本申请通过根据指示信息,将业务一致的至少一个多播会话中的一个多播会话的业务数据,发送至终端设备,从而避免网络设备重复发送业务内容及服务区域相同的数据,降低了网络设备的通信负荷压力。
本申请提供的业务数据处理方法中,是具有多个核心网设备参与的。
本申请应用于MBS业务传输架构MBS是指多播广播业务(Multicast and Broadcast Service,MBS)是面向多个终端设备(User Equipment,终端设备)的业务,例如直播业务、公共安全业务、批量软件更新业务等。
MBS业务来自数据服务器,首先数据服务器将MBS数据发送给核心网设备,然后核心网设备将MBS数据发送给基站,最后基站将MBS数据发送给接收MBS业务的至少一个终端设备。
从核心网向基站发送的时候,MBS业务通过一个公共的传输通道MBS会话进行传输,每个MBS会话中可以包含至少一个MBS QoS流。而从基站向终端设备发送的时候,数据包通过MBS无线承载传输,对于一个MBS无线承载来说有两种传输模式:第一种可以采用PTM(point to multi-point,点到多点)传输方式;第二种可以采用PTP(point to point,点到点)传输方式。MBS业务传输过程如图3所示,组播业务架构如图4所示。
组播业务是针对高Qos需求业务设计的,需要针对组播业务进行组管理,可以提供和单播业务相同的 QoS等级。具体的对于组播业务,核心网需要管理终端设备的加入和退出。对于核心网和基站之间的传输依托于PDU session,引入新的MBS QoS flow。对于网络设备,支持PTP和PTM传输方式向终端设备发送数据,并且支持由网络设备控制的PTP和PTM之间的动态切换。组播业务只能提供给RRC连接态终端设备,需要gNB和CN维护多播业务组对应的终端设备信息。同时对于组播业务还支持由核心网触发的MBS session去激活/激活,终端设备不感知业务状态。
为了尽量避免网络基础设施的重复建设,节约网络整体投资,缓解5G网络建设面临的巨额资金压力,加快推动5G的商用步伐,可考虑加大网络共建共享力度。网络设备sharing主要指一个网络设备(无线网络)可以连接到多个运营商核心网节点,可以由多个运营商合作共建网络设备,也可以是其中一个运营商单独建设网络设备,而其他运营商租用该运营商的网络设备网络。
从资源的共享力度以及业务的独立性等角度分别介绍如下:
MOCN:共载频共享,这种共享方式下核心网独立;配置管理、告警管理、性能指标等都需要主运营商管理,部分性能指标可区分PLMN进行监控,无法单独开通特性。BBU、RRU/AAU均共享,站点侧网络设备设备全共享,共享不同运营商的某段或某几段载波,形成一个连续大带宽的共享载波,可以降低基础设施和设备费用。5G网络设备共载频共享(MOCN)如图5所示,5G网络设备分载频共享(MO网络设备)如图6所示。
在MOCN场景下,基站可以收到来自多个核心网提供的广播业务。AF可以向这些核心网提供多个MBS会话,由于业务内容是相同的,每个核心网会向同一个共享NG-网络设备节点下发相同的内容。因此,对于广播MBS会话,额外消耗的无线资源将是所需的(N-1)倍,其中N是所涉及的核心网数量。为了解决这个问题,可以考虑在网络设备共享场景下提供广播业务时,在空口只发一份数据包。其中,对于NG-U tunnel,可以建立一条共享的tunnel,也可以为每个PLMN建议一条tunnel。对于NG-C message,每个PLMN触发各自的MBS session start req终端设备st message(包括TMGI和MBS service area等)。在空口控制面,MCCH中需要配置每个PLMN对应的TMGI,相同的G-RNTI以及LCID。而在空口用户面,需要使用的相同的G-RNTI以及LCID发送一份数据包。网络设备共享下广播流程如图7所示。
由同一个运营商提供服务的用户,在NG-U tunnel可以建立其中一个或者所有PLMN所对应的;在空口控制面,两个运营商可以分别配置对应的TMGI(业务标识)、相同的G-RNTI以及LCID;基于上述的配置在空口用户面,网络可以使用相同的G-RNTI以及LCID发送一份数据包,不同运营商的终端设备接收同一个数据包。
一个local MBS service就是只在一个MBS服务区域中提供的一种MBS服务,而一个Location dependent MBS service是在多个MBS服务区域中提供的一种MBS服务。一个MBS服务区域可以定义为一个小区列表或者一个跟踪区域列表。MBS服务区域可以是地理区域信息或者公民地址信息,并且NEF/MBSF可以将位置信息翻译为Cell ID list或者TAI list,以此来作为MBS服务区域。对于Location dependent MBS service来说,每个MBS服务区域使用相同的MBS session ID,但是使用不同的area session ID。因此,将MBS session ID与area session ID结合可以唯一标识MBS服务的内容数据的服务区域特定部分。此时,用户只能感知MBS session ID,且无需感知area session ID。此外,关于不同MBS服务区域的信息可以由一个或者多个AF提供。在一个MBS会话中,不同的MB-SMF和/或MB-UPF可以分配给不同的MBS服务区域,此时这个MBS会话分配了相同的TMGI。
主要包括TMGI分配和MBS session creation过程。在TMGI分配过程中,AF需要将TMGI number以及MBS service area通过TMGI allocation req终端设备st消息发送给NEF/MBSF。NEF/MBSF会将地理信息或者公民位置信息翻译为cell list或者TAI list。MB-SMF会分配TMGI并且返还给AF。因此,在AF执行Service Announcement时可以携带TMGI以及MBS service area,其中MBS service area信息可以是Cell ID list、TAI list、地理区域信息或者公民地址信息。其中,Cell ID list和TAI list只有当AF驻留在信任区域中,且AF可以感知这类信息时才可以使用。此外,在MBS session creation执行过程中,还需要根据以下规则:
首先,多个AF可以启动相同的广播MBS session,在此session中在不同的MBS服务区域可以提供不同的内容。其次,NEF可以将MBS服务区域的外部标识转换为内部标识,例如cell ID list和TAI list。最后,对于location dependent广播服务来说,MB-SMF可以分配area session ID,并且用TMGI和area session ID更新其NF文件。
对于网络设备共享场景,在现有技术中,基站可以识别来自两个运营商的广播业务为同一个广播业务,主要有两种方式:
1)采用信令通知的方式使共享NG-RAN感知不同PLMN针对需要建立的同一广播业务的关联,可以表示为TMGI+Indication,Indication是MBS session级别的指示信息。
2)采用OAM配置的方式使共享NG-RAN感知不同PLMN针对需要建立的同一广播业务的关联,即在OAM中配置了MBS session级别的指示信息。
现有技术中每个运营商可以通过各自的核心网以及基站为用户提供广播服务。即使在网络设备共享场景下,每个运营商仍然执行上述策略,即利用共享NG-RAN在空口发送各自运营商的数据包。为了提高资源效率,每个运营商的数据包可以在网络设备侧合并,并在空口只发送一套数据包。然而,网络设备侧需要识别多个运营商的内容是否为相同的内容。在现有技术中,无论是信令通知的方式或者OAM配置的方式,只能够识别出MBS session级别的内容。例如,假设提供天气预报业务,对于location dependent MBS service,现有技术只能识别在所有的MBS service area中提供天气预报业务,但是无法识别在每个dependent区域中提供的是海淀天气预报还是昌平天气预报。
而且在识别为相同的内容之后,需要判断MBS服务区域是否相同。在此过程中,由于NEF会将实际地理区域信息转换为Cell ID list或者TAI list,而不同运营商对于小区规划以及转换后的信息标识可能并不相同,导致基站无法识别不同运营商分配的area session ID之间的对应关系,从而网络设备侧无法判断是否要在空口只发送一套数据包。例如,对于location dependent MBS服务,AF可以为运营商A和运营商B提供相同的业务内容,即在区域area 1为运营商A提供的会话可以表示为area session 1,在区域area 2为运营商B提供的会话可以表示为area session 2,其中area session 1和area session 2所表示的业务内容相同。此时,若area 1和area 2相同,或者area 1和area 2存在重叠的小区,网络设备侧就可以在相同的区域中在空口只发一份数据包。现有技术无法判断是否存在上述相同区域,无法合并空口数据,导致资源浪费。
本发明主要应用于5G NR系统。本发明也可以应用于其它的通信系统,只要该通信系统中存在实体需要发送信息,而另一个实体需要接收该信息。

示例性地,如果第四请求消息中的临时多播标示编号是北京市天气预报,则生成北京市天气预报的多播会话标识,如:MBS session ID1。
如果第一区域信息包括:第一小区、第二小区、第三小区和第四小区;核心网设备A根据其中预置的区域划分规则中,将第一小区和第二小区设为一个多播区域会话标识,将第三小区和第四小区设为另一个区域会话标识;例如:表征第一小区和第二小区属于海淀区的多播区域会话标识area session ID1,以及表征第三小区和第四小区属于昌平区的多播区域会话标识area session ID2。
S103:核心网设备向网络设备发送第一请求消息。
本步骤中,第一请求消息用于指示创建一个业务的至少一个多播会话,第一请求消息包括指示信息,指示信息用于确定一个业务的至少一个多播会话的多播服务区域;
第一请求消息用于根据指示信息,将业务一致的至少一个多播会话中的一个多播会话的业务数据,发送至终端设备。
于本实施例中,核心网设备还对指示信息的多播服务区域进行配置,例如:核心网设备A根据需要将第一区域信息中的第一小区和第二小区配置给flag1,说明对于核心网设备A来说,第一小区和第二小区属于海淀区;及将第一区域信息中的第三小区和第四小区配置给flag2,则说明对于核心网设备A来说,第三小区和第四小区属于昌平区。
S104:网络设备接收核心网设备发送的第一请求消息;其中,第一请求消息用于指示创建一个业务的至少一个多播会话。
本步骤中,第一请求消息包括指示信息,指示信息用于确定一个业务的至少一个多播会话的多播服务区域。
于本实施例中,通过对多个第一请求消息的业务级别标识进行对比,判断多个第一请求消息的业务是否一致。具体地,业务级别标识是表征第一请求消息对应数据的业务的名称或编号。
示例性地,基于上述举例,将第一请求消息中业务级别标识一致的第一请求消息,设为业务一致的第一请求消息。例如:如果业务级别标识为“天气预报”,则将所有记载有“天气预报”的第一请求消息均设为业务一致的第一请求消息。
根据第一请求消息创建向处于第一小区、第二小区、第三小区和第四小区的终端输出数据的多播会话。
S105:网络设备根据指示信息,将业务一致的至少一个多播会话中的一个多播会话的业务数据,发送至终端设备。
本步骤中,业务一致的至少一个多播会话是业务一致且指示信息一致的至少一个多播会话,数据是指网络设备中在一个业务下的某一多播会话中传递的业务数据。
进一步地,第一请求消息中的指示信息是根据核心网设备的现实需求,对一个业务中的至少一个多播会话配置多播服务区域的数据信息。
示例性地,通过获取业务级别标识识别业务一致的至少一个多播会话,其中,业务级别标识是描述业务的业务类型的信息。
基于上述举例,以下提供一种综合举例:
核心网设备包括:核心网设备A、核心网设备B、核心网设备C、核心网设备D;各核心网设备输出的第一请求消息的业务级别标识均为“天气预报”。
核心网设备A输出的第一请求消息的指示信息包括:flag1和flag2,flag1表征海淀区天气预报的多播会话的多播服务区域为第一小区和第二小区,flag2表征昌平区天气预报的多播会话的多播服务区域为第三小区和第四小区。
核心网设备B输出的第一请求消息的指示信息包括:flag1、flag2和flag3,flag1表征海淀区天气预报的多播会话的多播服务区域为第一小区和第二小区,flag2表征昌平区天气预报的多播会话的多播服务区域为第三小区,flag3表征朝阳区天气预报的多播会话的多播服务区域为第四小区。

核心网设备D输出的第一请求消息的指示信息包括:flag1,flag1表征海淀区天气预报的多播会话的多播服务区域为第一小区、第二小区。
因此,网络设备得到的指示信息如下表所示:
由于核心网设备A、核心网设备B、核心网设备C、核心网设备D在第一小区和第二小区的指示信息均为flag1,则说明对于核心网设备A、核心网设备B、核心网设备C、核心网设备D来说第一小区和第二小区均属于海淀区,因此,只需要向处于第一小区和第二小区内,属于核心网设备A、核心网设备B、核心网设备C、核心网设备D的运营商用户的终端设备,发送一个flag1对应的海淀区天气预报即可。
由于核心网设备A和核心网设备B在第三小区的指示信息为flag2,说明对于核心网设备A和核心网设备B来说第三小区属于昌平区,因此,只需要向第三小区内,属于核心网设备A和核心网设备B的运营商用户的终端设备,发送一个flag2对应的昌平区天气预报即可。
由于核心网设备C在第三小区的指示信息为flag1,则说明对于核心网设备C来说第三小区属于海淀区,因此,因此,需要单独向第三小区内,属于核心网设备C的运营商用户的终端设备,发送一个flag1对应的海淀区天气预报。
由于核心网设备A在第四小区的指示信息为flag2,则说明对于核心网设备A来说,第四小区属于昌平区,因此,需要单独向第四小区内,属于核心网设备A的运营商用户的终端设备,发送一个flag2对应的昌平区天气预报。
由于核心网设备B在第四小区内的指示信息为flag3,则说明对于核心网设备C来说,第四小区属于朝阳区,因此,需要单独向第四小区内,属于核心网设备B的运营商用户的终端设备,发送一个flag3对应的朝阳区天气预报。
S106:核心网设备根据第四请求消息生成第一响应消息(MBS session create response,多播会话创建响应)。
本步骤中,第一响应消息用于指示应用网元生成第五请求消息;第五请求消息用于指示生成第一请求消息;
第一响应消息包括与第四请求消息对应的第一请求消息一致的多播会话标识、多播区域会话标识、指示信息和第一区域信息,第五请求消息包括与第一响应消息一致的多播区域会话标识、多播会话标识、第一区域信息和指示信息;或第一响应消息包括与第四请求消息对应的第一请求消息一致的多播会话标识、第二区域信息和指示信息;第五请求消息包括与第一响应消息一致的多播会话标识、第二区域信息和指示信息。
于本实施例中,通过根据第四请求消息生成第一响应消息,使第一响应消息与第四请求消息对应的第一请求消息与之间的多播会话标识、多播区域会话标识、指示信息、以及第一区域信息或第二区域信息一致。
第四请求消息包括临时多播组标示编号和指示信息,以及第一区域信息或第二区域信息;临时多播标示编号用于生成多播会话标识;临时多播组标示编号和第一区域信息用于生成多播区域会话标识;第一区域信息是多播区域会话标识对应的多播服务区域;第二区域信息是多播会话标识对应的多播服务区域。
S107:应用网元接收核心网设备发送的第一响应消息,根据第一响应消息生成第五请求消息,及将第五请求消息发送至其他的核心网设备。
本步骤中,第一响应消息用于指示应用网元生成第五请求消息;第五请求消息用于指示生成第一请求消息;第一响应消息包括:多播会话标识、多播区域会话标识、第一区域信息和指示信息,第五请求消息包括与第一响应消息一致的多播区域会话标识、多播会话标识、第一区域信息和指示信息;或第一响应消息包括:多播会话标识、第二区域信息和指示信息;第五请求消息包括与第一响应消息一致的多播会话标识、第二区域信息和指示信息。
通过向应用网元发送第一响应消息,使应用网元直接根据第一响应消息,生成能够直接生成第一请求消息的第五请求消息,并且使第五请求消息对应的第一请求消息与第四请求消息对应的第一请求消息一致,实现接收第四请求消息的核心网设备A与接收第五请求消息的核心网设备B、和/或核心网设备C、和/或核心网设备D,能够生成内容一致的第一请求消息,实现了基于一个核心网设备的第一请求消息,即可使至少一个其他的核心网设备生成内容一致的第一请求消息的技术效果,进而无需再次对第四请求消息进行处理方可获得相应的第一请求消息,提高了第一请求消息的生成效率。
S108:其他的核心网设备将根据第五请求消息生成的第一请求消息发送至网络设备。
本步骤中,其他的核心网设备将第一请求消息发送至网络设备,实现了多个核心网设备能够直接生成内容一致的第一请求消息,并将其发送至网络设备的技术效果。避免了各核心网设备需要根据第四请求消息再次生成第一请求消息,导致第一请求消息生成效率低下的情况发生。
在一个场景中,当应用网元发送了指示信息时:
在MBS session生成时,应用网元分别向多个运营商的MB-SMF(核心网设备)发送MBS session create request消息(第四请求消息),其中包括TMGI number,MBS service area,同时携带相关的指示信息,指示信息可以是业务名称、业务列表等;
具体的,对于每个MBS多播服务区域,应用网元可以向MB-SMF为此多播服务区域创建一个MBS session的location dependent部分,并且通过NEF/MBSF提供转换后的多播服务区域,包括Cell ID list或者TAI list。同时,应用网元在请求消息中携带相关的指示信息,即业务1可以表示为Flag1,业务2为Flag2。此业务标识可以是业务的名称,例如海淀天气预报或者昌平天气预报,也可以是一组业务列表中的index值,每个index值表示不同的业务。
MB-SMF向应用网元发送MBS session create response消息(第一响应消息),其中包括分配的area session ID,以及对应的指示信息。
具体的,对于location dependent MBS业务来说,MB-SMF会给MBS session的location dependent部分分配area session ID,同时携带相应的指示信息。例如,对于运营商A的location dependent MBS业务,在多播服务区域cell1(第一小区),cell2(第二小区)分配area session ID1+Flag1,在多播服务区域cell3(第三小区),cell4(第四小区)分配area session ID2+Flag2。对于运营商B的location dependent MBS业务,在多播服务区域cell1,cell2分配area session ID3+Flag1,在多播服务区域cell3分配area session ID4+Flag2,在多播服务区域cell4分配area session ID5+Flag3。对于local MBS业务来说,MB-SMF直接分配TMGI,假设存在运营商C,在多播服务区域cell1,cell2和cell3分配MBS session ID+Flag1,存在运营商D,在多播服务区域cell1和cell2分配MBS session ID+Flag1。然后通过NEF将上述信息其转发给应用网元。
MB-SMF通过AMF向共享NG-RAN发送MBS session start message request消息(第一请求消息),其中包括MBS session ID,MBS service area以及相应的指示信息。
共享NG-RAN节点可以根据area session ID+Flag判断是否在相同的区域中存在相同的业务。如果存在,则在相同的区域中合并业务,在空口只发一套数据包。若不存在,则不合并。
具体的,首先根据现有技术判断两个运营商的是否提供了相同的业务,即MBS session级别的标识相同。对于信令通知的方式,例如核心网可以采用TMGI+service的方式,service表示不同的业务类型,若两个运营商使用的service相同,则表示提供了相同的MBS session级别的业务。对于OAM配置的方式,核心网只采用TMGI信令,但是共享NG-RAN可以直接识别不同的业务类型。
若两个运营商都提供location dependent MBS服务:
若使用信令通知的方式:当判断两个运营商使用了相同的MBS session级别的业务时,则根据上述area session ID与Flag的对应关系可知,运营商A和B在相同的区域中cell1和cell2中存在相同的业务Flag1,在相同的区域cell3中存在相同的业务Flag2,则NG-RAN节点可以将cell1和cell2的业务进行合并,在空口只发一套Flag1业务的数据,将cell3业务进行合并,在空口只发一套Flag2业务的数据。由于运营商A和B在cell4中存在两种不同的业务Flag2和Flag3,因此cell4中的业务不必做合并。如果判断两个运营商使用的MBS session级别的业务不同,则后续Flag无论是否相同,都不做合并。
当采用OAM配置的方式:基站识别两个运营商提供的MBS session级别的业务相同,则与上述信令通知方式相同,通过Flag是否相同判断是否合并。若基站识别业务不同,则Flag无论是否相同,都不做合并。
若两个运营商分别提供location dependent MBS服务和local MBS服务:
若使用信令通知的方式:当判断两个运营商使用了相同的MBS session级别的业务时,则根据上述area session ID与Flag的对应关系可知,对于运营商A和D在相同的区域中cell1和cell2中存在相同的业务Flag1,则NG-RAN节点可以将cell1和cell2的业务进行合并,在空口只发一套Flag1业务的数据。对于运营商A和C在相同的区域cell1和cell2存在相同的业务Flag1,在cell3中Flag并不相同。则NG-RAN节点可以将cell1和cell2的业务进行合并,在空口只发一套Flag1业务的数据。如果判断两个运营商使用的MBS session级别的业务不同,则后续Flag无论是否相同,都不做合并。
当采用OAM配置的方式:基站识别两个运营商提供的MBS session级别的业务相同,则与上述信令通知方式相同,通过Flag是否相同判断是否合并。若基站识别业务不同,则Flag无论是否相同,都不做合并。

若使用信令通知的方式:假设运营商A在服务区域cell1,cell2分配area session ID1,在cell3,cell4分配area session ID2。运营商B在服务区域cell1,cell2分配area session ID3,在cell3分配area session ID4,在cell4分配area session ID5。基站已经通过MBS session级别的标识获知两个运营商提供相同的session级别的业务。若基站判断area session ID1和area session ID3提供的是相同的业务,由于存在cell1和cell2都提供相同的业务,则基站可以合并cell1和cell2中提供的业务,在空口只发一套数据。若基站判断area session ID2和area session ID4提供的是相同的业务,虽然运营商A和B都在cell3分配了相同的业务,但是在cell4提供的业务area session ID5不同,因此无法进行业务合并。
当采用OAM配置的方式:基站识别两个运营商提供的MBS session级别的业务相同,则与上述信令通知方式相同。
对于涉及S206:核心网设备根据第六请求消息生成第二响应消息和S207:应用网元接收核心网设备发送的第二响应信息,根据第二响应信息生成第七请求消息,及将第七请求消息发送至核心网设备的场景:
在MBS session生成时,应用网元向第一个运营商的MB-SMF发送MBS session create request消息(第六请求消息),其中包括TMGI number,MBS service area。
具体的,若第一个运营商提供的业务为location dependent MBS业务,应用网元可以向第一个运营商的MB-SMF为此服务区域创建一个MBS session的location dependent部分,并且通过NEF/MBSF提供转换后的服务区域,包括Cell ID list或者TAI list。
第一个运营商的MB-SMF向应用网元发送MBS session create response消息,其中包括分配的area session ID/MBS session ID。
具体的,对于location dependent MBS业务来说,MB-SMF会给MBS session的location dependent部分分配area session ID。例如,若第一个运营商提供location dependent MBS业务,则假设存在运营商A在服务区域cell1,cell2分配area session ID1。在服务区域cell3,cell4分配area session ID2。若第一个运营商提供local MBS业务,则MB-SMF会直接分配MBS session ID(TMGI)。假设存在运营商C,在服务区域cell1,cell2和cell3分配MBS session ID(TMGI),存在运营商D,在服务区域cell1和cell2分配MBS session ID(TMGI)。然后通过NEF将上述信息其转发给应用网元。
第一个运营商的MB-SMF通过其AMF向共享NG-RAN发送MBS session start message request消息(第一请求消息),其中包括MBS session ID,MBS service area。
应用网元在相同的区域生成MBS session时,向第二个运营商的MB-SMF发送MBS session create request消息(第七请求消息),其中包括与第一个运营商相同的MBS session ID/area session ID。
若两个运营商都提供location dependent MBS服务:
若使用信令通知的方式:由于两个运营商在相同的区域提供了相同的MBS session级别的业务,则假设存在第二个运营商B提供location dependent MBS业务,在cell1,cell2分配与运营商A相同的area session ID1。在服务区域cell3,cell4分配与运营商A相同的area session ID2。
当采用OAM配置的方式:基站识别两个运营商提供的MBS session级别的业务相同,则与上述信令通知方式相同。
图10为本申请实施例提供的一种业务数据处理方法的信令图,如图10所示,该方法包括:
S301:应用网元向核心网设备发送的第八请求消息。

于本实施例中,临时多播组标示编号中的临时多播组标示,英文是Temporary multicast Group Identifier,其简称是TMGI,临时多播组标示编号是一个业务的多播会话的唯一性标识。
示例性地,第八请求消息包括:临时多播组标示编号表示:天气预报;第二区域信息包括:第一小区、第二小区、第三小区。
S302:核心网设备接收应用网元发送的第八请求消息。
其中,第八请求消息用于指示生成第三请求消息;第八请求消息包括临时多播组标示编号和第二区域信息;临时多播标示编号用于生成多播会话标识。
于本实施例中,多播会话标识是MBS session ID,其中,MBS是多播广播业务(Multicast and Broadcast Service),其为面向多个终端设备(User Equipment,UE)的业务,例如直播业务、公共安全业务、批量软件更新业务等。Session是会话,Session是指会话控制,是保存在服务器上一种机制,当客户端访问服务器的时候,服务器会把信息以某种形式记录在服务器上。
多播会话标识是MBS session ID,表征了业务的多播服务区域,该多播服务区域中具有至少一个第二区域信息,第二区域信息是业务所对应的具体的多播服务区域。
示例性地,如果第八请求消息中的临时多播标示编号是北京市天气预报,核心网设备C根据其中预置的业务规则生成北京市天气预报的多播会话标识,如:MBS session ID6;如果第八请求消息的第二区域信息包括:第一小区、第二小区、第三小区;那么,将MBS session ID6的多播服务区域设为第一小区、第二小区、第三小区。
如果第八请求消息中的临时多播标示编号是北京市天气预报,核心网设备D根据其中预置的业务规则生成北京市天气预报的多播会话标识,如:MBS session ID7;如果第八请求消息的第二区域信息包括:第一小区、第二小区;那么,将MBS session ID7的多播服务区域设为第一小区和第二小区。
S303:核心网设备向网络设备发送第三请求消息。
其中,第三请求消息包括多播会话标识和第二区域信息;多播会话标识用于识别一个多播会话;第二区域信息是多播会话标识对应的多播服务区域;

其中,第二请求消息用于指示创建一个业务的至少一个多播会话;第二请求消息包括多播会话标识、多播区域会话标识和第一区域信息;多播会话标识用于识别一个多播会话;多播区域会话标识用于确定一个多播会话中的一个区域会话;第一区域信息是多播区域会话标识对应的多播服务区域;第三请求消息用于指示创建一个业务的至少一个多播会话;第三请求消息包括多播会话标识和第二区域信息;第二区域信息是多播会话标识对应的多播服务区域。
于本实施例中,通过对多个第二请求消息和第三请求消息的业务级别标识进行对比,判断多个第二请求消息和第三请求消息的业务是否一致。具体地,业务级别标识是表征第三请求消息对应数据的业务的名称或编号。
示例性地,基于上述举例,将第二请求消息和第三请求消息中业务级别标识一致的第二请求消息和第三请求消息,设为业务一致的第二请求消息和第三请求消息。例如:如果业务级别标识为“天气预报”,则将所有记载有“天气预报”的第二请求消息和第三请求消息均设为业务一致的第二请求消息和第三请求消息。
根据核心网设备C发送的第三请求消息创建向处于第一小区、第二小区、第三小区的终端输出数据的多播会话;以及根据核心网设备D发送的第三请求消息创建向处于第一小区和第二小区的终端输出数据的多播会话。
S305:根据第二请求消息中的多播会话标识、多播区域会话标识和第一区域信息与第三请求消息中的 多播会话标识和第二区域信息,将业务一致的至少一个多播会话中的一个多播会话的业务数据,发送至终端设备。
本步骤中,业务一致的至少一个多播会话是,在业务一致的多播会话标识中,多播会话标识对应的第二区域信息,与多播会话标识的多播区域会话标识对应的第一区域信息一致的多播会话。
于本实施例中,清单是预置在核心网设备中,用于定义多播会话标识与业务级别标识之间对应关系,以及多播区域会话标识与第一区域信息之间映射关系的规则文件,例如:Cell ID list(多播服务区域清单)或者TAI list(台账清单)。
示例性地,通过获取业务级别标识识别业务一致的至少一个多播会话,其中,业务级别标识是描述业务的业务类型的信息。
基于上述举例,以下提供一种综合举例:
核心网设备包括:核心网设备C、核心网设备D;各核心网设备输出的第一请求消息的业务级别标识均为“天气预报”。
核心网设备C输出的第一请求消息包括:【MBS session ID6】、【第一小区、第二小区、第三小区】。
核心网设备D向网络设备发送的第二请求消息包括:【MBS session ID7】、【第一小区、第二小区】。
从核心网设备C获得的清单如下表所示:
从核心网设备D获得的清单如下所示:
因此,基于核心网设备C和核心网设备D的清单,以及实施例2中的根据核心网设备A和核心网设备B的清单,以核心网设备A和核心网设备C之间的多播会话进行举例:
核心网设备A发送的第一请求消息的多播区域会话标识【area session ID1】,用于将海淀区天气预报的数据发送至第一小区和第二小区的终端设备。核心网设备C发送的第三请求消息的多播会话标识【MBS session ID6】用于将天气预报的数据发送至第一小区、第二小区和第三小区。
如果确认第一请求消息对应的第一区域信息与第二请求消息对应的第二区域信息之间相同的多播服务区域,远大于第一区域信息和第二区域信息之间不同的多播服务区域,则将【area session ID1】对应的数据与【MBS session ID6】对应的数据发送至,多播区域会话标识【area session ID1】对应的第一区域信息和多播会话标识【MBS session ID6】对应的第二区域信息的终端设备,即:如果认为第一小区和第二小区的数量2,远大于第三小区的数量1,则将核心网设备A发送的一个海淀区天气预报,或核心网设备C发送的一个天气预报,发送至第一小区、第二小区和第三小区。
如果确认第一请求消息对应的第一区域信息与第二请求消息对应的第二区域信息之间相同的多播服务区域,并非远大于第一区域信息和第二区域信息之间不同的多播服务区域,则将第一请求消息对应的数据,发送至第一请求消息的第一区域信息的终端设备,及将第三请求消息对应的数据,发送至第三请求消息的第二区域信息的终端设备。即:将核心网设备A发送的海淀区天气预报发送至第一小区和第二小区;以及将核心网设备C发送的天气预报发送至第一小区、第二小区和第三小区。
核心网设备A发送的第一请求消息的多播区域会话标识【area session ID1】,用于将海淀区天气预报的数据发送至第一小区和第二小区的终端设备。核心网设备D发送的第三请求消息的多播会话标识【MBS session ID7】用于将天气预报的数据发送至第一小区和第二小区。则将【area session ID1】对应的数据与【MBS session ID7】对应的数据发送至,多播区域会话标识【area session ID1】对应的第一区域信息和多播会话标识【MBS session ID7】对应的第二区域信息的终端设备,即:将核心网设备A发送的一个海淀区天气预报,或核心网设备D发送的一个天气预报,发送至第一小区和第二小区。
S306:核心网设备根据第八请求消息生成第三响应消息。
本步骤中,第三响应消息用于指示应用网元生成第九请求消息;第九请求消息用于指示生成第三请求消息;第三响应消息包括:多播会话标识和第二区域信息;第九请求消息包括与第三响应消息一致的多播 会话标识和第二区域信息。
于本实施例中,通过根据第八请求消息生成第二响应消息,使第二响应消息与第八请求消息对应的第一请求消息与之间的多播会话标识、以及第二区域信息一致。
第八请求消息包括临时多播组标示编号和第二区域信息;临时多播标示编号用于生成多播会话标识;临时多播组标示编号和第二区域信息用于生成多播区域会话标识;第二区域信息是多播区域会话标识对应的多播服务区域;第二区域信息是多播会话标识对应的多播服务区域。
S307:应用网元接收核心网设备发送的第三响应消息,根据第三响应信息生成第九请求消息,及将第九请求消息发送至其他的核心网设备。
本步骤中,第三响应消息用于指示应用网元生成第九请求消息;第九请求消息用于指示核心网设备生成第三请求消息;第三响应消息包括与第八请求消息对应的第三请求消息一致的多播会话标识和第二区域信息;第九请求消息包括与第三响应消息一致的多播会话标识和第二区域信息。
通过向应用网元发送第三响应消息,使应用网元直接根据第三响应消息,生成能够直接生成第一请求消息的第九请求消息,并且使第九请求消息对应的第一请求消息与第八请求消息对应的第一请求消息一致,实现接收第八请求消息的核心网设备C与接收第七请求消息的核心网设备A、和/或核心网设备B、和/或核心网设备D,能够生成内容一致的第一请求消息,实现了基于一个核心网设备的第一请求消息,即可使至少一个其他的核心网设备生成内容一致的第一请求消息的技术效果,进而无需再次对第八请求消息进行处理方可获得相应的第一请求消息,提高了第一请求消息的生成效率。
S308:其他的核心网设备将根据第九请求消息生成的第三请求消息发送至网络设备。
本步骤中,其他的核心网设备将第三请求消息发送至网络设备,实现了多个核心网设备能够直接生成内容一致的第三请求消息,并将其发送至网络设备的技术效果。避免了各核心网设备需要根据第八请求消息再次生成第一请求消息,导致第一请求消息生成效率低下的情况发生。
在一个场景中,当应用网元未发送指示信息时:
在Location dependent MBS session生成时,应用网元向MB-SMF发送MBS session create request消息(第八请求消息),其中包括TMGI number,MBS service area。
具体的,以运营商A为例,对于每个MBS服务区域,应用网元可以向运营商A的MB-SMF为此服务区域创建一个MBS session的location dependent部分,并且通过NEF/MBSF提供转换后的服务区域,包括Cell ID list或者TAI list。对于运营商B,在运营商B的核心网重复上述过程。
MB-SMF向应用网元发送MBS session create response消息,其中包括分配的area session ID/MBS session ID和MBS service area。
具体的,运营商A的SMF向应用网元发送MBS session create response消息,包括其分配的area session ID和MBS service area。例如,对于运营商A的location dependent MBS业务,在服务区域cell1和cell2分配area session ID1,在cell3和cell4分配area session ID2。对于运营商B的location dependent MBS业务,在cell1和cell2分配area session ID3,在cell3分配area session ID4,在cell4分配area session ID5。
MB-SMF通过其AMF向NG-RAN发送MBS session start message request消息(第三请求消息),其中包括MBS session ID/area session ID,MBS service area。
运营商A和B的MB-SMF通过各自的AMF将上一步的分配的area session ID发送给共享NG-RAN节点。
共享NG-RAN节点利用多个运营商的cell ID list/TAI list和area session ID/MBS session ID信息判断是否存在相同的区域以及是否做合并。
若两个运营商分别提供location dependent MBS服务和local MBS服务:
若使用信令通知的方式:假设运营商A在服务区域cell1,cell2分配area session ID1,在cell3,cell4分配area session ID2。运营商C在服务区域cell1,cell2,cell3分配area session ID3。运营商D在服务区域cell1,cell2分配area session ID4。基站已经通过MBS session级别的标识获知上述运营商提供相同的session级别的业务。若基站判断area session ID1和area session ID3/area session ID4提供的是相同的业务,则对于运营商A和运营商D,由于存在cell1和cell2都提供相同的业务,则基站可以合并cell1和cell2中提供的业务,在空口只发一套数据。对于运营商A和运营商C,由于只在cell1和cell2中存在相同的业务,在cell3存在不同的业务。此时,基站需要判断cell ID list中相同cell的数量是否远大于不同cell的数量。如果是,则对相同业务的cell进行合并。如果否,则不做合并。
当采用OAM配置的方式:基站识别两个运营商提供的MBS session级别的业务相同,则与上述信令 通知方式相同。
对于涉及S306:核心网设备根据第八请求消息生成第三响应消息和S307:应用网元接收核心网设备发送的第三响应消息,根据第三响应信息生成第九请求消息,及将第九请求消息发送至核心网设备的场景:

具体的,若第一个运营商提供的业务为location dependent MBS业务,应用网元可以向第一个运营商的MB-SMF为此服务区域创建一个MBS session的location dependent部分,并且通过NEF/MBSF提供转换后的服务区域,包括Cell ID list或者TAI list。
第一个运营商的MB-SMF向应用网元发送MBS session create response消息(第三响应消息),其中包括分配的area session ID/MBS session ID。
具体的,对于location dependent MBS业务来说,MB-SMF会给MBS session的location dependent部分分配area session ID。例如,若第一个运营商提供location dependent MBS业务,则假设存在运营商A在服务区域cell1,cell2分配area session ID1。在服务区域cell3,cell4分配area session ID2。若第一个运营商提供local MBS业务,则MB-SMF会直接分配MBS session ID(TMGI)。假设存在运营商C,在服务区域cell1,cell2和cell3分配MBS session ID(TMGI),存在运营商D,在服务区域cell1和cell2分配MBS session ID(TMGI)。然后通过NEF将上述信息其转发给应用网元。
第一个运营商的MB-SMF通过其AMF向共享NG-RAN发送MBS session start message request消息(第三请求消息),其中包括MBS session ID,MBS service area。

若两个运营商分别提供location dependent MBS服务和local MBS服务:
若使用信令通知的方式:由于两个运营商在相同的区域提供了相同的MBS session级别的业务,则假设存在第二个运营商B提供location dependent MBS业务,若第一个运营商为运营商C,且在其服务区域cell1,cell2和cell3分配MBS session ID(TMGI),则应用网元将运营商C的MBS session ID(TMGI)分配给运营商B的cell1,cell2和cell3区域中。
当采用OAM配置的方式:基站识别两个运营商提供的MBS session级别的业务相同,则与上述信令通知方式相同。
