Description

一种带宽资源核查方法和装置 技术领域
本发明涉及通信领域,尤其涉及一种带宽资源核查方法和装置。
背景技术
专有承载是在分组数据网(Packet Data Network,PDN)链接建立的基础上建立的,是为了提供某种特定的服务质量(Quality of Service,QoS)传输需求而建立的承载,例如,专有承载包括用户设备(User Equipment,UE)或策略计费规则功能(Policy Charging Rule Function,PCRF)触发的保证比特速率GBR(Guranteed Bit Rate)承载,即使在网络资源紧张的情况下,相应的比特速率也能够保持。
在如图1所示的演进的分组核心网(Evolved Packet Core,EPC)架构下。UE或PCRF触发专有承载的创建流程时,分组数据网络网关(Packet Data Network Gateway,PDN GW或PGW)能够根据PGW当前的专有承载的带宽资源占用情况选择接受执行专有承载的创建流程,或拒绝执行专有承载的创建流程。随着网络架构的演进,基于分布式网关(Distributed Gateway,DGW)的架构是基于网络功能的控制/用户(Control/User,C/U)分离的思路在已有的EPS网络架构上提出的一种增强网络架构。C/U分离是指将网关的控制面功能和用户面功能解耦,而这种增强网络结构包括控制面网关(Control Plane Gateway,CGW)和用户面网关(User Plane Gateway,UGW),其中,分布式网关(Distribution Gateway,DGW)是一种分布式的UGW。CGW是一种集中式的控制面网关,集成了EPS网络中服务网关(Serving Gateway,SGW)和PGW的控制面功能,用于处理控制面信令。DGW集成了EPS网络中SGW和PGW的用户面功能,用于处理用户面数据。DGW在CGW的控制管理下实现对用户面数据的处理,如用户数据包转发。因此,在C/U分离架构下,当UE或PCRF触发专有承载的创建流程时,CGW可以接受执行专有承载 的创建流程或拒绝执行专有承载的创建流程。但是,在CGW接受执行专有承载的创建流程,从而指示DGW分配待建立的专有承载需占用的带宽资源时,如果DGW中用于建立专有承载的带宽资源不足,不能满足UE或PCRF实际需占用的专有承载的带宽资源时,虽然CGW创建专有承载成功,但是DGW实际上并不能提供专有承载实际需占用的带宽资源,这样将会降低用户体验。
发明内容
本发明实施例提供一种带宽资源的核查方法、控制面网元和用户面网元,能够解决CGW无法根据DGW上的专有承载的带宽资源的占用情况决策是否发起专有承载创建的问题。
第一方面,提供一种带宽资源核查方法,包括:
控制面网元向用户面网元发送带宽查询消息,所述带宽查询消息包括待建立的专有承载对应的不同粒度的n个统计对象的标识,n为大于或等于1的正整数,所述带宽查询消息用于查询所述n个统计对象中的每个统计对象对应的带宽资源,所述带宽资源用于专有承载的建立;其中,控制面网元可以为CGW,用户面网元可以为DGW。所划分的粒度可以为DGW支持的APN、用户组和应用,或可以为DGW支持的APN、用户组和应用组等,也可以为其它的粒度,本申请不做限定。
所述控制面网元接收所述用户面网元发送的带宽查询结果消息,所述带宽查询结果消息包括所述n个统计对象分别对应的标识和第一指示信息,所述第一指示信息用于指示所述n个统计对象分别对应的带宽资源的占用情况;
所述控制面网元根据所述带宽查询结果消息确定是否建立所述专有承载。
由此,控制面网元通过向用户面网元主动查询不同粒度下的统计对象对应的专有承载的带宽资源占用情况,可使得控制面网元根据用户面网元的查询结果确定是否建立专有承载,从而使得控制面 网元合理地决策是否发起专有承载的创建。
在一种可能的设计中,在所述控制面网元向所述用户面网元发送带宽查询消息之前,所述方法还包括:
所述控制面网元接收所述控制面网元控制下的用户面网元发送的资源能力信息,所述资源能力信息包括用户面网元用于建立专有承载的总带宽资源和所述用户面网元支持的接入点名称APN列表;
所述控制面网元为所述用户面网元建立以所述APN列表中的APN、用户组和应用为粒度的统计对象,或建立以所述APN列表中的APN、用户组和应用组为粒度的统计对象;
所述控制面网元为所述用户面网元对应的每个统计对象分配标识,并根据所述用户面网元对应的所述总带宽资源为所述用户面网元对应的每个统计对象分配带宽资源和每个统计对象对应的带宽阈值;
所述控制面网元向所述用户面网元发送配置消息,所述配置消息包括所述用户面网元的每个统计对象分别对应的标识、分配的带宽资源、带宽阈值以及带宽资源的告警策略。
由此,在控制面网元向用户面网元发送带宽查询消息之前,可先向用户面网元配置不同粒度下的统计对象的标识、分配的带宽资源、带宽阈值和带宽资源的告警策略,从而使得用户面网元根据控制面网元的配置在控制面网元查询不同粒度下的统计对象的带宽资源时,以便于控制面网元实时获知用户面网元的带宽资源情况。
在一种可能的设计中,在所述控制面网元向所述用户面网元发送所述带宽查询消息之前,所述方法还包括:
所述控制面网元接收所述用户面网元发送的资源告警消息,所述资源告警消息包括至少一个统计对象的标识和第二指示信息,所述第二指示信息用于指示所述至少一个统计对象的带宽资源不足,所述至少一个统计对象的带宽资源不足包括所述至少一个统计对象 已占用的带宽资源超出与所述至少一个统计对象对应的带宽阈值,或所述至少一个统计对象已占用的带宽资源超出与所述至少一个统计对象对应分配的带宽资源;
所述控制面网元确定所述专有承载对应的统计对象的标识中是否包括所述至少一个统计对象的标识;
若确定是,则所述控制面网元选取所述专有承载对应的统计对象中带宽资源不足的统计对象为所述n个统计对象;
若确定否,则所述控制面网元指示所述用户面网元分配所述专有承载需占用的带宽资源,以便所述控制面网元建立所述专有承载。
由此,通过控制面网元发送带宽查询消息之前确定待建立的专有承载对应的统计对象中是否包括带宽资源不足的统计对象,可使得控制面网元只查询存在带宽资源不足的统计对象的带宽资源占用情况,如果待建立的专有承载对应的统计对象中不包括带宽资源不足的统计对象,那么控制面网元默认为待建立的专有承载对应的统计对象的带宽资源均充裕,从而不向用户面网元发送带宽查询消息,这样可以避免控制面网元实时发送查询消息导致用户面网元的信令负荷加重。
在一种可能的设计中,所述第一指示信息包括所述n个统计对象分别对应分配的带宽资源和已占用的带宽资源;
所述控制面网元根据所述带宽查询结果消息确定是否建立所述专有承载包括:
所述控制面网元获取所述专有承载需占用的带宽资源,分别与所述n个统计对象已占用的带宽资源的和;
若所述专有承载需占用的带宽资源分别与所述n个统计对象已占用的带宽资源的和均小于或等于所述n个统计对象对应分配的带宽资源,则所述控制面网元确定建立所述专有承载;
若所述专有承载需占用的带宽资源与所述n个统计对象中的任 一个统计对象已占用的带宽资源的和大于所述任一个统计对象分配的带宽资源,则所述控制面网元确定不建立所述专有承载。
由此,控制面网元通过确定不同粒度下的n个统计对象的带宽资源在分配专有承载需占用的带宽资源后是否都未溢出,来确定是否要建立专有承载,如果有任一粒度下的统计对象的带宽资源溢出,则不建立专有承载,从而可以保证控制面网元任何粒度的统计对象的带宽资源不溢出时建立专有承载,以保证用户获得专有承载所需占用的带宽资源,提高用户体验。
在一种可能的设计中,所述第一指示信息包括所述n个统计对象分别对应的剩余带宽资源;
所述控制面网元根据所述带宽查询结果消息确定是否建立所述专有承载包括:
所述控制面网元确定所述n个统计对象分别对应的剩余带宽资源是否大于或等于所述专有承载需占用的带宽资源;
若确定是,则所述控制面网元确定建立所述专有承载;
若确定否,则所述控制面网元确定不建立所述专有承载。
由此,控制面网元通过确定不同粒度下的n个统计对象的剩余带宽资源是否足够专有承载需占用的带宽资源,来确定是否要建立专有承载,如果有任一粒度下的统计对象的剩余带宽资源不满足专有承载需占用的带宽资源,则不建立专有承载,从而可以保证控制面网元任何粒度的统计对象的带宽资源不溢出时建立专有承载,以保证用户获得专有承载所需占用的带宽资源,提高用户体验。
在一种可能的设计中,若所述控制面网元确定建立所述专有承载,则所述方法还包括:
所述控制面网元向所述用户面网元发送通知消息,所述通知消息包括所述专有承载的标识以及所述专有承载需占用的带宽资源;
若所述控制面网元确定所述用户面网元已成功分配所述专有承 载需占用的带宽资源,则所述控制面网元建立所述专有承载。
由此,当控制面网元确定用户面网元的带宽资源充裕可建立专有承载时,便通知用户面网元分配专有承载需占用的带宽资源,以便用户面网元分配专有承载需占用的带宽资源,提高用户体验。
在一种可能的设计中,若所述控制面网元确定不建立所述专有承载或所述控制面网元确定所述用户面网元申请所述专有承载需占用的带宽资源失败,则所述方法还包括:
所述控制面网元向下一个用户面网元发送所述带宽查询消息,直至所述控制面网元确定所述下一个用户面网元已成功分配所述专有承载需占用的带宽资源时,所述控制面网元建立所述专有承载;
若所述控制面网元遍历所述控制面网元控制下的各个用户面网元后,确定不建立所述专有承载或分配所述专有承载需占用的带宽资源失败,则所述控制面网元向所述移动性管理网元发送拒绝消息,所述拒绝消息用于指示所述控制面网元拒绝建立所述专有承载。
由此,可以将UE的相关承载锚定在不同的用户面网元上,使得控制面网元在用户面网元分配专有承载需占用的带宽资源失败时,向下一用户面网元继续查询,直至下一用户面网元带宽资源充裕并分配专有承载需占用的带宽资源成功,增加了专有承载创建的灵活性。
第二方面,提供一种带宽资源核查方法,包括:
用户面网元接收控制面网元发送的带宽查询消息,所述带宽查询消息包括待建立的专有承载对应的不同粒度的n个统计对象的标识,所述带宽查询消息用于查询所述n个统计对象中的每个统计对象对应的带宽资源,所述带宽资源用于专有承载的建立,n为大于或等于1的正整数;
所述用户面网元查询所述n个统计对象分别对应的带宽资源;
所述用户面网元向所述控制面网元发送带宽查询结果消息,所 述带宽查询结果消息包括所述n个统计对象分别对应的标识和第一指示信息,所述带宽查询结果消息用于是否建立所述专有承载的确定,所述第一指示信息用于指示所述n个统计对象分别对应的带宽资源的占用情况。
由此,用户面网元可根据带宽查询消息中的不同粒度下的n个统计对象的标识查询n个统计对象的带宽资源占用情况并通知给控制面网元,可使得控制面网元确定是否建立专有承载,以避免用户面网元的带宽资源不足,使得控制面网元合理地决策是否发起专有承载的创建。
在一种可能的设计中,所述第一指示信息包括所述n个统计对象分别对应分配的带宽资源和已占用的带宽资源;或,所述第一指示信息包括所述n个统计对象分别对应的剩余带宽资源。
由此,可以是用户面网元只查询n个统计对象分别对应分配的带宽资源和已占用的带宽资源并通知给控制面网元,也可以是用户面网元计算剩余的带宽资源并通知给控制面网元,以减少控制面网元的处理复杂度。
在一种可能的设计中,在所述用户面网元接收所述控制面网元发送的带宽查询消息之前,所述方法还包括:
所述用户面网元向所述控制面网元发送资源能力信息,所述资源能力信息包括所述用户面网元用于建立专有承载的总带宽资源和所述用户面网元支持的接入点名称APN列表;
所述用户面网元接收所述控制面网元发送的配置消息,所述配置消息包括以不同的粒度建立的每个的统计对象分别对应的标识、分配的带宽资源、带宽阈值以及带宽资源的告警策略,所述粒度包括所述APN列表中的APN、用户组和应用,或包括所述APN列表中的APN、用户组和应用组。
由此,用户面网元通过配置有不同粒度下的统计对象的标识、 带宽资源、带宽阈值和资源告警策略,可使得用户面网元实时通知控制面网元不同粒度下的统计对象的带宽资源占用情况,以便控制面网元决策是否发起专有承载的建立。

在一种可能的设计中,所述分配单元用于:分别获取所述n个统计对象中的每个统计对象已占用的带宽资源与所述专有承载需占用的带宽资源的和;
所述确定单元用于:若所述n个统计对象对应已占用的带宽资源与所述专有承载需占用的带宽资源的和,均小于或等于所述n个统计对象对应分配的带宽资源,则确定所述n个统计对象的带宽资源未溢出;
若所述n个统计对象中的任一统计对象已占用的带宽资源与所述专有承载需占用的带宽资源的和,大于所述任一统计对象分配的带宽资源,则确定所述任一统计对象的带宽资源溢出。
由此,用户面网元在分配带宽资源时,可确定待建立的专有承载在不同粒度下的统计对象的带宽资源是否溢出,以保证待建立的专有承载在不同粒度的统计对象下带宽资源均未溢出时分配专有承载需占用的带宽资源,以保证用户体验。
在一种可能的设计中,若所述用户面网元确定所述n个统计对象中的任一统计对象的带宽资源溢出,则所述第一专有承载响应消息包括所述任一统计对象的标识和第一指示信息,所述第一指示信息用于指示所述任一统计对象的带宽资源溢出;
若所述n个统计对象中的任一统计对象已占用的带宽资源与所述专有承载需占用的带宽资源的和,大于所述任一统计对象对应的带宽阈值且小于或等于所述任一统计对象分配的带宽资源,则所述第二专有承载响应消息包括所述任一统计对象的标识和所述任一统计对象对应的剩余带宽资源,用于指示所述任一统计对象的带宽资源不足。
由此,当用户面网元在分配专有承载需占用的带宽资源时,将任一粒度下带宽资不足或溢出的统计对象通知给控制面网元,以便控制面网元合理地决策是否建立专有承载,避免用户面网元的专有承载的带宽资源不足。
因此,本发明实施例提供一种带宽资源的核查方法、控制面网元和用户面网元,控制面网元向用户面网元发送带宽查询消息,带宽查询消息包括待建立的专有承载对应的不同粒度的n个统计对象的标识,n为大于或等于1的正整数,带宽查询消息用于查询n个统计对象中的每个统计对象对应的带宽资源;控制面网元接收用户面网元发送的带宽查询结果消息,带宽查询结果消息包括n个统计对象分别对应的标识和第一指示信息,第一指示信息用于指示n个统计对象分别对应的带宽资源的占用情况;控制面网元根据带宽查询结果消息确定是否建立专有承载。这样,相对于现有技术中,CGW不感知DGW上的专有承载的带宽资源情况,本发明实施例可使得CGW在建立GBR承载之前主动核查DGW中专有承载在不同粒度上的统计对象的带宽资源情况,从而使得CGW可以合理地决策是否建立专有承载;
或者,控制面网元向用户面网元发送专有承载创建消息,专有承载创建消息包括待建立的专有承载对应的不同粒度的n个统计对象的标识,和专有承载需占用的带宽资源,n为大于或等于1正整数,专有承载创建消息用于使用户面网元根据n个统计对象中的每个统计对象对应的带宽资源分配专有承载需占用的带宽资源,带宽资源用于专有承载的建立;控制面网元接收用户面网元发送的专有承载响应消息,专有承载响应消息用于指示用户面网元成功为专有承载分配带宽资源或用户面网元为专有承载分配带宽资源失败,以便控制面网元根据专有承载响应消息确定是否建立专有承载。这样,相对于现有技术中,CGW不感知DGW上的专有承载的带宽资源情况,本发明实施例可使得CGW根据DGW在分配专有承载的带宽资源时,DGW反馈的是否分配专有承载的带宽资源成功来合理地决策 是否建立专有承载。

具体实施方式
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,所描述的实施例仅仅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。
本发明实施例的技术方案可用于将网关功能的控制面功能和用户面功能解耦的网络架构中,即用于将控制面功能和用户面功能分别形成两个单独的网络实体的网络架构中。
为了降低用户面数据的传输时延,可将用户面网关下移,部署分布式的网关。传统的网关部署的位置很高,网关下移是指将网关部署位置下移,如部署在距离UE较近的位置,这样UE通过下移的网关能够快速地接入分组数据网络(Packet Data Network,PDN),提升了用户体验。
图2为本发明实施例提供的一种EPS网络架构的示意图,其中,该EPS网络架构中包括DGW和CGW。图2中,CGW和DGW之间的接口为S18接口,其中,S18接口可以应用现有的EPS网络架构中SGW和PGW之间的接口协议,例如通用分组无线业务(General Packet Radio Service,GPRS)隧道协议(GPRS Tunneling Protocol,GTP),也可以应用其它接口协议或新定义的协议,本发明实施例不做限定。在该网络架构中,除引入的CGW和DGW以及二者之间的S18接口外,其他网元和接口可以应用现有的EPS网络架构的网元和接口。图2所示的网络架构中,上行方向的控制面信令在UE、演进型通用陆地无线接入网(Evolved Universal Terrestrial Radio Access Network,E-UTRAN)、移动性管理实体(Mobility Management Entity,MME)、CGW、PCRF实体之间传输,上行方向的用户面数据的传输路径从UE开始经过E-UTRAN、DGW后到达服务器。
本发明实施例的技术方案可以适用于第三代合作伙伴计划(3rd Generation Partnership Project,3GPP)定义的接入方式的场景,也可以适用于非3GPP的接入方式的场景。
本发明实施例中的带宽资源均用于专有承载的建立。
下面将基于上面的本发明涉及的共性方面,对本发明实施例进一步详细说明。
本发明实施例提供一种带宽资源核查方法,和基于这个方法的控制面网元和用户面网元。其中,控制面网元可以是控制面网关或其它控制面管理实体,用户面网元可以是用户面网关或其它用户面管理实体。控制面网元向用户面网元发送带宽查询消息,带宽查询消息包括待建立的专有承载对应的不同粒度的n个统计对象的标识,带宽查询消息用于查询n个统计对象中的每个统计对象对应的带宽资源;控制面网元接收用户面网元发送的带宽查询结果消息,带宽查询结果消息包括n个统计对象分别对应的标识和第一指示信息,第一指示信息用于指示n个统计对象分别对应的带宽资源的占用情况;控制面网元根据带宽查询结果消息确定是否建立专有承载。这样,相对于现有技术中CGW不感知DGW上的专有承载的带宽资源情况,本发明实施例可使得CGW在建立专有承载之前主动核查DGW中专有承载在不同粒度上的带宽资源情况,从而使得CGW可以合理地决策是否建立专有承载。
本发明实施例还提供一种带宽资源核查方法,控制面网元向用户面网元发送专有承载创建消息,专有承载创建消息包括待建立的专有承载对应的不同粒度的n个统计对象的标识,和专有承载需占用的带宽资源,专有承载创建消息用于使用户面网元根据n个统计对象中的每个统计对象对应的带宽资源分配专有承载需占用的带宽资源,带宽资源用于专有承载的建立;控制面网元接收用户面网元发送的专有承载响应消息,专有承载响应消息用于指示用户面网元成功为专有承载分配带宽资源或用户面网元为专有承载分配带宽资源失败,以便控制面网元根据专有承载响应消息确定是否建立专有承载。这样,相对于现有技术中CGW不感知DGW上的专有承载的带宽资源情况,本发明实施例可使得CGW根据DGW分配专有承载 需占用的带宽资源是否成功向CGW反馈专有承载响应消息,使得CGW根据专有承载响应消息来合理地决策是否建立专有承载。
下面结合附图3,对本发明的实施例提供的方案进行说明。
图3为本发明实施例提供的一种带宽资源核查方法的流程示意图。如图3所示,包括:
301、控制面网元接收控制面网元控制下的用户面网元分别发送的资源能力信息,资源能力信息包括该用户面网元用于建立专有承载的总带宽资源和该用户面网元支持的接入点名称(Access Point Name,APN)列表。
当控制面网元和与控制面网元控制下的各个用户面网元部署上电需要开工时,控制面网元和用户面网元需要进行预处理流程,包括步骤301至303。控制面网元控制下的各个用户面网元首先要向控制面网元发送用户面网元自身的资源能力信息。
302、控制面网元为用户面网元建立以APN列表中的APN、用户组、和应用为粒度的统计对象,或建立以APN列表中的APN、用户组和应用组为粒度的统计对象。
控制面网元会为每个用户面网元都建立每个用户面网元对应的统计对象。统计对象包括APN、用户组和应用,或者,统计对象包括APN、用户组和应用组。需要说明的是,粒度的划分除APN、用户组、应用或应用组以外,还可以包括其它的粒度,本申请不做限定。其中,在整个网络中,各个访问网络的用户的权限可能是各不相同的,可以根据运营商的运营策略将具有相同权限的用户划为一组,以构成不同的用户组。类似的,也可以根据运营商的运营策略,将具有相同属性的应用划为一组,例如可以按照话务特征的繁忙程度对应用进行划分,以构成不同的应用组。
303、控制面网元为用户面网元对应的每个统计对象分配标识,并根据用户面网元对应的总带宽资源为用户面网元对应的每个统计 对象分配带宽资源和每个统计对象对应的带宽阈值。
例如控制面网元可以对不同粒度的统计对象分配标识,并将用户面网元用于建立专有承载的总带宽资源对不同粒度下的每个统计对象进行带宽资源分配,例如APN粒度下,每个APN为一个统计对象,其标识可以为ID1、ID2……,类似的,用户组粒度下,每个用户组为一个统计对象,应用粒度下,每一个应用为一个统计对象,应用组粒度下,每个应用组为一个统计对象。控制面网元对任一用户面网元进行带宽资源分配时,将总带宽资源为该任一用户面网元支持的各个APN分配带宽资源,并重新将总带宽资源为不同的用户组分配带宽资源,再重新将总带宽资源为不同的应用或应用组分配带宽资源。
304、控制面网元向用户面网元发送配置消息,配置消息包括该用户面网元的每个统计对象分别对应的标识、分配的带宽资源、带宽阈值以及带宽资源的告警策略。
该带宽阈值的设置可以小于相应的统计对象分配的带宽资源,以对带宽资源进行缓冲。带宽资源的告警策略可以是当一个统计对象当前占用的带宽资源达到统计对象对应的带宽阈值,或多个统计对象当前占用的带宽资源达到对应的带宽阈值时,触发用户面网元向控制面网元上报告警。
305、控制面网元向用户面网元发送带宽查询消息,带宽查询消息包括待建立的专有承载对应的不同粒度的n个统计对象的标识,n为大于或等于1正整数,带宽查询消息用于查询n个统计对象中的每个统计对象对应的带宽资源,带宽资源用于专有承载的建立。
控制面网元向用户面网元发送带宽查询消息,可以是由于终端侧的UE发起的承载资源修改请求触发的,也可以是网络侧的PCRF发起的IP连接访问网络(IP-Connectivity Access Network,IP-CAN)会话修改(IP-CAN Session Modification)请求触发的。
控制面网元可以根据为UE建立默认承载时的上下文信息确定 用户面网元,以及待建立的专有承载对应的统计对象,即确定UE具体发起专有承载的应用、所属的用户组和APN等。
假设在控制面网元发送带宽查询消息之前,用户面网元在不同粒度下的某些统计对象分配的带宽资源已经超出统计对象对应的带宽阈值或溢出,则用户面网元会向控制面网元发送资源告警消息。例如,在控制面网元向用户面网元发送带宽查询消息之前,方法还可以包括:控制面网元接收用户面网元发送的资源告警消息,资源告警消息包括至少一个统计对象的标识和指示信息,指示信息用于指示至少一个统计对象的带宽资源不足,至少一个统计对象的带宽资源不足包括至少一个统计对象已占用的带宽资源超出与至少一个统计对象对应的带宽阈值,或用于指示至少一个统计对象已占用的带宽资源超出与至少一个统计对象对应分配的带宽资源;控制面网元确定专有承载对应的统计对象的标识中是否包括至少一个统计对象的标识;若确定是,则控制面网元选取专有承载对应的统计对象中带宽资源不足的统计对象为n个统计对象;若确定否,则控制面网元指示用户面网元分配专有承载需占用的带宽资源,以便控制面网元建立专有承载。也即控制面网元可在带宽查询消息中只携带待建立的专有承载对应的统计对象中已经发生资源告警的统计对象的标识,如果控制面网元确定待建立的专有承载对应统计对象的标识均没有包括在之前上报的资源告警消息中,控制面默认该待建立的专有承载对应的统计对象的带宽资源都充裕,控制面网元可以直接指示用户面网元分配专有承载需占用的带宽资源,以便控制面网元建立专有承载。由此,可以避免控制面网元向用户面网元实时查询带宽资源导致用户面的信令负荷加重。
306、用户面网元向控制面网元发送带宽查询结果消息,带宽查询结果消息包括n个统计对象分别对应的标识和第一指示信息,第一指示信息用于指示n个统计对象分别对应的带宽资源的占用情况。
例如,第一指示信息可以包括n个统计对象分别对应分配的带宽资源和已占用的带宽资源;或者,第一指示信息包括n个统计对象分别对应的剩余带宽资源。
307、控制面网元根据带宽查询结果消息确定是否建立专有承载,若确定是,则执行步308,若确定否,则执行步骤312。
若第一指示信息包括n个统计对象分别对应分配的带宽资源和已占用的带宽资源,则控制面网元获取专有承载需占用的带宽资源,分别与n个统计对象已占用的带宽资源的和;若专有承载需占用的带宽资源分别与n个统计对象已占用的带宽资源的和均小于或等于n个统计对象对应分配的带宽资源,则控制面网元确定建立专有承载;若专有承载需占用的带宽资源与n个统计对象中的任一个统计对象已占用的带宽资源的和大于任一个统计对象分配的带宽资源,则控制面网元确定不建立专有承载。
若第一指示信息包括n个统计对象分别对应的剩余带宽资源,控制面网元确定n个统计对象分别对应的剩余带宽资源是否大于或等于专有承载需占用的带宽资源;若确定是,则控制面网元确定建立专有承载;若确定否,则控制面网元确定不建立所述专有承载。
308、控制面网元向用户面网元发送通知消息,通知消息包括专有承载的标识以及专有承载需占用的带宽资源。
309、用户面网元分配专有承载需占用的带宽资源。
310、控制面网元确定用户面网元是否成功分配专有承载需占用的带宽资源,若确定是,则执行步骤311,若确定否,则执行步骤312。
用户面网元若成功分配了专有承载需占用的带宽资源,向控制面网元发送指示成功分配专有承载需占用的带宽资源的响应消息;若分配专有承载需占用的带宽资源失败,则用户面网元向控制面网元发送指示分配专有承载需占用的带宽资源失败的响应消息。控制 面网元根据用户面网元反馈的响应消息,确定用户面网元是否成功分配了专有承载需占用的带宽资源。
若用户面网元分配专有承载需占用的带宽资源后,n个统计对象中的第一统计对象已占用的带宽资源大于第一统计对象对应的带宽阈值且小于第一统计对象分配的带宽资源,即未溢出,则用户面网元向控制面网元发送第一资源告警消息,第一资源告警消息包括第一统计对象的标识和第一统计对象的剩余带宽资源,当携带剩余带宽资源时,表征用户面网元通知控制面网元第一统计对象的带宽资源不足;
若用户面网元分配专有承载需占用的带宽资源后,n个统计对象中的第二统计对象已占用的带宽资源大于或等于第二统计对象分配的带宽资源,即溢出,则用户面网元撤销分配的专有承载需占用的带宽资源,并向控制面网元发送第二资源告警消息,第二资源告警消息包括第二统计对象的标识和指示信息,指示信息用于指示第二统计对象的带宽资源溢出。
311、控制面网元建立专有承载。
312、控制面网元向移动性管理网元发送拒绝消息,拒绝消息用于指示控制面网元拒绝建立专有承载。
可选的,当控制面网元确定不建立专有承载,或控制面网元确定用户面网元分配待建立的专有承载需占用的带宽资源失败时,控制面网元可以向下一个用户面网元发送带宽查询消息,直至控制面网元确定下一个用户面网元已成功分配专有承载需占用的带宽资源时,控制面网元建立专有承载。
由此,当用户面网元分配带宽资源失败时,控制面网元可以重新选取下一个用户面网元,并对重新选取的用户面网元执行步骤305-312,直到选取的用户面网元成功分配到待建立的专有承载需占用的带宽资源为止。
若控制面网元遍历控制面网元控制下的各个用户面网元后,确定不建立专有承载或分配专有承载需占用的带宽资源失败,则控制面网元向移动性管理网元发送拒绝消息,拒绝消息用于指示控制面网元拒绝建立专有承载。
其中,步骤301至步骤304为可选的步骤,步骤305至步骤312为必选的步骤。
由此,本发明实施例提供的带宽资源核查方法,可使得控制面网元根据用户面网元反馈的带宽资源占用情况,合理地决策是否创建专有承载。
图4为本发明实施例还提供的一种带宽资源核查方法的流程示意图。如图4所示,包括:
本实施例中的步骤401~404与上述步骤301~304类似,即执行用户面网元和控制面网元部署上电需要开工时,控制面网元和用户面网元的预处理流程,此处不再赘述。
405、控制面网元向用户面网元发送专有承载创建消息,专有承载创建消息包括待建立的专有承载对应的不同粒度的n个统计对象的标识和专有承载需占用的带宽资源,n为大于或等于1正整数,专有承载创建消息用于使用户面网元根据n个统计对象中的每个统计对象对应的带宽资源分配专有承载需占用的带宽资源,带宽资源用于专有承载的建立。
与上述图3所示的实施方法不同的是,本实施例中控制面网元需要建立专有承载时,不向用户面网元发送带宽查询消息,而是直接向用户面网元发送专有承载创建消息,该消息中携带专有承载对应的统计对象的标识和专有承载需占用的带宽资源。其中,控制面发起的专有承载的建立可以是由于UE侧发起的承载资源修改请求触发的,也可以是网络侧PCRF发起的IP-CAN会话修改请求触发的,与步骤305的说明类似。
406、用户面网元分配专有承载需占用的带宽资源,并确定分配后n个统计对象中是否存在带宽资源溢出的统计对象,若确定是,则执行步骤407,若确定否,则执行步骤409。
用户面网元分别获取n个统计对象中的每个统计对象已占用的带宽资源与专有承载需占用的带宽资源的和;
若n个统计对象对应的已占用的带宽资源与专有承载需占用的带宽资源的和,均小于或等于n个统计对象对应分配的带宽资源,则用户面网元确定n个统计对象的带宽资源未溢出;
若n个统计对象中的任一统计对象已占用的带宽资源与专有承载需占用的带宽资源的和,大于任一统计对象分配的带宽资源,则用户面网元确定任一统计对象的带宽资源溢出。即任一粒度下的统计对象已占用的带宽资源与专有承载需占用的带宽资源的和,大于任一统计对象分配的带宽资源,则确定带宽资源溢出。
407、用户面网元向控制面网元发送第一专有承载响应消息,用于指示用户面网元为专有承载分配带宽资源失败。
如果用户面网元分配专有承载需占用的带宽资源时,任一统计对象的带宽资源溢出,则向控制面网元发送第一专有承载响应消息,第一专有承载响应消息指示为专有承载分配带宽资源失败,且第一专有承载响应消息包括带宽资源溢出的第一统计对象的标识和指示信息,指示信息用于指示第一统计对象的带宽资源溢出。或者,用户面网元分配专有承载需占用的带宽资源时,由于软件故障或硬件故障,导致分配失败,则用户面网元向控制面网元发送第一专有承载响应消息,第一专有承载响应消息用于指示为专有承载分配带宽资源失败。
408、控制面网元向移动性管理网元发送拒绝消息,拒绝消息用于指示控制面网元拒绝建立专有承载。
可选的,当控制面网元确定用户面网元分配带宽资源失败时, 控制面网元可以向下一个用户面网元发送专有承载创建消息,直至下一个用户面网元发送的专有承载响应消息指示成功为专有承载分配带宽资源,控制面网元建立专有承载。
若各个用户面网元都为专有承载分配带宽资源失败,则控制面网元确定拒绝建立专有承载。
409、用户面网元向控制面网元发送第二专有承载响应消息,用于指示用户面网元成功为专有承载分配带宽资源。
如果n个统计对象中每个统计对象已占用的带宽资源与专有承载需占用的带宽资源的和,均小于或等于每个统计对象对应分配的带宽资源,那么用户面网元向控制面网元发送第二专有承载响应消息,用于指示用户面网元成功为专有承载分配带宽资源。
其中,若n个统计对象中的任一统计对象已占用的带宽资源与专有承载需占用的带宽资源的和,大于任一统计对象对应的带宽阈值且小于或等于任一统计对象分配的带宽资源,则第二专有承载响应消息包括任一统计对象的标识和任一统计对象的剩余带宽资源,用于指示任一统计对象的带宽资源不足。也即,用户面网元虽然为专有承载分配了带宽资源,但是存在分配后已占用的带宽资源大于带宽阈值的统计对象,即带宽资源不足的统计对象时,第二专有承载响应消息会携带带宽资源不足的统计对象的标识和对应的剩余带宽资源。
410、控制面网元建立专有承载。
其中,步骤401至步骤404为可选的步骤,步骤405至步骤410为必选的步骤。
由此,本发明实施例中,控制面网元可以向用户面网元发送专有承载创建消息,专有承载创建消息包括待建立的专有承载对应的n个统计对象的标识和专有承载需占用的带宽资源,用户面网元可根据n个统计对象的标识和专有承载需占用的带宽资源,确定在分 配专有承载需占用的带宽资源,不同粒度下的n个统计对象的带宽资源是否溢出,再向控制面网元返回专有承载响应消息,使得控制面网元合理地决策是否创建专有承载。
下面对应图3所示的实施例,以控制面网元为CGW,用户面网元为DGW,专有承载为GBR承载为例进行说明,但是并不限于控制面网元为CGW,用户面网元为DGW,专有承载为GBR承载。图5为本发明实施例提供的一种带宽资源核查方法,包括:
在CGW和DGW部署开工时,需要进行预处理流程,包括以下步骤中的步骤501~步骤504。
501、DGW向CGW发送资源能力信息,资源能力信息包括DGW对应的GBR总带宽资源和DGW对应支持的APN列表。
可选的,资源能力信息还可以包括DGW的总带宽资源。GBR总带宽资源是DGW的总带宽资源中用于建立GBR承载的带宽资源。
例如,任一DGW发送的资源能力信息的消息结构中的关键信元及对应的说明可以如表1所示:
表1
关键信元 说明
Total Bandwidth 总带宽资源
GBR Bandwidth GBR总带宽资源
Supported APN List 支持的APN列表
502、CGW根据为DGW建立以APN列表中的APN、用户组、以及应用(或应用组)为粒度的统计对象。
其中,可以APN、用户组和应用建立任一DGW的统计对象,也可以APN、用户组和应用组建立任一DGW的统计对象。
需要说明的是,除上述粒度以外,还可以包括其它的粒度,本申请不做限定。
以任一DGW为例,其支持的APN列表包括APN1、APN2、…、 APNn,那么以APN为粒度的统计对象包括APN1、APN2、…、APNn;类似的,以用户组为粒度的统计对象包括用户组1、用户组2、…、用户组n,以应用或应用组为粒度的统计对象包括应用/应用组1、应用/应用组2、…、应用/应用组n。
503、CGW为DGW对应的每个统计对象分配标识,并根据各个DGW对应的GBR总带宽资源为各个DGW对应的每个统计对象分配带宽资源和每个统计对象对应的带宽阈值。
以任一DGW为例,不同粒度下的统计对象对应的标识可以如表2所示:
表2
Figure PCTCN2015099973-appb-000001
分配带宽资源时,将DGW对应的GBR总带宽资源分配给APN粒度下的各个APN,并将DGW对应的GBR总带宽资源重新分配给用户组粒度下的各个用户组,并将DGW对应的GBR总带宽资源再重新分配给应用/应用组粒度下的各个应用/应用组。分配带宽资源的依据可以根据话务特征进行分配,例如话务繁忙的统计对象可以分配较多的GBR带宽资源。
同时,CGW可以为不同粒度下的统计对象分别分配带宽阈值,以及资源的告警策略,用于当统计对象当前占用的GBR带宽资源达到带宽阈值时,会触发DGW向CGW上报告警。统计对象的带宽阈值的设定可以小于统计对象分配到的GBR带宽资源,作为对GBR带宽资源的缓冲。
504、CGW向DGW发送配置消息,配置消息包括DGW的每个统计对象对应的标识、分配的带宽资源带宽阈值和资源的告警策略。
例如,CGW发送给DGW的配置消息中的任一个统计对象对应的关键信元及说明可以如表3所示:
表3
关键信元 说明
Object ID 统计对象的ID
GBR Bandwidth 统计对象分配的GBR带宽资源
Threshold 带宽阈值
Resource Warning Strategy 资源的告警策略
其中,资源的告警策略可以是:当其中一个统计对象对应的当前占用的GBR带宽资源达到相应的带宽阈值时触发DGW向CGW上报告警,也可以是等到多个统计对象对应的当前占用的GBR带宽资源达到相应的带宽阈值时触发DGW向CGW上报告警,本申请不做限定。
在完成上述预处理流程后,当UE侧需要建立GBR承载时,GBR承载的创建过程可以为:
505、UE向MME发送承载资源修改请求,承载资源修改请求包括建立GBR承载的GBR带宽资源需求。
该GBR带宽资源需求可以包括该GBR承载实际需占用的GBR带宽资源。
506、MME向CGW发送承载资源命令消息。
承载资源命令消息用于触发CGW创建GBR承载,可以包括GBR承载实际需占用的带宽资源等信息。
507、CGW向PCRF通知IP-CAN会话修改流程开始。
CGW中包括策略及计费执行功能(Policy and Charging Enforcement Function,PCEF),CGW在接收到承载资源命令消息时,PCEF就会向PCRF通知IP连接访问网络会话修改流程开始,PCRF向CGW下发服务质量(Quality of Service,QoS)策略。其中QoS策略也可以在CGW本地配置。
如果是网络侧发起的GBR承载建立流程,那么上述步骤505-步骤506可替换为:PCRF向CGW发送IP连接访问网络会话修改通知,以触发GBR承载的建立流程。
508、CGW向为UE锚定的DGW发送GBR带宽查询消息,GBR带宽查询消息包括待建立的GBR承载对应的不同粒度的n个统计对象的标识。
CGW可以根据为UE建立默认承载时的上下文信息确定为UE锚定的DGW,并根据该上下文信息确定待建立的GBR承载对应的统计对象,即确定UE具体发起GBR承载的应用、所属的用户组和APN等,确定的统计对象包括应用、用户组和APN,以便根据确定的统计对象获取待建立的GBR承载对应的统计对象的标识。这样当确定的统计对象包括应用、用户组、APN时,GBR带宽查询消息中携带该应用的标识、用户组的标识和APN的标识,以使得DGW确定不同粒度下的统计对象对应GBR带宽资源情况。
在一种可能的设计中,CGW为UE所选的DGW在CGW查询带宽之前,DGW可能向CGW上报过资源告警消息,该资源告警信息中包括GBR带宽资源不足的统计对象的标识和对应的剩余的GBR带宽资源,其中,GBR带宽资源不足的统计对象可以是已占用的GBR带宽资源大于带宽阈值或GBR带宽资源溢出的统计对象,因此,CGW在发送GBR带宽查询消息之前,可先确定为UE待建立的GBR 承载对应的统计对象中是否包括资源告警信息中涉及的GBR带宽资源不足的统计对象,如果包括,CGW可以将待建立的GBR承载对应的统计对象中涉及GBR带宽资源不足的统计对象的标识作为上述n个统计对象的标识,即CGW只查询GBR带宽资源不足的统计对象当前的GBR带宽资源;如果不包括,CGW可默认待建立的GBR承载对应的统计对象的GBR带宽资源充裕,可以不执行步骤508,直接执行步骤512。这样可避免CGW向DGW实时查询带宽资源导致DGW的信令负荷加重。
509、DGW根据GBR带宽查询消息中n个统计对象的标识,确定该n个统计对象分别对应的GBR带宽资源的占用情况。
510、DGW向CGW发送带宽查询结果消息,带宽查询结果消息包括n个统计对象分别对应的标识、分配的GBR带宽资源和和第一指示信息,第一指示信息用于指示n个统计对象分别对应的带宽资源的占用情况。
可选的,第一指示信息包括n个统计对象分别对应分配的GBR带宽资源和已占用的GBR带宽资源;或者,第一指示信息包括n个统计对象分别对应的剩余GBR带宽资源。
如果第一指示信息包括n个统计对象分别对应分配的GBR带宽资源和已占用的GBR带宽资源,GBR带宽查询结果消息结构中的任一个统计对象的关键信元及其说明可以如表4所示:
表4
关键信元 说明
Object ID 统计对象的ID
GBR Bandwidth 分配的GBR带宽资源
Used GBR Bandwidth 已占用的GBR带宽资源
如果第一指示信息包括n个统计对象分别对应的剩余带宽资源,GBR带宽查询结果消息结构中关键信元包括统计对象的ID和剩余GBR带宽资源。
511、CGW根据带宽查询结果消息确定是否建立GBR承载,若确定是,则执行步骤512,若确定否,则执行步骤513。
如果第一指示信息包括n个统计对象分别对应分配的带宽资源和已占用的带宽资源,CGW在接收到DGW发送的带宽查询结果消息时,CGW先获取待建立的GBR承载需占用的GBR带宽资源,分别与n个统计对象已占用的带宽资源的和,若GBR承载需占用的GBR带宽资源分别于n个统计对象已占用的GBR带宽资源的和小于或等于n个统计对象对应分配的GBR带宽资源,则可确定待建立的GBR承载在该DGW不同粒度上的GBR带宽资源均充裕,CGW确定建立GBR承载;如果GBR承载需占用的GBR带宽资源与n个统计对象中的任一个统计对象已占用的GBR带宽资源的和大于任一个统计对象分配的GBR带宽资源,可确定该DGW的GBR带宽资源在该任一个统计对象所在的粒度上不足,CGW确定不建立GBR承载。
如果第一指示信息包括n个统计对象分别对应的剩余GBR带宽资源,CGW确定n个统计对象分别对应的剩余GBR带宽资源是否大于或等于GBR承载需占用的带宽资源;若确定是,则CGW确定建立GBR承载;若确定否,则CGW确定不建立GBR专有承载。
其中,GBR承载需占用的带宽资源是CGW根据UE发送的承载资源修改请求中携带的实际需占用的GBR带宽资源需求与QoS策略确定的。
512、CGW执行建立GBR承载的流程。
具体地,CGW向DGW发送通知消息,该通知消息包括待建立的GBR承载的标识以及GBR承载需占用的GBR带宽资源。
该通知消息的关键信元和说明可以如表5所示。
表5
关键信元 说明
Bearer ID GBR承载的标识
Needed GBR Bandwidth GBR承载需占用的带宽资源
DGW在接收到通知消息后,为GBR承载分配GBR承载需占用的带宽资源,如果分配成功,DGW向CGW通知已成功分配GBR承载需占用的带宽资源,CGW执行EPC架构中的GBR承载创建流程;如果DGW为GBR承载分配GBR承载需占用的带宽资源失败,则DGW通知CGW分配GBR承载需占用的带宽资源失败,则CGW执行EPC架构中的GBR承载拒绝流程。
其中,在DGW分配GBR承载需占用的GBR带宽资源后,n个统计对象中的第一统计对象已占用的GBR带宽资源大于第一统计对象对应的带宽阈值且小于第一统计对象分配的GBR带宽资源,则DGW向CGW发送第一资源告警消息,第一资源告警消息包括第一统计对象的标识和第一统计对象的剩余GBR带宽资源,已指示第一统计对象的剩余GBR带宽资源不足;
若DGW分配GBR承载需占用的带宽资源后,n个统计对象中的第二统计对象已占用的GBR带宽资源大于第二统计对象分配的GBR带宽资源,即带宽资源溢出,则DGW撤销分配的GBR承载需占用的GBR带宽资源,并向CGW发送第二资源告警消息,第二资源告警消息包括第二统计对象的标识和指示信息,指示信息用于指示第二统计对象的带宽资源溢出。
其中,当CGW指示DGW分配GBR承载需占用的GBR带宽资源时,如果DGW由于软件故障或硬件故障分配失败,则DGW通知CGW分配GBR承载需占用的带宽资源失败。
513、CGW执行拒绝建立GBR承载的流程。
可选的,当CGW在步骤511中确定不建立GBR承载,或在步骤512中DGW分配GBR承载需占用的GBR带宽资源失败,还可以包括:
514、CGW选取下一个DGW(图5中未示出),CGW与下一个DGW执行步骤508,直至选取的下一个DGW满足GBR承载需占用的GBR带宽资源且分配成功时,CGW执行EPC架构中的建立GBR 承载的流程。如果CGW遍历完CGW控制下的所有DGW,所有的DGW均不满足GBR承载需占用的GBR带宽资源或者分配GBR承载需占用的带宽资源失败,CGW执行拒绝建立GBR承载的流程。
这样,可以不需要将GBR承载和默认承载锚定在同一个DGW上,当CGW最初选取的DGW上的剩余GBR带宽资源不足,可以重新选取一个剩余GBR带宽资源充裕的DGW,增加了GBR承载创建的灵活性。
上述带宽资源核查过程中,当CGW需要执行GBR承载创建流程之前,先向DGW查询DGW的GBR带宽资源是否充裕,以便CGW合理地决定是否建立GBR承载。另一种可实现方式中,CGW可不向DGW查询DGW的GBR带宽资源是否充裕,而是在进行预处理流程后,当需要建立GBR承载时,CGW直接向DGW发送专有承载创建消息,以便DGW确定在分配GBR承载需占用的带宽资源后,GBR承载对应的统计对象的GBR带宽资源是否溢出,若未溢出,则为GBR承载分配GBR承载需占用的带宽资源并通知CGW,以便CGW执行GBR承载的创建流程,若溢出,则撤销为GBR承载分配的GBR承载需占用的带宽资源并通知CGW,以便CGW执行GBR承载的拒绝创建流程。因此,图6为本发明实施例提供的一种带宽资源核查方法,包括:
步骤601-步骤607与步骤501-步骤507类似,此处不再赘述。
608、CGW向DGW发送GBR承载创建消息,GBR承载创建消息包括待建立的专有承载对应的不同粒度的n个统计对象的标识和GBR承载需占用的带宽资源。
这里的n个统计对象的标识的确定可以与上述步骤508的说明类似,此处不再赘述。
609、DGW分配GBR承载需占用的带宽资源,并确定分配后n个统计对象中是否存在带宽资源溢出的统计对象,若确定是,则执行步骤610,若确定否,则执行步骤612。
DGW可先获取n个统计对象中每个统计对象已占用的带宽资源与GBR承载需占用的带宽资源的和,若n个统计对象分别已占用的带宽资源与GBR承载需占用的带宽资源的和,均小于或等于n个统计对象对应分配的GBR带宽资源,则DGW确定n个统计对象的GBR带宽资源未溢出;若n个统计对象中任一统计对象已占用的GBR带宽资源与GBR承载需占用的带宽资源的和,大于任一统计对象分配的GBR带宽资源,则DGW确定任一统计对象的GBR带宽资源溢出。
610、DGW向CGW发送第一专有承载响应消息,用于指示DGW为专有承载分配带宽资源失败。
若DGW确定任一统计对象的GBR带宽资源溢出,则GDW撤销分配的GBR承载需占用的带宽资源,并向CGW发送第一专有承载响应消息,该第一专有承载响应消息包括任一统计对象的标识和指示信息,指示信息用于指示任一统计对象的带宽资源溢出。
其中,也有可能是DGW确定n个统计对象的GBR带宽资源为溢出,但是由于软件或硬件原因分配GBR承载需占用的GBR带宽资源失败,这时,DGW也向CGW发送第一专有承载响应消息。
611、CGW执行GBR承载的拒绝流程。
612、DGW向CGW发送第二专有承载响应消息,用于指示DGW成功为专有承载分配带宽资源。
若n个统计对象中的n个统计对象对应已占用的GBR带宽资源与GBR承载需占用的带宽资源的和均小于或等于n个统计对象对应分配的GBR带宽资源,且DGW为GBR承载分配n个统计对象中的每个统计对象需占用的带宽资源成功,则DGW向CGW发送第二专有承载响应消息。
其中,若n个统计对象中的任一统计对象已占用的GBR带宽资源与GBR承载需占用的带宽资源的和,大于任一统计对象对应的带宽阈值且小于或等于任一统计对象分配的GBR带宽资源,则第二专 有承载响应消息包括任一统计对象的标识和剩余带宽资源,用于指示任一统计对象的带宽资源不足。即虽然DGW为GBR承载分配了GBR承载需占用的GBR带宽资源,如果分配后统计对象已占用的GBR带宽资源大于带宽阈值且小于分配的GBR带宽资源,则DGW还需要通知CGW该统计对象的GBR带宽资源不足。
613、CGW执行GBR承载的建立流程。
可选的,在步骤611之前,还可以包括:614、DGW选取下一个DGW(图6中未示出),并执行步骤608,直至CGW选取一个DGW,使得分配GBR承载需占用的GBR带宽资源后DGW对应的统计对象的GBR带宽资源均未溢出且选取的DGW分配GBR承载所需的GBR带宽资源成功,若所有的DGW的GBR带宽资源都会溢出或分配GBR承载所需的GBR带宽资源失败,则CGW执行GBR承载的拒绝流程。
因此,在本实施例中,CGW可不向DGW查询DGW的GBR带宽资源是否充裕,而是在进行预处理流程后,当需要建立GBR承载时,CGW直接向DGW发送专有承载创建消息,以便DGW确定在分配GBR承载需占用的带宽资源后,GBR承载对应的统计对象的GBR带宽资源是否溢出,若未溢出,则为GBR承载分配GBR承载需占用的带宽资源并通知CGW,以便CGW执行GBR承载的创建流程,若溢出,则撤销为GBR承载分配的GBR承载需占用的带宽资源并通知CGW,以便CGW执行GBR承载的拒绝创建流程。这样,CGW也可以根据DGW分配GBR承载的GBR带宽资源后反馈的GBR承载需占用的带宽资源是否分配成功来合理地确定是否要建立GBR承载。
