Communication control method, controller, user equipment, and function instance
First Claim
1. A communication control method, comprising:
- obtaining, by a controller, a first slice identifier corresponding to a service;
determining, by the controller, a first function instance corresponding to the first slice identifier;
separately sending, by the controller, to a first user equipment (UE) and to the first function instance, instruction information for setting up a bearer, wherein the bearer is used to transmit a data packet of the service corresponding to the first UE, the bearer corresponds to the first slice identifier, and the instruction information carries an identity of the first UE and an identity of the first function instance; and
obtaining, by the controller, a correspondence between the service and a network slice, wherein the network slice corresponds to the first slice identifier, wherein the obtaining, by the controller, the correspondence between the service and the network slice comprises;
receiving, by the controller, service information from a service provisioning server, wherein the service information comprises a service identity corresponding to the service and a quality of service requirement of the service;
deploying, by the controller, the first function instance according to the service information, and setting up a correspondence between the first function instance deployed for the service and the network slice; and
setting up, by the controller, the correspondence between the service and the network slice according to the first function instance deployed for the service.

Abstract
The present disclosure provides a communication control method, a controller, a user equipment, and a function instance that can meet quality of service requirements of services with different requirements. The communication control method includes: obtaining, by a controller, a first slice identifier corresponding to a first service; determining, by the controller according to the first slice identifier, a first function instance corresponding to the first slice identifier; and separately sending, by the controller, to a first user equipment (UE) and the first function instance, instruction information for setting up a bearer, where the bearer is used to transmit a data packet of the first service corresponding to the first UE, the bearer corresponds to the first slice identifier, and the instruction information carries an identity of the first UE and an identity of the first function instance.

8. A communication control method, comprising:
-
receiving, by a first user equipment (UE), instruction information for setting up a bearer corresponding to a first slice identifier, wherein the instruction information carries an identity of the first UE and an identity of a first function instance; setting up, by the first UE according to the instruction information, the bearer between the first UE and the first function instance, for serving a first service of the first UE, wherein the first function instance corresponds to the first slice identifier; transmitting, by the first UE, a data packet of the first service using the bearer, wherein the data packet corresponds to the first slice identifier; sending, by the first UE, an uplink scheduling request to a first base station, wherein the uplink scheduling request comprises one or more of the first slice identifier and a first connection identity corresponding to the data packet that the first UE needs to send; and receiving, by the first UE, resource assignment information from the first base station, wherein the resource assignment information comprises one or more of the first slice identifier and the first connection identity, wherein the at least one of a processing resource or a transmission resource corresponds to one or more of the first slice identifier and the first connection identity, and wherein the at least one of the processing resource or the transmission resource comprises an air interface transmission resource. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11)

12. A controller, comprising:
-
a processor configured to obtain a first slice identifier corresponding to a service, and determine, according to the first slice identifier, a first function instance corresponding to the first slice identifier; a transmitter configured to separately send, to a first user equipment (UE) and to the first function instance, instruction information for setting up a bearer, wherein the bearer is used to transmit a data packet of the service corresponding to the first UE, the bearer corresponds to the first slice identifier, and the instruction information carries an identity of the first UE and an identity of the first function instance; and a receiver configured to receive service information from a service provisioning server, wherein the service information comprises a service identity corresponding to the service and a quality of service requirement of the service; wherein the processor is further configured to deploy the first function instance according to the service information, set up a correspondence between the first function instance deployed for the service and a network slice, and set up the correspondence between the service and the network slice according to the first function instance deployed for the service. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14)

15. A user equipment, comprising:
-
a receiver configured to receive instruction information for setting up a bearer corresponding to a first slice identifier, wherein the instruction information carries an identity of the user equipment and an identity of the first function instance; a processor configured to set up, according to the instruction information, the bearer between the user equipment and the first function instance, for serving a first service of the user equipment, wherein the first function instance corresponds to the first slice identifier; and a transmitter configured to transmit a data packet of the first service by using the bearer, wherein the data packet corresponds to the first slice identifier; wherein the transmitter is further configured to send an uplink data packet to the first function instance by using the bearer, so that the first function instance processes the uplink data packet by using at least one of a processing resource or a transmission resource corresponding to the first slice identifier; and wherein the receiver is further configured to receive, by using the bearer, a downlink data packet from the first function instance after the first function instance processes the downlink data packet by using the at least one of the processing resource or the transmission resource corresponding to the first slice identifier. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17)
