Description

Technical Field

[0002] When businesses need fixed-line telephone voice communication services, operators provide these services to customers through the fiber-to-the-x (FTTx) network surrounding the business or by using fiber cores in local trunk optical cables.

[0043] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0044] It should be noted that in the embodiments of this application, the words "exemplary" or "for example" are used to indicate examples, illustrations, or explanations. Any embodiment or design scheme described as "exemplary" or "for example" in the embodiments of this application should not be construed as being more preferred or advantageous than other embodiments or design schemes. Specifically, the use of the words "exemplary" or "for example" is intended to present the relevant concepts in a specific manner.

[0045] To facilitate a clear description of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application, the terms "first" and "second" are used in the embodiments of this application to distinguish the same or similar items with essentially the same function and effect. Those skilled in the art can understand that the terms "first" and "second" are not intended to limit the quantity or execution order.

[0046] As described in the background section, when an enterprise needs to conduct fixed-line telephone voice communication services, the operator needs to connect the service aggregation equipment to the telephone through the FTTx network so that the telephone can carry out voice communication services through the FTTx network.

[0047] Figure 1 A schematic diagram is shown of a telephone providing voice communication services via an FTTx network, as follows: Figure 1 As shown, telephone 101 can send voice communication data to PON device 102. After receiving the voice communication data, PON device 102 can send the voice communication data to optical line terminal (OLT) 104 through optical splitter 103, thereby enabling telephone 101 to perform voice communication services through OLT 104.

[0048] Currently, the OLTs in the operator's data center are connected to the enterprise's optical splitters via a large number of optical cables. Therefore, operator maintenance personnel need to use optical splitters that are already connected to the FTTx network around the enterprise to connect to telephones, or use the fiber cores of the backbone optical cables to connect the optical splitters, so that the optical splitters can be connected to telephones.

[0049] However, providing fixed-line voice communication services via FTTx networks requires the presence of FTTx network splitters around the enterprise and necessitates the re-laying of optical cables. Conversely, providing fixed-line voice communication services through the cores of trunk optical cables consumes the operator's limited trunk optical cable resources, requiring not only re-laying of cables but also significant implementation difficulties. Both methods require laying a large amount of optical cable between the enterprise and the operator's OLT in the data center, resulting in substantial costs.

[0050] To address the aforementioned problems, this application provides a communication method applied to an access network device. It includes: the access network device receiving voice communication data sent by a communication gateway through a pre-configured wireless LAN communication path. The voice communication data is sent from a wired communication device to the communication gateway. The wireless LAN communication path is the communication path between the access network device and the communication gateway. Then, the access network device can send the voice communication data to a serving aggregation device through a core network device.

[0051] As shown above, access network devices can receive voice communication data sent by wired communication devices through the wireless LAN communication path, without needing to transmit voice communication data through optical fiber. Furthermore, when access network devices send voice communication data to the serving aggregation device through the core network device, there is no need to lay new optical fiber cables. In this way, wired communication devices can transmit voice communication data without traversing a large amount of optical fiber, saving significant costs.

[0052] This communication method is applicable to communication systems. Figure 2 One structure of the communication system is shown. For example... Figure 2 As shown, the communication system includes: wired communication equipment 201, communication gateway 202, access network equipment 203, core network equipment 204, and service aggregation equipment 205.

[0053] The wired communication device 201 and the communication gateway 202 are communicatively connected. The communication gateway 202 and the access network device 203 are communicatively connected via a wireless LAN communication path. The access network device 203 and the core network device 204 are communicatively connected. The core network device 204 and the service aggregation device 205 are communicatively connected.

[0054] Optionally, the wired communication device 201 can be a digital telephone, an Internet Protocol (IP) telephone, a traditional telephone, etc., and this application embodiment does not limit it.

[0055] Optionally, the communication gateway 202 can be a 5G CPE. The access network equipment 203 can be a base station. The core network equipment 204 can be a User Plane Function (UPF). The service aggregation equipment 205 can be equipment in an operator's data center.

[0056] Optionally, the wireless LAN communication path can be a 5G Local Area Network (LAN). A 5G LAN is a LAN carried on a 5G network.

[0057] In this application, wired communication device 201 is used to transmit voice communication data. After receiving the voice communication data transmitted by wired communication device 201, communication gateway 202 transmits the voice communication data to access network device 203 via a wireless local area network communication path. Then, after receiving the voice communication data, access network device 203 transmits the voice communication data to core network device 204. Afterwards, core network device 204, upon receiving the voice communication data, transmits the voice communication data to serving aggregation device 205.

[0058] In this scenario, after receiving voice communication data, the service aggregation device 205 sends the voice communication data to the core network device 204. The core network device 204, upon receiving the voice communication data, then sends the voice communication data to the access network device 203. Next, the access network device 203, upon receiving the voice communication data, sends the voice communication data to the communication gateway 202. Subsequently, the communication gateway 202, upon receiving the voice communication data, sends the voice communication data to other wired communication devices 201, enabling the wired communication devices 201 to provide voice communication services.

[0059] In practical applications, since telephones typically use narrowband services when implementing voice communication services, this network communication system can be applied to narrowband services.

[0060] In one feasible way Figure 3 Another structure of this communication system is shown. (Combined with...) Figure 2 ,like Figure 3 As shown, the communication system includes: a telephone 301 (i.e., the wired communication device 201 in this application), a first passive optical network (PON) device 302 (also known as a large optical modem), a first 5G gateway 303 (i.e., the communication gateway 202 in this application), a first base station 304 (i.e., the access network device 203 in this application), a UPF 305 (i.e., the core network device 204 in this application), a second base station 306, a second 5G gateway 307, a switch 308, a second PON device 309, an optical splitter 310, and an OLT 311 (the second 5G gateway 307, the switch 308, the second PON device 309, the optical splitter 310, and the OLT 311 are the service aggregation device 205 in this application).

[0061] In this configuration, telephone 301 is connected to the downlink port of the first PON device 302 via a telephone line. The uplink port of the first PON device 302 is connected to the first 5G gateway 303 via a network cable. The first 5G gateway 303 is connected to the first base station 304 via a 5G LAN (i.e., the wireless local area network communication path in this application) via a 5G wireless port. The first base station 304, UPF 305, and second base station 306 are connected in sequence. The 5G wireless ports of the second base station 306 and the second 5G gateway 307 are connected via a 5G LAN. The second 5G gateway 307 is connected to the switch 308 via a network cable. The switch 308 is connected to the second PON device 309 via a network cable. The second PON device 309 is connected to the optical splitter 310 via an optical cable. The optical port of the optical splitter 310 is connected to the OLT 311 via an optical cable.

[0062] It should be noted that the OLT311 connects to the IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) via fiber optic cable. The IMS is used to provide voice communication services to telephones.

[0063] Optionally, the physical devices of the first PON device 302 and the second PON device 309 can be optical network units (ONUs) capable of transmitting voice communication data.

[0064] The first PON device 302 and the second PON device 309 are also known as integrated access devices. They can be used in optical access networks, have more ports and stronger functions, possess certain Layer 2 switching capabilities, and support protocols such as Session Initiation Protocol (SIP). They can provide multiple ports, including telephone, Ethernet, and optical ports. The physical devices of the first PON device 302 and the second PON device 309 can be Optical Network Units (ONUs) capable of transmitting communication data. Their number of ports can be 16, 32, 64, etc.

[0065] It should be noted that since the port of switch 308 is an Ethernet port, it uses the Ethernet protocol at Layer 2, while OLT311 does not support the Ethernet protocol. Therefore, switch 308 and OLT311 cannot communicate directly. Thus, the second PON device 309 is used to convert voice communication data between switch 308 and OLT311.

[0066] The SIP protocol can create, modify, and release sessions of one or more participants, providing complete session creation and session modification services for a variety of instant messaging services.

[0067] Optionally, switch 308 may include Virtual Local Area Network (VLAN) functionality and network management capabilities, enabling it to exchange Layer 2 Ethernet packets and connect multiple secondary PON devices 302. Operator maintenance personnel can manage and maintain voice communication data through the switch's network management functions.

[0068] Optionally, the first 5G gateway 303 and the second 5G gateway 307 may include data communication routing functions and data communication protocol conversion functions. The first 5G gateway 303 and the second 5G gateway 307 can also be combined with technologies such as UltraReliable Low Latency Communication (URLLC) and Transmission Sequence Number (TSN). The first 5G gateway 303 and the second 5G gateway 307 can also directly subscribe to a 5G LAN Data Network Name (DNN), eliminating the need for allocated IP addresses.

[0069] Optionally, the optical splitter 310 can perform demultiplexing and multiplexing functions. The input port of the optical splitter 310 has only one port that communicates with the OLT 311 via optical fiber, while the output port has multiple ports that communicate with multiple second PON devices 309 via optical fiber. The output ports of the optical splitter 310 can be 2, 4, 8, 16, or 32, corresponding to model ratios of 1:2, 1:4, 1:8, 1:16, and 1:32, respectively.

[0070] Optionally, the uplink optical port of the OLT311 can be connected to the IMS via optical fiber, and the downlink optical port of the OLT (1 Gigabyte (G) or 10 G) can be connected to the splitter 310 via optical fiber.

[0071] Optionally, the communication system also includes a monitoring client 313. The monitoring client 313 is connected to the operator's network management center 312. The operator's network management center 312 collects the device operation information of each device in the communication system periodically through the network management protocol and sends the device operation information to the monitoring client 313 in order to maintain each device in the communication system.

[0072] Optionally, when a device malfunctions, the monitoring client 313 can obtain the operating information of the malfunctioning device through the operator's network management center 312, and can output alarm information via SMS, voice, vibration, etc., so that the operator's maintenance personnel can handle the malfunctioning device.

[0073] Optionally, the physical device of the monitoring client 313 can be a server, a terminal, or other types of electronic devices, and this application embodiment does not limit this.

[0074] It should be noted that in this application, the UPF in the network communication system is connected to a Session Management Function (SMF).

[0075] Optionally, the aforementioned terminal may be a device that provides voice and / or data connectivity to a user, a handheld device with wireless connectivity, or other processing device connected to a wireless modem. The terminal may communicate with one or more core networks via a radio access network (RAN). The terminal may be a mobile terminal, such as a mobile phone (or "cellular" phone) and a computer with a mobile terminal, or a portable, pocket-sized, handheld, computer-embedded, or vehicle-mounted mobile device that exchanges voice and / or data with the radio access network, such as a mobile phone, tablet computer, laptop computer, netbook, or personal digital assistant (PDA).

[0076] Optionally, the aforementioned server can be a server in a server cluster (composed of multiple servers), a chip in the server, a system-on-a-chip in the server, or a virtual machine (VM) deployed on a physical machine. This application embodiment does not limit this.

[0077] like Figure 4 The diagram shown is a hardware structure schematic of a communication device provided in an embodiment of this application. The communication device includes a processor 21, a memory 22, a communication interface 23, and a bus 24. The processor 21, the memory 22, and the communication interface 23 are connected via the bus 24.

[0078] Processor 21 is the control center of the communication device. It can be a single processor or a collective term for multiple processing elements. For example, processor 21 can be a general-purpose central processing unit (CPU) or other general-purpose processors. Among them, the general-purpose processor can be a microprocessor or any conventional processor.

[0079] As one embodiment, processor 21 may include one or more CPUs, for example Figure 5 CPU 0 and CPU 1 are shown in the diagram.

[0080] The memory 22 may be a read-only memory (ROM) or other type of static storage device capable of storing static information and instructions, random access memory (RAM) or other type of dynamic storage device capable of storing information and instructions, or electrically erasable programmable read-only memory (EEPROM), disk storage media or other magnetic storage devices, or any other medium capable of carrying or storing desired program code in the form of instructions or data structures and accessible by a computer, but is not limited thereto.

[0081] In one possible implementation, the memory 22 can exist independently of the processor 21. The memory 22 can be connected to the processor 21 via a bus 24 and is used to store instructions or program code. When the processor 21 calls and executes the instructions or program code stored in the memory 22, it can implement the communication method provided in the following embodiments of this application.

[0082] In this embodiment, the software programs stored in the memory 22 are different for the access network device 203 and the core network device 204, therefore the functions implemented by the access network device 203 and the core network device 204 are different. The functions performed by each device will be described in conjunction with the following flowchart.

[0083] In another possible implementation, the memory 22 can also be integrated with the processor 21.

[0084] Communication interface 23 is used for connecting the communication device to other devices via a communication network, such as Ethernet, wireless access network, wireless local area network (WLAN), etc. Communication interface 23 may include a receiving unit for receiving data and a transmitting unit for sending data.

[0085] Bus 24 can be an industry standard architecture (ISA) bus, a peripheral component interconnect (PCI) bus, or an extended industry standard architecture (EISA) bus, etc. This bus can be divided into address bus, data bus, control bus, etc. For ease of representation, Figure 4 The bus is represented by a single thick line, but this does not mean that there is only one bus or one type of bus.

[0086] Figure 5 Another hardware structure of the communication device in an embodiment of this application is shown. For example... Figure 5 As shown, the communication device may include a processor 31 and a communication interface 32. The processor 31 is coupled to the communication interface 32.

[0087] The functions of processor 31 can be referred to in the description of processor 21 above. In addition, processor 31 also has a storage function, and can perform the functions of memory 22 mentioned above.

[0088] The communication interface 32 is used to provide data to the processor 31. The communication interface 32 can be an internal interface of the communication device or an external interface of the communication device (equivalent to communication interface 23).

[0089] It should be pointed out that, Figure 4 (or Figure 5 The structure shown in the diagram does not constitute a limitation on the communication device, except... Figure 4 (or Figure 5 In addition to the components shown in the diagram, the communication device may include more or fewer components than shown, or combine certain components, or have different component arrangements.

[0090] The communication method provided in the embodiments of this application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0091] The communication method provided in the embodiments of this application is applied to Figure 2 The access network device 203 in the communication system shown. For example... Figure 6 As shown, the communication method provided in this application embodiment includes:

[0092] S601. The access network device receives voice communication data sent by the communication gateway through a pre-configured wireless LAN communication path.

[0093] Voice communication data is sent from wired communication devices to the communication gateway. The wireless LAN communication path is the communication path between the access network devices and the communication gateway.

[0094] Specifically, wired communication devices can send voice communication data to the communication gateway. Since the communication path between the communication gateway and the access network device is a pre-configured wireless LAN communication path, the communication gateway can send voice communication data to the access network device through this wireless LAN communication path.

[0095] Optionally, the wireless LAN communication path can be a 5G LAN.

[0096] S602. Access network equipment sends voice communication data to service aggregation equipment through core network equipment.

[0097] Specifically, after receiving voice communication data from the communication gateway via a wireless LAN communication path, the access network device can send voice communication data to the core network device. Subsequently, the core network device, upon receiving the voice communication data, can send it to the serving aggregation device. Since the serving aggregation device can connect to IMS, which provides voice communication services, wired communication devices can implement voice communication services by sending voice communication data to IMS. Furthermore, because the communication path between the communication gateway and the access network device is a wireless LAN communication path, and both the access network device and the core network device are already installed, there is no need to lay fiber optic cables between the communication gateway and the serving aggregation device to provide voice communication services to wired communication devices.

[0098] It should be noted that because the communication gateway and access network equipment are wirelessly connected, and the distance between the communication gateway and the wired communication equipment is relatively short, the connection cost is low. Therefore, the communication gateway and wired communication equipment can be placed anywhere within the signal coverage area of ​​the access network equipment.

[0099] For example, assume the wired communication device is a telephone. The telephone can send voice communication data to a 5G gateway (i.e., the communication gateway in this application). Then, the 5G gateway can send voice communication data to a base station (i.e., the access network device in this application) via a pre-configured 5G LAN (i.e., the wireless local area network communication path in this application). After receiving the voice communication data, the base station can send the voice communication data to the UPF (i.e., the core network device in this application). Then, the UPF sends the voice communication data to the equipment in the operator's data center (i.e., the service aggregation device in this application). Next, the equipment in the operator's data center sends the voice communication data to the IMS, enabling the IMS to provide voice communication services to the telephone.

[0100] In some embodiments, combined with Figure 6 ,like Figure 7 As shown, before the access network device receives voice communication data sent by the communication gateway through a pre-configured wireless local area network communication path, the communication method provided in this application embodiment further includes:

[0101] S701, Access network equipment obtains the device identifier of wired communication equipment.

[0102] Specifically, to enable private network communication within a group of multiple wired devices, the access network device can, in response to manually executed operations, divide the multiple wired communication devices into different Virtual Network (VN) groups. Voice communication services cannot be provided between multiple wired communication devices in different VN groups. In this case, the access network device can obtain the device identifier of the wired communication device.

[0103] Optionally, the access network device may obtain the device identifier of the wired communication device in response to a manually performed configuration operation.

[0104] S702. Access network equipment: Identify the network equipment corresponding to the equipment identifier.

[0105] Network equipment includes: access network equipment, core network equipment, and service aggregation equipment.

[0106] Specifically, after obtaining the device identifier of the wired communication device, the access network device can determine the network device corresponding to the wired communication device for transmitting voice communication data. Then, the access network device can group the wired communication device and its corresponding network device into a VN group. In this case, the voice communication device transmits voice communication data through the network devices within the VN group, without needing to pass through other nodes; therefore, the latency for transmitting voice communication data is low.

[0107] Optionally, a network device may belong to one VN group or multiple VN groups, and this application embodiment does not limit this.

[0108] S703. In response to the communication configuration operation, the access network device establishes a communication path between the communication gateway and the network device.

[0109] The communication path includes the wireless LAN communication path.

[0110] Specifically, since there is a wireless communication path between the communication gateway and the network device, the access network device can respond to the communication configuration operation and establish a wireless LAN communication path between the communication gateway and the network device based on the wireless communication path, so that the wired communication device can realize private network communication through the wireless LAN communication path.

[0111] Optionally, communication configuration operations can be performed manually. Alternatively, operator maintenance personnel can also perform communication configuration operations on communication gateways and core network equipment.

[0112] Optionally, operator maintenance personnel can also perform communication configuration operations on base stations through the operator's network management center, or third-party (such as base station manufacturers) personnel can perform communication configuration operations on the base stations.

[0113] It should be noted that operators' maintenance personnel only need to configure the access network equipment, core network equipment, and communication gateway to conduct voice communication through the wireless LAN communication path, without the need to lay a large number of optical cables, which can save costs.

[0114] For example, assume that enterprise A has a communication gateway A and enterprise B has a communication gateway B. Communication gateways A and B are connected to the equipment in the operator's equipment room (i.e., the service aggregation equipment in this application) via a 5G LAN (i.e., the wireless local area network communication path in this application), and the network equipment corresponding to communication gateways A and B is the same. When enterprise A and enterprise B need telephones (i.e., wired communication equipment in this application) for private network voice communication, the operator's maintenance personnel can perform communication configuration operations on the base station (i.e., the access network equipment in this application), that is, configure parameters such as 5G Virtual Network (VN) group identifier, 5G VN group member information (i.e., device identifier in this application), and 5G VN group data (such as Protocol Data Unit (PDU) session type, DNN, etc.) on the base station.

[0115] In response to a communication configuration operation, the base station can assign communication gateway A and its corresponding network device to a first VN group. Then, the telephone connected to communication gateway A (i.e., the wired communication device in this application) can communicate with other telephones in the first VN group via a private network. The base station can also, in response to a communication configuration operation, assign communication gateway B and its corresponding network device to a second VN group. Then, the telephone connected to communication gateway B can communicate with other telephones in the second VN group via a private network.

[0116] In some embodiments, combined with Figure 7 ,like Figure 8 As shown, in S602 above, the access network device sending the voice communication data to the serving aggregation device through the core network device specifically includes:

[0117] S801. Access network devices send voice communication data to service aggregation devices through core network devices based on communication paths.

[0118] Specifically, after establishing a communication path between the communication gateway and network devices, the access network device can receive voice communication data sent by the communication gateway based on the wireless LAN communication path within that path. Subsequently, the access network device can send voice communication data to the core network device based on the communication path, enabling the core network device to send voice communication data to the serving aggregation device.

[0119] The communication method provided in the embodiments of this application is applied to Figure 2 The core network device 204 in the communication system shown is an example. Figure 9 As shown, the communication method provided in this application embodiment includes:

[0120] S901. The core network equipment receives voice communication data sent to the core network equipment by the wired communication equipment through the communication gateway and the access network equipment.

[0121] The communication path between the access network device and the communication gateway is a pre-configured wireless LAN communication path.

[0122] Specifically, after configuring the wireless LAN communication path between the access network device and the communication gateway, the access network device can receive voice communication data sent by the wired communication device through the communication gateway via the wireless LAN communication path. Then, the access network device sends the received voice communication data to the core network device.

[0123] S902, the core network equipment sends voice communication data to the service aggregation equipment.

[0124] Specifically, in order for wired communication equipment to enable voice communication services, the core network equipment can send voice communication data to the service aggregation equipment after receiving voice communication data, so that the service aggregation equipment can send voice communication data to the IMS.

[0125] In some embodiments, combined with Figure 9 ,like Figure 10 As shown, in the above 902, the core network equipment sending voice communication data to the serving aggregation equipment specifically includes:

[0126] S1001. When the core network device and the service aggregation device are connected via a direct communication path, the core network device sends voice communication data to the service aggregation device through the first communication interface.

[0127] Specifically, when the core network device and the service aggregation device are connected via a direct communication path, after receiving voice communication data, the core network device sends the voice communication data to the service aggregation device through its first communication interface.

[0128] Optionally, the first communication interface can be the N6 interface of the UPF.

[0129] The N6 interface is the interface between the UPF and the data network (i.e., the service aggregation device in this application).

[0130] Optionally, the UPF's N6 interface can also be used in high-traffic scenarios with hub connections, for central data centers and Layer 3 communication scenarios.

[0131] Combining the examples above, such as Figure 11As shown, telephone 1101 (i.e., the wired communication device in this application) sends voice communication data to user-side PON device 1102. Then, user-side PON device 1102 sends voice communication data to user-side 5G gateway 1103. Subsequently, user-side 5G gateway 1103 sends voice communication data to base station 1104 via 5G LAN (i.e., the wireless local area network communication path in this application). Afterwards, base station 1104 sends voice communication data to UPF 1105 via the transmission network. Since UPF 1105 is connected to the operator's equipment room-side switch 1106 (the service aggregation equipment may include operator's equipment room-side switch 1106, operator's equipment room-side PON device 1107, operator's equipment room-side optical splitter 1108, and OLT 1109) via the transmission network (i.e., the direct communication path in this application), after receiving the voice communication data, UPF 1105 sends the voice communication data to operator's equipment room-side switch 1106 via the N6 interface. Subsequently, the switch 1106 on the operator's equipment room side sends voice communication data to the OLT 1109 through the PON device 1107 and the optical splitter 1108 on the operator's equipment room side.

[0132] S1002. When the core network device and the service aggregation device are connected via a non-direct communication path, and the core network device corresponding to the communication gateway and the core network device corresponding to the service aggregation device are the same core network device, the core network device sends voice communication data to the access network device corresponding to the service aggregation device through the second communication interface.

[0133] Specifically, when the core network device and the service aggregation device are connected via a non-direct communication path, and the core network device corresponding to the communication gateway and the core network device corresponding to the service aggregation device are the same core network device, after receiving the voice communication data, the core network device sends the voice communication data to the service aggregation device through the second communication interface of the core network device.

[0134] Optionally, the second communication interface can be the N3 interface of the UPF.

[0135] The N3 interface is the interface between the base station and the UPF.

[0136] Combining the examples above, such as Figure 12As shown, telephone 1201 sends voice communication data to user-side PON device 1202. Next, user-side PON device 1202 sends voice communication data to user-side 5G gateway 1203. Subsequently, user-side 5G gateway 1203 sends voice communication data to user-side base station 1204 via 5G LAN (i.e., the wireless local area network communication path in this application). Since voice communication data is transmitted between the base station and UPF via the N3 interface, user-side base station 1204 sends voice communication data to UPF 1205 via the N3 interface. Subsequently, when the UPF1205 and the 5G gateway 1207 on the operator's equipment room side (the service aggregation equipment may include the 5G gateway 1207 on the operator's equipment room side, the switch 1208 on the operator's equipment room side, the PON device 1209 on the operator's equipment room side, the optical splitter 1210 on the operator's equipment room side, and the OLT1211 on the operator's equipment room side) are connected via the base station 1206 on the operator's equipment room side, and the UPF on the operator's equipment room side and the UPF on the user side are the same UPF1205, the UPF1205 sends voice communication data to the base station 1206 on the operator's equipment room side through the N3 interface. Then, the base station 1206 on the operator's equipment room side sends voice communication data to the 5G gateway 1207 on the operator's equipment room side. Following this, the 5G gateway 1207 on the operator's equipment room side sends voice communication data to the OLT1211 through the switch 1208, the PON device 1209, and the optical splitter 12010 on the operator's equipment room side.

[0137] S1003. When the core network device and the service aggregation device are connected via a non-direct communication path, and the core network device corresponding to the communication gateway and the core network device corresponding to the service aggregation device are different core network devices, the core network device sends voice communication data to the core network device corresponding to the service aggregation device through the third communication interface.

[0138] Specifically, when the core network device and the service aggregation device communicate through a non-direct communication path, and the core network device corresponding to the communication gateway and the core network device corresponding to the service aggregation device are different core network devices, after receiving the voice communication data, the core network device sends the voice communication data to the core network device corresponding to the service aggregation device through the third communication interface of the core network device.

[0139] Optionally, the third communication interface can be the UPF's N19 interface.

[0140] The N19 interface is the interface between UPFs.

[0141] Optionally, since core network equipment can belong to multiple VN groups, when wired communication equipment within a VN group is implementing private network voice communication, the core network equipment can receive voice communication data sent by the serving aggregation equipment. Then, by setting the destination interface in the forwarding behavior rule (FAR) to "5G VNInternal", the core network equipment can forward the voice communication data to the 5G internal interface (5G VN).

[0142] The core network equipment processes the voice communication data within the 5G VN Internal network by setting the source interface of the Packet Inspection Rule (PDR) to "5GVNInternal". It then determines the corresponding Frame Authentication Access (FAR) based on the FAR. Afterward, the core network equipment determines the corresponding communication gateway based on the FAR and forwards the voice communication data to the gateway (via the N3, N6, or N19 interface), enabling wired communication equipment to conduct private network voice communication within the group.

[0143] Optionally, when the monitoring client detects that voice communication data has not been completely transmitted in the UPF, the monitoring client sends a retransmission command to the UPF through the operator's network management center. The UPF can respond to the retransmission command and retransmit the voice communication data. When the number of times the UPF retransmits a voice communication data exceeds a preset number, the UPF switches to another route to transmit the voice communication data. At this time, the monitoring client can output an alarm message indicating that the UPF has failed, so that the operator's maintenance personnel can handle the UPF failure.

[0144] Combining the examples above, such as Figure 13As shown, telephone 1301 sends voice communication data to user-side PON device 1302. Next, user-side PON device 1302 sends voice communication data to user-side 5G gateway 1303. Subsequently, user-side 5G gateway 1303 sends voice communication data to user-side base station 1304 via 5G LAN (i.e., the wireless LAN communication path in this application). Since voice communication data is transmitted between the base station and the UPF via the N3 interface, user-side base station 1304 sends voice communication data to user-side UPF 1305 via the N3 interface. Afterwards, when the UPF on the operator's equipment room side and the user-side UPF are different UPFs, user-side UPF 1305 sends voice communication data to operator's equipment room side UPF 1306 via the N19 interface. Subsequently, operator's equipment room side UPF 1306 sends voice communication data to operator's equipment room side base station 1307 via the N3 interface. Subsequently, base station 1307 on the operator's equipment room side sends voice communication data to 5G gateway 1308 on the operator's equipment room side. Then, 5G gateway 1308 on the operator's equipment room side sends voice communication data to OLT 1312 through switch 1309, PON device 1310, and optical splitter 1311 on the operator's equipment room side.
