本申请要求在2022年08月05日提交中国专利局、申请号为202210938909.6、申请名称为“一种业务流属性配置方法、装置和系统”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
本申请涉及通信技术领域，尤其涉及一种业务流属性配置方法、装置和系统。
背景技术
在传统以太网络的数据转发过程中，当大量数据包在一瞬间抵达转发端口时，将造成转发时延大或者丢包的问题，因此无法满足对可靠性和传输时延要求高的业务，比如汽车控制、工业互联网等领域的业务。针对可靠时延传输的需求，目前定义了相关的时延敏感网络(time sensitive networking，TSN)网络标准，该标准基于二层交换来提供可靠时延传输服务，保障时延敏感业务数据传输的可靠性，以及可预测的端到端传输时延。
在第三代合作伙伴计划(3rd generation partnership project，3GPP)与TSN互通的场景下，需要在各网络节点以及应用服务器处进行协同调度，以避免数据包在节点处的排队时延。为了提高传输性能，可能需要进行协同调度优化。在协同调度优化发生时，业务流的属性信息需要根据传输时间相关参数(比如突发到达时间)的变化而变化，进一步的由于传输时间相关参数可能进行多轮协商，这将导致业务流属性的变化更为频繁，影响传输稳定性。
因此，如何避免因传输时间相关参数(比如突发到达时间)变化导致业务流属性信息频繁变化，是目前需要解决的技术问题。

(一)TSN网络架构
IEEE 802.1cc中为TSN网络定义了3种配置模型：全集中式配置模型、全分布式配置模型、集中式网络/分布式用户配置模型。

5)FailedInterfaces：配置失败的接口列表，定义同EndStationInterfaces。
(二)3GPP网络和TSN网络互通
请参见图2，为本申请实施例中一种3GPP网络和TSN网络互通的系统架构图。3GPP 5G系统和TSN转换器(TSN Translator)整体作为一个逻辑上的TSN网桥(TSN Bridge)，5G系统通过和控制面TSN Translator(即应用功能(application function，AF)网元)与TSN网络中的节点交换信息，所交换的信息包括：5G系统Bridge能力信息、TSN配置信息、TSN输入输出端口的时间调度信息、时间同步信息等。其中，UE侧的TSN Translator(device side TSC Translator，简称DS-TT，其中TSC是time sensitive communication的英文简称，即时间敏感通信)可能位于UE内，也可能位于外部；UPF侧的TSN Translator(network side TSC Translator，简称NW-TT)位于UPF内。
5G系统整体作为一个TSN Bridge，CNC根据5GS Bridge以及其它Bridge上报的信息给每个TSN Bridge配置发送时间窗口和流周期，以保证端到端(从TSN Talker到TSN Listener)的确定性时延。
以下行为例，用户面处理报文的过程中，报文从TSN系统中传输到NW-TT后，NW-TT将报文发送到DS-TT，DS-TT根据CNC配置的发送时间窗口(即门控调度参数)在预配置的时间内将报文发送出去。为了保证报文能及时发送，报文需要在预设值的发送时间之前到达DS-TT，在DS-TT处缓存至发送时间窗口。
参见图3，对于特定的有确定性时延需求的报文，5G系统需要根据报文需求确定对应的PDB，并保证报文在UE和UPF之间的传输时间不大于PDB。也就是说，报文会提前到达DS-TT处，以便能赶上CNC配置的发送时间窗口。
3GPP和TSN对接，采用黑盒模型，CNC按照流粒度配置到达5G核心网的时间和离开5G核心网的时间，UE和UPF之间由于空口传输和有线传输造成的不确定性通过在端点TSC Translator缓存消除。
TSN AF根据从CNC获取的TSN流的调度信息，会确定TSN流到达5G系统入口的时间，即在下行方向TSN流到达NW-TT入口的时间，如图4中的DL Burst Arrival Time(下行突发到达时间)，以及上行方向TSN流到达DS-TT入口的时间，如图5中的UL Burst Arrival Time(上行突发到达时间)。TSN AF通过策略控制功能(policy control function，PCF)网元将信息提供给会话管理功能(Session Management Function，SMF)网元，SMF根据这些信息进一步计算在下行方向到达NG-RAN的时间(如图4中的DL TSCAI Burst Arrival Time)，以及上行方向从UE发出的时间(如图5中的UL TSCAI Burst Arrival Time)，作为TSC辅助信息(TSC assistance information，TSCAI)提供给无线接入网(Radio Access Network，RAN)参考，以便RAN节点提前预留资源。
上述TSCAI也可以替换为TSC辅助容器(TSC assistance container，TSCAC)，TSCAC可以由AF或TSCTSF发送给SMF(可以经由PCF)。
TSCAI包括的信息如下：
-流的方向：指示TSC流是上行方向还是下行方向；
-周期：指两个突发(burst)开始时间之间的间隔；
-突发到达时间(burst arrival time，BAT)：在下行方向，该BAT指突发到达RAN节点入口的时间，在上行方向，该BAT指突发到达UE出口的时间。
可选的，TSCAI也可能包含其他信息，本申请实施例对此不作限制。
TSCAC包括的信息如下：
-流的方向：指示TSC流是上行方向还是下行方向；
-周期：指两个突发(burst)开始时间之间的间隔；
-突发到达时间(burst arrival time，BAT)：在给定的流向下，数据突发的第一个数据包到达5GS的入端口的时间(上行为DS-TT，下行为NW-TT)。
可选的，TSCAC也可能包含其他信息。
SMF确定下行方向TSCAI Burst Arrival Time的方法为：
TSCAI Burst Arrival Time＝TSCAC DL Burst Arrival Time+DL CN PDB。
SMF确定上行方向TSCAI Burst Arrival Time的方法为：
TSCAI Burst Arrival Time＝TSCAC UL Burst Arrival Time+UE-DS-TT Residence Time。
SMF将业务(数据流)绑定至一个服务质量(quality of service，QoS)流，即QoS流(QoS Flow)与业务流之间存在对应关系，对于时延敏感业务，一般认为QoS流与业务流之间一一对应。
(四)5G QoS架构
在5G系统中，为了保证业务端到端的服务质量，提出了基于QoS Flow的5G QoS模型，如图6所示。该5G QoS模型支持保证比特率的QoS Flow(GBR QoS Flow，其中GBR是guaranteed bit rate的英文缩写，即保证比特率)和不保证比特率的QoS Flow(Non-GBR QoS Flow)。使用同一个QoS Flow控制的数据包接收相同的传输处理(如调度、准入门限等)。
对于一个UE，可以与5G网络建立一个或者多个PDU会话；每个PDU会话中可以建立一个或者多个QoS Flow。每个QoS Flow由一个QFI(QoS Flow Identifier，QoS流标识)识别，QFI在会话中唯一标识一个QoS Flow。
每个QoS Flow都具有自己的特征信息，其中SMF发送给RAN的是QoS文件。QoS文件中包含5G QoS标识符5QI(5QI是QoS特征的一个索引)。QoS特征中包括PDB。
PDB定义了数据包在UE和UPF的N6终结点之间可能延迟的时间的上限。其中，5G接入网(AN)分组时延预算(5G-AN PDB)是通过减去核心网分组时延预算(CN PDB)的值来确定的。CN PDB表示UPF处的任何N6终止点(对于可能为PDU会话选择的任何UPF)与来自给定PDB的5G-AN之间的延迟。
(四)协同调度优化技术
目前3GPP和TSN互通(或非TSN的时延敏感网络)采用的黑盒模型方式，假设报文在RAN节点和UPF之间传输肯定不会超过CN PDB。但是，如果不考虑RAN调度的特殊性(TTI调度保护，上下行配比等)时，下行方向会在RAN引入额外的缓存/排队时延。上行方向类似，数据包会在UE缓存/排队，此处仅是以下行为例。图7示出了一种下行方向的报文发送时序示意图。
如图7所示，下行方向，UPF发送的报文到达RAN的时机不同，在RAN上缓存/排队等待调度的时长也不同，其中，最小是处理时延(TTI调度保护带时长)，最大可以超过两个时隙(Slot)。RAN一个Slot的典型时长是125us，对于有超低时延需求的业务(如cycle time 1-2ms)，需要避免在RAN节点排队时延过长。因此，需要将在RAN节点、UPF以及应用服务器(Application Server)处做协同，避免节点的排队时延。如图8所示，目前的一种解决方案是：
1、调度协调器(比如RAN或SMF)获取空口调度时延信息，具体可以包括：TTI起始时间、Slot时长、上下行时隙配比信息、RAN节点TTI保护时长以及CN PDB。
2、调度协调器获取应用时延需求，及TSC QoS相关的信息，包括Burst Arrival Time、业务周期。
3、调度协调器根据获取的空口调度时延信息以及业务的时延需求，调整下行报文在UPF或应用侧的发送时机，使得有超低时延或抖动需求的业务可以在空口得到及时调度(参见图8中的3a，3b，3c)。比如在图8中的3b，调度协调器向AF发送信息指示调整应用侧报文的发送时机等。
参见图9，5G的控制面网元，如SMF，可以充当CUC(充当CUC的SMF可以表示为SMF/CUC)。SMF/CUC通过用户/网络接口向TN CNC提供上文所述的Talker/Listener组信息。TN CNC使用其作为输入，配置传输网中的网桥(Bridge)，并将状态(status)提供给SMF/CUC。SMF/CUC还可以在UPF和RAN中调整流的发送时间。TN CNC指传输网中的CNC。传输网位于RAN和UPF之间，其传递的业务流为5G网络中的业务流。RAN和UPF分别作为端站(End Station)，即Talker和Listener，其中，在上行方向，RAN作为Talker，UPF作为Listener，在下行方向，UPF作为Talker，RAN作为Listener。
参见图10，以SMF充当CUC为例，示出了一种目前采用的TSN配置流程。如图所示，该流程包括如下步骤：
步骤1001：UE触发PDU会话建立流程。
PDU会话建立流程可以参见协议TS 23.502第4.3.2章节的内容。
如果RAN和UPF支持TL(Talker/Listener)功能，则RAN和UPF可以向SMF上报接口能力(InterfaceCapabilities)信息。比如可以通过透明容器上报，所述透明容器可以代表RAN、UPF、SMF等网元可以不必理解其中内容，由Talker/Listener或CUC进行处理。
步骤1002：PCF向SMF发送带有TSC辅助容器(TSCAC)的策略和计费控制(policy and charging control，PCC)规则。所述TSC辅助容器可以代表RAN、UPF、SMF等网元可以不必理解其中内容，由Talker/Listener或CUC进行处理。所述TSC辅助容器中包括TSC流量的突发(burst)大小。
SMF根据所述PCC规则建立QoS流，并向RAN和UPF发送QoS流对应的信息(此过程未在图中示出)。
步骤1003：SMF执行参数映射，得到Talker/Listener组信息。所述参数映射，是指根据发送端上 报的信息、接收端上报的信息，确定Talker/Listener组信息，该Talker/Listener组信息也可以称为合并后的流需求(merged stream requirements)。
步骤1004：SMF将Talker/Listener组信息(或称merged stream requirements)发送给TN CNC。
步骤1005：TN CNC将状态信息(status)返回给SMF。所述状态信息(status)也称为合并的端站通信配置(merged end station communication-configuration)。
步骤1006～1007：SMF根据TN CNC返回的状态信息(status)配置Talker和Listener。
在协同调度优化技术发生时，业务流的TSCAI(具体为突发到达时间BAT)会发生变化，若出现协商，则变化更为频繁。当按照TSCAI(或TSCAC)中的BAT计算传输网业务的相关参数(比如传输偏移TransmitOffset)时，就会发生频繁更新，导致TN CNC频繁重新配置，进而导致系统不稳定。
为此，本申请实施例提供了一种业务属性配置方法、装置和系统，用以避免因突发到达时间(burst arrival time)变化而导致业务流属性频繁变化的问题。
本申请实施例提供一种业务属性配置方法、装置和系统，本申请所述方法、装置和系统基于同一技术构思，由于方法、装置和系统解决问题的原理相似，因此装置和系统与方法的实施可以相互参见，重复之处不再赘述。
下面结合附图对本申请实施例进行说明。
参见图11和图12，为本申请实施例提供的一种5G非漫游基于参考点的架构。5G系统架构分为接入网和核心网两部分。接入网用于实现无线接入有关的功能。核心网主要包括以下几个关键网元：接入和移动管理网元(access and mobility management function，AMF)、会话管理网元(session management function，SMF)、用户面网元(user plane function，UPF)、策略控制网元(policy control function，PCF)、统一数据管理网元(unified data management，UDM)等。
基于上述服务化的5G系统架构和基于参考点的非漫游架构，与本申请相关的网元的功能如下：
终端设备：可以为用户设备(user equipment，UE)、手持终端、笔记本电脑、用户单元(subscriber unit)、蜂窝电话(cellular phone)、智能电话(smart phone)、无线数据卡、个人数字助理(personal digital assistant，PDA)电脑、平板型电脑、无线调制解调器(modem)、手持设备(handheld)、膝上型电脑(laptop computer)、无绳电话(cordless phone)或者无线本地环路(wireless local loop，WLL)台、机器类型通信(machine type communication，MTC)终端或是其他可以接入网络的设备。终端设备与接入网设备之间采用某种空口技术相互通信。
(R)AN设备：为终端设备提供接入的设备，包含RAN设备和AN设备。RAN设备主要是3GPP网络无线网络设备，AN可以是non-3GPP定义的接入网设备。无线接入网(Radio Access Network，RAN)设备：主要负责空口侧的无线资源管理、服务质量(quality of service，QoS)管理、数据压缩和加密等功能。所述RAN设备可以包括各种形式的基站，例如：宏基站，微基站(也称为小站)，中继站，接入点等。在采用不同的无线接入技术的系统中，具备基站功能的设备的名称可能会有所不同，例如，在第五代(5th generation，5G)系统中，称为RAN或者gNB(5G NodeB)；在LTE系统中，称为演进的节点B(evolved NodeB，eNB或者eNodeB)；在第三代(3rd generation，3G)系统中，称为节点B(Node B)等。
接入网(access network)设备：该网元允许终端设备和3GPP核心网之间采用非3GPP技术互连互通，其中，非3GPP技术例如：无线保真(Wireless Fidelity，Wi-Fi)、全球微波互联接入(Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access，WiMAX)、码分多址(code division multiple access，CDMA)网络等。
AMF网元：主要负责移动网络中的移动性管理，如用户位置更新、用户注册网络、用户切换等。

UPF网元：负责终端设备中用户数据的转发和接收。可以从数据网络接收用户数据，通过接入网设备传输给终端设备；UPF网元还可以通过接入网设备从终端设备接收用户数据，转发到数据网络。UPF网元中为终端设备提供服务的传输资源和调度功能由SMF网元管理控制的。
PCF网元：主要支持提供统一的策略框架来控制网络行为，提供策略规则给控制层网络功能，同时负责获取与策略决策相关的用户签约信息。

UE通过UE到DN之间建立的PDU会话来访问DN。
基于上述架构，5G系统可以根据AF/NEF提供的信息确定TSCAI/TSCAC，并可能将其提供给PCF用于IP类型和以太网类型PDU会话。AF可以向NEF提供流量模式参数，例如参考入口端口的突发到达时间、周期性、流向、生存时间和时域。NEF可以将接收到的流量模式参数转发给TSCTSF。可以允许运营商信任的AF直接向TSCTSF提供这样的流量模式参数。TSCTSF可以负责确定TSCAI/TSCAC中的这些业务模式参数并将其转发到SMF(可以通过PCF)。
上述架构中，核心网中的各个网元也可以称为功能实体或者设备或者网络功能，既可以是在专用硬件上实现的网络元件，也可以是在专用硬件上运行的软件实例，或者是在适当平台上虚拟化功能的实例，例如，上述虚拟化平台可以为云平台。
在本申请中，网元也可以称之为网络功能或功能或实体等，本申请对此不作限定。
需要说明的是，图11或图12所示的通信系统的架构中不限于仅包含图中所示的网元，还可以包含其它未在图中表示的设备，具体本申请在此处不再一一列举。
需要说明的是，本申请实施例并不限定各个网元的分布形式，图1所示的分布形式只是示例性的，本申请不作限定。
为方便说明，本申请后续均以图1所示的网元为例进行说明，并将XX网元直接简称为XX。应理解，本申请中所有网元的名称仅仅作为示例，在未来通信中还可以称为其它名称，或者在未来通信中本申请涉及的网元还可以通过其它具有相同功能的实体或者设备等来替代，本申请对此均不作限定。这里做统一说明，后续不再赘述。
需要说明的是，图11和图12所示的通信系统并不构成本申请实施例能够适用的通信系统的限定。图11和图12所示的通信系统架构为5G系统架构，可选的，本申请实施例的方法还适用于未来的各种通信系统，例如6G或者其他通信网络等。
本申请实施例提供的一种业务流属性配置方法，可以适用于如图11或图12所示的通信系统。参阅图13所示，为本申请实施例提供的一种业务流属性配置方法的流程示意图，该流程可以发生在需要进行协同调度优化时。该流程中的第一网元为CUC网元，可选的，可以由SMF充当CUC(即TN CNC)，第二网元为CNC，可选的，可以由AF充当CNC。第一网元可以通过协商过程调整突发到达时间(BAT)，并当接收到来自应用功能(AF)或无线接入网(RAN)的第一指示信息后，结束协商过程，使用调整后的突发到达时间确定第一业务流的属性信息。
所述第一业务流可能与一个QoS流对应，也可能与多个QoS流对应，本申请实施例不做限制。
如图13所示，该方法的具体流程可以包括：
S1301：第一网元获取第一业务流的传输时间信息。所述传输时间信息包括突发到达时间或突发到达时间的调整信息，所述突发到达时间的调整信息用于确定调整后的突发到达时间。
本申请实施例中，第一业务流的突发到达时间可以包括以下中的至少一项：
下行方向TSCAI突发到达时间，即，突发(burst)到达无线接入网入口的时间(比如图4中的DL TSCAI Burst Arrival Time，也就是第一业务流的突发(burst)到达NG-RAN的时间)；
上行方向TSCAI突发到达时间，即，突发(burst)到达终端的时间(比如图5中的UL TSCAI Burst Arrival Time，也就是第一业务流的突发(burst)到达UE的时间)；
下行方向TSCAC突发到达时间，比如，突发(burst)到达UPF侧的NW-TT的时间；
上行方向TSCAC突发到达时间，比如，突发(burst)到达UE侧的DS-TT的时间。
可选的，第一网元可以根据AF提供的DL Burst Arrival Time和DL CN PDB计算得到DL TSCAI Burst Arrival Time，根据AF提供的UL Burst Arrival Time和UE-DS-TT Residence Time计算得到UL TSCAI Burst Arrival Time，具体计算方法可以参见前文的相关内容。
可选的，所述突发到达时间的调整信息为调整后的突发到达时间，或者为所述突发到达时间调整前和调整后的偏移量。
在一些实施例中，所述突发到达时间的调整信息可能来自于无线接入网(RAN)，示例性的，第一网元将TSCAI/TSCAC(其中包括BAT)发送给无线接入网后，接收无线接入网发送的该BAT的调整信息。
在另一些实施例中，所述突发到达时间或突发到达时间的调整信息可能来自于策略控制功能(PCF)。示例性的，第一网元将TSCAI/TSCAC(其中包括BAT)发送给无线接入网后，接收无线接入网发送的该BAT的调整信息，第一网元再将该BAT的调整信息(或者调整后的BAT)发送给PCF，PCF将该BAT的调整信息发送给AF，AF再次进行调整后将该BAT的调整信息发送给PCF，由PCF发送给第一网元。上述过程可以称为一轮协商过程。上述过程可以进行多次，也就是说，第一网元获取到的BAT的调整信息，可能是经过一轮或多轮协商获得的。
在另一些实施例中，所述突发到达时间的调整信息可能来自于时间敏感通信时间同步功能(TSCTSF)，或者直接来自AF，本申请实施例对此不做限制。
S1302a和S1302b：第一网元接收第一指示信息。
可选的，所述第一指示信息可以是确认指示。可选的，所述第一指示信息的含义可以表述为：
(1)第一指示信息用于确认传输时间信息，以便使得第一网元根据该确认的传输时间信息确定业务流的属性。
所述传输时间信息可能来自于PCF，也可以来自RAN，或者其他网元。
以所述传输时间信息来自PCF为例，比如，如果PCF向第一网元同时发送了BAT和第一指示信息，则该第一指示信息用于指示确认该BAT，使得第一网元根据该BAT确定业务流的属性；再比如，如果PCF同时向第一网元发送了BAT偏移量和第一指示信息，则该第一指示信息用于指示确认该BAT偏移量，也即确认基于该BAT偏移量调整后的BAT，使得第一网元根据该BAT偏移量(或者基于该BAT偏移量调整后的BAT)确定业务流的属性；再比如，如果PCF仅向第一网元发送了第一指示信息，则该第一指示信息用于指示确认第一网元上当前的BAT(或者说第一网元之前发给该PCF的BAT)，使得第一网元根据该确认的BAT确定业务流的属性。
再以所述传输时间信息来自RAN为例，比如，如果RAN从第一网元接收到BAT后，接受该BAT，则可以仅向第一网元发送第一指示信息，该第一指示信息用于表明RAN接受该BAT，使得第一网元根据该BAT确定业务流的属性信息；再比如，如果RAN从第一网元接收到BAT后，对该BAT进行了调整，并向第一网元发送了BAT偏移量以及第一指示信息，该第一指示信息用于表明RAN接受该BAT偏移量(也即基于该偏移量调整后的BAT)，使得第一网元根据该BAT偏移量(或基于该BAT偏移量调整后的BAT)确定业务流的属性信息。
(2)第一指示信息用于确认基于第一网元获取到的传输时间信息进行数据传输。
示例性的，第一指示信息用于确认基于第一网元接收到的突发到达时间进行数据传输，比如确认基于从PCF接收到的BAT进行数据传输。
示例性的，第一指示信息用于确认基于调整后的突发到达时间或者基于突发达到时间的调整信息，进行数据传输。
(3)第一指示信息用于指示突发到达时间不会因为跨层调度优化而进行(或者称进一步)调整。
可以理解，基于第一指示信息，第一网元可以确认基于上述传输时间信息来确定第一业务流的属性信息。
在一种可能的实现方式中，第一指示信息可能来自于策略控制功能(PCF)，如图中的S1302a，第一指示信息也可能来自于无线接入网(RAN)，如图中的S1302b。
例如，第一网元将TSCAI/TSCAC(其中包括BAT)发送给无线接入网后，接收无线接入网发送的该BAT的调整信息，第一网元再将该BAT的调整信息(或者调整后的BAT)发送给PCF，PCF将该BAT的调整信息发送给AF，AF再次进行调整后将该BAT的调整信息以及第一指示信息发送给PCF(可 以经由NEF和或TSCTSF)，由PCF发送给第一网元。需要说明的是，上述协商过程可以进行多次，只有在最后一次协商过程中，AF将第一指示信息发送给PCF，由PCF发送给第一网元，之前的协商过程中，AF/PCF发送给第一网元的信息中不包含第一指示信息。
在另一种情况下，在上述交互过程，RAN也可以在接收到第一网元发送的TSCAI/TSCAC(其中包括BAT)后，将BAT的调整信息以及第一指示信息发送给第一网元。在另一种情况下，在上述交互过程，RAN也可以在接收到第一网元发送的TSCAI/TSCAC(其中包括BAT)后，将第一指示信息发送给第一网元，用以确认该BAT，使得第一网元可以根据该BAT确定第一业务流的属性信息。
可选的，上述协商过程可以基于第一指示信息来终结。举例来说，AF从第一网元获取到一个或多个BAT的调整信息后，若AF确定可以使用其中一个，此种情况下，AF确定无需再次进行协商，因此发送第一指示信息给第一网元。
示例性的，以第一指示信息是在最后一轮协商过程中发送的为例，可选的，上述N轮协商过程中的最后一轮协商，可以包括如下步骤：
i)第一网元将TSCAI(其中包括BAT)发送给RAN；
ii)RAN对该BAT进行调整，得到BAT调整信息1，并将BAT调整信息1发送给第一网元；
iii)第一网元接收到BAT调整信息1后，将其发送给AF；
iv)AF向第一网元发送第一指示信息，以使得第一网元根据该第一指示信息，使用上述BAT调整信息1或基于该BAT调整信息1调整后的BAT，确定第一业务流的属性信息。
在另一种可能的场景中，AF也可以将第一指示信息和BAT调整信息2发送给第一网元，以使得第一网元根据该BAT调整信息2或基于该BAT调整信息2调整后的BAT，确定第一业务流的属性信息。
再以第一指示信息是在最后一轮协商过程中发送的为例，上述N轮协商过程中的最后一轮协商，可以包括如下步骤：
i)第一网元将TSCAI(其中包括BAT)发送给RAN；
ii)RAN向第一网元发送第一指示信息，以使得第一网元根据该BAT确定第一业务流的属性信息。
在另一种可能的场景中，RAN对该BAT进行调整，得到BAT调整信息3，并将BAT调整时间信息3和第一指示信息发送给第一网元，使得第一网元根据该BAT调整信息3或基于该BAT调整信息3调整后的BAT，确定第一业务流的属性信息。
S1303：当第一网元接收到第一指示信息后，根据上述传输时间信息确定第一业务流的属性信息。
可选的，若根据第一指示信息确认的传输时间信息为第一网元接收到的突发到达时间，则第一网元根据该突发到达时间确定第一业务流的属性信息。若根据第一指示信息确认的传输时间信息为突发到达时间的调整信息，则第一网元根据该突发到达时间的调整信息确定第一业务流的属性信息。
可选的，第一业务流的属性信息可以是前述Talker/Listener组信息中的部分参数。可选的，第一网元根据调整后的突发到达时间确定出的第一业务流的属性信息，包括以下至少一项：最早传输偏移(EarliestTransmitOffset)，最晚传输偏移(LatestTransmitOffset)，最大时延(MaxLatency)，发送时间(TimeAwareOffset)。进一步的，还可能包括间隔(interval)、抖动(Jitter)等。这些参数的定义可参见前文描述。
下面以SMF充当CUC为例，说明SMF如何参考5G系统Bridge以及5G QoS参数确定Talker/Listener组信息。以下仅示例性地列出了几个与本申请相关的参数，Talker/Listener组信息中包含的参数并不仅限于此。
-间隔(interval)：SMF可以根据TSCAI中指示的流量周期生成该参数。
-TSpecTimeAware组：
EarliestTransmitOffset：间隔内的最早偏移量。
对于上行，最早传输偏移应基于TSCAI中的UL BAT，加上UE-DS-TT驻留时间和5G-AN PDB之和设置。并且考虑间隔信息，可以使用以下公式：最早的传输偏移可以设置为：UL BAT+5G-AN PDB-M x间隔。其中，M是一个整数，取可以保证公式“UL BAT+5G-AN PDB>M*间隔时长”成立的最大值。
对于下行，应根据TSCAC中DL中的BAT和UPF驻留时间和间隔的总和设置，使用以下公式：DL BAT+UPF驻留时间-M x间隔。其中，M是一个整数，取可以保证公式“DL BAT+UPF驻留时间>M*间隔时长*间隔时长”成立的最大值。
LatestTransmitOffset：间隔内的最后一次机会应留出足够的时间来传输MaxFrameSize的数据包。 因此，SMF可以使用EarliestTransmitOffset加上间隔减去(抖动和传输MaxFrameSize数据包的时间之和)来生成它。
抖动：SMF可以根据本地配置生成该参数。
-UserToNetworkRequirements：
MaxLatency：SMF可以根据CN PDB和UPF驻留时间生成该参数，即该参数应该是CN PDB减去UPF驻留时间。
需要说明的是，以上公式中的UPF驻留时间为可选参数。
S1304：第一网元将第一业务流的属性信息发送给第二网元。
可选的，第一网元可以通过向第二网元发送Talker/Listener组信息，将所述第一业务流的属性信息发送给第二网元。
第二网元接收到第一业务流的属性信息后，可以根据该信息确定并生成该业务流的E2E转发路径，并将调度参数发送给交换节点，还可以根据第一业务流的属性信息生成状态信息(status)，并将该状态信息发送给第一网元，以使得第一网元将状态信息发送给第一业务流的发送端和接收端(比如在全集中式配置模型下)，从而配置第一业务流的发送端和接收端。在另一种可能的实现方式中，第二网元也可以直接将该状态信息发送给第一业务流的发送端和接收端(比如在全分布式配置模型下，或者在集中式网络/分布式用户配置模型下)。
在一种可能的实现方式中，上述流程中，第一网元还可能接收来自策略控制功能网元的第二指示信息，该第二指示信息是应用或应用功能网元发送给策略控制功能网元或TSCTSF的，再由策略控制功能网元或TSCTSF发送给第一网元。所述第二指示信息可以用于指示应用功能或应用支持调整发包时间或支持调整突发到达时间。第一网元根据第二指示信息，不立即根据突发到达时间确定第一业务流的属性信息。根据第二指示信息，第一网元还可以获取第一业务流的到达时间的调整信息(比如通过协商)，并在接收到所述第一指示信息后进行第一业务流的属性信息的计算。所述第二指示信息也可以称为“支持调整发包时间的指示”或者“支持调整突发到达时间的指示”，本申请实施例对此不做限制。
基于图13所示的流程，图15和图16分别示出了两种应用场景下的信令交互示意图，具体请参见图15和图16。
上述图13所示的流程中，第一网元获取第一业务流的突发到达时间(BAT)的调整信息后，并不立即确定第一业务流的属性信息，而是在接收到第一指示信息后，根据调整后的突发到达时间确定第一业务流的属性信息，因此可以避免因突发到达时间变化而导致业务流属性频繁变化的问题。
采用上述图13所示的流程，当协同调度优化发生时，可以避免因为业务流的TSCAI/TSCAC(具体为BAT)的变化，导致TSCAI/TSCAC中的BAT计算传输网业务的TransmitOffset频繁更新，以及TN CNC频繁重新配置。
本申请实施例提供的一种业务流属性配置方法，可以适用于如图11或图12所示的通信系统。参阅图14所示，为本申请实施例提供的一种业务流属性配置方法的流程示意图，该流程可以发生在需要进行协同调度优化时。该流程中的第一网元为CUC网元，可选的，可以由SMF充当CUC(即TN CNC)，第二网元为CNC，可选的，可以由AF充当CNC。第一网元可以基于显示或隐式的指示方式，通过协商过程调整突发到达时间(BAT)，并使用调整后的突发到达时间确定第一业务流的属性信息。
所述第一业务流可能与一个QoS流对应，也可能与多个QoS流对应，本申请实施例不做限制。
如图14所示，该方法的具体流程可以包括：
S1401：第一网元接收第一信息。
可选的，所述第一信息是应用或应用功能网元发送给策略控制功能网元或TSCTSF的，再由策略控制功能网元或TSCTSF发送给第一网元。
可选的，所述第一信息包括第二指示信息，所述第二指示信息可以用于指示应用功能或应用支持调整发包时间或支持调整突发到达时间。第一网元根据第二指示信息，不立即根据突发到达时间确定第一业务流的属性信息。第一网元还可以根据第二指示信息通过协商获得第一业务流的突发到达时间调整信息，确定根据调整后的突发到达时间确定第一业务流的属性信息。通过向第一网元发送第二指示信息，可以实现通过显式方式指示第一网元基于调整后的突发到达时间确定业务流属性。所述第二指示信息也可以称为“支持调整突发到达时间的指示”，本申请实施例对此不做限制。
可选的，所述第一信息包括第一业务流的备选突发到达时间。备选突发到达时间可以是具体的突发 到达时间(或偏移量)，也可以是一个突发到达时间窗(或偏移量区间)。备选突发到达时间用于指示业务可接受的调整时间。另外，通过向第一网元发送备选突发到达时间，也可以实现通过隐式方式指示第一网元基于调整后的突发到达时间确定业务流属性。
当然，第一信息可以同时包含第二指示信息和第一业务流的备选突发到达时间。本申请实施例不做限制。
S1402：第一网元根据所述第一信息，获取第一业务流的传输时间信息，所述传输时间信息包括突发到达时间或突发到达时间的调整信息，所述突发到达时间的调整信息用于确定调整后的突发到达时间。
本申请实施例中，第一业务流的突发到达时间可以包括以下中的至少一项：
下行方向TSCAI突发到达时间，即，突发(burst)到达无线接入网入口的时间(比如图4中的DL TSCAI Burst Arrival Time，也就是第一业务流的突发(burst)到达NG-RAN的时间)；
上行方向TSCAI突发到达时间，即，突发(burst)到达终端的时间(比如图5中的UL TSCAI Burst Arrival Time，也就是第一业务流的突发(burst)到达UE的时间)；
下行方向TSCAC突发到达时间，比如，突发(burst)到达UPF侧的NW-TT的时间；
上行方向TSCAC突发到达时间，比如，突发(burst)到达UE侧的DS-TT的时间。
可选的，第一网元可以根据AF提供的DL Burst Arrival Time和DL CN PDB计算得到DL TSCAI Burst Arrival Time，根据AF提供的UL Burst Arrival Time和UE-DS-TT Residence Time计算得到UL TSCAI Burst Arrival Time，具体计算方法可以参见前文的相关内容。
可选的，所述突发到达时间的调整信息为调整后的突发到达时间，或者为所述突发到达时间调整前和调整后的偏移量。
可选的，所述传输时间信息可能来自于无线接入网(RAN)，示例性的，第一网元将TSCAI/TSCAC(其中包括BAT)发送给无线接入网后，接收无线接入网发送的该BAT的调整信息。又示例性的，第一网元将TSCAI/TSCAC(其中包括BAT)发送给无线接入网后，接收无线接入网发送的相同的BAT，表示无线接入网确认使用该BAT。又示例性的，第一网元将备选BAT发送给无线接入网后，接收无线接入网发送的相同的BAT，表示无线接入网确认使用该备选BAT。又示例性的，第一网元将备选BAT发送给无线接入网后，接收无线接入网发送的BAT的调整信息。
可选的，第一网元还可以将备选突发到达时间发送给无线接入网，无线接入网发送的所述突发到达时间调整信息可以是根据所述备选突发到达时间确定的。
S1403：第一网元根据上述传输时间信息确定第一业务流的属性信息。
可选的，若所述传输时间信息为突发到达时间，则第一网元根据该突发到达时间确定第一业务流的属性信息。若所述传输时间信息为突发到达时间的调整信息，则第一网元根据该突发到达时间的调整信息或者根据调整后的突发到达时间，确定第一业务流的属性信息。
可选的，第一业务流的属性信息可以是前述Talker/Listener组信息中的部分参数。可选的，第一网元根据调整后的突发到达时间确定出的第一业务流的属性信息，包括以下至少一项：最早传输偏移(EarliestTransmitOffset)，最晚传输偏移(LatestTransmitOffset)，最大时延(MaxLatency)，发送时间(TimeAwareOffset)。这些参数的定义可参见前文描述。
S1404：第一网元将第一业务流的属性信息发送给第二网元。
可选的，第一网元可以通过向第二网元发送Talker/Listener组信息，将所述第一业务流的属性信息发送给第二网元。
第二网元接收到第一业务流的属性信息后，可以根据该信息确定并生成该业务流的E2E转发路径，并将调度参数发送给交换节点，还可以根据第一业务流的属性信息配置该第一业务流在传输网中的发送端和接收端。例如，第二网元可以根据第一业务流的属性信息生成状态信息(status)，并将该状态信息发送给第一网元，以使得第一网元将状态信息发送给第一业务流的发送端和接收端(比如在全集中式配置模型下)。在另一种可能的实现方式中，第二网元也可以直接将该状态信息发送给第一业务流的发送端和接收端(比如在全分布式配置模型下，或者在集中式网络/分布式用户配置模型下)。
基于图14所示的流程，图17和图18分别示出了两种应用场景下的信令交互示意图，具体请参见图17和图18。
上述图14所述的流程中，第一网元根据第一信息获取第一业务流的突发到达时间(BAT)的调整信息(比如通过协商过程获取BAT调整信息)后，根据调整后的突发到达时间确定第一业务流的属性 信息，从而在获取BAT调整信息后，才根据调整后的BAT确定第一业务流的属性信息，因此可以避免因突发到达时间变化而导致业务流属性频繁变化的问题。
采用上述图14所示的流程，当协同调度优化发生时，可以避免因为业务流的TSCAI/TSCAC(具体为BAT)的变化，导致TSCAI/TSCAC中的BAT计算传输网业务的TransmitOffset频繁更新，以及TN CNC频繁重新配置。
场景一
参见图15，该场景为图13所示流程中的一种应用场景，其中，RAN为接入网中的接收/发送端(如图中所示的AN-TL)，UPF为核心网中的接收/发送端(如图中所示的CN-TL)，SMF充当CUC。充当CUC的SMF通过协商调整第一业务流的突发到达时间(BAT)，在接收到来自RAN的第一指示信息后，根据调整后的BAT确定第一业务流的属性信息，以便调整第一业务流的发送时间。
如图15所示，该流程包括以下步骤：
步骤1501：UE触发PDU会话建立流程。
可选的，该步骤的具体实现方式可以参见图10中步骤1001的内容。
步骤1502：PCF向SMF发送带有TSC辅助容器的PCC规则。
可选的，该步骤的具体实现方式可以参见图10中步骤1002的内容。
可选的，在步骤1502中，PCF还可以向SMF发送第二指示信息，该第二指示信息来自于AF或应用，用于指示AF或应用支持调整发包时间或支持调整突发到达时间(BAT)。该第二指示信息也可以称为“支持调整BAT的指示”。
步骤1503：SMF向RAN发送TSCAI，所述TSCAI中包括第一业务流的BAT。
可选的，所述TSCAI中的BAT包括下行方向突发到达RAN入口的时间(比如，如图4中所示的DL TSCAI Burst Arrival Time)，和/或上行方向突发到达UE的时间(比如，如图5中所示的UL TSCAI Burst Arrival Time)。
可选的，所述TSCAI中还可以包括流方向信息和周期。流方向信息用于指示第一业务流的是上行方向还是下行方向，周期是指两个突发开始时间之间的间隔。
可选的，AF根据从CNC获取的TSN流的调度信息，确定TSN流到达5G系统入口的时间，即在下行方向TSN流到达NW-TT入口的时间(比如，如图4中的DL Burst Arrival Time)，上行方向TSN流到达DS-TT入口的时间(比如，如图5中的UL Burst Arrival Time)，并通过PCF将这些信息提供给SMF。SMF根据这些信息进一步计算在下行方向上突发到达RAN的时间(TSCAI Burst Arrival Time)，以及上行方向突发从UE发出的时间(UL TSCAI Burst Arrival Time)。SMF计算TSCAI的BAT的方法可以参考前文的相关内容。
步骤1504：RAN接收到BAT后，调整该BAT，并向SMF反馈BAT调整信息。
可选的，所述BAT调整信息可以是一个偏移量(offset)，该偏移量为BAT调整前后的差值，根据该偏移量可以确定出调整后的BAT。可选的，所述BAT调整信息也可以是调整后的BAT。当然实现时，SMF也可以直接根据偏移量进行计算。
步骤1505：SMF接收到BAT调整信息后，将该BAT调整信息发送给PCF。
可选的，若BAT为绝对时间，则SMF将5G内部时间映射为外部时间后再发送给PCF。
步骤1506：PCF向SMF发送第一指示信息。
上述步骤1503～步骤1506为一轮协商过程，通过上述协商过程可以得到BAT调整信息。
可选的，在步骤1506中，对于下行方向的传输，PCF接收到来自SMF的BAT调整信息后，可以将该BAT调整信息发送给AF或应用，以使AF或应用根据该BAT调整信息调整发包时间。
所述第一指示信息的含义可以参考前文。比如，所述第一指示信息也可以称为“确认指示”，用于指示根据调整后的BAT进行数据传输(比如对于下行方向的传输，根据该修改后的BAT确定发包时间)；或者也可以表述为：所述第一指示信息用于指示BAT不会因为跨层调度优化调整；或者也可以表述为：所述第一指示信息用于指示SMF在收到该第一指示信息后利用确认的BAT(即调整后的BAT)确定传输网业务流的属性。换言之，所述第一指示信息的作用是使得SMF根据该第一指示信息，确定BAT参数协商完成，应立即根据调整后的BAT确定相应业务流的属性信息，以便CNC根据该业务流的属性信息配置该业务流在传输网中的发送端和接收端。
可选的，PCF还可以将BAT调整信息发送给SMF。在一种可能的实现方式中，PCF可以将BAT 调整信息以及所述第一指示信息通过一个信令发送给SMF。在另一种可能的实现方式中，第一指示信息可以通过单独的信令传输。本申请实施例对此不做限制。
步骤1507：SMF接收到第一指示信息后，执行参数映射。
所述参数映射，是指根据发送端上报的信息、接收端上报的信息，进一步的还包括上述调整后的BAT等信息，确定Talker/Listener组信息，该Talker/Listener组信息也可以称为合并后的流需求(merged stream requirements)。本申请实施例中，通过参数映射，可以根据调整后的BAT确定出第一业务流的属性信息。
可选的，SMF可以根据调整后的BAT执行参数映射，也可以直接根据BAT的偏移量执行参数映射。
可选的，SMF在执行参数映射时，可以使用TSCAI BAT也可以使用TSCAC BAT。TSCAI BAT和TSCAC BAT之间，根据前文给出的方法进行转换。
可选的，根据调整后的BAT确定出的第一业务流的属性信息，可以包括以下参数中的一个或多个：最早传输偏移(EarliestTransmitOffset)，最晚传输偏移(LatestTransmitOffset)，最大时延(MaxLatency)，发送时间(TimeAwareOffset)。这些参数的定义可参见前文描述。
步骤1508：SMF将Talker/Listener组信息(或称合并后的流需求merged stream requirements)发送给CNC。
CNC接收到该Talker/Listener组信息后，根据该Talker/Listener组信息确定并生成该业务流的E2E转发路径，并将调度参数发送给交换节点。CNC还根据该Talker/Listener组信息确定需要配置给发送端和接收端的状态信息(Status)，所述状态信息也可以称为合并的端站通信配置(merged end station communication-configuration)。
可选的，CNC根据Talker/Listener组信息确定状态信息的方法，以及状态信息的内容，可以参见前文的相关内容。
步骤1509：CNC将状态信息(或称合并的端站通信配置merged end station communication-configuration)发送给SMF。
步骤1510和步骤1511：SMF根据CNC发送的状态信息，分别配置发送端(Talker)和接收端(Listener)。
可选的，SMF可以将状态信息中的TimeAwareOffset(发送端的发包时间)发送到透明容器中的CN-TL和AN-TL，使得CN-TL和AN-TL相应调整流量的发送时间。
在一种可能的实现方式中，上述协商过程可以仅进行一轮，也可以进行多轮。如果协商过程进行多轮，则在除最后一轮的其他轮协商过程中，PCF在接收到BAT调整信息后，向SMF发送BAT调整信息，仅在最后一轮协商过程中，PCF在接收到BAT调整信息后向SMF发送第一指示信息，从而使得SMF确定应立即进行参数映射，这样SMF不必利用不稳定的BAT计算业务流的属性。
在一种可能的实现方式中，无论在何种情况下，PCF都不会向SMF发送第二指示信息，也就是说，方案中未定义第二指示信息，仅定义了第一指示信息，则SMF在接收到来自PCF的PCC规则后，默认不立即进行参数映射，而是在接收到第一指示信息后进行参数映射。在另一种可能的实现方式中，方案中定义了第一指示信息和第二指示信息，如果PCF向SMF发送PCC规则时携带有第二指示信息，则SMF不立即进行参数映射，而是在接收到第一指示信息后进行参数映射；如果PCF向SMF发送PCC规则时未携带第二指示信息，则SMF可以立即进行参数映射。
上述图15所示的流程中，SMF通过AF的第二指示信息(即可接受调整指示)判断BAT可能会由于跨层调度优化被调整，从而判断不必立即发送传输网业务流的属性。SMF通过AF(PCF)的第一指示(即确认指示)判断BAT不会再由于跨层调度优化被调整，此时再确定业务流的属性信息，因而可以避免不必要的参数调整。
需要说明的是，上述图15所示的流程仅为一种示例，其中的部分步骤可以是可选步骤，步骤的时序也可能根据业务需要而调整，本申请对此不作限制。
场景二
参见图16，该场景为图13所示流程中的一种应用场景，其中，RAN为接入网中的接收/发送端(如图中所示的AN-TL)，UPF为核心网中的接收/发送端(如图中所示的CN-TL)，SMF充当CUC。充当CUC的SMF通过协商调整第一业务流的突发到达时间(BAT)，在接收到来自AF的第一指示信息后，根据调整后的BAT确定第一业务流的属性信息，以便调整第一业务流的发送时间。
如图16所示，该流程包括以下步骤：
步骤1601：UE触发PDU会话建立流程。
步骤1602：PCF向SMF发送带有TSC辅助容器的PCC规则。
步骤1603：SMF向RAN发送TSCAI，所述TSCAI中包括第一业务流的BAT。
步骤1604：RAN接收到BAT后，调整该BAT，并向SMF反馈BAT调整信息以及第一指示信息。
可选的，所述BAT调整信息可以是一个偏移量(offset)，该偏移量为BAT调整前后的差值，根据该偏移量可以确定出调整后的BAT。可选的，所述BAT调整信息也可以是调整后的BAT。
上述步骤1603～步骤1604为一轮协商过程，通过上述协商过程可以得到BAT调整信息。
所述第一指示信息的含义可以参考前文。比如，所述第一指示信息也可以称为“确认指示”，用于指示根据调整后的BAT进行数据传输(比如对于下行方向的传输，根据该修改后的BAT确定发包时间)；或者也可以表述为：所述第一指示信息用于指示BAT不会因为跨层调度优化调整；或者也可以表述为：所述第一指示信息用于指示SMF在收到该第一指示信息后利用确认的BAT(即调整后的BAT)确定传输网业务流的属性。换言之，所述第一指示信息的作用是使得SMF根据该第一指示信息，确定BAT参数协商完成，应立即根据调整后的BAT确定相应业务流的属性信息。
可选的，RAN可以将BAT调整信息以及所述第一指示信息通过一个信令发送给SMF，也可以通过单独的信令传输第一指示信息，本申请实施例对此不做限制。
作为另外一种实现，RAN可以只向SMF发送第一指示信息而不包含BAT调整信息。比如收到SMF发送的BAT时，RAN判断可以使用该BAT，就可以只发送第一指示信息。SMF根据从PCF收到的TSCAC或者存储的TSCAI执行参数映射(步骤1605)。
步骤1605：SMF接收到第一指示信息后，执行参数映射。
步骤1606：SMF将Talker/Listener组信息(或称合并后的流需求merged stream requirements)发送给CNC。
步骤1607：CNC将状态信息(或称合并的端站通信配置merged end station communication-configuration)发送给SMF。
步骤1608和步骤1609：SMF根据CNC发送的状态信息，分别配置发送端(Talker)和接收端(Listener)。
上述流程中的步骤1601～1603以及步骤1605～1609，可以参考图15中的相应步骤。
在一种可能的实现方式中，上述协商过程可以仅进行一轮，也可以进行多轮。如果协商过程进行多轮，则仅在最后一轮协商过程中，RAN在接收到BAT调整信息后向SMF发送第一指示信息，从而使得SMF确定应立即进行参数映射，这样SMF不必利用不稳定的BAT计算业务流的属性。
在一种可能的实现方式中，RAN接收到来自SMF的TSCAI后，可以仅将第一指示信息发送给SMF，而不发送BAT调整信息。比如，在多轮协商过程中，RAN在最后一轮协商过程中，仅将第一指示信息发送给SMF。
在一种可能的实现方式中，无论在何种情况下，PCF都不会向SMF发送第二指示信息，也就是说，方案中未定义第二指示信息，仅定义了第一指示信息，则SMF在接收到来自PCF的PCC规则后，默认不立即进行参数映射，而是在接收到第一指示信息后进行参数映射。在另一种可能的实现方式中，方案中定义了第一指示信息和第二指示信息，如果PCF向SMF发送PCC规则时携带有第二指示信息，则SMF不立即进行参数映射，而是在接收到第一指示信息后进行参数映射；如果PCF向SMF发送PCC规则时未携带第二指示信息，则SMF可以立即进行参数映射。
上述图16所示的流程中，在向SMF发送第二指示信息的方案中，SMF通过AF的第二指示信息(即可接受调整指示)判断BAT可能会由于跨层调度优化被调整，从而判断不必立即发送传输网业务流的属性。SMF通过RAN的第一指示(即确认指示)判断BAT不会再由于跨层调度优化被调整，此时再确定业务流的属性信息，因而可以避免不必要的参数调整。
需要说明的是，上述图16所示的流程仅为一种示例，其中的部分步骤可以是可选步骤，步骤的时序也可能根据业务需要而调整，本申请对此不作限制。
场景三
参见图17，该场景为图14所示流程中的一种应用场景，其中，RAN为接入网中的接收/发送端(如图中所示的AN-TL)，UPF为核心网中的接收/发送端(如图中所示的CN-TL)，SMF充当CUC。充当 CUC的SMF根据隐式指示(比如通过备选BAT进行隐式指示)进行一轮协商以调整第一业务流的突发到达时间(BAT)，根据调整后的BAT确定第一业务流的属性信息，以便调整第一业务流的发送时间。
如图17所示，该流程包括以下步骤：
步骤1701：UE触发PDU会话建立流程。
步骤1702：PCF向SMF发送带有TSC辅助容器的PCC规则，其中包括第一业务流的备选BAT(AltenativeBAT)。
通过备选BAT，可以隐式说明AF支持调整BAT或发包时间，以使得SMF在收到该备选BAT后，不立即执行参数映射并发送业务流的属性信息，而是执行参数协商。
步骤1703：SMF向RAN发送TSCAI以及备选BAT，所述TSCAI中包括第一业务流的BAT。
步骤1704：RAN接收到BAT后，调整该BAT，并向SMF反馈BAT调整信息。
可选的，RAN在调整BAT时，可以参考备选BAT进行调整。比如，可以选择备选BAT(窗口)中的一个值进行调整，或者根据备选BAT(窗口)中的一个值进行确定偏移量，本申请实施例对此不作限制。
上述步骤1703～步骤1704为一轮协商过程，通过上述协商过程可以得到BAT调整信息。
步骤1705：SMF接收到BAT调整信息后，执行参数映射。这种情况下，SMF收到参考备选BAT进行调整的BAT调整信息，可以默认AF会接受，从而不会有多次协商。因此SMF可以直接根据该BAT调整信息后，执行参数映射。
步骤1706：SMF将Talker/Listener组信息(或称合并后的流需求merged stream requirements)发送给CNC。
步骤1707：CNC将状态信息(或称合并的端站通信配置merged end station communication-configuration)发送给SMF。
步骤1708和步骤1709：SMF根据CNC发送的状态信息，分别配置发送端(Talker)和接收端(Listener)。
上述流程中的一些步骤的具体实现方式，可以参考图15中的相关步骤。
上述流程可以适用于一轮协商的场景，当SMF接收到BAT调整信息后，不再执行协商过程，而是进行参数映射，将第一业务流的属性信息发送给CNC，以便对交换节点、发送端和接收端进行配置。
上述图17所示的流程中，SMF通过AF的隐式指示判断BAT可能会由于跨层调度优化被调整，从而判断不必立即发送传输网业务流的属性。SMF通过RAN的隐式确认判断BAT不会再由于跨层调度优化被调整，此时再确定业务流的属性信息，因而可以避免不必要的参数调整。
上述图17所示的流程仅为一种示例，其中的部分步骤可以是可选步骤，步骤的时序也可能根据业务需要而调整，本申请对此不作限制。
场景四
参见图18，该场景为图14所示流程中的一种应用场景，其中，RAN为接入网中的接收/发送端(如图中所示的AN-TL)，UPF为核心网中的接收/发送端(如图中所示的CN-TL)，SMF充当CUC。充当CUC的SMF根据显示指示(比如第二指示信息)进行一轮协商以调整第一业务流的突发到达时间(BAT)，根据调整后的BAT确定第一业务流的属性信息，以便调整第一业务流的发送时间。
如图18所示，该流程包括以下步骤：
步骤1801：UE触发PDU会话建立流程。
步骤1802：PCF向SMF发送带有TSC辅助容器的PCC规则，其中包括第二指示信息。
所述第二指示信息也可以称为“支持调整BAT的指示”。该第二指示信息来自于AF或应用，用于指示AF或应用支持调整发包时间或支持调整BAT。
通过第二指示信息，可以显示说明AF支持调整BAT或发包时间，以使得SMF在收到该第二指示信息后，不立即执行参数映射并发送业务流的属性信息，而是执行参数协商过程。
步骤1803：SMF向RAN发送TSCAI，所述TSCAI中包括第一业务流的BAT。
步骤1804：RAN接收到BAT后，调整该BAT，并向SMF反馈BAT调整信息。
上述步骤1803～步骤1804为一轮协商过程，通过上述协商过程可以得到BAT调整信息。
步骤1805：SMF接收到BAT调整信息后，执行参数映射。
步骤1806：SMF将Talker/Listener组信息(或称合并后的流需求merged stream requirements)发送 给CNC。
步骤1807：CNC将状态信息(或称合并的端站通信配置merged end station communication-configuration)发送给SMF。
步骤1808和步骤1809：SMF根据CNC发送的状态信息，分别配置发送端(Talker)和接收端(Listener)。
上述流程中的一些步骤的具体实现方式，可以参考图15中的相关步骤。
上述流程可以适用于一轮协商的场景，当SMF接收到BAT调整信息后，不再执行协商过程，而是进行参数映射，将第一业务流的属性信息发送给CNC，以便对交换节点、发送端和接收端进行配置。
上述图18所示的流程中，SMF通过AF的显式指示判断BAT可能会由于跨层调度优化被调整，从而判断不必立即发送传输网业务流的属性。SMF通过RAN的隐式确认判断BAT不会再由于跨层调度优化被调整，此时再确定业务流的属性信息，因而可以避免不必要的参数调整。
上述图18所示的流程仅为一种示例，其中的部分步骤可以是可选步骤，步骤的时序也可能根据业务需要而调整，本申请对此不作限制。
