Abstract
Embodiments provide a bearer control method and system. The bearer control method includes: establishing a PDN connection when a UE accesses a network; and identifying and transmitting a service data flow of the UE on an air interface bearer between the UE and an access network access node according to obtained QoS information, and transmitting the service data flow by using a transmission tunnel between the access network access node and a core network gateway, or directly sending the service data flow to a packet data network by using the access network access node.
Claims19
A method, comprising:
- receiving, by an access network access node, quality of service (QoS) information from a policy and charging rule function, wherein the access network access node is comprised in a network supporting multiple access technologies;
- allocating, by the access network access node, an air interface resource to an air interface bearer between a user equipment (UE) and the access network access node, wherein the access network access node is wirelessly connected to the UE, and the air interface bearer is a transmission path between the UE and the access network access node;
- identifying, by the access network access node, one or more service data flows of the UE;
- allocating, by the access network access node, the one or more service data flows of the UE to the air interface bearer according to the received QoS information;
- sending, by the access network access node, a mapping relationship between the one or more service data flows of the UE, the air interface bearer, and the air interface resource to the UE;
- and
- transmitting, by the access network access node, the one or more service data flows of the UE on the air interface bearer.
4 more elements
An apparatus, comprising:
- a processor;
- a communications interface;
- a non-transitory memory;
- and
- a bus;
- wherein the processor is configured to execute a program in the memory, causing the processor to:
- receive quality of service (QoS) information from a policy and charging rule function;
- allocate an air interface resource to an air interface bearer between a user equipment (UE) and an access network access node, wherein the access network access node is wirelessly connected to the UE, and the air interface bearer is a transmission path between the UE and the access network access node;
- identify one or more service data flows of the UE;
- allocate the one or more service data flows of the UE to the air interface bearer according to the received QoS information;
- send a mapping relationship between the one or more service data flows of the UE, the air interface bearer, and the air interface resource to the UE;
- and
- transmit the one or more service data flows of the UE on the air interface bearer.
10 more elements
A system, comprising:
- an access network access node;
- and
- a policy and charging rule function, wherein the policy and charging rule function is configured to send quality of service (QoS) information to the access network access node;
- wherein the access network access node is configured to receive the QoS information from the policy and charging rule function;
- and
- wherein the access network access node is further configured to:
- allocate an air interface resource to an air interface bearer between a user equipment (UE) and the access network access node, wherein the access network access node is wirelessly connected to the UE, and the air interface bearer is a transmission path between the UE and the access network access node;
- identify one or more service data flows of the UE, and allocate the one or more service data flows of the UE to the air interface bearer according to the received QoS information;
- send a mapping relationship between the one or more service data flows of the UE, the air interface bearer, and the air interface resource to the UE;
- and
- transmit the one or more service data flows of the UE on the air interface bearer.
