下面将结合本公开实施例中的附图,对本公开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公开一部分实施例,并不是全部的实施例。基于本公开中的实施例,本领域普通技术人员在没有做出创造性劳动前提下所获得的所有其他实施例,都属于本公开保护的范围。
为了便于更加清晰地理解本公开各实施例的技术方案,首先对本公开各实施例相关的一些技术内容进行介绍。
图1为相关技术提供的终端在组播组内传输组播数据的示意图。如图1 所示,UE1、UE3、UE4和UE6属于同一个VN组,其中,UE1、UE3和UE4属于该VN组中同一个组播组。协议数据单元(Protocol Data Unit,PDU)会话锚点(PDU Session Anchor,PSA)1为UE1和UE4的PDU会话对应的PSA,PSA2为UE3和UE6的PDU会话对应的PSA。UE1经PSA1向UE4发送组播数据,经PSA1和PSA2向UE3发送组播数据。UE1、UE3和UE4加入组播组的过程如图2所示。
图2为相关技术提供的终端请求加入组播组的流程图。如图2所示,UE1、UE3和UE4请求加入组播组的过程包括:
步骤1、组成员UE1、UE3、UE4和UE6分别建立到相同数据网络名称(Data Network Name,DNN)和单个网络切片选择辅助信息(Single Network Slice Selection Assistance Information,S-NSSAI)的PDU会话。
a、会话管理功能(Session Management Function,SMF)在PDU会话建立时向PSA下发如下用户面规则:SMF设置相关的值为“互联网协议(Internet Protocol,IP)组播加入/离开(IP multicast join/leave)”的使用报告规则(Usage Reporting Rule,URR)上报触发器(Reporting trigger)。
b、策略控制功能(Policy Control Function,PCF)向SMF下发策略控制请求触发器(Policy Control Request Trigger)——“终端加入一个组播组(UE join a multicast group)”。
步骤2、UE1使用PDU会话的用户面向其PSA1发送因特网组管理协议(Internet Group Management Protocol,IGMP)加入消息(join message)。
步骤3a、PSA1收到IGMP join message后,根据PDU会话中的N4规则,处理此消息:
若IGMP中包含的IP组播地址信息允许通过PDU会话接入,PSA1将此PDU会话加入请求的组播中;
若SMF向PSA1下发了URR,则PSA1通知SMF,UE1加入一个组播组,并携带IP组播地址信息给SMF;
若IGMP中包含的IP组播地址信息不允许通过此PDU会话接入,那么PSA1就不会将此PDU会话加入到组播组中。
步骤3b、PSA1根据URR向SMF报告“IP组播加入(IP multicast join)”。
步骤3c、SMF向PCF触发会话管理(Session Management,SM)策略修改流程。
步骤4、UE3、UE4请求加入组播组,步骤同上述步骤2-3。
目前5G LAN场景下的组播组建立是基于应用配置的,并且需要UE主动申请加入目标组播组。但是诸如某些应用场景如大型直播通知所有已注册大会的用户直播会议相关消息时,需要UE加入到该会议所在的组播组中,才能接受到会议直播的相关信息。在上述类似场景中,需要某个UE发起建立组播组的过程的方法尚不完善,比如会议通知方作为一个UE,希望建立一个组播组以完成向所有已注册大会的用户发送直播相关信息。
针对现有技术中暂无某个组成员UE主动发起的VN组组内的组播组建立过程相关方案,本公开实施例提供一种组播组建立方法、装置、电子设备及存储介质,可以在PDU会话建立过程中实现UE发起的组播组的建立过程。
示例性地,虽然本文采用5G LAN场景进行举例描述,但这并非限制性的,本领域技术人员所熟知的现有的或者将来的其他类似场景也可以应用本公开所述方案,对此不做限定。
图3为本公开实施例提供的组播组建立方法的流程示意图之一,该方法应用于第一终端,如图3所示,该方法包括如下步骤:
步骤300、发送第一PDU会话建立请求消息,第一PDU会话建立请求消息中包含第一终端的应用层标识和第二终端的应用层标识。
其中,第二终端与第一终端属于同一虚拟网络VN组。
具体地,第一终端为发起建立组播组的任意终端,第二终端为第一终端邀请加入组播组的成员终端。第一终端和第二终端属于同一VN组。其中,第二终端可以包括一个或多个终端。
第一终端需要发起建立组播组的情况下,第一终端可以在其PDU会话建立请求消息(即PDU Session Establishment Request)中携带第一终端的应用层标识和第二终端的应用层标识。从而网络侧可以根据第一终端的应用层标识和第二终端的应用层标识,决定是否允许第一终端建立包含第二终端的组 播组。
在一些实施例中,终端的应用层标识可以是通用公共订阅标识(Generic Public Subscription Identifier,GPSI)。
本公开实施例提供的组播组建立方法,通过在终端发起PDU会话建立请求时携带其想要建立的组播组的终端应用层标识,实现了终端发起的组播组的建立过程,简化了组播组的建立方式,减少了信令交互。
在一些实施例中,发送第一PDU会话建立请求消息之后,该方法还包括:
接收第一PDU会话建立完成消息,第一PDU会话建立完成消息中包含第一信息,第一信息用于指示网络是否允许第一终端建立组播组。
具体地,第一终端发送第一PDU会话建立请求消息之后,网络侧可以根据第一终端的应用层标识和第二终端的应用层标识,决定是否允许第一终端建立包含第二终端的组播组,并向第一终端发送第一PDU会话建立完成消息(即PDU Session Establishment Accept),该第一PDU会话建立完成消息中包含第一信息,指示网络是否允许第一终端建立组播组。
第一终端接收到第一PDU会话建立完成消息之后,便可以得知是否被允许建立组播组,从而进行相应的后续处理。
一种实施方式中,第一终端发送第一PDU会话建立请求消息给AMF,AMF接收到该第一PDU会话建立请求消息后,可以将第一终端的应用层标识和第二终端的应用层标识携带在第一创建会话管理上下文请求消息(即Nsmf PDU Session CreateSMContext Request)中,发送给SMF,SMF接收到第一创建会话管理上下文请求消息之后,便可以根据该第一创建会话管理上下文请求消息,确定是否允许第一终端建立组播组,并在发送给第一终端的第一PDU会话建立完成消息中携带第一信息,指示是否允许第一终端建立组播组。
图4为本公开实施例提供的组播组建立方法的流程示意图之二,该方法应用于会话管理功能,如图4所示,该方法包括如下步骤:
步骤400、接收接入和移动性管理功能发送的第一创建会话管理上下文请求消息,第一创建会话管理上下文请求消息中包含第一终端的应用层标识 和第二终端的应用层标识;其中,第一终端为发起建立组播组的终端,第二终端与第一终端属于同一虚拟网络VN组。
步骤410、根据第一创建会话管理上下文请求消息,确定是否允许第一终端建立组播组。
具体地,本公开所述的会话管理功能包括5G网络***中的SMF,或者未来网络***(比如6G)中具有与SMF类似功能的网元。

第一终端为发起建立组播组的任意终端,第二终端为第一终端邀请加入组播组的成员终端。第一终端和第二终端属于同一VN组。其中,第二终端可以包括一个或多个终端。
第一终端需要发起建立组播组的情况下,第一终端可以在其PDU会话建立请求消息(即PDU Session Establishment Request)中携带第一终端的应用层标识和第二终端的应用层标识。在一些实施例中,终端的应用层标识可以是GPSI。
一种实施方式中,第一终端可以向接入和移动性管理功能发送第一PDU会话建立请求消息,接入和移动性管理功能接收到该第一PDU会话建立请求消息后,可以将第一终端的应用层标识和第二终端的应用层标识携带在第一创建会话管理上下文请求消息(即Nsmf PDU Session CreateSMContext Request)中,发送给会话管理功能。会话管理功能接收到第一创建会话管理上下文请求消息之后,便可以根据该第一创建会话管理上下文请求消息,确定是否允许第一终端建立组播组。
本公开实施例提供的组播组建立方法,会话管理功能可以根据终端发起PDU会话建立请求时携带的终端应用层标识,确定是否允许终端建立组播组,从而可以支持终端发起建立组播组,简化了组播组的建立方式,减少了信令交互。
在一些实施例中,根据第一创建会话管理上下文请求消息,确定是否允许第一终端建立组播组,包括:
根据第一终端的应用层标识,向统一数据管理功能查询第一终端是否被允许建立组播组。
具体地,本公开所述的统一数据管理功能包括5G网络***中的UDM,或者未来网络***(比如6G)中具有与UDM类似功能的网元。
会话管理功能接收第一创建会话管理上下文请求消息后,可以与统一数据管理功能交互,通过第一终端的应用层标识向统一数据管理功能查询可以发起组播组建立的终端信息,以确定第一终端是否被允许建立组播组。
在一些实施例中,应用功能可以预先将相关VN组中可以发起组播组建立的终端信息配置给统一数据管理功能、策略控制功能等。
在一些实施例中,在确定允许第一终端建立组播组的情况下,该方法还包括:
向第二终端发送第一请求消息,第一请求消息用于请求第二终端加入目标组播组,目标组播组为第一终端发起建立的组播组。
具体地,会话管理功能判断允许第一终端建立组播组后,可以向第二终端发送第一请求消息,请求第二终端加入第一终端发起建立的组播组。
一种实施方式中,会话管理功能可以经由接入和移动性管理功能以及网络设备(例如基站),向第二终端发送第一请求消息。
在一些实施例中,第一请求消息中可以包含目标组播组的组播地址信息。
关于目标组播组的组播地址信息,会话管理功能判断允许第一终端建立组播组后,可以为该组播组分配组播地址;或者,会话管理功能可以基于应用功能的配置确定目标组播组的组播地址信息,比如应用功能预先将第一终端建立的组播组的组播地址信息配置给统一数据管理功能,会话管理功能可以在需要时向统一数据管理功能查询到目标组播组的组播地址信息;或者,目标组播组的组播地址信息可以是在第一终端建立PDU会话之前或之后,配置在第一终端中的,比如,目标组播组的组播地址信息预先配置在第一终端中,第一终端可以在发起PDU会话建立请求的消息中携带组播地址信息,发送给会话管理功能。
在一些实施例中,向第二终端发送第一请求消息之后,该方法还包括:
接收接入和移动性管理功能发送的第二创建会话管理上下文请求消息或第一更新会话管理上下文请求消息,第二创建会话管理上下文请求消息或第一更新会话管理上下文请求消息中包含第二终端的应用层标识和目标组播组的组播地址信息;
根据第二创建会话管理上下文请求消息或第一更新会话管理上下文请求消息,确定是否允许第二终端加入目标组播组。
具体地,一种实施方式中,第二终端接收到第一请求消息时,若尚未建立PDU会话,则第二终端可以发起PDU会话建立请求(即PDU Session Establishment Request),PDU会话建立请求中携带第二终端的应用层标识和目标组播组的组播地址信息,用于请求加入目标组播组。
在一些实施例中,目标组播组的组播地址信息可以是会话管理功能发送给第二终端的,或者第二终端中预先配置的。
接入和移动性管理功能接收到第二终端发起的PDU会话建立请求后,可以向会话管理功能发送第二创建会话管理上下文请求消息(即Nsmf PDU Session CreateSMContext Request),该第二创建会话管理上下文请求消息中包含第二终端的应用层标识和目标组播组的组播地址信息。
会话管理功能接收到第二创建会话管理上下文请求消息之后,便可以根据该第二创建会话管理上下文请求消息,确定是否允许第二终端加入目标组播组。
一种实施方式中,第二终端接收到第一请求消息时,若已经建立PDU会话,则第二终端可以发起PDU会话修改请求(即PDU Session Modification Request),PDU会话修改请求中携带第二终端的应用层标识和目标组播组的组播地址信息,用于请求加入目标组播组。
接入和移动性管理功能接收到第二终端发起的PDU会话建立请求后,可以向会话管理功能发送第一更新会话管理上下文请求消息(即Nsmf PDU Session_UpdateSMContext Request),该第一更新会话管理上下文请求消息中包含第二终端的应用层标识和目标组播组的组播地址信息。
会话管理功能接收到第一更新会话管理上下文请求消息之后,便可以根 据该第一更新会话管理上下文请求消息,确定是否允许第二终端加入目标组播组。
在一些实施例中,根据第二创建会话管理上下文请求消息或第一更新会话管理上下文请求消息,确定是否允许第二终端加入目标组播组,包括:

在一些实施例中,会话管理功能可以向统一数据管理功能查询第二终端的配置信息或者允许加入目标组播组的终端信息(可以是应用功能配置给统一数据管理功能的),以确定第二终端是否被允许加入目标组播组。
在一些实施例中,会话管理功能可以在向策略控制功能获取会话管理相关策略信息时,基于策略控制功能获取有关第二终端是否被允许加入组播组的信息,以确定第二终端是否被允许加入目标组播组。

会话管理功能确定允许第二终端加入目标组播组的情况下,可以为第二终端的PDU会话进行用户面匹配和转发规则下发,向第二终端的PDU会话路径上的用户面功能发送有关目标组播组的数据匹配和转发规则。例如,当收到目的地址为目标组播组的组播地址的数据包时,转发至第二终端。
在一些实施例中,该方法还包括:
向第一终端的PDU会话路径上的用户面功能发送组级会话修改请求消息,组级会话修改请求消息中包含目标组播组的数据匹配和转发规则。

图5为本公开实施例提供的组播组建立方法的流程示意图之三,该方法应用于第二终端,如图5所示,该方法包括如下步骤:
步骤500、接收第一请求消息,第一请求消息用于请求第二终端加入目标组播组;目标组播组为第一终端发起建立的组播组,第一终端与第二终端属于同一虚拟网络VN组。
步骤510、根据第一请求消息,发送第二协议数据单元PDU会话建立请求消息或第一PDU会话修改请求消息,第二PDU会话建立请求消息或第一 PDU会话修改请求消息中包含第二终端的应用层标识和目标组播组的组播地址信息。
具体地,第一终端为发起建立组播组的任意终端,第二终端为第一终端邀请加入组播组的成员终端。第一终端和第二终端属于同一VN组。其中,第二终端可以包括一个或多个终端。
第一终端需要发起建立组播组的情况下,第一终端可以在其PDU会话建立请求消息(即PDU Session Establishment Request)中携带第一终端的应用层标识和第二终端的应用层标识。在一些实施例中,终端的应用层标识可以是GPSI。
第一终端可以向接入和移动性管理功能发送第一PDU会话建立请求消息,接入和移动性管理功能接收到该第一PDU会话建立请求消息后,可以将第一终端的应用层标识和第二终端的应用层标识携带在第一创建会话管理上下文请求消息(即Nsmf PDU Session CreateSMContext Request)中,发送给会话管理功能。会话管理功能接收到第一创建会话管理上下文请求消息之后,便可以根据该第一创建会话管理上下文请求消息,确定是否允许第一终端建立组播组。
会话管理功能判断允许第一终端建立组播组后,可以向第二终端发送第一请求消息,请求第二终端加入第一终端发起建立的组播组。
在一些实施例中,会话管理功能可以经由接入和移动性管理功能以及网络设备(例如基站),向第二终端发送第一请求消息。
在一些实施例中,第一请求消息中可以包含目标组播组的组播地址信息。
一种实施方式中,第二终端接收到第一请求消息时,若尚未建立PDU会话,则第二终端可以发起PDU会话建立请求(即PDU Session Establishment Request),PDU会话建立请求中携带第二终端的应用层标识和目标组播组的组播地址信息,用于请求加入目标组播组。
在一些实施例中,目标组播组的组播地址信息可以是会话管理功能发送给第二终端的,或者第二终端中预先配置的。
接入和移动性管理功能接收到第二终端发起的PDU会话建立请求后,可 以向会话管理功能发送第二创建会话管理上下文请求消息(即Nsmf PDU Session CreateSMContext Request),该第二创建会话管理上下文请求消息中包含第二终端的应用层标识和目标组播组的组播地址信息。
会话管理功能接收到第二创建会话管理上下文请求消息之后,便可以根据该第二创建会话管理上下文请求消息,确定是否允许第二终端加入目标组播组。
一种实施方式中,第二终端接收到第一请求消息时,若已经建立PDU会话,则第二终端可以发起PDU会话修改请求(即PDU Session Modification Request),PDU会话修改请求中携带第二终端的应用层标识和目标组播组的组播地址信息,用于请求加入目标组播组。
在一些实施例中,目标组播组的组播地址信息可以是会话管理功能发送给第二终端的,或者第二终端中预先配置的。
接入和移动性管理功能接收到第二终端发起的PDU会话建立请求后,可以向会话管理功能发送第一更新会话管理上下文请求消息(即Nsmf PDU Session_UpdateSMContext Request),该第一更新会话管理上下文请求消息中包含第二终端的应用层标识和目标组播组的组播地址信息。
会话管理功能接收到第一更新会话管理上下文请求消息之后,便可以根据该第一更新会话管理上下文请求消息,确定是否允许第二终端加入目标组播组。
本公开实施例提供的组播组建立方法,终端接收会话管理功能发送的加入组播组的请求后,通过新建或修改PDU会话请求加入组播组,实现了终端发起的组播组的建立过程,简化了组播组的建立方式,减少了信令交互。
在一些实施例中,发送第二PDU会话建立请求消息之后,该方法还包括:
接收第二PDU会话建立完成消息,第二PDU会话建立完成消息中包含第二信息,第二信息用于指示第二终端是否成功加入目标组播组。
具体地,会话管理功能接收到第二终端发起的PDU会话建立请求,并确定是否允许第二终端加入目标组播组之后,可以在发送给第二终端的第二PDU会话建立完成消息(即PDU Session Establishment Accept)中携带第二 信息,指示第二终端是否成功加入目标组播组。
