Description
本申请要求于2016年10月25日提交中国专利局、申请号为201610939201.7、发明名称为“支持non-3GPP接入的用户面功能实体选择方法、设备及***”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。
本发明涉及通信技术领域,尤其涉及支持非-第三代合作伙伴计划(non-3rd generation partnership project,non-3GPP)接入的用户面(user plane,UP)功能实体选择方法、设备及***。
为了应对无线宽带技术的挑战,保持3GPP网络的领先优势,3GPP标准组在2016年底制定了下一代移动通信***(next generation system)网络架构,称为第五代(5rd generation,5G)网络架构。该架构不但支持3GPP标准组定义的无线技术接入5G核心网络(5G core network),而且支持non-3GPP接入技术接入5G核心网络。其中5G核心网络的核心网功能分为UP功能与控制面(control plane,CP)功能。UP功能实体主要负责分组数据包的转发、服务质量(quality of service,QoS)控制、计费信息统计等;CP功能实体主要负责向UP下发数据包转发策略、QoS控制策略等。
现有技术中,当用户设备(user equipment,UE)从3GPP网络接入时,CP功能实体为UE选择合适的UP功能实体,进而该UP功能实体与无线侧建立用户面连接,并为UE提供相关的服务。其中,上述合适的UP功能实体指当前负载较低,且可以支持相关的(access point name,APN)的UP功能实体。
然而,当UE从该3GPP网络移动到non-3GPP网络接入时,之前选择的UP功能实体将可能不再适合继续为UE服务,从而无法保证业务的连续性。
发明内容
本发明实施例提供支持non-3GPP接入的用户面功能实体选择方法、设备及***,以至少解决目前当UE从3GPP网络移动到non-3GPP网络接入时,之前选择的UP功能实体将可能不再适合继续为UE服务,从而无法保证业务的连续性的问题。
为达到上述目的,本发明实施例提供如下技术方案:
第一方面,提供一种支持non-3GPP接入的UP功能实体选择方法,该方法包括:当UE从3GPP网络接入的情况下,CP功能实体获取该UE的签约数据,该签约数据中包含是否允许该UE接入non-3GPP网络的指示信息;若该指示信息指示允许该UE接入non-3GPP网络,该CP功能实体选择支持non-3GPP接入的目标UP功能实体。也就是说,CP功能实体在选择支持
non-3GPP接入的目标UP功能实体时,考虑了是否允许UE接入non-3GPP网络的因素,在允许UE接入non-3GPP网络的情况下,CP功能实体选择支持non-3GPP接入的目标UP功能实体。由于支持non-3GPP接入的目标UP功能实体与non-3GPP接入网关之间存在如图1所示的接口NG3,因此,当UE从该3GPP网络移动到non-3GPP网络接入时,该目标UP功能实体仍适合继续为UE服务,从而可以保证业务的连续性。
在一种可能的设计中,该CP功能实体选择支持non-3GPP接入的目标UP功能实体,包括:该CP功能实体获取至少一个UP功能实体的non-3GPP接入能力;该CP功能实体根据该至少一个UP功能实体的non-3GPP接入能力,从该至少一个UP功能实体中选择支持non-3GPP接入的目标UP功能实体。也就是说,CP功能实体可以基于签约数据和UP功能实体的non-3GPP接入能力选择支持non-3GPP接入的目标UP功能实体。
在一种可能的设计中,该签约数据中包含是否允许该UE接入non-3GPP网络的指示信息,包括:该签约数据中包含网络接入模式参数,其中,若该网络接入模式参数设置为分组交换域、或若该网络接入模式参数设置为分组交换域或语音服务域,则表示允许该UE接入non-3GPP网络;若该网络接入模式参数设置为语音服务域,则表示不允许该UE接入non-3GPP网络;或者,若该签约数据中包含non-3GPP允许指示,则表示允许该UE接入non-3GPP网络;若该签约数据中不包含non-3GPP允许指示,则表示不允许该UE接入non-3GPP网络;或者,若该签约数据中包含non-3GPP不允许指示,则表示不允许该UE接入non-3GPP网络,若该签约数据中不包含non-3GPP不允许指示,则表示允许该UE接入non-3GPP网络。

择支持non-3GPP接入的目标UP功能实体。
在一种可能的设计中,该UE的non-3GPP接入能力包括:该UE支持多接入、该UE支持无线保真Wifi接入、该UE支持IPSec的能力、该UE支持固网接入的能力、该UE支持非授权频谱的接入能力、或该UE支持PPPOE的能力中的至少一种。
在一种可能的设计中,在该CP功能实体选择支持non-3GPP接入的目标UP功能实体之后,还包括:当该UE从non-3GPP网络接入的情况下,该CP功能实体接收该UE发送的非接入层NAS信令,该NAS信令中携带分组数据单元PDU会话建立请求消息;该CP功能实体向该目标UP功能实体发送该PDU会话建立请求消息;该CP功能实体接收该目标UP功能实体发送的PDU会话建立应答消息,该PDU会话建立应答消息携带该目标UP功能实体分配的该目标UP功能实体的全量隧道端点标识F-TEID,该目标UP功能实体的F-TEID包括该目标UP功能实体的网络协议IP地址和该目标UP功能实体的隧道端点标识TEID;该CP功能实体向non-3GPP接入网关N3G-GW发送该目标UP功能实体的F-TEID;该CP功能实体接收该N3G-GW分配的该N3G-GW的F-TEID,该N3G-GW的F-TEID包括该N3G-GW的IP地址和该N3G-GW的TEID;该CP功能实体向该目标UP功能实体发送该N3G-GW的F-TEID。这样,该目标UP功能实体可以获知N3G-GW的F-TEID,N3G-GW可以获知目标UP功能实体的F-TEID,从而可以建立N3G-GW和目标UP之间的会话连接。
在一种可能的设计中,该目标UP功能实体的IP地址和该N3G-GW的IP地址为设备粒度的IP地址,以及该目标UP功能实体的TEID和该N3G-GW的TEID为设备粒度的TEID;或者,该目标UP功能实体的IP地址和该N3G-GW的IP地址为会话粒度的IP地址,以及该目标UP功能实体的TEID和该N3G-GW的TEID为会话粒度的TEID。也就是说,本发明申请中的F-TEID不仅可以是设备粒度的F-TEID,也可以是会话粒度的F-TEID。

其中,上述的F-TEID1用于设备内部查找用户上下文,即用户上下文信息所在的具体设备(IP地址对应的设备)的具体处理单板(TEID对应的单板)标识。该F-TEID1可以为设备粒度的F-TEID,即,目标UP功能实体的IP地址为设备粒度的IP地址,目标UP功能实体的TEID为设备粒度的TEID;该F-TEID1也可以为会话粒度的F-TEID,即,目标UP功能实体的
IP地址为会话粒度的IP地址,目标UP功能实体的TEID为会话粒度的TEID,本发明实施例对此不作具体限定。
需要说明的是,这里将目标UP功能实体为3GPP侧的PDU连接分配的目标UP功能实体的F-TEID记作F-TEID1,是为了与下述目标UP功能实体为non-3GPP侧的PDU连接分配的目标UP功能实体的F-TEID进行区分,在此进行统一说明,该说明适用于下述各实施例,以下不再赘述。

S310、CP功能实体通过RAN接入点向UE发送附着响应(attach response)消息,以使得UE接收该附着响应消息。
至此,UE从图1所示的5G网络架构中的3GPP网络接入并且建立PDU会话的过程结束。
上述过程中,CP功能实体在选择支持non-3GPP接入的目标UP功能实体时,考虑了是否允许UE接入non-3GPP网络的因素,在允许UE接入non-3GPP网络的情况下,CP功能实体选择支持non-3GPP接入的目标UP功能实体。由于支持non-3GPP接入的目标UP功能实体与non-3GPP接入网关之间存在如图1所示的接口NG3,因此,当UE从该3GPP网络移动到non-3GPP网络接入时,该目标UP功能实体仍适合继续为UE服务,从而可以保证业务的连续性。
其中,上述S302、S305、S306、S309和S310中CP功能实体的动作可以由图2所示的计算机设备200中的处理器201调用存储器203中存储的应用程序代码来执行,本发明实施例对此不作任何限制。

S314、目标UP功能实体为non-3GPP侧的PDU连接分配目标UP功能实体的F-TEID,记作F-TEID2。该F-TEID2包括目标UP功能实体的IP地址和目标UP功能实体的TEID。

需要说明的是,这里将目标UP功能实体为non-3GPP侧的PDU连接分配的目标UP功能实体的F-TEID记作F-TEID2,是为了与上述目标UP功能实体为3GPP侧的PDU连接分配的目标UP功能实体的F-TEID进行区分,在此进行统一说明,该说明适用于下述各实施例,以下不再赘述。
其中,本发明实施例中的F-TEID1和F-TEID2可能相同,也可能不相同,本发明实施例对此不作具体限定。
S315、目标UP功能实体向CP功能实体发送PDU会话建立响应(PDU session establishment response)消息,该PDU会话建立响应携带F-TEID2,以使得CP功能实体接收该PDU会话建立响应消息。

S319、CP功能实体向目标UP功能实体发送PDU会话更新请求(PDU session modification request)消息,该PDU会话更新请求消息携带N3G-GW的F-TEID,以使得目标UP功能实体接收该PDU会话更新请求消息。
其中,目标UP功能实体在获取N3G-GW的F-TEID之后,可以存储N3G-GW的F-TEID和UE的对应关系,以用于UE在后续的non-3GPP会话或者non-3GPP其他流程中根据该对应关系获取该N3G-GW的F-TEID,本发明实施例对此不作具体限定。
其中,经过步骤S315至步骤S319,目标UP功能实体可以获知N3G-GW的F-TEID,N3G-GW可以获知目标UP功能实体的F-TEID2,从而可以建立N3G-GW和目标UP之间的会话连接。

至此,UE从图1所示的5G网络架构中的non-3GPP网络接入并且建立PDU会话的过程结束。
上述过程中的UP功能实体为上述3GPP接入的情况下选择的目标UP功能实体,由于在上述3GPP接入的情况下,CP功能实体在选择支持non-3GPP接入的目标UP功能实体时,考虑了是否允许UE接入non-3GPP网络的因素,在允许UE接入non-3GPP网络的情况下,CP功能实体选择支持non-3GPP接入的目标UP功能实体。考虑到支持non-3GPP接入的目标UP功能实体与non-3GPP接入网关之间存在如图1所示的接口NG3,因此,当UE从该3GPP网络移动到该non-3GPP网络接入时,该目标UP功能实体仍适合继续为UE服务,从而可以保证业务的连续性。
其中,上述S313、S316和S319中CP功能实体的动作可以由图2所示的计算机设备200中的处理器201调用存储器203中存储的应用程序代码来执行,本发明实施例对此不作任何限制。

至此,UE从图1所示的5G网络架构中的3GPP网络接入并且建立PDU会话的过程结束。
上述过程中,CP功能实体在选择支持non-3GPP接入的目标UP功能实体时,考虑了是否允许UE接入non-3GPP网络的因素,在允许UE接入non-3GPP网络的情况下,CP功能实体选择支持non-3GPP接入的目标UP功能实体。由于支持non-3GPP接入的目标UP功能实体与non-3GPP接入网关之间存在如图1所示的接口NG3,因此,当UE从该3GPP网络移动到non-3GPP网络接入时,该目标UP功能实体仍适合继续为UE服务,从而可以保证业务的连续性。
其中,上述S402、S405、S407、S408、S411和S412中CP功能实体的动作可以由图2所示的计算机设备200中的处理器201调用存储器203中存储的应用程序代码来执行,本发明实施例对此不作任何限制。

同图3所示的实施例的差别在于,本发明实施例中,CP功能实体在3GPP接入的情况下的PDU连接建立流程中完成支持non-3GPP接入的目标UP功能实体的选择,而图3所示的实施例中,CP功能实体在3GPP接入的情况下的附着流程中完成支持non-3GPP接入的目标UP功能实体的选择。另外,本发明实施例中除了可以在附着消息中携带UE的non-3GPP接入能力,或连接的类型指示中的至少一种,还可以在UE发起PDU连接建立时携带UE的non-3GPP接入能力,或连接的类型指示中的至少一种。
在又一种可能的实现方式中,如图5所示,为本发明实施例提供的又一种non-3GPP接入的UP功能实体选择方法流程示意图。是以UE从图1所示的5G网络架构中的3GPP网络接入的情况为例进行说明,涉及到UE、RAN接入点、UP功能实体、CP功能实体和HSS之间的交互,包括如下步骤S501-S511:

其中,上述S502、S505、S506、S509、S510和S511中CP功能实体的动作可以由图2所示的计算机设备200中的处理器201调用存储器203中存储的应用程序代码来执行,本发明实施例对此不作任何限制。
可选的,在上述步骤S511之后,UE还可以从图1所示的5G网络架构中发起non-3GPP接入和PDU会话建立过程,涉及到UE、N3G接入点、目标N3G-GW、UP功能实体和CP功能实体之间的交互,该过程中的UP功能实体为上述3GPP接入的情况下选择的目标UP功能实体,该过程中的N3G-GW为上述3GPP接入的情况下选择的目标N3G-GW,该过程包括如下步骤:
S512、UE与N3G接入点建立连接,发起到目标N3G-GW的IPSec连接。
其中,若步骤S511中的附着响应消息携带的是目标N3G-GW标识不是目标N3G-GW的IP地址,则UE可以基于收到的目标N3G-GW标识通过DNS查询获取该目标N3G-GW的IP地址,进而基于该目标N3G-GW的IP地址,发起到目标N3G-GW的IPSec连接。
若步骤S511中的附着响应消息携带的是目标N3G-GW标识是目标N3G-GW的IP地址,则UE可以直接根据该目标N3G-GW的IP地址,发起到目标N3G-GW的IPSec连接。
其中,UE与N3G-GW建立IPSec例如可以是UE通过N3G接入点向N3G-GW发送IKEv2消息,该IKEv2消息具体可以是IKE_AUTH消息。IKE_AUTH消息中可以携带NAS信令或者EAP信令,本发明实施例对此不做具体限定。本发明实施例以下步骤以该IKE_AUTH消息中可以携带NAS信令为例进行说明。
若步骤S510中选择的目标N3G-GW与目标UP功能实体不可以合一,则本发明实施例后续的步骤可参考图3的步骤S312-S321,区别仅在于将图3的N3G-GW替换为本发明实施例中的目标N3G-GW,本发明实施例在此不再赘述。

至此,UE从图1所示的5G网络架构中的3GPP网络接入并且建立PDU会话的过程结束。
一方面,上述过程中,CP功能实体在选择支持non-3GPP接入的目标UP功能实体时,考虑了是否允许UE接入non-3GPP网络的因素,在允许UE接入non-3GPP网络的情况下,CP功能实体选择支持non-3GPP接入的目标UP功能实体。由于支持non-3GPP接入的目标UP功能实体与non-3GPP接入网关之间存在如图1所示的接口NG3,因此,当UE从该3GPP网络移动到non-3GPP网络接入时,该目标UP功能实体仍适合继续为UE服务,从而可以保证业务的连续性。另一方面,UE从3GPP接入的情况下,还基于UE的位置、或N3G-GW是否与目标UP功能实体合一、或N3G-GW的负载情况等至少一个条件为UE选择目标N3G-GW,使得可以获取离UE较近的、负荷较低的N3G-GW。
其中,上述S602、S605、S607、S608、S611、S612和S613中CP功能实体的动作可以由图2所示的计算机设备200中的处理器201调用存储器203中存储的应用程序代码来执行,本发明实施例对此不作任何限制。
可选的,在上述步骤S613之后,UE还可以从图1所示的5G网络架构中发起non-3GPP接入和PDU会话建立过程,涉及到UE、N3G接入点、目标N3G-GW、UP功能实体和CP功能实
体之间的交互,该过程中的UP功能实体为上述3GPP接入的情况下选择的目标UP功能实体,该过程中的N3G-GW为上述3GPP接入的情况下选择的目标N3G-GW。在步骤S612中选择的目标N3G-GW与目标UP功能实体不可以合一的情况下,本发明实施例后续的步骤可参考图3的步骤S312-S321,区别仅在于将图3的N3G-GW替换为本发明实施例中的目标N3G-GW,本发明实施例在此不再赘述;在步骤S612中选择的目标N3G-GW与目标UP功能实体可以合一的情况下,该过程的步骤S614-S616同图5所示的实施例中的步骤S512-S514,本发明实施例在此不再赘述。
其中,上述S616中CP功能实体的动作可以由图2所示的计算机设备200中的处理器201调用存储器203中存储的应用程序代码来执行,本发明实施例对此不作任何限制。
同图5所示的实施例的差别在于,本发明实施例中,CP功能实体在3GPP接入的情况下的PDU连接建立流程中完成支持non-3GPP接入的目标UP功能实体的选择和目标N3G-GW的选择,而图5所示的实施例中,CP功能实体在3GPP接入的情况下的附着流程中完成支持non-3GPP接入的目标UP功能实体的选择和目标N3G-GW的选择。另外,本发明实施例中除了可以在附着消息中携带UE的non-3GPP接入能力,或连接的类型指示中的至少一种,还可以在UE发起PDU连接建立时携带UE的non-3GPP接入能力,或连接的类型指示中的至少一种。
可选的,在具体实现中,在图5或者图6所示的实施例中,也可以不用CP功能实体基于UE的位置、或N3G-GW是否与目标UP功能实体合一、或N3G-GW的负载情况等至少一个条件为UE选择目标N3G-GW,而是在CP功能实体通过RAN接入点向UE发送的附着响应(attach response)消息中或者PDU会话建立响应(PDU session establishment response)消息中携带目标UP功能实体标识,由UE根据该目标UP功能实体标识来确定该目标N3G-GW。具体可以包括:UE获取该目标UP功能实体标识后,基于DNS查询N3G-GW标识,获得N3G-GW标识列表。对于N3G-GW标识列表中的每个N3G-GW标识,比较该N3G-GW标识对应的N3G-GW的FQDN与目标UP功能实体标识对应的目标UP的FQDN字符串匹配程度,优选与UP功能实体合一的N3G-GW作为目标N3G-GW。比较方式如两者的FQDN字符串完全相同,则为合一节点。否则选择与UP功能实体匹配度最高的N3G-GW作为目标N3G-GW,此N3G-GW与目标UP功能实体的物理位置最近。基于上述方式选择目标N3G-GW之后,后续UE从图1所示的5G网络架构中发起non-3GPP接入和PDU会话建立过程可参考图5或者图6所示的实施例,在此不再赘述。
可选的,在具体实现中,也可以不用在UE接入3GPP网络的情况下选择目标N3G-GW,而是在UE接入non-3GPP网络的情况下选择目标N3G-GW。比如,如图7所示,假设UE从图1所示的5G网络架构中的3GPP网络接入并且建立PDU会话的过程的步骤S701-S710同图3所示的实施例中的步骤S301-S310,则在步骤S710之后,还可以包括如下步骤:
S711、同S311。
S712、同S312。
S713、CP功能实体基于UE的位置、或N3G-GW是否与目标UP功能实体合一、或N3G-GW的负载情况等至少一个条件为UE选择目标N3G-GW。
S714、CP功能实体将目标N3G-GW标识通过如图1所示的NG2接口消息发送给初始N3G-GW,以使得初始N3G-GW接收该目标N3G-GW标识。
其中,该目标N3G-GW标识的相关描述可参考上述实施例,本发明实施例在此不再赘述。
上述NG2接口消息如连接建立请求消息,或NG2消息等。此外,CP功能实体还可以将发
送给UE的NAS信令通过如图1所示的与N3G-GW之间的接口NG2消息发送给N3G-GW。该NAS信令例如可以包含PDU会话建立响应(PDU session establishment response)消息。
S715、初始N3G-GW将步骤S714接收到的CP功能实体发送的NAS信令和目标N3G-GW标识通过IKEv2消息发送给UE,以使得UE接收该NAS信令和目标N3G-GW标识。同时,初始N3G-GW断开与UE的连接
可选的,上述IKEv2消息中还可以携带重定指示。
S716、UE基于收到的目标N3G-GW标识,发起与目标N3G-GW的连接。
可选的,UE也可以基于重定向指示,发起与目标N3G-GW的连接,本发明实施例对此不作具体限定。
其中,UE发起与目标N3G-GW的连接的过程可参考上述图5或者图6所示的实施例,本发明实施例在此不再赘述。
其中,上述S702、S705、S706、S709、S710、S713和S714中CP功能实体的动作可以由图2所示的计算机设备200中的处理器201调用存储器203中存储的应用程序代码来执行,本发明实施例对此不作任何限制。
同图5或者图6所示的实施例的差别在于,本发明实施例中,UE接入non-3GPP网络后,CP功能实体进行N3G-GW重选,并将重新选择的目标N3G-GW标识通知给UE。UE断开与之前初始N3G-GW的连接,发起到目标N3G-GW的IPSec建立流程。其中,重新选择的目标N3G-GW是基于UE的位置、或N3G-GW是否与目标UP功能实体合一、或N3G-GW的负载情况等至少一个条件选择的,使得可以获取离UE较近的、负荷较低的N3G-GW,基于离UE较近的、负荷较低的N3G-GW发起IPSec建立流程。
可选的,在具体实现中,在图7所示的实施例中,也可以不用CP功能实体基于UE的位置、或N3G-GW是否与目标UP功能实体合一、或N3G-GW的负载情况等至少一个条件为UE选择目标N3G-GW,而是在CP功能实体向初始N3G-GW发送的NG2消息中携带目标UP功能实体标识,进而由初始N3G-GW在通过N3G接入点向UE发送的IKEv2消息中携带目标UP功能实体标识,使得UE根据该目标UP功能实体标识来确定该目标N3G-GW。其中,UE根据该目标UP功能实体标识来确定该目标N3G-GW的方式可参考上述实施例,本发明实施例在此不再赘述。基于上述方式选择目标N3G-GW之后,UE可基于该目标N3G-GW标识,发起与目标N3G-GW的连接,具体可参考上述图5或者图6所示的实施例,本发明实施例在此不再赘述。
需要说明的是,在上述N3G-GW重选的过程中,UE从图1所示的5G网络架构中的3GPP网络接入并且建立PDU会话的过程也可以参考图4所示的实施例中的步骤S401-S412,本发明实施例对此不作具体限定。
