性的问题。同时,数据网络(DN)的网络节点可以和核心网(CN)的网络节点协商至少一个媒体流业务的连续性特征,从而实现网络侧设备能够对业务连续性进行控制。
参照图1来描述可在其中应用本申请的实施例的通信系统的架构。该通信系统可以包括5G系统,也可以包括任何其他类型的无线通信系统,比如6G通信系统等。在下文中,以5G系统为例来描述本申请的实施例,但应当认识到,以下描述也可以适用于其他类型的无线通信系统。
图1示出了可在其中应用本申请的实施例的方法的通信系统架构。
以下简要描述图1中的各个实体。
UE 101(也即用户终端),可称为用户设备(User Equipment,UE),其可以是指向用户提供语音和/或数据连通性的设备。UE 101可以经无线接入网(Radio Access Network,RAN)与一个或多个业务服务器进行通信。UE 101可以是移动终端,如移动电话(或称为“蜂窝”电话)和具有移动终端的计算机,例如,UE 101可以是便携式、袖珍式、手持式、计算机内置的或者车载的移动装置,例如,订户单元(Subscriber Unit)、订户站(Subscriber Station),移动站(Mobile Station)、移动台(Mobile)、远程站(Remote Station)、接入点(Access Point)、远程终端(Remote Terminal)、接入终端(Access Terminal)、用户装置(User Terminal)、用户代理(User Agent)或用户设备(User Device)。
UE 101和(无线)接入网络((Radio)Access Network,(R)AN)102(以下记为(R)AN 102)通过无线空口建立无线连接。可选地,该无线空口是基于5G标准的无线空口,比如该无线空口是NR;或者,该无线空口也可以是基于5G的更下一代移动通信网络技术标准(例如,6G)的无线空口。接入网络除了无线接入网络之外,也可以包含Wifi,蓝牙,卫星等接入技术。
如图1所示,UE 101中包括多个模块或电路来实现5G通信系统中的各种功能。UE 101中包括5GMS客户端(5GMS Client)1011和5GMS感知应用(5GMS Aware Application)1012。
其中,5GMS感知应用1012是由5GMS应用程序提供商提供的、安装在UE侧的一种功能实体,其主要用于实现5GMS客户端1011以外的其它功能(例如,非可信数据的传输或者非媒体相关功能)。5GMS感知应用1012可以通过5GMS体系结构中定义的接口(例如,图1中的M8接口)与网络侧的5GMS应用提供者1023交互,或者通过应用程序接口(例如,图1中的M6和M7接口)与5GMS客户端和交互。
5GMS客户端1011是UE 101中的另一种用于控制5G媒体流传输的功能实体,其可以用于下行链路、上行链路、或这两者。5GMS客户端可以由内部或外部媒体应用程序控制,例如应用程序,它实现应用程序或内容服务提供商特定的逻辑,并允许建立媒体会话。5GMS客户端1011可以包 括5G媒体流处理装置10112和5G媒体会话处理装置10111。
5G媒体会话处理装置10111可以与5GMS AF 1021通信,以便建立、控制和支持媒体会话的传送。媒体会话处理装置10111可以提供(expose)可由5GMS感知应用1012和媒体流处理装置10112使用的应用程序接口M6。媒体会话处理装置10111主要功能包括:流媒体通信的会话级别的控制、性能指标的收集和上报、用量上报、提供网络辅助功能、配置与不同的UE媒体功能交互的媒体控制接口、配置用于媒体会话管理的媒体控制接口、以及配置用于性能指标收集和上报的控制接口等。
5G媒体流处理装置10112可以传输媒体流内容,并可向5GMS感知应用1012提供用于媒体播放的应用程序接口M7,以及向媒体会话处理装置10111提供用于媒体流会话控制的应用程序接口M7。也即应用程序接口M7既可以实现与5GMS感知应用1012的交互,又可以实现与媒体会话处理装置10111的交互。
5GMS系统的网络侧可以包括图1中的数据网络(Data Network,DN)102和核心网(Core Network,CN)103。CN 103是可以用于5G通信的核心网。CN 103包括NEF(用于网络开放功能的网络节点)1031和PCF(用于策略与计费规则功能的网络节点)1032。本领域技术人员应当理解,CN 103还可以支持更后时代的通信网络,例如6G,DN 102是负责为终端提供数据服务的网络,如DN 102中的一些网络节点是为UE 101提供上网功能的业务服务器,DN 102中的另一些网络节点为UE 101提供短信功能的业务服务器等等。DN 102中主要包括5GMS AF(用于控制媒体流业务功能的5G网络节点)1021、5GMS AS(5G流媒体专有的应用服务器)1022、和5G应用提供者1023。
5GMS AF 1021是DN 102中专用于控制媒体流功能的网络节点。如图1所述,对于5G媒体流业务来说,5GMS AF 1021可以通过接口M5向媒体会话处理装置10111提供媒体流会话配置信息以实现媒体流会话处理和控制,并辅助媒体流内容的传输。比如,5GMS AF 1021可以提供服务器地址、下发流量上报策略、性能指标上报策略、网络辅助信息相关的配置等。5GMS AF 1021可以通过接口M5来向媒体会话处置装置10111来下发控制媒体流业务功能的策略模板等信息,来控制媒体流功能的实现。5GMS AS 1022可以通过接口M4来向媒体流处理装置10112发送或从媒体流处理装置10112接收媒体流业务的相关数据。5GMS AF 1021可以分别通过接口N5和N33来与CN 103的NEF(网络开放功能)1031和PCF(策略与计费规则功能)1032直接相连,来支持网络能力开放、策略与计费规则相关的功能。
NEF 1031是5G核心网中用于提供网络能力开放相关的框架、鉴权和接口,在5G系统网络功能和其他网络功能之间传递信息的网络节点。5GMS AF 1021通过接口N33将应用的部署位置、分流规则、路由规则等信息发送给NEF,这些信息经过策略控制功能(Policy Control Function,PCF)等网络功能最终发送给SMF(用于会话管理功能的网络节点,未示出)。SMF利用这些信息选择数据网络接入标示符(DN Access Identifier,DNAI)和用户面功能(User Plane Function,UPF)、设置分流规则和路由规则等。
PCF 1032通过接口N5与5GMS AF1021交互,其主要功能是执行5G核心网中的策略控制,类似于LTE中的策略与计费规则功能(policy and charging rules function,PCRF)网络节点。PCF 1032主要负责策略授权、服务质量以及计费规则的生成,并将相应规则通过SMF网元下发至UPF(用户面功能)网络节点,完成相应策略及规则的安装。NEF 1031、PCF 1032、或二者的结合、或二者与其他任意一个网络节点的结合在本文中又称为核心网络中的网络节点。
图2A示出了可在其中应用本申请的实施例的由用户终端执行的、控制媒体流业务传输的方法200的流程图。图2B示出了可在其中应用本申请的实施例的由用户终端执行的、控制媒体流业务传输的方法200的示意图。图2A和图2B所描述的方法可以由图1中的UE 101来执行。以下以 UE 101来执行方法200为例来进行说明。
在步骤S201中,UE 101从数据网络中的网络节点,接收用于控制所述媒体流业务传输的策略模板信息以及所述策略模板信息对应的业务区分符,所述业务区分符用于区分所述媒体流业务中不同业务类型的媒体流业务。
可选地,如图2B所示,数据网络中的网络节点可以是图1中的5GMS AF 1011。UE 101中用于接收策略模板信息的模块/电路为5G媒体会话处理装置10111。当然,本领域技术人员还可以理解,UE 101也可以使用其他内置模块或外置模块来接收策略模板信息。
策略模板(Policy Template)信息包括由核心网络中的网络节点(NEF 1031、PCF 1032、或二者的结合)与5GMS AF 1011进行协商的一组参数(又可被称为资产),这些参数定义了媒体流业务的服务质量(QOS)和相关计费策略。5GMS AF 1011可以通过创建策略模板的数据模型来在与核心网络中的网络节点的协商的过程中创建、获取、更新和删除相关的策略模板资源(Policy Template Resource)。由此策略模板信息还可被称为策略模板、策略模板资源、策略模板资源信息、策略模板数据等。本申请中以策略模板信息的命名方式来举例说明,但对策略模板信息的名称不加以限定。
特别的,在接收到该策略模板后,UE 101可以将该策略模板作为UE 101的本地配置信息。当UE 101不支持路由选择策略(user equipment routing selection policy,URSP)、或未被提供URSP、或URSP中没有包含对业务连续性的要求时,以该策略模板中的信息来将该媒体流业务绑定到特定的PDU会话,或决定是否发起新的PDU会话。URSP定义了业务级别的配置和管理策略,由核心网中的网络节点生成并通过网络控制面发送给用户终端。
通常情况下,在UE 101支持且被提供了URSP时,UE 101可以根据URSP将媒体流业务绑定到特定的PDU会话,或决定是否发起新的PDU会话。而在很多情况下,UE 101也可能不支持或未被提供URSP。此时,UE 101可以根据本地配置来把该媒体流业务绑定到特定的PDU会话,或决定是否发起新的PDU会话。
可选地,所述媒体流业务包括至少一种业务类型的媒体流业务。例如,一个应用程序可能提供有很多特性的不同流量,每一种特性的流量可以对应于一种业务类型。例如,对于即时通软件,其可以包括用于语音通话的媒体流业务、用于文字传输的媒体流业务等等。或者,对于即时通软件,其还可以包括需要使用高服务质量传输的媒体流业务、普通服务质量传输的媒体流业务、对业务连续性要求高的媒体流业务、对业务连续没有要求的媒体流业务。媒体流业务也可以进一步扩展为广义的互联网数据业务。
可选地,可以使用业务区分符(Service Differentiator)来指示媒体流业务的业务类型和匹配特征。可选地,媒体流的业务类型与业务区分符一一对应。业务区分符是采用数字、字符和符号中的至少一种来对业务类型进行描述的信息。该业务区分符还可称为:业务差分符、业务标识、业务类型等其它名称,本申请中以业务区分符的命名方式来举例说明,但对业务区分符的名称不加以限定。该业务区分符用于标识应用程序中的流量的业务类型。也即,业务区分符用于标识应用程序的数据包的类别。业务区分符可以由5GMS AF 1021或核心网络中的网络节点(NEF 1031、PCF 1032、或二者的结合)协商来确定。在不同的应用程序之间,业务区分符通常是不同的。当然本领域技术人员也可以理解,不同的应用程序也可以具有相同的业务区分符。
可选地,上述的业务区分符信息包括以下各项中的至少一项:针对第四版本的网络协议(IPv4)的服务类型信息(TOS)、针对第六版本的网络协议(IPv6)的通信分类信息(Traffic class)、针对第六版本的网络协议(IPv6)的流标识信息、数据包过滤方向信息。
TOS是采用IPv4协议的IP报头中一个字段,其定义了该报文的服务等级。可选地,TOS还包括DSCP(differentiated services code point,差分服务代码点),其为该报文定义了:网络控制、网间控制、关键、极速、闪速、快速、优先、普通等不同的优先级。不同DSCP值通常对应不同类型的业务,例如闪速通常对应于语音的媒体流数据的传输、快速通常对应于视频的媒体流数据的传输。IPv6的IP地址的长度为128位,而IPv4的IP地址的长度为32位,因此针对IPv6,可以使用更多的字段来表征媒体流业务的类型。通信分类信息(Traffic class)是采用IPv6协议的IP报头中一个字段,用来标识对应IPv6的通信流类别,或者说是优先级别,其功能类似于IPv4中的ToS(服务类型)字段。流标识信息(Flow Label)是采用IPv6协议的IP报头中另一个字段。其可用来标记报文的数据流类型,以便在网络层区分不同的报文,以便于针对特定的业务流进行QoS(质量服务)处理。数据包过滤方向信息(Packet Filter direction)指示该数据包属于上行链路还是下行链路。由此,可以针对数据包的传输方向设置不同的连续性服务。
可选地,所述接收用于控制所述媒体流业务传输的策略模板信息以及所述策略模板信息对应的业务区分符还包括从数据网络中的网络节点,接收动态策略资源。其中,所述动态策略资源包括:用于标识策略模板信息的策略模板标识符、和包括所述策略模板信息对应的业务区分符的流描述符。
例如,UE 101可以从5GMS AF 1021接收如下表所示的改进的动态策略资源(Dynamic Policy resource),该改进的动态策略资源中的流描述符中包括业务区分符。
表1-改进的动态策略资源
如上所示,流描述符不仅可以包含业务区分符,还可以包括IP五元组。IP五元组包括源IP地址、源端口、目的IP地址、目的端口和传输层协议。例如,业务区分符还可以作为流描述符的子集而被添加至动态策略资源限制中。由此,策略模板信息可以通过动态策略资源与业务区分符相关联,进而指示至少一种业务类型的媒体流业务的控制策略。
或者,动态策略资源中还可以以键值对的方式存储业务区分符和策略模板标识符以建立业务区分符和策略模板标识符的关联关系,并通过该关联关系进一步确定业务区分符和媒体流业务的连续性特征的关联性。例如,以业务区分符的流描述符为键,以策略模板标识符为值构建如下键值对:<业务区分符SD-1对应的流描述符,策略模板标识符policyTemplateId-1>,<业务区分符SD-2对应的流描述符,策略模板标识符policyTemplateId-2>,<业务区分符SD-3对应的流描述符,策略模板标识符policyTemplateId-3>等等。例如,动态策略资源还可以以策略模板标识符为键,以业务区分符的流描述符为值构建键值对。例如,动态策略资源还可以以策略模板标识符为键,以业务区分符为值构建键值对。
本申请不对将业务区分符和策略模板标识符相关联的方式进行进一步的限定。可选地,多个业 务区分符可以对应一个策略模板标识符,多个策略模板标识符也可以对应一个业务区分符,多个业务区分符也可以对应多个策略模板标识符。本申请对此不进行限制。
可选地,所述策略模板信息也可以包括业务区分符。例如,业务区分符中的针对第四版本的网络协议(IPv4)的服务类型信息(TOS)、针对第六版本的网络协议(IPv6)的通信分类信息(Traffic class)、针对第六版本的网络协议(IPv6)的流标识信息、数据包过滤方向信息中的任意一项可以被添加至策略模板信息中,进而使得业务区分符与策略模板信息相关联。
可选地,所述策略模板信息还可以包括多个不同的业务区分符,不同的策略模板也可以包括相同的业务区分符。本申请对此不进行限制。
为了实现对对业务连续性进行控制,本申请还提供以下改进的策略模板信息的示例。在改进的策略模板信息中包括媒体流业务的连续性特征。示意性地,表2给出改进的策略模板信息的一个示例,其示例性地示出了策略模板的一部分参数。在本申请的实施例中,使用会话和业务连续性(SSC)模式来表征媒体流业务的连续性特征。本领域技术人员应当理解还可以使用其他参数来表征媒体流的连续性特征。
表2-策略模板信息
在表2中,SSC模式以策略模板资源的资产的形式,随着策略模板信息从5GMS AF1021发送至UE 101。
具体地,SSC模式与协议数据单元(PDU)会话关联,并在PDU会话存续期间保持不变。5G网络定义了如下三种SSC模式:
- SSC模式1:网络不会改变该终端访问该业务的PDU会话锚点,并保障UE访问该业务时IP地址保持不变。
- SSC模式2:网络可能会为该UE访问该业务建立新的PDU会话锚点,并在新的PDU会 话锚点建立之前,网络会释放该UE访问该业务的旧的PDU会话锚点。
- SSC模式3:网络会在新的PDU会话锚点建立之后再释放之前的PDU会话锚点,从而可以保证业务的连续性。
可选地,所述会话和业务连续性模式还可以以策略模板资源中的应用会话上下文中参数的形式,随着策略模板信息从数据网络中的网络节点发送至所述用户终端。
示意性地,表3给出策略模板信息的另一个示例,其示例性地示出了策略模板的一部分参数。在表3中,业务区分符以策略模板资源的资产的形式,随着策略模板信息从5GMS AF1021发送至UE 101。SSC模式以策略模板资源中的应用会话上下文中参数的形式,随着策略模板信息从5GMS AF1021发送至UE 101。
表3-策略模板信息
通过动态策略资源与业务区分符相关联,策略模板信息可以指示至少一种媒体流业务类型的媒体流业务的连续性特征。例如,假设某条策略模板信息具有策略模板标识符(policyTemplateId):policyTemplateId-1。在动态策略资源中,policyTemplateId-1对应的流描述符中包括的业务区分符为SD-1。在该策略模板信息中包括媒体流业务的连续性特征CF1。由于业务区分符SD-1和媒体流业务的连续性特征CF1通过策略模板标识符policyTemplateId-1进行了关联,因此,UE 101可以推断出业务区分符SD-1和媒体流业务的连续性特征CF1具备关联性。也即,对应于包含该业务区分符SD-1的流描述符对应的媒体流业务应当具备媒体流业务的连续性特征CF1。
例如,假设某条策略模板信息具有策略模板标识符(policyTemplateId):policyTemplateId-1。在该策略模板信息中包括业务区分符SD-1和媒体流业务的连续性特征CF1。由于业务区分符SD-1和媒体流业务的连续性特征CF1均位于具有策略模板标识符policyTemplateId-1的策略模板信息中,因此,UE 101可以推断出业务区分符SD-1和媒体流业务的连续性特征CF1具备关联性。也即,对 应于业务区分符SD-1的媒体流业务应当具备媒体流业务的连续性特征CF1。
或者,策略模板信息中还可以以键值对的方式存储业务区分符和媒体流业务的连续性特征以建立业务区分符和媒体流业务的连续性特征的关联关系。例如,以业务区分符为键,以媒体流业务的连续性特征为值构建如下键值对:<业务区分符SD-1,媒体流业务的连续性特征CF1>,<业务区分符SD-2,媒体流业务的连续性特征CF2>,<业务区分符SD-3,媒体流业务的连续性特征CF1>等等。本申请不对将业务区分符和媒体流业务的连续性特征相关联的方式进行进一步的限定。
在步骤S202中,UE 101基于所述策略模板信息和所述业务区分符,确定待发起的媒体流业务的业务区分符。
例如,假设业务区分符为TOS值。假设UE 101希望利用当前网络来承载即时通讯软件的应用A的媒体流业务。在接收到所述策略模板信息和所述业务区分符后,UE将能够判断应用A中的用于语音通话的媒体流业务对应的TOS值、以及应用A中的用于文字传输的媒体流业务对应的TOS值,以便于将不同业务区分符对应的媒体流业务使用不同的QoS流来承载。例如,可以将用于语音通话的媒体流业务使用与“闪速”相对应的QoS流来承载,并使用与“普通”相对应的QoS流来承载用于文字传输的媒体流业务。
在步骤S203中,UE 101确定是否存在能够承载待发起的媒体流业务的协议数据单元会话,其中,所述协议数据单元会话包括与所述待发起的媒体流业务的业务区分符对应的服务质量流(以下称为QoS流)。
服务质量包括资源类型(GBR、Delay critical GBR、或Non-GBR)、优先级水平、包时延预算(Packet Error Rate,PER)等。在5GS内,一个PDU会话可以包括一个或多个QoS流。QoS流由网络侧控制,其既可以预先配置,也可以通过PDU会话建立流程或PDU会话修改流程建立。
假设UE 101当前仅建立了一个PDU会话,其上的QoS流仅能够对应于与“普通”相对应TOS值。此时,UE 101确定用于文字传输的媒体流业务可以由该PDU会话来承载,并确定用于语音通话的媒体流业务不能由该PDU会话来承载。
假设UE 101当前仅存在一个PDU会话,其上的第一QoS流仅能够对应于与“普通”相对应TOS值,和第二QoS流仅能够对应于与“闪速”相对应TOS值。此时,UE 101确定用于文字传输的媒体流业务和用于语音通话的媒体流业务都能由该PDU会话来承载。
此外,如果策略模板信息包括所述媒体流业务的连续性特征,则UE 101还可以据此来确定是否存在能够承载待发起的媒体流业务的协议数据单元会话。例如,UE 101可以根据策略模板信息中的媒体流业务的连续性特征,来确定能够承载待发起的媒体流业务的协议数据单元会话是否具备所述待发起的媒体流业务的连续性特征。
例如,假设策略模板信息指示应用A的媒体流业务均需要使用具备SSC模式1的PDU会话来进行承载。那么UE 101在发起应用A的媒体流业务时,可以确定应用A的媒体流业务要求的连续性特征为SSC模式1。
例如,假设策略模板信息和流描述符共同指示应用A的媒体流业务中的TOS值为x的数据包需要使用具备SSC模式1的PDU会话来进行承载,而应用A的媒体流业务中的TOS值为x的数据包需要使用具备SSC模式2的PDU会话来进行承载。那么UE 101在发起应用A的TOS值为x的媒体流业务时,可以确定应用A的TOS值为x的媒体流业务的连续性特征为SSC模式1。那么UE 101在发起应用A的TOS值为y的媒体流业务时,可以确定应用A的TOS值为y的媒体流业务的连续性特征为SSC模式2。
在步骤S204中,在存在所述协议数据单元会话的情况下,将所述待发起的媒体流业务绑定到 所述协议数据单元会话中的服务质量流上;在不存在所述协议数据单元会话的情况下,建立包括与所述待发起的媒体流业务的业务区分符对应的服务质量流的协议数据单元会话。
由此,UE 101可以基于业务区分符,将某一特定业务类型的媒体流业务绑定到PDU会话中与业务区分符相对应的服务质量(QoS)流上。
例如,应用A的媒体流业务中用于支付的媒体流业务可以使用PDU会话中具有较高QoS级别的业务流来承载,而应用A的媒体流业务中用于流量上报的媒体流业务可以使用PDU会话中具有普通QoS级别的业务流来承载。或者,应用A的媒体流业务中使用TOS值为x的媒体流业务可以使用PDU会话中具有较高QoS级别的业务流来承载,而应用A的媒体流业务中具有TOS值为y的媒体流业务可以使用PDU会话中具有普通QoS级别的业务流来承载。
此外,如果策略模板信息包括所述媒体流业务的连续性特征,并且UE 101可以据此进一步确定待发起协议数据单元会话是否符合连续性要求。由于一个PDU会话的SSC模式在其存续期间不变,因此在存在与待发起的媒体流业务的连续性特征相匹配的PDU会话的情况下,UE 101可以将待发起的媒体流业务绑定到该PDU会话,从而使得该PDU会话能够承载该待发起的媒体流业务。当然,如果不存在待发起的媒体流业务的连续性特征相匹配的PDU会话的情况下,UE 101需要建立符合待发起的媒体流业务的连续性要求的PDU会话(也即具备特定SSC模式的PDU会话)。
结合所述媒体流业务的连续性特征和业务区分符,UE 101可以进一步确定将媒体流业务绑定在哪个PDU会话的哪个QoS流上。例如,在所述协议数据单元会话具备所述待发起的媒体流业务的连续性特征的情况下,UE 101将所述待发起的媒体流业务绑定到所述协议数据单元会话中的服务质量流上。在所述协议数据单元会话不具备所述待发起的媒体流业务的连续性特征的情况下,UE 101建立具备所述待发起的媒体流业务的连续性特征且包括与所述待发起的媒体流业务的业务区分符对应的服务质量流的协议数据单元会话。
本申请的实施例实现特定的业务类型的媒体流业务能够通过同一个PDU会话的不同的QoS流来传输,或者实现特定的业务流能够通过不同的PDU会话来传输,这些不同的PDU会话可以是业务连续性、网络切片、DNN三个参数中至少有一个参数不相同。
通过从5GMS AF 1021接收到带有SSC模式的策略模板,UE 101可以在发起或变更媒体流的业务的时候,能够使用具备合适SSC模式的PDU会话来承载该媒体流的业务。由此,使得UE 101能够在发生移动之时能够实现对该媒体流业务的连续性控制。由此解决了现有技术中数据网络无法向用户终端配置媒体流业务对应的业务连续性的问题。
可选地,在用户终端101支持URSP的情况下,用户终端还可以从核心网络中的网络节点,接收至少一个业务区分符,所述业务区分符用于区分所述媒体流业务中不同业务类型的媒体流业务。然后用户终端基于所述至少一个业务区分符,确定待发起的媒体流业务中的一种业务类型的媒体流业务对应的业务区分符,并基于所述业务区分符,将所述业务类型的媒体流业务绑定到所述PDU会话中与所述业务区分符相对应的服务质量(QoS)流。
例如,该业务区分符可以通过URSP从PCF 1032中下发至用户终端101。可以经过5GMS AF1021和NEF/PCF协商来确定业务区分符。在PCF生成的URSP包括5GMS AF 1021和NEF/PCF协商确定的业务区分符。
可选地,在用户终端支持URSP的情况下,用户终端还可以从核心网络中的网络节点,接收所述媒体流业务的连续性特征;基于所述连续性特征,确定待发起的媒体流业务的连续性特征;基于所述连续性特征,将所述媒体流业务绑定到具有该连续性特征的所述PDU会话上。
例如,在业务连续性特征为SSC模式时,SSC模式也可以通过URSP从PCF 1032中下发至用 户终端101。可以经过5GMS AF 1021和NEF/PCF协商来确定SSC模式。在PCF生成的URSP包括5GMS AF 1021和NEF/PCF协商确定的SSC模式。
当然,在用户终端101支持URSP的情况下,用户终端还可以从核心网络中的网络节点,接收业务区分符和SSC模式这两者。
如果从5GMS AF 1021既接收到带有SSC模式的策略模板又接收到与该策略模板相对应的业务区分符,UE 101能够使用具备合适SSC模式的PDU会话来承载某一特定业务类型的媒体流业务。由此,使得UE 101能够在发生移动之时能够实现对某一类型的媒体流业务的连续性控制。由此解决了现有技术中数据网络无法向用户终端配置某一类型媒体流业务对应的业务连续性的问题。

在步骤S3011中,5GMS AF 1021向核心网络中的网络节点(例如,NEF 1031或PCF 1032,或两者的结合)发送所述媒体流业务的业务流类型符,所述业务流类型符用于描述所述媒体流业务中不同功能的媒体流业务。
所述核心网络中的网络节点包括用于控制网络开放功能的网络节点(例如,NEF 1031)或用于控制网络策略和计费规则功能的网络节点(例如,PCF 1032)或两者的结合。
例如,上述业务流类型符用于描述媒体流业务中不同功能的媒体流业务。或者,所述业务流类型符也可以指示媒体流业务类型的特征。比如,业务流类型符可以指示某个媒体流业务是以下各项中的某一项:媒体面数据、网络辅助信息、用量上报信息等。由此,实现不同功能的媒体流的业务流可以通过业务流类型符进行区分。由于不同业务流类型的媒体流业务可以使用具备不同QoS(服务质量)业务流来承载,因此通过5G核心网网络节点可以根据业务流类型符来向5GMS AF 1021指示不同的媒体流业务类型需要具备的业务区分符。从而实现特定的业务类型的业务流能够通过设置经过网络协商的业务区分符,来实现同一个PDU会话的不同的QoS流来传输;或者实现特定的业务流能够通过具备不同PDU会话来传输。
可选地,5GMS AF 1021还可以向核心网络(例如,CN 103)中的网络节点(例如NEF 1031、PCF 1032、或这两者)发送关于媒体流业务相关的其它的业务需求和相关信息,来辅助核心网络CN 103中的网络节点能够根据5GMS AF1021所提出的需求,为该媒体流业务设定更准确的、更符合用户与核心网签订的网络协议的网络策略(也即,5GMS AF 1021随后向UE 101下发的策略模板)。例如,5GMS AF 1021还可以向核心网络中的网络节点发送5GMS AF 1021的标识信息、5GMS应用提供者1023的标识信息、QoS(服务质量)需求信息、网络切片需求信息等等。本申请不对5GMS AF 1021向核心网络中的网络节点发送的信息进行限制,只要其能帮助核心网与5GMS AF进行业务传输的策略的协商即可。
可选地,5GMS AF 1021还可以向核心网络中的网络节点(例如,NEF 1031或PCF 1032,或两者的结合)发送至少一个媒体流业务的连续性需求。可选地,所述至少一个媒体流业务对应于至少一种媒体流的业务类型。因此,5GMS AF 1021向核心网络中的网络节点(例如,NEF 1031或PCF 1032,或两者的结合)发送至少一种媒体流的业务类型的连续性需求。
可选地,至少一个媒体流业务的连续性需求可以采用多种方式来进行描述。比如,至少一个媒体流业务的连续性需求可以采用文本描述:“本业务需要保障UE的IP地址不变的业务连续性”、“本业务执行过程中UE的IP地址可以改变但是业务不中断”等。至少一个媒体流业务的连续性需求还可以直接以SSC模式的指代符(例如,如果采用SSC模式1,即可直接使用指代符“1”)来进行描述,其指示该媒体流业务需要某种SSC模式。本申请不对连续性需求的形式进行限制。
基于此,核心网络中的网络节点(例如NEF、PCF、或这两者)能够根据5GMS AF1021所提出的需求,为该媒体流业务设定业务连续性特征(例如SSC模式)。可选地,核心网络中的网络节点还可以为该媒体流业务中的不同的媒体流业务类型确定对应的不同的业务连续性特征(例如SSC模式)。
可选地,某个特定的媒体流业务(例如应用A的媒体流业务)可能对应于多种业务流类型(例如,不同功能的媒体流业务)。例如对于视频媒体流会话而言,其包括上行的视频媒体流业务的数据传输、下行视频媒体流的数据传输、上行的视频媒体流业务的控制数据传输、下行视频媒体流的控制数据传输等等。不同业务流类型也可以对应不同的业务连续性特征。
在步骤S3012中,从所述核心网络中的网络节点接收所述媒体流业务对应的业务区分符,其中,所述业务区分符用于区分所述媒体流业务中不同业务类型的媒体流业务,并且所述业务区分符与所述业务流类型符相对应。
可选地,核心网络中的网络节点将基于其的网络策略或本地配置信息来为该业务流类型符确定其对应的业务区分符。从而,可以保证业务区分符在业务服务器端(例如,5GMS AF1021)的配置和在CN 103中对用户面以及URSP中的配置一致。
可选地,在5GMS AF 1021还可以向核心网络中的网络节点发送至少一个媒体流业务的连续性需求,5GMS AF 1021还可以从所述核心网络中的网络节点接收所述业务区分符(和/或业务流类型符)所对应的媒体流业务类型的连续性特征。或者,核心网络中的网络节点将基于本地配置和网络策略确定与所述业务流类型符对应的业务区分符。然后向5GMS AF 1021返回业务区分符以及业务区分符相对应的连续性特征。
在步骤S3013中,5GMS AF 1021确定与所述业务区分符相对应的、用于控制所述媒体流业务传输的策略模板信息。
5GMS AF1021可以根据从核心网络中的网络节点接收到的信息,来确定用于控制所述媒体流业务传输的策略模板信息。
例如,假设核心网络中的网络节点向5GMS AF1021发送了如下表4的业务区分符、SSC模式和业务流类型符,同一行的信息表示一组关联关系。

表5和表6中的“……”表示未示出的资产和其对应的值,本申请不对策略模板信息中的其他字段的内容和形式进行限制。
在步骤S3014中,5GMS AF1021向用户终端发送所述策略模板信息以及所述业务区分符。
通过方法3010,5GMS AF 1021可以和核心网的网络节点通过业务流类型符来协商业务区分符,从而实现对媒体流业务更精细的QoS控制。此外,通过方法3010,5GMS AF 1021可以和核心网的网络节点协商至少一个媒体流业务的连续性特征,从而实现网络侧能够根据业务的需求在传输媒体流业务时能够对业务连续性进行控制。
特别的,该策略模板可以作为UE的本地配置信息,当UE不支持URSP规则时,以该策略模板中的信息为依据来把该媒体流业务绑定到特定的PDU会话,或决定是否发起新的PDU会话。由此解决了现有技术中网络侧设备无法根据业务提供方的业务连续性需求来确定业务的业务连续性问题,以及数据网络中的设备无法为UE配置具有特定业务连续性的策略模板的问题。
由此,本申请的实施例实现了不同功能的媒体流的业务流可以通过业务区分符进行区分。由于不同业务流类型的媒体流业务可以使用具备不同QoS(服务质量)业务流来承载,因此5G核心网网络节点可以向5GMS AF 1021指示不同的业务流类型符对应的媒体流业务类型需要具备的业务区分符。从而实现特定的业务类型的业务流能够通过设置经过网络协商的业务区分符,来实现同一个PDU会话的不同的QoS流来传输;或者实现特定的业务流能够通过具备不同PDU会话来传输。
如图3C和图3D所示,方法3020包括步骤S3021-S3024。
在步骤S3021中,5GMS AF 1021向核心网络中的网络节点发送所述媒体流业务的待确认的业务区分符,其中,所述业务区分符用于区分所述媒体流业务中不同业务类型的媒体流业务。
5GMS AF 1021可以在本地查找该媒体流业务所对应的至少一个媒体流的业务类型,并向核心网络中的网络节点(例如,NEF 1031,或PCF 1032,或两者的结合)发送该媒体流业务所对应的至少一个媒体流业务的业务区分符。核心网络中的网络节点(例如,NEF 1031,或PCF 1032,或两者的结合)也能根据与该媒体流业务相关的网络协议或者约定,来确定该媒体流业务所对应的至少一个媒体流的业务类型的业务区分符。
上述的业务区分符信息包括以下各项中的至少一项:针对第四版本的网络协议(IPv4)的服务 类型信息(TOS)、针对第六版本的网络协议(IPv6)的通信分类信息(Traffic class)、针对第六版本的网络协议(IPv6)的流标识信息、数据包过滤方向信息。
本文中所述的不同的业务区分符是指业务区分符中所包括的针对第四版本的网络协议(IPv4)的服务类型信息(TOS)、或者针对第六版本的网络协议(IPv6)的通信分类信息(Traffic class)、或者针对第六版本的网络协议(IPv6)的流标识信息、或者数据包过滤方向信息中的任意一项不同。本领域技术人员应当理解,业务区分符中还可能包括其他各种字段,其也可能导致业务区分符的不同,本申请对此不进行限定。
可选地,5GMS AF 1021还可以向核心网络(例如,CN 103)中的网络节点(例如NEF 1031、PCF 1032、或这两者)发送关于媒体流业务相关的其它的业务需求和相关信息,来辅助核心网络CN 103中的网络节点能够根据5GMS AF1021所提出的需求,为该媒体流业务设定更准确的、更符合用户与核心网签订的网络协议的网络策略(也即,5GMS AF 1021随后向UE 101下发的策略模板)。例如,5GMS AF 1021还可以向核心网络中的网络节点发送5GMS AF 1021的标识信息、5GMS应用提供者1023的标识信息、QoS(服务质量)需求信息、网络切片需求信息等等。本申请不对5GMS AF 1021向核心网络中的网络节点发送的信息进行限制,只要其能帮助核心网与5GMS AF进行业务传输的策略的协商即可。
在步骤S3022中,5GMS AF 1021从所述核心网络中的网络节点接收所述媒体流业务的确认后的业务区分符。
核心网络CN 103中的网络节点将核查业务区分符是否符合其的网络策略或本地配置信息。如果符合,核心网络中的网络节点即可确认所述至少一个媒体流业务类型对应的业务区分符,并将其返回给5GMS AF 1021。如果不符合,核心网络中的网络节点可以基于网络策略或本地配置信息来修改或更新5GMS AF 1021发送的业务区分符,并将其返回给5GMS AF 1021。
在步骤S3023中,5GMS AF 1021确定与所述确认后的业务区分符相对应的、用于控制所述媒体流业务传输的策略模板信息。在步骤S3024中,5GMS AF 1021向用户终端发送所述策略模板信息以及所述业务区分符。
由此,方法3020也实现了不同功能和类型的媒体流的业务流可以通过业务区分符进行区分。由于不同业务区分符的媒体流业务可以使用具备不同QoS(服务质量)业务流来承载,因此通过5G核心网网络节点可以向5GMS AF 1021指示不同的媒体流业务类型需要具备的不同的业务区分符。从而实现特定的业务类型的业务流能够通过设置经过网络协商的业务区分符,来实现同一个PDU会话的不同的QoS流来传输;或者实现特定的业务流能够通过具备不同PDU会话来传输。
此外,本申请的实施例还提供了一种由数据网络中的网络节点执行的、控制媒体流业务传输的方法。该方法包括:向核心网络中的网络节点发送至少一个媒体流业务的连续性需求;从所述核心网络中的网络节点接收所述媒体流业务的连续性特征;确定用于控制所述媒体流业务传输的策略模板信息,所述策略模板信息包括所述媒体流业务的连续性特征;向用户终端发送用于控制所述媒体流业务传输的策略模板信息。
图4A示出了由数据网络中的网络节点执行的、控制媒体流业务传输的方法4010的流程图。图4B示出了由数据网络中的网络节点执行的、控制媒体流业务传输的方法4020的流程图。
图4A和图4B所描述的方法可以由图1中的NEF 1031、PCF 1032或二者的结合来执行。NEF 1031、PCF 1032、或二者的结合又可以称为核心网络中的网络节点。
如图4A所示,方法4010包括步骤S4011至S4013。
在步骤S4011中,核心网络CN 103中的网络节点从数据网络中的网络节点接收所述媒体流业 务的业务流类型符,所述业务流类型符用于描述所述媒体流业务中不同功能的媒体流业务。
所述业务流类型符指示所述至少一个媒体流业务类型的特征或媒体流业务的功能特征。比如,业务流类型符可以指示某个媒体流业务是以下各项中的某一项:媒体面数据、网络辅助信息、用量上报信息等。
可选地,从数据网络中的网络节点接收至少一个媒体流业务的连续性需求。可选的,所述至少一个媒体流业务也可以对应于至少一种媒体流的业务类型。核心网络CN 103中的网络节点可以根据5GMS AF1021所提出的与媒体流业务相关的业务连续性需求,为媒体流业务设定相应的业务连续性特征(例如SSC模式),并根据所设定的业务连续性特征为该媒体流业务设定相应的费率。
在步骤S4012中,核心网络中的网络节点基于所述媒体流业务的业务流类型符、以及所述核心网络中的网络节点的网络策略或本地配置信息,确定所述媒体流业务的业务区分符,所述业务区分符用于区分所述媒体流业务中不同业务类型的媒体流业务。

核心网络CN 103中的网络节点(例如,NEF 1031、或PCF 1032,或二者的结合)也能根据与用户签订的与该媒体流业务相关的网络协议,来确定该媒体流业务所对应的业务区分符。
上述的业务区分符信息包括以下各项中的至少一项:针对第四版本的网络协议(IPv4)的服务类型信息(TOS)、针对第六版本的网络协议(IPv6)的通信分类信息(Traffic class)、针对第六版本的网络协议(IPv6)的流标识信息、数据包过滤方向信息。
本文中所述的不同的业务区分符是指业务区分符中所包括的针对第四版本的网络协议(IPv4)的服务类型信息(TOS)、针对第六版本的网络协议(IPv6)的通信分类信息(Traffic class)、针对第六版本的网络协议(IPv6)的流标识信息、数据包过滤方向信息中的任意一项不同。本领域技术人员应当理解,业务区分符中还可能包括其他各种字段,其也可能导致业务区分符的不同,本申请对此不进行限定。
核心网络中的网络节点将基于其的网络策略或本地配置信息来为该媒体流业务类型确定其对应的至少一个业务区分符。从而,可以保证业务区分符在业务服务器端(例如,5GMS AF1021)的配置,在网络侧发送给UE的URSP规则,以及在核心网络CN 103对用户面的配置保持一致。
5G核心网网络节点可以根据业务流类型符为该业务类型的数据流分配特定的业务区分符,来向5GMS AF 1021指示不同业务流类型符对应的业务区分符。从而实现业务服务器为特定业务类型的业务流设置特定的业务区分符,实现特定的业务类型的业务流可以通过同一个PDU会话的不同的QoS流来传输,或者实现特定的业务类型的业务流能够通过不同的PDU会话来传输,进行精细化的QoS保障。
可选地,在5GMS AF 1021发送了业务连续性需求的情况下,核心网络CN 103中的网络节点将查找其与用户签订的协议,如果发现该用户未对特定连续性的业务进行付费,核心网络CN103将拒绝5GMS AF 1021的需求,而仅为该媒体流的业务设定基本的业务连续性。
核心网络中的网络节点能够基于所述媒体流业务的业务流类型符和连续性需求,确定所述媒体流业务(或者至少对应于一种媒体流业务类型)的连续性特征。也即,核心网络中的网络节点能够通过将所述业务区分符与所述连续性特征相关联来指示至少一种媒体流业务类型的连续性特征。
例如,核心网络中的网络节点可以根据5GMS AF1021发送的至少一个媒体流业务的连续性需求和业务流类型符,并根据其本地的网络策略或配置信息,设定如下表6所示的SSC模式、业务 区分符、业务流类型符的对应关系。表6中的同一行的信息表示一组关联关系。

例如,核心网络中的网络节点可以向5GMS AF1021反馈表6中的关联关系。
例如,表6还可以通过URSP从PCF 1032中下发至用户终端101。PCF所生成的URSP包括5GMS AF 1021和NEF/PCF协商确定的业务区分符。
通过方法4010,通过业务流类型符,5GMS AF 1021可以和核心网的网络节点协商至少一个媒体流业务的业务区分符,从而实现对媒体流业务更精细的QoS控制。
通过从5GMS AF 1021接收到带有SSC模式和/或业务区分符的策略模板,UE 101可以在发起或变更媒体流的业务的时候,能够使用具备合适SSC模式的PDU会话来承载该媒体流的业务。由此,使得UE 101能够在发起或变更媒体流业务之时能够实现该媒体流业务的连续性控制。特别的,该策略模板可以作为UE的本地配置信息,当UE不支持URSP规则时,以该策略模板中的信息为依据来把该媒体流业务绑定到特定的PDU会话,或决定是否发起新的PDU会话。由此解决了现有技术中网络侧设备无法根据业务提供方的需求来确定业务的业务连续性问题。
如图4B所示,方法4020包括步骤S4021至S4023。
在步骤4021中,核心网络中的网络节点从数据网络中的网络节点接收所述媒体流业务的待确认的业务区分符,所述业务区分符用于区分所述媒体流业务中不同业务类型的媒体流业务。
其中,所述核心网络中的网络节点包括用于控制网络开放功能的网络节点和用于控制网络策略和计费规则功能的网络节点。

方法50100包括步骤S50101至步骤S50111。
在步骤S50101中,由数据网络中的网络节点向核心网络中的网络节点所述媒体流业务的业务流类型符,所述业务流类型符用于描述所述媒体流业务中不同功能的媒体流业务。
在步骤S50102中,由核心网络中的网络节点从数据网络中的网络节点接收所述媒体流业务的业务流类型符。

策略模板信息包括由核心网络CN 103中的网络节点与5GMS AF 1011进行协商的一组参数。5GMS AF 1011可以通过创建策略模板的数据模型来在与核心网络中的网络节点的协商的过程中创建、获取、更新和删除相关的策略模板资源(Policy Template Resource)。由此策略模板信息还可被称为策略模板、策略模板资源、策略模板资源信息、策略模板数据等。本申请中以策略模板信息的命名方式来举例说明,但对策略模板信息的名称不加以限定。
可选地,所述策略模板信息还包括业务区分符(Service differentiator),所述业务区分符指示媒体流业务类型。其中,所述策略模板信息通过将所述业务区分符与所述策略模板中的策略相关联来指示至少一种媒体流业务类型的会话策略。可选的,所述策略模板信息通过将所述业务区分符与现有的网络特征相关联来指示至少一种媒体流业务类型的PDU会话的属性。
例如,假设某条策略模板信息具有策略模板标识符(policyTemplateId):policyTemplateId-1。在该策略模板信息中包括业务区分符SD-1和媒体流业务的连续性特征CF1。由于业务区分符SD-1和媒体流业务的连续性特征CF1均位于具有策略模板标识符policyTemplateId-1的策略模板信息中,因此,UE 101可以推断出业务区分符SD-1和媒体流业务的连续性特征CF1具备关联性。
也即,对应于包含该业务区分符SD-1的流描述符对应的媒体流业务应当具备媒体流业务的连续性特征CF1。
或者,动态策略资源中还可以以键值对的方式存储业务区分符和策略模板标识符以建立业务区 分符和策略模板标识符的关联关系,并通过该关联关系进一步确定业务区分符和媒体流业务的连续性特征的关联性。例如,以业务区分符的流描述符为键,以策略模板标识符为值构建如下键值对:<业务区分符SD-1的流描述符,策略模板标识符policyTemplateId-1>,<业务区分符SD-2的流描述符,策略模板标识符policyTemplateId-2>,<业务区分符SD-3的流描述符,策略模板标识符policyTemplateId-3>等等。例如,动态策略资源还可以以策略模板标识符为键,以业务区分符的流描述符为值构建键值对。例如,动态策略资源还可以以策略模板标识符为键,以业务区分符为值构建键值对。本申请不对将业务区分符和策略模板标识符相关联的方式进行进一步的限定。在本申请的实施例中,可以使用SSC模式来表征媒体流的会话和业务连续性的特征。本领域技术人员应当理解还可以使用其他参数来表征媒体流的连续性特征。具体地,SSC模式与协议数据单元(PDU)会话关联,并在PDU会话存续期间保持不变。

在步骤S50110中,由用户终端确定是否存在能够承载所述待发起的媒体流业务的协议数据单元会话,其中,所述协议数据单元会话包括与所述待发起的媒体流业务的业务区分符对应的服务质量流。
在步骤S50111中,在存在所述协议数据单元会话的情况下,由用户终端将所述待发起的媒体流业务绑定到所述协议数据单元会话中的服务质量流上;在不存在所述协议数据单元会话的情况下,由用户终端建立包括与所述待发起的媒体流业务的业务区分符对应的服务质量流的协议数据单元会话。
方法50200包括步骤S50201至步骤S50211。

在步骤S50203中,在所述媒体流业务的待确认的业务区分符与所述核心网络中的网络节点的网络策略或本地配置信息相匹配的情况下,由核心网络中的网络节点将所述媒体流业务的待确认的业务区分符确认为所述媒体流业务的业务区分符。在所述媒体流业务的待确认的业务区分符与所述核心网络中的网络节点的网络策略或本地配置信息不匹配的情况下,由核心网络中的网络节点将与所述核心网络中的网络节点的网络策略或本地配置信息相匹配的业务区分符确认为所述媒体流业务的业务区分符。
在步骤S50204中,由核心网络中的网络节点向所述数据网络中的网络节点发送所述媒体流业务的业务区分符。
在步骤S50205中,由数据网络中的网络节点从所述核心网络中的网络节点接收所述媒体流业务对应的业务区分符。

在步骤S50211中,在存在所述协议数据单元会话的情况下,由用户终端将所述待发起的媒体流业务绑定到所述协议数据单元会话中的服务质量流上;在不存在所述协议数据单元会话的情况下,由用户终端建立包括与所述待发起的媒体流业务的业务区分符对应的服务质量流的协议数据单元会话。
在方法50100和方法50200中,网络侧的设备和用户终端还可以利用业务区分符来标识媒体流业务的细分类型,并使用业务流类型符对具备相同的业务区分符的媒体流业务进行进一步划分,从而实现对媒体流业务更精细的QoS控制和业务连续性控制。
由于一个PDU会话的SSC模式在其存续期间不变,因此在存在与待发起的媒体流业务的连续性特征相匹配的PDU会话的情况下,UE 101可以将待发起的媒体流业务绑定到该PDU会话,从而使得该PDU会话能够承载该待发起的媒体流业务。当然,如果不存在待发起的媒体流业务的连续性特征相匹配的PDU会话的情况下,UE 101需要建立符合待发起的媒体流业务的连续性要求的PDU会话(也即具备特定SSC模式的PDU会话)。
