Technical Field

The present disclosure relates to the field of communications technologies, and in particular, to a method and an apparatus for transmitting private network service data.

Background

In the prior art, service data of a terminal can be transmitted to a service server only through transmission of a base station, a transmission ring and a core gateway. For industrial users such as enterprises and parks, since the service server is generally arranged locally and the service data is sent to the service server through the transmission ring, the transmission delay is increased, and meanwhile, the transmission network is easily congested.

In the prior art, the following solutions are generally adopted to solve the above problems:

the first scheme is as follows: and establishing an enterprise private network.

Referring to fig. 1A, in the 4G network architecture, private network service data of a terminal is sent to a corresponding service platform by establishing an enterprise private network.

The second scheme is as follows: and introducing an Edge Computing node (MEC) to realize data distribution.

Referring to fig. 1B, in the 4G network architecture, an MEC is connected in series between a base station and a core network, and an address of an Internet Protocol (IP) packet is resolved by the MEC, so that private network service data whose destination IP is a local service server is distributed to the local service server, and other public network data is normally distributed to a public network.

In the third scheme: sink User Plane entity (User Plane Function, UPF).

Referring to fig. 1C, in the 5G Network architecture, a UPF originally belonging to a fifth generation Core Network (5G Core Network, 5GC) is sunk to an access ring, and the UPF is combined with the MEC, and the UPF and the MEC perform data distribution, so as to send service data of a terminal to a service server.

However, the above three solutions have the following drawbacks:

for the first scheme, referring to fig. 1A, when an enterprise private network is established, a set of dedicated Evolved Packet Core (EPC) needs to be locally deployed, and the EPC has a high deployment cost and a high maintenance difficulty, so the first scheme cannot be widely applied.

For the second scheme, since the MEC is a non-standard network element and is not managed by an operator, when the MEC is serially connected between the base station and the core network, once the MEC fails, public network data will be affected, and in addition, the cost of the dedicated server is also high.

For the third scheme, a UPF needs to be deployed at the edge node of the access ring. At present, because the interface between the UPF and the core network is privatized, in order to implement the scheme smoothly, it is necessary to ensure that the UPF and the core network are the same manufacturer, and meanwhile, because the UPF can only sink to the level of land and county and cannot sink to the enterprise and park for use when being deployed, there is a great limitation on the application range.

It follows that a new solution needs to be devised to overcome the above drawbacks.

Detailed Description

Aiming at the problems that in the prior art, due to the fact that a core network or a network element needs to be additionally configured, operation and maintenance difficulty is high and public network data transmission is affected, in order to reduce the operation and maintenance difficulty and ensure the relative independence of a public network and a private network, in the embodiment of the disclosure, a solution for transmitting private network service data is provided.

The scheme is as follows: when the first base station determines that the terminal meets the switching condition, the first base station sends a switching request to the second base station; when receiving a switching response returned by the second base station, the first base station sends synchronous transmission configuration information to the second base station, so that the second base station sends uplink private network service data to a service server when receiving the uplink private network service data sent by the terminal; and when the first base station receives the downlink private network service data returned by the service server, the first base station encapsulates the downlink private network service data, sends the encapsulated data to the gateway router, and enables the gateway router to send the encapsulated data to the terminal through the second base station.

In order to make the technical solutions of the present disclosure better understood by those of ordinary skill in the art, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present disclosure will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Referring to fig. 2, in the embodiment of the present disclosure, a network architecture based on a 5G base station (gNB) is provided, where a private network includes network elements such as a gateway router and a service server, a public network includes an edge network formed by an access ring, a convergence ring, and a core ring, a 5GC and a corresponding internet, and meanwhile, the private network and the public network share base stations such as a gNBA, a gNBB, and a gNBC.

It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present disclosure, the gateway router and the service server may be deployed as two independent devices, or may be integrated into one physical server for deployment.

In the network architecture, the base stations of gNBA, gNBB, gNBC, etc. are configured with two backhaul physical ports: and the private network physical port and the public network physical port are respectively used for butt joint of a private network and a public network, wherein the private network physical port is connected with the gateway router and is used for transmitting private network data, and the public network physical port is connected with the access ring and is used for transmitting public network service data and public network signaling.

In the embodiment of the disclosure, a private network and a public network share a set of core network, when a terminal is accessed, the terminal is not distinguished to be a private network terminal or a public network terminal, and when the terminal initiates a related service request, a service type initiated by the terminal is determined according to an Identity Document (ID) carried in the related service request, wherein the service type refers to a private network service or a public network service.

For example, in a process of establishing a Protocol Data Unit (PDU) session of a Non-access stratum (NAS), a terminal notifies a core network of a service type initiated by the terminal by carrying a slice ID in a PDU session establishment request.

For another example, in the PDU session establishment process based on the Next Generation (NG) interface, the core network notifies the base station of the service type initiated by the terminal by carrying the slice ID in the PDU session establishment request.

In the embodiment of the disclosure, the public network and the private network share the air interface resource, and the air interface resource is ensured to be isolated through the scheduling based on the slice in the base station.

Therefore, in the embodiment of the disclosure, the user plane isolation between the public network and the private network can be realized without additionally deploying network elements such as MEC, UPF and the like or a core network, so that the transmission efficiency of private network service data and the transmission safety of public network service data are ensured, and meanwhile, because the public network and the private network share air interface resources, the network operation and maintenance difficulty is reduced, the network operation and maintenance efficiency is improved, and the operation cost is reduced.

Next, a transmission flow of private network service data will be described based on the above network architecture.

Referring to fig. 3, in the embodiment of the present disclosure, a process of transmitting private network service data is as follows:

step S301: and when the first base station determines that the terminal meets the switching condition, the first base station sends a switching request to the second base station.

Specifically, when the first base station determines that the terminal completes initial registration, first forwarding routing information from the terminal to the service server through the gateway router is stored in a preset storage location.

For example, assuming that an Internet Protocol (IP) address of the terminal is an IPU and an IP address of the service server is an IPs, as shown in fig. 2, when the gNBA determines that the terminal completes the initial registration, first forwarding routing information from the IPU to the IPs through the gateway router is stored in a preset storage location.

It should be noted that, in this embodiment of the present disclosure, when the terminal completes initial registration, other base stations in the private network need to store the first forwarding routing information.

For example, when the terminal completes the initial registration, the gNBB and gNBC store first forwarding route information characterizing the route from the IPU to the IPS through the gateway router.

Further, if the first base station receives a service request message sent by the terminal, determining that initial uplink private network service data carried in the service request message needs to be sent to the gateway router through a preset private network physical port based on a slice serial number carried in the service request message, enabling the gateway router to send the initial uplink private network service data to the service server, and enabling the gateway router to learn and store corresponding second forwarding routing information, wherein the second forwarding routing information is used for sending downlink private network service data from the service server to the first base station through the gateway router.

For example, assuming that the slice ID0 represents the private network service 0, if the gNBA receives a service request message sent by a terminal, it determines that initial uplink private network service data carried in the service request message needs to be sent to the gateway router through a preset private network physical port based on the slice ID0 carried in the service request message, and causes the gateway router to send the initial uplink private network service data to the service server, and causes the gateway router to automatically learn and store corresponding second forwarding routing information based on the received uplink private network service data, where the second forwarding routing information is used to send corresponding downlink private network service data from the service server to the gNBA through the gateway router.

Further, when the first base station determines that the terminal meets the handover condition, the first base station sends a handover request to the second base station.

It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present disclosure, the handover request may carry the first forwarding routing information.

For example, when the gNBA determines that the channel quality of the neighbor cell governed by the gNBB is higher than the channel quality of the serving cell governed by the gNBA according to the measurement report sent by the terminal, the terminal is determined to meet the handover condition, and then the gNBA sends a handover request to the gNBB, wherein the handover request carries the first forwarding route information.

Step S302: and when receiving the uplink private network service data sent by the terminal based on the synchronous transmission configuration information, the first base station sends the uplink private network service data to a corresponding service server through the gateway router based on the prestored first forwarding routing information.

In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the synchronization transmission configuration information is used to indicate that the second base station and the terminal maintain uplink synchronization, and the pre-stored first forwarding routing information may be carried in the handover request or stored when the terminal completes initial registration.

For example, when receiving a switching response returned by the gNBB, the gNBA sends synchronous transmission configuration information to the gNBB, and when receiving the uplink private network service data 1 sent by the terminal based on the synchronous transmission configuration information, the gNBA sends the uplink private network service data 1 to the corresponding service server through the gateway router based on the first forwarding routing information carried in the switching request.

It should be noted that, in this embodiment of the present disclosure, when the first base station receives a terminal context release message returned by the second base station, it is determined that the terminal is switched to the second base station, and the first forwarding routing information is deleted from the preset storage location.

For example, when receiving a terminal context release message returned by the gNBB, the gNBA determines that the terminal is switched to the gNBB, and deletes the first forwarding routing information from the IPU to the IPS from the preset storage location.

Step S303: and when receiving the downlink private network service data returned by the service server, the first base station encapsulates the downlink private network service data to generate encapsulated data containing the destination address and the downlink private network service data.

It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present disclosure, when the service server receives the uplink private network service data sent by the terminal, the service server generates corresponding downlink private network service data, and sends the downlink private network service data to the gateway router, so that the gateway router sends the downlink private network service data to the first base station based on the second forwarding routing information.

For example, when the service server receives the uplink private network service data 1 sent by the terminal, the service server generates corresponding downlink private network service data 1, and sends the downlink private network service data 1 to the gateway router, so that the gateway router sends the downlink private network service data 1 to the first base station based on the second forwarding routing information.

And when receiving the downlink private network service data returned by the service server, the first base station encapsulates the downlink private network service data to generate encapsulated data containing the destination address and the downlink private network service data.

It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present disclosure, the destination address is used to instruct the gateway router to send the encapsulated data from the first base station to the second base station.

For example, assuming that the IP address of the gNBA is IPA, the IP address of the gNBB is IPB, and the gNBA receives the downlink private network service data 1 returned by the service server, encapsulates the downlink private network service data 1, and generates encapsulated data 1 including a destination address 1 and the downlink private network service data 1, where the destination address 1 is used to instruct the gateway router to send the encapsulated data 1 from the IPA to the IPB.

Step S304: and the first base station sends the encapsulated data to the gateway router, and the gateway router sends the encapsulated data to the terminal through the second base station based on the destination address.

Specifically, the first base station sends the encapsulated data to the gateway router, the gateway router sends the encapsulated data to the second base station based on the destination address, the second base station carries out decapsulation processing on the encapsulated data, and the second base station sends downlink private network service data obtained by decapsulation to the terminal.

For example, the gNBA sends the encapsulated data 1 to the gateway router, the gateway router sends the encapsulated data 1 to the gNBB based on the destination address 1, the gNBB decapsulates the encapsulated data 1, and then the gNBB sends the downlink private network service data 1 obtained by decapsulation to the terminal.

It should be noted that, in this embodiment of the present disclosure, when receiving a handover request sent by a first base station, a second base station stores an IP address of the first base station, and further, when receiving encapsulated data sent by a gateway router, the second base station determines, based on a destination address, that a sender of the encapsulated data is the first base station and a receiver of the encapsulated data is the second base station, and performs decapsulation processing on the encapsulated data.

For example, upon receiving a handover request transmitted by the gNBA, the gNBB stores the IP address IPA of the gNBA, and upon receiving encapsulated data 1 transmitted by the gateway router, if the gNBB determines that the sender of the encapsulated data 1 is the gNBA and the receiver is the gNBB based on the destination address 1, decapsulates the encapsulated data 1.

Further, when the first base station receives a base station handover instruction sent by the second base station, the following operations are sequentially performed:

and A1, the first base station determines that the terminal is switched to the third base station based on the address information which is carried in the base station switching instruction and used for representing the third base station.

It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present disclosure, the process of switching from the second base station to the third base station and sending new uplink service data by the third base station is similar to that of step S301 and step S302, and in the process of switching from the second base station to the third base station, the second base station further needs to send the IP address of the first base station to the third base station, so that the third base station stores the IP address of the first base station.

For example, during the switch from gNBB to gNBC, gNBB also needs to send IPA to gNBC, causing gNBC to store IPA.

And when the first base station receives a base station switching instruction sent by the second base station, the first base station determines that the terminal is switched to the third base station based on address information which is carried in the base station switching instruction and used for representing the third base station.

For example, assuming that the IP address of the gNBC is IPC, when the gNBA receives the base station handover instruction sent by the gNBB, it determines that the terminal has been handed over to the third base station based on the address information IPC carried in the base station handover instruction.

And A2, when the first base station receives new downlink private network service data returned by the service server, encapsulating the new downlink private network service data based on the address information to generate new encapsulated data, wherein the new encapsulated data comprises a new destination address and new downlink private network service data.

For example, when the gNBA receives the downlink private network service data 2 returned by the service server, the downlink private network service data 2 is encapsulated based on the address information IPC, and new encapsulated data 2 is generated, where the encapsulated data 2 includes a destination address 2 and the downlink private network service data 2, where the destination address 2 is used to instruct the gateway router to send the encapsulated data 2 from the IPA to the IPC.

And A3, the first base station sends the new encapsulated data to the gateway router, and the gateway router sends the new encapsulated data to the terminal through the third base station based on the new destination address.

For example, the gNBA sends the encapsulated data 2 to the gateway router, the gateway router sends the encapsulated data 2 to the gNBC based on the destination address 2, when the gNBC receives the encapsulated data 2 sent by the gateway router, and determines that the sender of the encapsulated data 2 is the gNBA and the receiver is the gNBC based on the destination address 2, the encapsulated data 2 is decapsulated, and after the encapsulated data 2 is decapsulated by the gNBC, the gNBC sends the downlink private network service data 2 obtained by decapsulation to the terminal.

Next, a complete private network service data transmission process is described as an example.

When the terminal accesses the gNBA, firstly, if the gNBA determines that the terminal meets the switching condition, a switching request is sent to the gNBB, and the switching request carries first forwarding routing information from the IPU to the IPS. After receiving the switching request, gNBB stores first forwarding route information and IP address IPA of gNBA, then when gNBA receives a switching response returned by gNBB, gNBB sends synchronous transmission configuration information to gNBB, gNBB is made to send uplink private network service data 1 to a corresponding service server through a gateway router based on the first forwarding route information when receiving the uplink private network service data 1 sent by the terminal, and then when gNBA receives a terminal context release message returned by gNBB, the gNBB determines that the terminal has been switched to gNBB.

After the terminal is switched from the gNBA to the gNBB, when the gNBA receives downlink private network service data 1 returned by the service server, the downlink private network service data 1 is encapsulated, and encapsulated data 1 comprising a destination address 1 and the downlink private network service data 1 is generated, wherein the destination address 1 is used for instructing a gateway router to send the encapsulated data 1 to an IPB from an IPA, further, the gNBA sends the encapsulated data 1 to the gateway router, the gateway router is made to send the encapsulated data 1 to the gNBB based on the destination address 1, then, when the gNBB receives the encapsulated data 1 sent by the gateway router, based on the destination address 1, when a sender of the encapsulated data 1 is the gNBA and a receiver is the gNBB, the encapsulated data 1 is subjected to decapsulation processing, and then, the downlink private network service data 1 obtained by decapsulation is sent to the terminal by the gNBB.

And when the gNBB determines that the terminal meets the switching condition, sending a switching request to the gNBC, wherein the switching request carries first forwarding route information from the IPU to the IPS and an IP address IPA of the gNBA. After receiving the switching request, gNBC stores first forwarding route information and IPA, then when gNBB receives a switching response returned by gNBC, gNBB sends synchronous transmission configuration information to gNBC, gNBC sends uplink private network service data 2 to a corresponding service server through a gateway router based on the first forwarding route information when receiving uplink private network service data 2 sent by a terminal, and then when gNBB receives a terminal context release message returned by gNBC, gNBC determines that the terminal has been switched to gNBC.

After the terminal is switched from the gNBB to the gNBC, when the gNBA receives a base station switching instruction sent by the gNBB, the gNBA determines that the terminal is switched to a third base station based on address information IPC carried in the base station switching instruction.

Then, when the gNBA receives downlink private network service data 2 returned by the service server, the downlink private network service data 2 is encapsulated based on address information IPC, and new encapsulated data 2 is generated, wherein the encapsulated data 2 comprises a destination address 2 and the downlink private network service data 2, the destination address 2 is used for instructing a gateway router to send the encapsulated data 2 from IPA to IPC, and further, the gNBA sends the encapsulated data 2 to the gateway router, so that the gateway router sends the encapsulated data 2 to gNBC based on the destination address 2, then, when the gNBC receives the encapsulated data 2 sent by the gateway router, based on the destination address 2, when the sender of the encapsulated data 2 is the gNBA and the receiver is the gNBC, the encapsulated data 2 is de-encapsulated, and then, the gNBC sends the de-encapsulated downlink private network service data 2 to the terminal.
