当5GC支持non-3GPP接入时,则5G网络架构如图2所示,包括本地公共陆地移动网络(home public land mobile network,HPLMN)和non-3GPP网络。UE可以在HPLMN中通过3GPP接入方式接入5GC,以及可以通过非可信non-3GPP接入(untrusted non-3GPP access)方式接入5GC。其中N3IWF为non-3GPP接入网关。non-3GPP接入网例如可以包括非可信无线局域网(wireless local area network,WLAN)接入网,N3IWF设备例如可以包括路由器等。

PIN Element节点可以是具有5GC接入能力的末端设备,也可以是不具备5GC接入能力的末端设备,后文简称为末端设备。末端设备可以归属于第三方服务提供商,例如智能可穿戴设备,智能家居设备等。
本申请实施例提供了一种业务流路由方法,可以实现PIN网络架构下的通信流程,以及可以在网络侧的控制下实现PIN网络内业务流的本地路由。
图4为本申请实施例提供的一种业务流路由方法示意图。该方法包括以下步骤:
S401:第二终端设备发送第二注册消息,相应的,第二接入管理功能网元接收第二注册消息。其中,第二注册消息携带第二能力信息,第二能力信息指示第二终端设备具有PIN网络网关能力。示例的,第二终端设备为PEGC。第二管理功能网元是为第二终端设备提供接入管理功能的网元,例如第二管理功能网元是服务PEGC的AMF。
S402:第二终端设备获取第一PIN网络本地路由规则。
S403:第二终端设备根据第一PIN网络本地路由规则,对获取到的业务流执行本地路由。
基于上述方案,具有PIN网络网关能力的第二终端设备可以根据获取到的第一PIN网络本地路由规则,对业务流执行本地路由,业务流在PIN网络架构下的传输,以及可以实现PIN网络内业务流的本地路由。
上述S402中,第二终端设备可以通过如下两个示例获取第一PIN网络本地路由规则:
示例1:第二终端设备从第一终端设备获取第一PIN网络本地路由规则。
示例2:第二终端设备从策略控制功能网元获取第一PIN网络本地路由规则。
在该示例1中,第一PIN网络本地路由规则与第一能力信息相关。第一能力信息指示第一终端设备具有PIN网络管理能力。示例的,第一终端设备为PEMC。
可选地,第一终端设备可以从策略控制功能网元获取第一PIN网络本地路由规则。一个可能的实 现方式如图5所示,包括如下步骤:
S501:第一终端设备发送第一注册消息,相应的,第一接入管理功能网元接收第一注册消息。其中,第一注册消息携带第一能力信息,第一能力信息指示第一终端设备具有PIN网络管理能力。第一接入管理功能网元是为第一终端设备提供接入管理功能的网元,例如第一接入管理功能网元是服务PEMC的AMF。第一接入管理功能网元和第二接入管理功能网元可以部署在同一物理网元中,或者可以部署在不同的物理网元中。
S502:第一终端设备从策略控制功能网元获取第一PIN网络本地路由规则。
可选地,第一接入管理功能网元可以向策略控制功能网元发送策略获取消息,该策略获取消息携带指示信息,指示信息指示第一终端设备具有PIN网络管理能力。相应的,策略控制功能网元根据该指示信息,确定允许本地路由,发送第一PIN网络本地路由规则。例如策略控制功能网元根据第一终端设备具有PIN网络管理能力,确定第一终端设备需要在PIN网络中进行数据传输,PIN网络内通常存在可以进行本地路由的业务,例如,基于业务特征(例如互联网(internet)业务、数据包传输业务等)确定允许本地路由的业务,因此策略控制功能网元可以确定允许本地路由。策略控制功能网元中保存有不同业务对应的是否允许进行本地路由的策略,因此策略控制功能网元可以将该策略的相关信息携带在第一PIN网络本地路由规则中。
S503:第一终端设备向第二终端设备发送第一PIN网络本地路由规则。
在该示例2中,第一PIN网络本地路由规则与第二能力信息相关。
可选地,第二接入管理功能网元可以向策略控制功能网元发送策略获取消息,该策略获取消息携带指示信息,指示信息指示第二终端设备具有PIN网络网关能力。相应的,策略控制功能网元根据该指示信息,确定允许本地路由,发送第一PIN网络本地路由规则。例如策略控制功能网元根据第二终端设备具有PIN网络网关能力,确定第二终端设备需要在PIN网络中进行数据传输,PIN网络内通常存在可以进行本地路由的业务,例如,基于业务特征(例如internet业务、数据包传输业务等)确定允许本地路由的业务,因此策略控制功能网元可以确定允许本地路由。策略控制功能网元中保存有不同业务对应的是否允许进行本地路由的策略,因此策略控制功能网元可以将该策略的相关信息携带在第一PIN网络本地路由规则中。
本地路由指业务流通过PIN网络内的终端传输(如通过PEGC传输,或者在两个终端设备之间直接传输),而不经过运营商网络中的节点(如5G网络中的RAN或UPF网元)传输。一般而言,针对每种业务,策略控制网元可以决策该业务是否允许进行本地路由。对于PIN网络内业务的数据,例如但不限于家庭网络内的数据共享(如手机画面投屏到电视)或家电控制(如通过手机调节空调温度)等,这些业务不通过运营商网络中的节点也可以实现传输,那么策略控制功能网元可以将这类业务决策为允许进行本地路由。对于互联网内业务的数据,例如但不限于网际互连协议(internet protocol,IP)多媒体子系统(IP multimedia subsystem,IMS)语音,或视频通话业务等,这类业务通过运营商网络中的节点保证业务流的服务质量或执行计费,从而才能实现双方的语音通信或视频通话,那么策略控制功能网元可以将这类业务决策为不允许进行本地路由。
根据实际实现的需要,上述实施例中的第一PIN网络本地路由规则中可以包含不同的信息。下面结合可能的实现方式1和实现方式2予以说明。
可能的实现方式1:上述的第一PIN网络本地路由规则可以包括数据网络名称(data network name,DNN)和/或切片信息(slice info)。数据网络名称指示该数据网络名称对应的PDU会话中的业务流允许进行本地路由。切片信息指示该切片信息对应的PDU会话中的业务流允许进行本地路由。
可选的,上述第一PIN网络本地路由规则除了包含DNN和slice info外,还可以包括本地路由指示信息,本地路由指示信息指示数据网络名称或切片信息对应的PDU会话中的业务流允许进行本地路由。
具体的,上述S403包括若获取到的业务流与第一PIN网络本地路由规则匹配,第二终端设备在第二终端设备所在的PIN网络内,将该业务流发送给业务流的目的终端设备。其中,第二终端设备获取到的业务流,可以是第二终端设备接收到的其他终端设备(如末端设备)发送的业务流,或者可以是第二终端设备生成的业务流。
其中,业务流与第一PIN网络本地路由规则匹配,包括以下一个或多个情况:
情况1.1:第一PIN网络本地路由规则中的流描述信息包含业务流中数据包携带的信息。
流描述信息包括五元组中的至少一个,五元组的信息包括源IP地址、目的IP地址、源端口号、目 的端口号、或协议类型中的至少一个。对于终端设备发出的上行业务流,源IP地址为发出上行业务流的终端设备的IP地址,源端口号为发出上行业务流的终端设备的端口号。对于终端设备接收的下行业务流,目的IP地址为接收下行业务流的终端设备的IP地址,目的端口号为接收下行业务流的终端设备的端口号。
示例的,流描述信息可以是五元组、三元组或四元组等。例如,第一PIN网络本地路由规则中的五元组包含业务流中数据包携带的五元组,即业务流中数据包携带的五元组为第一PIN网络本地路由规则中的五元组的子集,表示该业务流属于允许本地路由的业务流。
或者,流描述信息包括源MAC地址,或目的MAC地址中的至少一个。对于终端设备发出的上行业务流,源MAC地址为发出上行业务流的终端设备的MAC地址。对于终端设备接收的下行业务流,目的MAC地址为接收下行业务流的终端设备的MAC地址。
情况1.2:第一PIN网络本地路由规则中的数据网络名称包含业务流对应的PDU会话的数据网络名称。
第一PIN网络本地路由规则中的数据网络名称包括上行业务流对应的PDU会话的数据网络名称,和/或下行业务流对应的PDU会话的数据网络名称。其中,业务流对应的PDU会话指业务流所属的PDU会话。数据网络名称为PDU会话的属性之一,数据网络名称用于确定该PDU会话对应的业务流是否允许本地路由。
情况1.3:第一PIN网络本地路由规则中的切片信息包含业务流对应的PDU会话的切片信息。
第一PIN网络本地路由规则中的切片信息包括上行业务流对应的PDU会话的切片信息,和/或下行业务流对应的PDU会话的切片信息。其中,切片信息为PDU会话的属性之一,切片信息用于确定该PDU会话对应的业务流是否允许本地路由。示例的,切片信息可以包括网络切片选择辅助信息(network slice selection assistance information,NSSAI),或单个NSSAI(single-NSSAI,S-NSSAI)。
情况1.4:业务流中携带的目的地址信息对应的目的终端设备与第二终端设备属于同一PIN网络。
若目的终端设备与第二终端设备属于同一PIN网络,表示业务流不经过运营商网络中的节点就可以被目的终端设备接收,因此该业务流可以允许本地路由。
以一个示例说明上述几种情况,在上述S403中,第二终端设备确定获取到的业务流对应的PDU会话,例如,根据接收到的业务流中的源IP地址确定业务流对应的PDU会话。
a)如果此PDU会话的业务流允许本地路由,即此PDU会话对应的DNN或切片信息属于PIN网络本地路由规则中包含的DNN或切片信息,则第二终端设备基于接收到的业务流中的目的IP地址查找目的终端设备。
i)当目的IP地址对应的目的终端设备与第二终端设备属于同一PIN网络时,若此目的IP地
址对应的PDU会话也允许本地路由(源IP地址对应的PDU会话和目的IP地址对应的PDU会话
属于不同PDU会话,即,这两个PDU会话均允许本地路由;若源IP地址对应的PDU会话和目的
IP地址对应的PDU会话属于相同PDU会话,上述已知该PDU会话允许本地路由),则第二终端
设备将上述业务流数据包直接发送给上述目的终端设备,无需经过运营商网络中的节点,如5GC,
即第二终端设备执行本地路由。
若,此目标IP地址对应的PDU会话不允许本地路由,则第二终端设备将上述业务流数据通过
PDU会话发送给5GC,即第二终端设备不执行不本地路由。
ii)否则,即此目的IP地址对应的目的设备与第二终端设备不属于相同PIN网络,则第二终
端设备将业务流数据包通过PDU会话发送给5GC,即第二终端设备不执行本地路由。
b)如果此PDU会话的业务流不允许本地路由,即此PDU会话的DNN或切片信息不属于PIN网络本地路由规则包含的DNN(s)或切片信息,则第二终端设备将上述业务流数据包通过PDU会话发送给5GC,即第二终端设备不执行本地路由。
上述举例中,第二终端设备先通过获取到的业务流的源IP地址确定是否可以本地路由,然后在基于该判断结果的基础上进一步做判断。实际实现中,也可以不限于该先后顺序,而是根据实际需要灵活安排。比如,当业务流对应的目的设备与第二终端设备属于同一PIN网络时,第二终端设备分别判断源IP地址对应的PDU会话和目的IP地址对应的PDU会话是否支持本地路由,在源IP地址对应的PDU会话和目的IP地址对应的PDU会话都支持本地路由时,执行本地路由。
可能的实现方式2:上述的第一PIN网络本地路由规则可以包括设备标识列表,其中设备标识列表中的设备标识对应的业务流允许进行本地路由。设备标识可以包括但不限于MAC地址、IP地址、设备名称等。设备标识可以用于标识PIN成员和/或PEGC。可选的,该第一PIN网络本地路由规则除了包含设备标识列表外,还可以包括本地路由指示信息,本地路由指示信息指示设备标识列表中的设备标识对应的业务流允许进行本地路由。
一个示例中,上述S403中,若获取到的业务流与该第一PIN网络本地路由规则中的设备标识列表匹配,第二终端设备对获取到的业务流进行本地路由,即第二终端设备在第二终端设备所在的PIN网络内,将该业务流发送给该业务流的目的终端设备。其中,业务流与第一PIN网络本地路由规则中的该设备标识列表匹配,是指第一PIN网络本地路由规则中的设备标识列表包含该业务流对应的设备标识。
另一个示例中,在上述S403中,第二终端设备根据第一PIN网络本地路由规则,结合本地策略和/或用户偏好,对获取到的业务流进行本地路由。也就是说,已经被允许本地路由的范围中,进一步根据第二终端设备的本地策略和/用户偏好进行限定,可以提升用户控制感,优化用户体验。
例如,第二终端设备根据本地策略和/或用户偏好,在上述设备标识列表中,确定设备标识以及设备标识对应的地址信息,向第一终端设备发送该地址信息与该设备标识的对应关系,第一终端设备根据该对应关系,获取第二PIN网络本地路由规则,然后向第二终端设备发送第二PIN网络本地路由规则,若获取到的业务流与第二PIN网络本地路由规则匹配,第二终端设备在第二终端设备所在的PIN网络内,将业务流发送给业务流的目的终端设备。
这里考虑到地址信息为IP地址的情况,由于IP地址通常是随机分配的,在通信过程中可能会发生改变(即,同一个设备在两次通信过程中可能被分配到了不同的IP地址)。如果第二终端设备仅上报IP地址,则第二PIN网络本地路由规则也仅能根据该上报的IP地址确定,若终端的IP地址发生了变化,就会导致第二终端设备根据第二PIN网络本地路由规则中的IP地址所定位到的设备,和业务流实际所对应的设备不同,导致业务流本地路由出错。
而设备标识是设备的签约信息,在通信过程中固定不变。如果第二终端设备上报对应关系,则第二PIN网络本地路由规则根据该对应关系确定。若第二PIN网络本地路由规则包括设备标识,则第二终端设备可以根据业务流对应的设备标识与第二PIN网络本地路由规则中的设备标识进行匹配,从而决策是否允许本地路由。若第二PIN网络本地路由规则包括IP地址,则第二终端设备可以根据业务流中的IP地址与第二PIN网络本地路由规则中的IP地址进行匹配,从而决策是否允许本地路由(在终端的IP地址发生变化的情况下,由于第一终端设备具有PIN网络管理能力,因此第一终端设备可以获取到该终端的IP地址发生了变化,若第二PIN网络本地路由规则由策略控制功能网元生成,则第一终端设备可以将该终端的IP地址进行上报,策略控制功能网元对第二PIN网络本地路由规则中的IP地址进行更新,然后将更新后的第二PIN网络本地路由规则下发给第二终端设备)。若第二PIN网络本地路由规则包括设备标识和IP地址,则第二终端设备根据业务流中的IP地址与第二PIN网络本地路由规则中的IP地址进行匹配,从而决策是否允许本地路由,由于业务流数据包的包头携带IP地址,因此在保证准确进行业务流本地路由的基础上,可以提高第二终端设备的决策效率。也就是说,第二终端设备通过上报地址信息与设备标识的对应关系,可以保证更准确地进行业务流的本地路由。
示例的,第二终端设备在设备标识列表中确定设备标识时,可以在PIN成员列表中确定一个或多个PIN成员,和/或在PIN网关设备列表中确定一个或多个PIN网关设备。其中,与第二终端设备确定的一个或多个PIN网关设备所对应的终端设备均允许进行本地路由,与PIN网关设备所对应的终端设备指能够与PIN网关设备通信的终端设备,即发往该终端设备的业务流通过PIN网关设备进行转发。可选的,第二终端设备确定的一个或多个PIN网关设备可以包括该第二终端设备本身,也可以包括除第二终端设备外的其它PIN网关设备。
一种可能的实现中,第一终端设备根据对应关系,获取第二PIN网络本地路由规则可以是:向策略控制功能网元发送对应关系,策略控制功能网元根据该对应关系,生成第二PIN网络本地路由规则,然后向第一终端设备发送该第二PIN网络本地路由规则。具体的,策略控制功能网元确定该对应关系中的设备标识允许进行本地路由,则在生成第二PIN网络本地路由规则中包括允许本地路由的设备标识所对应的地址信息。
另一种可能的实现中,第一终端设备根据对应关系,获取第二PIN网络本地路由规则可以是:第 一终端设备根据该对应关系,生成第二PIN网络本地路由规则。具体的,第一终端设备确定该对应关系中的设备标识允许进行本地路由,则在生成第二PIN网络本地路由规则中包括该对应关系中的地址信息。
通过上述方式获取的第二PIN网络本地路由规则包括地址信息。地址信息指示该地址信息对应的业务流允许进行本地路由。可选的,上述第二PIN网络本地路由规则中,也可以包括设备标识。其中,设备标识指示该设备标识对应的业务流允许进行本地路由。在上述S403中,若获取到的业务流与该第二PIN网络本地路由规则匹配,第二终端设备对获取到的业务流进行本地路由。
其中,业务流与第二PIN网络本地路由规则匹配,包括以下一个或多个情况:
情况2.1:第二PIN网络本地路由规则中的流描述信息包含业务流中数据包携带的信息。
该情况2.1与上述情况1.1相似,在此不赘述。
情况2.2:第二PIN网络本地路由规则中的PIN成员包含业务流对应的PIN成员。
第二PIN网络本地路由规则中的业务流对应的PIN成员包括上行业务流对应的PIN成员,和/或下行业务流对应的PIN成员。上行业务流对应的PIN成员为发出该上行业务流的成员,下行业务流对应的PIN成员为接收该下行业务流的PIN成员。其中,PIN成员通过设备标识进行唯一标识。
情况2.3:第二PIN网络本地路由规则中的PIN成员包含业务流对应的目的终端设备。
第二PIN网络本地路由规则中的业务流对应的目的终端设备指接收该业务流的终端设备,例如目的终端设备可以通过业务流中的目的IP地址确定,或者通过该目的IP地址对应的设备标识确定。
情况2.4:第二PIN网络本地路由规则中的地址信息包含业务流中的目的地址信息。
该情况表示业务流中的目的地址信息属于第二PIN网络本地路由规则中的地址信息,表示该业务流属于允许本地路由的业务流。
本申请实施例中涉及的“PDU会话”可以为支持一种或多种接入技术的PDU会话。接入技术可以是但不限于是以下接入类型中的一个或多个:3GPP接入,non-3GPP接入,LTE接入,5GRAN接入,可信non-3GPP接入,非可信non-3GPP接入,无线局域网(wireless local area network,WLAN)接入,可信WLAN接入,非可信WLAN接入,有线网络接入(固网接入),可信Wi-Fi接入,或非可信Wi-Fi接入等。一个PDU会话包括一个或多个QoS流。
