The SPR stores a correspondence between the group identifier and multiple UEs or multiple base stations. In this embodiment, the group information of the UE or the base station is stored in the SPR, and each group identifier corresponds to multiple UEs or multiple base stations, so that multiple base stations or multiple UEs corresponding to each group are implemented, and PCRF selection with aggregation characteristics is implemented. .

1002、 DRA接收 SPR发送的组标识。 1002. The DRA receives the group identifier sent by the SPR.

后续采用如上述图 1所示实施例的 101 , 详细参考上述实施例的记载，在此不再赘述。 The following describes the embodiment of the embodiment shown in FIG. 1 and refers to the description of the foregoing embodiment in detail, and details are not described herein again.

本实施例中是以组标识与多个 UE 或者多个基站之间的对应关系存储在 SPR中为例。当 DRA收到某个 UE的会话请求，准备建立是 s9a会话时，先向 SPR请求该 UE对应的组标识，然后再根据组标识选择对应的 PCRF 模块。 In this embodiment, the correspondence between the group identifier and multiple UEs or multiple base stations is stored in the SPR as an example. When the DRA receives a session request from a UE and prepares to establish an s9a session, it first requests the SPR corresponding group ID from the SPR, and then selects the corresponding PCRF module according to the group identifier.

本实施例的 PCRF模块选择方法，通过采用上述技术方案，能够从 SPR 中获取第一 UE的标识或者第一基站的标识对应的组标识；根据该组标识选择对应的 PCRF模块。采用本实施例的技术方案，能够实现基于多个 UE 或者多个基站的组进行 PCRF模块的选择，从而实现 PCRF的聚合特性。采用本实施例的技术方案，可以保证部署家庭基站的家庭网络，企业网，或某个公共网络中用户实现具有聚合特性的 PCRF选择，从而减少用户在家庭网络，企业网或某个公共网络移动过程中， PCRF选择变化，减少 PCRF 与固网设备间的通信，减少 S9a会话数目。该发明节省了网络中信令开销，减轻网络负荷。并且由于 PCRF选取的确定性，可以有效的部署 PCRF的管理，控制和维护特性。 In the PCRF module selection method of the embodiment, the identifier of the first UE or the group identifier corresponding to the identifier of the first base station is obtained from the SPR, and the corresponding PCRF module is selected according to the group identifier. With the technical solution of the embodiment, the selection of the PCRF module based on the group of multiple UEs or multiple base stations can be implemented, thereby implementing the aggregation characteristics of the PCRF. With the technical solution of the embodiment, the user network in the home base station, the enterprise network, or a public network in the public network can be selected to implement the PCRF selection with the aggregation feature, thereby reducing the user's movement on the home network, the enterprise network, or a certain public network. During the process, PCRF selects changes, reducing PCRF Communication with fixed network devices reduces the number of S9a sessions. The invention saves signaling overhead in the network and reduces network load. And because of the certainty of PCRF selection, the management, control and maintenance features of the PCRF can be effectively deployed.

可选地，上述图 2所示实施例中的组标识与多个 UE或者多个基站之间的对应关系也可以存储在 DRA中为例。此时上述图 1所示实施例中的 100 具体可以包括： DRA根据预建立的组标识与多个 UE或者多个基站之间的对应关系以及第一 UE或者第一基站，获取第一 UE或者第一基站对应的组标识。 Optionally, the correspondence between the group identifier in the foregoing embodiment shown in FIG. 2 and multiple UEs or multiple base stations may also be stored in the DRA as an example. The foregoing 100 in the embodiment shown in FIG. 1 may include: the DRA acquires the first UE according to the correspondence between the pre-established group identifier and the multiple UEs or the multiple base stations, and the first UE or the first base station. The group identifier corresponding to the first base station.

进一步，可选地，当组标识与多个 UE或者多个基站之间的对应关系也可以存储在 DRA中时，此时在上述图 1所示实施例的 100之前，还可以包括如下： Further, optionally, when the correspondence between the group identifier and the multiple UEs or the multiple base stations is also stored in the DRA, the foregoing may also include the following before the 100 of the embodiment shown in FIG. 1 :

DRA根据特性参数为多个 UE或者多个基站配置该组标识，得到该组标识与多个 UE或者多个基站之间的对应关系。 The DRA configures the group identifier for multiple UEs or multiple base stations according to the characteristic parameter, and obtains a correspondence between the group identifier and multiple UEs or multiple base stations.

上述实施例中具有特性参数可以为标识物理位置的参数、网段地址、 IP 地址、 IP地址前缀信息、 ID或者 ID前缀信息。 The characteristic parameter in the foregoing embodiment may be a parameter for identifying a physical location, a network segment address, an IP address, an IP address prefix information, an ID, or an ID prefix information.

例如可以将某个特定公共场所（即具有相同物理位置的参数）中所有的 UE或者所有基站如 HeNB划分为一个组，对应同一个 PCRF模块。或者还可以将某个企业的所有 UE划分为一个组对应一个 PCRF模块，具体实现时可以将该企业的所有 UE的 ID对应一个组标识。或者将属于同一区域（如同一大楼或者同一小区）的 UE划分为一个组，对应一个 PCRF模块。或者由于同一物理区域的 HeNB的网段地址仅最后几位存在差异，还可以根据 HeNB的网段地址，将属于同一物理区域的 HeNB划分为一个组，对应一个 PCRF模块。 For example, all UEs or all base stations such as HeNBs in a specific public place (that is, parameters having the same physical location) may be divided into one group, corresponding to the same PCRF module. Alternatively, all the UEs of an enterprise may be divided into one group corresponding to one PCRF module. In specific implementation, the IDs of all UEs of the enterprise may be corresponding to one group identifier. Or the UEs belonging to the same area (such as the same building or the same cell) are divided into one group, corresponding to one PCRF module. Or, because the network segment address of the HeNB in the same physical area is different only in the last few bits, the HeNBs in the same physical area may be divided into one group according to the network segment address of the HeNB, corresponding to one PCRF module.

上述实施例的 PCRF模块的选择方法，能够从 DRA中预建立的组标识与多个 UE或者多个基站之间的对应关系中获取第一 UE或者第一基站的组标识；根据该组标识选择对应的 PCRF模块。采用本实施例的技术方案，能够实现基于多个 UE或者多个基站的组进行 PCRF模块的选择，从而实现 PCRF的聚合特性。采用本实施例的技术方案，可以保证部署家庭基站的家庭网络，企业网，或某个公共网络中用户实现对具有聚合特性的 PCRF选择，从而减少用户在家庭网络，企业网或某个公共网络移动过程中， PCRF 选择变化，减少 PCRF与固网设备间的通信，减少 S9a会话数目。该发明节省了网络中信令开销，减轻网络负荷。并且由于 PCRF选取的确定性，可以有效的部署 PCRF的管理，控制和维护特性。 The method for selecting the PCRF module in the foregoing embodiment, the group identifier of the first UE or the first base station is obtained from the correspondence between the group identifier pre-established in the DRA and the multiple UEs or the multiple base stations; Corresponding PCRF module.
