- the matching of the current location with the location information may be that the current location is the same as a location in the location information or the distance between the two is smaller than a distance threshold.
- the height information can be used alone as a condition for evaluating whether the RSD is valid, but the height information can also be used together with at least one of the time window information and the location information to form a condition for evaluating whether the RSD is valid, examples are as follows:

现在将参考附图更全面地描述示例实施方式。然而,示例实施方式能够以多种形式实施,且不应被理解为限于在此阐述的范例;相反,提供这些实施方式使得本公开将更加全面和完整,并将示例实施方式的构思全面地传达给本领域的技术人员。
本公开实施例的技术方案可以应用于各种通信系统,例如:全球移动通讯(Global System of Mobile communication,GSM)系统、码分多址(Code Division Multiple Access,CDMA)系统、宽带码分多址(Wideband Code Division Multiple Access,WCDMA)系统、通用分组无线业务(General Packet Radio Service,GPRS)、长期演进(Long Term Evolution,LTE)系统、LTE频分双工(Frequency Division Duplex,FDD)系统、LTE时分双工(Time Division Duplex,TDD)、通用移动通信系统(Universal Mobile Telecommunication System,UMTS)、全球互联微波接入(Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access,WiMAX)通信系统或5G系统等。
示例性的,本公开实施例应用的通信系统100如图1所示。该通信系统100可以包括网络设备110,网络设备110可以是与终端120(或称为通信终端、终端)通信的设备。网络设备110可以为特定的地理区域提供通信覆盖,并且可以与位于该覆盖区域内的终端进行通信。在一些实施例中,该网络设备110可以是GSM系统或CDMA系统中的基站(Base Transceiver Station,BTS),也可以是WCDMA系统中的基站(NodeB,NB), 还可以是LTE系统中的演进型基站(Evolutional Node B,eNB或eNodeB),还可以是5G通信系统中的基站,或者是云无线接入网络(Cloud Radio Access Network,CRAN)中的无线控制器,或者该网络设备可以为移动交换中心、中继站、接入点、车载设备、可穿戴设备、集线器、交换机、网桥、路由器、5G网络中的网络侧设备或者未来演进的公共陆地移动网络(Public Land Mobile Network,PLMN)中的网络设备等。
该通信系统100还可以包括位于网络设备110覆盖范围内的至少一个终端120。作为在此使用的“终端”包括但不限于经由有线线路连接,如经由公共交换电话网络(Public Switched Telephone Networks,PSTN)、数字用户线路(Digital Subscriber Line,DSL)、数字电缆、直接电缆连接;和/或另一数据连接/网络;和/或经由无线接口,如,针对蜂窝网络、无线局域网(Wireless Local Area Network,WLAN)、诸如DVB-H网络的数字电视网络、卫星网络、AM-FM广播发送器;和/或另一终端的被设置成接收/发送通信信号的装置;和/或物联网(Internet of Things,IoT)设备。被设置成通过无线接口通信的终端可以被称为“无线通信终端”、“无线终端”或“移动终端”。移动终端的示例包括但不限于卫星或蜂窝电话;可以组合蜂窝无线电电话与数据处理、传真以及数据通信能力的个人通信系统(Personal Communications System,PCS)终端;可以包括无线电电话、寻呼机、因特网/内联网接入、Web浏览器、记事簿、日历以及/或全球定位系统(Global Positioning System,GPS)接收器的PDA;以及常规膝上型和/或掌上型接收器或包括无线电电话收发器的其它电子装置。终端可以指接入终端、UE、用户单元、用户站、移动站、移动台、远方站、远程终端、移动设备、用户终端、终端、无线通信设备、用户代理或用户装置。接入终端可以是蜂窝电话、无绳电话、会话启动协议(Session Initiation Protocol,SIP)电话、无线本地环路(Wireless Local Loop,WLL)站、个人数字处理(Personal Digital Assistant,PDA)、具有无线通信功能的手持设备、计算设备或连接到无线调制解调器的其它处理设备、车载设备、可穿戴设备、5G网络中的终端或者未来演进的PLMN中的终端等。
在一些实施例中,终端120之间可以进行终端直连(Device to Device,D2D)通信。
在一些实施例中,5G系统或5G网络还可以称为新无线(New Radio,NR)系统或NR网络。
图1示例性地示出了一个网络设备和两个终端,在一些实施例中,该通信系统100可以包括多个网络设备并且每个网络设备的覆盖范围内可以包括其它数量的终端,本公开实施例对此不做限定。
在一些实施例中,该通信系统100还可以包括网络策略控制实体、移动管理实体等其他网络实体,本公开实施例对此不作限定。
应理解,本公开实施例中网络/系统中具有通信功能的设备可称为通信 设备。以图1示出的通信系统100为例,通信设备可包括具有通信功能的网络设备110和终端120,网络设备110和终端120可以为上文所述的具体设备,此处不再赘述;通信设备还可包括通信系统100中的其他设备,例如网络策略控制实体、移动管理实体等其他网络实体,本公开实施例中对此不做限定。
应理解,本文中术语“系统”和“网络”在本文中常被可互换使用。本文中术语“和/或”,仅仅是一种描述关联对象的关联关系,表示可以存在三种关系,例如,A和/或B,可以表示:单独存在A,同时存在A和B,单独存在B这三种情况。
图2为本公开实施例的5G网络的系统架构图,如图2所示,5G网络系统中涉及到的设备包括:终端(UE)>无线接入网(Radio Access Network,RAN)、用户平面功能(User Plane Function,UPF)>数据网络(Data Network,DN)、接入和移动性管理(Access and Mobility Management Function,AMF)、会话管理功能(Session Management Function,SMF)、策略控制功能(Policy Control Function,PCF)>应用功能(Application Function,AF)>鉴权服务器功能(Authentication Server Function,AUSF)、统一数据管理(Unified Data Management,UDM)、网络切片选择功能(Network Slice Selection Function,NSSF)。
如图2所示,与策略相关的网元主要是PCF、AMF、SMF、RAN、UE。其中,SMF主要是负责与会话相关的策略的执行,AMF主要负责与接入和UE策略相关的策略执行,两个网元(AMF和SMF)上的策略下发、更新全都由PCF来管控。
具体到UE策略,PCF与UE之间可以通过容器(Container)来监护UE策略相关的信息,包括UE策略的内容、UE策略标识等。在上行方向上,由UE通过非接入层(Non Access Stratum,NAS)消息将容器发送给AMF,并由AMF以不感知容器或不修改容器的方式继续透传给PCF,下行方向与之相反,由PCF将容器发给AMF,AMF进而通过NAS消息将容器透传给UE。
UE策略包括URSP。URSP包含多个策略规则(称为URSP Rule),每一个URSP Rule由流量描述符(Traffic Descriptor)和一组路由选择描述符(Route Selection Descriptor,RSD)组成。URSP中的流量描述符用于描述一种具体的业务。一个流量描述符可以对应一个或多个RSD,每一个RSD对应一个PDU会话的属性,也就是说流量描述符对应的业务数据可以传输在RSD对应的PDU会话中。
相关技术中的URSP的相关的内容如下表1和表2所示:
表1:URSP规则
上述表1中,Rule Precedence表示规则优先级,规则优先级决定了UE使用URSP规则的顺序。Traffic descriptor是一个用于说明匹配标准的流量描述符,由一个或多个组件组成,可以包括:应用描述符(Application descriptors)、IP描述符(IP descriptors,目的IP)、域描述符(Domain descriptors,目的全限定域名(Fully Qualified Domain Name,FQDN))、非IP描述符(Non-IP descriptors)、数据网络名称(Data Network Name,DNN)描述符和连接能力(Connection Capabilities),流量描述符供UE使用进行应用匹配。当流量描述符中的每个组件都与来自应用的相应信息匹配时,该URSP规则适用。当流量描述符中的任一组件有如下情况时,该URSP规则不适用于以下情况:没有来自应用的相应信息可用;来自应用的相应信息与流量描述符组件中的任何值都不匹配。
表2:RSD
上述表2中,Route Selection Descriptor Precedence表示RSD优先级,决定了使用RSD的顺序,当优先级高的RSD无法使用时,才使用其它RSD。Route selection components表示路由选择组件,描述了应用可以使用的各种 网络资源,它由一个或多个组件组成,可以包括业务会话连续性(Service and Session Continuity,SSC)模式选择(SSC Mode Selection,UE用来将匹配的应用与SSC模式相关联)、网络切片选择(Network Slice Selection,UE用来将匹配的应用于与S-NSSAI相关联)、DNN选择(DNN Selection,UE用来将匹配的应用于与DNN相关联)、协议数据单元(Protocol Data Unit,PDU)会话类型选择(PDU Session Type Selection,UE用来将匹配的应用与PDU会话类型相匹配)、有缝卸载指示(Non-Seamless Offload indication)和接入类型优先级(Access Type preference,也可称之为接入类型偏好,如果UE需要为匹配的应用建立一个PDU会话,它将表明优先的接入类型(3GPP或非3GPP(non-3GPP)或多接入(Multi-Access)))。
路径选择有效条件(Route Selection Validation Criteria),也称为路由选择校验标准,描述了对应的生效条件,它包括时间窗口(Time Window,也可称之为有效时间窗口)和位置标准(Location Criteria,也可称之为位置条件),如果当前时间不在时间窗口内或UE位置不匹配位置标准,则认为对应的RSD无效。
其中,SSC模式、单网络切片选择辅助信息(Single Network Slice Selection Assistance Information,S-NSSAI)、PDU会话类型和DNN都是与PDU会话属性相关的参数。
相关技术中的URSP规则不能解决特定高度的UE路由选择问题,以及通过应用与网络交互来指示特定的优选选择问题。
图3实施例提供的数据传输方法可以由第一核心网网元执行,在示例性实施例中,第一核心网网元可以是PCF,但本公开实施例并不限定于此。
如图3所示,本公开实施例提供的方法可以包括S310和S320,下面具体说明。
在S310中,生成终端路由选择策略URSP。
其中,URSP可以包括一个或多个(两个或者两个以上)URSP规则,每个URSP规则可以包括路由选择描述符RSD,其中一个RSD或者每个RSD中可以包括高度信息,高度信息是指用于指示当终端的高度匹配RSD中的高度信息时,选择对应的RSD来传输该终端的应用数据。
URSP配置为实现UE将特定的业务流映射到对应的数据传输会话上。例如,PCF可以在核心网中生成多个URSP规则,每个URSP规则均可以包括流量描述符(Traffic Descriptor)和路由选择描述符(RSD)。当UE上的某个应用程序启动时,可以根据UE启动的应用程序的流量特性,匹配核心网生成的URSP规则中的Traffic Descriptor,确定对应的URSP。每个URSP规则可以包括一个或者多个RSD,且可以根据业务需求和业务类型为每个URSP规则中的不同RSD配置对应的RSD优先级。在匹配到对应的URSP后,UE可以根据已生成的各RSD的RSD优先级,选择相应的RSD,并在与该RSD对应的数据传输会话上传输该应用程序的数据(称之为业务数据 或者应用数据)。
本公开实施例中,以UE为无人机进行举例说明,但并不限定于此,本公开提供的方法可以适用于任意需要在特定高度进行路由选择的UE。将该特定高度设置在URSP规则中的RSD中,作为RSD中的高度信息,高度信息可以是一个取值范围,也可以是某个特定的值,高度信息的取值可以根据实际需求设置,本公开实施例对此不做限定。
本公开实施例中,当支持无人机场景时,应用可以定义针对无人机的飞行高度接入特定的路由路径,例如,假设设置RSD中的高度信息为高度范围,以10m-30m为例,则当无人机的飞行高度在10米-30米时,可以使得无人机正式进入工作模式发起视频传输,通过设置该RSD中的其它参数,例如此时无人机可以接入到网络切片S-NSSAI-1,业务连续性模式选用SSC mode 3。这样可以控制无人机在刚起飞时不工作,等到了某个特定高度才开始进入工作模式,发起视频传输,并且在该特定的高度下,可以规定RSD中任意一个参数,例如S-NSSAI,DNN,SSC mode,可以根据需要设置为任意一个取值。
需要指出,上文是以高度信息为高度范围为例说明,作为替代方案,高度信息可以包括一个或多个设定的高度值,例如,10米,20米,30米。
在示例性实施例中,RSD可以包括路径选择有效条件,路径选择有效条件可以包括位置条件;位置条件包括高度信息。
在示例性实施例中,RSD可以包括路径选择有效条件,路径选择有效条件可以包括所述高度信息。
本公开实施例中,为了支持上述场景,首先在URSP规则中新增高度相关的参数(高度信息),还可以在AF和网络交互的AF影响URSP规则的流程中,补充相应的参数,例如AF直接或间接地向PCF发送高度信息和/或路由选择指示信息。
在相关的URSP规则中,定义了路径选择有效条件Route Selection Validation Criteria,Route Selection Validation Criteria包括时间窗口(Time Window)和位置条件(Location Criteria)。
时间窗口:当时间窗口的条件满足(即当前时间位于时间窗口内)时,UE才会执行URSP规则中定义的RSD。如果当前时间不在该时间窗口内,则UE认为RSD是无效的。
位置条件:定义匹配该业务流路由的UE位置信息。当UE位置不满足位置条件(即UE位置与位置信息中的位置不同)时,则UE认为RSD是无效的。
相关技术中,Location Criteria的具体内容如下:
Length of Location Criteria(octect d)//标准的位置长度,指示Location Criteria的长度
Location Criteria中的区域的编码规则如下:
其中,E-UTRA是Evolved-UMTS Terrestrial Radio Access的简写,即进化的UMTS(Universal Mobile Telecommunications System,通用移动通信系统)陆地无线接入。TAI是Tracking Area Identity的简写,即位置区标识或者跟踪区标识。
本公开实施例提出在URSP规则的Route Selection Validation Criteria中补充高度信息作为一个评估RSD是否有效的条件。
其中一种实现方式是:该高度信息可以作为Location Criteria的一个具体的参数,即在Location Criteria中新增一个高度信息作为location area type,即位置条件包括高度信息。
另一种实现方式是:在Route Selection Validation Criteria中新增一个和Time Window以及Location Criteria并列的参数:高度信息,即路径有效条件包括高度信息。
上述不同的实现方式实现高度信息与相关技术的灵活融合。
本公开实施例中,高度信息是指匹配该业务流路由的UE的高度信息,即当UE位于当前高度时,才会执行该RSD;当UE不位于当前高度时,则不执行该RSD。
在示例性实施例中,RSD中设置的高度信息配置为指示以下的至少一项:
若所述路径选择有效条件中包括时间窗口和所述高度信息,则所述高度信息指示当所述终端的高度匹配所述高度信息,且当前时间处于所述时间窗口内时,选择所述RSD传输应用数据;
若所述路径选择有效条件中包括位置信息和所述高度信息时,则所述高度信息指示当所述终端的高度匹配所述高度信息,且当前位置匹配所述位置信息时,选择所述RSD传输应用数据。
作为示例,若高度信息为高度范围,则终端的高度匹配所述高度信息可以是终端的高度处于高度范围内;若高度信息为一个或多个高度值,则终端的高度匹配高度信息可以是,终端的高度与一个高度值相同或二者的高度差值小于高度差值阈值。
作为示例,当前位置匹配所述位置信息可以是,当前位置与位置信息中的一个位置相同或二者的距离小于距离阈值。
本公开实施例中,高度信息可以单独作为评估该RSD是否有效的条件, 但高度信息也可以与时间窗口信息和位置信息中的至少一个来共同构成评估该RSD是否有效的条件,示例如下:
-当路由选择验证标准(Route Selection Validation Criteria)既包含有时间窗口信息也有高度信息时,若UE的当前高度位于该高度信息内且时间处于该时间窗口内,则执行该RSD。当UE的当前高度不位于该高度信息内,或者当前时间不位于该时间窗口内,即两个条件有一个不满足,则不执行该RSD。
-当Route Selection Validation Criteria既包含有位置条件,也包含该高度信息时,若UE的当前高度位于该高度信息内且UE的当前位置满足位置条件(即,当前位置是位置条件中定义的匹配业务流路由的UE位置信息)内时,则执行该RSD;若UE的当前高度不匹配高度信息,或者UE的当前位置不匹配位置信息,即两个条件有一个不满足,则不执行该RSD。
-当Route Selection Validation Criteria既包含有时间窗口信息,也包含有位置信息,还包含该高度信息时,若UE的当前高度匹配该高度信息,UE的当前时间处于该时间窗口内,且UE的当前位置匹配该位置信息,则执行该RSD;当UE的当前时间不位于该时间窗口内,或者UE的当前高度不匹配该高度信息,或者UE的当前位置不匹配位置信息,即三个条件有一个不满足,则不执行该RSD。
在示例性实施例中,生成终端路由选择策略URSP,可以包括:接收第三网元发送的高度信息;参考接收到的所述高度信息,决定在所述路径选择有效条件中设置所述高度信息。本公开实施例中,第三网元可以是AF,但本公开实施例并不限定于此。PCF从AF接收到高度信息之后,可以根据自身的决策决定是否要接受所接收到的高度信息,若接受该高度信息,则在URSP规则中设置该高度信息,若不接受该高度信息,则在URSP规则中不设置该高度信息。
在示例性实施例中,接收第三网元发送的高度信息,可以包括:接收所述第三网元发送的服务参数(Service Parameters),所述服务参数可以包括所述高度信息。
在示例性实施例中,接收第三网元发送的高度信息,可以包括:从第四核心网网元接收所述高度信息。其中,所述第四核心网网元配置为从所述第三网元接收所述高度信息。
相关技术中定义了AF影响URSP规则的流程,UE可以向网络中的网元如NEF(第四核心网网元)提供的参数信息包括:
1)服务描述指示AF标识符
(Service Description indicates an AF Identifier).
2)Service Parameters.
3)一个特定的UE,或一组UE,或与AF请求相关联的任何UE(a specific UE,or a group of UE(s)or any UE that the AF request may be associated with).
4)订阅活动(Subscription to events).
本公开实施例中,AF可以在Service Parameters中新增高度信息,即AF向网络请求为特定高度的UE选择特定的路由时,即指示PCF在生成URSP规则时考虑AF的请求,将Service Parameters中携带的高度信息设置在特定的Route Selection Validation Criteria中。AF可以通过NEF将Service Parameters中携带的高度信息发送给PCF,也可以直接发送给PCF,PCF接收到AF发送的信息后,可以根据自己的策略,决定是否接受AF的请求来设置URSP规则。
需要说明的是,AF可以将高度信息携带在已有的消息和已有的参数中发送给PCF,也可以新增消息和/或新增参数,将高度信息携带在已有的消息中的新增参数中发送给PCF,或者,将高度信息携带在新增消息中的新增参数中发送给PCF,本公开对此不做限定。
在示例性实施例中,RSD可以包括路由选择组件(Route selection components)。其中,生成终端路由选择策略URSP,可以包括:接收第三网元发送的路由选择指示信息;参考所述路由选择指示信息,决定设置所述路由选择组件中的目标组件的值。
本公开实施例中,目标组件可以是RSD的Route selection components中的任意一个或者多个组件,例如业务会话连续性模式选择(SSC Mode Selection)和/或网络切片选择(Network Slice Selection)和/或DNN Selection和/或PDU Session Type Selection和/或非无缝卸载指示(Non-Seamless Offload indication)和/或ProSe第3层UE到网络中继卸载指示(
ProSe Layer-3UE-to-Network Relay Offload indication)和/或访问类型首选项(Access Type preference)和/或PDU会话对ID
(PDU Session Pair ID)和/或RSN。路由选择指示信息配置为设置目标组件中的值,例如某个特定的SSC mode、某个特定的S-NSSAI或者S-NSSAI(s)的列表、某个特定的DNN或者DNN(s)的列表、某个特定的PDU Session Type、某个特定的接入类型偏好,包括第三代合作伙伴计划(3rd Generation Partnership Project,3GPP)/non-3GPP/多路访问(Multi-Access)等中的一个或多个,下面以SSC Mode、PDU Session Type、Access Type preference这三个进行举例说明,但本公开实施例并不限定于此。
在示例性实施例中,接收第三网元发送的路由选择指示信息,可以包括:接收所述第三网元发送的服务参数,所述服务参数可以包括所述路由选择指示信息。
本公开实施例中,PCF可以直接从AF接收携带了路由选择指示信息的服务参数,也可以通过NEF间接地从AF接收携带了路由选择指示信息的服务参数。
本公开实施例中,可以在服务参数中新增路由选择指示信息,也可以新增参数,在该新增参数中包含路由选择指示信息,本公开对此不做限定。
在示例性实施例中,所述路由选择指示信息可以包括业务连续性指示信息;所述目标组件可以包括业务会话连续性模式选择组件SSC Mode Selection。其中,参考所述路由选择指示信息,决定设置所述路由选择组件中的目标组件的值,可以包括:参考所述业务连续性指示信息,决定设置所述业务会话连续性模式选择组件的值。
在示例性实施例中,所述业务连续性指示信息可以包括业务会话连续性模式的值。
在示例性实施例中,所述业务连续性指示信息可以用于指示是否支持终端网络地址变化以及在终端网络地址变化时是否需要保持业务连续性。其中,参考所述业务连续性指示信息,决定设置所述业务会话连续性模式选择组件的值,可以包括:当所述业务连续性指示信息指示不支持终端网络地址变化时,设置所述业务会话连续性模式选择组件的值为第一业务会话连续性模式;当所述业务连续性指示信息指示支持终端网络地址变化,且不需要保持业务连续性时,设置所述业务会话连续性模式选择组件的值为第二业务会话连续性模式;当所述业务连续性指示信息指示支持终端网络地址变化,且需要保持业务连续性时,设置所述业务会话连续性模式选择组件的值为第三业务会话连续性模式。
本公开实施例中,可以在Service Parameters中新增业务连续性指示信息,即AF向网络请求为特定的业务流选择特定的路由时,即指示PCF在生成PCF规则时考虑AF的请求,将业务连续性指示信息用于设置URSP中的Route selection components中的SSC Mode。
本公开实施例中,在Service Parameters中新增业务连续性指示信息可以有两种方式:一种是可以直接指示具体的SSC Mode的值,第二种是指示是否支持UE IP(Internet Protocol,网际互联协议)地址(终端网络地址)变化以及在IP地址变化时是否需要保持业务连续性。
其中,“不支持UE IP地址变化”对应SSC mode 1(第一业务会话连续性模式);“支持UE IP地址变化,但是不需要保持业务连续性”对应SSC mode 2(第二业务会话连续性模式);“支持UE IP地址变化,但是需要保持业务连续性”对应SSC mode 3(第三业务会话连续性模式)。
在示例性实施例中,所述路由选择指示信息可以包括协议数据单元会话类型指示信息;所述目标组件可以包括协议数据单元会话类型选择组件PDU Session Type Selection。其中,参考所述路由选择指示信息,决定设置所述路由选择组件中的目标组件的值,可以包括:参考所述协议数据单元会话类型指示信息,决定设置所述协议数据单元会话类型选择组件的值。
本公开实施例中,可以在Service Parameters中新增PDU会话类型指示信息(具体的值可以是IPv4,或者IPv6,或者IPv4v6;或者Enternet;或 者Unstructured非结构化),即AF向网络请求为特定的业务流选择特定的路由时,即指示PCF在生成URSP规则时考虑AF的请求,将Service Parameters携带的PDU会话类型指示信息用于设置URSP中的Route selection components中的PDU Session Type Selection。
在示例性实施例中,所述路由选择指示信息可以包括优先接入类型指示信息;所述目标组件包括接入类型偏好组件Access Type preference。其中,参考所述路由选择指示信息,决定设置所述路由选择组件中的目标组件的值,可以包括:参考所述优先接入类型指示信息,决定设置所述接入类型偏好组件的值。
本公开实施例中,可以在Service Parameters中新增优先接入类型指示信息(具体的值可以是3GPP接入或non-3GPP接入或Multi-Access多接入),即AF向网络请求为特定的业务流选择特定的路由时,即指示PCF在生成URSP规则时考虑AF的请求,将Service Parameters中携带的优先接入类型指示信息用于设置URSP中的Route selection components中的PDU的Access Type preference。
本公开实施例通过上述不同的指示信息的设置方式,使得AF向网络请求为特定的业务流选择特定的路由时,指示PCF在生成URSP规则中的考虑AF的请求提供了灵活和多样化的实现方式。
在S320中,将所述URSP通过第二核心网网元下发至所述终端。本公开实施例中,第二核心网网元可以是AMF,但本公开实施例并不限定于此。
例如,图1实施例中的网络设备110可以是该通信系统的核心网设备,可以生成有多个URSP规则,每个URSP规则均可以包括Traffic Descriptor和RSD。终端120上可以安装有一个或多个应用程序,当终端120上的某个应用程序启动时,终端120可以根据所启动应用程序的流量特性,匹配URSP规则中的Traffic Descriptor,并根据对应Traffic Descriptor的RSD,对所启动应用程序的数据进行路由。
URSP规则可以包含一个或多个RSD,每个RSD可以用于指示对应PDU会话。例如,RSD中可以包含有PDU会话建立的参数,如:DNN、Network Slice Selection Policy、S-NSSAI、PDU会话类型等参数。不同RSD对应的PDU会话,提供的上网体验可能不同。
本公开实施例对于URSP规则的内容,根据具体的业务需求进行进一步的扩展,能够支持特定的业务诉求。例如,针对无人机这类具有特定的高度的UE,如何进行特定的路由选择,以及通过应用与网络交互来支持对特定高度的UE的路由选择;还可以通过应用与网络交互来进行特定的业务连续性的指示;还可以通过应用与网络交互来进行特定的PDU会话类型的选择等。
参考图4,以第一核心网网元为PCF、第二核心网网元为AMF、第三网元为AF,且AF和PCF直接交互进行举例说明。
图4示意性示出了根据本公开的一实施例的数据传输方法的交互示意图。如图4所示,本公开实施例提供的方法可以包括S41至S44,下面具体说明。
在S41中,AF将高度信息和路由选择指示信息发送至PCF。
在S42中,PCF配置URSP。
PCF从AF接收高度信息和路由选择指示信息之后,参考高度信息和路由选择指示信息,决定是否接受该高度信息和/或路由选择指示信息,若决定接受该高度信息,则在生成的URSP规则的RSD中包含该高度信息,若不接受该高度信息,则在生成的URSP规则的RSD中不包含该高度信息;若决定接受该路由选择指示信息,则参考路由选择指示信息,决定设置路由选择组件中的目标组件的值,若决定不接受该路由选择指示信息,则不参考路由选择指示信息,决定设置路由选择组件中的目标组件的值。
可以理解的是,高度信息和路由选择指示信息可以包含在已有的消息中的已有参数中,也可以包含在已有消息的新增参数中,或者可以通过新增消息传输,本公开实施例对此不做限定。
需要说明的是,上述S41是在一些实施例中,即PCF也可以直接生成URSP。
在S43中,PCF发送URSP。
例如,PCF可以将生成的URSP放在一个容器(Container)里,发送给AMF,但本公开实施例并不限定于此。
在S44中,AMF发送URSP。
AMF接收到URSP之后,将URSP通过RAN发送至UE。
本公开实施例中,AMF可以使用NAS消息将容器直接转发给UE,但本公开实施例并不限定于此。
UE基于接收到的URSP将应用数据关联到相应的PDU会话上进行传输,机制如下:当应用层发送数据时,UE使用URSP中的URSP规则来查看该应用数据的特征是否匹配到了URSP规则中的某一个规则的Traffic Descriptor上,查看的顺序按照URSP规则中的优先级(Precedence)来决定,即UE基于优先级的顺序依次查看匹配情况,当匹配到一个URSP规则的Traffic Descriptor时,用该URSP规则下的RSD列表进行PDU会话的绑定。当有URSP规则匹配上时,UE按照RSD中的Precedence顺序来查找合适的PDU会话,这里优先使用优先级高的RSD,如果该RSD中的某个参数为一个或多个取值,则UE选用参数的组合查找PDU会话是否存在:
1)若存在,则将该应用数据绑定到该会话进行传输;
2)若不存在,则UE触发该PDU会话的建立,建立请求消息中UE上报PDU会话的属性参数;进一步,
2.1)若该会话建立成功,则UE将该应用数据绑定到该会话进行传输;
2.2)若该会话建立不成功,则UE基于该RSD中的其他参数组合或者使用次优先级的RSD中的参数组合再次查找PDU会话是否存在(循环步骤1));
若根据该匹配的URSP规则中都不能找到一个合适的PDU会话进行绑定,则UE根据Precedence顺序查找次优先的URSP规则中的Traffic Descriptor是否能够匹配该应用数据流特征,当匹配成功时,重复之前描述的过程。
本公开实施例通过上述的应用和网络的交互方式,使能网络在生成URSP规则时考虑应用的输入信息(包括高度信息和/或路由选择指示信息),从而能够生成符合应用需求的URSP规则。
图4实施例的其它内容可以参照上述其它实施例。
图5实施例以第一核心网网元为PCF、第二核心网网元为AMF、第三网元为AF、第四核心网网元为NEF,且AF和PCF通过NEF交互进行举例说明。
图5示意性示出了根据本公开的另一实施例的数据传输方法的交互示意图。如图5所示,本公开实施例提供的方法可以包括S51至S55,下面具体说明。
在S51中,AF向NEF发送高度信息和路由选择指示信息。
在S52中,NEF从AF接收到高度信息和路由选择指示信息之后,向PCF转发高度信息和路由选择指示信息。
在S53中,PCF配置URSP。
PCF从NEF接收高度信息和路由选择指示信息之后,决定是否接受所接收到的高度信息和路由选择指示信息,以此来生成URSP。
需要说明的是,上述S51和S52是可以缺省执行的,即PCF可以直接生成URSP。
在S54中,PCF向AMF发送URSP。
在S55中,AMF向RAN发送URSP。
在S56中,RAN接收到URSP之后,向UE转发URSP。
图5实施例的其它内容可以参照上述其它实施例。
图6实施例提供的数据传输方法可以由第二核心网网元执行,在示例性实施例中,第二核心网网元可以是AMF。
