Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of wireless communication technology, and in particular to a method, apparatus, device, storage medium, and program product for ensuring quality of service. Background Technology

[0002] In existing mobile communication systems, the QoS (Quality of Service) assurance scheme involves the SMF (Session Management Function) sending PDR (packet detection rules), QoS profiles, and QoS rules to the UPF (user plane function), base station, and UE (User Equipment) to complete end-to-end QoS configuration. Taking the downlink direction as an example, the UPF maps downlink IP (Internet Protocol) flows to QoS flows based on the PDR; the base station's SDAP (Service Data Adaptation Protocol) layer maps QoS flows to radio bearers based on the QoS profiles; and the UE maps radio bearers to IP flows based on the QoS rules.

[0003] Currently, the intrinsic support / convergence of computing, data, sensing, and AI (Artificial Intelligence) capabilities within wireless networks is a key focus of future research. In this context, the wireless network, as a form of computing power close to the user, provides computing and other services. The wireless network needs to act as both the starting and ending point for data transmission related to computing services, completing QoS control and assurance for this data.

[0062] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0063] It is understood that the various numerical designations used in the embodiments of this invention are merely for descriptive convenience and are not intended to limit the scope of this application. The order of the process numbers does not imply the order of execution; the execution order of each process should be determined by its function and internal logic.

[0064] In embodiments of the invention, relational terms such as "first" and "second" are used merely to distinguish one entity or operation from another, without necessarily requiring or implying any such actual relationship or order between these entities or operations. The terms "comprising," "including," or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such a process, method, article, or apparatus. Without further limitation, an element defined by the phrase "comprising..." does not exclude the presence of other identical elements in the process, method, article, or apparatus that includes said element. The terms "multiple or several" refer to two or more, and the same applies to "multiple / items or several kinds / items." "And / or" describes the relationship between related objects, indicating that three relationships can exist. For example, A and / or B can represent: A alone, A and B simultaneously, or B alone. The character " / " generally indicates that the preceding and following related objects are in an "or" relationship.

[0065] Currently, existing end-to-end QoS control and assurance solutions rely on two wireless network frameworks: "centralized control base station-distributed data base station architecture" and "master base station-slave base station architecture".

[0066] like Figure 1 The illustrated "Centralized Control Base Station - Distributed Data Base Station Architecture" divides wireless base stations into two types: centralized control base stations and distributed data base stations. The centralized control base station provides all connection control functions, as well as connectionless control functions such as computation control and data control, and connectionless execution functions such as computation execution and data execution. The distributed data base station provides user plane connection functions, as well as connectionless execution functions such as computation execution and data execution. Computation control includes computing node selection, multi-base station computing resource orchestration, and multi-task (sensing, AI, etc.) computing resource orchestration. Data control includes multi-base station data acquisition control, data transmission control, data processing control, and data storage management. Data execution functions include data storage, data transmission, data acquisition, and data processing. Computation execution functions include high-performance computing, mobile computing, personalized computing, AI model training, AI model inference, sensor data association, and deduplication.

[0067] like Figure 2The "master base station-slave base station architecture" shown, taking a future 6G communication system as an example, adds centralized (e.g., mobility management, paging management, QoS management on the core network side) and distributed (e.g., radio bearer management, paging, mobility management on the base station side) connection control functions and distributed (e.g., radio bearer management, paging, mobility management on the base station side) functions to provide converged services (sensing, computing, AI, etc.) services, data transmission functions for converged services, and non-connection control functions such as computing control and data control, as well as non-connection execution functions such as computing execution and data execution, to the original communication connection control plane and user plane functions. The 6G slave base station adds distributed connection control functions to provide converged services, data transmission functions, and non-connection execution functions such as data execution and computing execution, to the original communication connection control plane and user plane functions.

[0068] In the two wireless network architectures described above, existing QoS guarantee schemes can only map QoS flows to wireless bearers based on the QoS profile issued by the core network, and cannot guarantee and map QoS in wireless network data closed-loop scenarios. Therefore, this invention proposes a QoS guarantee method that can achieve end-to-end QoS guarantee for local computing services, solving the problem of missing QoS guarantee schemes in wireless side data closed-loop scenarios, and is applicable to all transmission scenarios in wireless network data closed-loop scenarios.

[0069] It should be noted that, in the embodiments of the present invention, the term "base station" refers to a node or device that connects the user equipment to the wireless network, and can also be called a network device or RAN (Radio Access Network) device. For example, it can be a base station (2G / 3G base station), gNB (Generation NodeB, the next-generation node B in 5G, a 5G base station), Evolved Node B (eNB), Radio Network Controller (RNC), Node B (NB), Base Station Controller (BSC), Base Transceiver Station (BTS), Home Base Station (e.g., Home Evolved NodeB, or HomeNode B, HNB), Base Band Unit (BBU), Transmitting and Receiving Point (TRP), Transmitting Point (TP), and / or Mobile Switching Center, etc., without specific limitations in the embodiments of the present invention.

[0070] See Figure 3 , Figure 3 This is a flowchart of a quality of service (QoS) assurance method provided in an embodiment of the present invention. The QoS assurance method is applied to a first base station and includes:

[0071] S11: Determine QoS control parameters; wherein, the QoS control parameters include: QoS configuration parameters, QoS rule parameters, and data packet detection rule parameters;

[0072] S12: Send the QoS configuration parameters and the data packet detection rule parameters to the second base station; wherein, the second base station completes the mapping of the computing service-related data stream to the QoS stream according to the data packet detection rule parameters, and the second base station completes the mapping of the QoS stream to the radio bearer according to the QoS configuration parameters;

[0073] S13: Send the QoS rule parameters to the terminal device; wherein, the terminal device completes the mapping of the data stream related to the computing service to the QoS stream according to the QoS rule parameters.

[0074] It should be noted that, in this embodiment of the invention, the first base station refers to a centralized control base station or a master base station, and the second base station refers to a distributed data base station architecture or a slave base station. For example, in Figure 1 In the wireless network framework shown, the first base station is a centralized control base station, and the second base station is a distributed data base station. Figure 2 In the wireless network framework shown, the first base station is the master base station, and the second base station is the slave base station.

[0075] In some embodiments, the first base station may send the QoS rule parameters to the second base station, and then the second base station may send the QoS rule parameters to the terminal device; wherein the terminal device completes the mapping of the data stream related to the computing service to the QoS stream according to the QoS rule parameters.

[0076] Specifically, the QoS control parameters can be obtained / determined in the following ways:

[0077] (1) The first base station generates its own QoS configuration parameters (which can also be described as QoS profile parameters), or receives QoS configuration parameters sent by the wireless network management or core network side.

[0078] The QoS configuration parameters include, but are not limited to: 5G QoS Identifier (5QI), Address Resolution Protocol (ARP), Reflective QoS Attribute (RQA), Guaranteed Flow Bit Rate (GFBR), Maximum Flow Bit Rate (MFBR), Notification Control Indicator, and Maximum Packet Loss Rate.

[0079] The QoS configuration parameters are used to assist the SDAP layer of the second base station in completing the mapping of QoS flows to the Data RadioBearer (DRB).

[0080] (2) The first base station generates QoS rule parameters (which can also be described as QoS rule parameters) itself, or receives QoS rule parameters sent by the wireless network management system or the core network side.

[0081] The QoS rule parameters include, but are not limited to: associated QoS flow identifier (QFI), data packet filter set, QoS rule precedence, etc.

[0082] The QoS rule parameters are used to assist terminal devices in mapping computing service-related data streams to QoS streams.

[0083] (3) The first base station generates its own data packet detection rule parameters (which can also be described as PDR parameters or PDR data packet detection rule parameters), or receives data packet detection rule parameters sent by the wireless network management system or the core network side.

[0084] The data packet detection rule parameters include, but are not limited to: uplink or downlink data packet filtering sets of the Service DataFlow template (SDF template), packet detection rule precedence (PDR precedence), QoS enforcement rule (QER), forwarding behavior rules, reflection QoS indication, etc.

[0085] The data packet detection rule parameters are used to assist the second base station in mapping the data stream to the QoS stream.

[0086] The QoS control parameters are determined based on the QoS configuration parameters, the QoS rule parameters, and the data packet detection rule parameters.

[0087] Based on the aforementioned QoS configuration parameters, QoS rule parameters, and data packet detection rule parameters, the first base station can determine the QoS control parameters and then send the QoS configuration parameters and data packet detection rule parameters to the second base station. This enables the second base station to map the computing service-related data streams to QoS streams based on the QoS configuration parameters, and the SDAP layer of the second base station to map the QoS streams to the radio bearers based on the data packet detection rule parameters. The QoS rule parameters are then sent to the terminal device, enabling the terminal device to map the computing service-related data streams to QoS streams based on the QoS rule parameters. This achieves QoS assurance in a closed-loop wireless network data scenario.

[0088] In some embodiments, after determining the QoS control parameters, the method further includes:

[0089] The first base station completes the mapping of data streams related to computing services to QoS streams based on the data packet detection rule parameters;

[0090] The first base station completes the mapping of QoS flow to radio bearer according to the QoS configuration parameters.

[0091] As an optional embodiment, before generating one or more of the aforementioned QoS configuration parameters, QoS rule parameters, and data packet detection rule parameters, the first base station may also receive flow description information of computing service-related data sent by the Policy Control Function (PCF) network element on the core network side. For example, this flow description information may include, but is not limited to: data flow IP address information, data identifier information, and / or URL information.

[0092] Specifically, the PCF transmits the flow description information to the first base station through the Access and Mobility Management Function (AMF) network element.

[0093] Specifically, sending the QoS configuration parameters and the data packet detection rule parameters to the second base station includes:

[0094] The QoS configuration parameters and the data packet detection rule parameters are sent to the second base station through the interface between the first base station and the second base station.

[0095] Furthermore, the step of sending the QoS configuration parameters and the data packet detection rule parameters to the second base station through the interface between the first base station and the second base station includes:

[0096] The QoS configuration parameters and the data packet detection rule parameters are sent to the second base station through a predefined interface message on the interface between the first base station and the second base station.

[0097] Specifically, sending the QoS rule parameters to the terminal device includes:

[0098] The QoS rule parameters are sent to the terminal device via an air interface radio resource control message.

[0099] In this embodiment of the invention, the first base station can send relevant parameters to the second base station or terminal device via the Xn interface (i.e., the interface between the first and second base stations) or the air interface, such as... Figure 4 As shown, the specific interaction flow is as follows:

[0100] The first base station sends QoS rule parameters to the terminal device via an air interface Radio Resource Control (RRC) message (hereinafter referred to as RRC message). This RRC message can be transmitted transparently through the second base station or directly. The QoS rule parameters can be sent to the terminal device via RRC connection establishment, RRC connection restoration, or RRC connection reconfiguration messages, but no specific limitations are imposed in this embodiment of the invention.

[0101] The terminal device's computing layer maps the computing service-related data streams to QoS streams based on QoS rule parameters, and simultaneously sends RadioBearerConfig IE (a type of radio bearer configuration message) to the terminal device. The terminal device's SDAP layer then uses this to map the QoS streams to the radio bearers.

[0102] The first base station sends QoS configuration parameters and data packet detection rule parameters to the second base station through a newly defined interface message on the interface (i.e., Xn interface) between the first and second base stations. This interface message can be a PDU session resource modify request, a PDU session resourcesetup request, a QoS flow control message, an Xn / F1 / E1 session Establishment request, or an Xn / F1 / E1 session Modification request, etc., and is sent to the second base station via the QosFlowLevelQosParameters IE (a message included in the above interface messages that can establish, modify, or release radio bearer configurations). The second base station's computation layer completes the mapping of relevant data streams to QoS streams based on the data packet detection rule parameters, and the SDAP layer completes the mapping of QoS streams to radio bearers based on the QoS configuration parameters.

[0103] Furthermore, before completing steps S11 to S13 above, the method further includes:

[0104] The wireless network management system receives at least one of the following parameters sent through the southbound interface: the QoS configuration parameters, the QoS rule parameters, and the data packet detection rule parameters.

[0105] And / or, receive at least one of the following parameters sent by the core network: the QoS configuration parameter, the QoS rule parameter, and the data packet detection rule parameter.

[0106] Compared to existing technologies, in this embodiment of the invention, the first base station can generate QoS control parameters, including QoS configuration parameters, QoS rule parameters, and data packet detection rule parameters, either by itself or by obtaining them through the wireless network management system. The first base station then sends the QoS configuration parameters and data packet detection rule parameters to the second base station via the interface between the first and second base stations. This allows the second base station to map computing service-related data streams to QoS streams based on the data packet detection rule parameters, and to map QoS streams to wireless bearers based on the QoS configuration parameters. The second base station then sends the QoS rule parameter air interface RRC message to the terminal device, enabling the terminal device to map computing service-related data streams to QoS streams based on the QoS rule parameters. This allows the wireless network to achieve QoS assurance in wireless network data closed-loop scenarios without relying on a QoS profile issued by the core network to map QoS streams to wireless bearers. This solves the problem of missing QoS assurance schemes in wireless side data closed-loop scenarios and is applicable to all transmission scenarios in wireless network data closed-loop scenarios.

[0107] See Figure 5 , Figure 5 This is another flowchart of a quality of service assurance method provided by an embodiment of the present invention. The quality of service assurance method is applied to a base station and includes:

[0119] In one optional embodiment, the QoS rule parameters include: associated QoS flow identifier, data packet filter set, and QoS rule priority value.

[0120] In one optional embodiment, the data packet detection rule parameters include: uplink or downlink data packet filtering set of the service data flow template, packet detection rule priority value, QoS enforcement rule, forwarding behavior rule, and reflection QoS indication.

[0121] In an optional embodiment, before determining the QoS control parameters, the method further includes:

[0122] The wireless network management system receives at least one of the following parameters sent through the southbound interface: the QoS configuration parameters, the QoS rule parameters, and the data packet detection rule parameters.

[0123] In an optional embodiment, the method further includes:

[0124] Receive at least one of the following parameters sent by the core network: the QoS configuration parameter, the QoS rule parameter, and the data packet detection rule parameter.

[0126] Receive flow description information sent by the policy control function network element on the core network side.

[0127] It should be noted that the base station here is a base station with the same role in terms of QoS, that is, the base station has the role and function of the first base station and the second base station in the above embodiments. The subsequent steps are also the same as the working process applied to the first base station in the above embodiments, and the technical effect achieved is also the same as the above embodiments, so it will not be repeated here.
