无线网络-LTE (09) 通信过程之 Session Management -- Dedicated bearer activation

这个流程可以让手机取得所需的移动承载资源。

1. If dynamic PCC is deployed, the PCRF sends a PCC decision provision (QoS policy) message to the PDN GW. This corresponds to the initial steps of the PCRF-Initiated IP CAN Session Modification procedure or to the PCRF response in the PCEF initiated IP-CAN Session Modification procedure as defined in TS 23.203 [6], up to the point that the PDN GW requests IP CAN Bearer Signalling. If dynamic PCC is not deployed, the PDN GW may apply local QoS policy.


如果网络中部署了PCC，PCRF会发送 PCC decision provision (QoS policy) 消息到 PDN GW。这个与the PCRF-Initiated IP CAN Session Modification 初始化过程相对应或者做为PCRF在PCEF initiated IP-CAN Session Modification 过程中的响应，这取决于PDN GW requests IP CAN Bearer Signalling。如果没有部署动态PCC，PDN GW 会使用本地的QoS策略。




2. The PDN GW uses this QoS policy to assign the EPS Bearer QoS, i.e., it assigns the values to the bearer level QoS parameters QCI, ARP, GBR and MBR; see clause 4.7.3. The PDN GW sends a Create Bearer Request message (IMSI, PTI, EPS Bearer QoS, TFT, S5/S8 TEID, Charging Id, LBI, Protocol Configuration Options) to the Serving GW, the Linked EPS Bearer Identity (LBI) is the EPS Bearer Identity of the default bearer. The Procedure Transaction Id (PTI) parameter is only used when the procedure was initiated by a UE Requested Bearer Resource Modification Procedure - see clause 5.4.5. Protocol Configuration Options may be used to transfer application level parameters between the UE and the PDN GW (see TS 23.228 [52]), and are sent transparently through the MME and the Serving GW.


NOTE: The PCO is sent in the dedicated bearer activation procedure either in response to a PCO received from the UE, or without the need to send a response to a UE provided PCO e.g. when the network wants the bearer to be dedicated for IMS signalling.


PDN GW使用 Qos 策略来指定EPS Bearer QoS。例如：它会指定一些承载层的QoS参数 QCI, ARP, GBR and MBR等。PDN GW 发送Create Bearer Request message (IMSI, PTI, EPS Bearer QoS, TFT, S5/S8 TEID, Charging Id, LBI, Protocol Configuration Options) 到Serving GW Linked EPS Bearer Identity (LBI) 是默认的 EPS Bearer Identity。
Procedure Transaction Id (PTI) parameter 只在由手机发起的 Bearer Resource Modification 过程中被使用。Protocol Configuration Options 也许会被用来传送UE 和 PDN GW 之间应用层的参数，它是通过MME 和 Serving GW 透明传送的。




3. The Serving GW sends the Create Bearer Request (IMSI, PTI, EPS Bearer QoS, TFT, S1-TEID, LBI, Protocol Configuration Options) message to the MME. If the UE is in ECM-IDLE state the MME will trigger the Network Triggered Service Request from step 3 (which is specified in clause 5.3.4.3). In that case the following steps 4-7 may be combined into Network Triggered Service Request procedure or be performed standalone.


Serving GW 发送 Create Bearer Request (IMSI, PTI, EPS Bearer QoS, TFT, S1-TEID, LBI, Protocol Configuration Options) 到 MME。如果手机是ECM-IDLE 状态，MME会触发Network Triggered Service Request，在这种情况下第4-7步会被与Network Triggered Service Request 过程合并在一起，或者单独运行。

4. The MME selects an EPS Bearer Identity, which has not yet been assigned to the UE. The MME then builds a Session Management Request including the PTI, TFT, EPS Bearer QoS parameters (excluding ARP), Protocol Configuration Options, the EPS Bearer Identity and the Linked EPS Bearer Identity (LBI). If the UE has UTRAN or GERAN capabilities, the MME uses the EPS bearer QoS parameters to derive the corresponding PDP context parameters QoS Negotiated (R99 QoS profile), 
Radio Priority, Packet Flow Id and TI and includes them in the Session Management Request. If the UE indicated in the UE Network Capability it does not support BSS packet flow procedures, then the MME shall not include the Packet Flow Id. The MME then signals the Bearer Setup Request (EPS Bearer Identity, EPS Bearer QoS, Session Management Request, S1-TEID) message to the eNodeB.


MME选择一个未分配的EPS Bearer Identity。MME 会创建一个Session Management Request 消息，其中包含PTI, TFT, EPS Bearer QoS Protocol Configuration Options, the EPS Bearer Identity and the Linked EPS Bearer Identity (LBI)等参数。如果手机有UTRAN or GERAN能力，MME会使用EPS bearer QoS 参数来获取相应的 PDP context parameters QoS Negotiated (R99 QoS profile), Radio Priority, Packet Flow Id and TI 然后包含在Session Management Request消息中。如果手机的UE Network Capability显示手机不支持BSS packet flow过程，MME 则不应包含Packet Flow Id。MME发送Bearer Setup Request (EPS Bearer Identity, EPS Bearer QoS, Session Management Request, S1-TEID) 消息到eNodeB。




5. The eNodeB maps the EPS Bearer QoS to the Radio Bearer QoS. It then signals a RRC Connection Reconfiguration (Radio Bearer QoS, Session Management Request, EPS RB Identity) message to the UE. The UE shall store the QoS Negotiated, Radio Priority, Packet Flow Id and TI, which it received in the Session Management Request, for use when accessing via GERAN or UTRAN. The UE NAS stores the EPS Bearer Identity and links the dedicated bearer to the default bearer indicated by 
the Linked EPS Bearer Identity (LBI). The UE uses the uplink packet filter (UL TFT) to determine the mapping of traffic flows to the radio bearer. The UE may provide the EPS Bearer QoS parameters to the application handling the traffic flow. The application usage of the EPS Bearer QoS is implementation dependent. The UE shall not reject the RRC Connection Reconfiguration on the basis of the EPS Bearer QoS parameters contained in the Session Management Request.


NOTE 2: The details of the Radio Bearer QoS are specified in TS 36.300 [5].


eNodeB 把 EPS Bearer QoS 对应到 Radio Bearer QoS，然后发送RRC Connection Reconfiguration (Radio Bearer QoS, Session Management Request, EPS RB Identity) 消息到手机。手机应该从Session Management Request消息中获取QoS Negotiated, Radio Priority, Packet Flow Id and TI参数并保存，当接入GERAN or UTRAN时使用。手机保存EPS Bearer Identity 并连接专用的承载到由Linked EPS Bearer Identity (LBI)指定的默认的承载ID。手机使用上行分组过滤器(UL TFT) 来决定数据流和无线承载之间的映射关系。手机会提供EPS Bearer QoS参数给应用层来处理数据流。手机不应该拒绝包含在Session Management Request消息中，基于EPS Bearer QoS 参数的 RRC Connection Reconfiguration。




6. The UE acknowledges the radio bearer activation to the eNodeB with a RRC Connection Reconfiguration Complete message.

手机通过RRC Connection Reconfiguration Complete message来响应 eNodeB的无线承载激活。

7. The eNodeB acknowledges the bearer activation to the MME with a Bearer Setup Response (EPS Bearer Identity, S1-TEID) message. The eNodeB indicates whether the requested EPS Bearer QoS could be allocated or not.

eNodeB通过 Bearer Setup Response (EPS Bearer Identity, S1-TEID) 消息响应 MME.eNodeB会指示出要求的EPS Bearer QoS 是否被分配了。

8. The UE NAS layer builds a Session Management Response including EPS Bearer Identity. The UE then sends a Direct Transfer (Session Management Response) message to the eNodeB.


手机的NAS层创建了一个包含 EPS Bearer Identity 的Session Management Response 消息。然后手机发送Direct Transfer (Session Management Response)到eNodeB。

9. The eNodeB sends an Uplink NAS Transport (Session Management Response) message to the MME.


eNodeB发送Uplink NAS Transport (Session Management Response) 消息到MME。

10. Upon reception of the Bearer Setup Response message in step 7 and the Session Management Response message in step 9, the MME acknowledges the bearer activation to the Serving GW by sending a Create Bearer Response (EPS Bearer Identity, S1-TEID) message.

根据第七步 Bearer Setup Response 消息的反馈和第九不Session Management Response消息，MME发送 Create Bearer Response (EPS Bearer Identity, S1-TEID) 
到Serving GW 




11. The Serving GW acknowledges the bearer activation to the PDN GW by sending a Create Bearer Response (EPS Bearer Identity, S5/S8-TEID) message.


Serving GW 通过发送 Create Bearer Response (EPS Bearer Identity, S5/S8-TEID)来响应PDN GW。

12. If the dedicated bearer activation procedure was triggered by a PCC Decision Provision message from the PCRF, the PDN GW indicates to the PCRF whether the requested PCC decision (QoS policy) could be enforced or not, allowing the completion of the PCRF-Initiated IP CAN Session Modification procedure or the PCEF initiated IP-CAN Session Modification procedure as defined in TS 23.203 [6], after the completion of IP CAN bearer signalling.

如果专用承载激活过程是被来自PCRF的PCC Decision Provision消息触发的，PDN GW 会通知 PCRF PCC decision (QoS policy)是否是被强制的。并且允许PCRF-Initiated IP CAN Session Modification 过程 或者 the PCEF initiated IP-CAN Session Modification 过程在IP CAN bearer signalling结束之后结束。



NOTE 3: The exact signalling of step 1 and 12 (e.g. for local break-out) is outside the scope of this specification. This signalling and its interaction with the dedicated bearer activation procedure are to be specified in TS 23.203 [6]. Steps 1 and 12 are included here only for completeness.
