Transmission method and device for control signaling

Abstract

Disclosed are a control signaling transmission method and equipment, the method comprising: a transponder receives control signaling carrying rule matching information; the rule matching information includes classification information and a mobile context identifier of a user equipment; the transponder matches according to the rule Information acquisition of a processing rule corresponding to the rule matching information, the processing rule includes rule description information and forwarding routing information, and the processing rule corresponding to the rule matching information is a processing rule in which the rule description information matches the rule matching information; The forwarder forwards the control signaling to a next-hop network element of the control signaling according to the acquired forwarding routing information of the processing rule. The present invention can realize the transmission of the control signaling based on the mobile context addressing of the user equipment under the cloud network, and can avoid the cross-data center signaling interaction caused by the migration of the mobile context of the user equipment between network elements, and save the transmission of the cloud network resource.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the communication field, in particular to a control signaling transmission method and equipment. Background technique [0002] In the mobile network, according to the different functions that the network element is responsible for, the network element will maintain the mobile context of each user equipment, and these mobile contexts include the information required to provide services for the user equipment, and the information includes static information, dynamic information, etc. . For example, in a mobile management entity (MME, Mobile Management Entity), the mobile context includes: International Mobile Subscriber Identity (IMSI, International Mobile Subscriber Identity), equipment identity (MEIdentity), mobile management context (MM Context), bearer context ( EPS bearer Context), Serving Gateway (S-GW, Serving Gateway) interface identifier and tunnel endpoint identifier (TEID, Tunnel Endpoint ID), reduction of idl...

Problems solved by technology

However, it is currently becoming a trend to virtualize network element functions and deploy them in the data center in the form of a virtual network function (VNF, Virtual Network Function). The pattern of context binding to specific network elements presents challenges

[0005] Due to the dynamic adjustment requirements of cloud network management, load balancing, and power saving, the switching of network elements that provide services for user equipment may become the norm, and the migration of the mobile context of user equipment between network elements requires a large number of cross-data center signaling Interaction, thus greatly occupying the transmission resources of the cloud network
