请参考图1,其示出了本公开实施例提供的一种无线通信系统的结构示意图。如图1所示,无线通信系统是基于蜂窝移动通信技术的通信系统,该无线通信系统可以包括:若干个UE 11以及若干个接入设备12。
其中,UE 11可以是指向用户提供语音和/或数据连通性的设备。UE 11可以经无线接入网(Radio Access Network,RAN)与一个或核心网进行通信,UE 11可以是物联网UE,如传感器设备、移动电话(或称为“蜂窝”电话)和具有物联网UE的计算机,例如,可以是固定式、便携式、袖珍式、手持式、计算机内置的或者车载的装置。例如,站(Station,STA)、订户单元(subscriber unit)、订户站(subscriber station)、移动站(mobile station)、移动台(mobile)、远程站(remote station)、接入点、远程UE(remote terminal)、接入UE(access terminal)、用户装置(user terminal)、用户代理(user agent)、用户设备(user device)、或用户UE(user equipment,UE)。或者,UE 11也可以是无人飞行器的设备。或者,UE 11也可以是车载设备,比如,可以是具有无线通信功能的行车电脑,或者是外接行车电脑的无线通信设备。或者,UE 11也可以是路边设备,比如,可以是具有无线通信功能的路灯、信号灯或者其它路边设备等。
接入设备12可以是无线通信系统中的网络侧设备。其中,该无线通信系统可以是第四代移动通信技术(the 4th generation mobile communication,4G)系统,又称长期演进(Long Term Evolution,LTE)系统;或者,该无线通信系统也可以是5G系统,又称新空口(new radio,NR)系统或5G NR系统。或者,该无线通信系统也可以是5G系统的再下一代系统。其中,5G系统中的接入网可以称为NG-RAN(New Generation-Radio Access Network,新一代无线接入网)。或者,MTC系统。
其中,接入设备12可以是4G系统中采用的演进型接入设备(eNB)。或者,接入设备12也可以是5G系统中采用集中分布式架构的接入设备(gNB)。当接入设备12采用集中分布式架构时,通常包括集中单元(central unit,CU)和至少两个分布单元(distributed unit,DU)。集中单元中设置有分组数据汇聚协议(Packet Data Convergence Protocol,PDCP)层、无线链路层控制协议(Radio Link Control,RLC)层、媒体访问控制(Media Access Control,MAC)层的协议栈;分布单元中设置有物理(Physical,PHY)层协议栈,本公开实施例对接入设备12的具体实现方式不加以限定。
接入设备12和UE 11之间可以通过无线空口建立无线连接。在不同的实施方式中,该无线空口是基于第四代移动通信网络技术(4G)标准的无线空口;或者,该无线空口是基于第五代移动通信网络技术(5G)标准的无线空口,比如该无线空口是新空口;或者,该无线空口也可以是基于5G的更下一代移动通信网络技术标准的无线空口。
XRM业务需要第五代移动通信系统(5th Generation System,5GS)综合考虑业务的相关数据流的服务质量(Quality of Service,QoS)特性,例如,与延时关联的保证比特(Guaranteed Bit Rate,GBR)数据流、保证流比特率(Guaranteed Flow Bit Rate,GFBR)、分组时延估计(Packet Delay Budget,PDB)、和/或默认最大突发数据量(Default Maximum Data Burst Volume,MDBV)等参数是否能同时满足并协同一致。XRM业务的数据流,可涉及一个UE的多个XRM业务的数据流,和/或多个 UE的数据流,这多个数据流的QoS授权与执行需要保持一致性,从能确保XRM业务的业务质量。
如图2所示,本公开实施例提供一种XRM业务处理方法,其中,由TSCTSF执行,所述方法包括:
S1110:接收AF的会话创建请求,其中,所述会话创建请求包括同步指示以及XRM组标识;
S1120:将所述同步指示以及所述XRM组标识发送给策略控制功能PCF。

在一些场景下,时延信息和UEs IP地址是所述会话创建请求可以携带的可选参数。即在另一些实施例中,所述会话创建请求还会包括所述时延信息和/或所述UEs IP地址。此时,所述方法还包括:将所述时延信息和/或所述UEs IP地址发送给PCF。
总之,会话创建请求携带的信息,可将用于供所述PCF生成策略控制和计费(Policy Control and Charging,PCC)规则或者激活预定义的PCC规则。
AF可为位于通信运营商提供的移动通信网络的一个设备。该AF可由应用运营商提供。具体地,该AF可包括一个或多个应用服务器。
TSCTSF可为一种核心网网元(又称核心网设备),任何执行上述操作的网元都可以称之为TSCTSF。
5GS提供时间同步业务,而TSCTSF可为提供时间同步业务的重要网元。
示例性地,若AF想要创建一个涉及多个数据流且对这多个数据流的时延差要求小或者对数据流的时延很敏感时,会向TSCTSF发送会话创建请求,如此,TSCTSF接收到AF的会话创建请求之后,可以从会话创建请求中获取该AF请求创建的会话涉及的一个或数据流的时延信息以及XRM组标识。
本公开实施例请求创建的会话涉及的多个数据流可为时间敏感通信(Time Sensitive Communication,TSC)数据流,如此,TSCTSF对TSC数据流会对时间同步业务的操作。
所述同步指示携带在所述会话创建请求中,可用于表明当前请求创建会话是时间敏感会话,针对该会话涉及的一个或多个数据流均是TSC数据流,即这些数据流对时延很敏感,且对多个数据流的时延差很敏感。
TSCTSF收到包含有所述同步指示的会话创建请求之后,若该会话创建请求中包含同步指示,TSCTSF会对该AF请求创建的会话(即AF会话)涉及的多个数据流提供时间同步业务。
示例性地,若TSCTSF收到了同步指示之后,会将同步指示发送给PCF,PCF收到同步指示之后,知道当前请求创建的AF会话涉及的都是TSC数据流,若存在多个数据流时,在确定控制路由路径的策略时,可以考虑让多个数据流尽可能采用相同的路由路径,从而减少传输时延差。
例性地,由于该XDM组标识涉及的多个数据流都是TSC数据流,可以优先使用相同的UPF进行传输和/或监控。
示例性地,TSCTSF根据AF提供的时延信息或根据XRM组标识所标识确定的时延信息为AF所请求创建会话的一个或多个数据流提供时间同步业务,以确保该会话涉及的一个或多个数据流的 时延和/或多个数据流之间的时延差。
该XRM组标识为请求创建会话涉及的XRM业务的组标识。该XRM组标识用来识别一个XRM业务组内的多个数据流。一个XRM组的多个数据流,可能归属于一个UE,或者多个UE。
示例性地,该XRM组标识可以由参与多个数据流传输可涉及一个UE组。该一个UE组可包括一个或多个UE。因此该UEs IP地址也可以用于来标识该XRM业务。
在收到时延信息和XRM组标识和/或UEs IP地址之后,TSCTSF会将该时延信息,以及所述XRM组标识和UEs IP地址中的至少一个发送给PCF。PCF是一个制定和维护各种策略的核心网功能(或称核心网设备)。
示例性地,例如,PCF收到所述时延信息以及所述XRM组标识和/或UEs IP地址之后,会制定策略控制和计费(Policy Control and Charging,PCC)规则。
PCF接收到TSCTSF发送的信息之后,可以动态生成PCC规则或者,激活预先定义的PCC规则。预先定义的PCC规则被激活后,相当于PCC规则生效,可以根据该PCC规则调度并监控对应的数据流。
在一些实施例中,所述会话创建请求,还包括:时延信息和/或用户设备UEs IP地址。若会话创建请求中包含时延信息,则说明AF自身提供了本次请求创建会话的时延信息。由于AF本次请求创建的会话涉及的XRM业务的数据流可能涉及UE组,该UE组由UEs IP地址。一个UE组包括一个或UE。
所述S1120可包括:将所述同步指示和所述XRM组标识,以及所述时延信息和/或所述UEs IP地址,发送给所述PCF。
若将时延信息发送给PCF,则PCF可以根据从TSCTSF接收的时延信息,生成PCC规则或者激活预定义的PCC规则。
在一些实施例中,所述方法还包括:
根据所述时延信息,计算PDB。
所述TSCTSF接收到所述时延信息之后,可以确定出请求创建的会话涉及的每个数据流的最大容忍时延,和/或该会话涉及的数据流的最大容忍时延差。
根据该时延信息,TSCTSF可以计算出PDB。示例性地,TSCTSF会根据时延信息,确定上行数据流的PDB(即上行PDB)和/或下行数据流的PDB(即下行PDB)。
若TSCTSF计算了PDB,则会将该PDB发送给PCF。
示例性地,TSCTSF不自行计算PDB,则会直接将时延信息和XRM组标识一同发送给PCF,由PCF自行计算PDB。在一些实施例中,TSCTSF可以将从会话创建请求中获取的所有时延信息和/或至少用于计算PDB的时延信息,发送给PCF。
在一些实施中,若TSCTSF自行计算了PDB,则可以将PDB和XRM组标识提供给PCF,当然也可以将PDB和时延信息以及XRM组标识一起发送给PCF。
在另一些实施例中,TSCTSF不会计算PDB,因此TSCTSF在接收到时延信息和XRM组标识 和/或UEs IP地址发送给PCF。
在一些实施例中,所述时延信息包括以下至少之一:
双向时延;
上行时延;
下行时延;
数据流的时延差。
此处的双向时延为:上行时延和下行时延之和。
上行时延可为:UE到网络设备(例如,用户面功能(User Plane Function,UPF))的数据流的时延。
下行时延可为:网络设备到UE的数据流的时延。
此处的数据流的时延差具体可为:多个数据流的时延差。例如,该多个数据流的时延差可包括:由同一个XRM组标识和/或UEs IP地址涉及的多个上行数据流的时延差,和/或,由同一个XRM组标识和/或UEs IP地址涉及的多个下行数据流的时延差。
在一些实施例中,所述会话创建请求还包括以下至少之一:
流描述;
服务质量(Quality of Service,QoS)信息和需求;
所述AF的标识。
流描述可包括一个或信息单元(Information Element,IE)描述了数据流的属性信息。
所述QoS信息和需求可用于核心网网元确定各个数据流能够容忍的最大时延和/或数据流能够容忍的最大时延差。
示例性地,所述QoS信息和需求包括以下至少之一:
QoS参数;
QoS参考;
备选的业务需求。
示例性地,所述QoS参数可包括以下至少之一:
请求的5GS时延;
请求的周期;
请求的最大保障比特(Guaranteed Bitrate,GB);
请求的最大比特(Maximum Bitrate);
流方向,例如,该AF涉及的一个或数据流可为上行数据流和/或下行数据流,若上行数据流的流方向为上行;若下行数据流的流方向为下行;
突发大小(Burst Size);
上行数据流达到时间(Burst Arrival Time at UE);
下行数据流达到时间(Burst Arrival Time at UPF);
时间域(Time Domain);
数据流的持续时长(Survival Time)。
所述备选的业务需求(Alternative Service Requirments)可包括如下参数至少之一:
AF提供的有助于确定独立QoS参数的信息;
可选QoS相关参数集合,该集合内包括一个或可选QoS参数或者QoS参考。
示例性地,QoS参考同样可用于确定确定数据流的QoS的任意参考信息。在一些实施例中,QoS可为备选的业务需求的部分内容。
当然以上仅仅是对QoS信息和需求的举例说明,具体实现时不局限于上述举例说明。
在一些实施例中,所述PDB以及所述同步指示、所述XRM组标识和/或UEs IP地址以及所述时延信息,包含在授权创建或者更新请求中发送给所述PCF。
PCF接收到该授权创建或者更新请求之后,会对AF请求的AF会话进行鉴权,在该AF会话被授权时,则会继续进行会话创建,在完成会话创建之后,该AF会话涉及的一个或数据流会基于创建的会话传输。
例如,创建AF会话包括:分配会话标识、分配会话使用的传输资源,和/或确定会话涉及的一个或数据流的路由路径。
如图3所示,本公开实施例提供一种XRM业务处理方法,其中,由TSCTSF执行,所述方法包括:
S1210:接收AF的会话创建请求,其中,所述会话创建请求包括同步指示以及XRM组标识;
S1220:向PCF发送授权创建或者更新请求,其中,所述授权创建或者更新请求包括将所述同步指示以及所述XRM组标识。
S1230:接收所述授权创建或者更新请求的响应;
S1240:根据所述授权创建或者更新请求的响应,发送所述会话创建请求的会话创建响应。
在一些实施例中,所述会话创建请求还可包括:时延信息和/或UEs IP地址。若会话创建请求包含时延信息和/或UEs IP地址,则TSCTSF会将从AF接收的时延信息和/或UEs IP地址,通过授权创建或者更新请求,与所述同步指示以及XRM组标识,一同发送给PCF。
由于TSCTSF收到了AF的会话创建请求之后,向PCF发送所述授权创建或者更新请求,会收到PCF返回的响应。且TSCTSF在接收到所述授权创建或者更新请求的响应,会进一步向AF发送会话创建响应。
所述根据所述授权创建或者更新请求的响应,发送所述会话创建请求的会话创建响应,可包括;
所述授权创建或者更新请求的响应为接受响应,向AF发送指示创建话的会话创建响应;或者,所述授权创建或者更新请求的响应为拒绝响应,向AF发送指示不创建话的会话创建响应。
在一些实施例中,所述方法还包括:
向所述PCF发送订阅请求,所述订阅请求,用于请求订阅事件报告。
示例性地,所述订阅请求,用于请求订阅包含资源分配状态和/或传送时延的事件报告。
例如,该订阅请求,用于AF会话涉及的一个或多个数据流的资源分配状态变化的事件订阅;和/或,数据流的时延的事件订阅。
订阅的事件,将发生对应的事件时,会以事件报告的形式向AF返回。
在一些实施例中,所述方法还包括:
接收所述PCF发送的所述事件报告;
向所述AF发送事件报告。
在一些实施例中,所述TSCTSF的地址预先存储在网络开放功能NEF、PCF或者可信的AF上。
若TSCTSF的地址预先存储在发送所述会话创建请求的AF上,则AF可以与TSCTSF之间直接通信。例如,该AF为被通信运营商的管理设备认定为可信设备,则可以将TSCTSF的地址直接提供给AF上。
NEF和所述PCF都属于通信运营商提供的通信网络内的网元。所述TSCTSF的地址也可以预先存储在NEF上,此时,AF可以通过NEF转发自身与TSCTSF之间的交互的信息。
另外,PCF上也可以直接存储TSCTSF的地址,方便PCF直接与TSCTSF进行通信。示例性地,PCF被TSCTSF基于发现功能发现之后,TSCTSF将其自身的地址提供给PCF。
所述TSCTSF的地址可至少包括:TSCTSF的IP地址。
在一些实施例中,TSCTSF的地址也可以不预先存储(即预先配置)所述NEF、PCF或者AF上。例如,NEF可以根据会话使用的数据网络和/或网络切片,确定出与该数据网络和/或网络切片关联的TSCTSF的地址。
例如,PCF或者NEF等可以向用户数据寄存器(User Data Repository,UDR)查询TSCTSF的地址。
当然以上仅仅是举例说明,具体实现不局限于上述举例说明。
在一些实施例中,所述订阅请求包括:事件报告模式信息;
其中,所述事件报告模式信息指示的所述事件报告的报告模式包括以下至少之一:
立即报告模式;
周期报告模式;
触发报告模式。
若是立即报告模式,则PCF收到订阅请求之后,会立即上报订阅的事件报告,该事件报告内包括:数据流的时延和/或时延差和/或数据流的资源分配状况等。
周期报告模式为:订阅事件的事件报告会被周期性发送给TSCTSF,并由TSCTSF转发给AF。若采用周期性报告模式,则PCF侧可以配置周期性报告模式的定时器,定时器失效,则订阅事件对应的事件报告会从PCF提交到TSCTSF。
触发报告模式为:订阅事件被触发之后,TSCTSF会接收到PCF发送的事件报告。例如,数据流的时延达到阈值,或者时延差达到阈值时,则TSCTSF会收到PCF提交的事件报告。
示例性地,所述事件报告模式信息可包括立即报告标志,若该立即报告标志为预定值,则说明 当前订阅事件所对应的事件报告的报告模式为立即报告模式。又示例性地,所述订阅事件包括周期报告模式的周期信息,则说明AF订阅周期性上报的事件报告。此时,该事件报告模式信息可以由周期信息隐含指示。
再示例性地,所述订阅事件包括触发订阅事件的阈值等,则说明AF订阅触发报告模式的事件报告。此时事件报告模式信息可以由阈值隐含指示。
当然所述订阅请求中可包括:一个或比特携带所述事件报告模式。
如图4所示,本公开实施例提供一种信息处理方法,其中,由PCF执行,所述方法包括:
S2110:接收TSCTSF发送的同步指示以及XRM组标识;
S2120:根据所述同步指示和所述XRM组标识,生成策略控制和计费PCC规则或者激活预定义的PCC规则。
PCF会从TSCTSF接收到需要生成或者基于PCC规则的数据流的同步指示和XRM组标识。
在一些实施例中,所述S2110可包括:在接收TSCTSF发送的同步指示以及XRM组标识的同时,还接收时延信息和UEs IP地址的至少其中之一。
S2120可包括:根据根据所述同步指示和所述XRM组标识,和/或时延信息与UEs IP地址的至少其中之一,生成PCC规则或者激活预定义的PCC规则。示例性地,PCF若未从TSCTSF接收到时延信息,可以根据XRM组标识所标识的XRM组业务,自行获取时延信息,并根据自行获取的时延信息生成PCC规则或者激活预定义的PCC规则。
该XRM组标识为请求创建会话涉及的XRM业务的组标识。该XRM组标识用来识别一个XRM业务组内的多个数据流。一个XRM组的多个数据流,可能归属于一个UE,或者多个UE。
若接收到会话创建请求之后,确定授权创建会话,则会为该会话相关的一个或数据流生成PCC规则或激活预定义的PCC规则。
在一些实施例中,所述方法还包括:
根据所述同步指示以及时延信息为所述XRM组标识和/或所述UEs IP地址涉及的数据流,生成PCC规则或激活预定义的PPC规则。
在本公开实施例中,PCF收到时延信息之后,会根据该时延信息为XRM组标识涉及的一个或数据流生成PCC规则或激活预定义的PCC规则,从而控制该数据流的通信资源分配、路由路径和/或收费情况等。
示例性地,所述接收TSCTSF发送的同步指示、和时延信息以及XRM组标识和/或UEs IP地址,包括:
接收包含所述同步指示、和所述时延信息以及所述XRM组标识和/或所述UEs IP地址的授权创建或者更新请求;
向所述TSCTSF发送所述授权创建或者更新请求的响应。
若PCF收到授权创建或者更新请求之后,会确定授权或者更新或者确定不授权或不更新,都会 向通过响应(响应消息)告知TSCTSF。
在一些实施例中,所述根据所述同步指示以及所述XRM组标识,包括:
当所述授权创建或者更新请求还包括所述TSCTSF根据所述时延信息计算的PDB时,根据所述同步指示、所述TSCTSF计算的PDB、所述XRM组标识和/或所述UES IP地址,生成所述PCC规则或者激活预定义的所述PCC规则;
或者,
当所述授权创建或者更新请求不包括所述TSCTSF根据所述时延信息计算的PDB时,根据所述授权创建或者更新请求包含的所述时延信息计算PDB,根据所述PCF计算的PDB、所述XRM组标识和/或所述UEs IP地址,生成所述PCC规则或激活预定义的所述PCC规则。
在一些实施例中,TSCTSF会根据时延信息计算PDB,在一些实施例中,TSCTSF不会根据时延信息计算PBD。
若TSCTSF计算了PDB,则PCF可能收到TSCTSF发送的PDB,如此PCF可以根据TSCTSF提供的PDB生成PCC规则或激活预定义的PCC规则。例如,PCF根据TSCTSF提供的PBD,进一步确定适用于各个数据流的PDB和突发数据量生成PCC规则或激活预定义的PCC规则。
若TSCTSF未计算PDB,则PCF将不会从TSCTSF收到PDB。如此,PCF收到时延信息之后,可以根据时延信息自行计算PDB,并根据自行计算的PDB生成PCC规则或激活预定义的PCC规则。又例如,PCF根据自身计算的PDB和突发数据量生成PCC规则或基于预定义的PCC规则。
在本公开实施例中,PCF生成PCC规则或预先定义的PCC规则被激活之后,会将与SFM相关的PCC规则的信息发送给会话管理功能(Session Management Function,SMF)。SMF会根据PCC规则进行会话创建、修改和/或释放。示例性地,SMF会根据该PCC规则调度会话资源等。
在一些实施例中,PCF执行PCC规则之后,PCF会将与UPF相关的PCC规则的信息发送给UPF,方便UPF根据PCC的策略信息进行用户面的数据流传输。
在一些实施例中,所述根据所述授权创建或者更新请求包含的PDB,根据所述时延信息为所述XRM组标识涉及的UE确定策略控制和计费PCC规则,包括:
根据所述授权创建或者更新请求包含的PDB和MDVB,确定数据流的PDB和突发数据量;
根据所述数据流的PDB和所述突发数据量,为所述XRM组标识涉及的数据流确定PCC规则。
在一些实施例中,所述方法还包括:
确定是否授权创建会话。
示例性地,PCF会根据XRM组标识对应的UE,查询UE的签约数据,确定是否授权创建与XRM组标识关联的会话。
如图5所示,本公开实施例提供一种信息处理方法,其中,由PCF执行,所述方法包括:S2210:接收订阅请求;其中,所述订阅请求,用于请求订阅事件报告。
示例性地,接收AF的订阅请求,该订阅请求,可用于AF向网络设备请求订阅事件报告。
该事件报告可包括但不限于:资源分配状况的事件报告和/或时延的事件报告。
例如,若AF订阅了资源分配状况的事件报告,则该AF会话的一个或多个数据流的资源分配发生变化时,可以通过事件报告通知AF。例如,该事件报告可指示:资源分配报告、资源回收报告和/或资源释放报告。
在一些实施例中,所述订阅请求包括:事件报告模式信息;
其中,所述事件报告模式信息指示的所述事件报告的报告模式包括以下至少之一:
立即报告模式;
周期报告模式;
触发报告模式。
若是立即报告模式,则PCF收到订阅请求之后,会立即上报订阅的事件报告,该事件报告内包括:数据流的时延和/或时延差和/或数据流的资源分配状况等。
周期报告模式为:订阅事件的事件报告会被周期性发送给TSCTSF,并由TSCTSF转发给AF。若采用周期性报告模式,则PCF侧可以配置周期性报告模式的定时器,定时器失效,则订阅事件对应的事件报告会从PCF提交到TSCTSF。
触发报告模式为:订阅事件被触发之后,TSCTSF会接收到PCF发送的事件报告。例如,数据流的时延达到阈值,或者时延差达到阈值时,则TSCTSF会收到PCF提交的事件报告。
示例性地,所述事件报告模式信息可包括立即报告标志,若该立即报告标志为预定值,则说明当前订阅事件所对应的事件报告的报告模式为立即报告模式。又示例性地,所述订阅事件包括周期报告模式的周期信息,则说明AF订阅周期性上报的事件报告。此时,该事件报告模式信息可以由周期信息隐含指示。
再示例性地,所述订阅事件包括触发订阅事件的阈值等,则说明AF订阅触发报告模式的事件报告。此时事件报告模式信息可以由阈值隐含指示。
当然所述订阅请求中可包括:一个或比特携带所述事件报告模式。
在一些实施例中,所述方法还包括:
S2220:在前述订阅事件被触发时,向TSCTSF发送事件报告。
在一些实施例中,所述方法还包括:
根据所述订阅请求,当数据流的时延差触发订阅事件时,向所述TSCTSF发送事件报告;
和/或,
根据所述订阅请求,当所述数据流的时延触发订阅事件时,向所述TSCTSF发送事件报告。
数据流的时延差出现变化可能触发事件报告的上报。如此,PCF可以根据订阅请求,向TSCTSF发送事件报告,该事件报告可最终被由TSCTSF转发给AF。
数据流的时延出现波动时,也可能触发事件报告的上报,如此,PCF可以根据订阅请求向TSCTSF发送事件报告;该事件报告最终会由TSCTSF转发给AF。
数据流的时延可以由UPF监测并计算得到。若AF请求订阅的是与时延相关的事件报告,则PCF可以向UPF进行订阅等。
示例性地,所述根据所述订阅请求,当数据流的时延差触发订阅事件时,向所述TSCTSF发送事件报告,包括:
根据所述订阅请求,向UPF和/或NR-RAN订阅所述所述数据流的时延;
根据所述UPF和/或NR-RAN提供的所述数据流的时延,确定所述时延差;
当所述时延差触发订阅事件时,向所述TSCTSF发送事件报告。
在本公开实施例中,PCF收到订阅请求之后,可以向UPF和/或NR-RAN订阅多个数据流的时延,如此,PCF会定期或者不定期的收到UPF和/或NR-RAN提供的多个数据流的时延。
如此,PCF收到多个数据流的时延之后,可以计算与同一个标识信息关联的多个数据流的时延差。并进一步判断PCF计算的时参差是否触发了订阅事件,若触发了订阅事件,则向TSCTSF发送事件报告。
例如,同一个XRM组标识涉及的多个数据流中的任意两个数据流的时延差大于时延差阈值时,可认为订阅事件被触发,此时,可以通过事件报告向TSCTSF告知订阅事件被触发的事实。
示例性地,为同一个XRM组标识涉及的数据流,可由多个UPF和/或NR-RAN进行数据流传输时,则单个UPF和/或NR-RAN仅能监控到该XRM组标识的多个数据流中的部分数据流的时延,此时,PCF可以向传输该XRM组标识涉及的多个数据流的UPF订阅时延,拿到各个数据流的时延之后,由PCF计算多个数据流的时延差。例如,PCF会计算多个数据流的最大时延差,若最大时延差触发订阅事件,则向TSCTSF发送事件报告。事件报告包含的内容可包括以下至少之一:
订阅事件的触发标志位;
导致订阅事件被触发的数据流的流标识;
导致订阅事件被触发的数据流的时延等。
当然以上事件报告的举例,具体实现时不局限于上述举例。
在一些实施例中,所述事件报告可仅包括订阅事件的触发标志位,此时,该事件报告仅用于通知TSCTSF的订阅事件被触发。
在另一个实施例中,所述根据所述订阅请求,当数据流的时延差触发订阅事件时,向所述TSCTSF发送事件报告,包括:
根据所述订阅请求,向所述UPF和/或NR-RAN订阅所述数据流的时延差;
当所述UPF和/或NR-RAN提供的所述数据流的时延差触发订阅事件时,向所述TSCTSF发送事件报告。
若XDM组标识关联(或涉及)的多个数据流,由于同步要求被调度经过相同的UPF和/或NR-RAN,此时,一个UPF可以监控到该XRM组标识关联的数据流的时延。此时,UPF和/或NR-RAN可以根据自身监控的多个数据流的时延,计算出多个数据流的时延差。
在这种情况下,PCF可以向UPF和/或NR-RAN直接订阅时延差,如此,PCF会定期或者不定期的接收到时延差,PCF在接收到时延差之后,会确定该多个数据流的时延差是否触发了订阅事件,若触发了订阅事件,则PCF会向TSCTSF发送事件报告,否则不向TTSCTSF发送事件报告。
在一些实施例中,所述根据所述订阅请求,当所述数据流的时延触发订阅事件时,向所述TSCTSF发送事件报告,包括:
根据所述订阅请求,向UPF订阅所述数据流的时延;
当所述UPF和/或NR-RAN提供的数据流的时延触发订阅事件时,向所述TSCTSF发送事件报告。
在一些实施例中,PCF也可以直接向UPF订阅数据流的时延,在数据流的时延触发了订阅事件时,也会向TSCTSF发送事件报告,否则不向TSCTSF发送事件报告。
在一个实施例中,所述根据所述订阅请求,当数据流的时延差触发订阅事件时,向所述TSCTSF发送事件报告,包括:
根据所述订阅请求,向所述UPF和/或NR-RAN发送订阅请求;其中,所述订阅请求包括:数据流的时延差触发订阅事件的订阅请求;和/或,所述数据流的时延触发订阅事件的订阅请求;
接收所述UPF发送触发订阅事件的通知消息;
根据所述通知消息,向所述TSCTSF发送事件报告。
在一个实施场景下,若该XRM组标识涉及数据流,且数据流由相同的UPF传输时,则PCF直接向UPF和/或NR-RAN订阅事件报告,UPF和/或NR-RAN根据自身对数据流的时延监控,并基于数据流的时延差确定是否触发了订阅事件,若触发了订阅事件,向PCF事件报告,如从,PCF会收到事件报告,并将事件报告发送给TSCTSF,并最终由TSCTSF发送给AF。
在另一个实施场景下,若该XRM组标识仅涉及一个数据流,PCF同样可以向UPF订阅事件报告,此时,UPF和/或NR-RAN传输并监控该数据流的时延,在该时延触发了订阅事件时,则UPF和/或NR-RAN会向PCF发送事件报告,因此,PCF会接收到事件报告并转发给TSCTSF。
在还有一个实施场景下,若该XRM组标识涉及数据流,且AF这数据流的数据流的时延相关的订阅事件,同样PCF可以向对应的UPF和/或NR-RAN订阅与数据流的时延相关的事件报告,此时,若某个数据流的时延触发了订阅事件,则PCF会收到UPF发送的事件报告。PCF在收到事件报告之后,会将该事件报告发送给TSCTSF,并最终由TSCTF发送给AF。
示例性地,所述订阅事件被触发,包括以下至少之一:
所述数据流的时延大于或等于所述订阅事件对应的时延阈值;
所述数据流的时延差大于或等于所述订阅事件对应的时延差阈值;
所述订阅事件的定时器到达;
接收到立即报告标志。
在网络的时延不会超过XRM组标识涉及的数据流能够容忍的最大时延时,则AF请求创建的AF会话被创建,但是网络的状况有波动,可能会出现在数据流传输过程中数据流的时延大于或等于订阅事件对应的时延阈值,则说明此时数据流的时延触发了订阅事件。
若该XRM组标识涉及数据流,在AF会话被创建时,网络的时延是不会过数据流能够容忍的最大时延差,但是在传输的过程中,由于网络状况的波动等导致数据流的时延差会增大到大于或等于 订阅事件的时延差阈值,则说明数据流的时延差触发了订阅数据。
例如,订阅事件的定时器可为周期性定时器,若定时器失效,则PCF会向TSCTSF发送事件报告。若定时器未失效,则PCF不会向TSCTSF发送事件报告。
若订阅的周期性事件报告,则PCF会周期性向TSCTSF发送事件报告。
假设前述实施例提供的时延阈值可为根据最大容忍延时确定的报警时延阈值或者数据流停止传输的停止时延阈值,在另一些实施例中还可以配置提醒时延阈值,例如,若数据流的时延超过报警时延阈值将逼近停止时延阈值时,由于网络波动,数据流的时延还可能会缩小,恢复到报警阈值以下。
同样地,上述实施例提供的时延差阈值为根据最大容忍时延差制定的报警时延差阈值或者数据流停止传输的停止时延差阈值,则在另一个实施例中还可以配置提醒时延差阈值。例如,数据流的实际时延差超过报警时延差阈值或者逼近停止时延差阈值,由于网络波动,数据流的时延差还可能缩小,则可能时延差还可以下降到小于提醒时延差阈值。
例如,订阅请求包含立即报标志,也相当于订阅事件被触发,因此需要上报事件报告。
因此,所述订阅事件被触发,还可包括以下至少之一:
数据流的时延小于或等于提醒时延阈值;
数据流的时延差小于或等于提醒时延差阈值。
在一些实施例中,所述方法还包括:
当所述订阅事件被触发时,更新所述PCC规则。
在一些实施例中,所述当所述订阅事件被触发时,更新所述PCC规则,包括:
当所述订阅事件被触发时,提升所述PCC规则授权的QoS;
或者,
当所述订阅事件被触发时,降低所述PCC规则授权的QoS。
例如,与时延相关的订阅事件被触发,提升或者降低PCC规则授权的QoS。
例如,PCC规则会限定第五代移动通信QoS标识符(5G QoS Identifier,5QI)。
当与时延相关的订阅事件被触发,且是数据流的时延降低,则可以通过提升5QI,实现PCC规则授权的QoS的提升,从而提升XRM组标识的数据流的QoS。
当与时延相关的订阅事件被触发,且是数据流时延增加,则可以通过降低一点QoS(例如,降低5QI)等,实现PCC规则想定的QoS的降低,从而优先保证数据流的传输。
在一些实施例中,所述订阅请求包括:事件报告模式信息;
其中,所述事件报告模式信息指示的所述事件报告的报告模式包括以下至少之一:
立即报告模式;
周期报告模式;
触发报告模式。
若是立即报告模式,则PCF收到订阅请求之后,会立即上报订阅的事件报告,该事件报告内包 括:数据流的时延和/或时延差和/或数据流的资源分配状况等。
周期报告模式为:订阅事件的事件报告会被周期性发送给TSCTSF,并由TSCTSF转发给AF。若采用周期性报告模式,则PCF侧可以配置周期性报告模式的定时器,定时器失效,则订阅事件对应的事件报告会从PCF提交到TSCTSF。
触发报告模式为:订阅事件被触发之后,TSCTSF会接收到PCF发送的事件报告。例如,数据流的时延达到阈值,或者时延差达到阈值时,则TSCTSF会收到PCF提交的事件报告。
示例性地,所述事件报告模式信息可包括立即报告标志,若该立即报告标志为预定值,则说明当前订阅事件所对应的事件报告的报告模式为立即报告模式。又示例性地,所述订阅事件包括周期报告模式的周期信息,则说明AF订阅周期性上报的事件报告。此时,该事件报告模式信息可以由周期信息隐含指示。
再示例性地,所述订阅事件包括触发订阅事件的阈值等,则说明AF订阅触发报告模式的事件报告。此时事件报告模式信息可以由阈值隐含指示。
当然所述订阅请求中可包括:一个或比特专门指示所述事件报告模式。
如图6所示,本公开实施例提供一种信息处理方法,其中,由AF执行,所述方法包括:
S3110:发送AF的会话创建请求,所述会话创建请求包括同步指示以及XRM组标识;
S3120:接收所述会话创建请求的会话创建响应。
本公开实施例中,该AF可由一个或服务器。该AF可为提供XRM业务的服务器。
该AF需要与UE之间进行数据流传输时,可以向网络侧申请创建会话,则此时,可以向TSCTSF直接或者通过NEF向TSCTSF发送会话创建请求。
在另一个实施例中,所述会话创建请求还包括:时延信息和/或所述UEs IP地址。
该UEs IP地址的UE为传输XRM业务的数据流的UE;XRM组标识XRM组,该XRM组包括:一个或需要进行数据流传输的XRM业务。
在一些实施例中,所述时延信息包括以下至少之一:
双向时延;
上行时延;
下行时延;
数据流的时延差。
此处的双向时延为:上行时延和下行时延之和。
上行时延可为:UE到网络设备(例如,用户面功能(User Plane Function,UPF))的数据流的时延。
下行时延可为:网络设备到UE的数据流的时延。
此处的数据流的时延差可为:数据流的时延差。此处的数据流的时延差可包括:由同一个XRM组标识的上行数据流的时延差,和/或,由同一个XRM组标识的下行数据流的时延差。
在一个实施例中,所述会话创建请求还包括以下至少之一:
同步指示;
流描述;
服务质量QoS信息和需求;
所述AF的标识。
所述同步指示携带在所述会话创建请求中,可用于表明当前请求创建会话是时间敏感会话,针对该会话涉及的一个或数据流均是TSC数据流,即这些数据流对时延很敏感,且对数据流的时延差很敏感。
TSCTSF收到包含有所述同步指示的会话创建请求之后,若该会话创建请求中包含同步指示,TSCTSF会对该AF请求创建的会话(即AF会话)涉及的数据流提供时间同步业务。
示例性地,若TSCTSF收到了同步指示之后,会将同步指示发送给PCF,PCF收到同步指示之后,知道当前请求创建的AF会话涉及的都是TSC数据流,若存在数据流时,在确定控制路由路径的策略时,可以考虑让数据流尽可能采用相同的路由路径,从而减少传输时延差。
示例性地,由于该XDM组标识涉及的数据流都是TSC数据流,可以优先使用相同过的UPF进行传输和/或监控。
又示例性地,当然所述同步指示也可以不传输给PCF,PCF直接根据时延信息确定当前涉及的数据流是否为TSC数据流,若是TSC数据流同样需要基于为这种数据流提供时间同步业务的考虑执行相应的策略。
流描述可包括一个或信息单元(Information Element,IE)描述了数据流的属性信息。
所述QoS信息和需求可用于核心网网元确定各个数据流能够容忍的最大时延和/或数据流能够容忍的最大时延差。

所述备选的业务需求(Alternative Service Requirments)可包括如下参数至少之一:
AF提供的有助于确定独立QoS参数的信息;
可选QoS相关参数集合,该集合内包括一个或可选QoS参数或者QoS参考。
示例性地,QoS参考同样可用于确定确定数据流的QoS的任意参考信息。在一些实施例中,QoS可为备选的业务需求的部分内容。
当然以上仅仅是对QoS信息和需求的举例说明,具体实现时不局限于上述举例说明。
在一个实施例中,所述方法还包括:
接收所述会话创建请求的会话创建响应。
在一些实施例中,所述方法还包括:
接收所述TSCTSF在订阅事件被触发时发送的通知消息。
若订阅事件被触发了,则TSCTSF会接收到订阅事件被触发的通知消息。该通知消息可包括:事件报告。
该事件报告可包括:资源状态分配的事件报告和/或与时延相关的事件报告。
该资源分配状态的事件报告可包括:与数据流的时延相关的事件报告,和/或数据流的时延相关的事件报告。
如此,一方面AF接收到事件报告,确定是否需要继续发送AF的会话创建请求,或者时延创建或者更新会话请求;另一方面AF可以通过事件报告监控AF会话数据流在网络中的传输状况。
在一些实施例中,所述发送AF的会话创建请求,包括:
当所述AF存储有TSCTSF的地址时,根据所述TSCTSF的地址向所述TSCTSF发送所述AF的会话创建请求。
在本公开实施例中,若AF存储有TSCTSF的地址,即表明AF是被TSCTSF信任的AF,如此,AF可以根据TSCTSF的地址,直接与TSCTSF之间交互信息。
在另一些实施例中,所述发送AF的会话创建请求,包括:
当所述AF未存储TSCTSF的地址时,向网络开放功能NEF发送所述AF的会话创建请求,其中,所述会话创建请求,用于由所述NEF转发给所述TSCTSF。
若AF未存储有TSCTSF的地址,则AF可能不能直接和TSCTSF通信,则AF将会话创建请求发送给NEF,并通过NEF转发的TSCTSF的响应和/或更新消息等。
如图7所示,本公开实施例提供一种信息处理方法,其中,由NEF执行,所述方法还包括:
S4110:接收应用功能AF的会话创建请求,其中,所述会话创建请求包括同步指示以及XRM组标识;
S4120:获取接收所述会话创建请求的TSCTSF的地址;
S4130:根据所述TSCTS F的地址,将所述会话创建请求发送给所述TSCTSF。
该AF请求创建的会话涉及的一个或多个数据流可为TSC数据流。该XRM组标识为请求创建会话涉及的XRM业务的标识。该XRM组标识可包括一个或多个XRM业务的标识。总之,该XRM组标识可以知道一个XRM业务组内多个数据流。
示例性地,该XRM组标识涉及的XRM业务需要由一个UE组来传输。该一个UE组可包括一个或多个UE。该UEs IP地址可包括:UE的网络协议(Internet Protocol,IP)地址。
在一个实施例中,所述会话创建请求还包括:时延信息和/或UEs IP地址。
在一个实施例中,所述获取接收所述会话创建请求的TSCTSF的地址,包括:
查询所述NEF预先存储的TSCTSF的地址;
或者,
将所述AF的标识和/或所述会话创建请求包含的XRM组标识和/或UEs IP地址,映射到网络名称DNN和/或网络切片标识,并根据所述DNN和/或网络切片标识映射发现所述TSCTSF的地址。
该NEF可接收AF发送的会话创建请求,NEF接收到该会话创建请求之后,若NEF本地存储有TSCTSF的地址,则NEF根据本地存储的TSCTSF直接将该会话创建请求发送刚给TSCTSF。
若NEF未存储有TSCTSF的地址,则可以根据AF的标识和/或XRM组标识以及映射关系信息,将AF标识和/或XRM组标识映射到DNN和/或网络切片标识。该DNN和/或网络切片标识进一步可映射到TSCTSF的地址。
该映射关系信息可指示以下至少之一:

该网络切片标识包括但不限于:单一网络切片选择辅助信息(Single Network Slice Selection Assistance Information,S-NSSAI)。
总之,NEF若本地没有配置TSCTSF的地址,则可以通过上述方式确定TSCTSF的地址,且在AF和TSCTSF之间进行信息交互。
在一些实施例中,所述方法还包括:
接收所述会话创建请求的会话创建响应;
将所述会话创建响应发送给所述AF。
由于AF通过NEF向TSCTSF发送会话创建请求,如此NEF会接收到TSCTSF发送的会话创建响应,并将该会话创建响应发送给AF。
在一些实施例中,所述方法还包括:
接收订阅事件被触发时所述TSCTSF发送的通知消息;
将所述通知消息发送给所述AF。
该通知消息可包括事件报告,该事件报告被携带在通知消息中发送给AF,如此,AF可以根据NEF发送的通知消息,实现对XRM业务涉及的一个或数据流在网络中的传输状况。
如图8所示,本公开实施例提供一种XRM业务处理方法,可包括:
1.AF发送AF会话创建请求给TSCTSF,AF会话创建请求提供同步指示、时延信息以及XRM组标识。该时延信息包括但不限于:上行时延,下行时延,双向时延或时延差。例如,AF可直接向TSCTSF发送AF会话创建请求,或者,通过NEF向TSCSF发送AF会话创建请求。
2.TSCTSF根据收到的同步指示、时延信息、组ID、UE地址、AF ID、流描述以及收到的QoS信息和需求,计算请求包时延预算(Packet Delay Budge,PDB)。该组ID为前述XRM组标识的一种,该UE地址可构成UEs IP地址的一种。
TSCTSF可以通过触发Npcf_PolicyAuthorization_Create或Npcf_PolicyAuthorization_Subscribe请求,从PCF订阅与同步相关的时延,例如,如5G端到端时延或时延差。此处从PCF订阅的时延可为:数据流实际传输的时延。
TSCTSF的地址可能是配置在NEF、PCF和/或可信AF本地,或者通过网络仓储功能(Network Respository Function,NRF)发现和选择。NEF使用组ID和/或AF ID来确定DNN/和/或S-NSSAI,且使用DNN和/或S-NSSAI从网络仓储功能(Network Repository Function,NRF)发现的TSCTSF的地址。
AF使用Nnef_AFsessionWithQoS_Create向TSCTSFF发送AF的会话创建请求,以请求为AF会话预留资源,该AF会话创建请求可包括:同步指示、时延信息、组ID、应用程序ID、UE地址、一个或多个数据流描述或外部应用标识符、QoS参考、QoS参数、备选的业务需求,DNN,S-NSSAI)到NEF,并由NEF发送给TSCTSF。
或者,
AF直接可向TSCTSF发送AF会话创建请求。示例性地,AF发送AF会话资源请求,例如通过Nnef_AFsessionWithQoS_Create请求,创建AF请求。AF在请求消息中携带XRM服务信息,XRM服务信息包括同步指示、时延信息、应用程序ID、组ID、UE地址、一个或数据流描述、S-NSSAI和/或QoS参数等相应信息。这里组ID,可用于识别XRM服务组中的所有数据流。该时延信息可包括:上行时延、下行时延、双向时延、端到端时延和/或时延差。
可选地,在AF的会话创建请求中,AF可以提供以下单独的QoS参数:请求的5GS时延(可选)、请求的优先级、请求的保证比特率、请求的最大比特率。该优先级可为可选参数。
AF还可以提供以下可选的QoS参数:
流方向、突发大小、UE上行或UPF下行的突发到达时间、周期性、时域、生存时间。
当备选的业务需求由独立QoS参数制定的AF请求提供时,可以提供一组可选QoS相关参数。
2.NEF授权该AF会话创建请求。
3.NEF根据请求决定调用TSCTSF与PCF交互,以通过TSCTSF触发PCF生成PCC规则或激活预定义的PCC规则。NEF将收到的同步指示、时延信息、组ID、应用ID、单个QoS参数、QoS参考等信息包含Ntsctsf_QoSandTSCAssistance_Create请求消息中的QoS相关参数集合中,并将Ntsctsf_QoSandTSCAssistance_Create请求消息转发给TSCTSF。TSC辅助(Assistance)信息可用于TSCTSF向数据流提供时间同步业务。该TSC辅助信息的信息内容可如表1所示:
Figure PCTCN2022092894-appb-000001
表1
DT-TT可为:设备侧的TSN适配器(Device-side TSN translator,DT-TT)。TSN为时间敏感网络(Time Sensitive Network,TSN)。
NW-TT可为:网络侧时间敏感网络适配器(Network-side TSN translator,NW-TT)。
如果AF被通信运营商信任,则AF可使用ntsctsf_qsandtscassistance_create请求消息,直接与TSCTSF交互,以请求为AF会话预留资源。
TSCTSF的地址可以被预先配置在NEF、PCF和受信任的AF本地,或者通过NRF发现和选择。
示例性地,每个DNN和/或S-NSSAI都配置一个TSCTSF。或者,NEF使用组ID和/或AF标识符来确定DNN/S-NSSAI,并使用DNN/S-NSSAI从NRF发现TSCTSF。
4.可选地,TSCTSF根据收到的同步指示、时延信息、组ID、UE地址、AF标识符、一个或流描述(s)、和收到的QoS信息和要求,计算请求的PDB。
5.TSCTSF具有XRM业务涉及的数据流关联的给定UE所连接的PCF的地址。在这种情况下,TSCTSF通过触发Npcf_PolicyAuthorization_Create/Update请求与PCF交互,并提供同步指示、时延信息、组ID、UE地址、AF标识、流描述(s)、QoS参考、QoS参数和备选的业务需求。
TSCTSF不具有XRM业务涉及的数据流关联的给定UE所连接的PCF的地址,则TSCTSF发现PCF,并向发现的PCF发送同步指示、时延信息,组ID,要求PDB,TSC援助容器和其他收到个人QoS和替代QoS相关参数Npcf_PolicyAuthorization_Create PCF的请求消息。示例性地,TSCTSF具有发现功能,该发现功能可包括:TSCTSF通过与NRF之间的信息交互,发现PCF。
TSCTSF可以通过发送Npcf_PolicyAuthorization_Create或Npcf_PolicyAuthorization_Subscribe请求,从PCF订阅与同步相关的时延。
如果TSCTSF从NEF接收到以下任何一个单独的QoS参数:流方向、突发到达时间、周期、时间域以及生存时间。
TSCTSF确定TSC协助容器,并将TSC协助容器与请求的PDB,以及其他在Npcf_PolicyAuthorization_Create/Update请求中收到的QoS参数,一起发送给PCF。
6.对于第5步中从TSCTSF接收到的请求,PCF确定请求是否得到授权,如果请求没有得到授权,则通知TSCTSF。
PCF负责制定策略并订阅被AF或TSCTSF请求的事件报告。例如,PCF向UPF订阅同步相关的时延。例如,PCF触发订阅或接收来自TSCTSF订阅),PCF可能触发特定数据流的QoS监测,从而得到端到端时延,并计算数据流的时延差。
例如,PCF向SMF发起SM策略关联修改请求以订阅该事件。根据基于PCF提供的QoS监控策略的QoS测量,SMF为UPF和RAN生成QoS监控配置(如果需要的话)。一旦PCF收到通知,该通知与同步相关的时延会被PCF同步给TSCTSF。
如果请求被授权,PCF根据TSCTSF提供的信息获取所需的QoS参数,并根据PCF配置确定是否允许此QoS流,并将结果通知TSCTSF。该QoS流可为前述与XRM组标识关联的一个或数据流。
此外,如果提供了备选的业务需求,PCF从一个或QoS参考参数派生可选QoS参数集,或根据备选的业务需求和被请求的PDB中确定备用QoS相关参数集。此处的可选QoS参数集或者备用QoS相关参数集都可以用于PCF指定策略。
如果PCF接收到的是单独的QoS参数,而不是QoS参考,则PCF根据从TSCTSF接收到的请求PDB和突发大小设置PDB和MDBV。如果没有提供被请求的PDB,PCF将确定与QoS参考匹配的PDB。PCF还根据TSCTSF发送的PDB等设置PCC规则(或称PCC规则)的GBR和MBR。PCF可以使用来自AF的请求优先级,确定请求的AF会话关联的一个或数据流的优先级。TSCTSF指定的QoS参数值,将取代5QI的默认值。
7.PCF通过触发Npcf_PolicyAuthorization_Create/Update响应与TSCTSF交互,告知TSCTSFAF创建请求是否被授权。如果请求未被授权,或者所需的QoS不被允许,PCF将用一个结果(Result)值响应TSCTSF,该值指示失败原因。
8.TSCTSF向NEF发送一个ntsctsf_qsandtscassistance_create会话创建响应,该会话创建响应将包括:事务引用ID和/或会话创建结果。会话创建结果表明该会话创建请求是否被授权。若会话创建请求被授权,则该会话会被网络创建,否则该会话不会被网络创建。
如果AF得到了运营商的信任,则TSCTSF可直接向AF发送ntsctsf_qsandtscassistance_create会话创建响应。
9.NEF向AF发送一个Nnef_AFsessionWithQoS_Create会话创建响应,该会话创建响应可包括传输相关标识(Transaction Reference ID)以及会话创建结果。会话创建结果表示请求是否被授权。会话创建结果表明该会话创建请求是否被授权。若会话创建请求被授权,则该会话会被网络创建,否则该会话不会被网络创建。
10.TSCTSF向PCF发送Npcf_PolicyAuthorization_Subscribe消息以订阅资源分配状态,和/或订阅与同步相关的时延。
11.订阅事件触发,事件报告可由UPF传输给PCF。例如,UPF触发通知(Notify)消息,向PCF报告测量的信息(例如,端到端时延、时延差)。示例性地,当UPF检测到时延达到事件时,将触发事件报告,例如,时延或时延差达到对应阈值,或周期计时器超时(即检测到周期订阅的订阅事件被触发)。
如果PCF收到时延差或端到端时延的订阅,PCF可以将这些时延相关的事件报告发送给TSCTSF。例如,如果PCF发现时延差达到了AF提供的时延差阈值,PCF将这些订阅事件被触发通知给TSCTSF。
根据UPF的通知,PCF可以为一个或数据流调整相关的PCC规则,例如,降级或升级相关的QoS授权。
12.当订阅事件被触发时,例如达到端到端时延或时延差的阈值,或周期计时器超时,PCF向TSCTSF发送Npcf_PolicyAuthorization_Notify消息,以通知订阅事件被触发,具体通知的订阅事件可如步骤11所示。
13.TSCTSF向NEF发送带有PCF的事件报告的Ntsctsf_QoSandTSCAssistance_Notify消息。
如果AF被运营商信任,TSCTSF直接向AF发送Ntsctsf_QoSandTSCAssistance_Notify消息。
14.NEF向AF发送Nnef_AFsessionWithQoS_Notify消息,携带PCF提供的事件报告。
为了撤销AF创建请求,AF可以向NEF发送Nnef_AFsessionWithQoS_Revoke请求。NEF对撤销请求授权,并对AF创建请求触发Ntsctsf_QoSandTSCAssistance_Delete/Unsubscribe和/或Npcf_PolicyAuthorization_Delete和Npcf_PolicyAuthorization_Unsubscribe操作。
