Abstract

The present invention provides a management method for controllable multicast of IPTV roaming users, which effectively overcomes the defects that the control management of the existing multicast service is mainly based on the user static management of an access network. The method comprises the following steps: STB terminals are used for receiving DHCP requests initiated by the users, and first associated information is inserted into identification information of the users; the first inserted associated information is intercepted at DSLAM, the identification information of the users is extracted, and then, the first associated information, the identification information of the users and second associated information are all together sent to OSS; the OSS is used for judging whether third associated information is matched with the current information of the system or not; if true, that the user normally accesses the prime node for opening an account is indicted; if false, the present invention can judge whether the user is a roaming user; if true, the information list of the user is updated, and if false, the user is rejected; the information list of the user who is not a roaming user is updated, and a multicast authority control list is updated.

Description

The controlled multicast managing method of network interactive television roaming user
Technical field
The present invention relates to IPTV (IP-based network interactive TV), broad band bearing field, relate in particular to PC (personal computer), STB (set-top box) roamer and the binding method of the TV channel ordered.
Background technology
Rise along with the IPTV business, Virtual network operator and content supplier will carry out and run multicast service, except requiring the abundant multicast related protocol of IP network support, carry out efficiently multicast forwarding and reasonably multicast address distributes, also needing effective user management and monitoring function.Such as how multicast service generates; How to control the transmission in multicast packet source and user's adding; Take any method to authenticate them; How the user is chargeed; Whom authenticates the user of adding by, and how expense settles accounts, and how to guarantee that the scheme that is adopted is simple and reliable and fair and reasonable; How the monitoring group broadcasting service traffics guarantee that network security is unimpeded; How the user withdraws from application; Professional termination and recovery of resource or the like.
If multicast service is not effectively managed and is monitored, after the developing multicast business, possibly existing network is impacted and influence, hacker (HACKER) also can attack whereby, and operator can not provide the multicast service quality of expection for the user.Therefore no matter still be the equipment manufacturers concerning operator, all need clearly to be familiar with pattern, demand, main equipment present situation or the like the information of multicast operation.
The control and management of existing multicast service, mainly carry out static user management based on Access Network, such as when distributing telephone numbers, just user name and ADSL PORT (asymmetric digital subscriber line port), PVC (particular virtual channel) are carried out static binding, though this mode can be controlled user's multicast authority, but limited carrying out of services of roaming to a certain extent, because this mode is based on user terminal forever a fixed network position, in case this user has done roaming, the The whole control information of managing will all lose efficacy.
Below we have a look as shown in Figure 1 the existing multicast user's control flow under roamer's situation of not having.
In this Fig. 1, comprise original 97/2000 system of operator (receiving system of comprehensively doing business), network interaction television system operation management system (OSS), network interdynamic telecommunication system network management system (nms), IP kernel heart net, media control server (MediaStation), BAS Broadband Access Server (BRAS/L3), broadband access equipment (DSLAM/L2) and terminal equipment (STB, TV or PC)
The STB user's of IPTV system controllable multicast service flow process:
The first step, STB user are in the process of opening an account, the NMS system be bound and be handed down in 97/2000 system can with this user's USERID (customer identification number), DSLAM IDENTIFY (DSLAM sign), ADSL PORT, PVC information, the user profile specifically form of issuing can be decided according to O﹠M system of operator present situation, if temporary no physical interface between IPTV and 97/2000 system then can be by carrying out the information binding and being handed down to NMS on the OSS of IPTV.
Second step, the STB user needs according to oneself on OSS are ordered the channel set meal.
The 3rd step, OSS to this user carry out authentication, service subscription operation such as deduct fees.
The 4th step, OSS order demand according to user's channel, corresponding to corresponding multicast group (notes, channel is a configured in advance and corresponding good with multicast group, unified being placed among the CHANNELLIST (channel list) of system), and, USER NAME (user name), corresponding multicast group information are passed to NMS by the equipment room agreement.
The 5th step, the user profile tabulation that the NMS server is good according to configured in advance refresh the multicast group authority information of this tabulation, simultaneously multicast group number, ADSL PORT, PVC information are handed down to corresponding D SLAM.
The 6th step, DSLAM refresh multicast authority control tabulation in real time, and operating result is fed back to the NMS system.
After the 7th step, OSS treated the success of NMS system feedback, the prompting customer service was ordered OK, and CHANNEL LIST is handed down to STB.
After the 8th step, STB receive CHANNEL LIST, upgrade local LIST, when treating the CHANNEL among user's program request LIST, STB initiates to add the request of corresponding multicast group, just sends the IGMP REPORT message (this sentences channel 2 and is example) of wanting to add multicast group;
The 9th step, DSLAM carry out IGMP REPORT message and ADSL PORT, PVC corresponding, inquire about in controllable multicast is tabulated, and judge the multicast group of its application of adding whether this user can be legal, if could not would not do not respond user's request message.
If information matches, DSLAM accepts this request, and when process user adds, judge whether to exist therewith the user the user of same multicast group, if exist then multicast group number and DSLAM port are added in the multicast forwarding list item, follow-up multicast message is transmitted and is directly passed through this corresponding lists.
If there is no current multicast group, then DSLAM upwards applies for new multicast group.
After the tenth step, STB user added success, channel 2 multicast data flows that IPTV issues can directly be copied to port one, 3 by DSLAM, and the STB user in this group is the program of receiving channels 2 normally, and the user of port 2 then can't receiving channels 2.
We can see in the such scheme, user's multicase control information is disposable static binding when opening an account, this pattern is based on the irremovable service operation pattern of STB, PC, and IPTV business development trend to be STB can buy with being intended to the shop, the same with household electrical appliances, the user only need apply for a smart card to operator, is inserted on the STB and can enjoys the IPTV business.The user can certainly hold this and snap into friend house, watches the IPTV business when perhaps going on business, and under the state of this user roaming, obviously can't meet the demands to the static binding of user profile.
Summary of the invention
The object of the present invention is to provide IPTV roamer's controlled multicast managing method, to address the above problem.With respect to traditional controllable multicast, the present invention is by carrying the mode of user profile in DHCP (the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) request message of initiating at STB, and intercept this information by DSLAM, report OSS, cooperate the controlled multicast managing of realizing the roamer with OSS.
A kind of IPTV of providing roamer's controlled multicast managing method is provided, comprises:
1) receives Client-initiated DHCP request in the STB terminal, and customer identification information is inserted in first relevant information;
2) intercept first relevant information of being inserted and extract customer identification information at DSLAM, be sent to OSS together with second relevant information then;
3) OSS judge third phase close information whether with system's current information coupling:
If coupling shows that this user normally inserts at the former node of opening an account;
If do not match, judge then whether this user is the roamer:
If not, then refuse this user;
If then refresh this user's information list;
4) refresh multicast authority control tabulation.
This method greatly facilitates STB user's services of roaming, and need not increases extra hardware, makes things convenient for IPTV system O﹠M and professional subordinate.

Embodiment
The present invention not only supports controllable multicast, also supports roamer's controllable multicast, is convenient to the machine that Operator Specific Service is promoted and compatibility is follow-up, the model of distributing telephone numbers of cassette separate type STB.Fig. 2 is multicast user's controlling party block diagram of the present invention, specifies as follows at this.
The first step, STB user are when initiating the DHCP request, and the STB terminal software can insert USERID information in Discover (discovery) message.
Second step, DSLAM intercepting DHCP Discover message, and extract the USER id information, report OSS in the lump together with this user place ADSL PORT, PVC then.
The 3rd step, OSS judge whether this user's broadband access information and system's current information mate (broadband access information comprises DSLAM IDENTIFY, ADSL PORT, PVCID, is that operator's configured in advance when this user opens an account is good)
If coupling shows that this user normally inserts at original node of opening an account;
If do not match, judge whether this user is the roamer:
If notice NMS refreshes this user's information list.
If not, show that non-roaming user inserts in non-regulation zone, perhaps disabled user's access, this user of meeting MARK (mark) of system, and when this user initiates Kerberos (encryption) authentication, to its DENY (refusal).
The 4th step, NMS refresh this user list, and notice DSLAM refreshes multicast authority control tabulation.
The 5th step, user normally use business, and can order new business in the roaming place.
In as above flow process, step 2,3,4 belongs to the present invention and is different from controllable multicast part in the past, on the former flow process, by newly-increased these three steps, finish the real time down function of real-time report, judgement and roamer's authority of IPTV roamer's information, and reach roamer's multicast authority control purpose with this.
