随着业务数据量的激增,业务的传输对通信技术提出了新的需求,通过网络辅助提升业务的服务质量、优化用户的体验成为研究热点。目前,网络侧还无法给予业务传输以合理、有效的优化处理,难以保障用户侧的体验。
以媒体业务为例,新媒体行业快速发展的同时对通信技术提出了新的需求。媒体行业激增的数据量,尤其是超高清视频、VR/AR全景视频等新兴媒体流的出现,对网络传输能力提出了前所未有的挑战。5G技术因能够使得媒体行业实时高清渲染和大幅降低设备对本地计算能力的需求而得以落地。5G技术可以使大量数据被实时传输,降低网络延时,不仅可满足超高清视频直播,还能让AR/VR对画质和时延要求较高的应用获得长足发展。
从网络层来看,媒体流量在5G移动网络中的占比预计会超过90%,是移动网络的主要承载流量,用户媒体体验很大程度上就决定了移动用户对整个移动网络业务体验;从业务层来看,媒体不断向超高清视频、360度全景VR视频等新媒体形式发展,秒切秒开、快速码率自适应切换等高带宽、实时性控制需求对时延和带宽有越来越严苛的要求,单纯依赖媒体业务层自身的闭环控制难以满足用户的媒体体验要求。因此,联合网络与媒体业务,通过网络辅助提升媒体业务的服务质量、优化用户的视频体验成为研究热点,尤其是对于AR/VR全景视频流、4K/8K超高清视频流等。
现有媒体业务传输主要是基于超文本传输协议(hyper text transfer protocol,HTTP)的媒体流传输业务,例如活动图像专家组(moving picture experts group,MPEG)HTTP动态自适应流媒体(dynamic adaptive streaming over HTTP,DASH)、苹果公司所提的实时流媒体HTTP(HTTP live streaming,HLS)、HTTP-FLV(HTTP Flash Video)以及动态媒体流HTTP(HTTP dynamic streaming)等广泛应用于当前的媒体流传输之中。
对于点播业务来讲,服务器的媒体业务下发与HTTP协议的本身特性—请求-回复式特征密切相关,即媒体业务的下发严格依赖于用户侧媒体客户端发送的媒体请求。媒体业务在播放过程中,用户侧媒体客户端会出现如图2所示的周期性的开关(ON-OFF)行为,其中,ON表示客户端请求媒体分片或者媒体分片在下载,OFF表示服务器与客户端没有交互,没有媒体分片被请求。如图2所示,当网络较为稳定后,用户侧媒体客户端会在一定时间后发送新的媒体请求,并在观看一段时间之后再次请求,从而出现如图2所示的周期性ON-OFF特性。
一种传输媒体业务的方案为:一个完整的媒体流会在应用服务器(application server,AS)侧被划分为一段段等长的媒体流片段(或称媒体分片),针对每段时长的媒体流片段有不同质量的媒体流;当UE向指定全球资源定位器(uniform resource locator,URL)发起媒体流播放请求之后,应用服务器会返回一个媒体描述文件(media presentation description,MPD),其中包含了所有媒体流片段所有质量的URL信息;UE侧媒体客户 端可以根据传输控制协议(transmission control protocol,TCP)层的平均吞吐量大小感知网络状况,进而根据网络状况和媒体流吞吐量的大小,请求对应码率的媒体流,实现媒体流的自适应码率调整;当UE侧媒体客户端缓存下降到一定门限时,会再次发起新的媒体分片请求,确保其缓存能够保证充足,避免发生卡顿。
UE侧媒体客户端的媒体分片请求,造成了下行媒体流的ON-OFF特征,然而UE侧媒体客户端的媒体分片请求的行为会受到空口网络状况、UE侧媒体客户端缓存区状态、用户行为以及具体媒体客户端实现的诸多因素影响,难以得到一个稳定有效的ON-OFF周期流量特征,导致网络侧无法精确预测下行媒体流的到达时间。
此外,为了保证用户安全隐私以及视频媒体的版权问题,现有的主流解决方案应用了数字版权管理(digital right management,DRM),而且其传输层往往使用基于传输层安全(transport layer security,TLS)/安全套接层(security socket layer,SSL)的安全超文本传输协议(HTTP over TLS/SSL,HTTPS)传输协议以保障数据在网络传输中的安全。媒体业务的进一步加密使得网络侧难以识别媒体业务特征。
因此,目前网络侧无法给予媒体业务传输合理、有效的优化处理,难以保障用户侧的媒体播放体验。
针对上述问题,本申请提供了一种传输业务的方法和通信装置,在本申请的技术方案中接入网设备可以确定UE是否在请求应用层的业务,并在确定UE在请求应用层的业务的情况下,提前为将要到来的业务进行空口无线资源调度,有助于提升用户侧的体验。

在本申请实施例对UPF根据第一数据包的大小确定用户设备请求应用层的第一业务的方式不作具体限定。作为一个示例,UPF判断第二数据包的大小是否满足预设条件。若第二数据包的大小满足预设条件,则UPF确定用户设备请求应用层的第一业务;若第二数据包的大小不满足预设条件,则UPF确定该数据包不是用于请求第一业务的请求消息。
可选地,预设条件可以为数据包的大小大于第一负载门限值,或者,数据包的大小小于第二负载门限值,或者,数据包的大小大于第一负载门限值且小于第二负载门限值。其中,第一负载门限值和第二负载门限值为数据包负载门限值。

步骤303,接入网设备确定用户设备请求第一业务的数据量。
在一些实现方式中,接入网设备可以先确定第一码率,进一步根据第一码率和第一码率对应的数据量,确定用户请求第一业务的数据量。
在本申请中接入网设备确定第一码率的方式有很多,对此不作具体限定。

下面结合图4至图7,对本申请提供的传输业务的方法的具体实现方式进行描述。图4至图7中以传输媒体业务为例进行说明。
在本申请的实施例中,应用服务器可以通过能力开放将与媒体业务传输相关的信息提供给网络侧,以便网络侧能够监测与该信息相应的媒体业务,并能够在媒体业务到达时进行优化处理操作。
其中,与媒体业务传输相关的信息可以包括业务信息、流描述信息、门限信息等。
1)业务信息可以包括以下信息中的至少一项:至少一个码率标识信息、至少一个码率标识信息分别对应的网络需求信息、至少一个码率标识信息分别对应的数据量、以及用于辅助选择码率的信息。
其中:
码率标识信息用于标识不同码率,可以是码率的索引、编号等,例如可以用1、2、3、4分别表示分辨率为4K、2K、1080p、720p的视频源,其码率可以表示为8Mbps、4Mbps、2Mbps、1Mbps。
用于辅助选择码率的信息可以是与媒体客户端相关的信息,例如媒体客户端的处理器能力、客户端分辨率、刷新率以及媒体客户端的缓存情况等,具体取决于该业务进行码率自适应调整过程中的算法逻辑。
另外,至少一个码率标识信息分别对应的网络需求信息也可以描述为至少一个码率分别对应的网络需求信息,至少一个码率标识信息分别对应的数据量也可以描述为至少一个码率分别对应的数据量。

3 | 4M |
4 | 2M |
又例如,码率标识信息对应的数据量可以表示为:<1,16>,<2,8>,<3,4>,<4,2>。
2)门限信息用于区分数据包是否为媒体分片请求消息,例如,上述的第一负载门限值和/或第二负载门限值。
在一些实现方中,可以通过PDU会话建立流程或者PDU会话修改流程,将上述与媒体业务传输相关的信息下发给接入网设备和/或UPF。
图4是本申请实施例应用服务器下发与媒体传输相关的信息的示意性流程图。
步骤401,AF或AS向PCF发送上述与媒体业务传输相关的信息。相应地,PCF接收来自AF或AS的与媒体业务传输相关的信息。
可选地,AF或AS可以通过AF请求消息(AF request)将上述与媒体业务传输相关的信息告知PCF侧。具体地,AF可以通过AF请求消息对UDR中的信息进行修改,随后UDR中信息的更新触发对PCF的通知,从而使得对应信息发往PCF侧。
随后,当UE发起PDU会话建立流程或PDU会话修改流程时,PCF可以通过PDU会话建立流程或PDU会话修改流程将上述与媒体业务传输相关的信息下发给接入网设备和/或UPF。
步骤402,UE向SMF发送PDU会话建立请求消息或PDU会话修改请求消息。相应地,SMF接收来自UE的PDU会话建立请求消息或PDU会话修改请求消息。
步骤403,在接收到PDU会话建立请求消息或PDU会话修改请求消息后,SMF向PCF发起会话管理策略关联建立(session management policy association establishment)流程或会话管理策略关联修改(session management policy association modification)流程。
在会话管理策略关联建立流程或会话管理策略关联修改流程中,PCF可以将上述业务信息、门限信息、相应的策略控制和计费(policy control and charging,PCC)规则等发送给SMF。
在接收到业务信息、门限信息、PCC规则等之后,SMF可以向其他的网元(例如,RAN、UPF、UE等)发送业务信息和/或门限信息。
在一些实现方式中,SMF可以将门限信息发送给UPF,并指示由UPF根据门限信息判断UE是否在请求媒体分片。
例如,如步骤404所示,SMF可以通过N4会话建立流程或N4会话修改流程将相应的PDR、第六指示信息、以及门限信息发往UPF侧,其中,第六指示信息用于指示由UPF根据门限信息确定UE是否在请求媒体分片。
在一些实现方式中,SMF可以将门限信息和业务信息发送给接入网设备,并指示由 接入网设备根据门限信息判断UE是否在请求媒体分片。
例如,如步骤405a和406a所示,SMF可以向接入网设备发送第三指示信息、门限信息和业务信息,其中,第三指示信息用于指示由接入网设备根据门限信息确定UE是否在请求媒体分片。
步骤405a,SMF可以向AMF发送第三指示信息、业务信息、以及门限信息中的至少一个。例如,SMF可以通过N2 SM container向AMF发送第三指示信息、业务信息、以及门限信息中的至少一个。
步骤406b,AMF可以向接入网设备发送第三指示信息、业务信息、以及门限信息中的至少一个。例如,AMF可以通过N2PDU会话请求消息向接入网设备发送上述N2 SM container。
在一些实现方式中,SMF可以将业务信息发送给UE,并指示UE上报请求的码率。
例如,如步骤405b、406b和407所示,SMF可以向UE发送第七指示信息和/或业务信息,其中,第七指示信息用于指示UE上报请求的码率。
步骤405b,SMF可以向AMF发送第七指示信息和/或业务信息。例如,SMF可以通过N1 SM container向AMF发送第七指示信息和/或业务信息。
步骤406b,AMF向接入网设备发送第七指示信息和/或业务信息。例如,AMF可以通过NAS消息向接入网设备发送上述N1 SM container。
步骤407,接入网设备可以向UE发送第七指示信息和/或业务信息。例如,接入网设备可以通过NAS消息发送第七指示信息和/或业务信息。
步骤408,各网元完成剩余的PDU会话建立流程或者PDU会话修改流程。
需要说明的是,针对不同的技术方案,SMF向接入网设备、UPF、UE发送的信息可以不同,例如,当由UPF根据门限信息确定UE是否在请求媒体分片时,可以不向接入网设备发送门限信息。又例如,当由接入网设备根据门限信息确定UE是否在请求媒体分片时,可以不向UPF发送门限信息。又例如,当由UPF或接入网设备根据门限信息确定UE是否在请求媒体分片时,可以不向UE发送第七指示信息和业务信息。换句话说,针对不同的技术方案,SMF可以向接入网设备、UPF、UE发送或者不发送上述与媒体业务传输相关的信息中的部分或全部信息。
通过上述技术方案,应用服务器能够通过网络能力开放接口、以及PDU会话建立或修改流程,将与媒体业务传输相关的信息告知接入网设备和核心网设备,从而能够为当前的PDU会话或者未来的PDU会话提供相应的信息,以确保能够针对对应的媒体业务进行优化操作。
在本申请中,在PDU会话建立之后,当UE访问媒体业务时,接入网设备可以确定UE是否在请求新的媒体分片,并在确定UE在请求新的媒体分片的情况下,提前为新的媒体分片进行空口无线资源调度。
1、由UPF检测UE是否在请求新的媒体分片
图5是本申请实施例提供的传输媒体业务的方法的示意性流程图。图5所示的方法可以由UE、RAN、AMF、SMF、UPF执行,也可以由UE、RAN、AMF、SMF、UPF中的单元或模块(例如,电路、芯片、片上系统(system on chip,SOC)等)执行,下面以执行主体为UE、RAN、AMF、SMF、UPF为例进行描述。
图5所示的方法可以包括以下内容的至少部分内容。
步骤501,UE向UPF发送上行业务数据包。相应地,UPF接收来自UE的数据包。
步骤502,UPF根据接收到的数据包,判断UE是否在访问媒体业务。
可选地,UPF可以根据来自SMF的PDR包检测规则,确定UE是否正在访问媒体业务。例如,UPF根据目标服务器IP地址、端口号以及协议类型等,确定UE是否正在访问媒体业务。
若UPF检测到UE正在访问媒体业务,UPF可以进一步执行步骤503。
步骤503,UPF根据接收到的数据包的大小(或者称为数据包的负载情况),确定UE是否在请求媒体分片。
在一些实现方式中,UPF根据接收到的数据包的大小、以及预设条件,确定UE是否在请求媒体分片。其中,预设条件可以为数据包的大小大于第一负载门限值,或者,数据包的大小小于第二负载门限值,或者,数据包的大小大于第一负载门限值且小于第二负载门限值等。
由于媒体业务的上行数据包除了TCP层的确认反馈(acknowledgement,ACK),基本上就是媒体分片请求消息,因此,UPF可以根据接收到的数据包的大小判断UE是否在请求下一个媒体分片。例如,当数据包的大小大于第一负载门限值时,UPF可以确定UE在请求媒体分片。又例如,数据包的大小小于第二负载门限值时,UPF可以确定UE在请求媒体分片。又例如,数据包的大小大于第一负载门限值且小于第二负载门限值时,UPF可以确定UE在请求媒体分片。
UPF确定数据包的大小的方式有很多,例如,UPF可以根据数据包的IP头部的总长度(total length)字段来确定数据包的大小,或者根据数据包所占的存储空间来确定数据包的大小,或者通过其他可以确定数据包大小或者数据包负载情况的方式,本申请实施例不作具体限定。
当确定UE在请求媒体分片时,UPF可以向接入网设备发送第二指示信息,向接入网设备指示UE在请求媒体分片。UPF向接入网设备发送第二指示信息的方式有很多,本申请实施例不作具体限定。例如,UPF可以通过如图5所示的方式1或方式2向接入网设备发送第二指示信息。
方式1:步骤504-505
步骤504,UPF向SMF发送第二指示信息。相应地,SMF接收来自UPF的第二指示信息。

步骤505,SMF在接收到UPF发送的第二指示信息后,将第二指示信息发送给接入网设备。
可选地,SMF可以通过N2SM消息将第二指示信息发送给接入网设备。
在该方式中,UPF通过SMF向接入网设备发送第二指示信息。
方式2:步骤506
在该方式中,UPF可以直接向接入网设备发送第二指示信息。例如,UPF可以将第二指示信息携带在下行数据的GTP层,通过发送下行数据将第二指示信息发送给接入网设备。
其中,下行数据可以是下行的数据包、UPF构造的空包(或称空数据包)等。
步骤507,在接收到第二指示信息后,接入网设备可以根据第二指示信息确定UE在请求媒体分片。
步骤508,接入网设备估计媒体分片的数据量。
在一些实现方式中,接入网设备可以根据当前的网络状况和业务信息中至少一个码率标识信息对应的网络需求信息、和/或用于辅助选择码率的信息,确定第一码率,并根据第一码率、以及业务信息中至少一个码率标识信息对应的数据量,确定第一码率对应的数据量,即媒体分片的数据量的估计值。其中,网络需求信息可以是带宽需求、时延需求、速率需求等。
在另一些实现方式中,用户设备可以上报请求的码率,即接入网设备可以从用户设备获取第一码率,并根据第一码率、以及业务信息中至少一个码率标识信息对应的数据量,确定第一码率对应的数据量,即媒体分片的数据量的估计值。
在另一些实现方式中,在确定用户设备在请求媒体分片的情况下,接入网设备可以直接根据最大码率对应的网络需求信息和/或最大码率对应的数据量,确定媒体分片的数据量。
步骤509,接入网设备根据步骤508确定的数据量为下一个媒体分片预留传输资源。其中,上述传输资源可以为空口传输资源。
在另一些实现方式中,接入网设备可以根据步骤508确定的数据量和时间信息,为下一个媒体分片预留传输资源。其中,时间信息用于指示下一个媒体分片的到达时间的估计值。也就是说,接入网设备在确定传输资源时,还可以考虑媒体分片的到达时间,有助于提高传输资源的利用率。
时间信息可以是接入网设备确定的,例如,时间信息为接入网设备自行设定的经验值。时间信息还可以是接入网设备从其他网元获取的,例如,时间信息为来自UPF的经验值或者是来自外部应用服务器的。
需要说明的是,若UPF检测到UE正在访问媒体业务,且SMF未在如图4所示的PDU会话建立流程或PDU会话修改流程中未将上述与媒体业务传输相关的信息发送至接入网设备或UE时,还可以执行步骤510和511。
步骤510,UPF向SMF发送第五指示信息。相应地,SMF接收UPF发送的第五指示信息。其中,第五指示信息用于指示UPF检测到媒体业务。
步骤511,在接收到第五指示信息后,SMF可以向接入网设备或UE发送上述与媒体业务传输相关的信息中的部分或全部信息。例如,SMF可以向接入网设备发送业务信息、门限信息和第三指示信息。又例如,SMF可以向UE发送第七指示信息。
通过上述技术方案,UPF能够根据接收到的上行数据包的负载状况判断UE是否在进行下一个媒体分片的请求,从而确定UE侧的媒体请求行为并指示给接入网设备,使得接入网设备可以进行空口无线资源的预调度,为后续下行媒体分片的下发传输提供保障。
2、由接入网设备检测UE是否在请求新的媒体分片

步骤603,当确定UE在请求媒体分片时,接入网设备可以估计媒体分片的数据量。
步骤604,接入网设备根据步骤603确定的数据量为下一个媒体分片预留传输资源。其中,上述传输资源可以为空口传输资源。
步骤603和步骤604的实现方式可以参考步骤508和步骤509的描述,在此不再赘述。

通过上述技术方案,接入网设备能够根据接收到的上行数据包的负载状况判断UE是否在进行下一个媒体分片的请求,从而确定UE侧的媒体请求行为,并进一步根据相应的 网络需求信息,进行空口无线资源的预调度,为后续下行媒体分片的下发传输提供保障。
3、由UE向接入网设备指示请求特定码率的媒体分片
图7是本申请实施例提供的传输媒体业务的方法的示意性流程图。图7所示的方法可以由UE、RAN、AMF、SMF、UPF、PCF、AF/AS执行,也可以由UE、RAN、AMF、SMF、UPF、PCF、AF/AS中的单元或模块(例如,电路、芯片、SOC等)执行,下面以执行主体为UE、RAN、AMF、SMF、UPF、PCF、AF/AS为例进行描述。

步骤701,用户设备请求媒体分片。
例如,用户设备确定需要请求新的媒体分片时,发送媒体分片请求消息。
在确定需要请求新的媒体分片后,用户设备可以向接入网设备发送第一指示信息和第四指示信息,其中,第一指示信息用于指示用户设备请求媒体分片,第四指示信息用于指示用户设备请求的码率。
在一些实现方式中,用户设备可以根据当前的网络状况、以及标识信息对应的网络需求信息确定请求媒体分片的码率,或者用户设备可以根据当前的网络状况、标识信息对应的网络需求信息、以及用于辅助码率选择的信息确定请求媒体分片的码率。
需要说明的是,第一指示信息和第四指示信息可以为同一个信息,例如,用户设备可以通过一个信息位,表示UE请求的媒体分片的码率以及UE正在请求对应码率的媒体分片。第一指示信息和第四指示信息可以为不同的信息,例如,用户设备使用两个信息位,一个用于指示该UE正在请求媒体分片,另一个指示该UE请求的媒体分片的码率。
UE发送第一指示信息和第四指示信息的方式有很多,本申请实施例不作具体限定。例如,可以通过如图7所示的方式1、方式2和方式3来实现。

步骤705,在接收到第一指示信息和第四指示信息后,SMF将第一指示信息和第四指示信息发送给接入网设备。
例如,SMF可以通过N2SM消息将第一指示信息和第四指示信息发送给接入网设备。
在该方式中,用户设备通过UPF和SMF向接入网设备发送第一指示信息和第四指示信息。
