Description

一种无人机通信管理方法及装置
本申请要求于2021年01月25日提交中国专利局、申请号为202110099891.0、申请名称为“一种无人机通信管理方法及装置”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。
技术领域
本申请实施例涉及通信领域。并且更具体地,尤其涉及无人机通信管理领域。
背景技术
近年来,无人机应用逐渐普及,从个人娱乐的小型无人机,到各种各样的带来经济价值的无人机,种类繁多。无人机在带来各种经济利益和娱乐消遣的同时,也带来了管理的麻烦。
目前,第三代合作伙伴计划(3rd generation partnership project,3GPP)正在研究联网无人机(unmanned aerial vehicle,UAV)。无人机接入3GPP网络有助于无人机实现远程控制,同时也便于管理。在3GPP的无人机***架构中,无人机和无人机控制器分别接入3GPP网络,两者通过3GPP网络进行通信。由于无人机联网进行无人机控制等操作需要基站核心网的支持,无人机不是在所有区域都可以联网执行飞行任务。因此,无人机在进行命令和控制(command and control,C2)通信前,一般会向无人机***流量管理(UAS traffic management,UTM)或无人机***服务提供商(UAS service supplier,USS)请求授权。若飞行路径上的当前网络能力不支持无人机联网飞行,则会拒绝无人机的C2通信连接建立。
例如,若无人机初始在5G***(5G system,5GS)中注册,则可能在飞行路径授权被拒后,不再尝试飞行路径授权请求。这可能会导致不能充分利用网络资源从而飞行业务无法完成,例如,此情况下演进分组***(evolved packet system,EPS)中的网络能力有可能满足飞行需求。在另外一些情况下,在飞行路径授权被拒后执行去注册,并且在EPS中附着,并再次尝试飞行路径授权请求,这可能会导致ping-pang现象,例如,此情况下EPS中的网络能力可能也无法满足飞行需求。
因此,如何高效合理地管理无人机联网飞行,是一项亟待解决的问题。

业务管理功能网元向策略管理功能网元发送第二消息,相应地,策略管理功能网元接收来自业务管理功能网元第二消息,该第二消息用于请求多个***的网络能力信息。具体地,该第二消息中包括第一区域和/或第一时间范围,应理解,该第一区域包括终端的计划飞行区域,比如出发地点、目的地、途径点等;该第一时间范围包括终端的计划飞行时间范围,比如,起飞时间、降落时间等。本申请实施例对此不作限定。
应理解,第二消息可能是在现有的消息中增加新的内容,也可能是以新的消息类型形式存在,比如第二消息也可以是网络能力订阅或网络能力请求消息,本申请实施例对于消息的存在形式不作限定。
还应理解,第二消息可能是业务管理功能网元直接发送给策略管理功能网元的,也可能是通过其他的网元,比如第二消息可以是先由业务管理功能网元发送给其他网元,再由其他网元发送给策略管理功能网元,本申请实施例对于第二消息如何发送不做限定。
还应理解,这里的其他网元可以是网络开放网元或其他核心网网元,本申请实施例在此不作限定。
需要说明的是,网络开放网元是一种用于传输内外部信息的网元,示例性的,在4G中,该网络开放网元可以是服务能力开放功能(service capability exposure function,SCEF)网元,在5G中,该网络开放网元可以是网络开放功能网元,网络开放网元还可以是无人机飞行使能子***(UAV flight enablement subsystem,UFES)网元,本申请实施例对此不作限定。
在一种可能的实现方式中,该第二消息可能是进行转换后的消息。具体地,网络开放 网元将第二消息中以地理形式表示的位置信息转换为小区标识或追踪区域标识列表的形式表示的位置信息,再将位置信息小区标识或追踪区域标识列表的形式表示的第二消息发送策略管理功能网元。应理解,网络开放网元也可以不对位置信息进行转换,将位置信息以地理形式表示的第二消息直接转发给策略管理功能网元,本申请实施例对此不作限定。
还应理解,S310步骤是一个可选的步骤,可以理解为业务管理功能网元可以不向策略管理功能网元请求多个***的网络能力信息。
在S320中,策略管理功能网元确定多个***的网络能力信息。
多个***是可供终端选择的***,比如5GS、EPS等,该多个***还包括终端的当前接入***。具体地,策略管理功能网元可能具有多个***中用于保护网络中的其他终端免受终端操作(如无人机相关操作)干扰的移动限制信息列表,比如在某些区域用于飞行中的C2通信的UAV连接是不优选的或应该被禁止的,这里的移动限制信息列表中可能包括允许终端通过网络获取网络服务的区域信息或不允许终端通过网络获取网络服务的区域信息。同时移动限制信息列表中还可能包含时间信息,即允许或不允许终端通过网络获取网络服务的时间范围。除此之外,移动限制信息列表中可能还具有多个***中网络覆盖的情况,比如在某些区域存在或不存在为C2通信提供网络服务的网络覆盖。同时移动限制信息列表中还可能包含时间信息,即在某个时间范围内存在或不存在为C2通信提供网络服务的网络覆盖。因此,策略管理功能网元根据终端的飞行路径信息能够确定多个***的网络能力信息。
应理解,多个***可以是5GS***或EPS***,也可以是其他***,本申请实施例对此不作限定。
还应理解,网络能力信息可以是允许或不允许的追踪区域标识/小区标识列表(可能包含时间信息,即允许或不允许的时间范围),也可以是存在为C2通信提供网络覆盖的追踪区域标识/小区标识列表(可能包含时间信息,即存在或不存在的时间范围)。网络能力信息除了上述区域信息,还可能包括高度信息。网络能力信息包括但不限定于上述的网络覆盖和移动限制信息等,本申请实施例对此不作限定。
在S330中,业务管理功能网元接收来自策略管理功能网元的第一消息。
具体地,策略管理功能网元根据终端的飞行路径确定多个***的网络能力信息,并向业务管理功能网元发送第一消息,该第一消息包括多个***的网络能力信息,相应地,业务管理功能网元接收来自策略管理功能网元的第一消息。
应理解,该第一消息可以由策略管理功能网元直接发送给业务管理功能网元,也可以由策略管理功能网元发送给其他网元,再由其他网元转发给业务管理功能网元。本申请对于第一消息的发送方式在此不作限定。这里的其他网元与S310中的其他网元类似,在此不再赘述。
在一种可能的实现方式中,该第一消息可能是进行转换后的消息。具体地,网络开放网元将第一消息中以小区标识或追踪区域标识列表的形式表示的位置信息转换为地理形式表示的位置信息,再将位置信息以地理形式表示的第一消息发送业务管理功能网元。应理解,网络开放网元也可以不对位置信息进行转换,将位置信息以小区标识或追踪区域标识列表的形式表示的第一消息直接转发给业务管理功能网元,本申请实施例对此不作限定。
应理解,对于策略管理功能网元直接向业务管理功能网元发送第一消息的场景,策略 管理功能网元可能将以小区标识或追踪区域标识列表的形式表示的位置信息转换为地理形式表示的位置信息,再将位置信息以地理形式表示的第一消息发送业务管理功能网元。还应理解,策略管理功能网元也可以不对位置信息进行转换,将位置信息以小区标识或追踪区域标识列表的形式表示的第一消息直接转发给业务管理功能网元,本申请实施例对此不作限定。
在S340中,业务管理功能网元向会话管理功能网元发送第一指示信息。
会话管理功能网元是一种用于管理终端通信的网元,示例性的,在4G中,该会话管理功能网元可以是移动管理实体(mobility management entity,MME)网元或控制面分组数据网络网关(packet data network gateway for control plane,PGW-C),在5G中,该会话管理功能网元可以是SMF网元或AMF网元,本申请实施例对此不作限定。
具体地,业务管理功能网元向会话管理功能网元发送第一指示信息,相应地,会话管理功能网元接收来自业务管理功能网元的第一指示信息。该第一指示信息用于指示终端能否通过多个***获得网络服务。
在一种可能的实现方式中,业务管理功能网元在接收到终端飞行路径上的多个***的网络能力信息后,根据多个***中的至少一个第一***的网络能力信息在飞行路径上不支持C2通信,确定终端不能通过该第一***获得网络服务。在此情况下,向会话管理功能网元发送第一指示信息,该第一指示信息指示终端不能通过第一***获得网络服务。
需要说明的是,在飞行路径上不支持C2通信指的是在终端计划飞行的区域内和/或计划飞行的时间范围内,第一***不能为终端在飞行时提供C2通信等所需要的网络服务。例如,第一***不允许在终端计划飞行的区域内和/或计划飞行的时间范围内为终端在飞行时提供C2通信等所需要的网络服务,或者,第一***在终端计划飞行的区域内和/或计划飞行的时间范围内不存在为终端在飞行时提供C2通信等所需要的网络服务的网络覆盖。还应理解,这里的不支持C2通信也可以指部分不支持,例如,在终端计划飞行的部分区域内和/或计划飞行的部分时间内第一***不能为终端在飞行时提供C2通信等所需要的网络服务,本申请实施例对此不作限定。下述不支持或支持的场景均基于上述理解,不再赘述。
在另一种可能的实现方式中,业务管理功能网元在接收到终端飞行路径上的多个***的网络能力信息后,根据多个***中的至少一个第一***的网络能力信息在飞行路径上不支持C2通信,确定终端不能通过该第一***获得网络服务,但是多个***中的第二***的网络能力信息在飞行路径上支持C2通信,第一***与第二***没有交集。在此情况下,向会话管理功能网元发送第一指示信息,该第一指示信息指示终端能够通过该第二***获得网络服务。
在另一种可能的实现方式中,业务管理功能网元在接收到终端的路径上的多个***的网络能力信息后,根据多个***中的任意一个***的网络能力信息在飞行路径上不支持C2通信,确定终端不能通过任意一个***获得网络服务。在此情况下,向会话管理功能网元发送第一指示信息,该第一指示信息指示终端不能通过多个***中的任意一个***获得网络服务。
在一种可能的实现方式中,业务管理功能网元根据接收到的多***的网络能力信息确定终端飞行路径上的部分小区或追踪区域上的网络能力不支持C2通信,但终端飞行路径 上支持C2通信的部分小区或追踪区域可以支持终端飞行,例如网络能力支持C2通信的小区或追踪区域相连。则业务管理功能网元认为UAV可以绕过其中的某些不支持C2通信的地理位置区域完成飞行任务。需要说明的是,业务管理功能网元可根据本地配置确定是否可以在部分小区或追踪区域的网络能力不支持C2通信时,确定无人机能够联网完成飞行任务。
在另一种可能的实现方式中,业务管理功能网元还可以向网络开放功能网元指示偏好的***,例如,5GS中网络能力支持C2通信,而EPS中网络能力不支持C2通信,则业务管理功能网元指示偏好5GS。而网络开放网元能够感知当前UAV接入的***,比如当前UAV接入的是5GS,则向会话管理功能网元发送网络能力支持指示信息用于指示网络能力可以支持终端通过当前***获得网络服务,否则向会话管理功能网元发送重定向指示信息。
在另一种可能的实现方式中,若网络开放网元不感知当前UAV接入的***,则将偏好的***发送给其他网元。本申请实施例对此不作限定。
在另一种可能的实现方式中,该第一指示信息也可以是网络能力信息,示例性的,业务管理功能网元在接收到终端飞行路径上的网络能力信息后,可以直接将多个***的网络能力信息发送给会话管理功能网元,由会话管理功能网元根据多个***的网络能力信息,确定发送第一指示信息,本申请在此不再赘述。
需要说明的是,该第一指示信息也可由策略管理功能网元发送给会话管理功能网元。具体地,策略管理功能网元确定多个***的网络能力信息,根据多个***的网络能力信息在飞行路径上是否支持C2通信,确定向会话管理功能网元发送第一指示信息。本申请实施例对此不作限定。
在一种可能的实现方式中,策略管理功能网元根据多个***中的至少一个第一***的网络能力信息在飞行路径上不支持C2通信,确定终端不能通过第一***获得网络服务,该第一***包括终端的当前接入***。在此情况下,向会话管理功能网元发送第一指示信息,该第一指示信息指示终端不能通过第一***获得网络服务。
在另一种可能的实现方式中,策略管理功能网元根据多个***中的至少一个第一***的网络能力信息在飞行路径上不支持C2通信,确定终端不能通过第一***获得网络服务,该第一***包括终端的当前接入***。但是多个***中的第二***的网络能力信息在飞行路径上支持C2通信,第一***与第二***没有交集。在此情况下,向会话管理功能网元发送第一指示信息,该第一指示信息指示终端重定向到该第二***获得网络服务。
在另一种可能的实现方式中,策略管理功能网元根据多个***中的任意一个***的网络能力信息在飞行路径上均不支持C2通信,确定终端不能通过任意一个***获得网络服务,在此情况下,向会话管理功能网元发送第一指示信息,该第一指示信息指示终端不能通过任意一个***获得网络服务。
应理解,策略管理功能网元也可以直接将多个***的网络能力信息发送给会话管理功能网元,由会话管理功能网元根据多个***的网络能力信息,确定发送第一指示信息,本申请在此不再赘述。
在另一种可能的实现方式中,策略管理功能网元也可以根据接收到的多***的网络能力信息确定即使终端在飞行路径上的部分小区或追踪区域上的网络能力不支持C2通信也 可以完成飞行,比如在任意飞行起始点和目的地之间都可以规划一条路径,网络能力均支持这条路径上经过的小区或追踪区域。应理解,策略管理功能网元可以根据本地配置或者来自业务管理功能网元的指示来确定是否可以在部分小区或追踪区域的网络能力不支持C2通信时,确定无人机能够联网完成飞行任务。
在S350中,会话管理功能网元根据第一指示信息向终端发送第三消息。
具体地,会话管理功能网元根据接收到的第一指示信息向终端发送第三消息,相应地,终端接收第三消息。第三消息可以是会话建立/修改接受消息、会话建立/修改拒绝消息、连接建立/修改接受消息、连接建立/修改拒绝消息、会话释放消息或连接释放消息,也可以是其他类型的消息,本申请实施例对此不作限定。应理解,第一指示信息可以是业务管理功能网元或策略管理功能网元发送的,本申请实施例对第一指示信息的来源在此不作限定。
需要说明的是,这里的会话或连接,分别指的是5GS中的协议数据单元(protocol data unit,PDU)会话,EPS的分组数据网络(packet data network,PDN)连接。这里的会话或连接可能用于C2通信,即UAV和UAVC之间的通信。
应理解,第三消息中可以携带原因值,原因值对应的可以是网络能力不支持或重定向指示,下面对这两种不同的原因值对应的具体情况分别进行介绍。
对于原因值为网络能力不支持的情况:
在一种可能的实现方式中,会话管理功能网元接收到的第一指示信息指示终端不能通过第一***获得网络服务,在此情况下,会话管理功能网元向终端发送第三消息,第三消息中对应的原因值为网络能力不支持,原因值可能同时指示不支持的***,即第一***不支持。应理解,该第一***包括终端的当前接入***。则终端不再尝试在第一***建立与UAVC之间用于C2通信的会话。
在另一种可能的实现方式中,会话管理功能网元接收到的第一指示信息指示终端不能通过多个***中的任意一个***获得网络服务。会话管理功能网元向终端发送第三消息,第三消息中对应的原因值为网络能力不支持,原因值可能同时指示不再尝试向当前***以及其他***获取网络服务。则终端不再尝试在任意一个***中建立与UAVC之间用于C2通信的会话。
对于原因值为重定向指示的情况:
在一种可能的实现方式中,会话管理功能网元接收到的第一指示信息指示终端不能通过第一***获得网络服务,第一***包括终端的当前接入***,但是能够通过第二***获得网络服务。在这种情况下,会话管理功能网元向终端发送第三消息,第三消息中对应的原因值为重定向指示。则终端可能采取多种措施离开当前***重定向接入到重定向指示的***,即重定向接入到第二***。在这种场景下,原因值可以直接指示可以重定向的第二***,第二***包括一个或多个***。或者原因值可以不直接指示可以重定向的第二***。应理解,本申请实施例对此不作限定。示例性的,若原因值指示重定向到EPS,则终端离开当前***,重定向到EPS。
需要说明的是,终端离开当前***的方式可以包括去使能N1模式能力,去注册,去使能E-UTRA能力,去附着等方式,应理解,本申请实施例对此不作限定。
在另一种可能的实现方式中,在网络能力不支持的场景下,会话管理功能网元可能提 供一个定时器,该定时器可以包含当前尝试接入的***,在这个定时器超时后,终端可再次在该***中尝试建立与UAVC之间用于C2通信的会话。
