为使本发明实施例的目的、 技术方案和优点更加清楚， 下面将结合本发 明实施例中的附图， 对本发明实施例中的技术方案进行清楚、 完整地描述， 显然， 所描述的实施例是本发明一部分实施例， 而不是全部的实施例。 基于 本发明中的实施例， 本领域普通技术人员在没有作出创造性劳动前提下所获 得的所有其他实施例， 都属于本发明保护的范围。
图 3为本发明无线接入网元信息上报方法第一实施例的流程图， 如图 3 所示， 该无线接入网元信息上报方法包括：
步驟 101、 获取上报策略信息， 所述上报策略信息包括设置的上报内容 和上报条件；
由于上 4艮策略信息可能设置在核心网元中， 核心网元根据业务要求， 设 定无线接入网元所需上报的内容和条件， 或两者之一， 可以通过消息如信令 或用户面隧道的特殊指示告知无线接入网元； 其中， 所述上报条件可以为定 时上报或事件触发上报， 所述事件触发上报包括： 发生承载幹放、 终端离开 当前位置或终端进入空闲态的事件时上报。 所述上报内容包括位置信息如 UE 当前所在的小区或地理位置；上报内容中还可以包括时间信息如 UE处于该位 置的时间、 eNB能支持的最大时延； 上报内容中还可以包括流量信息如 UE已 经发生的流量、 丢弃的流量、 区分业务流的流量信息、 UE所在位置区的流量 信息、 负载情况、 eNB 能支持的最大带宽等与流量相关信息。 上报策略信息 还可以包括用于提出上报内容的无线接入网元信息报告的业务流模板， 如果 网关需要了解业务流级别的信息， 可以将需要无线接入网元进行统计的业务 流模板携带在上报策略信息中发送给无线接入网元， 无线接入网元将经过其 的数据流用业务流模板进行匹配，将匹配成功的内容按照策略要求进行统计。 上述的上报策略信息包括的上报内容和上报条件可以独立或任意组合， 根据 不同的场景， 无线接入网元也可能向核心网元上报的其他内容， 此时上报策 略信息可以相应的增加或减少上报内容的相关信息。
此外， 上报条件和上报内容可以放在同一个信息中， 也可以通过放在不 同类型的信息中， 如信息类型可以至少为请求上" ^位置信息、 无线接入网元 状态信息、 业务信息中的任何一个。 其中， 位置信息至少包括用户所在的小 区信息、 业务区信息或者无线接入网元信息、 以及切换小区或者基站的信息 中的任何一个； 无线网元状态信息至少包括小区、 业务区或者无线接入网元 的拥塞、 流控、 负荷信息中的任何一个； 业务信息至少包括用户的业务的数 据流量信息、 未成功发送的下行数据流量信息、 用户使用业务的时间信息。 用户业务的数据流量信息可以包括用户在某个小区、 业务区域或无线接入网 元中使用某个业务或所有业务产生的数据流量信息； 用户使用业务的时间信 息可以包括用户使用业务时进入或离开某个小区、 业务区域或无线接入网元 的时间点信息。
上报条件和上报内容可以还可以通过不同的消息发送。 上报策略信息也 可能设置在无线接入网元中， 不需要由核心网元下发。 因此获取上报策略信 息的方法包括：
从无线接入网元的本地获取所述上"^策略信息； 或
获取控制网元发送的所述上报策略信息。
其中， 核心网元可以包括控制设备或网关设备， 不同的无线通信网络中 的无线接入网元、 控制网元和网关设备不同 , 如在 LTE和 SAE网络中， 无线 接入网元可以为演进基站 eNB , 控制网元可以为移动性管理实体匪 E , 网关设 备可以为服务网关 SGW或分组数据网网关 PGW; 在而 TS网络中， 无线接入网 元可以为无线网络控制器 RNC , 控制网元可以为服务通用分组无线业务支持 节点 SGSN, 网关设备可以为网关通用分组无线业务支持节点 GGSN。 其中， 无线接入网元接收控制网元发送的上报策略信息的方法具体可以 包括以下情况：
接收所述控制网元转发的携带所述上报策略信息的承载创建消息， 若所 述控制网元为移动性管理实体， 则所述承载创建消息为初始上下文创建请求 消息； 若所述控制网元为服务通用分组无线业务支持节点， 则所述承载创建 消息为无线接入承载创建请求消息； 或
接收所述控制网元转发的携带所述上报策略信息的接入信息请求消息； 或
接收所述控制网元转发的创建隧道请求消息或注册请求消息， 所述创建 隧道请求消息或注册请求消息中携带用户标识和上报策略信息。
此外， 无线通信网路中， 由于终端位置移动、 业务变化等， 可能引起无 线接入网元或控制网元的切换， 若无线接入网元从原无线接入网元切换到新 无线接入网元， 该无线接入网元信息上报方法中新无线接入网元获取上报策 略信息的方法可以包括以下几种示例：
示例一、 所述新无线接入网元从无线网元间接口接收所述原无线接入网 元发送的所述上报策略信息； 此时， 如果原无线接入网元与新无线接入网元 之间存在无线网元间接口如 Iur和 X2， 则原无线接入网元可以通过接口 Iur 和 X2向新无线接入网元发送上报策略信息。
示例二、 所述原无线接入网元向控制网元发送携带所述上报策略信息的 切换请求消息后， 所述新无线接入网元接收所述控制网元转发的携带所述上 报策略信息的切换请求消息； 此时， 如果原无线接入网元与新无线接入网元 之间不存在无线网元间接口 Iur和 X2 , 无线接入网元可以将上报策略信息携 带在切换请求消息的无线接入网元信息容器 ( transparent conta iner ) 中， 先通过 Iu或 SI接口将该切换请求消息传递给控制网元， 再由控制网元转发 给新无线接入网元。
示例三、 所述新无线接入网元接收所述控制网元发送的携带所述上报策 略信息的请求消息， 所述上报策略信息为所述控制网元保存的上次获取的所 述原无线接入网元的上报策略信息； 此时， 如果控制网元中保存了上次获取 的原无线接入网元的上报策略信息， 控制网元可以将携带上报策略信息的前 转切换请求 ( Forward Relocat ion Reques t ) 消息、 创建隧道请求消息或注 册请求消息等请求消息发送给新无线接入网元。
示例四、 若所述控制网元从原控制网元切换到新控制网元， 则所述新无 线接入网元接收所述新控制网元转发的所述网关设备发送的更新承载响应消 息， 所述更新承载响应消息中携带所述上报策略信息。 此时， 无线接入网元 和控制网元都发生切换， 网关设备可以将携带上报策略信息的更新承载响应 消息通过新控制网元重新下发给无线接入网元， 无线接入网元则可以通过新 控制网元向网关设备返回确认消息 （Acknowledge ) 。
步驟 102、 若满足所述上报条件， 釆用信令根据包含位置信息和对应的 时间信息的上报内容向控制网元上报无线接入网元信息报告或采用隧道根据 包含位置信息的上报内容向网关设备上报无线接入网元信息报告。
无线接入网元在获知上报策略信息后， 可以进行相应处理， 以下为几种 处理场景：
场景一、假设上报策略信息包括的上报内容为要求上报 UE的当前位置和 该 UE处于此位置的时间， 上艮条件为当 UE进入一个新位置例如小区（ cel l ) 时，无线接入网元可记录 UE进入的该新位置和当前的时间（可以^"确到秒） , 还可以进一步记录 UE离开该位置的时间，然后通过无线接入网元信息报告上 艮给核心网元。
场景二、假设上报策略信息包括的上报内容为要求上报 UE的流量， 上报 条件为定时上报， 则无线接入网元可以按照承载粒度或根据业务流模板等， 获取该 UE对应业务流的流量， 然后在达到定时时间时， 通过无线接入网元信 息报告上报给核心网元。
场景三、假设上报策略信息包括的上报内容为要求上报 UE所在的小区负 荷信息， 则无线接入网元可以记录 UE当前位置的小区负荷信息， 然后在满足 上报条件时通过无线接入网元信息报告上报给核心网元。
其中， 各种场景下的上报内容和上报条件可以自由组合， 当满足上报条 件时如当 UE离开该无线接入网元、 当 UE进入一个新位置的事件发生或要求 立即上报时， 无线接入网元可以根据上报内容确定无线接入网元信息报告中 的具体信息， 如果上报内容中包括位置信息和对应的时间信息， 则无线接入 网元信息报告中可以包括该无线接入网元中的各个终端的位置信息及其在对 应位置的时间信息。 无线接入网元信息报告中的具体信息与上报内容中的信 息相对应， 可以包括位置信息、 时间信息和 /或流量信息等； 本发明实施例中 仅举例说明， 并不限定上报策略信息、 无线接入网元信息报告的具体内容和 组合方式。
核心网元接收到的无线接入网元信息报告后 , 可以提取无线接入网元信 息， 如 UE的位置与时间的关系、 位置与流量的关系、 位置与负荷的关系等； 再将这些信息提供给应用层或其他功能模块， 用于针对位置的计费， 计费流 量核减， 或者用于选择更合适的接入技术。 如核心网元根据 UE的位置信息、 UE进入和离开该位置的时间， 可以建立小区使用率模型， 从而为无线网络规 划提供输入； 核心网元也可以根据位置与流量的关系， 如带宽、 时延、 丢包 率等制定不同小区的流量模型， 进一步细分到业务级别的流量， 还可以针对 业务进行优化， 保证用户的服务质量， 提升客户体验； 核心网元也可以根据 位置与负荷， 了解当前小区、 业务区或无线接入网元是否拥塞， 从而通过提 升服务质量要求等措施， 对重要客户的业务进行优先保证； 核心网元也可以 指示用户切换到非拥塞的小区或选择其他接入技术避免服务质量的降低， 甚 至通过限制、 暂停或终止该小区、 业务区或无线接入网元上的部分或全部用 户使用部分或全部业务的方式来緩解或消除小区、 业务区或无线接入网元的 拥塞状态。
进一步地， 无线接入网元上报无线接入网元信息报告的上报方式可以包 括信令或隧道的方式。 上报方式可以预先在无线接入网元上设置， 也可以为 从无线接入策略信息中获取。 如果上报策略信息包括上报方式， 在具体网络 中也可简化成缺省约定的方式， 如在缺省时使用信令方式或隧道方式上报， 即上报方式是可选的， 无线接入网元根据上报策略信息， 可以通过信令或隧 道等方式将接入网预处理的信息通过无线接入网元信息报告的形式集中上报 给核心网元。 隧道上报方式可以是通过在隧道中传输的数据包头或者数据包 载荷中携带无线接入网元信息的形式。 具体隧道可以是通过通用分组无线服 务（Genera l Packet Radio Service; 简称： GPRS ) 隧道协议用户面 （GPRS Tunnel ing Pro toco l-User p lane; 简称： GTP- U )隧道，也可以是移动 IP ( MIP ) 隧道。 如图 4a所示， 为本发明无线接入网元信息上报方法第一实施例中包括 上报方式的流程图， 在上报策略信息中包括上报方式时， 该无线接入网元信 息上报方法具体可以包括以下步驟：
步驟 201、 无线接入网元获取设置的上报策略信息， 上报策略信息可以 包括上报内容、 上报条件和上报方式， 可以从本地获取或者从核心网元接收 上报策略信息。
步驟 202、 无线接入网元根据上报策略信息协商并选择向核心网元如控 制网元或网关设备上报无线接入网元信息报告的上报方式。
步骤 203、无线接入网元判断是否满足上报条件。如果是则执行步骤 204 , 否则继续执行步骤 203。
步驟 204、 无线接入网元采用选择的上报方式根据上报内容向核心网元 上报无线接入网元信息报告。
步骤 205、 核心网元对接收到的无线接入网元信息报告进行处理。
其中 , 无线接入网元向控制网元或网关设备上报无线接入网元信息报告 的过程可以包括：
方式一、 若所述上报方式为信令， 釆用信令向控制网元发送所述无线接 入网元信息报告； 如采用承载释放信令， 或在终端离开当前位置、 终端进入 空闲态后采用单独信令向控制网元发送包括位置信息和对应的时间信息的无 线接入网元信息报告。 如图 4b所示， 为本发明无线接入网元信息上报方法第 一实施例中釆用信令上报的一种信令流程图， 当无线接入网元与控制网元的 连接断开时， 具体可以包括以下步骤：
步骤 11、 无线接入网元 eNB向控制网元匪 E发送携带无线接入网元信息 报告 （Acces s Informa t ion Repor t ) 的终端上下文释放请求（ SI- AP: SI UE Context Re lease Reques t ) 消息。
步骤 11、 控制网元 MME向网关设备 SGW发送携带无线接入网元信息报告 的更新承载请求 ( Upda te Bearer Reques t ) 消息。
步骤 13、 SGW向 MME返回更新承载响应（ Update Bearer Response )消息。 步骤 14、 匪 E向 eNB发送终端上下文释放命令 ( S l-AP: SI UE Context Re lease Command ) 消息。
步驟 15、 eNB向 UE发送 RRC连接释放 ( RRC Connec t i on Release )消息。 步骤 16、 eNB向丽 E发送终端上下文释放完成 （S I- AP: SI UE Context Re l ease Complete ) 消息。 假设没有执行步骤 11或步驟 11的更新承载请求 消息中没有携带无线接入网元信息报告，则在步骤 16的终端上下文释放完成 请求中可以携带无线接入网元信息报告。 然后， 匪 E 还可以向网关设备 SGW 发送携带无线接入网元信息报告的变化通知请求 （Change Not i f i ca t ion Reques t ) 消息。
如图 4c所示，为本发明无线接入网元信息上报方法第一实施例中采用信 令上报的另一种信令流程图， 当 UE从一个源接入网元如源 ( Source ) eNB切 换到目标接入网元如目标 （ Target ) eNB时， 经过步驟 21由核心网元向源接 入网元发送终端上下文释放请求消息后，可以在步骤 22中由源接入网元向核 心网元如丽 E发送携带无线接入网元信息报告的终端上下文释放完成消息。
方式二、若所述上报方式为用户隧道，通过 GTP用户面（ GTP-User plane; 简称： GTP- U ) 隧道或移动 IP隧道向网关设备发送携带所述无线接入网元信 息报告的数据包， 所述无线接入网元信息报告设置在所述数据包的扩展头或 消息类型中。 本实施例以 GTP用户面隧道为例对在数据包中增加无线接入网 元信息报告的方法进行说明，在移动 IP隧道的数据包中增加无线接入网元信 息报告的方法， 与 GTP-U隧道方式类似， 此处不再赘述。
如图 4d 所示， 为本发明无线接入网元信息上报方法第一实施例中釆用 GTP-U隧道上报的信令流程图， 具体包括：
步驟 la、 无线接入网元如 eNB/RNC可以在 GTP- U的数据包的扩展头或消 息类型中添加无线接入网元信息报告。
步骤 2a、 通过 GTP- U隧道直接向网关设备 SGW/PG /GGSN发送携带该无 线接入网元信息报告的数据包。 其中， 无线接入网元在该终端已建立的隧道上如缺省承载， 传递的数据 包的扩展头如 Next Extens ion Header Type位中力 P入无线接入网元信息艮告 后， 可以通过 GTP-U隧道将该无线接入网元信息报告通过 SGW传递给 PGW或 通过 SGSN传递给 GGSN; 网关设备 PGW/GGSN识别到数据包的扩展头后， 可以 将该终端的无线接入网元信息报告从该扩展头中提取出来进行处理， 然后提 供给计费等其他应用。
表 1为通过 GTP- U隧道发送的数据包的扩展头的一种格式。
表 1
Figure imgf000014_0001
在扩展头中加入无线接入网元信息报告的格式可以如下表 2所示:
表 2
Figure imgf000014_0002
上表 2中，是紧接着表 1的扩展头表示方法，例如表 1中的 Next Extens ion Header Type可以表示为无线接入网元信息报告， 在表 2 中包含了该扩展头 的长度 ( Extens ion Header Leng th )及内容 ( Extens ion Header Content ) 以及下一个扩展头的类型 ( Next Extens ion Header Type ) ， 如果下一个扩 展头没有使用， 则在表 2中的 Next Extens ion Header Type中赋值为零， 依 此类推， 如果表 1 中为其他扩展头信息， 则无线接入网元信息报告的扩展头 可以放在表 2 中的下一个扩展头。 无线接入网元信息报告的扩展头的长度和 内容可根据该网络中具体情况设定。 无线接入网元信息报告仅为一种示例名 称， 具体名称不作限定。
无线接入网元在新增的一个 GTP- U数据包的消息类型中加入无线接入网 元信息报告并且在 GTP- U数据包中包含无线接入网元信息报告的内容， 如表 3所示， 为一种在消息类型中加入无线接入网元信息报告的示例。
表 3
Figure imgf000015_0001
无线接入网元如 eNB或 RNC可以将携带无线接入网元信息报告的数据包 通过 GTP- U隧道发送至网关设备； 网关设备识别该数据包后， 将其中的无线 接入网元信息报告提取出来进行处理， 提供给计费等其他应用。
方式三、 若所述上报方式为设备隧道， 还可以通过设备级別的用户面隧 道向网关设备发送携带所述无线接入网元信息报告的数据包， 所述数据包还 包括创建所述设备级别的用户面隧道的用户标识或对应的策略标识。
无线接入网元 （RNC/eNB ) 与核心网元 （ SGW/SGSN以及 PGW/GGSN )建立 起设备级别的用户面隧道， 可以通过设备级别的用户面隧道直接向网关设备 传递无线接入网元信息报告，为使网关设备如 PG 能够识别特定用户的数据， 数据包的格式可以包括： 用户标识、 策略标识和无线接入网元信息报告等， 其中用户标识可以为 IMSI、 网关为用户分配的临时标识 （ Temporary ident i ty ) 等； 策略标识为可选格式， 在网关为用户分配了多个策略时， 网 关设备根据策略标识可对不同策略对应的上报内容进行标识； 无线接入网元 信息报告可以为网关设备根据与接入网元约定的形式接收、处理信息的内容。
综上所述， 上报策略信息设置的形式与无线接入网元信息报告上报的方 式可以任意组合成合理的方式， 如以信令方式下发上报策略信息， 以隧道方 式上报无线接入网元信息报告； 或在无线接入网元配置上报策略信息， 以信 令的方式上 4艮无线接入网元信息报告等。
本实施例可以根据场景灵活配置的上报策略信息如上报内容和上报条 件， 在满足上报条件时， 根据上报内容可以向控制网元或网关设备上报无线 接入网元信息报告， 从而减少对网络资源的占用， 合理利用网络资源。 此外， 通过设置的上报方式， 无线接入网元可以灵活选择采用信令或隧道上报无线 接入网元信息报告。
