步骤311,会话管理网元向接入与移动性管理网元发送N1N2消息(Namf_Communication_N1N2Message transfer)。N1N2消息中携带了用户面功能网元的隧道端点标识等信息,该信息会发给接入网网元,用于告诉接入网网元,上行数据的目的对端。若该PDU会话是用于IMS的,则会话管理网元还会将代理呼叫网元的地址信息携带在此N1N2消息中。
步骤312,接入与移动性管理网元向用户设备发送上述代理呼叫网元的地址信息。
示例性的,接入与移动性管理网元向用户设备发送NAS消息。该NAS消息中携带了上述代理呼叫网元的地址信息。
步骤313,用户设备根据接收到的代理呼叫网元的地址,请求与代理呼叫网元建立连接。
示例性的,用户设备向代理呼叫网元发送SIP信令(亦可称为IMS信令或IMS消息)。 该SIP信令用于请求建立与IMS网络的连接。该SIP信令的目标地址为用户设备接收到的代理呼叫网元的地址。
为实现非公共网络为不同服务提供商的用户设备建立与对应服务提供商提供的IMS网络的会话连接,如图4为本申请示例性提供的另一种系统架构,该系统架构中一个非公共网络可以连接多个IMS网络。
示例性的,如图4中,非公共网络分别连接IMS网络1、IMS网络2和IMS网络3,IMS网络1由服务提供商1提供,IMS网络2由服务提供商2提供,IMS网络3由服务提供商3提供,具体的,服务提供商1、服务提供商2和服务提供商3分别对应标识信息:服务提供商标识1(SP ID1)、服务提供商标识2(SP ID2)和服务提供商标识3(SP ID3),IMS网络1、IMS网络2和IMS网络3分别对应标识信息:IMS网络标识1(IMS ID1)、IMS网络标识2(IMS ID2)和IMS网络标识3(IMS ID3),本申请实施例均可以结合图4举例说明。
还需要说明的是,一个IMS网络仍可以继续连接一个或多个非公共网络。
非公共网络中用户设备在请求连接IMS网络时,非公共网络需要确定用户设备请求连接的IMS网络是哪一个(如下将用户设备请求连接的IMS网络称为目标IMS网络)。示例性的,如图4中,若用户设备属于服务提供商1,则该用户设备请求连接IMS网络时,非公共网络确定目标IMS网络为IMS网络1,然后非公共网络建立用户设备与IMS网络1的会话连接。
在一个可选方式中,如图5a所示,可以在非公共网络中部署一个IMS网络的本地用户服务器(IMS HSS),该本地用户服务器中存储有用户设备在IMS网络中的签约数据。当用户设备发起PDU会话建立请求消息时,非公共网络通过统一数据管理网元以及本地用户服务器,确定该用户设备想要连接的目标IMS网络的服务提供商信息,从而确定目标IMS网络和目标IMS网络中代理呼叫网元,非公共网络建立用户面功能网元与代理呼叫网元之间的连接,从而完成PDU会话建立。
在另一个可选方式中,如图5b所示,可以在非公共网络中部署本地用户服务器和一个无服务提供商属性的代理呼叫网元,其中本地用户服务器存储有用户设备在IMS网络中的签约数据,用户面功能网元通过N6接口与代理呼叫网元连接。当用户设备发起PDU会话建立请求消息时,代理呼叫网元可以通过查询本地用户服务器,获知用户设备的服务提供商信息,从而基于用户设备的服务提供商信息确定目标IMS网络和目标IMS网络中问询呼叫网元。当代理呼叫网元收到来自该用户设备的IMS消息时,可以将该IMS消息发送至该目标IMS网络中的问询呼叫网元。
如图5a和图5b中,均需要在非公共网络中新增功能网元,增加了部署成本。
基于此,本申请提供一种通信方法,从非公共网络连接的多个IMS网络中确定出目标IMS网络,建立用户设备与目标IMS网络的会话连接。
此外,本申请提供的方法有助于节省部署成本,在每个IMS网络中部署有与之对应的代理呼叫网元的情况下,无需在非公共网络中增加本地用户服务器,参照图5a,可以不在非公共网络中部署本地用户服务器情况下,实现从多个IMS网络中确定出目标IMS网络。
又或者,在非公共网络中部署无服务提供商属性的代理呼叫网元的情况下,无需在非公共网络中增加本地用户服务器,参照图5b,可以不在非公共网络中部署本地用户服务器 情况下,实现从多个IMS网络中确定出目标IMS网络。
应理解,本申请提供的通信方法,可以适用于两种架构:
架构一,在每个IMS网络中部署有与之对应的代理呼叫网元,架构一可以参照图5a,且非公共网络中无需部署本地用户服务器。
架构二,在非公共网络中部署无服务提供商属性的代理呼叫网元,架构二可以参照图5b,且非公共网络中无需部署本地用户服务器。
参照如图6示出的流程示意图说明如下。其中,该流程图涉及非公共网络和与该非公共网络连接的多个IMS网络,非公共网络从多个IMS网络中确定目标IMS网络,其中该目标IMS网络是由用户设备的服务提供商(可以称为是目标服务提供商)提供。
进一步的,非公共网络中包括会话管理网元、接入与移动性管理网元、策略控制网元、用户设备、接入网网元等,IMS网络中包括问询呼叫网元。基于上述架构一和架构二,代理呼叫网元可以在非公共网络中,也可以在IMS网络中。
步骤601,用户设备向会话管理网元发送第一信息。
第一信息用于指示所述用户设备请求连接的目标IMS网络。
第一信息可以是用户设备直接发送至会话管理网元的,或是用户设备经接入与移动性管理网元发送至会话管理网元的。
第一信息可以是用户设备在请求建立会话连接时发送的,也可以是用户设备在请求建立会话连接之前发送的。示例性的,用户设备向接入与移动性管理网元发送的PDU会话建立请求消息(NAS消息),该PDU会话建立请求消息中包括第一信息,接入与移动性管理网元选择会话管理网元,然后向该会话管理网元发送该第一信息。一种可行的实现方式,接入与移动性管理网元向该会话管理网元发送PDU会话创建会话上下文请求消息,该PDU会话创建会话上下文请求消息中包括有该第一信息。
第一信息中可以包括目标服务提供商的标识信息和/或第一呼叫信息。其中,目标服务提供商的标识信息,具体可以是,目标服务提供商标识、目标运营商标识、目标运营商网络标识等任意可以用于表征提供目标IMS网络服务的服务提供商的信息。第一呼叫信息用于指示目标IMS网络中目标代理呼叫网元,具体的,第一呼叫信息可以是目标IMS网络中目标代理呼叫网元的地址信息。
第一种可选实现方式中,用户设备可以将目标服务提供商的标识信息作为第一信息发送至会话管理网元。
示例性的,用户设备可以先获取第一集合,第一集合中包括与非公共网络连接的多个IMS网络中各IMS网络所属的服务提供商的标识信息。用户设备从第一集合中确定出用户设备请求的服务提供商的标识信息(即目标服务提供商的标识信息),向会话管理网元发送目标服务提供商的标识信息。
结合图4举例,第一集合中包括SP ID1、SP ID2和SP ID3。若用户设备对应服务提供商1,则用户设备从第一集合中确定出SP ID1,并向会话管理网元发送SP ID1。
本可选实现方式中,第一集合可以是用户设备从接入网网元、或接入与移动性管理网元、或会话管理网元中获取。
第一个示例,第一集合可以是接入网网元发送至用户设备的,接入网网元可以是基于用户设备的请求发送的,也可以是广播给用户设备的。该第一集合可以承载于接入网网元向用户设备发送的无线资源控制(radio resource control,RRC)消息、或媒体接入控制层 的控制单元(medium access control control element,MAC CE)、或下行控制信息(downlink control information,DCI)中。
第二个示例,用户设备可以向接入与移动性管理网元发送第一请求信息,该第一请求信息用于向接入与移动性管理网元请求第一集合。接入与移动性管理网元接收该第一请求信息,向用户设备发送包含有该第一集合的第一响应信息。可选的,接入与移动性管理网元可以从会话管理网元获得该第一集合。
可选的,第一请求信息可以是承载于用户设备向接入与移动性管理网元发送的NAS消息中,该第一请求信息可以作为单独的一条NAS消息,也可以是承载于已有的NAS消息中。第一响应信息可以是承载于接入与移动性管理网元向用户设备发送的NAS消息中,该第一响应信息可以作为单独的一条NAS消息,也可以是承载于已有的NAS消息中。
需要指出的是,用户设备获取第一集合的目的在于,确定非公共网络连接的多个IMS网络中是否存在为用户设备提供服务的目标IMS网络,所以,用户设备若确定第一集合中存在用户设备所属的服务提供商的标识信息,则确定多个IMS网络中存在目标IMS网络,用户设备可以通过非公共网络建立会话连接以获取该目标IMS网络提供的IMS业务。若用户设备确定多个IMS网络中不存在目标IMS网络,则可以确定无法通过非公共网络建立会话连接以获取该目标IMS网络提供的IMS业务。
此外,用户设备也可以直接将自己的服务提供商的标识信息作为第一信息,非公共网络来确定多个IMS网络中是否存在目标IMS网络,也即确定是否可以建立用户设备与目标IMS网络之间的会话连接。结合上述例子,用户设备可以向会话管理网元发送SP ID1,其中SP ID1指示的服务提供商1提供的IMS网络1,若非公共网络根据SP ID1确定多个IMS网络中存在IMS网络1,则建立用户设备与IMS网络1之间的会话连接。
第一信息可以是数据网络名称信息。需要说明的是,现有技术中IMS网络对应的数据网络名称信息具体为“IMS”,其中并未包含目标服务提供商的标识信息,而本方案中数据网络名称信息为增强的数据网络名称信息,相比于现有技术中数据网络名称信息,其中包括服务提供商的标识信息。用户设备向会话管理网元发送数据网络名称信息,会话管理网元可以根据数据网络名称信息获得目标服务提供商的标识信息。
可选的,数据网络名称信息可以是用户设备从接入网网元、或接入与移动性管理网元、或会话管理网元中获取。
示例性的,接入网网元广播第二集合,其中第二集合包括与非公共网络连接的多个IMS网络中各IMS网络对应的数据网络名称信息,其中每个IMS网络对应的数据网络名称信息包括IMS网络所属服务提供商的标识信息。用户设备根据自己所属的服务提供商,从第二集合中确定数据网络名称信息。
结合图4举例,IMS网络1、IMS网络2和IMS网络3分别对应的数据网络名称信息为DNN1(包括SP ID1)、DNN2(包括SP ID2)和DNN3(包括SP ID3),接入网网元广播的第二集合中包括DNN1、DNN2和DNN3。若用户设备对应服务提供商1,则用户设备从第二集合中确定出DNN1,并向会话管理网元发送DNN1。
此外,第二集合中还可以进一步包括与DNN对应的服务提供商,比如,第二集合中包括(SP ID1和DNN1),(SP ID2和DNN2),以及(SP ID3和DNN3),用户设备接收第二集合,根据用户设备对应的服务提供商1,从第二集合中确定出SP ID1对应的DNN1,并向会话管理网元发送DNN1。
再示例性的,用户设备向接入与移动性管理网元发送第二请求信息,第二请求信息用于向接入与移动性管理网元请求目标服务提供商提供的IMS网络的数据网络名称信息,其中第二请求信息中包括有目标服务提供商的标识信息。
进一步的,第二请求信息中还可以包括目标服务提供商的标识信息和第一指示信息,其中第一指示信息用于指示第二请求信息是用于请求该目标服务提供商提供的IMS网络的数据网络名称信息的请求消息。
接入与移动性管理网元根据第二请求信息中目标服务提供商的标识信息,确定接入与移动性管理网元中是否有与目标服务提供商的标识信息对应的数据网络名称信息。若有,则向用户设备发送包括有该数据网络名称信息的第二响应信息,若没有,则从会话管理网元中获取该数据网络名称信息之后,向用户设备发送包含该数据网络名称信息的第二响应信息。
一种具体实现中,接入与移动性管理网元向会话管理网元发送目标服务提供商的标识信息,会话管理网元根据目标服务提供商的标识信息,向接入与移动性管理网元发送数据网络名称信息。可选的,接入与移动性管理网元还可以向会话管理网元发送第二指示信息,其中第二指示信息用于指示会话管理网元向接入与移动性管理网元发送该数据网络名称信息。
结合图4举例,用户设备向接入与移动性管理网元发送的第二请求信息,其中第二请求信息包括SP ID1,接入与移动性管理网元根据第二请求信息中SP ID1,确定接入与移动性管理网元中没有SP ID1对应的DNN1,则从会话管理网元中获取该DNN1,并向用户设备发送DNN1。
第二种可选实现方式,用户设备可以将第一呼叫信息作为第一信息发送至会话管理网元。
架构一中每个IMS网络中部署有与之对应的代理呼叫网元,非公共网络根据第一信息确定目标代理呼叫网元,以及目标代理呼叫网元所属的目标IMS网络。
示例性的,如图4的系统架构中,IMS网络1、IMS网络2和IMS网络3分别对应的代理呼叫信息为代理呼叫信息1、代理呼叫信息2和代理呼叫信息3。用户设备向会话管理网元发送代理呼叫信息1,则会话管理网元根据代理呼叫信息1确定目标IMS网络为IMS网络1,并选择可以与IMS网络1建立连接的用户面功能网元。
示例性的,用户设备确定第一呼叫信息可以有如下方式一和方式二。
方式一,用户设备从接入网网元中获取。
接入网网元可以向用户设备广播第三集合(也可称为第三信息),其中,第三集合中包括非公共网络连接的多个IMS网络中各IMS网络所属的服务提供商的标识信息和对应的代理呼叫信息,用户设备根据其所属的服务提供商的标识信息,确定对应的代理呼叫信息,该代理呼叫信息即为第一呼叫信息。
结合图4举例,第三集合中包括IMS网络1对应的SP ID1和代理呼叫信息1、IMS网络2对应的SP ID2和代理呼叫信息2、IMS网络3对应的SP ID3和代理呼叫信息3。若用户设备的所属服务提供商对应SP ID1,则用户设备从第三集合中确定出代理呼叫信息1为第一信息。
需要指出的是,用户设备获取第三集合的目的在于,确定非公共网络连接的多个IMS网络中是否存在为用户设备提供服务的目标IMS网络。所以,用户设备若确定第三集合中 存在用户设备所属的服务提供商的标识信息,则确定多个IMS网络中存在目标IMS网络,用户设备可以通过非公共网络建立会话连接以获取该目标IMS网络提供的IMS业务。用户设备若确定多个IMS网络中不存在目标IMS网络,则可以确定无法通过非公共网络建立会话连接以获取该目标IMS网络提供的IMS业务。
方式二,用户设备从域名系统服务器(domain name system server,DNS server)中获取。
用户设备可以向域名系统服务器请求第一呼叫信息。
示例性的,用户设备中预先配置有所属服务提供商提供的IMS网络的域名信息(即目标IMS网络的域名信息)。示例性的,目标IMS网络的域名信息可以是ims.mnc99.mcc999.3gppnetwork.org;其中mnc表示移动网络码(mobile network code),是一个国家内运营商网络的代码;mcc表示移动国家码(mobile country code),是一个唯一指定某国家的三位数字代码。该域名信息指示在移动国家码为999的国家内由移动网络码为99的运营商提供的IMS网络。
用户设备向域名系统服务器发送第三请求信息,该第三请求信息中包括有目标IMS网络的域名信息和非公共网络的标识信息,其中非公共网络的标识信息可以是非公共网络的网络标识(比如公共陆地移动网络标识(public land mobile network identity,PLMN ID)+网络标识(network identifier,NID)。域名系统服务器接收到第三请求信息,根据第三请求信息中目标IMS网络的域名信息和非公共网络的标识信息,确定目标IMS网络域名对应的代理呼叫信息(即第一呼叫信息),该第一呼叫信息指示的代理呼叫网元与该非公共网络连接,域名系统服务器将包含有第一呼叫信息的第三响应信息发送至用户设备。
此外,若域名系统服务器确定未有目标IMS网络域名对应的代理呼叫信息,则向用户设备反馈的第三响应信息用于指示查询失败,或指示非公共网络中未连接目标IMS网络。
域名系统服务器可以是部署于会话管理网元中,或者说,会话管理网元具有域名系统服务器的功能,在该种方式中,用户设备从域名系统服务器中获取第一呼叫信息,相当于是,用户设备从会话管理网元中获取第一呼叫信息。用户设备可以通过控制面消息或者用户面消息从会话管理网元中获取第一呼叫信息。
在第二种可选实现方式中,示例性的,会话管理网元中预先获得第一对应关系,该第一对应关系中包括有与非公共网络连接的多个IMS网络中各IMS网络对应的服务提供商的标识信息和代理呼叫信息(比如代理呼叫网元的地址信息)。用户设备向会话管理网元发送第一呼叫信息,第一呼叫信息可以隐式指示用户设备所属的目标服务提供商,或者说,隐式指示用户设备所属的目标服务提供商的标识信息。
结合图4举例,如表1为一种第一对应关系,该第一对应关系中包含有IMS网络1至IMS网络3分别对应的服务提供商的标识信息和代理呼叫信息。若第一呼叫信息为代理呼叫地址信息1(P-CSCF IP1),则可以指示用户设备所属的目标服务提供商为服务提供商1,以及所属的目标服务提供商的标识信息为SP ID1。
表1
服务提供商的标识信息 代理呼叫信息
SP ID1 P-CSCF IP1
SP ID2 P-CSCF IP2
SP ID 3 P-CSCF IP3
第三种可选实现方式,用户设备将目标服务提供商的标识信息和第一呼叫信息一起作为第一信息发送至会话管理网元,其中目标服务提供商提供的目标IMS网络对应的代理呼叫信息即为该第一呼叫信息。该具体实现可参照上述第一种可选实现方式和第二种可选实现方式,不再赘述。
步骤602,会话管理网元根据所述第一信息,确定第一呼叫信息。
情况一、第一信息中包括目标服务提供商的标识信息。
架构一中在每个IMS网络中部署有与之对应的代理呼叫网元,会话管理网元根据第一信息中包括的目标服务提供商的标识信息,确定第一呼叫信息,第一呼叫信息指示目标代理呼叫网元(即目标IMS网络中代理呼叫网元),相当于会话管理网元从与非公共网络连接的多个IMS网络中确定出目标IMS网络。
一种可选实现方式中,会话管理网元中包括第一对应关系,会话管理网元根据目标服务提供商的标识信息,从第一对应关系中确定出与目标服务提供商的标识信息对应的代理呼叫信息,即为第一呼叫信息。结合上述表1举例,若第一信息中包括目标服务提供商的标识信息为SP ID1,则会话管理网元可以确定第一呼叫信息为P-CSCF IP1。
架构二中在非公共网络中部署无服务提供商属性的代理呼叫网元,会话管理网元可以基于服务提供商的标识信息,确定非公共网络中部署的无服务提供商属性的代理呼叫网元的代理呼叫信息(同样可以称为是第一呼叫信息)。
情况二、第一信息中包括第一呼叫信息。
会话管理网元可以从第一信息中确定第一呼叫信息。
当然,第一信息中还可以包括目标服务提供商的标识信息和第一呼叫信息,该具体实现可参照上述情况一和情况二,不再赘述。
步骤603,会话管理网元向用户设备发送第一呼叫信息。
相应的,用户设备接收来自会话管理网元的第一呼叫信息,用户设备可以根据第一呼叫信息,确定IMS消息的目的地址信息。
示例性的,用户设备获得目标代理呼叫网元的地址信息,便可向目标代理呼叫网元发送IMS消息以获取目标IMS网络提供的IMS业务。
上述技术方案实现一个非公共网络连接多个IMS网络,为不同服务提供商的用户设备提供各自的IMS网络服务。进一步的,用户设备向会话管理网元发送第一信息,第一信息可以包括目标服务提供商的标识信息和/或第一呼叫信息,会话管理网元可以基于第一信息确定用户设备请求连接的目标IMS网络,从而建立用户设备与目标IMS网络之间的会话连接,无需在非公共网络中新增本地用户服务器,有助于减少部署的成本。
进一步的,第一信息为数据网络名称信息时,用户设备可以采用现有的会话建立流程,无需额外增加信元或参数,非公共网络即可获知用户设备请求连接的IMS网络,完成会话建立。
此外,需要指出的是,架构二中在非公共网络中部署无服务提供商属性的代理呼叫网元,虽然用户设备根据第一呼叫信息,向非公共网络中无服务提供商属性的目标代理呼叫 网元发送IMS消息,但该目标代理呼叫网元连接有多个服务提供商分别提供的IMS网络,目标代理呼叫网元在向目标IMS网络中的目标问询呼叫网元发送IMS消息之前,确定目标IMS网络中的目标问询呼叫网元。
一种可选实现方式中,目标代理呼叫网元获得目标关联关系,目标关联关系中包含用户设备的标识信息和用户设备对应的问询呼叫信息。其中,用户设备的标识信息可以是用户设备的IP地址或用户设备的标识(Identity,ID)。用户设备对应的问询呼叫信息可以是用户设备所属服务提供商对应的IMS网络中问询呼叫网元的地址信息。
示例性的,表2为目标代理呼叫网元获得的一种目标关联关系。表2中包括用户设备的标识信息和用户设备对应的问询呼叫信息。其中一个或多个用户设备可以对应于同一个问询呼叫信息。

此外,目标关联关系中还可以包括用户设备所属服务提供商的标识信息。示例性的,表3为目标代理呼叫网元获得的另一种目标关联关系。表3中包括用户设备的标识信息、用户设备所属服务提供商的标识信息和用户设备对应的问询呼叫信息。其中一个或多个用户设备可以对应于同一个问询呼叫信息,以及一个或多个用户设备可以对应于同一个服务提供商的标识信息。

UE IP 3 SP ID3 I-CSCF IP3
UE IP 4 SP ID3 I-CSCF IP3
UE IP5 SP ID3 I-CSCF IP3
若目标代理呼叫网元接收到IMS消息,则可以根据IMS消息中的用户设备的标识信息,从目标关联关系中确定用户设备的标识信息对应的问询呼叫信息(即第二呼叫信息),并向该第二呼叫信息对应的问询呼叫网元发送IMS消息。
比如表2中,若IMS消息中包含有UE IP 1,则目标代理呼叫网元确定出第二呼叫信息为I-CSCF IP1,目标代理呼叫网元向I-CSCF IP1对应的问询呼叫网元发送该IMS消息。
本申请实施例中,目标代理呼叫网元可以从会话管理网元、或策略控制网元获得目标关联关系。或者,该目标关联关系也可以配置在目标代理呼叫网元上。
示例性的,会话管理网元或策略控制网元确定目标关联关系,向目标代理呼叫网元发送该目标关联关系。如下分情况解释说明。
需要说明的是,目标代理呼叫网元、或会话管理网元、或策略控制网元可以获得一个第二对应关系,该第二对应关系中包括与非公共网络连接的多个IMS网络中各IMS网络对应的服务提供商的标识信息和问询呼叫信息,结合如图4,如表4为一种第二对应关系,该第二对应关系中包含有IMS网络1至IMS网络3分别对应的服务提供商的标识信息和问询呼叫信息。

上述技术方案实现一个非公共网络连接多个IMS网络,为不同服务提供商的用户设备提供各自的IMS网络服务。当无服务提供商属性的代理呼叫网元部署于非公共网络中时,该代理呼叫网元可以基于目标关联关系,确定问询呼叫网元,从而向该问询呼叫网元发送 来自用户设备的IMS消息。
基于相同的发明构思,如图7为本申请示例性提供的第一种建立用户设备与目标IMS网络之间的会话连接的流程示意图,该实施例可以适用于架构一中在每个IMS网络中部署有与之对应的代理呼叫网元的情况。
