具体实施方式
图1示出了本申请一个示例性实施例提供的通信系统的架构示意图。如图1所示，该系 统架构100可以包括：用户设备(User Equipment，UE)、无线接入网(Radio Access Network，RAN)、核心网(Core)和数据网络(Data Network，DN)构成。其中，UE、RAN、Core是构成架构的主要成分，逻辑上它们可以分为用户面和控制面两部分，控制面负责移动网络的管理，用户面负责业务数据的传输。在图1中，NG2参考点位于RAN控制面和Core控制面之间，NG3参考点位于RAN用户面和Core用户面之间，NG6参考点位于Core用户面和数据网络之间。
UE：是移动用户与网络交互的入口，能够提供基本的计算能力、存储能力，向用户显示业务窗口，接受用户操作输入。UE会采用下一代空口技术，与RAN建立信号连接、数据连接，从而传输控制信号和业务数据到移动网络。
RAN：类似于传统网络里面的基站，部署在靠近UE的位置，为小区覆盖范围的授权用户提供入网功能，并能够根据用户的级别，业务的需求等使用不同质量的传输隧道传输用户数据。RAN能够管理自身的资源，合理利用，按需为UE提供接入服务，把控制信号和用户数据在UE和核心网之间转发。
Core：负责维护移动网络的签约数据，管理移动网络的网元，为UE提供会话管理、移动性管理、策略管理、安全认证等功能。在UE附着的时候，为UE提供入网认证；在UE有业务请求时，为UE分配网络资源；在UE移动的时候，为UE更新网络资源；在UE空闲的时候，为UE提供快恢复机制；在UE去附着的时候，为UE释放网络资源；在UE有业务数据时，为UE提供数据路由功能，如转发上行数据到DN；或者从DN接收UE下行数据，转发到RAN，从而发送给UE。
DN：是为用户提供业务服务的数据网络，一般客户端位于UE，服务端位于数据网络。数据网络可以是私有网络，如局域网，也可以是不受运营商管控的外部网络，如Internet，还可以是运营商共同部署的专有网络，如为了配置IP多媒体网络子系统(IP Multimedia Core Network Subsystem，IMS)服务。
图2是在图1的基础上确定的详细架构，其中核心网用户面包括用户面功能(User Plane Function，UPF)；核心网控制面包括认证服务器功能(Authentication Server Function，AUSF)、接入和移动管理(Access and Mobility Management Function，AMF)、会话管理(Session Management Function，SMF)、网络切片选择功能(Network Slice Selection Function，NSSF)、网络开放功能(Network Exposure Function，NEF)、网络功能仓储功能(NF Repository Function，NRF)、统一数据管理(Unified Data Management，UDM)、策略控制功能(Policy Control Function，PCF)、应用功能(Application Function，AF)。这些功能实体的功能如下：
UPF：根据SMF的路由规则执行用户数据包转发；
AUSF：执行UE的安全认证；
AMF：UE接入和移动性管理；
SMF：UE会话管理；
NSSF：为UE选择网络切片；
NEF：以API接口的方式向第三方开放网络功能；
NRF：为其他网元提供网络功能实体信息的存储功能和选择功能；
UDM：用户签约上下文管理；
PCF：用户策略管理；
AF：用户应用管理。
在图2所示架构中，N1接口为UE与AMF之间的参考点；N2接口为RAN和AMF的参考点，用于NAS消息的发送等；N3接口为RAN和UPF之间的参考点，用于传输用户面的数据等；N4接口为SMF和UPF之间的参考点，用于传输例如N3连接的隧道标识信息、数据缓存指示信息，以及下行数据通知消息等信息；N6接口为UPF和DN之间的参考点， 用于传输用户面的数据等。下一代(Next Generation，NG)接口：无线接入网和5G核心网之间的接口。
需要说明的是，图1和图2中的各个网元之间的接口名称只是一个示例，具体实现中接口的名称可能为其他的名称，本申请实施例对此不作具体限定。图1和图2中包括的各个网元(比如SMF、AF、UPF等)的名称也仅是一个示例，对网元本身的功能不构成限定。在5G以及未来其它的网络中，上述各个网元也可以是其他的名称，本申请实施例对此不作具体限定。例如，在6G网络中，上述各个网元中的部分或全部可以沿用5G中的术语，也可能采用其他名称，等等，在此进行统一说明，以下不再赘述。此外，应理解，上述各个网元之间的所传输的消息(或信令)的名称也仅仅是一个示例，对消息本身的功能不构成任何限定。
在本申请实施例中，为非GBR QoS流定义了快速变化的QoS通知控制(Quick Change QoS Notification Control，QCQNC)机制。QCQNC机制是QNC的一种，可简称为QNC。在本申请实施例提供的QCQNC机制中，接入网在检测到非GBR QoS流的至少一个QoS参数发生快速变化时，向SMF发送快速变化通知。SMF向PCF、AF以及UE发送快速变化通知。AF和UE在接收到快速变化通知后，对自身内部的应用程序进行调整，使得应用程序来适应该变化，以防止卡顿等影响业务体验QoE(Quality of Experience)的现象出现。
QoS流是PUD会话中最小的QoS区分粒度。5G系统中使用QoS流ID(QFI)来区分QoS流。QoS流被SMF控制，QoS流可以预配置或者在PDU会话建立流程中建立，或者在PDU会话修改流程中修改。
在本申请实施例中，为非GBR QoS流定义了如下的QoS特性：
·5G QoS标识(5G QoS Identifier，5QI)、分配和维持优先级(Allocation and Retention Priority，ARP)、反射QoS特性(Reflective QoS Attribute，RQA)。
·且对应于非GBR QoS流的5QI，只定义了如下的QoS特性：
·资源类型(Resource Type)；
分为：GBR、时延关键GBR或非GBR。
·优先级(Priority Level)；
·分组数据时延(Packet Delay Budget，PDB)；
分组数据时延(预算)，包含核心网的分组时延。
·分组误码率(Packet Error Rate，PER)；
在这4个QoS特性中，前面的两个参数Resource Type，Priority Level是定义5QI的特性，而后面的两个参数PDB和PER则是定义5QI的性能。
在本申请实施例中，提出QoS QNC的Profile(特性)是有关NGBF(Non GBR QoS Flow)的三个参数PDB，PER及当前传输速率(Current Bit Rate，CBR)。当RAN检测到这三个参数中的任何一个参数值增加或减少一个变化率(或，增加或减少一个变化值)超过了一个指定门限(由于不同的参数的性质不一样，对于每个参数，其对应的变化率或变化值都是不同的)，则向SMF发送通知消息，并且通知所有参数变化的变化率或变化值。SMF向PCF发送通知消息，PCF向AF发送通知消息，AF对应的应用程序则作相应的调整。同时SMF通过NAS消息向UE发送通知消息，UE对应的应用程序也可以有作相应的调整，从而实现了网络与应用的交互，实现了业务传输的优化，解决网络出现拥塞时的卡顿，或当网络条件变好之后，应用程序仍然使用非常低的传输速率，不能充分利用网络资源，却不能提升用户的体验。
在一个实施例中，参数变化的定义有两种：
1、变化值；
在参数值从A变化到B时，定义B-A为变化值。需要注意的是，假设参数值从A变化到B时的变化值为第一变化值，从B变回到A时的变化值为第二变化值，则第一变化值和第二变化值的幅值相同(不考虑正负)。
2、变化率。
在一种可能的设计中，在参数值从A变化到B时，定义(B-A)/A为变化值。需要注意的是，假设参数值从A变化到B时的变化率为第一变化率(B-A)/A，从B变回到A时的变化率为第二变化率(A-B)/B，则第一变化率和第二变化率的幅值相同(不考虑正负)。
即(B-A)/A不等于(A-B)/B的幅值(假设B>A>0)。因此在上述定义中，参数值A上升30％到参数值B后，然后参数值B下降30％之后，并不是恢复到参数值A。
在另一种可能的设计中，为了让同一参数值在先上升30％再下降30％后，是表示恢复到同一参数值，则将变化率统一定义为参数值变化前后的(较大值–较小值)/较小值，或变化率统一定义为参数值变化前后的(较大值–较小值)/较大值，或变化率统一定义为参数值变化前后的(较大值–较小值)/一固定值。其中，较大值是变化前后的参数值中绝对值较大的一个，较小值是变化前后的参数值中绝对值较小的一个，一固定值是事先确定的一个数值不变的值。这样，参数值A先上升30％，再下降30％时，则恢复到原参数值A了。
在一个实施例中，提供了如下通信协议：
QoS配置
一个QoS流是GBR或非GBR受其QoS配置决定。QoS流的QoS配置被发送至(R)AN，包含以下QoS参数(QoS参数的详细信息在标准TS23.501的5.7.2小节定义)。
-每一个QoS流，QoS配置要包含的QoS参数；
-5QI；和，
-ARP；
-仅对每个非GBR的QoS流，QoS配置可以还包含的QoS参数：
-QCQNC；
-RQA；
-仅对每个GBR的QoS流，QoS配置可以还包含的QoS参数：
-保证的流比特率(Guaranteed Flow Bit Rate，GFBR)-上行和下行，和，
-最大流比特率(Maximum Flow Bit Rate，MFBR)-上行和下行；和，
-仅对GBR QoS流，QoS配置可以还包含一个或者更多的QoS参数；
-通知控制；
-最大丢包率-上行和下行。
在一个实施例中，提供了QoS快速变化通知控制配置(QoS Quick Change Notification control Profile)。
QoS快速变化通知控制配置是为启用快速变化通知控制的非GBR QoS流提供的。如果相应的PCC规则包含相关信息(如通信协议TS 23.503中所述)，则SMF除QoS配置文件外，还应向NG-RAN提供快速变化通知控制配置。如果SMF向NG-RAN提供了快速变化通知控制配置(如果相应的策略控制和计费(Policy and Charging Control Rule，PCC)规则信息发生了变化)，则NG-RAN将用它替换之前存储的配置。
快速变化通知控制配置表示任何QoS参数PDB，PER和检测到的CBR(当前比特率)的快速变化，这将有助于应用程序根据变化后的QoS参数来控制应用程序流量。快速变化通知控制配置表示(PDR，PER，CBR)在短时间内的(20％，10％，30％)快速变化(增加或减少)，并且变化后的新值能够持续保持，即这种快速变化不是由于突发冲击干扰等原因所造成了短而快的刺峰。
注意：快速变化通知控制配置可以是PDB，PER，CBR的任何变化组合，例如，快速变化通知控制配置可以将增加(或减少)的PDR设置为20％；也可以是增加(或减少)的PDR和PER设置为20％，增加(或减少)的CBR为10％；或者增加(或减少)的CBR为30％。
当NG-RAN向SMF发送满足QCQNC配置的快速变化通知时，NG-RAN还应通知消息中包括当前的QoS参数(PDB，PER)和CBR。
图3是本申请一个示例性实施例提供的应用程序的控制方法的流程图。本实施例以该方法应用于图1或图2所示的终端中来举例说明。该方法包括：
步骤320：终端接收核心网实体发送的非GBR承载流的变化后的QNC的参数值；
非GBR承载流是指非GBR类型的承载流。非GBR承载流包括：非GBR QoS流，或，非GBR EPS承载。示例性的，在5G系统中，非GBR承载流是非GBR类型的QoS流；在4G系统中，非GBR承载流是非GBR类型的演进的分组系统(Evolved Packet System，EPS)承载。
示例性的，QNC(或称QCQNC)的参数包括如下至少一种：PDB、PER、CBR。在QNC的参数包括至少两种的情况下，存在至少两种参数对应的上报条件相同；和/或，存在至少两种参数对应的上报条件不同。
示例性的，上报条件(或称变化门限、变化上报门限)包括如下至少一种：
·QNC的参数在第一时长内的变化值大于第一阈值；
第一阈值是大于0且小于1的小数。比如，该第一阈值是20％、30％和40％。第一时长是用于计算变化值的周期或时长，比如1秒、2秒。
·QNC的参数在第二时长内的变化率大于第二阈值；
第二阈值是大于0且小于1的小数。比如，该第二阈值是20％、30％和40％。第二时长是用于计算变化率的周期或时长，比如1秒、2秒。
·QNC的参数在第一时长内的变化值大于第一阈值，且持续保持第三阈值；
第三阈值是用于衡量变化值的保持时长的阈值，比如2秒。
·QNC的参数在第二时长内的变化率大于第二阈值，且持续保持第四阈值。
第四阈值是用于衡量变化率的保持时长的阈值，比如2秒。
变化后的QNC的参数值是指：在QNC的参数发生快速变化后，QNC的参数的当前参数值。该“当前”是相对概念，并不是绝对意义上的当前。比如，当前参数值是在触发上报条件时的参数值，并不一定等于发送通知消息后的实时参数值。
在一些实施例中，变化后的QNC的参数值使用量化值来表示。比如，将QNC的取值范围划分为16个不重叠的子区间。16个子区间中的每个子区间对应有唯一的量化值，该量化值采用四个比特来表示。当变化后的QNC的参数值属于第i个子区间的情况下，使用第i个子区间对应的量化值来表示，该量化值仅需4个比特即可，能够降低通知消息所需要的传输资源。
其中，变化后的QNC的参数值是核心网实体接收到接入网发送的通知消息后发送的；通知消息用于表示非GBR承载流的QNC的参数值的变化满足上报条件；
步骤340：终端根据变化后的QNC的参数值控制应用程序。
终端根据变化后的QNC的参数值控制应用程序的计算策略和流量策略中的至少一种，以使得应用程序适应非GBR承载流的QNC的参数的快速变化。
终端上运行有一个或多个应用程序，同一个应用程序对应至少一个业务数据流(Service Data Flow，SDF)。具有不同QoS需求的SDF会分别映射至独立的QoS流，比如具有第一QoS需求的SDF会映射至第一QoS流，具有第二QoS需求的SDF会映射至第二QoS流。可选地，具有相同QoS需求的SDF可以映射至相同的QoS流。
在本申请实施例中，假设一个应用程序对应的一个或多个QoS流中包括有非GBR QoS流，该非GBR QoS流用于传输语音、视频、文本、消息、文件、控制信息等业务中的至少一种业务的数据包。
综上所述，本实施例提供的方法，在非GBR承载流的QNC的参数的增加/减少满足上报条件时，通过核心网实体向终端发送变化后的QNC的参数值，终端在接收到变化后的QNC的参数值后，根据变化后的QNC的参数值控制应用程序，从而针对非GBR承载流提供了QNC机制，使得终端能够获知非GBR承载流的无线网络状态的变化，进而主动地控制应用程序的运行来适应该变化。比如控制应用程序的计算策略和流量策略，使得在QNC的参数变差的情况下，或者，由差恢复为好的情况下，应用实体能够调整应用程序来适应该参数变化下的网络传输。
图4是本申请一个示例性实施例提供的应用程序的控制方法的流程图。本实施例以该方法应用于图1或图2所示的核心网实体中来举例说明。该方法包括：
步骤420：核心网实体接收接入网发送的通知消息；
通知消息用于表示非GBR承载流的QNC的参数值的变化满足上报条件，通知消息携带有非GBR承载流的变化后的QNC的参数值。也即在QNC的参数发生快速变化后，QNC的参数的当前参数值。该“当前”是相对概念，并不是绝对意义上的当前。比如，当前参数值是在触发上报条件时的参数值，并不一定等于发送通知消息后的实时参数值。
示例性的，变化后的QNC的参数值可以使用变化后的QNC的参数值的量化值来表示。比如，将QNC的取值范围划分为16个不重叠的子区间。16个子区间中的每个子区间对应有唯一的量化值，该量化值采用四个比特来表示。当变化后的QNC的参数值属于第i个子区间的情况下，使用第i个子区间对应的量化值来表示，该量化值仅需4个比特即可，能够降低通知消息所需要的传输资源。
步骤440：核心网实体向终端发送变化后的QNC的参数值，以便终端根据变化后的QNC的参数值控制应用程序。
综上所述，本实施例提供的方法，在非GBR承载流的QNC的参数的增加/减少满足上报条件时，通过核心网实体向终端发送变化后的QNC的参数值，终端在接收到变化后的QNC的参数值后，根据变化后的QNC的参数值控制应用程序，比如控制应用程序的计算策略和流量策略，使得在QNC的参数变差的情况下，或者，由差恢复为好的情况下，终端能够调整自身内部的应用程序来适应该参数变化，从而达到对应用程序的运行进行优化，减少卡顿现象的发生。
图5是本申请一个示例性实施例提供的应用程序的控制方法的流程图。本实施例以该方法应用于图1或图2所示的通信系统中来举例说明。该方法包括：
步骤520：接入网在非GBR承载流的QNC的参数的变化满足上报条件时，向核心网实体发送通知消息；
核心网实体接收接入网发送的通知消息。该通知消息用于指示非GBR承载流的QNC的参数的变化满足上报条件。
对应的，核心网实体接收接入网发送的通知消息。
步骤540：核心网实体向终端发送变化后的QNC的参数值；
核心网实体为一个或多个。在通知消息涉及位于RAN和UE之间的多个核心网实体时，多个核心网实体依次传输该通知消息，不同核心网实体可以采用不同类型的消息携带该通知消息。比如，核心网实体包括：移动性管理实体(Mobility Management Entity，MME)和PCF，则通知消息的传输路径至少包括RAN→MME→SGW/PGW→UE；又比如，核心网实体包括：第一核心网实体AMF、第二核心网实体SMF和第三核心网实体PCF，则通知消息的传输路径至少包括RAN→AMF→SMF→UE。
以核心网实体是SMF为例，SMF在收到接入网的通知消息后，向UE发送变化后的QNC的参数值。
示例性的，SMF在接收到通知消息后的预定时长内没有接收到PCF发送的新PCC规则时，向终端发送变化后的QNC的参数值。
示例性的，SMF在接收到通知消息后的预定时长内接收到PCF发送的新PCC规则，且新PCC规则不存在对QoS配置有修改时，向终端发送变化后的QNC的参数值。
变化后的QNC的参数值是通过RAN从核心网设备透传至终端的。
可选地，核心网实体向UE发送NAS消息，终端接收核心网实体发送的NAS消息，NAS消息携带有变化后的QNC的参数值。
可选地，核心网实体向终端发送PDU会话修改命令，终端接收核心网实体发送的PDU会话修改命令，PDU会话修改命令携带有变化后的QNC的参数值。
步骤560：终端根据变化后的QNC的参数值控制应用程序。
UE根据变化后的QNC的参数值控制应用程序的计算策略和流量策略中的至少一种，以使得应用程序适应非GBR承载流的相关参数的快速变化。
以在线会议的UE侧的应用程序为例，该应用程序对应有4个SDF：语音SDF、视频SDF、文本消息SDF和控制面SDF。4个SDF对应4个非GBR QoS流，针对4个非GBR QoS流分别启用QNC机制。
第一种可能的实现方式：
响应于变化后的QNC的参数值变差，控制应用程序按照第一计算策略执行；
响应于变化后的QNC的参数值变优，控制应用程序按照第二计算策略执行；
其中，相同计算任务在第一计算策略下的计算时长小于在第二计算策略下的计算时长。
计算策略是与应用程序的运行计算有关的策略。计算策略包括但不限于：编解码方式的选择策略、编解码模型的选择策略、编解码等级的选择策略、压缩级别的选择策略、神经网络模型的选择策略中的至少一种。
以计算策略包括编解码方式的选择为例，响应于变化后的QNC的参数值变差，控制应用程序采用第一编解码方式进行编解码；响应于变化后的QNC的参数值变优，控制应用程序采用第二编解码方式进行编解码。此处的“编解码”是指编码和解码中的至少一种。
其中，相同编解码任务在第一编解码策略下的计算时长小于在第二编解码策略下的计算时长。
例如，在PDR变大时，虽然网络时延变大，但是应用程序通过减少内部的计算时长来弥补网络时延的恶化，仍然能够保证整体的传输时延不变或变化很小。比如，与视频对应的非GBR QoS流的PDR变差，则降低视频的编码码率，以减少视频数据包的数量和/或大小。
第二种可能的实现方式：
响应于变化后的QNC的参数值变差，控制应用程序按照第一流量策略执行；
响应于变化后的QNC的参数值变优，控制应用程序按照第二流量策略执行；
其中，所述第一流量策略的流量少于所述第二流量策略的流量。
示例性的，应用程序的流量包括语音数据包和视频数据包；
响应于变化后的QNC的参数值变差，保持语音数据包对应的第一流量，减少视频数据包对应的第二流量；响应于变化后的QNC的参数值变优，保持语音数据包对应的第一流量，增加视频数据包对应的第二流量。
例如，在PDR变大时，降低与视频对应的第一非GBR QoS流的流量，保持与语音对应的第二非GBR QoS流的流量，从而整体上占用更少的无线资源，以增加语音数据包的传输质量以及减少干扰。
这是由于在基于云的应用(视频会议，语音会议，远程教学)中，通常是需要视频和语 音的双向交互。对网络传输时延有一定要求(通常要单向传输时延<150ms)，但在实际的使用过程中，由于无线网络状态的变化，在一段时间内(如一个5秒的时间内)，无线网络的传输时延突然变差，或传输的速率突然变小，造成音视频的卡顿。
而相关研究表明，用户对音频的卡顿非常敏感，而对于视频的质量变化(如分辨率的变化，清晰的变化)并不是太敏感(且在保留语音的情形下，暂时关闭一下视频都是可以接受的)。对于音频一般由于其传输数据较小，不大经常出现卡顿。但若音频出现卡顿，则用户的体验非常不好。另外，即便音频从CD的质量往下降低到非常低的传输率(如2G语音传输质量)，但只要不出现卡顿，用户仍然有非常好的使用体验。
综上所述，本实施例提供的方法，通过UE根据变化后的QNC的参数值来调整应用程序，使得在非GBR承载流的相关参数变差的情况下，或者，非GBR承载流的相关参数由差恢复为好的情况下，UE能够调整自身内部的应用程序来适应该参数变化，从而达到对应用程序的运行进行优化。
本实施例提供的方法，还通过在非GBR承载流的相关参数变差的情况下，改变应用程序的计算策略，通过减少应用程序内部的计算时长来弥补网络时延的恶化，仍然能够保证整体的传输时延不变或变化很小。
本实施例提供的方法，还通过在非GBR承载流的相关参数变差的情况下，改变应用程序的流量策略，比如保持语音数据包的流量，减少视频数据包的流量，能够避免出现对用户体验影响较大的音频的卡顿，从而尽可能提升用户在使用音视频程序时的用户体验。
在非GBR承载流的建立过程或修改过程中，由核心网实体向接入网进行QNC的配置过程。也即，核心网实体向接入网发送QNC配置，QNC配置用于配置QNC的参数以及上报条件(或称变化门限、快速变化门限、变化上报门限、快速变化上报门限)。
图6是本申请一个示例性实施例提供的QNC的配置方法的流程图。本实施例以该方法应用于图1或图2所示的通信系统中来举例说明。该方法包括：
步骤620：第三核心网实体PCF向第二核心网实体SMF发送QNC的参数以及上报条件；
第三核心网实体是核心网中负责策略管理的实体。
第二核心网实体是核心网中负责会话管理的实体。
示例性的，在非GBR承载流的建立过程或修改过程中，第三核心网实体PCF向第二核心网实体SMF发送QNC的参数以及上报条件。
示例性的，在建立PDU会话的过程中，会建立(第)一个QoS流，这个QoS流称为基于默认QoS规则的QoS流(QoS Flow with Default QoS Rules)。一般而言，这个QoS流是非GBR类型的，第三核心网实体可以向第二核心网实体提供QNC的参数以及上报条件。
示例性的，该QNC的参数以及上报条件是第三核心网实体PCF自行确定的；或者，该QNC的参数以及上报条件是第三核心网实体PCF基于应用实体发送的业务流信息确定的；或者，该QNC的参数以及上报条件是第三核心网实体PCF基于UE的签约数据确定的。
步骤640：第二核心网实体SMF接收第三核心网实体PCF发送的PCC规则；
步骤660：第二核心网实体向接入网发送QNC配置(QNC Profile)，QNC配置用于向接入网配置QNC的参数以及上报条件。
综上所述，本实施例提供的方法，通过由第三核心网实体向第二核心网实体发送QNC的参数以及上报条件，能够触发第二核心网实体为非GBR承载流配置QNC的参数以及上报条件，完成QNC的配置过程。
在一种设计中，应用实体向第三核心网实体提供业务流信息，业务流信息中携带有应用实体需要(或建议)的QNC的参数以及上报条件，如图7所示。在另一种设计中，第三核心网实体基于QNC签约数据来确定QNC的参数以及上报条件，如图8所示。
图7是本申请另一个示例性实施例提供的QNC的配置方法的流程图。本实施例以该方法应用于图1或图2所示的通信系统中来举例说明。该方法包括：
步骤612：应用实体AF向第三核心网实体PCF发送业务流信息，业务流信息携带有QNC的控制参数；
QNC的控制参数包括：是否使能QNC、QNC的参数、变化门限中的至少一种。
步骤620：第三核心网实体PCF向第二核心网实体SMF发送PCC规则，PCC规则携带有QNC的控制参数；
步骤640：第二核心网实体SMF接收第三核心网实体PCF发送的PCC规则；
步骤660：第二核心网实体向接入网发送QNC配置，QNC配置用于向接入网配置QNC的控制参数。
综上所述，本实施例提供的方法，通过由应用实体向第三核心网实体提供QNC的控制参数，能够实现应用实体与核心网实体的主动交互，由应用实体来驱动无线接入网络(如5G，4G的RAN)报告非GBR承载流的快速变化，从而由无线接入网络向应用实体开放了其网络能力，为互联网应用的创新提供了新的途径。
图8是本申请另一个示例性实施例提供的QNC的配置方法的流程图。本实施例以该方法应用于图1或图2所示的通信系统中来举例说明。该方法包括：
步骤614：第四核心网实体UDM向第三核心网实体PCF发送QNC签约数据，QNC签约数据携带有QNC的控制参数；
若默认5QI是NGBR类型，则增加QNC签约数据。第四核心网实体UDM将QNC签约数据发送给第二核心网实体SMF，第二核心网实体SMF将QNC签约数据发送给第三核心网实体PCF。
步骤620：第三核心网实体PCF向第二核心网实体SMF发送默认QoS规则，默认QoS规则携带有QNC的控制参数；
步骤640：第二核心网实体SMF接收第三核心网实体PCF发送的默认PCC规则；
步骤660：第二核心网实体向接入网发送QNC配置，QNC配置用于向接入网配置QNC的控制参数。
综上所述，本实施例提供的方法，通过第三核心网实体基于UE的签约数据来确定QNC的控制参数，使得在无AF提供QNC的控制参数的情况下，也能够实现基于UE的签约数据驱动无线接入网络向UE报告非GBR承载流的快速变化。
下面结合第三代合作伙伴项目(Third Generation Partnership Project，3GPP)的通信协议(TS23.502)对上述过程进行更详细的阐述。下述附图中网元名称、步骤流程和步骤介绍的详细内容，均可参考TS23.502(https://www.3gpp.org/ftp/Specs/archive/23_series/23.502)中的相关记载，本文受限于篇幅，着重介绍本申请实施例与TS23.502协议中不同的内容。
1.QNC的通知过程：
当UE所在的网络发生了变化，即基站检测到无线资源发生快速变化(变好或变差)。当这个变化达到QNC所定义的变化门限时，RAN会触发QNC的通知过程，向AF发送通知消息。可选地，该通知消息携带有变化后的QNC的参数的参数值(当前参数值)。基站先将通知消息发送给SMF，然后SMF再将通知消息发送至PCF，PCF再将通知消息发送至AF。
非漫游和本地疏导漫游场景：
图9示出了本申请的一个示例性实施例提供的UE或网络请求的PDU会话修改(用于非漫游和本地疏导漫游)流程的示意图。
在步骤1e中，RAN向AMF发送N2消息(PDU会话ID，SM信息)，AMF向SMF发送Namf_PDUSession_UpdateSMContext消息。
其中，步骤1a，步骤1b，步骤1c，步骤1d和1f都将不执行。
在非GBR承载流的QNC的参数满足上报条件时，这2个消息中携带有通知消息。可选地，通知消息还携带有变换后的QNC的参数值。
在步骤2中，SMF发起会话管理(Session Management，SM)策略关联修改流程，将通知消息发送至PCF以及AF。
在步骤5中，SMF向UE发送PDU会话修改命令，将变化后的QNC的参数值发送给UE。
示例性的，在SM收到通知消息的一段时间后，当SMF没有收到PCF新的PCC规则或收到的PCC规则，对于QNC对应的SDF的PCC规则没有对QoS方面有修改，则SMF向UE发起PDU会话修改命令，通知UE当前QNC对应的QFI的QNC的当前参数值(PDB，PER，CBR)。
在步骤9中，UE回应PDU会话修改确认。
其中，PDU会话修改命令与PDU会话修改确认是通过RAN在UE和SMF之间进行透明地传输。
上述步骤2所示出的SM策略关联修改流程由图10定义。如图10所示：
在步骤1中，SMF向PCF发送Npcf_SMPolicyControl_Update请求，该请求中携带有通知消息。
在步骤2中，PCF向AF发送事件报告Npcf_PolicyAuthorizationNotify请求，该事件报告中携带有通知消息。
2.QNC的配置过程；
2.1 非漫游和本地疏导漫游的PDU会话建立场景：
图11示出了本申请一个示例性实施例提供的UE请求的PDU会话建立流程的示意图。
在步骤7b和9中，SMF向PCF发送SM策略关联建立请求新消息，PCF向SMF发送SM策略关联建立响应消息，该消息中携带有QNC的控制参数；或者，SMF向PCF发送SM策略关联修改请求消息，PCF向SMF发送SM策略关联修改响应消息，该消息中携带有QNC的控制参数。
在建立PDU会话的过程中，会建立一个QoS流(通常是第一个)，这个QoS流称为基于默认QoS规则的QoS流(不再类似于4G的默认承载，5G不再使用默认QoS流来命名)。
一般而言，这个基于默认QoS规则是非GBR类型的，则PCF可以在PCC规则中包含QNC的控制参数。则可以在图11的步骤7b或9中，PCF提供Default QoS Rule中的5QI若是NGBR类型的，PCF可以向SMF提供QCQNC的控制参数。
在步骤11和12中，SMF向AMF发送Namf_Communication_N1N2信息转换消息，根据PCF提供的QCQNC的控制参数在该消息中携带有QNC配置。
可选地，UE的签约数据中包含有默认5QI与默认ARP。若默认5QI是NGBR类型的，则增加QNC签约数据。
在步骤4，7b和9中，UDM将包含QNC签约数据的消息提供给SMF，然后SMF将QNC签约数据提供给PCF，然后，PCF提供的默认QoS规则中包含QNC的控制参数。
PDU会话建立过程可用于N3GPP向3GPP的PDU会话切换。若在步骤7b,或9中，PCF为任一非GBR QoS流提供了QNC的控制参数，则类似于前面，在步骤11和12中增加QNC的控制参数。
需要注意的是，此处可能有多个非GBR QoS流的处理。
需要注意的是，步骤12的N2消息中的SM相关的参数是包含在步骤11中，因此在步骤11中包含有QNC的控制参数。
2.2 归属路由漫游场景：
图12示出了本申请一个示例性实施例提供的用于归属路由漫游场景的UE请求的PDU会话建立流程的流程图。
在建立PDU会话的过程中，会建立一个QoS流(通常是第一个)，这个QoS流称为基于默认QoS规则的QoS流(不再类似于4G的默认承载，5G不再使用默认QoS流来命名)。
一般而言，这个基于默认QoS规则是非GBR类型的，则PCF可以在PCC规则中包含QNC的控制参数。则可以在图12的步骤9b或11的消息中，PCF提供默认QoS规则中的5QI若是非GBR类型的，PCF可以提供QNC的控制参数。然后，在步骤13、14和15中的消息，增加QNC配置。
可选地，UE的签约数据中包含有默认5QI与默认ARP。若默认5QI是NGBR类型的，则增加QNC签约数据。
在步骤7，9b，11中UDM将包含QNC签约数据提供给SMF，SMF将QNC签约数据提供给PCF，然后，PCF提供的默认QoS规则中包含QNC的控制参数。
2.3 AF触发的QoS流建立流程，非漫游和本地疏导漫游场景：
图13示出了本申请一个示例性实施例提供的针对单个UE地址的AF请求转移到相关PCF流程的示意图。图14示出了本申请一个示例性实施例提供的用于非漫游和本地疏导漫游的UE或网络请求的PDU会话修改流程的示意图。
在图13的步骤4，AF向PCF发送Npcf_PolicyAuthorization_Create/Update消息，该消息包含的(一个或多个)媒体组件(Media Component)信息中增加QNC的控制参数。前面所说，若这个媒体组件中包含了QNC的控制参数，则是请求这个媒体在NGBF上传输的；若这个媒体组件中不包含QCQNC参数，则表明这个媒体是可以在NGBF上传输，也可以是在GBF(GBR QoS Flow,GBR服务质量数据流)上传输。
在图14的步骤1b中，PCF发送Npcf_SMPolicyControlUpdateNotify请求消息。在请求消息中，对(一个或多个)SDF(Service Data Flow，业务数据流，一个SDF对应于AF提供的一个媒体流)的PCC规则增加QNC的控制关参数。
相应的，在图14的步骤3b和4的消息中携带包括QNC的控制参数。
2.4 AF触发的QoS流建立流程，归属路由漫游场景：
图15示出了本申请一个示例性实施例提供的用于归属路由漫游的UE或网络请求的PDU会话修改流程的示意图。
在图15的步骤1b，步骤3,步骤4b,和步骤5是增加一个或多个QNC的控制参数(即每个可能的业务流，SDF，QoS Flow)。
在图15的步骤3是相对于图14所述场景的新增步骤，即在一个或多个QoS流的QoS参数上增加QNC的控制参数。
本申请提出的技术也可以应用于4G系统。在应用至4G系统时，NR-gNB用eNB代替。PCF与AF的交互，不作任何的改变。SMF与PCF的交互，修改为PGW与PCF的交互。5G的QoS Flow被4G的EPS Bearer代替。5G的5QI被4G QCI代替。5G中RAN与AMF/SMF的交互,被4G的RAN与MME交互代替。
