互通无线局域网(Interworking WLAN, 简称 "I- WLAN" )是 WLAN 和其它无线移动通信网互联而产生的网络。 在第三代合作伙伴项目 (3rd Generation Partnership Project, 简称 "3GPP" )标准化组织中, 用户设备 可以通过 WLAN接入网络与因特网、 企业内部互联网 (Intranet )相连, 还可以经由 WLAN接入网络与 3GPP系统的归属网络或 3GPP系统的访 问网络连接,具体地说就是, WLAN用户设备在本地接入时,经由 WLAN 接入网络与 3GPP的归属网络相连; 在漫游时, 经由 WLAN接入网络与 3GPP的访问网络相连, 3GPP访问网络中的部分实体分别与 3GPP归属 网络中的相应实体互连, 例如: 3GPP访问网络中的 3GPP认证授权和计 费 ( Authentication Authorization and Accounting , 简称 "AAA" )代理和 3GPP归属网络中的 3GPP AAA服务器; 3GPP网络中的无线局域网接入 网关 (WLAN Access Gateway, 简称 "WAG" ) 与 3GPP网络中的分组数 据网关 (Packet Data Gateway, 简称 "PDG" )等等。 Interworking WLAN ("I-WLAN") is WLAN A network created by interconnection with other wireless mobile communication networks. In the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) standardization organization, user equipment can be connected to the Internet, intranet (Intranet) through the WLAN access network, and can also access the network via WLAN and 3GPP. The access network connection of the system's home network or the 3GPP system, specifically, the WLAN user equipment is connected to the 3GPP home network via the WLAN access network when accessing the local; when roaming, via the WLAN access network and the 3GPP Accessing the network connection, some entities in the 3GPP access network are respectively interconnected with corresponding entities in the 3GPP home network, for example: 3GPP Authentication Authorization and Accounting ("AAA") proxy and 3GPP in the 3GPP access network. A 3GPP AAA server in the home network; a WLAN Access Gateway (WAG) in the 3GPP network; a Packet Data Gateway ("PDG") in the 3GPP network, and the like.

下面结合图 1、图 2和图 3介绍非漫游和漫游两种状态下 I-WLAN的 基本模型。  The basic model of I-WLAN in non-roaming and roaming states will be described below with reference to FIG. 1, FIG. 2 and FIG.

图 1示出了非漫游状态下的基本模型。 WLAN UE( User Equipment用 户终端) 110接入到 WLANAN 120, WLANAN 120还和 Internet/Intranet 130、 3GPP归属网络 140相连, UE 110可以通过 WLAN AN 120访问 Internet/Intranet 130或接入 3GPP归属网络 140。具体地说, WLANAN 120 通过 Wa接口和 3GPP AAA服务器 141连接、 通过 Wn接口和 WAG 142 连接。 在 3GPP归属网络 140中, 3GPP AAA服务器 141又分别和签约定 位功能(Subscription Locator Function, 简称 "SLF" ) 143、 归属签约用户 服务器(Home Subscriber Server,简称 "HSS" )144、归属位置寄存器(Home Location Register, 简称 "HLR" ) 145、 离线计费系统(Offline Charging System ) 146、在线计费系统( Online Charging System, 筒称 "OCS" ) 147、 PDG 148、 WAG 142相连接。 PDG 148还一方面和 WAG 142连接, 一方 面和外部网络连接。在 UE 110和 PDG 148之间可以建立隧道,有了这个 隧道, WLANAN 120和 WAG 142对 UE 110和 PDG 148是透明的。  Figure 1 shows the basic model in a non-roaming state. The WLAN UE (User Equipment User Terminal) 110 is connected to the WLAN AN 120. The WLAN AN 120 is also connected to the Internet/Intranet 130 and the 3GPP home network 140. The UE 110 can access the Internet/Intranet 130 or access the 3GPP home network 140 through the WLAN AN 120. Specifically, the WLAN AN 120 is connected to the 3GPP AAA server 141 via the Wa interface, and connected to the WAG 142 through the Wn interface. In the 3GPP home network 140, the 3GPP AAA server 141 and the subscription locator function (SLF) 143, the Home Subscriber Server (HSS) 144, and the home location register (Home) Location Register, referred to as "HLR" 145, Offline Charging System (146), Online Charging System (OCS) 147, PDG 148, WAG 142 are connected. The PDG 148 is also connected to the WAG 142 on the one hand and to the external network on one side. A tunnel can be established between UE 110 and PDG 148, with which WLAN AN 120 and WAG 142 are transparent to UE 110 and PDG 148.

图 2 示出了一种漫游状态下的基本模型, 该模型和非漫游状态的基 本模型相比, 区别在于 WLANAN 120并不是直接和 3GPP归属网絡 140 相连的, 而是通过了 3GPP访问网络 150的中转。 具体地说, WLANAN 120分别通过 Wa接口和 Wn接口和 3GPP访问网络 150中的 3GPP AAA 代理 151、 WAG 152连接。 该 WAG 152和 3GPP归属网络 140中的 PDG 148连接, 3GPPAAA代理 151和 3GPP归属网络 140中的 3GPPAAA服 务器 141连接。 同样地, 在 UE 110和 PDG 148之间可以建立隧道, 有了 图 3示出了另一种漫游状态下的基本模型, 在该模型中, 3GPP归属 网络 140中的 3GPP AAA服务器 141与 3GPP访问网络 150中的 3GPP AAA代理 151连接, 3GPP AAA代理 151又分别和 WLAN AN 120以及 3GPP访问网络 150中的 WAG 152、 PDG 153连接。 同样地, 在 UE 110 和 PDG 153之间也可以建立隧道,有了这个隧道, "WLANAN 120和 WAG 152对 UE 110和 PDG 153是透明的。 Figure 2 shows a basic model in a roaming state, the model being compared to the basic model of the non-roaming state, the difference being that the WLAN AN 120 is not directly connected to the 3GPP home network 140. Connected, but through the 3GPP access network 150 transit. Specifically, the WLAN AN 120 is connected to the 3GPP AAA proxy 151, WAG 152 in the 3GPP access network 150 through the Wa interface and the Wn interface, respectively. The WAG 152 is connected to the PDG 148 in the 3GPP home network 140, and the 3GPP AAA proxy 151 is connected to the 3GPP AAA server 141 in the 3GPP home network 140. Similarly, a tunnel can be established between the UE 110 and the PDG 148, with Figure 3 showing a basic model in another roaming state in which the 3GPP AAA server 141 and 3GPP access in the 3GPP home network 140 are accessed. The 3GPP AAA proxy 151 in the network 150 is connected, and the 3GPP AAA proxy 151 is in turn connected to the WLAN AN 120 and the WAG 152, PDG 153 in the 3GPP access network 150, respectively. Likewise, a tunnel can also be established between the UE 110 and the PDG 153, with which the "WLAN AN 120 and WAG 152 are transparent to the UE 110 and the PDG 153.

在上述的模型中, 为了向用户提供高质量的基于分组交换的电信服 务, 就必须要能够保障端到端的服务质量 (Quality of Service, 简称 "QoS" ), 即在 WLAN UE和 PDG也要提供 QoS保障。这种 QoS保障分 为两个层面,一个层面是高层的实体间的 QoS协商,使 "WLAN UE和 PDG 之间的各个实体对向用户提供的 QoS参数达成一致, 另一个层面就是在 传输时如何实现相应的 QoS参数。 目前,在 WLAN UE和 PDG之间并没 有一种明确的机制来提供 QoS协商和保障, 这样对于很多要求 QoS保障 的业务, 例如 IMS ( IP Multimedia Subsystem, IP多媒体子系统)业务, 就不能 4艮好的支持。 对于前一个层面, 即 QoS协商层面, 又包括两个方 面: 业务建立时的 QoS协商和业务进行时 QoS修改的处理。 本发明的技 术方案主要针对后者, 即业务进行时 QoS修改的处理。  In the above model, in order to provide users with high-quality packet-switched telecommunication services, it is necessary to ensure end-to-end Quality of Service (QoS), that is, also provided in WLAN UEs and PDGs. QoS guarantee. This kind of QoS guarantee is divided into two levels. One level is the QoS negotiation between the high-level entities, so that "the entities between the WLAN UE and the PDG agree on the QoS parameters provided to the users, and the other level is how to transmit. Realizing the corresponding QoS parameters. Currently, there is no clear mechanism between WLAN UE and PDG to provide QoS negotiation and guarantee, so for many services that require QoS guarantee, such as IMS (IP Multimedia Subsystem, IP Multimedia Subsystem) For the former layer, that is, the QoS negotiation layer, there are two aspects: QoS negotiation at the time of service establishment and QoS modification at the time of service. The technical solution of the present invention is mainly directed to the latter. , that is, the processing of QoS modification when the service is in progress.

通过比较可以发现, 本发明的主要特点在于, 提出了一个修改业务 QoS 参数的完整流程: 由用户终端或网络侧功能实体发起修改流程, 根 据要求的服务质量和用户的签约信息确定授权给用户的 QoS参数, 再由 将其通知用户终端和相关的实体。  By comparison, it can be found that the main feature of the present invention is that a complete process of modifying the service QoS parameters is proposed: the modification process is initiated by the user terminal or the network side functional entity, and the authorization is determined according to the required service quality and the user's subscription information. The QoS parameters are then notified to the user terminal and related entities.

此外, 可以由 PDG、 AAA服务器和可选的策略决定功能 (Policy In addition, the function can be determined by the PDG, AAA server and optional policies (Policy)

Decision Function, 简称 "PDF" )、 应用功能(Application Function, 简称 "AF" )协商确定授权给用户的 QoS参数,再由 PDG将其通知用户终端、 AAA服务器、 WLAN、 WAG等隧道相关的实体。 PDG在通知前还可以 和 WLAN、 WAG协商 QoS参数。 PDG与 WLAN、 WAG之间的交互通 过 AAA服务器中转,如果用户终端处于漫游状态, AAA服务器与 WLAN、 WAG之间的交互还要通过 AAA代理的中转。 AAA服务器和 AAA代理 转发 QoS参数时, 可以不加修改地转发, 也可以 ■据网络状态、 网络侧 的设置修改后转发。 本发明还提出了各种网络侧功能实体触发 QoS修改 流程的具体条件。 这种技术方案上的区别, 带来了较为明显的有益效果, 即提出了一 套完整的 QoS参数 "改方案。 通过发起、 授权、 协商和发布四个主要步 骤, 解决了 I-WLAN中的 QoS修改问题, 使得用户终端和各网络侧功能 实体(包括 WLAN、 WAG, AAA服务器、 AAA代理、 PDG、 PDF, AF 等 )都可以主动发起 QoS参数修改流程, 通过 AAA服务器和 AAA代理 的协同应用, 使本发明对于非漫游和漫游两种状态下的 QoS参数修改都 可以适用, 进而完善了整个互通系统的 QoS协商机制。 Decision Function (abbreviated as "PDF"), Application Function ("AF") negotiates to determine the QoS parameters granted to the user, and then the PDG notifies the user terminal, AAA server, WLAN, WAG and other tunnel-related entities. The PDG can also negotiate QoS parameters with the WLAN and WAG before notification. The interaction between the PDG and the WLAN and the WAG is relayed through the AAA server. If the user terminal is in the roaming state, the interaction between the AAA server and the WLAN and the WAG is also transited by the AAA proxy. When the AAA server and the AAA proxy forward the QoS parameters, they can be forwarded without modification. They can also be modified according to the network status and network side settings. The invention also proposes specific conditions for triggering the QoS modification process by various network side functional entities. The difference in this technical solution brings about a more obvious beneficial effect, that is, a complete set of QoS parameters is proposed. The four main steps of initiation, authorization, negotiation and release are solved in the I-WLAN. The QoS modification problem enables the user terminal and each network side functional entity (including WLAN, WAG, AAA server, AAA proxy, PDG, PDF, AF, etc.) to initiate the QoS parameter modification process actively, and the coordinated application of the AAA server and the AAA proxy. The invention can be applied to modify QoS parameters in both non-roaming and roaming states, thereby improving the QoS negotiation mechanism of the entire interworking system.

先说明一下本发明基本原理。 图 4示出了本发明的几个基本步骤, 下面逐一说明。  The basic principle of the invention will be explained first. Figure 4 shows several basic steps of the invention, which are explained below.

在步骤 1中, 无线局域网用户终端和分组数据网关之间建立了隧道, 业务进行中。 因为本发明是针对业务进行中 QoS修改的, 所以这一步是 以下各步骤的前提。 关于建立隧道时 QoS的协商和确定并不是本发明的 内容, 其一种具体实现方法可以参见申请号为 200510024965.5的中国专 利文献。 In step 1, a tunnel is established between the WLAN user terminal and the packet data gateway, and the service is in progress. Because the present invention is directed to the ongoing QoS modification of the service, this step is The premise of the following steps. The negotiation and determination of QoS when establishing a tunnel is not the content of the present invention. For a specific implementation method, refer to the Chinese patent document of Application No. 200510024965.5.

此后进入步骤 2,无线局域网用户终端或网络侧功能实体发起服务质 量参数修改流程。  Thereafter, proceeding to step 2, the WLAN user terminal or the network side functional entity initiates a service quality parameter modification process.

如果服务质量参数最终决策实体是分组数据网关, 无线局域网用户 终端或网络侧功能实体发起服务质量参数修改流程, 在服务质量参数修 改请求中, 发起修改流程的实体需要根据自身的能力和负载情况等, 告 知分组数据网关其要求的服务盾量参数。 在该步珮中, 不同的发起设备 会有不同的发起方式:  If the QoS parameter final decision entity is a packet data gateway, the WLAN user terminal or the network side functional entity initiates a QoS parameter modification process, and in the QoS parameter modification request, the entity that initiates the modification process needs to be based on its own capabilities and load conditions. , inform the packet data gateway of the required service shield parameter. In this step, different initiating devices will have different originating methods:

如果是无线局域网用户终端发起服务质量参数修改流程, 则服务盾 量参数修改请求发送给分组数据网关;  If the WLAN user terminal initiates the service quality parameter modification process, the service shield parameter modification request is sent to the packet data gateway;

如果是无线局域网接入网络发起服务盾量参数修改流程, 则服务质 量参数修改请求通过认证授权和计费服务器发送给分组数据网关;  If the WLAN access network initiates the service shield parameter modification process, the service quality parameter modification request is sent to the packet data gateway by the authentication authorization and accounting server;

如果是无线局域网接入网关发起服务质量参数修改流程, 则服务质 量参数修改请求通过认证授权和计费服务器发送给分组数据网关;  If the WLAN access gateway initiates the QoS parameter modification process, the service quality parameter modification request is sent to the packet data gateway by the authentication authorization and accounting server;

如果是认证授权和计费服务器发起服务质量参数修改流程, 则服务 盾量参数修改请求直接发送给分组数据网关;  If the authentication authorization and accounting server initiates the service quality parameter modification process, the service shield quantity parameter modification request is directly sent to the packet data gateway;

如果是策略决定功能(Policy Decision Function, 筒称 "PDF" )或应 用功能(Application Function, 简称 "AF" )发起服务盾量参数修改流程, 则不需要将服务质量参数修改请求发送给分组数据网关, 而是直接执行 下面的步骤 3, 即直接将授权的服务盾量参数发送给分组数据网关, 或者 通知分组数据网关, QoS 参数需要更新, 分组数据网关收到该通知后, 从策略决定功能或应用功能获取新的授权的服务质量参数。  If the Policy Decision Function ("PDF") or the Application Function ("AF") initiates the service shield parameter modification process, the service quality parameter modification request does not need to be sent to the packet data gateway. Instead, directly perform the following step 3, that is, directly send the authorized service shield parameter to the packet data gateway, or notify the packet data gateway, the QoS parameter needs to be updated, and after the packet data gateway receives the notification, the policy determines the function or The application function obtains new authorized quality of service parameters.

如果服务盾量参数最终决策实体是认证授权和计费服务器, 无线局 域网用户终端或网络侧功能实体发起服务质量参数 ~改流程, 在服务质 量参数修改请求中, 发起修改流程的实体需要根据自身的能力和负载情 况等, 告知认证授权和计费服务器其要求的服务质量参数。 在该步骤中, 不同的发起设备会有不同的发起方式: 如果是无线局域网接入网络、 无线局域网接入网关或分组数据网关 发起服务质量参数修改流程, 则服务质量参数修改请求直接发送给认证 授权和计费服务器; If the final decision entity of the service shield parameter is the authentication authorization and accounting server, the WLAN user terminal or the network side functional entity initiates the QoS parameter change process, and in the QoS parameter modification request, the entity that initiates the modification process needs to be based on its own The capability and load conditions, etc., inform the authentication authority and the billing server of the required quality of service parameters. In this step, different initiating devices will have different originating methods: If the WLAN access network, the WLAN access gateway, or the packet data gateway initiates the QoS parameter modification process, the QoS parameter modification request is directly sent to the authentication authorization and accounting server;

如果是无线局域网用户终端、 策略决策功能或应用功能发起服务盾 量参数修改流程, 则需要将服务质量参数修改请求发送给分组数据网关, 再由分组数据网关发送给认证授权和计费服务器。 分组数据网关发送给 认证授权和计费服务器之前可以做适应性修改。  If the WLAN user terminal, the policy decision function, or the application function initiates the service metric parameter modification process, the QoS parameter modification request needs to be sent to the packet data gateway, and then sent by the packet data gateway to the authentication authorization and accounting server. The packet data gateway can make adaptive modifications before sending it to the authentication and accounting server.

根据网络侧的配置, 或来自运营维护系统的指令, 修改提供给用户 的服务质量。  Modify the quality of service provided to the user based on the configuration on the network side, or from the instructions of the operation and maintenance system.

此后进入步骤 3 , 分组数据网关和认证授权和计费服务器, 可能还有 策略决定功能和应用功能, 通过协商确定授权给用户终端的服务质量参 数(修改后的服务质量参数)。  Thereafter, proceed to step 3, the packet data gateway and the authentication authorization and accounting server, and possibly the policy decision function and the application function, and determine the quality of service parameters (modified service quality parameters) authorized to the user terminal through negotiation.

如果是分组数据网关最终决定授权给用户终端的服务质量参数, 在 确定授权给用户终端的服务质量参数(修改后的服务质量参数) 时, 分 组数据网关自身的能力和负载情况也需要考虑在内。 分组数据网关和认 证授权和计费服务器之间的授权负责的是无线局域网用户终端和分组数 据网关之间承载的服务质量的授权和限制, 例如带宽、 时延等; 分组数 据网关、 策略决定功能和应用功能间的交互是业务 /会话层面的协商交互 和授权, 例如服务质量类别、 带宽等, 同时策略决定功能需要将业务 /会 话层面的服务质量信息映射到承载层的服务质量参数并传递给分组数据 网关。 If the packet data gateway finally determines the quality of service parameters authorized to the user terminal, the capacity and load of the packet data gateway itself need to be taken into consideration when determining the quality of service parameters (modified quality of service parameters) granted to the user terminal. . Packet data gateway and recognition The authorization between the license authorization and the accounting server is responsible for the authorization and limitation of the quality of service carried between the WLAN user terminal and the packet data gateway, such as bandwidth, delay, etc.; packet data gateway, policy decision function and application function The interaction is the negotiation interaction and authorization at the service/session level, such as the quality of service category, bandwidth, etc., and the policy decision function needs to map the service quality information of the service/session level to the quality of service parameters of the bearer layer and pass it to the packet data gateway.

如果任何一个网络实体发来的服务质量修改要求中携带的服务盾量 要求, 和认证授权和计费服务器中存贮的无线局域网用户的服务质量信 息不兼容(例如不符合该用户签约的服务质量), 或是和当前的隧道的属 性存在冲突, 分组数据网关会返回拒绝服务质量修改消息 (该消息内可 能会包括拒绝的原因)。  If the service shield requirement carried in the quality of service modification request sent by any one of the network entities is not compatible with the quality of service information of the wireless local area network user stored in the authentication authority and the accounting server (for example, the quality of service not subscribed to the user is not met) ), or conflict with the properties of the current tunnel, the packet data gateway will return a denial of service modification message (the reason for the rejection may be included in the message).

如果是认证授权和计费服务器最终决定授权给用户终端的服务质量 参数, 则认证授权和计费服务器会比较其存储的无线局域网用户的服务 质量信息和任何一个网络实体发来的服务盾量修改要求中携带的服务质 量要求, 若存在不兼容的情况(例如不符合该用户签约的服务盾量), 认 证授权和计费服务器会返回拒绝服务质量修改消息 (该消息内可能会包 括拒绝的原因)。 如果是向无线局域网接入网络、 无线局域网接入网关和 分组数据网关返回拒绝服务盾量修改消息, 则消息是直接由认证授权和 计费服务器返回给相应的实体; 如果是向无线局域网用户终端、 策略决 策功能或应用功能返回拒绝服务质量修改消息, 则消息是由认证授权和 计费服务器返回给分组数据网关, 再由分组数据网关返回给相应的实体。  If the authentication authorization and accounting server finally determines the quality of service parameters authorized to the user terminal, the authentication authorization and accounting server compares the stored quality of service information of the wireless local area network user with the service shield modification sent by any one of the network entities. The quality of service requirements carried in the request, if there is an incompatibility (for example, the service shield that does not meet the subscription of the user), the authentication and authorization server and the accounting server will return a denial of service modification message (this message may include the reason for the rejection) ). If the refusal service shield modification message is returned to the WLAN access network, the WLAN access gateway, and the packet data gateway, the message is directly returned to the corresponding entity by the authentication authorization and accounting server; if it is to the WLAN user terminal The policy decision function or the application function returns a denial of service quality modification message, and the message is returned to the packet data gateway by the authentication authorization and accounting server, and then returned to the corresponding entity by the packet data gateway.

发起服务质量修改请求的实体如果收到拒绝消息, 后续的操作包括 但不限于以下方法:  If the entity that initiates the quality of service modification request receives the rejection message, subsequent operations include but are not limited to the following methods:

不修改服务质量, 维持现在的服务质量;  Do not modify the quality of service and maintain the current quality of service;

断开业务 /隧道连接;  Disconnect the business/tunnel connection;

根据网络侧的配置执行相应的操作, 等等。  Perform the corresponding operations according to the configuration on the network side, and so on.

此后进入步驟 4, 该步骤是可选的。 如果是分组数据网关最终决定授 权给用户终端的服务质量参数, 那么分組数据网关以认证授权和计费服 务器为中介, 以步骤 3 中确定的授权的服务质量参数为基础, 分组数据 网关与无线局域网接入网络、 无线局域网接入网关和无线局域网用户终 端进行服务质量参数协商, 获得一个各个网络实体都能提供的服务质量 参数。 如果是认证授权和计费服务器最终决定授权给用户终端的服务质 量参数, 那么认证授权和计费服务器以步骤 3 中确定的授权的服务质量 参数为基础, 与分組数据网关、 无线局域网接入网络、 无线局域网接入 网关和无线局域网用户终端进行服务盾量参数协商, 获得一个各个网络 实体都能提供的服务质量参数。 Thereafter, proceed to step 4, which is optional. If the packet data gateway finally determines the quality of service parameter authorized to the user terminal, the packet data gateway is mediated by the authentication and authorization and accounting server, and the packet data is based on the authorized quality of service parameter determined in step 3. The gateway negotiates with the WLAN access network, the WLAN access gateway, and the WLAN user terminal for quality of service parameters to obtain a quality of service parameter that each network entity can provide. If the authentication authorization and accounting server finally determines the quality of service parameters authorized to the user terminal, then the authentication authorization and accounting server is based on the authorized quality of service parameters determined in step 3, with the packet data gateway, the wireless local area network access network. The WLAN access gateway and the WLAN user terminal perform service shield parameter negotiation to obtain a quality of service parameter that each network entity can provide.

接着, 进入步骤 5。 如果是分组数据网关最终决定授权给用户终端的 服务质量参数, 那么分组数据网关将授权的服务质量参数通知给无线局 域网接入网络、 无线局域网接入网关和 /或无线局域网用户终端。 如果在 该步驟之前执行了步骤 4,则分组数据网关将协商出的服务盾量参数通知 给无线局域网接入网络和 /或无线局域网接入网关。 如果某个网络实体不 能接受授权的服务^:量参数, 或不能提供授权的服务质量参数, 则根据 网络侧的配置, 提供降低的服务质量参数, 或发起断开连接流程, 或保 持现有的服务质量。 分组数据网关通过认证授权和计费服务器发送服务 质量参数通知时 , 认证授权和计费服务器对服务盾量参数的转发有两种 方式:  Then, proceed to step 5. If the packet data gateway ultimately determines the quality of service parameters granted to the user terminal, the packet data gateway notifies the wireless local area network access network, the wireless local area network access gateway, and/or the wireless local area network user terminal the authorized quality of service parameters. If step 4 is performed before this step, the packet data gateway notifies the negotiated service shield parameter to the WLAN access network and/or the WLAN access gateway. If a network entity cannot accept the authorized service parameter, or cannot provide the authorized quality of service parameter, provide the reduced quality of service parameter according to the network side configuration, or initiate the disconnection process, or maintain the existing service quality. When the packet data gateway sends the quality of service parameter notification through the authentication and authorization and accounting server, the authentication authorization and accounting server can forward the service shield parameter in two ways:

一种是不做任何修改直接发送给无线局域网接入网络和 /或无线局域 网接入网关;  One is to send directly to the WLAN access network and/or the wireless LAN access gateway without any modification;

另一种是 居网络的状态、 网絡侧的配置等条件, 对服务质量参数 作适应性修改后再发送给无线局域网和无线局域网接入网关。 网络的状 态的包括但不限于: 当前用户数、 当前负载、 已用存储器容量、 已用处 理器容量、 已用端口数、 可用存储器容量、 可用处理器容量、 可用端口 数等。  The other is the status of the network, the configuration on the network side, etc., and the service quality parameters are adaptively modified and then sent to the WLAN and the WLAN access gateway. The status of the network includes, but is not limited to, the current number of users, the current load, the used memory capacity, the used processor capacity, the number of used ports, the available memory capacity, the available processor capacity, the number of available ports, and so on.

认证授权和计费服务器需要存储这些服务质量参数, 用于特定目的 , 例如计费的依据、 用于网管目的的服务盾量和相关信息统计、 提供给其 它服务器、 系统、 网络实体或第三方等等。  The authentication and authorization and accounting servers need to store these quality of service parameters for specific purposes, such as the basis for charging, the amount of service shields used for network management purposes, and related information statistics, and provided to other servers, systems, network entities, or third parties. Wait.

如果是认证授权和计费服务器最终决定授权给用户终端的服务质量 参数, 认证授权和计费服务器将授权的服务质量参数通知给分组数据网 关、 无线局域网接入网络、 无线局域网接入网关和 /或无线局域网用户终 端。 如果在该步骤之前执行了步骤 4, 则认证授权和计费服务器将协商出 的服务质量参数通知给无线局域网接入网絡和 /或无线局域网接入网关。 如果某个网络实体不能接受授权的服务盾量参数, 或不能提供授权的服 务质量参数, 则根据网络侧的配置, 提供降低的服务质量参数, 或发起 断开连接流程, 也可能是保持现有的服务质量。 If the authentication authorization and accounting server finally determines the quality of service parameters authorized to the user terminal, the authentication authorization and accounting server notifies the packetized data network of the authorized quality of service parameters. Off, WLAN access network, WLAN access gateway and/or WLAN user terminal. If step 4 is performed prior to this step, the authentication authorization and accounting server notifies the negotiated quality of service parameters to the wireless local area network access network and/or the wireless local area network access gateway. If a network entity cannot accept the authorized service shield parameter, or cannot provide the authorized quality of service parameter, provide the reduced quality of service parameters according to the configuration on the network side, or initiate the disconnection process, or it may remain existing.

If the user is roaming, the sending of the QoS parameter modification request, the negotiation of the service Shield parameter, and the notification of the QoS parameter need to be forwarded by the authentication and authorization and charging agent. .

在漫游情况下 , 分组数据网关通过认证授权和计费代理发送服务质 量参数通知时, 认证授权和计费代理对服务质量参数的转发有两种方式: 一种是不做任何修改直接发送给无线局域网接入网络和 /或无线局域 网接入网关;  In the case of roaming, when the packet data gateway sends the quality of service parameter notification through the authentication and authorization and charging agent, the authentication and authorization agent and the charging agent can forward the quality of service parameters in two ways: one is to send directly to the wireless without any modification. a local area network access network and/or a wireless local area network access gateway;

另一种是才艮据访问网络的状态、 访问网网络侧的配置等条件, 对服 务 量参数作适应性修改。 网络的状态的包括但不限于: 当前用户数、 当前负载、 已用存储器容量、 已用处理器容量、 已用端口数、 可用存储 器容量、 可用处理器容量、 可用端口数等。  The other is to adapt the service parameters according to the status of the access network and the configuration of the access network side. The status of the network includes, but is not limited to, the current number of users, the current load, the used memory capacity, the used processor capacity, the number of used ports, the available memory capacity, the available processor capacity, the number of available ports, and so on.

在漫游情况下, 如果需要, 认证授权和计费服务器也可以存储这些 服务质量参数, 用于特定目的, 例如计费的依据、 用于网管目的的服务 质量和相关信息统计、 提供给其它服务器、 系统、 网络实体或第三方等 等。  In the case of roaming, the authentication and authorization and accounting servers may also store these quality of service parameters for specific purposes, such as the basis of charging, the quality of service and related information statistics for network management purposes, and provision to other servers, System, network entity or third party, etc.
