Description

The method and apparatus of IP flow mobility is realized in a kind of multi-access systems
Technical field
The present invention relates to communication technical field, particularly in a kind of multi-access systems, realize the method and apparatus of Internet Protocol (Internet Protocol, IP) flow mobility.
Background technology
1) multiple access and IP flow mobility
Multi-access technology makes terminal can access evolution block core net (Evolved Packet Core by different access systems simultaneously, and flow mobility technology makes terminal under the scene such as mobility, network congestion, dynamically the one or more IP stream of self current carrying transmission can be carried out seamless switching between different access systems EPC).IP flow mobility (IP Flow Mobility, IFOM; Internet Protocol, IP) technology is intended to study the seamless dividing technology that under multiple access scene, packet data network (Packet Data Network, PDN) connects and the switching of IP stream, the migration of IP stream and IP flow.
Such as, shown in Figure 1, in figure, terminal is in third generation partner program (3 rdgeneration Partnership Project, 3GPP) with under the common covering of non-3 gpp (Non-3GPP), according to carrier policy, user preference and traffic performance etc., by ip voice business (Voice over IP, VoIP) and conversational video banish 3GPP access (3GPP access) route, and web browsing, file transfer protocol (FTP) (File Transport Protocol, FTP) download and non-session video flowing are put into non-3 GPP access (Non-3GPP access) route.Subsequently, because non-3 GPP access is congested, and cause web browsing and non-session video flowing can not keep quality of service requirements, therefore, above-mentioned IP stream (i.e. web browsing and non-session video flowing) is moved to 3GPP and access route, specifically shown in Figure 2.
2) IP flow mobility scheme
At present, 3GPP network is selected by the access technology of access network discovery and selection (Access Network Discovery and Selection Function, ANDSF) strategy instruction subscriber equipment (User Equipment, UE) and access network.For the UE supporting IFOM, comprise the access technology according to priority arranged corresponding to IP stream and access network (optional) in ANDSF strategy, wherein IP stream uses five-tuple i.e. (protocol-identifier on source IP address, object IP address, source IP port numbers, object IP port numbers, IP layer) to limit.As: be the IP stream of 80 for destination slogan, preferential access technology is: WLAN>E-UTRAN, wherein, WLAN (wireless local area network) (Wireless Local Access Network, WLAN) demand fulfillment service set (Service Set Identification, SSID)=myOperator; If all IP streams of UE current transmission all pass through Long Term Evolution (Long Term Evolution, LTE) transmission, when UE can be linked into the WLAN of SSID=myOperator, above-mentioned IP stream should be moved to WLAN transmission.
As the same packet data network of UE (Packet Data Network, PDN) when the IP stream connected moves between multiple access technology, maintenance is still needed to anchor on same grouped data network gateway (PDN Gateway, PGW) to maintain continuity.In order to realize above-mentioned grappling, the target access system information needing the IP of mutual UE to flow between UE and PGW, has UE to trigger and network-triggered two kinds of modes at present:
A) UE triggers.Which realizes mutual by expanding to carry IP flow mobility rule (comprising rule mark, route filter (for describing IP stream), priority, routing address (corresponding connecting system information)) to the direct or indirect signaling between UE and PGW.Between UE and network, use network mobility management protocol proxy-mobile IP (Proxy Mobile IP, PMIP) and WLAN access network is credible time, a kind of scene of IP flow mobility process is shown in Figure 3 as follows, comprises the steps:
Step 31, UE are accessed by 3GPP simultaneously and non-3 GPP access is connected to core net, and a part of IP of this UE flows through 3GPP and accesses route, and all the other IP flow through non-3 GPP access network route;
Step 32, UE send an IP flow mobility to non-3 GPP access and trigger signaling, and this signaling comprises IP flow mobility routing rule, and this routing rule requires specific IP to flow through non-3 GPP access route.How this rule concrete realizes is determined by the agreement between UE and non-3 GPP access.
Step 33, non-3 GPP access send agent binding update (Proxy Binding Update to PGW, PBU) message, this message comprises the IP flow mobility routing rule that UE provides, concrete, this rule can pass through protocol configuration option (Protocol Configuration Option, PCO) carry, also can be realized by the mode of expansion PMIPv6 signaling.
Step 34, PGW are to "Policy and Charging Rules Function (Policy and Charging Rules Function, PCRF) entity sends IP connection access network (IP-Connectivity Access Network, IP-CAN) session modification message, this message carries the change of the mapping relations of the IP stream of UE and the connecting system of its correspondence;
Step 35, PCRF entity preserve the mapping relations of the stream of the IP after upgrading and connecting system thereof, and provide (QoS rules provision) message to non-3 GPP access transmission gateway control session (GW control session) and service quality (Quality of Service, QoS) rule;
Step 36, PGW return agent binding response (Proxy Binding Acknowledgement, PBA) message to non-3 GPP access, show that this IP flow mobility request is accepted;
Step 37, non-3 GPP access return IP flow mobility response (IP flow mobility ack) message to UE, show that this IP flow mobility request is accepted.
B), network-triggered.In which, IP flow mobility is by PCRF entity triggers, concrete: PCRF entity and strategy and charge execution function (Policy and Charging Enforcement Function, PCEF) need to preserve and safeguard that each IP flows the connecting system information of (per IP flows) granularity.PCRF entity determines that above-mentioned information by which connecting system route, and should be sent to PCEF by strategy and charging control (Policy and Charging Control, PCC) rule by each IP stream.Implementation procedure based on the IP flow mobility of such scheme is shown in Figure 4, comprises the steps:
Step 41, UE are accessed by 3GPP simultaneously and non-3 GPP access is connected to core net;
Step 42, PCRF entity receive the information of new business, carry out strategic decision-making and determine relevant IP to flow through non-3 GPP access route;
Step 43, PCRF entity initiate gateway control to non-3 GPP access and QoS rule provides process, and issue QoS rule to non-3 GPP access, this QoS rule comprises IP flow mobility routing rule;
Step 44, non-3 GPP access perform QoS rule, as reserved resource etc.;
Step 45, non-3 GPP access, after execution QoS rule, return response to PCRF entity;
Step 46, PCRF entity are initiated PCC rule to PGW and are provided process, and should pass through non-3 GPP access route to the relevant IP stream of PGW instruction.
3) connecting system resource and PCC framework;
PCC framework aims to provide a kind of strategy irrelevant with access technology and billing control method, is applicable to 3GPP access as universal mobile telecommunications system land radio access web (UMTS Terrestrial Radio Access Network, UTRAN; Universal Mobile Telecommunications System, UMTS), evolved universal mobile communication system land radio access web (Evolved UTRAN, and non-3 GPP access E-UTRAN), comprise Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave access interoperability (Worldwide interoperability for Microwave Access, WiMAX), WLAN etc.PCC framework comprises PCRF, PCEF, application function (Application Function, the node such as AF), AF is to the QoS demand of the business of transmission, carry out decision-making by PCRF entity and form PCC rule(PCC rule) be handed down to PCEF, PCEF performs this rule, data flow level QoS is mapped as carrying level QoS.This QoS demand is handed down to base station by core network control node, is carried out the scheduling of resource by base station according to the dispatching algorithm of setting.For the scene of non-3 GPP access technology core network access, the QoS demand needing non-3 GPP access node to have to issue according to PCRF entity carries out the mechanism ensured.Under having AF situation, PCC framework realizes the general principle of qos policy and charging control as shown in Figure 5.
As previously mentioned, current cordless communication network has developed into the heterogeneous communication system that comprises multiple access technology and access network.The key factor of communication system is distribution and the utilization of resource.In conventional art, the scheduling of resource of various Radio Access Network is carried out separately, as carried out resource coordination between eNB and WLAN access point (Access Point, AP).But, for heterogeneous communication system, separately the optimization collocation that scheduling of resource is unfavorable for resource between network is carried out to each access network.Therefore, intensively carry out scheduling of resource and control to have great importance for heterogeneous communication system.At present, the resource regulating method of optimization mainly contains following several:
A) based on UE.The core concept of these class methods is that UE scans ambient network (comprising Cellular Networks and wlan network etc.), obtains its relevant information as data rate, QoS ability, signal quality etc., carries out access network selection in conjunction with policy information.
B) Network Based.The core concept of these class methods is the resource informations being obtained access network by core net, and then adjusts access network selection strategy or carry out access control to the service request of UE.
But, existingly realize in the scheme of IP flow mobility, all based on semi-static ANDSF strategy, to select access technology and access network, owing to all not considering the real time resources service condition of access network, easily cause access network to occur congestion phenomenon, be unfavorable for unifying the resource that access network is limited, effectively dispatching and use.
