Detailed description of the invention

Currently, third generation partner program (3GPP) employs many access control functions, optionally disables Or the equipment of obstruction or discharge pattern use on network.3GPP is the conjunction between telecommunications industry association group (being referred to as Organization Partners) Make.It is currently, there are various ways to make network perform congestion control.

Such as, access grade obstruction (ACB) allows network to forbid subscriber equipment CUE) specific cell is carried out initial random Access channel (RACH) to access.Servicing specific Access Control (SSAC) is to allow network to forbid that UE is to Internet protocol (IP) many matchmakers Body service (IMS) voice or video initiate another example accessed.Job new in 3GPP is being studied based on application letter Breath performs the new method of congestion control.In 3GPP, these new jobs include: intelligent congestion alleviates (SCM), for number The specific congestion control of application (ACDC) and user plane (User Plane) congestion management (UPCON) according to communication.

SCM and ACDC combine current mechanism be network provide depend on user want initiate service or application class Type, controls to attempt the mechanism of the subscriber equipment (UE) of access network.Herein, UE be directly by terminal use for appointing of communicating Meaning equipment.This equipment can be enabled handheld phones, be equipped with mobile broadband adapter laptop computer or arbitrarily other Equipment.UE is connected to base-station node B (eNodeB), such as ETSI (ETSI) 125/136 series and 3GPP 25/ In 36 series of canonical as defined.UE corresponds roughly to the movement station (MS) in global system for mobile communications (GMS).

SCM only addresses the UE being in idle pulley, and ACDC addressing is in the UE of idle pulley and is in connection mode (in connection mode, UE has connected one service (such as, voice) of operation to UE, and UE wants to start new service (example As, video)).On the other hand, UPCON addressing is in connection mode, runs into the UE that user plane is congested.The target of UPCON is: When radio access network (RAN) congested generation, manage user plane traffic.Therefore, one has a problem in that: select to be gathered around The suitable user plane traffic stream of plug management.Selection will can by the method for the suitable user plane traffic stream of congestion management One or more subscribers, one or more application or the flow of one or more types can be affected.

Managing a kind of congested method of user plane is to control whole flows of given subscriber, it is not necessary to consider that this is ordered further The character of the traffic flow at family.Second candidate attribute of the flow that mark is to be managed is application type.It is right that some application types require Flow is close to processing in real time, and other application types may be relatively less sensitive to the time.Under user plane congestion condition, Application traffic less sensitive to the time should be controlled before controlling the application traffic the most sensitive to the time.

The other method of congestion management is to control certain form of flow.Application may relate to polytype flow (example As, social networking application may relate to user and browses between the model of friend, and then streaming is by regarding that friend issues Frequently).Therefore, the method may the given some type of flow applying (rather than other application) of impact.Therefore, this seems ratio User plane traffic management granularity based on application is finer.The another aspect of traffic management is whether user pays close attention to (attend) application-specific.Create and allow to carry out all kinds flow with the information about application attention rate (attendance) The control of combination is probably Quality of experience and the user's effective ways to the perception of network performance improving user.

The solution about UPCON discussed at present in 3GPP is based on ongoing in application type and community Discharge pattern performs congestion control.A part for UPCON target is based on being concerned (attended) flow and not closed Note (unattended) flow processes congested, thus limits and be not concerned flow.

Some embodiments describe for congested be not concerned flow and process in network based on being concerned flow Method and apparatus.In certain embodiments, UE is responsible for when network request is not concerned flow and/or based on configuration, blocks It is not concerned flow.In certain embodiments, UE configures according to through blocked should being used for.

Such as, when network sends instruction, when application is listed in release and/or by for not being identified unambiguously The default-action of application, application can suffer from blocking.In certain embodiments, if application is experienced by blocking and identified For not being concerned, then up (UL) flow that UE generates in this application of internal blocking.In certain embodiments, if application is exempted from Except blocking or being identified as to be concerned, then UE does not block the UL flow generated by this application.

In certain embodiments, describe to be classified as be concerned still be not concerned according to application and carry out congestion control Mechanism.In certain embodiments, define mark UE be whether be concerned generally indicate symbol.Such as, UE pays close attention to designator It is defined and used for assisted network filtration be not concerned flow or be concerned flow.In certain embodiments, showing as UE When display screen is closed, or use the feedback from the sensor in user or UE, it may be determined that UE pays close attention to the value of designator. In certain embodiments, in UE definition allow UE via designator follow the trail of which application be concerned application, which be not by The designator paying close attention to application and the hardware (such as, depositor) being associated.

In certain embodiments, paying close attention to designator can be any designator generated by UE.Such as, paying close attention to designator can Generated by operating system (OS), application, hardware etc..In certain embodiments, flow carried out point except existing assisted network Outside the method for class and designator, also user pays close attention to designator by network for effectively further classifying flow. The method can be used for congestion control, to flow prioritization, rate-shaping function etc..

In certain embodiments, the method for congestion control is applicable to UL because UE know flow that UE generates by That pays close attention to is not still concerned.In certain embodiments, under the method for congestion control is applicable to the application pulled based on UE Row (DL) situation.The application pulled based on UE is that such application: UE sends request, and as the result of request, DL occurs Transmission.

Such as, UE has run many such application: without user interaction, periodically from network Pulling data (such as, Email,Deng).In this case, the UL flow of this request It is not likely to be very big, but issuable DL flow may be bigger by periodically updating.In certain embodiments, by making Blocking UL request with being concerned/be not concerned designator, UE the most also blocks DL response.

In the following description, a large amount of details is discussed to provide the more thorough explanation of embodiment of this disclosure. It is, however, obvious to a person skilled in the art that can implement in the case of there is no these details Embodiment of the disclosure.In other instances, the structure known to (rather than describing in detail) and equipment are shown in block diagram form, thus Avoid fuzzy embodiment of the disclosure.

Figure 1A some embodiments show carrying service architecture 100, for according to UE and/or application according to the disclosure It is concerned classification and is not concerned classification to process data traffic.Framework 100 includes UE 101, evolved universal mobile communications system System (UMTS) Terrestrial Radio Access Network (E-UTRAN) node B (eNB) 102, gateway (SGW) 103, public data network (PDN) gateway (GW) (that is, PGW) 104, Mobility Management Entity (MME) 105, home subscriber servers (HSS) 106, dynamically lead Machine configuration protocol (DHCP) application (App.) server or domain name system (DNS) App. server 107, router 108, fire wall 109 and the Internet 110.

In certain embodiments, UE 101 be directly by end subscriber for the arbitrary equipment communicated.UE 101 can be hands Hold formula phone, the laptop computer being equipped with mobile broadband adapter or any other equipment.UE 101 is connected to base station joint Point B/eNodeB 102, as defined in ETSI 125/136 series and 3GPP 25/36 series of canonical.UE 101 is big Cause corresponding to the movement station (MS) in global system for mobile communications (GMS).In certain embodiments, UE 101 can have and deposits Device, this depositor is used for storing UE and pays close attention to designator, thus assisted network filters and is not concerned flow or is concerned flow.Use Various carryings (that is, carrier wave) provide from UE to the end-to-end service of such as the Internet.The reality of UE 101 is described with reference to Figure 1B Execute example.

Referring back to Figure 1A, E-UTRAN node B 102 (also referred to as evolved node B, is abbreviated as eNodeB or eNB) Being the element in the E-UTRA of Long Term Evolution (LTE) standard, E-UTRAN node B 102 is that the UMTS terrestrial radio of UMTS connects Enter the evolution of element anode B in (UTRA).UMTS is that the third generation based on global system for mobile communications (GSM) standard moves honeybee Nest network system.UMTS is connected to the hardware of mobile telephone network, and wherein mobile telephone network directly communicates with UE, similar Base transceiver station (BTS) in GSM network.Traditionally, node B has minimum function, and by radio net control Device (RNC) controls.But, in the case of there is eNB 102, there is not independent controller component.This simplify framework And allow less response time.

ENB 102 and System Architecture Evolution (SAE) core (also referred to as Evolved Packet Core (EPC)) and other ENB (not shown) contacts.Such as, eNB 102 is using S1-for control plane flow on the S1-MME interface of MME AP agreement.ENB 102 also uses General Packet Radio Service (GPRS) Tunneling Protocol (GTP-U), and GTP-U is the S1-with SGW For the IP-based agreement of typical case of GPRS core network protocols of user plane traffic on u interface.S1-MME and S1-U interface quilt Being referred to as S1 interface, S1 interface represents the interface from eNB 102 to Evolved Packet Core (EPC).With reference to Fig. 1 C, eNB is described The embodiment of 102a/b/c/d.

It is S11 referring back to the interface between Figure 1A, SGW 103 and MME 105.SGW 103 terminates going to connecing of RAN Mouthful, and route data packet between RAN and EPC.Additionally, SGW 103 can be the local mobile anchor of switching between eNB Point, and may be provided for ambulant anchor point between 3GPP.Other responsibilities can include lawful intercept, charging and some strategies Implement.MME 105 is functionally similar to the control plane of legacy service GPRS Support Node (SGSN).MME 105 is accessing Aspect management mobility aspect, such as, gateway selects and trace regions list management.Interface between MME 105 and HSS 106 It is S6a.Interface between PGW 104 and router 108 is SGi.Interface between router 108 and fire wall 109 is SGi.

PGW 104 terminates going to the SGi interface of Packet Data Network (PDN).PGW 104 is at EPC and outside PDN (not shown) Between route data packet, and be probably and implement and the key node of accounting data collection for strategy.PGW 104 can also be Non-LTE accesses and provides ambulant anchor point under situation.Outside PDN can be IP network and the IP multimedia subsystem of any kind System (IMS) territory.PGW 104 and SGW 103 can be implemented in an entity node or different entity node.

Traffic flow or server data stream (SDF) are tied to UL side by UL (up) the traffic flow template (TFT) in UE 101 To Evolved Packet System (EPS) carrying (that is, carrier wave).By multiple upstream packet filters are included in UL TFT, Multiple traffic flows can be multiplexed in same EPS carrying.

Traffic flow is tied to the EPS carrying in DL direction by DL (descending) TFT in PGW 104.By by multiple descending point Set filter is included in DL TFT, can be multiplexed in same EPS carrying by multiple traffic flows.

In EPC (being not explicitly labeled), enhanced radio access bearer (E-RAB) passes between UE101 and SGW 103 The packet of defeated EPS carrying.When there is E-RAB, existing between this E-RAB and EPS carries and mapping one to one.

The packet of the EPS carrying between data radio carrying transmission UE 101 and eNB 102.When there is data radio During carrying, exist between the carrying of this data radio and EPS carrying/E-RAB and map one to one.S1 carrying transmission eNB 102 And the packet of the E-RAB between SGW 103.The packet of the EPS carrying between S5/S8 carrying transmission SGW 103 and PGW 104.

UE 101 stores the mapping between UL packet filter and data radio bearer, to create traffic flow on UL direction And the binding relationship between data radio carrying.PGW 104 stores the mapping between DL packet filter and S5/S8a carrying, With the binding relationship between traffic flow and S5/S8a carry on establishment DL direction.ENB 102 stores data radio carrying and S1 Mapping one to one between carrying, the binding carried between S1 carrying to create data radio in UL and DL both direction is closed System.SGW 103 stores the mapping one to one between S1 carrying and S5/S8a carrying, to create S1 carrying in UL and DL both direction And the binding relationship between S5/S8a carrying.

PDN connects and includes that some EPS carry, and each EPS carrying (except the EPS carrying of acquiescence) has associated there Traffic flow template (TFT).Default EPS bearing can have TFT, but it is perhaps without TFT.When UE needs to send UL number of users Whether, during according to packet, UE checks packet filter in whole TFT, exist and this user data to check in these TFT The TFT that packet matches.Each packet filter estimates priority along with a packet filter.In some embodiments In, UE 101, from the beginning of the packet filter with highest estimated priority, checks packet filter.UE 101 once finds Occurrence, its EPS being just delivered to this user data packets be associated accordingly carries to carry out UL transmission.For DL side To, PGW104 occurs identical process.Default bearing is left in the packet not matched with any packet filter subsequently for.

In certain embodiments, always according to UE 101 pay close attention to designator or application pay close attention to designator to control traffic flow, its In, UE 101 pays close attention to designator or application is paid close attention to that the packet in designator instruction flow is concerned or is not concerned. Herein, the flow being concerned generally refers to when (such as, UE 101) user uses (such as, UE the most alternately and actively On 101) arbitrarily application time the data on flows that generates.The flow that term is not concerned generally refers to use while generating flow The data on flows that when family uses application the most actively, (such as, by UE 101) is generated.

In certain embodiments, PGW 104 included the packet filter of uplink traffic stream and dividing in downlink traffic stream Set filter carries out the logic bound.In certain embodiments, PGW 104 includes logic that: this logic works as uplink traffic The associated packet filter of stream is correspondingly designated when being concerned or be not concerned, and downlink traffic is grouped in downstream Amount stream is labeled as being concerned or not being concerned.In certain embodiments, eNB 102 applies this labelling to adjust to perform downlink grouped Degree.In certain embodiments, eNB 102 notifies congested to UE 101, and wherein traffic flow is drawn by UE 101 in response to this notice Divide priority.

Traffic classification is background traffic or non-background traffic may not capture that flow is concerned or not closed Note.Term background traffic be generally used to run the most in the background application type classify.But, there are Time run in the background and other times not in the application of running background, in this case, these application can not be classified as after Platform.Such as,Application can run to receive renewal in the background, and when user passes throughApplication is talked Time, the flow generated is not background traffic.

Various embodiments describe by using the some modes managing flow to following true relevant information: application It is probably that be concerned or is not concerned.

In certain embodiments, defining first kind identifier, whether its mark UE 101 is be concerned.This identifier Referred to herein as pay close attention to identifier.In certain embodiments, pay close attention to identifier and may indicate that flow is to be concerned flow also It is not to be concerned flow.Such as, the data on flows generated when the display screen of UE 101 is closed can be classified as not to be concerned Flow, and via the user from UE 101 feedback or UE 101 in sensor generate data on flows can be classified as by Pay close attention to flow.

In certain embodiments, the classification of various types of datas on flows can pass through communication standard, user preference, system fortune That battalion business etc. is defined as being concerned or be not concerned.For example, it may be how the lasting perception user of hardware sensor uses and sets Standby；Can be that the OS in equipment determines that user the most just interacts with application；Can also is that the software running algorithm is by flow That be categorized as being concerned or be not concerned；What what in different situations, given flow should be considered as being concerned be not still concerned Can preconfigured in a device, or user can should be considered as given flow in different situations being concerned the most not by Pay close attention to pre-configured in a device, etc..

In certain embodiments, defining the second designator, this second designator can be the new of establishment in UE 101 Function, with via the second designator follow the trail of which application be concerned application, which application be the application not being concerned.The Designator is paid close attention in the referred to herein as application of two designators.In certain embodiments, user pay close attention to designator can with assist net Any existing method of network combines, and more efficiently to classify flow.Such as, user pay close attention to identifier can be with application Type indicator combines, wherein, and the type of the application that the instruction of application type designator is being used.

In certain embodiments, pay close attention to designator and be not based on each application based on each UE 101.Consider so Example: one application just in each UE of two UE run, this application makes these UE be in active state.Such as, when When user drives the most in real time, a UE is for house operation global positioning system (GPS) application of friend；And another UE downloads movies, and enables a user to off-line after a while and watches this film.But, the two application is all web flow amount, uses Family just check on UE screen GPS map for driving situation, but user is likely not to have the video checking that another UE is downloaded, And this application may be just at running background.In this example, can be by the application downloaded movies to GPS application distribution ratio Higher priority manages the flow congestion on network, because once user clicks download link or button, does not exists This application downloaded movies is used on UE screen.

In certain embodiments, UE 101 sends out to network (that is, eNB 102, other assemblies in SGW 103 and UL path) Send concern designator, to indicate user the most just to interact (such as, using phone actively) with equipment.So Embodiment in, when designator is arranged to very (true), network may consider UE 101 just at wait-for-response.Real at some Execute in example, can come relative to other datas on flows certain data on flows priorization according to the polarity paying close attention to designator.Real at some Executing in example, when paying close attention to designator and not being set, congested when, data on flows may be delayed by.

Although being to be concerned data on flows with reference to concern designator being set to logic 1 (that is, true) to indicate data on flows And concern designator is set to logical zero (that is, false (false)) is not to be concerned data on flows to retouch to indicate data on flows State embodiment, but this process can be contrary.Such as, in certain embodiments, not instruction (that is, is set when concern designator During for logical zero) may mean that UE is to pay close attention to UE and the flow that is associated with this concern UE is high-priority traffic.Do not refer to Show that can also imply UE is not pay close attention to UE and do not pay close attention to the flow that UE is associated with this be lower priority traffic.

In certain embodiments, pay close attention to designator to be sent to network by UE 101.In certain embodiments, OS or hardware or Middleware or other (one or more) application generate and pay close attention to designator.In certain embodiments, network request pays close attention to designator. In certain embodiments, pay close attention to designator to be sent periodically to network.Such as, setting based on UE 101 or from net The configurable setting of network, pays close attention to designator and is provided to network.

In certain embodiments, pay close attention to designator to be associated with each application just run on UE 101.Such as, at UE The each application run on 101 may indicate that the most whether the user of UE 101 is currently in use UE 101 and (that is, UE 101 sends Data on flows be concerned data on flows or be not concerned data on flows).This instruction can help Network Recognition, and which should Packet need that there is higher priority.

In certain embodiments, UE 101 includes that device for sending from this concern designator to network is (and/or by this dress Put the method being associated of execution).Such method can be such as when UE 101 just initially starts to be connected with peer application Radio resource control (RRC) message a part.Alternatively, UE 101 (such as, can exist in the packet of protocol stack level Medium education (MAC) head) in include some labels, be used to refer to enter that the packet of this channel is concerned or not It is concerned.Some embodiments describe Network finding special services or data on flows is concerned or the side not being concerned Method or scheme.In certain embodiments, OS or hardware or other application generate application and pay close attention to designator.In certain embodiments, Application is paid close attention to designator and can be used to the application prioritization run on UE 101, thus managing network flow is congested.

Such as, if with reference to two application run on two different UE respectively examples discussed two application by Same UE uses, then this user will pay close attention to GPS screen.In such an example, application is paid close attention to designator and is likely to instruction GPS Data on flows has higher priority relative to movie download application.

At present, each TFT with EPS carrying is associated.In certain embodiments, (one or more) pay close attention to designator (example As, UE pays close attention to designator or designator is paid close attention in application) alternatively it is added in packet filter, thus also be able to identify flow That stream is concerned or be not concerned.In certain embodiments, describe the new packet filter assembly of use to come UL Method with DL traffic congestion control.Additionally, new packet filter parameter/assembly can be used for by UE 101 and network Such as assist in other functions some of flow prioritization, data rate shaping etc.
