控制业务带宽的方法、系统和设备Method, system and device for controlling service bandwidth

技术领域technical field

本发明涉及通信技术领域，尤其涉及一种控制业务带宽的方法、系统和设备。The present invention relates to the technical field of communication, in particular to a method, system and equipment for controlling service bandwidth.

背景技术Background technique

现阶段，针对用户的需要，开发出了越来越多的数据业务，而不同的数据业务需要分配的带宽也不同，为了能够根据数据业务合理分配带宽，现有技术使用如图1所示的模型来完成业务带宽决策和基于数据流的计费功能。当用户使用数据业务时，PCEF（Policy and Charging Enforcement Function，策略及计费执行功能）设备会通过Gx接口向PCRF（Policy and Charging Rule Function，策略及计费规则功能）设备申请带宽，PCRF设备已经提前与OCS约定了Counter-ID（参考计数标识）和Counter-Level（参考计数级别），PCRF设备通过Sy接口利用Counter-ID从OCS（Online Charging System，在线计费系统）获取对应的Counter-Level，其中，Counter-ID表示带宽决策的用户信息参考因子，比如：流量累积量或账户余额等，Counter-Level表示用户信息参考因子的值。OCS将查找到的Counter-Level通过Sy接口传递给PCRF设备，PCRF设备根据Counter-ID、Counter-Level对应的信息和已经配置的带宽决策策略来决定授权带宽，并通过Gx接口下发给PCEF设备，由PCEF设备执行并下发授权带宽。At this stage, more and more data services have been developed to meet the needs of users, and different data services require different bandwidth allocations. In order to allocate bandwidth reasonably according to data services, the existing technology uses the bandwidth shown in Figure 1. Model to complete business bandwidth decision-making and billing functions based on data flow. When a user uses data services, the PCEF (Policy and Charging Enforcement Function) device will apply for bandwidth to the PCRF (Policy and Charging Rule Function) device through the Gx interface, and the PCRF device has already The Counter-ID (reference counting identification) and Counter-Level (reference counting level) are agreed with OCS in advance, and the PCRF device uses the Counter-ID to obtain the corresponding Counter-Level from the OCS (Online Charging System, online charging system) through the Sy interface , where Counter-ID represents the user information reference factor for bandwidth decision-making, such as: traffic accumulation or account balance, etc., and Counter-Level represents the value of the user information reference factor. The OCS passes the found Counter-Level to the PCRF device through the Sy interface. The PCRF device determines the authorized bandwidth according to the information corresponding to the Counter-ID and Counter-Level and the configured bandwidth decision policy, and sends it to the PCEF device through the Gx interface. , which is executed by the PCEF device and delivers the authorized bandwidth.

但是，在现有技术中，PCRF需要通过Counter-ID和Counter-Level从OCS获取参考因子和参考因子的值，而Counter-ID和Counter-Level往往为数值或简单的字符串，只能够表达简单独立的监控指标，如：累积流量、免费资源、用户余额等。其他报文传递OCS侧的参考因子及参考因子的值也只能够表达简单的监控指标。Counter-ID和Counter-Level无法承载传递OCS中较为复杂的参考因子，使得带宽决策策略比较单调，无法表达复杂的业务信息，如类似“用户在最近3天内有过大额充值，可以使用4M带宽，超出时限后降回原始带宽”这样的复杂业务，从而导致PCRF只能利用Counter-ID和Counter-Level表达简单的业务信息，降低了带宽决策策略的丰富程度。However, in the prior art, PCRF needs to obtain reference factors and reference factor values from OCS through Counter-ID and Counter-Level, and Counter-ID and Counter-Level are often numerical values or simple strings, which can only express simple Independent monitoring indicators, such as: cumulative traffic, free resources, user balance, etc. Other messages conveying the reference factor and the value of the reference factor on the OCS side can only express simple monitoring indicators. Counter-ID and Counter-Level cannot carry and transmit more complex reference factors in OCS, making the bandwidth decision-making strategy relatively monotonous, and unable to express complex business information, such as "The user has recharged a large amount in the last 3 days, and can use 4M bandwidth As a result, PCRF can only use Counter-ID and Counter-Level to express simple service information, reducing the richness of bandwidth decision-making strategies.

Compared with the prior art in which the PCRF device performs bandwidth decision-making through the Counter-ID, Counter-Level and the bandwidth decision policy configured in the PCRF device, this solution saves the OCS from transmitting the Counter-ID and Counter-Level to the PCRF device. process, avoiding that the Counter-ID and Counter-Level in the prior art can only express simple and independent reference factors, and cannot carry and transmit more complex reference factors, thus making it impossible to make full use of the rich user information and billing process data on the OCS side The problem. In this solution, the OCS performs the bandwidth decision-making process, and the OCS directly uses the rich user information and billing process data in the OCS as bandwidth decision-making strategy factors to form a bandwidth decision-making strategy configured in the OCS, making the bandwidth decision-making strategy in the OCS more abundant. , can express more complex service information, and determine QoS information according to the bandwidth decision-making strategy configured in the OCS, which improves the richness of the bandwidth decision-making strategy.

本发明实施例提供了一种控制业务带宽的方法，用于OCS，如图8a所示，包括：An embodiment of the present invention provides a method for controlling service bandwidth, which is used for OCS, as shown in Figure 8a, including:

501，根据所述用户的业务标识，通过查询配置在所述OCS的带宽决策策略，得到与所述用户的业务标识对应的QoS信息。501. Obtain QoS information corresponding to the user's service identifier by querying a bandwidth decision policy configured in the OCS according to the user's service identifier.

其中，用户的业务标识可以是Service-Identifier信息，OCS可以获取PCRF通过Sy发送的SLR（Spending-Limit-Request）消息，SLR消息中可以携带Service-Identifier信息，若SLR消息携带Service-Identifier信息，则获取对应的业务标识，若SLR消息中没有携带Service-Identifier信息，则获取用户所有有效的业务标识。Service-Identifier信息包括如表一所示的参数，OCS在获取用户的业务标识时，也可以获取到用户的业务标识对应的带宽信息。Wherein, the service identifier of the user can be Service-Identifier information, OCS can obtain the SLR (Spending-Limit-Request) message sent by PCRF through Sy, and the SLR message can carry Service-Identifier information, if the SLR message carries Service-Identifier information, The corresponding service identifier is obtained, and if the Service-Identifier information is not carried in the SLR message, all valid service identifiers of the user are obtained. The Service-Identifier information includes the parameters shown in Table 1. When the OCS obtains the user's service identifier, it can also obtain the bandwidth information corresponding to the user's service identifier.

表一Table I

其中，OCS不再使用标准Sy协议定义的Counter-Status字段信息，而是通过Sy扩展参数，使用Service-Identifier信息来关联PCRF设备定义的charging rule和配置在OCS的带宽决策策略。现有技术中的OCS端具有带宽控制策略，该带宽控制策略用于获取带宽控制参考因子，并不涉及带宽决策过程，本方案中的带宽决策策略用于获取用户信息及计费过程数据，也用于进行带宽决策。Among them, OCS no longer uses the Counter-Status field information defined by the standard Sy protocol, but uses the Service-Identifier information to associate the charging rule defined by the PCRF device with the bandwidth decision policy configured in the OCS through the Sy extension parameter. The OCS terminal in the prior art has a bandwidth control strategy, which is used to obtain bandwidth control reference factors and does not involve the bandwidth decision-making process. The bandwidth decision-making strategy in this solution is used to obtain user information and billing process data, and also Used to make bandwidth decisions.

其中，Service-Identifier信息作为业务场景标识，可以由OCS和PCRF设备约定，比如：访问网站A的是一类Service-Identifier信息，APN（Access Point Name，接入点）为“cmnet”的业务是另一类Service-Identifier信息。Among them, the Service-Identifier information is used as a business scenario identifier, which can be agreed upon by OCS and PCRF equipment. For example, the service that visits website A is a type of Service-Identifier information, and the service whose APN (Access Point Name, access point) is "cmnet" is Another type of Service-Identifier information.

其中，QoS信息至少包括业务标识和授权带宽，QoS信息还可以包括业务流是否可用的标识、授权带宽的失效时间等信息，授权带宽是由业务标识和OCS的带宽决策策略确定的，也就是说，OCS可以根据用户的业务标识和配置的带宽决策策略确定具体需要授权给用户的带宽的大小。OCS具有丰富的参考因子，根据丰富的参考因子可以在OCS预先配置带宽决策策略，OCS根据已经获得的用户的业务标识，查询带宽决策策略，获得与用户标识对应的QoS信息。Among them, the QoS information includes at least the service identifier and the authorized bandwidth. The QoS information may also include information such as whether the service flow is available, the expiration time of the authorized bandwidth, etc. The authorized bandwidth is determined by the service identifier and the bandwidth decision policy of the OCS, that is to say , the OCS can determine the specific amount of bandwidth that needs to be authorized to the user according to the user's service identifier and the configured bandwidth decision policy. The OCS has rich reference factors. According to the rich reference factors, the bandwidth decision-making policy can be pre-configured in the OCS. The OCS queries the bandwidth decision-making policy according to the obtained user service ID, and obtains the QoS information corresponding to the user ID.

其中，配置在OCS的带宽决策策略表述易于理解，例如：带宽决策策略A表示若用户的资金余额在0-10元内，授权带宽为1M，现有技术在PCRF配置的带宽决策策略表达为“如果Counter-ID的值在[0,10)区间内，对应Counter-Level等于1”，而本方案在OCS配置的带宽决策策略表达为“如果用户的资金余额在[0,10)区间内，对应的带宽信息为1M”。Among them, the expression of the bandwidth decision policy configured in the OCS is easy to understand. For example, the bandwidth decision policy A means that if the user's fund balance is within 0-10 yuan, the authorized bandwidth is 1M. The bandwidth decision policy configured in the PCRF in the prior art is expressed as " If the value of Counter-ID is in the interval [0, 10), the corresponding Counter-Level is equal to 1", and the bandwidth decision policy configured in OCS in this solution is expressed as "If the user's fund balance is in the interval [0, 10), The corresponding bandwidth information is 1M".

其中，OCS具有丰富的参考因子，可以组成复杂的带宽决策策略表述，如“用户在最近3天内有过大额充值，可以使用4M带宽，超出时限后降回原始带宽”、“对于VIP级别的客户，始终授权10M带宽”、“对于归属集团大客户的成员，授权最小带宽不低于2M”等。Among them, OCS has a wealth of reference factors, which can form complex bandwidth decision-making strategy expressions, such as "the user has recharged a large amount in the last 3 days, can use 4M bandwidth, and return to the original bandwidth after the time limit", "for VIP level Customers, always authorize 10M bandwidth", "For members belonging to the group's major customers, the authorized minimum bandwidth is not less than 2M", etc.

502，将所述QoS信息向PCRF发送。502. Send the QoS information to the PCRF.

其中，OCS可以通过Sy向PCRF发送SLA（Spending-Limit-Acknowledge）消息，SLA消息包括QoS信息。Wherein, the OCS may send an SLA (Spending-Limit-Acknowledge) message to the PCRF through Sy, and the SLA message includes QoS information.

可选的，如图8b所示，在用户带宽发生变化的场景下，本方案还可以包括：Optionally, as shown in Figure 8b, in the scenario where the user bandwidth changes, this solution may also include:

501b，所述OCS检测用户带宽是否发生变化。501b. The OCS detects whether the user bandwidth changes.

在用户使用数据流量的过程中，用户的带宽会发生变化，此时，OCS能够根据通过Gy监控到的流量累积量或用户余额等信息，检测到用户带宽是否发生变化。When a user uses data traffic, the user's bandwidth will change. At this time, OCS can detect whether the user's bandwidth has changed based on the accumulated traffic or user balance monitored through Gy.

502b，若用户带宽发生变化，所述OCS根据配置在OCS中的带宽决策策略，向PCRF发送QoS信息。502b. If the user bandwidth changes, the OCS sends QoS information to the PCRF according to the bandwidth decision policy configured in the OCS.

其中，若用户带宽发生变化，OCS不必接收PCRF发送的请求信息等信息，就可以根据配置在OCS中的带宽决策策略，通过Sy向PCRF主动发送SNR（Spending-Notification-Request）消息，SNR消息包括QoS信息。Among them, if the user bandwidth changes, the OCS does not need to receive information such as the request information sent by the PCRF, but can actively send an SNR (Spending-Notification-Request) message to the PCRF through Sy according to the bandwidth decision policy configured in the OCS. The SNR message includes QoS information.

其中，SNR消息也可以包括Service-Qos-Definition信息，Service-Qos-Definition信息至少包括QoS信息。Wherein, the SNR message may also include Service-Qos-Definition information, and the Service-Qos-Definition information includes at least QoS information.

其中，若用户带宽没有发生变化，OCS保持原有状态，不会向PCRF设备发送QoS信息。Wherein, if the user bandwidth does not change, the OCS maintains the original state and does not send QoS information to the PCRF equipment.

本发明实施例提供的一种控制业务带宽的方法，能够使OCS获取用户的业务标识，并根据用户的业务标识和配置在OCS中的带宽决策策略，得到对应的QoS信息，并将QoS信息发送至PCRF设备。与由PCRF设备通过Counter-ID、Counter-Level和配置在PCRF设备中的带宽决策策略执行带宽决策的现有技术相比，本方案省去了OCS向PCRF设备传送Counter-ID和Counter-Level的过程，避免了现有技术中的Counter-ID和Counter-Level只能表达简单独立的参考因子，无法承载、传递较为复杂的参考因子，从而无法充分利用OCS侧丰富的用户信息及计费过程数据的问题。本方案由OCS执行带宽决策的过程，由OCS直接利用OCS中丰富的用户信息及计费过程数据作为带宽决策策略因子，形成配置在OCS中的带宽决策策略，使得OCS中的带宽决策策略更加丰富，能够表达更加复杂的业务信息，并根据配置在OCS中的带宽决策策略，确定QoS信息，提高了带宽决策策略的丰富程度A method for controlling service bandwidth provided by an embodiment of the present invention enables the OCS to obtain the user's service identifier, obtain corresponding QoS information according to the user's service identifier and the bandwidth decision policy configured in the OCS, and send the QoS information to to the PCRF device. Compared with the prior art in which the PCRF device performs bandwidth decision-making through the Counter-ID, Counter-Level and the bandwidth decision policy configured in the PCRF device, this solution saves the OCS from transmitting the Counter-ID and Counter-Level to the PCRF device. process, avoiding that the Counter-ID and Counter-Level in the prior art can only express simple and independent reference factors, and cannot carry and transmit more complex reference factors, thus making it impossible to make full use of the rich user information and billing process data on the OCS side The problem.

其中，QoS信息是由OCS根据用户的业务标识，通过查询配置在OCS的带宽决策策略得到的，QoS信息至少包括：业务标识和授权带宽，授权带宽是由业务标识和OCS的带宽决策策略确定的，也就是说，OCS可以根据用户的业务标识和配置的带宽决策策略确定具体需要授权给用户的带宽的大小。Among them, the QoS information is obtained by the OCS by querying the bandwidth decision policy configured in the OCS according to the service ID of the user.
