- the core network entity AMF always initiates a terminal wireless capability check request message, and the NG-RAN Node base station checks the current wireless capability and The function configuration of the network side is used for judgment, and the judgment result is further fed back to the AMF. Therefore, when the function configuration inside the NG-RAN node changes, or the UE moves to a new target NG-RAN NodeNode base station, the AMF must re-initiate multiple NG Adaptation Protocol (NGAP) UE Radio Capability Check procedures.
- NGAP NG Adaptation Protocol
- the AMF may be out of step with the current NG-RAN Node in the state of supporting the IMSVoice service capability, which will lead to the subsequent follow-up of the IMSVoice service.

- Single connection is a special case of only considering the situation of the MN (or M-Node, M-NG, RAN-Node) on the primary base station side in the dual connection mode, that is, deleting the secondary base station.
- the UE can simultaneously establish and maintain two independent wireless link connections with two NG-RAN base stations on the air interface.
- Radio Link air interface data transmission channel
- One base station is called the master base station MN (Master Node ), Another base station is called the secondary base station SN (Secondary Node), and MN and SN can be on the NG interface, and at the same time with the core network user plane network element entity UPF, establish and maintain two independent network-side NG-U connection (network Data transmission channel), but only the MN main base station can establish and maintain an NG-C connection with the core network control plane entity AMF.
- the related architecture is shown in FIG. 2.
- the 5G core network element control plane connection (Next Generation-Control Plane (NG-C) for short), NG-RAN base station control plane connection (Xn-Control Plane (Xn-C) for short) and air interface control Uu-Control Plane (Uu-C for short) represents the control plane connection between different network element nodes, which is used to transmit network control signaling

- Xn-User Plane for short between NG-RAN base stations (Xn-U) and Uu-User Plane for short (Uu-U) represent different network element nodes
- the user plane connection is used to transmit user service data.
- NG-U provides a data transmission channel between the UPF and the MN main base station. It is used to transmit the anchor point at the MN-side Protocol Data Unit Session (referred to as PDU Session) or Quality of Service Flows. , Referred to as QoS Flows) for uplink and downlink user service data packets; similarly, NG-U (SN) provides a data transmission channel between User Plane Function (UPF) and SN secondary base station, It is used to transmit the uplink and downlink user service data packets carried by the anchor point on the SN side of the "shunted" protocol data unit layer PDU Session or quality of service flow QoS Flows.
- PDU Session MN-side Protocol Data Unit Session
- QoS Flows Quality of Service Flows
- the multiple data transmission channels on both sides of the MN and SN are established or modified interactively through the NG-C + Xn-C control plane signaling flow. Since there is no NG-C control plane connection between SN and AMF / SMF, all configuration information on the SN secondary base station side must interact with the MN main base station through the Xn-C control plane link, or retransmit through the MN relay To AMF / SMF.
- AMF / SMF can only know the UE capabilities and Whether the function configuration can effectively support the IMS Voice service; but the AMF / SMF and the MN master base station cannot know whether the SN-side UE capabilities and the SN-side local function configuration can effectively support the IMS Voice service. If the offloaded secondary base station does not support it, the service will fail. Therefore, for security reasons, AMF / SMF and MN will not offload PDU Session / QoS Flows containing IMS Voice services to the SN secondary base station side.
- the base station attempts to carry the IMS Voice service, as shown in FIG. 3. If the MN main base station cannot support the IMS Voice service, the terminal will be forced to exit the current 5G dual / multi-connection operation and fall back to the old RAT network. This will cause Inter-system handover or redirect redirection between systems. It brings a lot of process signaling, and because the comprehensive performance of the dropped 4G / 3G / 2G network is not as good as the current 5G network, it will also reduce the user's business experience.
- the similar NGAP UE Radio Capability Check process is transplanted and applied to the Xn interface, but it is always initiated by the primary base station MN, and the secondary base station SN is configured according to the current UE wireless capabilities and SN network side functions issued by the MN, and then A judgment result is further fed back to the MN. If the functional configuration of the terminal UE's current serving SN changes or the UE moves to a new target SN, the MN must re-initiate the NG-RAN Adaptation Protocol (Xn AP) to the SN multiple times.
- Xn AP NG-RAN Adaptation Protocol
- the UE ’s Radio Capability Check process can fail to synchronize the service MN with the current SN in supporting the IMS Voice service capability status, which will cause subsequent establishment of the IMS Voice service to fail. And other adverse consequences.
- IMS Voice service is abstracted into some kind of "special user service” (also known as “target service”), that is, this type of service requires some special optional capability functions of the network side and the terminal UE to support, Then, it can be targeted at more "special user services” in the future, such as IMSVoice. Therefore, this application aims to do general processing for more "special user services” in the future, and is not limited to IMSVoice. Business, which reduces unnecessary new process design.

- the tedious steps of the wireless capability checking process of the terminal in the related technology are solved, and it is impossible to know in time whether the current functional configuration on the serving base station side supports the target service, and thus it is not possible to distribute and carry user service data in the next-generation wireless access network in a balanced and effective manner.
- the problem of streaming achieves the effect that the upper-layer network entity flexibly establishes or offloads the target service to the serving base station side, avoids unnecessary cross-system fallback processing of the terminal UE, and achieves the load balancing of user service data flows in the next-generation wireless access network.
- the premise of the above method is that the default terminal supports the target service.

Description
本申请要求在2018年07月20日提交中国专利局、申请号为201810805850.7的中国专利申请的优先权,该申请的全部内容通过引用结合在本申请中。
本申请涉及移动通讯技术领域,具体而言,涉及一种控制信令的发送方法及装置、服务基站、存储介质、电子装置。
对于第五代(5 Generation,简称为5G)下一代无线接入网络(Next Generation Radio Access Network,简称为NG-RAN)***,网络侧和终端UE可选地支持语音类业务,当有一方不能支持的时候采取向旧无线接入制式(Radio Access Type,简称为RAT)制式网络回落的处理方式。5G***在NG接口引入了终端无线能力检查流程(UE Radio Capability Check),流程如附图1,具体为:5GC控制面实体接入移动功能(Access Mobility Function,简称为AMF)向NG-RAN Node(gNB或ng-eNB)发送终端无线能力检查请求消息(UE RADIO CAPABILITY CHECK REQUEST),基于该消息,NG-RAN Node对当前正在服务的UE的无线能力和网络侧功能配置进行判定,确定该终端能否支持互联网协议多媒体***语音类(IP Multimedia Subsystem,简称为IMS Voice)业务。当NG-RAN Node内部的功能配置发生变化,或者UE移动到新目标NG-RAN Node基站,AMF必须重新发起多次下一代适配协议(NG Adaptation Protocol,简称为NGAP)UE Radio Capability Check流程,才能获得网络侧单基站或多基站最新的IMS Voice业务支持能力结果,否则AMF将可能和当前NG-RAN Node在支持IMS Voice业务能力的状态上发生失步,进而会导致IMS Voice业务的后续建立失败等不良后果。
在5G***中,终端UE支持单连接(Single Connectivity,简称为SC)和双/多连接(Dual/Multiple Connectivity,简称为DC/MC)配置和操作功能。但只有主基站(Master Node,MN)能和核心网控制面实体AMF建立和保持NG-C连接,相关架构如附图2所示。如果终端UE当前服务辅基站(Secondary Node,SN)内部的功能配置发生变化,或者UE移动到新目标SN上的时候,MN必须向SN重新发起多次NG-RAN基站间适配协议(Xn Adaptation Protocol,简称为Xn AP)UE Radio Capability Check流程,才能获得SN侧最新的IMS Voice业务支持能力结果,否则服务MN将可能和当前SN在支持IMS Voice业务能力状态 上发生失步,进而会导致IMS Voice业务的后续分流建立失败等不良后果。
此外如果把上述IMS Voice业务抽象成某种“特殊类用户业务”(也可以称为“目标业务”),即该类业务需要网络侧和终端UE某些特殊可选的能力功能集合去支持,则可以针对未来更多的“特殊类用户业务”,比如做类似IMS Voice一样的处理,因此本申请旨在面向未来更多的“特殊类用户业务”做通用化处理,而不局限于IMS Voice业务,这样可以减少不必要的新流程设计。
针对在面向5G的多种连接配置下的终端UE,上层网络实体(AMF/SMF或主基站)需要多个信令开销才能获取服务基站(主基站或辅基站)侧的当前功能配置,判定其能否支持“目标业务”,导致的终端无线能力检查流程步骤繁琐,无法及时获知服务基站侧的当前功能配置是否支持目标业务,进而无法均衡有效地在下一代无线接入网络内分配承载用户业务数据流的问题,尚没有较好的解决办法。

通过本申请,当终端与服务基站建立连接之后,服务基站向逻辑上层或逻辑上游发送控制信令的同时,在原始控制信令中进行信元内容的扩展,将“该服务基站侧在当前节点配置和状态条件下是否支持目标业务”的指示信息加进原始控制信令中,此时服务基站向逻辑上层或逻辑上游发送的就是携带了上述指示信息的控制信令,即指示基站是否支持目标业务的指示信息是随路控制信令进行发送的,并不增加新的信令开销,同时主动让上层网络实体知晓该服务基站侧在当前节点配置和状态条件下是否支持目标业务,避免了上层网络实体进行终端无线能力检查的多次信令开销,同时可以让上层网络实体及时获知能否对服务基站下发目标业务。因此,可以解决相关技术中终端无线能力检查流程步骤繁琐,无法及时获知服务基站侧的当前功能配置是否支持目标业务,进而无法均衡有效地在下一代无线接入网络内分配承载用户业务数据流的问题,达到上层网络实体将目标业务灵活地建立或分流到服务基站侧,避免终端UE不必要的跨***回落处理,实现用户业务数据流在下一代无线接入网络内的负荷均衡等效果。

***(4 Generation,简称为4G)或称长期演进(Long Term Evolution,简称为LTE)蜂窝移动通讯***中,包含4G核心网(Core Network,简称为CN)和无线接入网络(Radio Access Network,简称为RAN),其中4G CN包含移动管理节点(Mobility Management Entity,简称为MME),服务网关(Serving Gateway,简称为SGW),公共数据网关(PDN Gateway,简称为PGW)等基本网元节点,而RAN包括演进基站(evolved Node B,简称为eNB)。在4G之后的第五代(5 Generation,简称为5G)蜂窝移动通讯***中,包含了下一代核心网(5G Core Network,简称为5GC)和下一代无线接入网络(Next Generation Radio Access Network,简称为NG-RAN),其中5GC包含接入移动功能(Access Mobility Function,简称为AMF),会话管理功能(Session Management Function,简称为SMF)和用户面功能(User Plane Function,简称为UPF)等基本网元节点,而NG-RAN至少包含两种不同无线接入制式(Radio Access Type,简称为RAT)类型的基站,即:基于4G eNB继续演进的ng-eNB,其空口仍然支持进化的UMTS(通用移动通信***)陆地无线接入(Evolved-UMTS Terrestrial Radio Access,简称为E-UTRA制式),和全新设计的gNB,其空口支持新的无线(New Radio,简称为NR)制式基站。NG-RAN基站通过NG接口和5GC连接(包含NG-C控制面连接和NG-U用户面连接),而NG-RAN基站之间通过Xn接口连接(包含Xn-C控制面连接和Xn-U用户面连接),上述控制面连接用于传输网元节点之间的控制信令,而用户面连接用于传输用户业务数据和数据包。
对于***(4 Generation,简称为4G)或称长期演进(Long Term Evolution,简称为LTE)***,由于早期设计重点面向分组交换(Packet Switch,简称为PS)域的宽带数据类业务,如:大型数据文件的传输,各种互联网数据应用业务等,因此在4G LTE CN和RAN层面,并不能有效地支持用户语音类(Voice)业务。当用户需要进行语音类业务的时候,通常采取4G向3G或2G网络语音类业务回落(Fallback)的方式处理,该回落流程会把终端(User Equipment,简称为UE)迁移回到旧RAT制式的网络内。在LTE后续演进版本中,4G CN和RAN层面通过自身功能的补充和增强,如半静态调度增强(Semi-static scheduling enhancements,简称为SPS),时隙绑定(TTI bundling)等,能够可选地支持用户语音类业务,如互联网协议多媒体***语音类(IP Multimedia Subsystem,简称为IMS Voice),此时用户语音类业务可以直接在4G网络中端到端地被承载和服务,但前提是网络侧和终端UE都要能支持IMS Voice相应的语音增强功能集合。
对于5G NG-RAN***,类似地,网络侧和终端UE也都可选地支持语音类业务,当有一方不能支持的时候也采取向旧RAT制式网络回落的处理方式。5G***在NG接口引入了终端无线能力检查流程(UE Radio Capability Check),流程如附图1,具体为:5GC控制面实体AMF向NG-RAN Node(gNB或ng-eNB)发送终端无线能力检查请求消息(UE RADIO CAPABILITY CHECK REQUEST),基于该消息,NG-RAN Node对当前正在服务的UE的无线能力和网络侧功能配置进行判定,确定该终端能否支持IMS Voice业务。判定结束后,通过终端无线能力检查回复消息(UE RADIO CAPABILITY CHECK RESPONSE),向AMF返回IMS Voice支持指示(IMS VoiceSupport Indicator)。如果IMS Voice Support Indicator取值为Supported,则表示AMF后续能够直接在5G网络中为该UE建立承载IMS Voice业务;如果IMS Voice Support Indicator 取值为Not Supported,则表示AMF后续不能为该UE直接在5G网络中建立承载IMS Voice业务,NG-RAN也会采取5G向4G或3G或2G网络语音类业务回落Fallback的方式处理。上述UE Radio Capability Check终端无线能力检查流程,每次总是由核心网实体AMF发起终端无线能力检查请求消息,NG-RAN Node基站根据AMF下发的终端无线能力检查请求消息对当前UE无线能力和网络侧功能配置进行判定,进一步产生判定结果反馈给AMF。因此当NG-RAN Node内部的功能配置发生变化,或者UE移动到新目标NG-RAN Node基站,AMF必须重新发起多次下一代适配协议(NG Adaptation Protocol,简称为NGAP)UE Radio Capability Check流程,才能获得网络侧单基站或多基站最新的IMS Voice业务支持能力结果,否则AMF将可能和当前NG-RAN Node在支持IMS Voice业务能力的状态上发生失步,进而会导致IMS Voice业务的后续建立失败等不良后果。
在5G***中,终端UE支持单连接(Single Connectivity,简称为SC)和双/多连接(Dual/Multiple Connectivity,简称为DC/MC)配置和操作功能。在SC模式下,UE在空口和网络侧都只有一条数据传输通道(无线链接),而在DC/MC模式下,UE在空口或网络侧均有两条或两条以上的数据传输通道(无线链接)。为了便于理解,下面以UE双连接DC为例进行说明,单连接就是在双连接模式下只考虑主基站侧MN(或M-Node,M-NG-RAN Node)情况的特例,即删除辅基站SN(或S-Node,S-NG-RAN Node)侧所有相关的辅数据传输通道/辅无线链路,而多连接则是双连接模式下在更多条链路配置和操作上的进一步维度扩展。在DC双连接模式下,UE可以在空口同时与两个NG-RAN基站分别建立和保持两条独立的无线链路连接Radio Link(空口数据传输通道),一个基站称为主基站MN(Master Node),另一个基站称为辅基站SN(Secondary Node),而MN和SN可以在NG接口,同时和核心网用户面网元实体UPF,建立和保持两条独立的网络侧NG-U连接(网络数据传输通道),但只有MN主基站能和核心网控制面实体AMF建立和保持NG-C连接,相关架构如附图2所示。在附图2中,5G核心网元控制面连接(Next Generation-Control Plane,简称为NG-C)、NG-RAN基站间控制面连接(Xn-Control Plane,简称为Xn-C)和空口控制面连接(Uu-Control Plane,简称为Uu-C)表示了不同网元节点之间的控制面连接,即用来传输网络控制信令,5G核心网元用户面连接(Next Generation-User Plane,简称为NG-U)、NG-RAN基站间用户面连接(Xn-User Plane,简称为Xn-U)和空口用户面连接(Uu-User Plane,简称为Uu-U)表示了不同网元节点之间的用户面连接,即用来传输用户业务数据。NG-U(MN)提供了UPF和MN主基站之间的数据传输通道,用于传输锚点在MN侧协议数据单元层(ProtocolDataUnit Session,简称为PDU Session)或服务质量流(Quality of Service Flows,简称为QoS Flows)上承载的上下行用户业务数据包;类似地,NG-U(SN)提供了用户面功能(User Plane Function,简称为UPF)和SN辅基站之间的数据传输通道,用于传输锚点在SN侧“被分流的”协议数据单元层PDU Session或服务质量流QoS Flows上承载的上下行用户业务数据包。上述MN和SN两侧的多个数据传输通道是通过NG-C+Xn-C控制面信令流程来交互建立或修改完成的。由于SN和AMF/SMF之间没有NG-C控制面连接,因此SN辅基站侧的所有配置信息,都必须通过Xn-C控制面链路,和MN主基站交互,或者通过MN中继再转发到AMF/SMF。由于当前3GPP公开的NG接口UE Radio Capability Check流程,仅仅面向5G单连接操作下的终端UE,而不面向5G双/多连接操作下的UE,因此AMF/SMF只能知道MN侧的UE能力和功能配置,能否有效支持IMS Voice业务;但AMF/SMF和MN主基站是不能知道SN侧的UE能力和SN侧本地功能配置,能否有效支持IMS Voice业务。如果被分流的辅基站不支持,会导致服务失败,所以为了安全起见,AMF/SMF和MN不会把含有IMS Voice业务的PDU Session/QoS Flows分流到SN辅基站侧,只能一直让MN主基站去尝试承载IMS Voice业务,如附图3所示。如果MN主基站也不能支持IMS Voice业务,则终端会被迫退出当前的5G双/多连接操作,回退到旧RAT制式网络中,这会造成***间Inter-system切换Handover或重定向Redirection操作,带来大量流程信令,而且由于回落去的4G/3G/2G网络各方面综合性能都不如当前的5G网络,还会降低用户的业务体验。同理,如果类似上述NGAP UE Radio Capability Check流程被移植应用到Xn接口上,但还总是由主基站MN发起,辅基站SN根据MN下发的当前UE无线能力和SN网络侧功能配置,再进一步产生判定结果反馈给MN。如果终端UE当前服务SN内部的功能配置发生变化,或者UE移动到新目标SN上的时候,MN必须向SN重新发起多次NG-RAN基站间适配协议(Xn Adaptation Protocol,简称为Xn AP)UE Radio Capability Check流程,才能获得SN侧最新的IMS Voice业务支持能力结果,否则服务MN将可能和当前SN在支持IMS Voice业务能力状态上发生失步,进而会导致IMS Voice业务的后续分流建立失败等不良后果。
此外如果把上述IMS Voice业务抽象成某种“特殊类用户业务”(也可以称为“目标业务”),即该类业务需要网络侧和终端UE某些特殊可选的能力功能集合去支持,则可以针对未来更多的“特殊类用户业务”,比如做类似IMS Voice一样的处理,因此本申请旨在面向未来更多的“特殊类用户业务”做通用化处理,而不局限于IMS Voice业务,这样可以减少不必要的新流程设计。

存储器104可用于存储计算机程序,例如,应用软件的软件程序以及模块,如本发明实施例中的控制信令的发送方法对应的计算机程序,处理器102通过运行存储在存储器104内的计算机程序,从而执行各种功能应用以及数据处理,即实现上述的方法。存储器104可包括高速随机存储器,还可包括非易失性存储器,如一个或者多个磁性存储装置、闪存、或者其他非易失性固态存储器。在一些实例中,存储器104可进一步包括相对于处理器102远程设置的存储器,这些远程存储器可以通过网络连接至移动终端10。上述网络的实例包括但不限于互联网、企业内部网、局域网、移动通信网及其组合。

在本实施例中提供了一种运行于上述移动终端的控制信令的发送方法,图5是本发明实施例的控制信令的发送方法的流程图,如图5所示,该流程包括如下步骤:
步骤S502,第一服务基站对原始控制信令进行信元内容的扩展,得到携带指示信息的控制信令,其中,指示信息用于指示第一服务基站在当前节点配置和状态条件下是否支持目标业务,所述第一服务基站与终端已建立连接。
步骤S504,第一服务基站向逻辑上层或逻辑上游发送携带指示信息的控制信令。
通过上述步骤,解决了相关技术中终端无线能力检查流程步骤繁琐,无法及时获知服务基站侧的当前功能配置是否支持目标业务,进而无法均衡有效地在下一代无线接入网络内分配承载用户业务数据流的问题,达到上层网络实体将目标业务灵活地建立或分流到服务基站侧,避免终端UE不必要的跨***回落处理,实现用户业务数据流在下一代无线接入网络内的负荷均衡等效果。需要 说明的是,上述方法的前提是默认终端支持目标业务,在第一服务基站获取终端的配置信息,了解终端支持目标业务时,第一服务基站再对自身是否支持目标业务进行判定,然后将指示信息发送至逻辑上层或逻辑上游。指示信息中可以同时携带终端和第一服务基站在当前节点的配置及状态条件,也可以只携带第一服务基站在当前节点的配置及状态条件。指示基站是否支持目标业务的指示信息是随路控制信令进行发送的,并不增加新的信令开销,同时主动让上层网络实体知晓该服务基站侧在当前节点配置和状态条件下是否支持目标业务。

需要说明的是,此处的双/多连接操作指的是终端同时连接两个或多个服务基站,当终端同时连接两个服务基站时,称为双连接操作,此时两个服务基站包括一个主基站MN和一个辅基站SN,当终端同时连接多个服务基站时,称为多连接操作,此时包括一个主基站MN和多个辅基站SN。
图8是本发明实施例在UE双/多单连接下增强的已有NGAP流程消息的内容发送示意图。如图8所示,上述操作可以理解为,对于正处于双/多连接配置操作的终端UE,NG-RAN节点基于当前NGAP:PDU SESSION RESOURCE MODIFY INDICATION(PDU会话资源修改指示),和/或UE CAPABILITY INFO INDICATION(UE能力信息指示),和/或UPLINK NAS TRANSPORT(上行NAS传输)已有消息,进行信元内容的添加或扩展,直接向AMF上报:含有当前单个或多个服务NG-RAN nodes能否分别支持“特殊类用户业务”的能力指示信息。
可选地,第一服务基站向逻辑上层或逻辑上游发送携带指示信息的控制信令包括:第一服务基站向核心网发送携带指示信息的所述控制信令。此处的核心网至少包括AMF和/或SMF。

图9是本发明实施例在UE双/多单连接下增强的已有XnAP流程消息的内 容发送示意图。如图9所示,上述操作可以理解为,对于正处于双/多连接配置操作的终端UE,SN基于当前XnAP:S-NODE ADDITION REQUEST ACKNOWLEDGE(辅基站添加请求确认),或S-NODE MODIFICATION REQUEST ACKNOWLEDGE(辅基站修改请求确认),或S-NODE MODIFICATION REQUIRED(辅基站修改需求)已有消息,进行信元内容的添加或扩展,直接向主基站MN上报:含有当前单个或多个辅基站SN能否分别支持“特殊类用户业务”的能力指示信息。
可选地,第一服务基站向逻辑上层或逻辑上游发送携带指示信息的所述控制信令包括:第一服务基站向与第一服务基站对应的主基站MN发送携带指示信息的控制信令。
可选地,指示信息至少用于指示第一服务基站在以下之一的无线接入制式RAT下是否支持目标业务:NR RAT,E-UTRA RAT。上述对应于不同RAT制式的能否支持“特殊类用户业务”的能力指示信息,可以通过单个联合信元或者多个独立的信元承载。
可选地,第一服务基站对原始控制信令进行信元内容的扩展包括以下之一:服务基站在原始控制信令上扩展单个联合信元,其中,单个联合信元用于以联合方式携带指示消息;服务基站在所述原始控制信令上扩展多个独立信元,其中,多个独立信元分别用于以独立方式携带指示消息。
可选地,目标业务至少包括以下之一:互联网协议多媒体***语音类IMS Voice业务,互联网协议多媒体***音频IMS Video业务,互联网协议多媒体***紧急呼叫IMS Emergency call业务。以IMS Voice业务为例进行说明,即指示消息的内容为:IMS Voice Support Indicator=supported or not supported或IMS Voice Support Indicator with S-Node=supported or not supported。
综合上述实施方式的描述,本发明实施例在面向5G单/双/多连接各种配置操作下的终端UE,使得AMF/SMF实体在较少的流程信令开销下,能够及时地知道MN主基站侧的UE能力和当前功能配置,能否支持“特殊类用户业务”,包含IMS Voice业务情况;同时使得MN主基站能够及时地知道SN辅基站侧的UE能力和SN侧当前功能配置,能否支持“特殊类用户业务”,包含IMS Voice业务情况,从而AMF/SMF实体或MN主基站无需重复多次地向对端节点,执行UE Radio Capability Check终端无线能力检查流程,便能安全地将含有“特殊类用户业务”,比如IMS Voice业务的PDU Session/QoS Flows灵活地建立或分流到MN或SN侧,从而避免终端UE不必要的跨***回落处理,实现用户业务数据流在NG-RAN内的负荷均衡等效果。
通过以上的实施方式的描述,本领域的技术人员可以清楚地了解到根据上 述实施例的方法可借助软件加必需的通用硬件平台的方式来实现,当然也可以通过硬件,但很多情况下前者是更佳的实施方式。基于这样的理解,本申请的技术方案可以以软件产品的形式体现出来,该计算机软件产品存储在一个存储介质(如ROM/RAM、磁碟、光盘)中,包括若干指令用以使得一台终端设备(可以是手机,计算机,服务器,或者网络设备等)执行本申请各个实施例所述的方法。
