移动通讯网络分为电路交换域 ( CS: Circuit Switched Domain )和分组交 换域(PS: Packet Switched Domain ) 两个部分, 其中, 电路域主要承载传统 的基于电路交换的语音业务, 分组域则提供基于包交换的分组业务。 其中, 对 于分组交换域, 出于路由优化, 减少数据传输延时的目的, 引入了拜访地接入 ( LBO: Local breakout ) 的概念, LBO是指用户在拜访地的数据网关分配网 际协议(IP: Internet Protocol )地址, 数据直接从拜访地路由到外部数据网而 不经过拜访地以外的区域。
数据的传输是通过分组数据网络( PDN: Packet Data Network )连接进行 的, 因此用户设备(UE: User Equipment )需要传输数据要发送 PDN连接请 求建立 PDN连接。现有的一种 PDN连接请求的处理方案是这样的: 网络侧接 收请求建立路由优化后的 PDN连接的新的 PDN连接请求,如果发送新的 PDN 连接请求的 UE对应的 PDN网络的接入点名 ( APN: Access Point Name )和 已有的 PDN连接相同, 网络侧就拒绝上述新的 PDN连接请求。
在实现本发明的过程中,发明人发现上述方案至少存在如下缺陷: 在已经 有 PDN连接时,如果接收的新的 PDN连接请求对应的 APN与已有的 PDN连 接的 APN相同,网络侧会拒绝新的 PDN连接请求,从而在路由优化的过程中, 不能为该 APN建立路由优化后的 PDN连接, 更不能为一个 APN同时建立两 个 PDN连接。

具体实施方式
为使本发明的目的、 技术方案、 及优点更加清楚明白, 以下参照附图并举 实施例, 对本发明进一步详细说明。
先介绍本发明实施例提供的路由优化方法,图 1描述了本发明实施例提供 的路由优化方法实施例一的流程, 包括:
步骤 101、接收路由优化请求,该路由优化请求包括网络地址重分配指示; 其中, 该路由优化请求是在 UE与当前网关有第一 PDN连接时发送的。 在 UE的位置发生变化时, 可能当前网关并不是较优的网关, 因此 UE可以发 送路由优化请求进行路由优化, 从而使 UE的业务切换至一个较优的网关; 为 了使网络侧获知需要发起路由优化的 PDN网络的信息, 在路由优化请求中会 携带 PDN网络的标识信息 , 如 APN, 连接承载标识( LBI: Linked Bearer Id ) 等; 该 PDN网络的标识信息可以预先配置在 UE上, 也可以由网络侧提供, 例如可以由网络侧的移动性管理实体( MME: Mobility Management Entity )提 供; 如当网络侧判断 UE进入需要路由优化的区域时, 网络侧把需要发起路由 优化的 PDN网络标识信息 APN或 LBI提供给 UE;
网关是接入数据网络的网关,在不同的网络中会有不同, 例如在***架构 演进( SAE: system architecture evolution )网络中,该网关可以是 UE接入 PDN 网络的接入网关, 如分组数据网关 (PGW: PDN Gateway )等;
UE可以在移动性管理实体的触发下发送路由优化请求, 如果 MME判断
UE的位置发生了变化, 且 UE的当前 PGW已经不是最适合的时, MME可以 通知 UE发起路由优化 ,具体可以在 UE发起跟踪区更新( TAU: Tracking Area Update )的跟踪区更新接受( TAU Accept )消息中通知 UE; UE可以根据上述 来自 MME的通知, 确定是否、 以及何时发起路由优化请求, 如立即, 或者稍 后, 或者不发起路由优化请求等;
当然, UE还可以在用户的指示、业务应用的指示等情况下发起路由优化, 从而发送路由优化请求;
UE发送的路由优化请求可以是 PDN连接( PDN Connectivity )请求等消 息; 该请求中携带的网络地址重分配指示表示 UE需要发起路由优化, 希望网 络侧重新分配一个网络地址; 路由优化请求中包括 PDN网络的标识信息, 如 APN, LBI等, 用于指示 UE希望对哪个 PDN网络发起路由优化; 其中, 在 路由优化请求是 PDN Connectivity请求或其它现有的请求消息时, 网络地址重 分配指示可以是该请求中的一个单独的参数, 例如可以通过 " optimize indication"指示; 还可以通过对该请求中的一个现有参数进行扩展, 从而携带 网络地址重分配指示; 可选的, UE发送的路由优化请求还可以携带与 UE对 应的接入点名 (APN: Access Point Name ); 此时, 就可以通过结构化 APN的 方法携带网络地址重分配指示, 比如说 APN是 "cmims" , 在发起路由优化的 情况下, UE可以在路由优化请求中将 APN设置为 "cmims.opt" , 表示用户设 备需要发起路由优化, 希望网络重新分配一个 IP地址; 当然, UE发送的路由优化请求也可以一个新的请求消息,如第二 PDN连 接( Second PDN Connectivity )请求等消息, 在消息中携带 PDN网络的标识信 息, 如 APN, LBI等; 由于是一个新的请求消息, 因此该消息自身就可以作为 重定向指示, 而不需要在请求消息中携带额外的信息;
步骤 102、 在网络地址重分配指示触发下触发建立 UE与新的网关之间的 第二 PDN连接;
第一 PDN连接和第二 PDN连接是同一 PDN网络中的,因此第一 PDN连 接对应相同的接入点, 即具有相同的 APN。
建立第二 PDN连接时, 新的网关会为 UE分配新的网络地址; 以网关为 PGW为例, 本发明实施例提供的一种建立第二 PDN连接的流程如下:
在网络地址重分配指示触发下 MME为 UE选择新的网关, 在选定了新的 网关后, MME发送触发消息, 该触发消息会包括选择的新的网关的信息; 接 入控制实体接收该触发消息,从而获知新的网关的信息, 进而向新的网关发送 连接建立请求; 新的网关接收所述连接建立请求后, 建立第二 PDN连接。 其 中, 接入控制实体在不同的网络中是不同的, 例如可以是服务网关 (SGW: Serving Gateway ),演进的分组数据网关( ePDG: evolved Packet Data Gateway ), 接入服务网络网关 (ASN-GW: Access Service Network-Gateway ), 服务通用 分组无线业务支持点 (SGSN: Serving GPRS Support Node)等。
在接入控制实体为 SGW时, 本发明实施例提供的建立第二 PDN连接的 过程可以如下: MME根据网络地址重分配指示为 UE选择新的 PGW,向 SGW 发送 PDN连接建立请求作为触发消息,该 PDN连接建立请求携带选择的新的 PGW的信息; SGW接收 PDN连接建立请求后, 向新的 PGW发送连接建立 请求; 新的 PGW接收 SGW发送的连接建立请求后, 建立第二 PDN连接。 在 建立第二 PDN连接时, 网络侧会为 UE分配新的网络地址, 具体可以由网络 中的 PGW 或者动态主机分配协议 ( DHCP: Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol )服务器根据 UE的请求, 为 UE分配新的网络地址, 并将新的网络地 址发送给 UE。
其中, 在建立了第二 PDN连接后, 可以直接释放第一 PDN连接, 也可以 在策略的触发下释放第一 PDN连接; 为了保证 UE在路由优化的过程中业务 的连续性, 本发明实施例优选在策略的触发下释放第一 PDN连接。 从上可知, 本实施例在接收到包括网络地址重分配指示的路由优化请求 后, 可以在网络地址重分配指示的触发下触发建立第二 PDN连接, 从而在路 由优化的过程中, 建立路由优化后的第二 PDN连接, 并且在建立第二 PDN连 接时,可以保留已有的第一 PDN连接,因此,可以为一个接入点建立两个 PDN 连接, 从而使 UE的业务可以通过第二 PDN连接切换至新的网关, 在路由优 化过程中, 保证业务的连续性。
进一步, 步骤 102之前可以进一步包括如下步骤:
判断发送路由优化请求的 UE是否有 LBO的权限; 只有在 UE具有 LBO 的权限时, 才进行步骤 102; 反之, 则拒绝 UE的路由优化请求; 或者
判断是否存在新的网关比当前网关更优;只有存在新的网关比当前网关更 优时, 才执行步骤 102; 反之, 拒绝 UE的路由优化请求; 其中, 更优是指通 过更优的网关可以使 UE获得更好的服务, 例如一个 UE到了拜访地, 相对归 属地的网关来说,拜访地的网关要比归属地的网关更优, 此时通过拜访地的网 关比通过归属地的网关接入网络可以使 UE获得更好的服务。
在建立了第二 PDN后,可以通过第二 PDN连接将 UE的业务切换至新的 网关。
由于在步骤 102中, 新的网关为 UE分配了第二 PDN连接的新的网络地 址, 因此 UE可以根据新的网络地址将业务切换至新的网关; 具体的, 以 UE 处于 IP多媒体核心网络子***( IMS: IP Multimedia Core Network Subsystem ) 网络、 网关为 PGW为例, UE可以在 IMS会话中向网络侧发送会话初始协议 ( SIP: Session Initiation Protocol ) 消息的重邀请 ( relNVITE )请求, 在会话 描述协议( SDP: Session Description Protocol )信息中携带 IMS会话的媒体端 口,将 IMS会话的媒体端口从当前 PGW分配的网络地址修改为新的网络地址, 从而将业务从当前 PGW切换到新的 PGW。
在 UE将业务切换至新的 PGW后, 为了降低 UE对***资源的占用, 可 以释放 UE的第一 PDN连接 , 从而节省***资源。
第一 PDN连接的释放可以由 UE发起;在 UE没有释放第一 PDN连接时, 网络侧根据本地策略, 可以检查第一 PDN连接是否释放, 如果未释放, 释放 第一 PDN 连接, 具体可以由 SGW, PGW, 策略控制和计费规则功能实体 ( PCRF: Policy Control and Charging Rules Function )等释放发起单元发起释 放第一 PDN 连接; 其中, PCRF 可以是家乡策略控制和计费规则功能实体 ( hPCRF )或拜访地策略控制和计费规则功能实体(vPCRF )。
UE发起释放第一 PDN连接和 hPCRF发起释放第一 PDN连接的情况, 包括: 步骤 200、 UE确定发起路由优化;
此时 UE与当前 PGW ( old PGW )之间已经有第一 PDN连接; 此时 UE 的网络地址可以是第一网际协议地址(IP addressl ); 其中, 第一 PDN连接可 以釆用如下流程建立: UE向 old PGW发起 PDN连接请求, 获得 IP Addressl , 同时, old PGW可以将上述信息通过当前 vPCRF ( old vPCRF )上报给 hPCRF, 使 hPCRF可以获知建立了第一 PDN; 此时, UE可以使用 IP Addressl实现业 务, 如 IMS, 即时消息等;
步骤 201、 UE向 MME发送分组数据网络连接消息作为路由优化请求, 该消息中携带有重分配指示;
步骤 202、 MME向接入控制实体 SGW发送创建缺省承载( Create Default Bearer )请求消息, 该消息中也携带上述重分配指示; 其中, 创建缺省承载请 求消息作为触发消息;
MME收到 UE发起的 PDN Connectivity请求,可以判断 UE是否具有 LBO 的权限, 如果没有, 拒绝上述路由优化请求;
进一步, MME还可以判断是否存在新的网关比 old PGW更优, 如果否, 拒绝路由优化请求。
在判断存在新的网关比 old PGW更优时, MME为该 APN选择一个比 old PGW更优的新的分组数据网关 (new PGW ) , 向 SGW发起 PDN连接请求, PDN连接请求包括 new PGW的信息; 在本实施例中, 该 PDN连接请求可以 为创建缺省承载请求; 但是本发明实施例并不限定该 PDN连接请求只能为创 建缺省承载请求;
步骤 203、 SGW向选择的 new PGW发送创建缺省承载消息; SGW收到上述创建缺省承载请求后, 向 new PGW发送 PDN连接请求; 根据不同的接口协议, PDN连接请求可以有不同; 例如 SGW和 new PGW之 间的接口协议为通用分组无线业务隧道协议( GTP: GPRS Tunneling Protocol ), SGW发送本是实例中的创建缺省承载给 PGW, 如果 SGW和 PGW之间的接 口协议为代理移动 IP ( PMIP: Proxy Mobile IP )协议, SGW可以发送代理绑 定更新 ( Proxy Binding Update ) 消息给 PGW;
步骤 204、 new PGW为 UE分配新的网络地址,假设新的网络地址为第二 网际协议地址( IP address2 );向新的拜访地策略控制和计费规则功能实体( New vPCRF )发送通知消息, 该通知消息可以是分组数据网络连接建立通知 (IP Session Established ) 消息, 表示为 UE建立了第二 PDN连接;
其中, PGW向 new vPCRF发送通知消息时, 如果 SGW和 new PGW之 间的接口协议为 GTP,那么 PGW发送 PDN连接建立通知到 vPCRF;如果 SGW 和 PGW之间的接口协议为 PMIP协议, 则可以由 SGW向 new vPCRF发送通 知消息, 该通知消息可以是 PDN连接建立通知到 vPCRF; 其中, PCRF可以 下发相应的策略和计费控制 (PCC )规则;

步骤 208、 MME向 UE发送包括第二网际协议地址的消息;
步骤 209、 UE接收到包括 IP address2的消息后, 可以获知新的 PDN连接 已经建立,新的网络地址为 IP address2;从而将业务切换到新的分组数据网络; UE处于不同的***时,业务切换的流程根据不同的***会有不同;以 IMS ***为例, UE可以在 IMS会话中向 IMS网络发送 relNVITE请求, 在 SDP 信息中携带 IMS会话的媒体端口,将 IMS会话的媒体端口从 IPAddressl修改 为 IP Address2 , 从而将业务从 old PGW切换到 new PGW;
步骤 210、 UE发起释放第一分组数据网络连接; UE可以在 PDN连接释放 ( PDN Disconnect )请求中携带连接承载标识 ( LBI: Linked Bearer Id )信息, 以指示释放与 old PGW之间的 PDN连接; 进一步, 如果步骤 210没有执行, 即 UE没有发起释放第一 PDN连接, 可以继续执行步骤 211~214释放第一 PDN连接;
步骤 211、 hPCRF进行策略决策;
在本地策略的触发下, hPCRF进行策略决策; 假设本地策略是时间策略, 在一段时间后 , 比如 12小时, hPCRF检查到本地对于 UE的 APN "cmims"依 然有两个 PDN连接 , 此时 hPCRF可以进行相应的操作; 例如可以下发策略命 令到 old PGW, 触发 old PGW删除相应的策略和计费控制规则;
步骤 212、 hPCRF向 old PGW发送删除策略和计费控制规则的消息; 步骤 213、 old PGW向 SGW发送删除承载请求( Delete Bearer Request ) 消息;
步骤 214、 SGW释放相应的资源, 向 old PGW发送删除承载响应(Delete Bearer Response ) 消息; 完成第一 PDN连接的释放。
从上可知,本实施例由 UE发送包括网络地址重分配指示的路由优化请求, 从而使网络侧为 UE建立路由优化后的第二 PDN连接, 并且在建立第二 PDN 连接时, 保留已有的第一 PDN连接, 从而在使用新的数据网关提供服务时, 可以保留原来的数据网关和地址, 因此, 在路由优化的过程中, 可以保证业务 的连续性; 同时, 在 UE将业务切换至新的数据网关后, 可以释放第一 PDN 连接, 从而释放 UE占用的***资源, 提高***资源的利用率。

进一步, 本发明实施例提供的实现路由优化的***中的移动性管理实体, 可以在接收了路由优化请求后,对是否存在网关比当前网关更优进行判断; 在 判断新的网关比当前网关更优时才发送触发消息。由于仅在新的网关比当前网 关更优时才发送触发消息建立第二 PDN连接, 从而在需要路由优化时才建立 第二 PDN连接, 使***资源得到有效的利用。 判断是否存在网关比当前网关 更优时, 可以根据 UE所处的位置以及环境等情况确定。
进一步, 本发明实施例提供的实现路由优化的***中的当前网关,还用于 在所述新的网关建立与所述 UE之间的第二 PDN连接后, 释放所述第一 PDN 连接。 由于在建立了第二 PDN连接后, UE已经通过第二 PDN连接将业务切 换至新的网关,从而可以将第一 PDN连接释放,释放第一 PDN连接所占用的 ***资源, 使***资源得到有效利用。 其中, 当前网关在释放第一 PDN连接 时, 可以根据自身策略主动释放; 也可以在其他网络实体发送的触发消息的触 发下被动释放,例如可以在 old vPCRF发送的删除策略和计费控制规则的消息 的触发下释放第一 PDN连接。 施例提供的用户设备实施例的结构, 包括:
