为了理解本申请实施例方案,在对本申请实施例进行说明之前,先对本申请中的以下名词进行解释说明:
第一网络功能包括SMF;
第二网络功能包括UPF;
第三网络功能包括PCF;
第四网络功能包括PCF、UDM和SMF中的至少一者;
第五网络功能包括UDM;
目标终端:可以理解为发起对目标会话的建立或更新的终端,该目标终端具体可以包括网关终端、非管理终端、管理终端或非网关终端中的至少一项。
本申请实施例中,为了便于说明,将网关终端或非管理终端称之为第一目标终端,将网关终端或非管理终端称之为第三目标终端,将可能是网关终端或非管理终端,也可能是 网关终端或非管理终端称之为第二目标终端。

下面结合附图,通过一些实施例及其应用场景对本申请实施例提供的通信控制方法、会话控制方法、规则配置或更新的控制方法、信息传输方法进行详细地说明。
请参阅图2,本申请实施例提供的第一种通信控制方法用于第一网络功能,该第一网络功能可以是SMF,如图2所示该通信控制方法可以包括以下步骤:
步骤201、第一网络功能根据第一目标状态,执行以下至少一项:
确定目标终端为管理终端、网关终端、非管理终端和非网关终端中的任一项;
确定目标会话为管理会话、网关会话、非管理会话和非网关会话中的任一项;
其中,所述第一目标状态包括以下至少一项:
所述第一网络功能未获知第一信息,或者,所述第一网络功能获知第一信息;
所述第一网络功能未接收到来自所述目标终端的第二信息,或者,所述第一网络功能接收到来自所述目标终端的第二信息;
其中,所述目标会话与所述目标终端相关;所述第一信息与所述目标终端和所述目标会话中至少一者相关,所述第二信息与所述目标终端和所述目标会话中至少一者相关。
一种实施方式中,所述第一信息包括以下至少一项:
终端用户的签约信息;
汇报指示,所述汇报指示信息用于指示所述第一网络功能在接收到会话消息时,向第三网络功能发送第三信息。
这样,第一网络功能可以基于第一信息对终端用户进行权限认证,且确定仅通过权限认证的目标终端可以作为网关终端或非管理终端,或者,确定仅通过权限认证的目标终端的目标会话可以作为网关会话或非管理会话,或者,第一网络功能也可以向第三网络功能发送第三信息,以使第三网络功能基于接收到第三信息对目标终端或目标会话进行鉴权。
另一种实施方式中,所述第一信息包括以下至少一项:
终端用户的目标功能的签约信息;
汇报指示,所述汇报指示信息用于指示所述第一网络功能在接收到会话消息时,向第三网络功能发送第三信息;
目标功能的信息;
目标功能的标识信息;
目标会话与目标功能的关联信息。
例如:假设目标功能是PIN功能,则第一信息可以包含PIN签约信息、PIN标识、PIN标识及对应的一个或多个PDU会话信息、PDU会话信息及对应的一个或多个PIN标识等于PIN相关的信息,其中,PIN标识用于指示目标终端属于的PIN。
这样,第一网络功能可以基于第一信息对终端用户进行权限认证,且确定仅通过权限认证的目标终端可以作为支持目标功能的网关终端或非管理终端,或者,确定目标终端所支持的目标功能,或者,确定仅通过权限认证的目标终端的目标会话可以作为服务于目标功能的网关会话或非管理会话,或者,确定目标会话所服务的目标功能,或者,第一网络功能也可以向第三网络功能发送第三信息,以使第三网络功能基于接收到第三信息对目标终端或目标会话进行鉴权。
本实施方式中,上述第一网络功能未获知第一信息,即未获知目标终端的用户签约信息,该目标终端仅可作为管理终端或非网关终端。上述第一网络功能获知第一信息,即未获知目标终端的用户签约信息,此时可以判断该目标终端可以作为网关终端或非管理终端,或者结合第二信息判断目标终端是否为网关终端或非管理终端。
其中,基于第一信息可以与目标功能相关或不相关,上述第三信息也可以与目标功能相关或不相关。
例如:所述第三信息包括以下至少一项:
能力信息;
功能的标识信息;
功能的指示信息。
再例如:所述第三信息包括以下至少一项:
与所述目标功能相关的能力信息;
所述目标功能的标识信息;
所述目标功能的指示信息。
其中,第三信息用于第三网络功能执行第四操作,其中,第四操作可以包括:
向第一网络功能发送第一信息;
会话确定操作。
一种实施方式中,在第四操作包括向第一网络功能发送第一信息和会话确定操作的情况下,第一网络功能和第三网络功能之间的交互流程可以包括以下步骤:
步骤1a、第三网络功能向第一网络功能发送第一信息,其中,第一信息携带汇报指示;
步骤2a、第一网络功能基于汇报指示向第三网络功能发送第三信息;
步骤3a、第三网络功能基于第三信息执行会话确定操作。
另一种实施方式中,在第四操作包括向第一网络功能发送第一信息的情况下,第一网络功能和第三网络功能之间的交互流程可以包括以下步骤:
步骤1a、第三网络功能向第一网络功能发送第一信息,其中,第一信息不携带;
步骤2a、第一网络功能基于第一信息在内的信息确定目标终端的角色或目标会话的类型。
再一种实施方式中,在第四操作包括会话确定操作的情况下,第一网络功能和第三网络功能之间的交互流程可以包括以下步骤:
步骤1b、第一网络功能向第三网络功能发送第三信息;
步骤2b、第三网络功能基于第三信息执行会话确定操作。
其中,会话确定操作可以包括以下至少一项:
确定受影响的会话;
确定受影响的网关会话。
例如:在更新第一会话的过程中,确定第二会话会受到影响,其中,第一会话和第二会话为不同会话。
可选地,在所述第一网络功能获知第一信息的情况下,所述第三信息还包括以下至少一项:
报文过滤信息;
QoS信息。
在所述第一网络功能获知第一信息的情况下,目标终端可以是网关终端,或者目标会话可以是网关会话,此时,该网关终端或网关会话携带的报文过滤信息可以是数据流信息,其具体可以包括信息流的源、目的等信息。
例如:如图8c所示,在PEGC1向网络发送PDU会话更新请求消息时,该消息可以携带报文过滤信息,如:包含PEGC2的IP地址,据此,SMF或PCF可以判断PEGC1的会话更新会影响PEGC2的会话。
一种实施方式中,第二信息可以包括以下至少一项:
终端的能力信息;
标识信息,如终端支持的能力的标识信息;
目标会话所服务的业务标识信息;
指示信息,如终端支持的能力的指示信息;
目标会话所服务的业务的指示信息。
本实施方式中,可以基于第二信息中目标终端的能力信息,或者标识信息或指示信息,获知目标终端的能力,从而基于能力判断目标终端是管理终端、网关终端、非管理终端和非网关终端中的任一项,或者,可以基于第二信息中目标会话所服务的业务的标识信息或指示信息,获知目标会话所服务的业务,从而基于该目标会话所服务的业务来判断目标会话是管理会话、网关会话、非管理会话和非网关会话中的任一项。
另一种实施方式中,第二信息可以包括以下至少一项:
终端支持目标功能的能力信息;
目标功能的标识信息;
目标会话所服务的目标功能的标识信息;
目标功能的指示信息;
目标会话用于目标功能的指示信息。
本实施方式与上一实施方式的区别在于,本实施方式中,第二信息还与目标功能相关,从而据此可以判断目标终端所支持的目标能力,或者判断目标会话所服务的目标功能,如PIN功能,从而据此判断目标终端管理终端、网关终端、非管理终端和非网关终端中的任一项,或,判断目标会话是服务于目标功能的管理会话、网关会话、非管理会话和非网关会话中的任一项。
结合上述第二信息的说明可知,在所述第一网络功能接收到来自所述目标终端的第二信息的情况下,表示目标终端支持目标功能或支持数据转发等网关能力,此时,可以判断目标终端可以作为网关终端或非管理终端,或者,可以结合上述第一信息,在第一网络功能获知第一信息的情况下,可以判断目标终端为网关终端或非管理终端。
一种实施方式中,SMF可以从第四网络功能(如:PCF、UDM)中的至少一者获取上述第一信息,或者,SMF可以从本地获知上述第一信息。
例如:如图8a所示实施例中,SMF向UDM查询签约数据,携带用户标识(比如签约永久标识(Subscription Permanent Identifier,SUPI))该PIN签约信息可以包含在PIN签约数据(PIN Subscription Data)中,或包含在会话签约数据(Session Management Subscription Data)中。UDM在接收到SMF发送的签约数据查询请求后,可以向UDR查询相应的签约数据。然后,UDM向SMF返回相应的签约数据,所述签约数据包含PIN签约信息。
一种实施方式中,目标终端可以向SMF发送PDU会话建立请求,携带PDU会话相关信息(比如PDU会话标识、数据网络名称(Data Network Name,DNN)、单个网络切片 选择辅助信息(Single Network Slice Selection Assistance Information,S-NSSAI)等)和PIN相关信息(比如PIN标识、PIN能力指示等),这样,SMF可以基于接收到PIN相关信息向UDM查询PIN签约数据。
一种实施方式中,来自所述目标终端的第二信息可以携带于目标终端发送的会话消息中,该会话消息可以用于建立或更新目标会话。
例如:如图8a所示实施例中,假设目标终端包括具有网关能力的PIN元素(PIN Element with Gateway Capability,PEGC),该PEGC向网络发送PDU会话建立请求,携带PDU会话相关信息(比如PDU会话标识、DNN、S-NSSAI等)和PIN相关信息(比如PIN标识、PIN能力指示等)。此时,第二信息包括PDU会话相关信息和PIN相关信息。
作为一种可选的实施方式,在所述第一目标状态包括第一网络功能未获知第一信息以及所述第一网络功能未接收到来自所述目标终端的第二信息中的至少一项的情况下,所述第一网络功能确定所述目标终端为管理终端和非网关终端中的任一项。
这样,可以通过第一信息判断目标终端未通过数据转发相关的授权,或者,可以通过第二信息判断目标终端不具有网关终端的相关能力,或者,判断目标终端不支持目标功能,从而判断目标终端为管理终端和非网关终端中的任一项。
可选地,在接收到第一消息的情况下,所述第一网络功能确定所述目标会话为管理会话或非网关会话;
其中,所述第一消息包括所述目标终端发送的用于建立或更新所述目标会话的会话消息。
本实施方式中,在确定目标终端是管理终端和非网关终端中的任一项的情况下,可以直接确定该管理终端和非网关终端建立或更新的目标会话是管理会话或非网关会话。
作为一种可选的实施方式,在所述第一目标状态包括所述第一网络功能获知第一信息以及所述第一网络功能接收到来自所述目标终端的第二信息中的至少一项的情况下,所述第一网络功能确定所述目标终端为网关终端和非管理终端中的任一项。
这样,可以通过第一信息判断目标终端通过数据转发相关的授权,或者,可以通过第二信息判断目标终端具有网关终端的相关能力,或者,判断目标终端支持目标功能,从而判断目标终端为网关终端和非管理终端中的任一项。
可选地,在所述第一网络功能接收到来自所述目标终端的第二消息的情况下,所述第一网络功能确定所述目标会话为网关会话或非管理会话;
其中,所述第二消息包括所述目标终端发送的用于建立或更新所述目标会话的会话消息。
本实施方式中,在确定目标终端是网关终端和非管理终端中的任一项的情况下,可以直接确定该网关终端和非管理终端建立或更新的目标会话是网关会话或非管理会话。
本申请实施例中,第一网络功能可以基于第一目标状态判断目标终端的角色或目标会话的会话类型,这样,可以区分终端角色或会话类型进行通信控制,例如:不限制管理终 端或管理会话的数据转发,或,限制网关终端或网关会话的数据转发等,从而能够基于终端角色或会话类型进行数据转发控制。
请参阅图3,是本申请实施例提供的第一种会话控制方法的流程图,该会话控制方法的执行主体可以是第一网络功能,即SMF。如图3所示,该会话控制方法可以包括以下步骤:
步骤301、第一网络功能根据第二目标状态,执行会话相关操作。
其中,所述会话相关操作包括以下至少一项:
会话确定操作;
会话更新操作;
向第三网络功能发送第三信息,所述第三信息用于所述第三网络功能执行所述会话确定操作以及向所述第一网络功能发送第一信息中的至少一项;
其中,所述第二目标状态包括以下至少一项:

所述第一网络功能接收到来自第二目标终端的用于建立或更新第一会话的第一会话消息;
所述第一网络功能接收到来自第三网络功能的第四信息,所述第四信息包括以下至少一项:
第一报文过滤信息;
QoS信息;
其中,所述第一信息与所述第一目标终端和目标会话中至少一者相关,所述第二信息与所述第一目标终端和目标会话中至少一者相关;所述目标会话与所述第一目标终端相关。
本申请实施例中的会话确定操作、第一信息、第二信息、第三信息与如图2所示方法实施例中的会话确定操作、第一信息、第二信息、第三信息的含义和作用相同,具体可以参考如图2所示方法实施例中的相关说明,在此不再赘述。
一种实施方式中,所述第一目标终端和所述第二目标终端中的至少一者具有目标功能,所述目标功能包括个人物联网PIN功能。
一种实施方式中,所述第一目标终端和所述第二目标终端中的至少一者的会话服务于目标功能,所述目标功能包括个人物联网PIN功能。
一种实施方式中,所述第一目标终端和所述第二目标终端中的至少一者具有目标功能,且述第一目标终端和所述第二目标终端中的至少一者的会话服务于目标功能,所述目标功能包括个人物联网PIN功能。
为了便于说明,本申请实施例中以目标功能为PIN功能,第一目标终端和第二目标终端具有PIN功能,且第一目标终端的会话和第二目标终端的会话服务于PIN为例进行举例说明。
值得说明的是,基于上述第一网络功能接收到来自网关终端或非管理终端的第二信息,或所述第一网络功能获知第一信息,可以得出第一目标终端为网关终端或非管理终端,基于此,该网关终端或非管理终端对应的目标会话为网关会话或非管理会话。
本申请实施例中,当对第一会话进行建立或更新时,其他会话或网关会话可能会收到影响。例如:第一会话消息为PDU会话更新请求消息,该会话更新请求消息中可以携带第二报文过滤信息,且该第二报文过滤信息包括第二PDU会话对应的终端的IP地址,则可以确定该PDU会话更新请求会影响第二PDU会话。
通过上述会话相关操作则可以确定哪些会话会受到影响,或,对受到影响的会话进行更新,即会话确定操作用于确定哪些会话会受到影响,会话更新操作用于更新受到影响的会话。
可选地,所述会话确定操作包括以下至少一项:
确定受影响的会话;
确定受影响的网关会话。
本实施方式中,受影响的会话可以是网关会话,或者,可以是网关会话和管理会话中的至少一者。
可选地,所述会话更新操作包括以下至少一项:
更新第二会话;
更新受影响的会话;
更新受影响的网关会话。
一种实施方式中,可以对受影响的会话进行更新。例如:在建立或更新第一会话时,对受到影响的会话进行相应的更新,可以避免因第一会话的建立或更新造成第一会话、受影响的会话出错。
一种实施方式中,通过会话更新操作可以建立或更新第一会话和第二会话之间的数据转发规则。
其中,上述会话确定操作可以由第一网络功能执行,也可以由第三网络功能执行。
其中,更新会话,可以包括更新会话的类型、数据转发规则、QoS信息等。
一种实施方式中,SMF执行会话确定操作。
例如:在第一会话的建立或更新过程中,所述第一网络功能获知第一信息(如来自PCF的PIN信息、UDM返回的PIN签约信息)或第二目标终端发送的第二信息。这样,在更新第一会话时,第一网络功能可以基于上述第一信息或第二信息,获知请求更新的第一会话为网关会话还是管理会话,并据此确定受影响的会话。
可选地,可以在建立或更新管理会话的情况下,基于第二目标状态执行会话相关操作,此时,第二目标终端满足以下至少一项:
所述第二目标终端为管理终端或非网关终端;
所述第一网络功能未接收到来自所述第二目标终端的第二信息;
在所述第一网络功能接收到来自所述第二目标终端的第二会话消息的情况下,所述第一网络功能未获知所述第一信息。
其中,在第一会话为管理会话的情况下,受影响的会话可以包括该管理会话所管理的网关会话,或者,受影响的会话可以包括该管理会话相关的其他管理会话,或者,受影响的会话可以包括该管理会话相关的其他管理会话,以及该管理会话和受影响的管理会话所管理的网关会话。
可选地,可以在建立或更新网关会话的情况下,基于第二目标状态执行会话相关操作,此时,第二目标终端满足以下至少一项:
所述第二目标终端为网关终端或非管理终端;

所述第一网络功能接收到来自所述第二目标终端的所述第二信息。
其中,在第一会话为网关会话的情况下,受影响的会话可以包括网关会话相关的其他网关会话(如该网关会话的报文过滤信息中携带其他网关会话对应的终端的IP地址),或者,受影响的会话可以包括管理该网关会话的管理会话,或者,受影响的会话可以包括管理该网关会话的管理会话,以及该受影响的管理会话所管理的其他网关会话。
可选地,所述第一会话消息包括第二报文过滤信息,所述第一网络功能根据第二目标状态,执行会话相关操作,包括:
所述第一网络功能根所述第二报文过滤信息,执行所述会话相关操作。
其中,第二报文过滤信息与第一报文过滤信息相同或相似,不同之处包括:第二报文过滤信息表示请求建立或更新的第一会话的报文过滤信息,该第二报文过滤信息来自发起会话建立或更新请求消息的终端;而第一报文过滤信息可以包括受第一会话的更新影响的会话的报文过滤信息,该第一报文过滤信息可以是PCF或SMF确定的报文过滤信息。
具体地,报文过滤信息(包含第一报文过滤信息或第二报文过滤信息),也可以称之为数据流信息,例如:包括数据流的源、目的等信息。基于该报文过滤信息可以确定数据流传输相关的终端,进而,确定这些终端的会话会相互影响。
例如:如图8c所示实施例中,假设第二目标终端是PEGC1,该PEGC1向SMF发送PDU会话更新请求,该PDU会话更新请求中携带PDU会话相关信息(比如PDU会话标识、DNN、S-NSSAI等)、第二报文过滤信息,还可能带QoS信息。若该第二报文过滤信息中携带PEGC2的IP地址,则确定PEGC2的会话会受到PEGC1的PDU会话更新请求影响。
可选地,在所述第四信息包括所述第一报文过滤信息的情况下,所述第一网络功能根据第二目标状态,执行会话相关操作,包括:
所述第一网络功能根所述第一报文过滤信息,执行所述会话相关操作。
本实施方式中,SMF可以基于接收到所述第一会话消息,向PCF请求策略联盟更新,例如:SMF基于第一会话建立时,PCF返回的第一信息(如包含汇报指示)或第二目标终 端发送的第二信息,决定向PCF请求策略联盟更新,该策略联盟更新请求中可以携带。则PCF可以基于该策略联盟更新请求向SMF反馈受影响的第二会话相关的信息(如PDU会话标识、DNN、S-NSSAI等)、第一报文过滤信息,还可能通知QoS信息。SMF则基于PCF反馈的包含第一报文过滤信息执行会话相关操作,如执行会话更新操作。
可选地,在所述第一会话消息或所述第四信息还包括QoS信息的情况下,所述会话更新操作包括以下至少一项:
依据所述QoS信息执行更新操作;
依据所述QoS信息生成目标QoS信息。
其中,依据所述QoS信息执行更新操作可以包括:依据所述QoS信息更新Qos信息。依据所述QoS信息生成目标QoS信息,可以是依据所述QoS信息生成新的QoS信息。
本实施方式中,可以同步更新受影响的会话的QoS信息。
另一种实施方式中,PCF执行会话确定操作。
例如:所述第一网络功能可以基于接收到的第一会话消息,向第三网络功能请求策略联盟更新,该请求可以携带第三信息,如:第一会话的相关信息(比如PDU会话标识、DNN、S-NSSAI等)、第二报文过滤信息,还可能带QoS信息。
这样,PCF可以根据第三信息判断受影响的第二会话。其中,PCF执行的会话确定操作的原理与上述SMF执行的会话确定操作的原理相同,在此不再赘述。
可选地,SMF可以基于第一会话建立时,PCF返回的第一信息(如包含汇报指示)或第二目标终端发送的第二信息,决定向PCF请求策略联盟更新。
值得提出的是,在PCF执行会话确定操作的情况下,PCF可以向SMF反馈确定的受影响的会话或第二会话或受影响的网关会话的相关信息,以使SMF据此执行会话更新操作。
例如:PCF在确定的受影响的会话或第二会话或受影响的网关会话后,并向SMF返馈,该反馈可以携带第四信息,例如:该反馈携带第二会话或受影响的会话或受影响的网关会话的相关信息(比如PDU会话标识、DNN、S-NSSAI等)、第一报文过滤信息,还可能带QoS信息。
本申请实施例中,第一网络功能能够在建立或更新第一会话的情况下,确定第二会话或受影响的其他会话,进而通过对第二会话或受影响的会话进行更新操作,能够实现对会话的数据转发规则、QoS信息等进行灵活的更新。
请参阅图4,是本申请实施例提供的一种规则配置或更新的控制方法的流程图,该规则配置或更新的控制方法的执行主体可以是第一网络功能,即SMF。如图4所示,该方法可以包括以下步骤:
步骤401、第一网络功能根据第三目标状态,执行规则控制操作。
其中,所述第三目标状态包括以下至少一项:
存在第三目标终端,所述第三目标终端为管理终端或非网关终端;
所述第一网络功能未获知第一信息,或者,所述第一网络功能获知所述第一信息;

当然,所述第一目标终端、所述第二目标终端和所述第三目标终端中的至少一者也可以是任意虚拟局域网中的终端,在此不作具体限定。
一种实施方式中,向第二网络功能配置或更新第一规则,可以表示允许第二网络功能对管理终端或非网关终端的数据进行转发或路由。
其中,上述转发可以是基于至少两个会话的数据转发,路由可以是基于本地路由接口的发送或接收。

转发来自本地路由接口的源为所述第三目标终端的数据的规则(对于其他终端的下行数据,则可以先发送再识别)。
另一种实施方式中,停止向第二网络功能配置第二规则,可以表示不允许第二网络功能发送或接收与网关终端或非管理终端,或,网关会话或非管理会话相关的数据。
也就是说,当停止向第二网络功能配置第二规则的情况下,第二网络功能停止转发网关终端或非管理终端发送的或发往网关终端或非管理终端的数据。此时,该数据可以通过网关终端或非管理终端的会话进行传输。
本实施方式中,当存在网关终端或非管理终端的情况下,则用于管理该网关终端或非管理终端的终端是管理终端,从而可以允许第二网络功能对管理终端或非网关终端的数据进行转发或路由,且不允许第二网络功能发送或接收与网关终端或非管理终端,或,网关会话或非管理会话相关的数据。
再一种实施方式中,向第二网络功能配置或更新第三规则,可以是允许第二网络功能转发或路由与第一报文过滤信息和第二报文过滤信息中至少一者相关的数据。

例如:报文过滤信息包含数据流的源信息和目标信息,则所述第三规则用于允许第二网络功能将数据流从源发送或路由至目标。
具体地,所述第三规则包括以下至少一项:

本申请实施例中,第一网络功能可以根据第三目标状态,执行规则控制操作,以灵活的配置或更新第二网络功能的数据转发或路由规则。
值得说明的是,如图2、图3和图4所示方法实施例中的至少两个可以相互结合。
例如:SMF在接收到来自终端的会话建立请求消息时,基于如图2所示方法确定终端的角色为管理终端或网关终端,或,确定该终端建立的会话是管理会话或网关会话。然后,SMF可以基于如图4所示方法来执行规则控制操作以配置或更新UPF对终端的数据转发或路由规则,如:若确定终端是管理终端,则向UPF配置该管理终端的第一规则。
再例如:SMF在接收到来自终端的会话更新请求消息以请求更新第一网关会话时,基于如图3所示方法确定受影响的第二网关会话,并更新第二网关会话,该更新过程中,可以基于如图4所示方法来执行规则控制操作以更新第二网关会话的第二规则,即停止向第二网络功能配置第二网关会话对应的第二规则。

请参阅图7,是本申请实施例提供的一种信息传输方法的流程图,该信息传输方法的执行主体是第五网络功能,如UDM。如图7所示,该方法可以包括以下步骤:
步骤701、第五网络功能向第一网络功能或第二网络功能发送终端用户的签约数据,所述签约数据包括目标终端的目标功能的签约信息。
本申请实施例中的目标终端的目标功能的签约信息与如2、图3、图4、图5和图6所示方法实施例中的目标终端的目标功能的签约信息具有相同含义,在此不再赘述。

本申请实施例中,UDM可以向SMF和PCF中的至少一项提供目标终端的目标功能的签约信息,以供SMF执行目标操作,或者以供PCF执行会话确定操作或向SMF发送第一信息。
为了便于理解本申请实施例提供的通信控制方法、会话控制方法、规则配置或更新的控制方法、信息传输方法,以如下3个实施例对本申请实施例中UE、SMF、UPF、PCF、UDM之间的交互进行举例说明。
如图8a、图8b和图8c所示实施例中,假设目标终端或目标终端的会话服务于目标功能,目标功能包括PIN,目标终端包括PEGC和UE中的至少一项,其中,UE可以作为 PEGC,也可以作为具有管理能力的PIN元素(PIN Element with Management Capability,PEMC),鉴于PEMC位于应用层,图8a、图8b和图8c中未示出PEMC。
实施例一:
如图8a所示,PEGC、UE、SMF、UPF、PCF、UDM之间的交互包括以下步骤:
步骤8-1a、PEGC向网络发送PDU会话建立请求消息,该PDU会话建立请求消息携带第二信息。
其中,第二信息可以包括PDU会话相关的信息(比如PDU会话标识、DNN、S-NSSAI等)和PIN相关的信息(比如PIN标识、PIN能力指示等)。
步骤8-2a、SMF向UDM查询签约数据,携带用户标识(比如SUPI),以请求PEGC的签约信息,或者,在SMF接收到PIN相关的信息的情况下,该携带该PIN相关的信息(如PIN标识),以请求PEGC的PIN签约数据。
步骤8-3a、UDM可以在向UDR查询相应的签约数据后,向SMF返回相应的签约数据。所述签约数据包含PIN签约信息(比如包含在PIN签约数据PIN Subscription Data中,或包含在会话签约数据Session Management Subscription Data中)。
其中,PIN签约信息具体可以包括:PIN标识,或PIN标识及对应的一个或多个PDU会话信息,或PDU会话信息及对应的一个或多个PIN标识,其中,PIN标识用于指示PEGC属于的PIN。
步骤8-4a、SMF向PEGC返回PDU会话建立响应消息。
步骤8-5a、UE向网络发送PDU会话建立请求消息,该PDU会话建立请求消息携带PDU会话相关的信息(比如PDU会话标识、DNN、S-NSSAI等),如果UE支持PIN网关能力,则还携带PIN相关的信息(比如PIN标识、PIN能力指示等)。
步骤8-6a、SMF向UDM查询签约数据,携带用户标识(比如SUPI),以请求UE的签约信息,或者,在SMF在步骤8-5a中接收到UE的PIN相关的信息的情况下,携带该UE的PIN相关的信息(如PIN标识),以请求UE的PIN签约数据。
步骤8-7a、UDM可以在向UDR查询相应的签约数据后,向SMF返回相应的签约数据。所述签约数据包含PIN签约信息(比如包含在PIN签约数据PIN Subscription Data中,或包含在会话签约数据Session Management Subscription Data中)。
其中,PIN签约信息具体可以包括:PIN标识,或PIN标识及对应的一个或多个PDU会话信息,或PDU会话信息及对应的一个或多个PIN标识,其中,PIN标识用于指示UE属于的PIN。
值得说明的是,上述步骤8-5a之步骤8-7a,与前述步骤8-1a之步骤8-3a相似,不同之处在于,步骤8-1a之步骤8-3a用于PEGC的PDU会话建立,步骤8-5a之步骤8-7a用于UE的PDU会话建立。
步骤8-8a、SMF依据步骤8-3a及步骤8-7a获知的第一信息(包括PIN签约信息),以及步骤8-1a及步骤8-5a中获知的第二信息(包括PDU会话相关的信息和PIN相关的 信息),判断UE的PDU会话和PEGC的PDU会话均为服务于相同PIN的网关PDU会话,从而停止向UPF配置第二规则,或者,判断UE的PDU会话和PEGC的PDU会话均服务于相同PIN但UE的PDU会话非网关PDU会话,从而向UPF配置或更新第一规则。
其中,第一规则允许UPF可以基于此规则通过UE的PDU会话和PEGC的PDU会话转发UE和PEGC之间的数据交互。第二规则用于所述UPF发送或接收与所述PEGC和UE相关的数据或与PEGC和UE对应的PDU会话相关的数据。
例如:
场景A1):在UE和PEGC都指示了第二信息(包括PIN相关的信息),SMF获知了第一信息(即SMF获知了UE和PEGC的签约数据都包含PIN签约信息)的情况下,若UE的PDU会话和PEGC的PDU会话使用了相同的第一标识,则这两个PDU会话为服务相同PIN的网关PDU会话;否则,若UE未指示第二信息,或SMF未获知UE的PIN签约信息,则即使UE的PDU会话和PEGC的PDU会话使用了相同的第一标识,使UE的PDU会话和PEGC的PDU会话服务相同PIN,但UE的PDU会话非网关PDU会话;或者,
场景B1):在UE和PEGC都指示了第二信息(包括PIN相关信息),SMF获知了第一信息(即SMF获知了UE和PEGC的签约数据都包含PIN签约信息)的情况下,如果签约数据中的某个PIN对应的PDU会话信息中包含PEGC的PDU会话使用的第一标识和UE的PDU会话使用的第一标识,则这两个PDU会话服务相同PIN的网关PDU会话,但是,鉴于PEGC的PDU会话和UE的PDU会话即使使用了与同一个PIN对应的不同的第一标识,而UE的PDU会话和PEGC的PDU会话仍然服务相同PIN,但UE的PDU会话非网关PDU会话;或者,
场景C1):在UE和PEGC都指示了PIN标识(即第一信息包括PIN标识),SMF获知了第一信息(即SMF获知了UE和PEGC的签约数据都包含PIN签约信息)的情况下,若UE和PEGC指示了相同的PIN标识,则UE的PDU和PEGC的PDU会话为服务相同PIN的网关PDU会话;否则,若SMF未获知UE的签约数据包含PIN签约信息,则即使UE和PEGC都指示了相同的PIN标识,使UE的PDU会话和PEGC的PDU会话服务相同PIN,但UE的PDU会话非网关PDU会话。
需要说明的是,以上场景A)、场景B)和场景C)中的第一标识为PIN相关的标识,如第一标识包括S-NSSAI和DNN中至少一者的组合,例如:第一标识为S-NSSAI,或第一标识为DNN,或第一标识为S-NSSAI和DNN的组合。
步骤8-9a、SMF向UE返回PDU会话建立响应消息。
如上实施例一中,SMF可以基于如图2所示通信控制方法判断UE为网关终端或非网关终端,或,判断UE的PDU会话为网关PDU会话或非网关PDU会话。
如上实施例一中,SMF还可以基于如图4所示规则配置或更新的控制方法向UPF配置或更新第一规则,或停止向第二网络功能配置第二规则。其中,在UE为非网关终端或 UE的PDU会话为非网关PDU会话的情况下,第一规则用于UPF通过至少两个会话转发与UE相关的数据,或通过本地路由接口发送或接收与UE相关的数据;在UE为网关终端或UE的PDU会话为网关PDU会话的情况下,所述第二规则用于UPF发送或接收与UE相关的数据或与UE对应的会话相关的数据。

步骤8-6b、UDM可以在向UDR查询相应的签约数据后,向PCF返回相应的签约数据。所述签约数据包含PEGC的PIN签约信息(比如包含在PIN签约数据PIN Subscription Data中,或包含在会话签约数据Session Management Subscription Data中)。
其中,PIN签约信息具体可以包括:PIN标识,或PIN标识及对应的一个或多个PDU会话信息,或PDU会话信息及对应的一个或多个PIN标识,其中,PIN标识用于指示PEGC属于的PIN。
步骤8-7b、PCF向SMF反馈策略联盟建立响应,该策略联盟建立响应可以携带第一信息(比如PIN标识、PIN签约数据、PIN指示/标志(indication/flag)、PIN汇报指示——比如路由信息更改汇报(Routing information change report)指示,PIN汇报指示用于指示SMF在接收到PEGC发送的PDU会话建立或更新请求消息时将第三信息(如报文过滤信息)时发送给PCF)。
需要说明的是,上述步骤8-2b至步骤8-3b表示SMF从UDM获知第一信息,步骤8-4b至步骤8-7b表示SMF从PCF获知第一信息,在实施中,可以仅执行步骤8-2b至步骤8-3b,不执行步骤8-4b至步骤8-7b,或仅执行步骤8-4b至步骤8-7b,不执行步骤8-2b至 步骤8-3b,或即执行步骤8-2b至步骤8-3b,以获取一部分第一信息,也步骤8-4b至步骤8-7b,以获取另一部分第一信息,在此不作具体限定。
步骤8-8b、SMF向PEGC返回PDU会话建立响应消息。
步骤8-9b、UE向网络发送PDU会话建立请求,携带第二信息。
其中,第二信息可以包括PDU会话相关的信息(比如PDU会话标识、DNN、S-NSSAI等)。可选地,如果UE支持PIN网关能力,则第二信息还包括PIN相关的信息(比如PIN标识、PIN能力指示等)。
步骤8-10b、SMF向UDM查询签约数据,携带UE的用户标识(比如SUPI)。
步骤8-11b、UDM可以在向UDR查询相应的签约数据后,向SMF返回相应的签约数据。
步骤8-12b、SMF向PCF发送策略联盟建立请求,该策略联盟建立请求携带UE的用户标识和UE的PDU会话相关信息。可选地,策略联盟建立请求还可以携带第三信息(如PIN指示信息)。
步骤8-13b、PCF向UDM查询签约数据或PIN签约数据,携带UE的用户标识(比如SUPI)。
可选地,步骤8-13b中PCF可以基于接收到的第三信息(比如PIN标识或PIN能力信息或PIN indication/flag等)或PDU会话相关信息(比如S-NSSAI或S-NSSAI和DNN的组合)向UDM查询UE的PIN签约数据。

步骤8-15b、PCF向SMF反馈策略联盟建立响应,该策略联盟建立响应可以携带第一信息(比如PIN标识、PIN签约数据、PIN指示/标志(indication/flag)、PIN汇报指示——比如路由信息更改汇报(Routing information change report)指示,PIN汇报指示用于指示SMF在接收到UE发送的PDU会话建立或更新请求消息时将第三信息(如报文过滤信息)时发送给PCF)。
需要说明的是,上述步骤8-9b至步骤8-15b用于SMF获取UE的第二信息和PIN签约信息,而步骤8-1b至步骤8-7b用于SMF获取PEGC的第二信息和PIN签约信息,但是,步骤8-9b至步骤8-15b的过程和原理与步骤8-1b至步骤8-7b相似,在此不再赘述。
步骤8-16b、SMF依据步骤8-7b及步骤8-15b获知的第一信息,以及步骤8-1b及步骤8-9b中获知的第二信息(包括PDU会话相关的信息和PIN相关的信息),判断UE的PDU会话和PEGC的PDU会话均为服务于相同PIN的网关PDU会话,从而停止向 UPFUPF配置第二规则,或者,判断UE的PDU会话和PEGC的PDU会话均服务于相同PIN但UE的PDU会话非网关PDU会话,从而向UPFUPF配置或更新第一规则。
其中,第一规则允许UPF可以基于此规则通过UE的PDU会话和PEGC的PDU会话转发UE和PEGC之间的数据交互。第二规则用于所述UPF发送或接收与所述PEGC和UE相关的数据或与PEGC和UE对应的PDU会话相关的数据。
例如:
场景A2):在UE和PEGC都指示了第二信息(包括PIN相关的信息),SMF获知了第一信息(即PCF向SMF返回了UE和PEGC的第一信息,该第一信息包括PIN签约信息)的情况下,若UE的PDU会话和PEGC的PDU会话使用了相同的第一标识,则这两个PDU会话为服务相同PIN的网关PDU会话;否则,若UE未指示第二信息,或PCF未向SMF反馈UE的第一信息,则即使UE的PDU会话和PEGC的PDU会话使用了相同的第一标识,使UE的PDU会话和PEGC的PDU会话服务相同PIN,但UE的PDU会话非网关PDU会话;或者,
场景B2):在UE和PEGC都指示了第二信息(包括PIN相关信息),SMF获知了第一信息(即PCF向SMF返回了UE和PEGC的第一信息,该第一信息包括PIN签约信息)的情况下,如果签约数据中的某个PIN对应的PDU会话信息中包含PEGC的PDU会话使用的第一标识和UE的PDU会话使用的第一标识,则这两个PDU会话服务相同PIN的网关PDU会话,但是,鉴于PEGC的PDU会话和UE的PDU会话即使使用了与同一个PIN对应的不同的第一标识,而UE的PDU会话和PEGC的PDU会话仍然服务相同PIN,但UE的PDU会话非网关PDU会话;或者,
场景C2):在UE和PEGC都指示了PIN标识(即第一信息包括PIN标识),SMF获知了第一信息(即PCF向SMF返回了UE和PEGC的第一信息,该第一信息包括PIN签约信息)的情况下,若UE和PEGC指示了相同的PIN标识,则UE的PDU和PEGC的PDU会话为服务相同PIN的网关PDU会话;否则,若PCF未向SMF返回UE的第一信息,即SMF未获知UE的PIN签约信息,则即使UE和PEGC都指示了相同的PIN标识,使UE的PDU会话和PEGC的PDU会话服务相同PIN,但UE的PDU会话非网关PDU会话。
步骤8-17b、SMF向UE返回PDU会话建立响应消息。
如上实施例二中,SMF可以基于如图2所示通信控制方法判断UE为网关终端或非网关终端,或,判断UE的PDU会话为网关PDU会话或非网关PDU会话。
如上实施例二中,SMF还可以基于如图4所示规则配置或更新的控制方法向UPF配置或更新第一规则,或停止向第二网络功能配置第二规则。其中,在UE为非网关终端或UE的PDU会话为非网关PDU会话的情况下,第一规则用于UPF通过至少两个会话转发与UE相关的数据,或通过本地路由接口发送或接收与UE相关的数据;在UE为网关终端或UE的PDU会话为网关PDU会话的情况下,所述第二规则用于UPF发送或接收与 UE相关的数据或与UE对应的会话相关的数据。
实施例三

步骤8-2c、SMF可以基于第一PDU会话建立时PCF返回的PIN信息或UDM返回的PIN签约信息,以及UE发送的PIN相关信息,判断该第一PDU会话为网关PDU会话,进而判断该请求影响了哪些PDU会话,比如第二报文过滤信息包含PEGC2的IP地址,则判断该请求影响了PEGC2的第二PDU会话。
其中,上述第一PDU会话的建立过程可以与如上实施例一或实施例二中的PDU会话建立过程相同,或者,也可以采用其他方式建立该第一PDU会话。
步骤8-3c、SMF也可以向PCF发送策略联盟更新请求,该策略联盟更新请求携带第一PDU会话的相关信息(比如PDU会话标识、DNN、S-NSSAI等)、第二报文过滤信息(即数据流信息,包括数据流的源、目标等信息),还可能带QoS信息。

步骤8-6c、如果影响了第二PDU会话,PCF向SMF通知第二PDU会话的相关信息(比如PDU会话标识、DNN、S-NSSAI等)、第一报文过滤信息,还可能通知QoS信息。
需要说明的是,上述步骤8-2c,以及步骤8-3c至步骤8-6c为可相互替换的步骤。
一种实施方式中,可以仅执行步骤8-2c,而不执行步骤8-3c至步骤8-6c,以由SMF判断受PDU会话更新请求影响的PDU会话。

步骤8-7c、如果影响了第二PDU会话,需要更新第二PDU会话的QoS等信息,SMF向PEGC2发送PDU会话更新命令,携带第二PDU会话的相关信息(比如PDU会话标识、DNN、S-NSSAI等)、第二报文过滤信息,还可能带QoS信息。
步骤8-8c、PEGC2向SMF返回PDU会话更新命令的肯定确认(Acknowledgement,ACK)。
步骤8-9c、SMF向UPF指示第一PDU会话和第二PDU会话的数据流路由规则(如第一规则),该数据流路由规则允许UPF可以基于此规则通过PEGC1的PDU会话和PEGC2的PDU会话转发相应数据流。
步骤8-10c、SMF向PEGC1返回PDU会话更新响应消息。
如上实施例三中,假设第二目标终端为PEGC1,该PEGC1向网络发送用于更新第一PDU会话的会话更新请求消息,SMF可以执行如图3所示的会话控制方法,或者,PCF可以执行如图6所示的通信控制方法,以判断受更新第一PDU会话影响的PEGC2的第二PDU会话,并更新第一PDU会话和第二PDU会话。
