Problems solved by technology

[0017] For the above scenarios, the existing activation application event detection mechanism cannot meet the needs of these users to share application event detection rules when conducting business
The existing mechanism only implements the establishment of independent application event detection rules for each user. If the existing mechanism is used to meet the above application requirements, it will lead to problems such as low efficiency of subscription / activation application event detection, complex maintenance and management, etc. Unable to meet the requirement that the same application event detection rule be applied to multiple users

Embodiment 1

[0079] Embodiment 1: implement policy control by using network system level policy.

[0080] For some restricted applications specified by network operators, PCC uses the same application event detection rules and adopts the same policy for all network users. In this embodiment, the PCEF and PFO integration architecture is adopted, and the filtering rules of network system level application events are configured on the PFO functional entity for all users using the functional entity. The filtering rules include the related information (such as IP quintuple), and configure corresponding control policies at the same time. After PCRF activates the application event detection rules at the network system level, once any user launches the restricted application, when the data packets of the restricted application pass through the PFO function, the application event detection rules at the network system level will detect the If the data packet matches the filter rule, the "closed" ga...

Embodiment 2

[0094] Embodiment 2: Realize PFO control by using user group-level application event detection rules (user groups are represented by user group identifiers)

[0095] In this embodiment, the PCEF and PFO integration architecture is used, the filtering rules and user group information of each application event are configured on the PFO, the PCRF activates the user group-level application event detection to the PFO, and after the PFO detects the application, Dynamically request the charging policy from the PCRF. The PCRF generates a policy rule according to the operator's policy and sends it to the PCEF. The PCEF charges the detected service data flow according to the policy rule.

[0096] Many users watch IPTV video-on-demand services (VOD) by paying monthly. The PCC architecture can use the same application event detection rules to detect the VOD services carried out by these monthly paying users, so as to adopt the same billing strategy. Taking the VOD application as an exampl...

Embodiment 3

[0113] Embodiment 3: Utilize user group-level policies to implement policy control (user groups are represented by user lists)

[0114] Operators can divide users of the same level into a user group, and implement the same QoS control policy for all users under the user group to carry out services.

[0115] In this embodiment, the PCEF is separated from the PFO architecture, and the PFO is an independent functional entity. The PCRF activates user group-level application event detection to the PFO. After the PFO detects relevant applications according to the application event detection and filtering rules issued by the PCRF, Dynamically request the QoS policy from the PCRF. The PCRF generates a policy rule according to the operator's policy and sends it to the PCEF. The PCEF performs QoS control on the detected application according to the policy rule. Taking the online game application as an example, the process of using the user group-level application event detection rules t...

Abstract

The embodiment of the invention provides a method for application event detection. The method comprises the following steps: a packet fluid optimizing (PFO) functional entity acquires application range information of an application event detection rule; and the PFO applies the application event detection rule to perform the application event detection in a corresponding application range according to the application range information of the application event detection rule. The embodiment of the invention also provides a system for the application event detection and the packet fluid optimizing functional entity. Through assigning the application range of the application event detection rule, the method sets the application event detection rule applied to multiple users, and adopts the same application event detection rule in the range, so that users with the same strategy demand can share the application event detection rule, so as to achieve the aims of simplifying control, improving control efficiency and reducing detection management and maintenance complexity.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the communication field, in particular to a method and system for application event detection and a packet flow optimization functional entity. Background technique [0002] The third-generation mobile communication standardization partnership project (3GPP) defines a policy and charging control (PCC, Policy and Charging Control) architecture to meet different quality of service (QoS) control and charging requirements for different services . The PCC framework is a functional framework that can be applied to multiple access technologies. Some typical access technologies include Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS) Terrestrial Radio Access Network (UTRAN), GSM / EDGE Radio Access Network (GERAN) And I-WLAN (InterworkingWLAN, interworking WLAN (specifically refers to the alley with 3GPP system)) and so on. The PCC architecture is defined in TS 23.203, such as figure 1 shown. [0003] The PCC framework mainly implem...
