为了使得本公开的目的、技术方案和优点更为明显,下面将参照附图详细描述根据本公开的示例实施例。在附图中,相同的参考标号自始至终表示相同的元件。应当理解:这里描述的实施例仅仅是说明性的,而不应被解释为限制本公开的范围。

图3示意性示出了根据本公开的一实施例的消息传输方法的流程图。图3实施例提供的方法可以由应用功能网元执行,但本公开并不限定于此。
如图3所示,本公开实施例提供的方法可以包括:
在S310中,发送业务流的第一服务质量请求消息,所述第一服务质量请求消息包括第一连接标识信息和第一服务质量参数。
其中,所述第一服务质量请求消息用于指示策略控制功能网元根据所述第一服务质量请求消息将第一策略控制计费规则发送至第一协议数据单元会话对应的第一会话管理功能网元,所述第一策略控制计费规则包括所述第一连接标识信息和所述第一服务质量参数。
示例性的,可以将业务流的第一服务质量(Quality of Service,QoS)请求消息传输至策略控制功能网元,所述第一服务质量请求消息包括应用功能标识、第一连接标识信息和第一服务质量参数。
本公开实施例中,QoS请求消息是指AF网元向网络发出的,以请求对传输该业务流的数据包执行相应的QoS规则或QoS执行规则的消息。第一QoS请求消息可以是任意的一个QoS请求消息。AF网元可以直接将该第一QoS请求消息发送给PCF网元,也可以通过NEF网元间接发送给PCF网元,本公开对此不做限定。
本公开实施例中的第一QoS请求消息中可以包括发送该第一QoS请求消息的AF的标识信息(即应用功能标识,可以表示为AF ID(identity)),还可以包括第一连接标识信息(connection ID)和第一QoS参数。
本公开实施例中的connection ID包括HTTP(HyperText Transfer Protocol,超文本传输协议)3/QUIC(Quick UDP Internet Connection,快速UDP互联网连接协议)协议中的连接标识信息,其中,UDP是User Datagram Protocol的简写,即用户数据报协议。在HTTP3/QUIC协议中,业务服务器和用户交互协议的包头信息,在数据包头中增加了连接标识信息,这样,当用户的IP地址发生变化时,业务服务器仍然可以根据该连接标识信息正确的关联用户的业务上下文信息。第一连接标识信息可以是任意的一个connection ID。
本公开实施例中,第一服务质量参数可以根据实际业务需求进行设定,本公开不对
其进行限定。
在示例性实施例中,所述第一服务质量请求消息可以包括流描述符。该流描述符中可以包括该第一连接标识信息。但本公开并不限定于此,在其它实施例中,第一连接标识信息可以位于流描述符外,即在该第一QoS请求消息中,第一连接标识信息可以是与流描述符并列的信息元素,或者,该第一连接标识信息位于该流描述符内,本公开对此不做限定。
在示例性实施例中,所述流描述符还包括以下中的至少一项:源网络(IP)地址;源端口号;目的网络(IP)地址;目的端口号;传输协议。
在示例性实施例中,当所述流描述符包括传输协议时,所述传输协议包括快速用户数据报协议互联网连接协议(即QUIC协议)。
在示例性实施例中,所述第一服务质量请求消息还可以包括终端的第一网络地址(例如UE IP地址,为了区分,这里称之为第一网络地址),当第一QoS请求消息中包含UE IP地址时,可以直接根据该UE IP地址确定对哪个UE传输的业务流的数据包进行后续的第一数据包检测规则的检测,由此可以简化网络传输过程。可以理解的是,在其它实施例中,第一QoS请求消息中也可以不包括UE IP地址,此时,在后续执行过程中,可以根据该第一连接标识信息先确定所关联的UE IP地址,然后再确定对哪个UE传输的业务流的数据包进行后续的第一数据包检测规则的检测。
在示例性实施例中,所述第一服务质量请求消息还可以包括请求有效时间和/或生效位置信息。
本公开实施例中,请求有效时间是指该第一QoS请求消息的生效时间,超过该请求有效时间,该第一QoS请求消息请求针对该UE的具有该第一连接标识信息的特定业务流的第一QoS参数将失效。
本公开实施例中,生效位置信息是指该第一QoS请求消息针对UE位于什么地理范围或地理位置时才会生效,而对于该UE位于该生效位置信息之外时则不会生效,例如UE发生移动,超出了该生效位置信息之外,则此时AF请求的第一QoS参数不适用。
本公开实施例中,业务流是指针对某一或某些业务,终端发送的上行数据包和/或业务服务器发出的下行数据包在网络中传输所形成的业务流,业务可以根据实际需求设置。例如,业务可以是多媒体业务,但本公开并不限定于此。
可选的,在S320中,接收针对所述第一服务质量请求消息的第一响应消息,所述第一响应消息可以包括第一指示信息,所述第一指示信息可以用于指示是否同意所述第一服务质量请求消息。
本公开实施例中,AF网元可以从PCF网元和/或NEF网元接收该第一响应消息,该第一响应消息中的第一指示信息可以用于指示PCF网元和/或NEF网元是否同意该第一QoS请求消息。
所述第一服务质量请求消息可以用于指示所述策略控制功能网元,在所述第一指示信息指示同意所述第一服务质量请求消息时,根据所述第一服务质量请求消息确认第一协议数据单元(Protocol Data Unit,PDU)会话,更新或生成第一策略控制计费(Policy Control and Charging,PCC)规则,将所述第一策略控制计费规则发送至所述第一协议数据单元会话对应的第一会话管理功能网元,所述第一策略控制计费规则可以包括所述第一连接标识信息和所述第一服务质量参数。
在示例性实施例中,当所述第一指示信息指示同意所述第一服务质量请求消息时,所述第一响应消息还可以包括第一交互参考标识信息(transaction reference ID,也可以称之为交易标识)。第一交互参考标识信息用于确定第一服务质量请求消息中的第一连接标识信息。因为AF网元在实际情况中,可能会向网络发起多个请求,与该第一QoS请求消息关联的UE IP地址和connection ID,后续均有可能发生变化,因此,当PCF网元和/或NEF网元同意该第一QoS请求消息时,PCF网元和/或NEF网元可以通过该第一响应消息向AF网元返回第一交互参考标识信息,以使得AF网元后续在需要将第一连接标识信息更新为第二连接标识信息时,可以通过该第一交互参考标识信息唯一确定所要更新是哪个第一QoS请求消息中的第一连接标识信息。
在示例性实施例中,本公开实施例提供的方法还可以包括:发送更新所述业务流的第二服务质量请求消息,所述第二服务质量请求消息包括第二连接标识信息和所述第一交互参考标识信息;所述第二服务质量请求消息用于指示所述策略控制功能网元根据所述第二服务质量请求消息将第二策略控制计费规则发送至所述第一会话管理功能网元,所述第二策略控制计费规则包括所述第二连接标识信息,所述第二策略控制计费规则是根据所述第二连接标识信息和所述第一交互参考标识信息对所述第一策略控制计费规则更新得到的。
示例性的,将更新所述业务流的第二服务质量请求消息传输至所述策略控制功能网元,所述第二服务质量请求消息可以包括所述应用功能标识以及第二连接标识信息。可选的,可以接收针对所述第二服务质量请求消息的第二响应消息,所述第二响应消息可以包括第二指示信息,所述第二指示信息可以用于指示是否同意所述第二服务质量请求消息。
所述第二服务质量请求消息可以用于指示所述策略控制功能网元,在所述第二指示信息指示同意所述第二服务质量请求消息时,根据所述第二服务质量请求消息更新所述第一策略控制计费规则获得第二策略控制计费规则,将所述第二策略控制计费规则发送至所述第一会话管理功能网元,所述第二策略控制计费规则可以包括所述第二连接标识信息。
在示例性实施例中,所述第二服务质量请求消息还可以包括第一交互参考标识信息。
本公开实施方式提供的消息传输方法,当应用功能网元向策略控制功能网元发起业务流的第一服务质量请求消息时,通过在该第一服务质量请求消息中携带第一连接标识信息和第一服务质量参数,从而使得接收到该第一服务质量请求消息的策略控制功能网元,能够在该第一服务质量请求消息的指示下,确认第一协议数据单元会话,并更新或生成第一策略控制计费规则,将更新或生成的第一策略控制计费规则发送至该第一协议数据单元会话对应的第一会话管理功能网元,该第一策略控制计费规则携带上述第一连接标识信息及其对应的第一服务质量参数,以用于优化网络传输,减少AF和网络的交互次数。
图4实施例示出了AF网元主动请求针对UE的特定业务流的QoS保障的示意图。如图4所示,本公开实施例提供的方法可以包括:
在S41中,AF网元向NEF(Network Exposure Function,网络开放功能)网元发送第一QoS请求消息,该第一QoS请求消息可以包含AF ID、第一连接标识信息和第一QoS参数。
本公开实施例中,AF网元发送业务流的第一QoS请求消息给NEF网元,第一QoS请求消息可以包含AF标识,UE IP地址(终端的第一网络地址),流描述符(可以包含第一连接标识信息,可选的,还可以包含目的IP地址或目的端口号,或者传输协议等中的至少一项),第一QoS参数等。
可选的,第一QoS请求消息还可以包含该第一QoS请求消息的请求有效时间和/或生效位置信息。其中生效位置信息可以用实际的地理位置信息,街道名称信息,基站信息,小区信息等表示。本公开实施例中的请求有效时间和/或生效位置信息是与第一connection ID相关联的。
本公开实施例通过在第一QoS请求消息中增加第一连接标识信息,这样,即使后续当UE IP地址发生变化(例如从第一UE IP地址变更为第二UE IP地址,如从WiFi变更为5G网络,或者从5G网络变更为4G网络等),但是由于第一连接标识信息没有变化,网络依然依据相同的第一QoS参数执行相同的QoS策略信息,而不需要AF重新请求QoS信息,由此降低了AF与网络之间的交互。
例如,假设UE IP地址从IP1变更为IP2,则传输该业务流的UPF网元对该UE发送/接收的数据包进行检测时,虽然此时该数据包的源IP地址/目的IP地址为从IP1变更为了IP2,但由于UPF检测到的数据包的连接标识信息仍然是第一连接标识信息,因此,UPF均执行相同的第一QoS执行规则。
可选的,AF网元发送给NEF网元的第一QoS请求消息还可以包含业务流模板信息、该业务流的DNN(data network name,数据网络名称)信息和/或S-NSSAI(Single Network Slice Selection Assistance Information,单网络切片辅助信息)信息等中的至少一种,该信息用来表示该AF的请求是针对哪些业务流。
可选的,AF网元发送给NEF网元的第一QoS请求消息也可以不包含该业务流的DNN信息和/或S-NSSAI信息等。AF网元可以预先通过其它消息将AF ID、该业务流的DNN信息和/或S-NSSAI信息等发送给NEF网元,NEF网元可以将AF ID与业务流模板信息、该业务流的DNN信息和/或S-NSSAI信息等关联存储起来,当NEF网元接收到该第一QoS请求消息时,可以根据该第一QoS请求消息中携带的AF ID进行查找,获得该业务流的DNN信息和/或S-NSSAI信息等,以此可以降低第一QoS请求消息携带的数据量。
在示例性实施例中,业务流模板信息可以包括业务流的源IP地址(源网络地址)、源端口号、目的IP地址(目的网络地址)、目的端口号、FQDN(Fully Qualified Domain Name,全限定域名)、APP ID(Application identity,应用标识)等中的一种或多种。
在S42中,NEF网元接收到AF网元发送的第一QoS请求消息之后,对该第一QoS请求消息进行鉴权和认证。
在S43中,NEF网元向AF网元返回第一响应消息,该第一响应消息可以包括是否同意该第一QoS请求消息的第一指示信息。
本公开实施例中,AF网元可以通过向NEF网元发送第一QoS请求消息,NEF网元接收到AF网元发送的第一QoS请求消息之后,可以对第一QoS请求消息进行鉴权和认证,生成相应的第一响应消息,并返回第一响应消息给AF网元。
第一响应消息可以包括该NEF网元是否同意该第一QoS请求消息的第一指示信息,若该第一QoS请求消息鉴权和认证通过,则该第一指示信息指示该NEF网元同意该第一
QoS请求消息;若该第一QoS请求消息鉴权和认证未通过,则该第一指示信息指示该NEF网元拒绝该第一QoS请求消息,可选的,还可以包括拒绝原因值。
在S44中,NEF网元将第一QoS请求消息直接或间接发送给PCF网元。
本公开实施例中,当NEF网元对上述第一QoS请求消息鉴权和认证通过之后,NEF网元可以再将第一QoS请求消息发送给PCF网元。
在一些实施例中,PCF网元接收到NEF网元发送的第一QoS请求消息之后,可以对第一QoS请求消息进行鉴权和认证,生成第一响应消息,并通过NEF网元返回AF网元。即PCF网元和NEF网元可以对第一QoS请求消息进行双重鉴权和认证。
在另一些实施例中,当NEF网元接收到该第一QoS请求消息之后,也可以不对该第一QoS请求消息进行鉴权和认证,而是直接转发给PCF网元,由PCF网元对该第一QoS请求消息进行鉴权和认证。
NEF网元进一步返回第一响应消息给AF网元,如果第一指示信息指示同意该第一QoS请求消息,NEF网元还可以返回第一交互参考标识信息(transaction reference ID)给AF。
如果第一指示信息指示同意该第一QoS请求消息,后续执行S45;如果拒绝,则流程结束。
在S45中,PCF网元接收到该第一QoS请求消息之后,可以确认第一PDU会话,更新或生成第一PCC规则。
PCF网元接收到NEF网元发送的第一QoS请求消息之后,可以根据该第一QoS请求消息确认第一PDU会话,并根据该第一QoS请求消息更新或生成第一PCC(Policy and Charging Control,策略控制计费)规则,在该第一PCC规则中携带第一连接标识信息和所述第一服务质量参数。
在S46中,PCF网元可以向SMF网元发送第一PCC规则,第一PCC规则可以包括上述第一连接标识信息和第一QoS参数。
然后PCF网元再将该第一PCC规则发送给SMF网元,这里的SMF网元可以是与第一PDU会话对应的第一SMF网元。
在S47中,SMF网元接收到PCF网元发送的第一PCC规则之后,可以根据第一PCC规则生成或更新第一数据包检测规则及其对应的第一QoS执行规则。
