Detailed Description

The technical solution of the present invention is further described in detail with reference to the drawings and the specific embodiments of the specification.

As shown in fig. 1, the present embodiment provides a transmission policy configuration method, applied to a mobile edge computing MEC platform, including:

step S110: receiving an access request sent by User Equipment (UE);

step S120: determining whether a transmission policy needs to be configured;

step S130: when the transmission strategy needs to be configured, sending a configuration request to a base station connected with the UE; the configuration request is used for indicating the base station, and configuring a virtual bearer and/or an air interface sub-policy between the base station and the MEC platform; the virtual bearer is used for transmitting service information corresponding to the access request; the air interface sub-strategy is used for controlling the air interface resource scheduling of the service information corresponding to the access request;

step S140: receiving feedback information returned by the base station based on the configuration request; wherein the feedback information is used for informing the MEC platform of the configuration state of the transmission strategy.

The transmission policy configuration method described in this embodiment is applied to an MEC platform, and may be used for the MEC platform to control a base station connected to a UE, for example, an evolved node b (eNB) configures a transmission policy; the transmission policy here includes at least configuring a virtual bearer.

In step S110, the MEC platform receives an access request sent by the UE, where the access request may be forwarded by a base station, such as an eNB, connected to the UE. The access request may be a hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) request.

The MEC platform determines whether a transmission policy needs to be configured in step S120. The transmission policy includes configuration of a virtual bearer and/or configuration of an air interface sub-policy. In a specific implementation, the configuration of the transmission policy may at least include configuration of a virtual bearer. And the empty sub-policy is used for providing a basis for resource scheduling of the service information corresponding to the access request. In this way, different air interface resource scheduling is realized according to different service information. The step S120 may include: and determining whether a dedicated transmission strategy needs to be configured for the UE or a dedicated transmission strategy is configured for the first service corresponding to the access request based on the access request.

In this embodiment, the configuring the virtual bearer may include establishing a transmission tunnel between the MEC platform and the base station and configuring a priority for the transmission tunnel. Here, the two ends of the transmission tunnel are respectively: an MEC platform and an eNB connected with the UE. The priority may be a transmission priority of the service information of the access request.

In step S130, when the transmission policy needs to be configured, the MEC platform sends a configuration request to the base station to which the UE is connected. Thus, after receiving the configuration request, the base station to which the UE is connected configures a corresponding transmission policy, for example, configures at least a virtual bearer. In this way, when the service information of the access request is transmitted for the UE subsequently, the transmission policy is used for transmission, so as to implement different transmission configurations of different services from the UE to the MEC platform, thereby meeting the service transmission quality of different service requirements.

For example, the virtual bearer is configured, so that the subdivision of the transmission bearer between the MEC platform and the base station in the wired link is realized, and the problem of service transmission unsatisfied with high quality of service (QoS) requirements due to the adoption of uniform transmission bearer can be avoided. In addition, if the transmission strategy is specially configured for the UE, different transmission controls of different services are realized, and different transmission controls of different UEs are also realized, so that different transmission requirements of different UEs and different services are met.

In step S140, feedback information sent by the base station is received, where the feedback information may be an ACK or an NCK. When the transmission strategy is successfully configured, the MEC platform receives feedback information comprising ACK, and when the transmission strategy is not successfully configured, the MEC platform receives feedback information comprising NACK. After the transmission strategy configuration is successful, the data can be transmitted by using the transmission side path in a targeted manner.

In this embodiment, the UE may include various mobile terminals, such as a mobile phone, a tablet computer, or a wearable device, and is connected to the base station through an air interface.

In this embodiment, the configuration request further indicates the base station to configure a corresponding air interface sub-policy, where the air interface sub-policy is used to allocate air interface resources for the access request service information, and different services have different transmission delay requirements, and the like.

In this embodiment, the service information may include service data, signaling for controlling transmission of the service data, and the like.

Therefore, in this embodiment, not only the wired link between the base station and the MEC platform is configured with the corresponding virtual bearer according to the characteristics of the service information, but also the air interface sub-policy of the service information corresponding to the access request is configured for the part of the wireless link, thereby ensuring that the service requirements of the service can be met in both wired link transmission and wireless link transmission, and improving the service quality of the service.

In some embodiments, the configuration request carries at least one of device identifier information, priority information, and a transmission key;

the configuration request carries at least one of equipment mark information, priority information and a transmission key; the equipment identity information comprises an interface identifier of an S1 interface to which the UE is connected; the device identifier information is used for configuring a transmission tunnel corresponding to the virtual bearer and the configuration of the selection sub-policy; wherein the transmission key is used for encrypting the encryption of the information transmitted by the transmission tunnel; the priority is used for configuring the transmission priority of the transmission tunnel; the priority is used for configuring the empty port sub-policy.

The interface identifier of the S1 interface may include a signaling plane identifier and a data plane identifier. The signaling plane identification may include: s1AP ID (e.g., gprs tunneling protocol control plane GTP-C signaling plane), the data plane identification may include: the tunnel port identifies the TEID (e.g., general packet radio service tunneling protocol user GTP-U data plane). These identities, which may be assigned to the UE by the eNB or the like, may be used to uniquely identify the UE and may also be used to configure a virtual bearer for the UE.

The priority information may be used to indicate the priority of the transmission tunnel in the virtual bearer and the configuration of the air interface sub-policy. The transport tunnel may be an end-to-end data transport link. The priority may indicate a priority of the transport tunnel.

The introduction of the transmission key can enable data transmission to be carried out by utilizing the transmission tunnel, and the information after encryption is transmitted, so that the safety of the information can be improved.

In some embodiments, the S110 may include: receiving an access request which is sent by the UE and carries a mark field;

the step S120 may include:

In this embodiment, the access request carries an identification field, and the content of the identification field may be used by the MEC platform to determine whether a corresponding transmission policy needs to be configured. For example, the flag field may be 1 or more bits. The identification field is assumed to be 1 bit. In step S120, it may be considered that when the bit is 1, it is determined that a transmission policy needs to be configured, otherwise, it is considered that a transmission policy may not be configured, and the data may be transmitted by using an existing default transmission manner, for example, a default bearer may be used, and the data does not need to be transmitted by using a virtual bearer specifically configured in this embodiment. The transmission priority of the transmission policy configured in the embodiment of the present invention may be considered to be higher than the transmission priority of the default transmission mode.

For example, the account used by the UE sending the access request is a Very reusable Person (VIP) account, and if the identification field is 1 bit, the content of the bit may be 1, so that the MEC platform configures a transmission policy (e.g., a virtual bearer) dedicated to the UE sending the access request after receiving the request, so as to improve a priority of transmission, reduce transmission delay as much as possible, and improve a transmission rate.

As shown in fig. 2, the present embodiment provides a transmission policy configuration method, which is applied in a base station, and includes:

step S210, sending an access request sent by user equipment to a mobile edge computing MEC platform;

step S220: receiving a configuration request sent by the MEC platform based on the access request;

step S230: configuring a transmission strategy between the MEC platforms of the base station in response to the configuration request; wherein the configuring the transmission policy comprises: configuring a virtual bearer and/or an air interface sub-policy between the base station and the MEC platform; the virtual bearer is used for transmitting service information corresponding to the access request; the air interface sub-strategy is used for controlling the air interface resource scheduling of the service information corresponding to the access request;

step S240: after configuring the transmission policy, sending feedback information indicating a configuration state of the transmission policy to the MEC platform.

The method described in this embodiment may be a transmission policy configuration method applied to a base station, and in this embodiment, the base station may perform configuration of transmission policies of different services according to the MEC platform. In this embodiment, the configuring of the transmission policy includes configuring a virtual bearer and/or an air interface sub-policy; in a specific implementation, the configuration of the transmission policy may at least include a configuration of a virtual bearer.

In this embodiment, the virtual bearer is directly configured between the MEC platform and the base station, and may include establishing a transmission tunnel between the MEC platform and the base station, and configuring a priority of the transmission tunnel. The configuration of the air interface sub-policy at least comprises configuration of priority of air interface resource scheduling of service information corresponding to the access request. Of course, in a specific implementation process, the configuration of the air interface sub-policy may further include information such as a type of air interface resource configured to be used, and is not limited to the scheduling priority.

The configuration request carries at least one of equipment mark information, priority information and a transmission key; the device identifier information includes at least one of a signaling plane identifier, a data plane identifier, and an interface identifier of an S1 interface to which the UE is connected. The detailed description of the various information carried in the configuration request can be referred to the foregoing embodiments, and is not repeated here. In this embodiment, the configuring a virtual bearer between the base station and the MEC platform includes: establishing a transmission tunnel between the base station and the MEC platform according to the signaling plane identifier and the data plane identifier; configuring the priority of the transmission tunnel according to the priority information; wherein the transmission key is used for encrypting the encryption of the information transmitted by the transmission tunnel. By configuring the transmission key of the virtual bearer, when the subsequent virtual bearer transmits data, the transmission key is utilized to encrypt the data, and the encrypted data increases the difficulty of stealing, so that the security of the data is improved.

The configuring the air interface sub-policy comprises: and configuring the priority of air interface resource scheduling in the air interface sub-strategy according to the priority information.

For example, different priorities for scheduling air interface resources may be configured for different types of services, and the higher the priority for scheduling is, the higher the probability that the air interface resource for transmitting the service information is obtained is, so as to improve the transmission rate of the service information. Of course, the scheduling priority of the air interface resource herein may include the priority of the resource scheduling amount, in addition to the priority of the scheduling time of the air interface resource. For example, for different service information, the number of air interface resources scheduled at one time for the service information with high priority may be greater than the number of air interface resources scheduled at one time for the service information with low priority.

In short, in this embodiment, through the configuration of the transmission policy, for different services, different transmission policies can be configured between the UE and the MEC platform, and particularly, a virtual bearer is established before the eNB connected to the UE and the MEC platform, so that bearer segmentation of different services is realized, transmission requirements of different service information are met, and service transmission quality is improved.

As shown in fig. 3, an information transmission method provided in an embodiment of the present invention includes:

step S310: receiving first service information of User Equipment (UE);

step S320: selecting a virtual bearer for transmitting the first service information and/or scheduling air interface resources according to a transmission strategy; the virtual bearer is an information bearer established between the base station and the MEC platform connected to the UE.

In this embodiment, the first service information may include service data and/or service instructions of the first service. The service data may be divided into an uplink service and a downlink service.

In step S310, first service information of the UE is received, where the service information is uplink service information if the service information is sent by the UE, and the service information may be downlink service information if the service information is from a network element on a network side. If the first service is an uplink service, the executing entity executing the steps S310 and S320 may be a base station; if the first service is a downlink service, the main body for executing the steps S310 and S320 may be an MEC platform.

In this embodiment, after receiving the first service information, a transmission policy according to the first service information is obtained, where the transmission policy includes configuration information of a virtual bearer and an empty port sub-policy; therefore, the corresponding virtual bearer can be selected according to the transmission strategy, and the air interface resource can be scheduled according to the air interface sub-strategy. And carrying out virtual bearing for transmitting the first service information and/or scheduling air interface resources. And selecting the corresponding virtual bearer, including selecting a transmission tunnel, the priority of the transmission tunnel, the priority of scheduling air interface resources and the like.

In this embodiment, the virtual bearers between the base station and the MEC platform are subdivided into multiple types, and the transmission priorities of different virtual bearers are different, in this embodiment, a priority matched with the first service information is selected according to the characteristics of the first service information, and information such as a priority for scheduling air interface resources is determined according to the information characteristics of the first service.

In short, in this embodiment, when the eNB transmits data between the UE and the MEC platform, the virtual bearer and/or the air interface resource scheduling adapted to the service information may be selected according to different service information to control transmission of the first service information, so that different transmission bearers and air interface resource scheduling of different service information may be implemented, and service transmission requirements of different service information may be met.

As shown in fig. 4, the step S320 may include:

step S321: determining the priority of the first service information transmission;

step S322: selecting a virtual bearer corresponding to the priority, and transmitting the first service information between the base station and the MEC platform; and/or scheduling air interface resources for the first service information according to the priority.

In this embodiment, because the priority levels of the virtual bearers are different, in this embodiment, the corresponding virtual bearer may be selected according to the priority levels to transmit the first service information; and or scheduling air interface resources for the first service information according to the priority.

Here, in step S321, a Packet of the first service information may be analyzed through Deep Packet Inspection (DPI), some characteristic parameters of the Packet are obtained, and a priority level of transmission of the first service information is determined according to the characteristic parameters. For example, a sending UE or a receiving UE of the first service information may be extracted, and a service type corresponding to the first service information may be determined.

In the above, only one way of selecting the virtual bearer and scheduling the air interface resource according to the transmission policy is provided, and in a specific implementation process, according to the transmission policy, the method may further include: and acquiring the service characteristics of the first service information, selecting a virtual bearer according to the service characteristics, the type of the scheduled air interface resource and the like.

Step S321 may include, as described in fig. 5:

step S3211: judging whether the first service information is the service information of the specified service; if yes, the process proceeds to step S3212:

the step S3212 includes: and determining that the priority of the first service information is not lower than the 1 st priority.

For example, there are multiple services transmitted by the network, some of which are services with high priority levels, and in this embodiment, when the first service information is the service information of the specified service, it is determined that the service information of the first service is not lower than the 1 st priority level. In a specific implementation process, if the first service information is not the service information of the specified service, the priority of the first service information may be considered as 0 th priority; the 0 th priority is lower than the 1 st priority. Priority 0 may also be referred to herein as a default priority.

As shown in fig. 5, when the first service information is the service information of the specified service, the step S321 further includes:

step S3213: judging whether the UE sending the uplink service is the specified type UE of the specified service, if so, entering a step S3214;

the step S3214 includes: and determining the priority of the first service information as the 2 nd priority higher than the 1 st priority. Here also the 2 nd priority is higher than the 1 st priority. The use account of the specified service can be divided into a VIP account and a common account number, and when the UE is user equipment of the VIP account, the UE can be considered as the specified type UE. For example, whether the UE is the UE of the specified type may be determined according to a device identifier of the UE, an account carried by the first service information, a cell radio network temporary identifier C-RNTI, and the like. In this way, service transmission with higher priority can be provided for the VIP account, for example, a virtual bearer with higher priority is selected for data transmission, or when the VIP account and the general account have the first service data transmission at the same time, the virtual bearer is preferably selected for the VIP account, and/or, an air interface resource is preferably scheduled for the VIP account, and smooth transmission of the first service information of the VIP account is preferably ensured, so that transmission of service data of different types of UEs is distinguished, and service quality of service information of the UE of a specific type is improved.

Of course, in a specific implementation, if the UE is not the UE of the specified type, the priority of the first service information of the UE is the 1 st priority.

More further, when the UE is the UE of the specified type, the step S321 further includes:

step S3215: judging whether the first service information is the service information of the specified type service in the specified service; if yes, go to step S3216;

the step S3216 may include: determining a 3 rd priority of the traffic information over the 2 nd priority. In this embodiment, the 3 rd priority is higher than the 2 nd priority. For example, there are services that can be divided into a plurality of subtypes among the designated services, some of the sub-services are important services, and the priority of the important service will be increased again in this implementation, so the 3 rd priority higher than the 2 nd priority is set in this embodiment. Of course, if the first service information is not the service information of the designated type of service, the priority of the first service information is the 2 nd priority.

In some embodiments, when the first service information is the service information of the specified service, the step S321 further includes:

step S3215: judging whether the first service information is the service information of the specified type service in the specified service; if yes, go to step S3217, if not, the priority of the first service information may be considered as the first service priority or enter another priority pending flow.

Step S3216: and when the first service information is the service information of the specified type service in the specified service, selecting the virtual bearer with the 4 th priority higher than the 1 st priority.

In this embodiment, the 4 th priority is higher than the 1 st priority, but the high-low relationship between the 4 th priority and the 2 nd priority and the 3 rd priority does not have a certain high-low order.

As such, step S322 may include:

when the priority of the first service information is the nth priority, selecting the virtual bearer of the nth priority to transmit the service information, which may specifically be: and selecting the transmission tunnel with the priority of the nth priority to transmit the first service information. The value of n can be 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 and the like.

Step S2: and the APP manufacturer and the MEC platform complete the requirement butt joint and the platform loading.

Example four:

the present example provides a data transmission method, including:

when UE carries out uplink data service, eNB receives uplink data of the UE, first judgment is carried out on the side of the eNB, whether the uplink data service designates the service is judged, if yes, the UE-oriented preferential forwarding is carried out, second judgment is carried out on information which marks UE users such as C-RNTI and the like, whether the UE preferentially forwards the UE is judged, if yes, third segmentation is carried out on the UE-oriented preferential forwarding, whether the service designates the designated type service in the service is judged, and if yes, the eNB forwards the data service preferentially; otherwise, the eNB forwards the data according to a normal default bearer mode.

When a network side carries out downlink data service on UE, an MEC platform receives downlink messages of the UE and carries out DPI analysis, if the UE is in the action range of a transmission strategy of the MEC platform, the data service is preferentially forwarded by the MEC platform, and an eNB also preferentially forwards the service at an air interface; otherwise, the MEC platform and the eNB forward according to a normal default bearing mode. In this embodiment, the MEC platform determines whether the ue is in the transmission coverage, which may be implemented by the MEC platform by performing various similar determinations performed by the eNB, or may directly receive the determination result from the eNB. In a specific implementation, since the returned response is transmitted by using a wired link, and the difference between the transmission quality of the data bearer with the high priority and the transmission quality of the data bearer with the low priority may not be large, the MEC platform may not make the determination of the transmission policy at this time, and may randomly select one data bearer for forwarding.
