一种实现对 WAP群组差异化服务的方法和 WAP网关本申请要求于 2007 年 12 月 5 日提交中国专利局，申请号为 200710199006.6, 发明名称为 "一种实现对 WAP群组差异化服务的方法和 WAP网关" 的中国专利申请的优先权，其全部内容通过引用结合在本申请中。技术领域 Method for implementing WAP group differentiated service and WAP gateway The application request is submitted to the Chinese Patent Office on December 5, 2007, and the application number is 200710199006.6, and the invention name is "a kind of realization of WAP group differentiation service. The priority of the method and the WAP gateway of the Chinese Patent Application, the entire contents of which is incorporated herein by reference. Technical field

本发明实施例涉及 WAP技术，特别涉及一种实现对 WAP群组差异化服务的方法和 WAP网关。背景技术 The embodiment of the invention relates to the WAP technology, and in particular to a method for implementing a WAP group differentiation service and a WAP gateway. Background technique

目前 WAP网关将所有接入用户视为同一个群体，网关内部没有用户群组，不记录相关群组签约信息，对其按照先来先服务策略。 At present, the WAP gateway treats all access users as the same group. There is no user group inside the gateway, and the relevant group subscription information is not recorded, and the first-come-first service policy is adopted.

目前，用户访问通过 WAP网关访问 SP的业务处理流程中，用户为能够通过 WAP网关访问 SP, 首先通过 SGSN、 GGSN和 WAP 网关进行 PDP上下文激活过程，在成功完成 PDP上下文激活过程后，用户再通过 WAP网关进行业务访问。 Currently, the user accesses the service process through the WAP gateway to access the SP. The user can access the SP through the WAP gateway. The PDP context activation process is first performed through the SGSN, the GGSN, and the WAP gateway. After the PDP context activation process is successfully completed, the user passes the The WAP gateway performs service access.

在 PDP上下文激活过程中，虽然在 WAP网关接收的计费开始请求消息中包括协商好的 QoS信息，但是 WAP网关内部并未针对 QoS 信息做处理，而是将所有接入用户视为相同的服务等级，对其按照先来先服务策略转发用户请求，并且在转发给 SP的用户请求中不包括 QoS信息。 SP也对接收到的所有用户请求釆用先来先服务的策略，并且为所有用户提供相同的响应内容，如服务信息、页面内容和计费策略等。 In the PDP context activation process, although the negotiated QoS information is included in the charging start request message received by the WAP gateway, the WAP gateway does not internally process the QoS information, but treats all access users as the same service. The level, which forwards the user request according to the first-come, first-served policy, and does not include the QoS information in the user request forwarded to the SP. The SP also requests a first-come, first-served policy for all received user requests, and provides the same response content for all users, such as service information, page content, and billing policies.

在实现本发明的过程中，发明人发现按照现有方式进行的用户通过 WAP网关进行 SP服务访问的过程中， WAP网关平等接入所有用户，将所接入用户的服务优先级看作相同，平等地转发用户请求，没有针对用户的需求，对不同用户提供不同的服务等级； SP接收 WAP 网关平等转发的用户请求后，为所有用户提供相同的服务，也无法根据用户特征提供差异化服务。发明内容 In the process of implementing the present invention, the inventor finds that in the process of the user accessing the SP service through the WAP gateway, the WAP gateway accesses all users equally, and regards the service priority of the accessed users as the same. Forward user requests equally, without providing different service levels for different users for the needs of users; SP receiving WAP After the gateway forwards the user request equally, it provides the same service for all users, and it cannot provide differentiated services according to user characteristics. Summary of the invention

When the MS initiates a user request, the WAP gateway extracts the user identifier from the user request sent by the MS, and searches for the corresponding group target by using the user identifier as an index. It is known that when the user request is forwarded to the SP, the found group identifier is carried, thereby notifying the SP of the group to which the requesting user belongs. After receiving the user request, the SP determines the corresponding service content according to the group to which the user belongs, and responds to the user through the WAP gateway. In this way, the SP can obtain the group information to which the user belongs, and provide the corresponding service content to the user according to the corresponding relationship between the saved group and the different service content, thereby achieving the purpose of providing differentiated services for different users.

上述即为对本发明实施例的总体概述，可见，本发明实施例能够利用用户群组的设置，实现 SP为不同 WAP用户提供差异化服务的目的。 The foregoing is a general overview of an embodiment of the present invention. It can be seen that the embodiment of the present invention can implement the purpose of providing differentiated services for different WAP users by using the setting of the user group.

事实上，在用户群组信息和用户信息中还可以进一步包括与群组标识对应的签约 QoS范围和与用户标识对应的该用户的签约 QoS信息，从而使 WAP网关能够保存用户和用户群组的 QoS信息，并进一步根据用户的 QoS信息，划分服务的优先级，并按照该服务优先级为用户提供服务。划分，下面提供两种划分方式，一种是按照用户所属的运营商划分，一种是按照用户的签约 QoS等级划分。下面通过具体实施例说明两种划分方式下本发明实施例的具体实施方式。 In fact, the user group information and the user information may further include a contracted QoS range corresponding to the group identifier and the subscription QoS information of the user corresponding to the user identifier, so that the WAP gateway can save the user and the user group. The QoS information, and further classifying the priority of the service according to the QoS information of the user, and providing services to the user according to the priority of the service. Dividing, the following two ways are provided, one is divided according to the operator to which the user belongs, and the other is divided according to the subscription QoS level of the user. The specific embodiments of the embodiments of the present invention in the two modes are described below by using specific embodiments.

实施例一： Embodiment 1:

本实施例中，按照用户所属的运营商将用户划分为不同的用户群组。并且，在用户信息和用户群组信息中均包括相关的 QoS信息， WAP网关能够主动发起 QoS协商，与 MS和无线侧就 MS的 QoS等级进行协商，并在用户信息中保存每次协商后的结果。流程图。如图 3所示，该方法包括： In this embodiment, the user is divided into different user group groups according to the operator to which the user belongs. Moreover, the related information is included in the user information and the user group information, and the WAP gateway can initiate QoS negotiation actively, negotiate with the MS and the wireless side on the QoS level of the MS, and save the information in the user information after each negotiation. result. flow chart. As shown in Figure 3, the method includes:

步骤 301 ,按照用户所属的运营商将用户划分为不同的用户群组。本步骤中的运营商可以是实际的运营商，也可以是虚拟运营商。在用户注册时可以选择注册在不同的运营商或虚拟运营商中，从而能够实现将用户按照运营商进行群组划分。 Step 301: Divide the user into different user groups according to the operator to which the user belongs. The operator in this step can be the actual carrier or the virtual carrier. When users register, they can choose to register in different carriers or virtual operators, so that users can be grouped according to operators.

步骤 302, WAP网关获取并保存用户信息和用户群组信息。 Step 302: The WAP gateway acquires and saves user information and user group information.

本步骤中， WAP 网关可以通过维护终端获取用户信息和用户所属的群组信息，或者也可以在用户上线时，通过 GGSN向 WAP网关发送用户信息和用户群组信息，或者也可以为保存用户信息和用户群组信息的第三方软件与 WAP网关建立接口， WAP网关通过所述接口获取用户信息和用户群组信息。 In this step, the WAP gateway can obtain user information and user information through the maintenance terminal. The group information of the genus, or the user information and the user group information may be sent to the WAP gateway through the GGSN when the user goes online, or the third party software that saves the user information and the user group information may also establish an interface with the WAP gateway. The WAP gateway obtains user information and user group information through the interface.

当 WAP网关通过 GGSN接收用户信息和用户群组信息时，可以通过扩展的计费请求开始消息携带用户信息和用户群组信息，从而使 WAP网关在用户上线时接收到相应信息。 When the WAP gateway receives the user information and the user group information through the GGSN, the extended charging request start message carries the user information and the user group information, so that the WAP gateway receives the corresponding information when the user goes online.

本实施例中， WAP 网关获取的用户信息可以包括用户标识，以及与该用户标识对应的该用户所在群组的群组标识和该用户的签约 QoS信息。其中，用户的签约 QoS信息包括该用户与网络最近一次协商成功的 QoS等级和最后一次 QoS协商结果，即协商的 QoS等级以及是否协商成功的状态信息。这里，所述用户与网络的 QoS协商即前述的 WAP网关主动发起的与 MS和无线侧进行的 QoS协商。或者，用户信息还可以进一步包括最后一次协商的日期等信息。 WAP 网关可以利用表格形式保存用户信息，例如表 1即为某用户的用户信息示意。 In this embodiment, the user information acquired by the WAP gateway may include a user identifier, a group identifier of the group in which the user is located corresponding to the user identifier, and subscription QoS information of the user. The subscription QoS information of the user includes the QoS level and the last QoS negotiation result that the user successfully negotiated with the network, that is, the negotiated QoS level and the status information of whether the negotiation is successful. Here, the QoS negotiation between the user and the network is the QoS negotiation initiated by the WAP gateway and the MS and the wireless side. Alternatively, the user information may further include information such as the date of the last negotiation. The WAP gateway can save user information in the form of a table. For example, Table 1 indicates the user information of a user.

表 1 Table 1

MSISDN 用户标识（手机号） 8613999999999 MSISDN User ID (Mobile Number) 8613999999999

… … … ... ... ...

本实施例中， WAP 网关获取的用户群组信息包括群组名称、群组标识、签约 QoS范围。其中，签约 QoS范围对该用户群组内的用户 QoS等级进行限制，具体包括签约最高 QoS和签约最低 QoS。或者，用户群组信息还可以进一步包括前传信息码等。 WAP 网关可以利用表格形式保存用户群组信息，例如表 2即为某用户群组的群组信息示意。 In this embodiment, the user group information acquired by the WAP gateway includes a group name, a group identifier, and a contracted QoS range. Wherein, the contracted QoS range is used in the user group The QoS level of the user is limited, including the highest QoS for signing and the lowest QoS for signing. Alternatively, the user group information may further include a preamble information code or the like. The WAP gateway can save the user group information in the form of a table. For example, Table 2 indicates the group information of a certain user group.

表 2 Table 2

在经过上述步骤后，在 WAP网关中保存了用户信息和用户群组信息，并且在该用户信息和用户群组信息中包括 QoS相关信息。接下来，当用户进行 WAP业务访问时，网关可以根据用户信息和用户群组信息中包括的 QoS相关信息发起 QoS协商。例如，可以按照如下步骤继续进行：

After the above steps, the user information and the user group information are saved in the WAP gateway, and the QoS related information is included in the user information and the user group information. Next, when the user performs WAP service access, the gateway may initiate QoS negotiation according to the user information and the QoS related information included in the user group information. For example, you can proceed as follows:

步骤 303 , 用户上线过程中， WAP网关接收 GGSN发送的计费请求开始消息，并提取该消息中包括的用户标识和 QoS信息。 Step 303: During the user going online, the WAP gateway receives the charging request start message sent by the GGSN, and extracts the user identifier and QoS information included in the message.

在用户上线过程 (即 PDP上下文激活过程）中， GGSN会向 WAP 网关发送计费请求开始消息，并在该消息中包括用户标识和用户请求的、且 SGSN与无线侧协商成功的 QoS信息。 In the process of the user going online (that is, the PDP context activation process), the GGSN sends a charging request start message to the WAP gateway, and includes the user identifier and the QoS information requested by the user and negotiated successfully by the SGSN and the wireless side.

步骤 304, WAP网关根据提取的用户标识，在用户信息中查找该用户标识对应的群组标识和签约 QoS信息，再以查找到的群组标识为索引，在用户群组信息中查找该群组标识对应的签约 QoS范围。 Step 304: The WAP gateway searches for the group identifier and the subscription QoS information corresponding to the user identifier in the user information according to the extracted user identifier, and then uses the found group identifier as an index to search for the group in the user group information. Identifies the corresponding contracted QoS range.

本步骤中， WAP 网关根据提取的用户标识，确定对应的用户相关信息，例如确定表 1中保存的为该用户信息，从而从该表 1中找到群组标识和签约 QoS信息。然后依据找到的群组标识确定该群组的相关信息，例如确定表 2中保存的为该用户群组信息，从而从该表 2 中找到签约 QoS范围。 In this step, the WAP gateway determines the corresponding user phase according to the extracted user identifier. The information, for example, determines that the user information is saved in Table 1, so that the group identification and the contracted QoS information are found from the table 1. Then, the related information of the group is determined according to the found group identifier, for example, the user group information saved in the table 2 is determined, so that the contracted QoS range is found from the table 2.

步骤 305 , WAP网关判断从 GGSN接收的请求中携带的 QoS信息和查找到的该用户的签约 QoS信息是否匹配，并判断请求中携带的 QoS信息是否符合签约 QoS范围，若两种 QoS信息匹配且符合签约 QoS范围，则执行步骤 306, 否则，执行步骤 307。 Step 305: The WAP gateway determines whether the QoS information carried in the request received from the GGSN matches the found subscription QoS information of the user, and determines whether the QoS information carried in the request meets the contracted QoS range, if the two QoS information matches If the QoS scope is met, go to step 306. Otherwise, go to step 307.

本步骤中，根据预先设置的匹配策略，判断两种 QoS信息是否匹配。 In this step, according to a preset matching policy, it is determined whether the two QoS information matches.

具体地，一种判定方式可以为：在用户的签约 QoS信息中包括最后一次协商结果，如果此次请求的 QoS等级等于或高于最后一次协商失败的 QoS等级，则判定不匹配。例如，在用户的签约 QoS信息中记录的最后一次协商结果为：协商 QoS等级为 3 , 协商结果为失败；如果 WAP网关接收消息中携带的 QoS信息为： QoS等级为 3或高于 3 , 那么则判定该请求的 QoS信息与保存的签约 QoS信息不匹配。 Specifically, a determining manner may be: including the last negotiation result in the subscription QoS information of the user, and if the QoS level of the request is equal to or higher than the QoS level of the last negotiation failure, determining that the matching is not performed. For example, the last negotiation result recorded in the user's subscription QoS information is: Negotiation QoS level is 3, negotiation result is failure; If the QoS information carried in the WAP gateway receiving message is: QoS level is 3 or higher, then Then, it is determined that the requested QoS information does not match the saved subscription QoS information.

或者又一种判定方式可以为： WAP网关规定 QoS等级的协商需要逐级进行，不能跳级，那么如果 WAP网关接收的此次请求的 QoS 等级高于最近一次协商成功的 QoS等级一级以上，则判定不匹配。例如，用户签约 QoS信息中记录的最近一次协商成功的 QoS等级为 3 , 如果 WAP网关接收消息所携带的 QoS信息中 QoS等级大于 4, 那么判定该请求的 QoS信息与保存的签约 QoS信息不匹配。 Alternatively, the determining manner may be: the WAP gateway specifies that the QoS level negotiation needs to be performed step by step, and cannot be skipped. If the QoS level of the request received by the WAP gateway is higher than the QoS level of the last successful negotiation, then The decision does not match. For example, the QoS level of the last successful negotiation recorded in the user subscription QoS information is 3, and if the QoS level of the QoS information carried by the WAP gateway receiving message is greater than 4, it is determined that the requested QoS information does not match the saved subscription QoS information. .

在判断携带的 QoS信息是否符合签约 QoS范围时，若携带的 QoS 信息中的 QoS 等级小于等于签约最高 QoS、且大于等于签约最低 QoS, 则判定符合 QoS范围，否则判定不符合 QoS范围。 When determining whether the carried QoS information conforms to the contracted QoS range, if the QoS level in the carried QoS information is less than or equal to the highest QoS of the subscription, and is greater than or equal to the lowest QoS of the subscription, the QoS range is determined, otherwise the QoS range is determined to be non-compliant.

当上述两个判断条件均满足时，执行步骤 306, 当上述两个判断条件任一未满足时，执行步骤 307。 When the above two determination conditions are satisfied, step 306 is performed, and when any of the above two determination conditions is not satisfied, step 307 is performed.

步骤 306, 利用该请求的 QoS信息更新该用户的签约 QoS信息，用户上线成功。 Step 306: Update the subscription QoS information of the user by using the requested QoS information. The user went online successfully.

本步骤中，将该请求的 QoS信息保存为新的最近一次协商成功的 QoS信息。 In this step, the QoS information of the request is saved as the new QoS information of the last successful negotiation.

步骤 307 , WAP网关指定一个 QoS等级，并以该 QoS等级主动发起 QoS重协商过程。 Step 307: The WAP gateway specifies a QoS level, and actively initiates a QoS renegotiation process by using the QoS class.

本步骤中， WAP网关指定 QoS等级时，根据接收信息中携带的 QoS信息、该用户所属群组中的签约 QoS范围、该用户最近一次协商成功的 QoS等级和最后一次协商结果进行。 In this step, when the WAP gateway specifies the QoS level, it is performed according to the QoS information carried in the received information, the contracted QoS range in the group to which the user belongs, the QoS level of the user's latest successful negotiation, and the last negotiation result.

具体地，当需要进行 QoS的逐级协商时， WAP网关指定的 QoS 等级为，相比于最近一次协商成功的 QoS等级高出一级的 QoS等级。进一步地，指定的 QoS等级在签约 QoS范围内，即大于等于签约最高 QoS且小于等于签约最低 QoS。 Specifically, when a gradual negotiation of QoS is required, the QoS level specified by the WAP gateway is higher than the QoS level of the last successful negotiation by one level. Further, the specified QoS level is within the contracted QoS range, that is, greater than or equal to the highest QoS of the subscription and less than or equal to the lowest QoS of the subscription.

WAP 网关发起 QoS重协商的方式可以为：向 GGSN请求进行 QoS重协商，并携带指定的 QoS等级、协商原因和 PDP地址。具体请求方式可以通过向 GGSN发送一个修改 QoS请求消息 Modify Qos Request, 在该消息中包括指定的 QoS等级、协商原因和 PDP地址。其中， Modify Qos Request的定义可以如表 3所示。 The WAP gateway initiates QoS renegotiation in the following manner: The GGSN is requested to perform QoS renegotiation, and carries the specified QoS class, negotiation reason, and PDP address. The specific request mode may be performed by sending a Modify QoS Request message Modify Qos Request to the GGSN, including the specified QoS class, negotiation reason, and PDP address. The definition of Modify Qos Request can be as shown in Table 3.

表 3 table 3

步骤 308, GGSN接收 WAP网关发送的请求后，根据请求中携带的指定的 QoS等级和 PDP地址，向 SGSN请求更新 PDP上下文，并携带该指定的 QoS等级和 PDP地址。本步骤中， GGSN向 SGSN请求更新 PDP上下文的方式可以为： GGSN向 SGSN发送修改 PDP上下文请求消息 Update PDP Context Request, 并在该消息中携带指定的 QoS等级和 PDP地址等信息。

Step 308: After receiving the request sent by the WAP gateway, the GGSN requests the SGSN to update the PDP context according to the specified QoS class and the PDP address carried in the request, and carries the specified QoS class and PDP address. In this step, the GGSN may request the SGSN to update the PDP context. The GGSN sends a Modify PDP Context Request message to the SGSN, and carries the specified QoS class and PDP address information.

步骤 309, SGSN根据 PDP地址确定要更新的 PDP上下文，向无线侧进行 QoS协商，协商的 QoS为指定的 QoS等级，协商成功后执行步骤 310。 Step 309: The SGSN determines the PDP context to be updated according to the PDP address, and performs QoS negotiation to the radio side. The negotiated QoS is a specified QoS level. After the negotiation succeeds, step 310 is performed.

步骤 310, SGSN向 MS请求修改 PDP上下文，并携带 PDP地址和指定的 QoS等级，询问 MS是否接受将 QoS等级修改为指定的 QoS 等级。 Step 310: The SGSN requests the MS to modify the PDP context, and carries the PDP address and the specified QoS level to query whether the MS accepts to modify the QoS level to the specified QoS level.

本步骤中， SGSN向 MS请求修改 PDP上下文的方式为： SGSN 向 MS发送修改 PDP上下文请求消息 Modify PDP Context Request, 并在该消息中携带 PDP地址和指定的 QoS等级。 In this step, the SGSN requests the MS to modify the PDP context in the following manner: The SGSN sends a Modify PDP Context Request message to the MS, and carries the PDP address and the specified QoS level in the message.

步骤 311 , MS判断是否接受指定的 QoS等级，若接受，则执行步骤 312, 否则执行步骤 315。 Step 311: The MS determines whether to accept the specified QoS level. If yes, go to step 312, otherwise go to step 315.

步骤 312, MS向 SGSN返回协商成功的信息，无线侧进行 RAB 重新指配。 Step 312: The MS returns the information of the negotiation success to the SGSN, and the radio side performs the RAB reassignment.

本步骤中， MS向 SGSN返回协商成功信息的方式可以为： MS 向 SGSN发送 PDP上下文修改接受消息 Modify PDP Context Accept。 In this step, the manner in which the MS returns the negotiation success information to the SGSN may be: The MS sends a PDP context modification accept message Modify PDP Context Accept to the SGSN.

步骤 313 , SGSN将协商成功的信息发送给 GGSN。 Step 313: The SGSN sends the information about the negotiation success to the GGSN.

本步骤中， SGSN将协商成功的信息发送给 GGSN的方式可以为： SGSN向 GGSN发送更新 PDP上下文响应消息 Update PDP Context Response, 并携带协商成功的 QoS等级。 In this step, the manner in which the SGSN sends the negotiation success information to the GGSN may be: The SGSN sends an update PDP context response message Update PDP Context Response to the GGSN, and carries the negotiated QoS level.

步骤 314, GGSN将协商成功的信息发送给 WAP网关，并携带成功协商的 QoS信息， WAP网关更新用户信息。 Step 314: The GGSN sends the successfully negotiated information to the WAP gateway, and carries the successfully negotiated QoS information, and the WAP gateway updates the user information.

本步骤中， GGSN将协商成功的信息发送给 WAP网关的方式可以为： GGSN 向 WAP 网关返回修改 QoS 响应消息 Modify Qos Response, 并携带成功与否标志。其中， Modify Qos Response的定义可以如表 4所示。表 4 In this step, the manner in which the GGSN sends the negotiation success information to the WAP gateway may be: The GGSN returns a modified QoS response message Modify Qos Response to the WAP gateway, and carries a success or failure flag. The definition of Modify Qos Response can be as shown in Table 4. Table 4

WAP网关接收 GGSN发送的协商成功信息，利用携带的成功协商的 QoS信息更新自身保存的用户的签约 QoS信息，用户上线成功。自此之后， WAP网关按照该用户签约 QoS信息中的最近一次协商成功的 QoS等级，为用户提供不同优先级的接入服务和带宽服务等，例如，在 WAP网关负荷较重时，优先为最近一次协商成功的 QoS等级较高的用户提供接入服务；或者，为 QoS等级较高的用户分配较高的带宽资源等。 The WAP gateway receives the negotiation success information sent by the GGSN, and updates the subscribed QoS information of the user saved by using the successfully negotiated QoS information, and the user goes online successfully. After that, the WAP gateway provides users with different priority access services and bandwidth services according to the QoS level of the last successful negotiation in the QoS information of the user. For example, when the WAP gateway is heavily loaded, the priority is the most recent. A user with a higher QoS level is negotiated to provide access services; or a higher bandwidth resource is allocated to users with higher QoS levels.

步骤 315 ,终端发起 PDP去激活过程，向 SGSN发送去激活 PDP 上下文请求消息 Deactivate PDP Context Request。 Step 315: The terminal initiates a PDP deactivation process, and sends a deactivate PDP context request message Deactivate PDP Context Request to the SGSN.

步骤 316, SGSN收到 MS去激活请求，向 GGSN发送删除 PDP 上下文响应消息 Delete PDP Context Response„ Step 316: The SGSN receives the MS deactivation request, and sends a delete PDP context response message to the GGSN. Delete PDP Context Response„

步骤 317 , GGSN向 WAP网关发送修改 QoS响应消息 Modify Qos Response, 并携带失败原因（如： Qos 被拒绝）、状态标志位 Status 为失败， WAP网关根据接收的 Modify Qos Response, 更新用户的签约 QoS信息；同时向 SGSN发送删除 PDP上下文响应消息 Delete PDP Context Response。 Step 317: The GGSN sends a modified QoS response message Modify Qos Response to the WAP gateway, and carries the failure reason (eg, Qos is rejected), the status flag bit Status is failed, and the WAP gateway updates the user's subscription QoS information according to the received Modify Qos Response. At the same time, the Delete PDP Context Response message Delete PDP Context Response is sent to the SGSN.

本步骤中， WAP网关接收 Modify Qos Response后，在用户的签约 QoS信息中更新最后一次协商 QoS结果。 In this step, after receiving the Modify Qos Response, the WAP gateway updates the last negotiated QoS result in the user's subscription QoS information.

步骤 318, SGSN收到 Delete PDP Context Response后，向 MS 发送去激活 PDP上下文接受应答消息 Deactivate PDP Context Accept, 用户此次上线失败。至此，用户上线并由 WAP网关主动进行 QoS重协商的流程结束。其中，步骤 307 ~ 318为 WAP网关主动进行 QoS重协商的流程，该 QoS重协商可能成功，也可能失败，根据协商结果的不同，在 MS、 SGSN、 GGSN和 WAP网关间交互的信令也有所差异。图 4和图 5 分别示出了主动协商 QoS成功的信令流程和主动协商 QoS失败的信令流程。 Step 318: After receiving the Delete PDP Context Response, the SGSN sends a Deactivate PDP Context Accept message to the MS, and the user fails to go online. At this point, the process of the user going online and actively performing QoS renegotiation by the WAP gateway ends. Steps 307 ~ 318 are the processes for the QoS re-negotiation of the WAP gateway. The QoS re-negotiation may be successful or may fail. According to the negotiation result, the signaling between the MS, the SGSN, the GGSN, and the WAP gateway is also different. difference. Figure 4 and Figure 5 show the signaling flow for actively negotiating QoS and the signaling flow for actively negotiating QoS failure.

若上述用户上线过程中，用户上线成功，则用户可以通过 WAP 网关向 SP进行服务访问，其中，进行服务访问的过程不再在图 3中示出，具体可以通过以下步骤进行： If the user is online, the user can access the SP through the WAP gateway. The process of accessing the service is no longer shown in Figure 3. Specifically, the following steps can be performed:

步骤 319, 用户向 WAP网关发送用户请求，根据该用户的最近一次协商成功的 QoS等级为用户提供接入服务。 Step 319: The user sends a user request to the WAP gateway, and provides an access service for the user according to the QoS level of the user's last successful negotiation.

步骤 320 , WAP网关根据用户请求提取用户标识，并查找该用户标识对应的群组标识，在转发用户请求给 SP时，携带查找到的群组标识。 Step 320: The WAP gateway extracts the user identifier according to the user request, and searches for the group identifier corresponding to the user identifier, and carries the found group identifier when forwarding the user request to the SP.

步骤 321 , SP根据预先设置的群组标识与服务内容间的对应关系以及接收的群组标识 , 确定对应的服务内容，并响应给 WAP网关 , WAP网关处理该响应内容后返回给 MS。 Step 321: The SP determines the corresponding service content according to the correspondence between the preset group identifier and the service content and the received group identifier, and responds to the WAP gateway, and the WAP gateway processes the response content and returns the response to the MS.

本步骤中， SP 中预先为不同的用户群组对应设置服务内容，该服务内容可以包括显示内容，计费策略等。 In this step, the service content is preset for different user groups in the SP, and the service content may include display content, charging policy, and the like.

在上述流程中，通过在用户信息和用户群组信息中包括 QoS相关信息， WAP网关能够依据 QoS信息为用户在无线侧提供不同等级的接入服务，并且 WAP网关可以主动发起 QoS协商，以动态调整用户的 QoS等级。 WAP网关确定了用户的 QoS等级，也就是确定了为该用户提供服务的优先级，于是可以根据不同用户的 QoS等级，为高 QoS等级的用户提供高优先级的服务，优先接入高优先级的用户，并为高优先级的用户提供更高的带宽，为低 QoS等级低用户提供低优先级的服务，在***资源紧张时，优先强制低优先级的用户下线，以释放***资源，或为低优先级低用户提供有限的带宽等。 In the above process, by including QoS related information in the user information and the user group information, the WAP gateway can provide different levels of access services for the user on the wireless side according to the QoS information, and the WAP gateway can initiate QoS negotiation actively to dynamically Adjust the user's QoS level. The WAP gateway determines the QoS level of the user, that is, determines the priority for providing the service to the user, and thus can provide high-priority services for users with high QoS levels according to the QoS levels of different users, and preferentially access the high priority. Users, and provide higher bandwidth for high-priority users, and low-priority services for users with low QoS levels. When system resources are tight, priority is given to lower-priority users to go offline to release system resources. Or provide limited bandwidth for low priority low users.

另外，在上述流程中，步骤 305进行了两个判断，分别为判断请求携带的 QoS信息与保存的 QoS信息是否匹配、以及是否符合 QoS 范围；事实上，也可以只进行其中任意一种判断，在判断结果为是时，执行步骤 306 , 在判断结果为否时，执行步骤 307。 In addition, in the above process, step 305 performs two judgments, respectively, for determination. Whether the carried QoS information matches the saved QoS information and whether the QoS range is met; in fact, only one of the determinations may be performed. When the determination result is yes, step 306 is performed, and when the determination result is no, Go to step 307.

在上述流程中，用户信息和用户群组信息可以随时更新，具体更新的方式与本实施例的步骤 302 中获取用户信息和用户群组信息的方式类似。可以通过维护终端更新，或者可以在用户上线时，通过 GGSN向 WAP网关更新，或者也可以利用与第三方软件的接口进行自动更新。 In the foregoing process, the user information and the user group information may be updated at any time. The specific update manner is similar to the manner in which the user information and the user group information are obtained in step 302 of this embodiment. It can be updated by the maintenance terminal, or it can be updated to the WAP gateway through the GGSN when the user goes online, or it can also be automatically updated by using the interface with the third-party software.

本实施例还提供了一种 WAP网关，可以用于实施上述图 3所示的方法流程。该 WAP网关的具体结构如图 6所示，该 WAP网关是图 2所示 WAP网关的一种具体实施方式。如图 6所示，该 WAP网关具体包括：存储单元 61、处理单元 62、发送单元 63、 QoS协商单元 64和信息更新单元 65。由图 6与图 2的对比可见，本实施例中的 WAP网关相对于图 2所示的 WAP网关进一步增加了 QoS协商单元 64和信息更新单元 65。其中，存储单元 61、处理单元 62和发送单元 63间的结构与功能与图 2所示 WAP网关中的相同。更进一步地，本实施例的 WAP网关中具备进一步增强性的功能和结构。具体地，本实施例中的处理单元 62, 进一步用于 MS进行上下文激活过程中，从 GGSN发送的计费请求开始消息中提取用户标识和携带的 QoS信息，并以该用户标识为索引，在存储单元 61保存的用户信息中查找该用户标识对应的群组标识和该用户的签约 QoS信息，再以查找到的群组标识为索引，在存储单元 61保存的用户群组信息中查找签约 QoS范围，判断从 GGSN发送的消息中提取的 QoS信息与所述签约 QoS信息和签约 QoS范围是否匹配，当不匹配时，根据所述签约 QoS信息和签约 QoS范围指定一个 QoS等级提供给 QoS协商单元 64, 通知 QoS协商单元 64发起 QoS协商。 This embodiment also provides a WAP gateway, which can be used to implement the method flow shown in FIG. 3 above. The specific structure of the WAP gateway is shown in FIG. 6. The WAP gateway is a specific implementation manner of the WAP gateway shown in FIG. 2. As shown in FIG. 6, the WAP gateway specifically includes: a storage unit 61, a processing unit 62, a sending unit 63, a QoS negotiation unit 64, and an information updating unit 65. As can be seen from the comparison between FIG. 6 and FIG. 2, the WAP gateway in this embodiment further adds the QoS negotiation unit 64 and the information update unit 65 with respect to the WAP gateway shown in FIG. 2. The structure and function between the storage unit 61, the processing unit 62, and the transmitting unit 63 are the same as those in the WAP gateway shown in FIG. 2. Further, the WAP gateway of this embodiment has further enhanced functions and structures. Specifically, the processing unit 62 in this embodiment is further configured to: when the MS performs the context activation process, extract the user identifier and the carried QoS information from the charging request start message sent by the GGSN, and use the user identifier as an index. The user information saved by the storage unit 61 searches for the group identifier corresponding to the user identifier and the subscription QoS information of the user, and uses the found group identifier as an index to search for the subscription QoS in the user group information saved by the storage unit 61. a range, determining whether the QoS information extracted from the message sent by the GGSN matches the subscription QoS information and the subscription QoS range, and if not, assigning a QoS class to the QoS negotiation unit according to the subscription QoS information and the contracted QoS range 64. The QoS negotiation unit 64 is notified to initiate QoS negotiation.

QoS协商单元 64, 用于接收所述处理单元 62的协商通知，并根据所述处理单元 62提供的指定的 QoS等级，主动与 GGSN、 SGSN 和 MS就指定的 QoS等级进行 QoS协商。信息更新单元 65 , 用于实时更新存储单元 61中保存的所述用户信息和用户群组信息。 The QoS negotiation unit 64 is configured to receive the negotiation notification of the processing unit 62, and actively perform QoS negotiation with the GGSN, the SGSN, and the MS on the specified QoS level according to the specified QoS level provided by the processing unit 62. The information updating unit 65 is configured to update the user information and the user group information saved in the storage unit 61 in real time.

在实施例一中，将用户划分为不同用户群组时依据用户所属的运营商进行，事实上，也可以按照其他的标准进行划分。下面通过实施例二说明按照 QoS等级划分用户群组时本发明实施例的具体实施方式。 In the first embodiment, the user is divided into different user groups according to the operator to which the user belongs, and in fact, may be divided according to other standards. The following describes the specific implementation manner of the embodiment of the present invention when the user group is divided according to the QoS level by using the second embodiment.

实施例二： Embodiment 2:

图 7为本发明实施例二中实现对 WAP用户提供差异化服务的方法具体流程图。如图 7所示，该方法包括： FIG. 7 is a specific flowchart of a method for implementing a differentiated service for a WAP user according to Embodiment 2 of the present invention. As shown in Figure 7, the method includes:

步骤 701 , 在 WAP网关内部按照用户的 QoS等级将用户划分为不同的用户群组。 Step 701: The user is divided into different user groups according to the QoS level of the user inside the WAP gateway.

本实施例中， WAP 网关中保存的用户信息和用户群组信息与实施例一中的基本相同，区别仅在于，用户群组信息中包括 QoS协商方向。该 QoS协商方向规定该用户群组中在进行 QoS协商时是在最近一次成功协商的 QoS等级的基础上，指示增高 QoS等级还是降低 QoS等级。 In this embodiment, the user information and the user group information saved in the WAP gateway are basically the same as those in the first embodiment, except that the user group information includes the QoS negotiation direction. The QoS negotiation direction specifies that the QoS negotiation in the user group is based on the QoS level of the last successfully negotiated, indicating whether the QoS level is increased or the QoS level is lowered.

在进行用户群组划分时，根据用户信息中最近一次成功协商的 QoS等级划分。例如，可以规定 QoS等级为 1-3、且协商方式为增高的用户属于用户群组 1 , QoS等级为 4-6、且协商方式为增高的用户属于用户群组 2, QoS等级为 1-3、且协商方式为降低的用户属于用户群组 3 , QoS等级为 4-6、且协商方式为降低的用户属于用户群组 4。 When performing user group division, it is divided according to the QoS level of the last successful negotiation in the user information. For example, a user whose QoS class is 1-3 and whose negotiation mode is increased belongs to user group 1, the QoS class is 4-6, and the negotiation mode is increased belongs to user group 2, and the QoS class is 1-3. The user whose negotiation mode is reduced belongs to user group 3, and the user whose QoS class is 4-6 and whose negotiation mode is reduced belongs to user group 4.

步骤 702, 用户上线过程中， WAP网关接收 GGSN发送的计费请求开始消息，并提取该消息中包括的用户标识和 QoS信息。 Step 702: During the user going online, the WAP gateway receives the charging request start message sent by the GGSN, and extracts the user identifier and QoS information included in the message.

本步骤的操作与实施例一的步骤 303相同，这里就不再赘述。步骤 703 , WAP网关根据提取的用户标识，在用户信息中查找该用户标识对应的群组标识和签约 QoS信息，再以查找到的群组标识为索引，在用户群组信息中查找该群组标识对应的签约 QoS 范围和 QoS协商方向。 The operation of this step is the same as that of step 303 of the first embodiment, and details are not described herein again. Step 703: The WAP gateway searches for the group identifier and the contracted QoS information corresponding to the user identifier in the user information according to the extracted user identifier, and then uses the found group identifier as an index to search for the group in the user group information. Identifies the corresponding contracted QoS range and QoS negotiation direction.

步骤 704 , WAP网关比较从 GGSN接收的请求中包括的 QoS信息和步骤 703 中查找到的该用户的签约 QoS信息，判断二者是否匹配，若是，则执行步骤 705 , 否则，执行步骤 706〜步骤 707。 Step 704: The WAP gateway compares the QoS information included in the request received from the GGSN. And checking the subscription QoS information of the user found in step 703, and determining whether the two match, if yes, executing step 705; otherwise, performing steps 706 to 707.

本步骤中，判断两种 QoS信息是否匹配的方式可以与实施例一的步骤 305中的方式相同。或者，也可以进一步考虑 QoS协商方向来进行判断。具体地，如果消息中携带的 QoS信息与最近一次协商成功的 QoS等级间的关系不符合 QoS协商方向，那么判定二者不匹配。 In this step, the manner of determining whether the two types of QoS information match may be the same as the method in step 305 of the first embodiment. Alternatively, the QoS negotiation direction can be further considered to make a judgment. Specifically, if the relationship between the QoS information carried in the message and the QoS level of the last successful negotiation does not conform to the QoS negotiation direction, then the two are not matched.

例如，用户签约 QoS信息中记录的最近一次协商成功的 QoS等级为 3 , 并且该用户所在群组的 QoS协商方向为降低，如果 WAP网关接收的消息所携带的 QoS信息中 QoS等级大于 3 , 那么判定该请求的 QoS信息与保存的签约 QoS信息不匹配。 For example, the QoS level of the last successful negotiation recorded in the user's subscription QoS information is 3, and the QoS negotiation direction of the group in which the user is located is reduced. If the QoS level of the QoS information carried by the message received by the WAP gateway is greater than 3, then It is determined that the requested QoS information does not match the saved subscription QoS information.

这里，之所以会出现 QoS等级降低的协商方向是考虑到，部分用户信用度较低时，需要将该用户的 QoS等级降低的情况。 Here, the reason why the negotiation direction in which the QoS level is lowered is that the QoS level of the user needs to be lowered when the credit level of some users is low.

当然，与前述实施例一的情况类似，本步骤也可以只进行上述两个判断中的一个，在相应的判断结果为是时，执行步骤 705 , 在相应的判断结果为否时，执行步骤 706〜步骤 707。 Of course, similar to the foregoing embodiment 1, the step may also perform only one of the above two determinations. When the corresponding determination result is yes, step 705 is performed, and when the corresponding determination result is no, step 706 is performed. ~ Step 707.

步骤 705 , 利用该请求的 QoS信息更新该用户的签约 QoS信息，用户上线成功。 Step 705: Update the subscription QoS information of the user by using the requested QoS information, and the user is successfully online.

本步骤中，在更新用户的签约 QoS信息后，还要随时监视用户的最近一次协商成功的 QoS等级，根据该 QoS等级确定用户所属用户群组是否需要改变，如果需要， WAP 网关自动根据用户的最近一次协商成功的 QoS等级调整用户所属的用户群组，具体可以调整用户信息中用户标识所对应的群组标识。 In this step, after updating the subscription QoS information of the user, the QoS level of the user's last successful negotiation is also monitored at any time, and according to the QoS level, it is determined whether the user group to which the user belongs needs to be changed, and if necessary, the WAP gateway automatically according to the user's The QoS level of the last successful negotiation adjusts the user group to which the user belongs, and the group identifier corresponding to the user identifier in the user information may be specifically adjusted.

步骤 706 , WAP网关指定一个 QoS等级。 Step 706: The WAP gateway specifies a QoS level.

本步骤中指定 QoS等级的方式与实施例一的步骤 307类似，区别在于，在指定 QoS等级时，进一步根据 QoS协商方向进行指定，指定的 QoS 等级与该用户的最近一次协商成功的 QoS 等级间符合 QoS协商方向。例如，如果用户的最近一次协商成功的 QoS等级为 3 , QoS协商方向为降低，那么指定的 QoS等级需要小于 3。步骤 707 , WAP网关以该指定的 QoS等级主动发起 QoS重协商过程，与 GGSN、 SGSN和 MS共同完成 QoS重协商过程。 The manner of specifying the QoS class in this step is similar to the step 307 of the first embodiment. The difference is that when the QoS class is specified, the QoS negotiation direction is further specified, and the specified QoS class is compared with the QoS level of the last successful negotiation of the user. Compliance with QoS negotiation direction. For example, if the user's last successful negotiation has a QoS level of 3 and the QoS negotiation direction is reduced, then the specified QoS level needs to be less than 3. Step 707: The WAP gateway actively initiates a QoS renegotiation process with the specified QoS level, and completes the QoS renegotiation process together with the GGSN, the SGSN, and the MS.

本步骤中进行的重协商流程与实施例一的步骤 307 ~ 318所述的重协商流程相同，这里就不再赘述。 The renegotiation process performed in this step is the same as the renegotiation process described in steps 307 to 318 of the first embodiment, and details are not described herein again.

若用户上线成功，则用户可以通过 WAP网关向 SP进行服务访问，具体操作与实施例一的步骤 319 ~ 321 中的相同，这里就不再赘述。 If the user is successfully online, the user can access the SP through the WAP gateway. The specific operations are the same as those in the steps 319 to 321 of the first embodiment, and are not described here.

在上述流程中，根据用户的 QoS等级划分用户群组，并且 WAP 网关能够根据用户的 QoS信息主动发起 QoS协商，以动态调整用户的 QoS等级，进而调整用户所属的用户群组。 In the above process, the user group is divided according to the QoS level of the user, and the WAP gateway can initiate QoS negotiation according to the QoS information of the user to dynamically adjust the QoS level of the user, thereby adjusting the user group to which the user belongs.

与实施例一的情况类似，在上述流程中，用户信息和用户群组信息也可以随时更新，具体更新的方式可以釆用实施例一中所述的通过维护终端更新，或者可以在用户上线时，通过 GGSN向 WAP网关更新，或者也可以如前所述由 WAP网关根据自身保存的用户最近一次协商成功的 QoS信息进行自动更新。 Similar to the case of the first embodiment, in the foregoing process, the user information and the user group information may also be updated at any time. The specific update manner may be updated by using the maintenance terminal as described in the first embodiment, or may be performed when the user goes online. The GGSN is updated to the WAP gateway, or may be automatically updated by the WAP gateway according to the QoS information successfully saved by the user that has been saved last time.

在上述实施例一和实施例二中，分别釆用了两种划分用户群组的方式，事实上，也可以将两种划分方式结合在一起应用，例如，首先按照用户所属的运营商进行一级用户群组的划分，再在该运营商的用户群组内部按照 QoS等级进行二级用户群组划分。 In the first embodiment and the second embodiment, two types of user groups are respectively used. In fact, the two types of divisions may be applied together, for example, first, according to the operator to which the user belongs. The division of the level user group, and then the secondary user group division according to the QoS level within the operator group of the operator.

通过以上的实施方式的描述，本领域的技术人员可以清楚地了解到本发明可以通过硬件实现，也可以可借助软件加必要的通用硬件平台的方式来实现基于这样的理解，本发明的技术方案可以以软件产品的形式体现出来，该软件产品可以存储在一个非易失性存储介质（可以是 CD-ROM, U盘，移动硬盘等）中，包括若干指令用以使得一台计算机设备（可以是个人计算机，服务器，或者网络设备等）执行本发明各个实施例所述的方法。 Through the description of the above embodiments, those skilled in the art can clearly understand that the present invention can be implemented by hardware, or can be implemented by means of software plus necessary general hardware platform, and the technical solution of the present invention.
