Description

一种传输信息的方法、装置以及系统
本申请要求于2021年10月15日提交中国国家知识产权局、申请号为202111203225.3、申请名称为“一种传输信息的方法、装置以及系统”的中国专利申请的优先权,其全部内容通过引用结合在本申请中。
技术领域
本申请涉及通信技术的领域,并且更具体地,涉及一种传输信息的方法、装置以及系统。
背景技术
随着移动通信技术的更新换代,通信网络将以灵活高效的方式构建。目前,现有技术中很多核心网设备基于终端设备当前的位置信息来判断是否需要给终端设备下发网络相关的配置信息,例如,现有技术中的本地数据网络(local area data network,LADN)方案,终端设备签约LADN对应的数据网络标识(data network name,DNN),核心网设备上配置LADN服务区域与LADN DNN的关系。其中,LADN服务区域由一组跟踪区域(tracking area,TA)标识,终端设备在向网络注册时,核心网设备根据终端设备的位置来判断该终端设备的TAI位于LADN的服务区域,则该终端设备可以从核心网获取LADN信息(如LADN服务区和LADN DNN)。再例如,现有技术中的网络切片的部署区域也是由TA粒度构成,终端设备在向网络注册时,可以携带终端设备请求接入的网络切片的标识信息,核心网设备根据终端设备的位置来判断该位置支持终端设备请求接入的网络切片,则该终端设备可以从核心网获取允许终端设备接入的网络切片的标识信息。
考虑实际部署需求,如果在场馆或者工厂位置部署LADN或者网络切片,TA粒度的部署对场馆或者工厂而言,覆盖区域太大,会造成部署成本过高,因此小粒度的部署区域(如小区粒度)更加适合场馆或者工厂区域,但是,核心网设备需要对大量终端设备进行持续定位流程,才能获取终端设备的细粒度的位置信息,将会造成大量的开销。因此,亟需一种传输信息的方法、装置以及系统,能够减少信令的开销。

应理解,图1和图2仅是示例性的一种网络架构,适用本申请实施例的网络架构并不局限于此,任何能够实现上述各个网元的功能的网络架构都适用于本申请实施例。
核心网设备可以基于终端设备当前的位置信息来判断是否需要给终端设备下发网络相关的配置信息。例如,终端设备签约本地数据网络(local area data network,LADN)对应的数据网络标识(data network name,DNN),核心网设备上配置LADN服务区域与 LADN DNN的关系。其中,LADN服务区域由一组跟踪区域(tracking area,TA)标识。终端设备在向网络注册时,核心网设备根据终端设备的位置来判断该终端设备的TAI位于LADN的服务区域,则该终端设备可以从核心网获取LADN信息(如LADN服务区和LADN DNN)。再例如,网络切片的部署区域也是由TA粒度构成,终端设备在向网络注册时,可以携带终端设备请求接入的网络切片的标识信息,核心网设备根据终端设备的位置来判断该位置支持终端设备请求接入的网络切片,则该终端设备可以从核心网获取允许终端设备接入的网络切片的标识信息。
考虑实际部署需求,例如在场馆或者工厂位置部署LADN或者网络切片,TA粒度的部署对场馆或者工厂而言,覆盖区域太大,会造成部署成本过高,因此小粒度的部署区域(如小区粒度)更加适合场馆或者工厂区域。然而在该场景,以及其他需要核心网设备根据终端设备的位置来确定终端网络配置的场景中,核心网设备往往需要对大量终端设备进行持续定位流程,才能获取终端设备的细粒度的位置信息,将会造成大量的开销。因此,亟需一种传输信息的方法、装置以及系统,能够减少信令的开销。

进行感知操作的设备可以是具有感知能力的接入网设备,也可以是具有感知能力的终端设备。
应理解,进行感知操作的设备可以是一个终端设备、或者一个接入网设备,也可以是多个终端设备、或者多个接入网设备,也可以是一个或多个终端设备和一个或多个接入网设备。为了清楚,以下分别对接入网设备进行感知操作以及终端设备进行感知操作进行举例,并不对此作出任何限定。

再例如,接入网设备与感知网元之间存在直接接口,接入网设备将自己的感知能力信息上报给感知网元。
从而,感知网元可以根据第一区域的位置信息以及至少一个接入网设备的感知能力信息确定需要进行感知操作的目标接入网设备。
需要说明的是,感知网元确定的目标接入网设备的总感知范围可以覆盖第一区域对应 的物理区域,若确定的目标接入网设备有多个,则其中一个目标接入网设备的感知范围区域可以与第一区域具有重叠的部分,可以小于该第一区域,也可以大于该第一区域,本申请对此不作限定。
S303,感知网元向目标接入网设备发送第一感知请求消息,该第一感知请求消息用于获取第一感知数据。

方式2:

S305,第一网元根据第一区域的位置信息确定目标接入网设备。
该目标接入网设备为需要上报感知数据的第一设备。
在一种可能的实现方式中,第一网元可以根据至少一个接入网设备的感知能力信息确定需要进行感知操作的目标接入网设备,该感知能力信息包括对应的接入网设备的感知范围。
该至少一个接入网设备可以向第一网元上报自己的感知能力信息。
例如,至少一个接入网设备通过Xn建立请求(Xn setup request)消息将感知能力信息上报给第一网元。
第一网元根据第一区域的位置信息确定目标接入网设备的方式与步骤S302中描述的类似,为了简便,在此不再赘述。
S306,第一网元向目标接入网设备发送第二感知请求消息,该第二感知请求消息用于获取第一感知数据。
该第二感知请求消息可以用于请求目标接入网设备在对应的感知范围内进行感知,以生成第一感知数据,有关第二感知请求消息的描述与步骤S303中描述的类似,为了简便,在此不再赘述。
S307,目标接入网设备进行感知操作,以生成第一感知数据。
接收到第二感知请求消息的目标接入网设备进行感知操作,例如,该目标接入网设备进行自发自收的回波检测,对周围的环境进行感知,例如,目标接入网设备感知行人或者 车辆,以生成第一感知数据。

以上是对具有感知能力的接入网设备进行感知操作进行介绍,以下对具有感知能力的终端设备进行感知操作进行介绍。
方式3:
该方法300包括步骤S308至S311。
S308,第一网元根据第一区域的位置信息确定目标接入网设备(第一设备中的一例)。
该目标接入网设备的数量可以是一个或者多个,该一个或者多个目标接入网设备的服务区域能够覆盖第一区域,也可以理解为,一个或者多个目标接入网设备位于第一区域内。
应理解,该目标接入网设备可以触发服务区域内的终端设备进行感知流程,或者说,该目标接入网设备可以不具备感知能力,其服务区域内的终端设备具有感知的能力,其服务区域内的终端设备的感知区域能够覆盖第一区域。

从而,在方式3中,第一网元确定合适的接入网设备,并向接入网设备发送感知请求消息,接入网设备根据感知请求消息发送广播消息,触发终端设备进行感知操作,以生成第一感知数据。
方式4:
该方法300包括步骤S312至S314。
S312,第一网元根据第一区域的位置信息确定目标终端设备(第一设备中的一例)。
该目标终端设备的数量可以是一个或多个,该一个或多个目标终端设备具有感知的能力。
在一种可能的方式中,第一网元可以根据第一区域的位置信息,以及上下文中存储的终端设备的位置信息(例如,用TAI来标识)确定该目标终端设备。
例如,第一网元可以根据上下文中存储的终端设备的位置信息,将第一区域附近或者靠近第一区域的终端设备确定为目标终端设备。
应理解,第一网元根据上下文中存储的终端设备的位置信息,并不能直接确定该终端 设备是否位于第一区域,第一网元需要后续的流程确定目标终端设备实际是否位于第一区域。例如,结合图4进行说明,假设第一区域的位置信息用小区标识(cell identity)来表示,第一网元在确定目标终端设备的过程中,第一网元首先根据第一区域对应的小区标识确定第一区域所在的跟踪区域,第一网元根据上下文中存储的终端设备的位置信息将位于该跟踪区域的终端设备选择为目标终端设备。如图4所示,假设第一区域对应的小区为小区#1,该小区#1属于跟踪区域#1,根据上下文中存储的终端设备的位置信息可以确定终端设备#1、终端设备#2和终端设备#3位于跟踪区域#1,从而,第一网元确定终端设备#1、终端设备#2和终端设备#3为目标终端设备。
S313,第一网元向目标终端设备发送第二感知请求消息,该第二感知请求消息用于获取第一感知数据。
在一种可能的实现方式中,第一网元通过NAS消息向目标终端设备发送该第二感知请求消息。

从而,在方式4中,第一网元确定合适的终端设备,并向终端设备发送感知请求消息,触发终端设备进行感知操作,以生成第一感知数据。
以上分别对第一感知数据生成的四种方式进行了介绍,第一设备需要将第一感知数据发送给感知网元。
S315,第一设备向感知网元发送第一感知数据,对应地,感知网元从第一设备接收第一感知数据。
若是目标接入网设备进行感知操作,生成第一感知数据,例如上述的方式1和方式2,目标接入网设备可以通过与感知网元之间的接口向感知网元发送第一感知数据,或者第一接入网设备可以通过UPF网元向感知网元发送第一感知数据,本申请对此不作特别限定。
若是目标终端设备进行感知操作,生成第一感知数据,例如上述的方式3和方式4,目标终端设备可以通过NAS消息将第一感知数据发送给第一网元,第一网元将第一感知数据发送给感知网元;或者,目标终端设备也可以通过对应的接入网设备将第一感知数据发送给UPF网元,UPF网元将第一感知数据发送给感知网元,本申请对此不作特别限定。
感知网元可以根据第一区域的位置信息和第一感知数据确定第一终端设备是否位于第一区域。
需要说明的是,第一终端设备的数量可以是一个或多个,第一终端设备是感知网元需要向第一网元上报的是否位于第一区域的终端设备,该第一终端设备可以与进行感知操作的目标终端设备为相同的终端设备,该第一终端设备也可以是与目标终端设备为不同的终端设备,例如,该第一终端设备为处于目标终端设备的感知范围内的终端设备。
S316,感知网元根据第一区域的位置信息和第一感知数据确定第一信息,该第一信息 用于指示第一终端设备位于第一区域。
在一种可能的实现方式中,该第一信息还用于指示第一终端设备的标识信息。
感知网元可以根据第一感知数据获取第一终端设备的标识信息,例如,第一感知数据中包括第一终端设备的特定信息(例如,车辆的车牌号码),感知网元可以根据该特定信息获取到第一终端设备的标识信息。
示例性地,第一终端设备的标识信息可以是用户永久标识(subscription permanent identifier,SUPI)或可被感知网元识别的其它内部终端设备标识。
若感知网元可以根据第一感知数据和第一区域的位置信息确定第一终端设备是否在第一区域内,则感知网元可以直接告知第一网元该第一终端设备是否在第一区域内。例如,若第一终端设备在第一区域内,则感知网元向第一网元发送第一信息。
若感知网元不能只根据第一感知数据和第一区域的位置信息确定第一终端设备是否在第一区域内,则感知网元还可以获取第一终端设备的位置信息,根据第一感知数据、第一区域的位置信息和第一终端设备的位置信息确定第一终端设备是否位于第一区域内。
此时,S316可以理解为感知网元根据第一区域的位置信息和第一感知数据确定需要获取与第一区域相关的终端设备的位置信息;然后感知网元获取第一终端设备的位置信息,第一终端设备位于第一区域;感知网元确定第一信息。
其中,确定需要获取与第一区域相关的终端设备的位置信息可以理解为确定需要获取第一区域内的终端设备的位置信息;或者可以理解为确定需要获取第一感知数据对应的感知区域内的终端设备的位置信息;或者可以理解为确定需要向第二网元发送定位请求消息;或者可以理解为确定需要触发第二网元进行定位流程。
例如,当第一感知数据指示存在第一对象(例如人、车辆或其它物品)进入或者离开第一区域时,感知网元确定需要获取与第一区域相关的终端设备的位置信息。
上述由感知网元向第二网元发送的定位请求消息可以用于触发第二网元进行定位流程。例如,该第二网元可以是LMF网元。
在一种可能的实现方式中,该定位请求消息包括第一区域的位置信息和/或第一感知数据对应的感知区域的信息。其中,第一感知数据对应的感知区域可以是第一设备的感知区域。
例如,感知网元根据第一感知数据获知存在第一对象进入或离开第一区域,那么,可能存在终端设备进入或离开第一区域的可能,感知网元便触发第二网元对第一区域,或者第一设备的感知区域中的终端设备发起定位流程,第二网元通过定位流程获取第一终端的位置信息,并向感知网元返回第一终端设备的位置信息,感知网元根据该第一终端设备的位置信息确定该第一终端设备是否位于第一区域内。从而,在本申请中,无需持续的对终端设备开启定位流程,可以使用感知的功能,当感知数据指示某区域存在人物或者物品流动时,再去触发定位流程。
另外,感知网元确定第一终端设备是否位于第一区域的可以采用如下两种确定方式。其一,感知网元可以仅根据第一终端设备的物理地理位置确定该第一终端设备是否位于第一区域;另一种方式为:感知网元可以结合第一终端设备的物理地理位置和第一终端设备的移动方向确定第一终端设备是否位于第一区域,例如,若第一区域内部边缘的终端设备的移动方向是向第一区域外,感知网元可以预判断这一终端设备位于第一区域之外,若第 一区域外部边缘的终端设备的移动方向是向第一区域内,感知网元可以域判断这一终端设备位于第一区域之内。
示例性的,上述定位流程中,第二网元可以从AMF获取与第一区域或者与第一感知数据对应的感知区域相关联的TAI对应的终端设备的标识,然后基于3GPP TS 23.273v17.2.0章节6.1.2的步骤12,或者章节6.1.1的步骤8的方式获取上述终端设备的位置信息。第二网元还可以根据所获取的终端设备的位置信息以及第一区域的位置信息和/或第一感知数据对应的感知区域的信息,筛选出位于第一区域和/或第一感知数据对应的感知区域内的终端设备,并将这些终端设备的位置信息发送给感知网元。
应理解,感知网元确定第一终端设备是否位于第一区域,或者说感知网元确定第一信息的方式取决于感知网元的判断算法,本申请对此不作特别限定。
S317,感知网元向第一网元发送第一信息。
例如,感知网元可以向第一网元发送响应订阅请求消息的订阅通知消息,在该订阅通知消息中携带该第一信息。
第一网元根据第一信息向第一终端设备发送第一配置信息。
可选地,该第一配置信息用于触发第一终端设备发送第一业务对应的业务请求消息。
例如,在场景1中,第一区域为LADN的服务区域,第一信息指示第一终端设备在该第一区域内,第一网元发起终端设备配置更新流程(UE configuration update),向第一终端设备发送的第一配置信息中携带LADN信息,该LADN信息中可以包含LADN DNN和LADN服务区域。此时,第一终端设备可以发送该LADN对应的第一业务的业务请求消息。
例如,在场景2中,第一区域为网络切片的服务区域,第一信息指示第一终端设备在该第一区域内,第一网元发起终端设备配置更新流程(UE configuration update),向第一终端设备发送的第一配置信息中携带允许该第一终端设备接入的网络切片的标识信息,该网络切片的标识信息中可以包含该第一区域部署的网络切片的标识S-NSSAI。此时,第一终端设备可以发送该网络切片对应的第一业务的业务请求消息。
在场景3中,第一区域为通信限制禁止区域,第一信息指示第一终端设备在该第一区域内,第一网元发起可以第一网元发起终端设备配置更新流程(UE configuration update),通过NAS消息通知第一终端设备目前位于禁止区域内,或者通知第一终端设备离开当前位置。
在一种可能的实现方式中,当第一终端设备离开第一区域时,该方法300还包括步骤S318至S320。
S318,感知网元从第一设备接收第二感知数据。
其中,第二感知数据对应的感知区域包括第一区域,第二感知数据对应的感知区域与对第一感知数据对应的感知区域的描述类似,为了简便,在此不再赘述。
感知网元从第一设备接收第二感知数据的描述与感知网元从第一设备接收第一感知数据的描述类似,为了简便,在此不再赘述。
例如,具有感知功能的接入网设备或者终端设备可以周期性的上报感知数据。
S319,感知网元根据第一区域的位置信息和第二感知数据确定第二信息。
该第二信息用于指示终端设备位于第一区域之外,或者该第二信息用于指示终端设备 离开第一区域。
其中,感知网元确定第二信息的方式与感知网元确定第一信息的方式类似,为了简便,在此不再赘述。
S320,感知网元向第一网元发送第二信息。
其中,感知网元向第一网元发送第二信息的方式与感知网元向第一网元发送第一信息的方式类似,为了简便,在此不再赘述。
第一网元向第一终端设备发送第二配置信息,该第二配置信息与第二信息对应。
可选地,该第二配置信息用于触发第一终端设备删除第一业务对应的信息。
例如,在场景1中,第一区域为LADN的服务区域,第二信息指示第一终端设备在该第一区域之外,第一网元发起终端设备配置更新流程(UE configuration update),向第一终端设备发送的第一配置信息用于触发第一终端设备删除LADN信息(第一业务对应的信息中的一例),若第一终端设备已经建立了LADN的PDU会话,则还可以通知对应的SMF删除该PDU会话。
例如,在场景2中,第一区域为网络切片的服务区域,第一信息指示第一终端设备在该第一区域内,第一网元发起终端设备配置更新流程(UE configuration update),向第一终端设备发送的第一配置信息中携带拒绝该第一终端设备接入的网络切片的标识信息,该拒绝接入的网络切片的标识信息中可以包含该第一区域部署的网络切片的标识S-NSSAI。若第一终端设备已经建立了该网络切片对应的PDU会话,则还可以通知对应的SMF删除该PDU会话。
从而,在本申请中,第一网元请求获知终端设备是否在第一区域的信息,无需持续的对终端设备发起定位流程,可以利用接入网设备或者终端设备感知的能力,根据感知数据确定终端设备是否在第一区域,减少了信令的开销。
