Background technology
Base station from home is a kind of small-sized, lower powered base station, be deployed in indoor places such as family and office, its effect mainly is for the user provides higher service rate and reduces the needed expense of use high rate services, remedies the covering deficiency of existing distributed cellular radio communication system simultaneously.The advantage of base station from home is economical, convenient, low-power output, plug and play, broadband access, support single-mode terminal etc.
Base station from home can be applied in the third generation, and (3G is 3Generation) or in Long Term Evolution (LTE, the LongTerm Evolution) cordless communication network.For the ease of base station from home is managed, introduce new network element, i.e. a home base-station gateway at wireless access network.The function that home base-station gateway is mainly carried out is: the fail safe of checking base station from home, handle the registration of base station from home, base station from home is carried out operation maintenance management, according to Carrier Requirements configuration and control base station from home, be responsible for the data message between exchcange core net (CN, Core Network) and the HeNB.
Fig. 1 is the 3G wireless network architecture schematic diagram that comprises base station from home, as shown in Figure 1, the 3G base station from home is connected to home base-station gateway by the Iuh interface of redetermination, and home base-station gateway is that base station from home is provided to the IuCs interface of core net circuit domain and to the IuPS interface of core network packet-domain.For the 3G wireless network, home base-station gateway is essential in deployment, is used for shielding to introduce behind the base station from home influence to subscriber equipment (UE, User Equipment) and network side; For the LTE wireless network, home base-station gateway is optionally in deployment, therefore, in the LTE wireless network, two kinds of connected modes is arranged between base station from home and the core net, and a kind of is that base station from home directly links to each other with the network element of core net, as shown in Figure 2; Another kind is that base station from home links to each other with the network element of core net by home base-station gateway, as shown in Figure 3.Among Fig. 3, under the situation of introducing home base-station gateway, home base-station gateway can not integrated user plane functions, at this moment, base station from home will with the user plane gateway of core net between directly set up user's face and be connected, as shown in Figure 4, like this, can make the flattening of user's face, reduce data transmission delay.
The access module of base station from home is divided into three kinds of closed mode, mixed mode and open modes.Because base station from home has certain private ownership as user class equipment, therefore, exist signatory restriction for the use of user under the different access modules.When the access module of base station from home is closed mode, has only the contracted user of this base station from home can insert this base station, and enjoy the service that this base station from home provides; When the access module of base station from home was open mode, Any user all can insert this base station from home, and the base station from home of this moment is equal to macro base station; When the access module of base station from home is mixed mode, same Any user all can insert this base station from home, but need whether contract according to the user and distinguish different ranks, that is to say, signatory user has higher service priority when using the base station from home of mixed mode, can enjoy better service quality and class of service.
Whether allow the user to use the access control of base station from home to judge and to carry out by home base-station gateway, also can carry out by the Mobility Management Entity of core net, be that the access control judging point can be at the family expenses base-station gateway, also can be at the Mobility Management Entity of core net.Whether whether have closed user group (CSG, ClosedSubscriber Group) ability and core net according to UE supports the CSG notion to select between the two at family expenses base-station gateway and Mobility Management Entity.Below the selection and the executive mode of access control judging point are simply described.
The CSG notion proposes after introducing base station from home.Usually, the user of an one family or an enterprises forms a closed user group, and this closed user group is distinguished and discerned by CSG sign (CSG ID); For providing the base station from home of service, user in this closed user group has identical CSG sign.The user is by being linked into the pairing base station from home of a plurality of closed user group, for example user's office space, family etc. with operator is signatory.Like this, introduced the notion of permission closed user Groups List (ACL, AllowedCSG List) again, ACL can be stored in the user data server of user's UE and network side.
If user's UE has the CSG ability, promptly UE can discern, read information such as CSG sign, and core net supports the CSG notion, and promptly core net is supported the processing of ACL, so, is positioned at Mobility Management Entity for the user's of corresponding UE access control judging point.CSG sign that when user's initialization inserted, Mobility Management Entity utilized ACL that user data server issues, report in conjunction with base station from home and access module are carried out access control to the user and are judged.
If user's UE does not have the CSG ability or core net is not supported the CSG notion, so, be positioned at home base-station gateway for the user's of corresponding UE access control judging point.When user's initialization inserted, home base-station gateway utilized that self stores or by user ID and the corresponding relation between the base station from home that configuration server obtains the user is carried out the access control judgement.Configuration server can be the database that is used to store user related information in the wireless network, as the corresponding relation between user ID and the base station from home.
If the access module of base station from home changes, there is certain influence for the current user who is in connection status.For example, the access module of base station from home is changed into closed mode by mixed mode or open mode, so, need re-execute access control to the current user who is in connection status, not signatory user is discharged or switches to the sub-district that other are fit to.
Support the CSG notion and because under the different situation of the access control judging points that the CSG ability difference of user's UE causes for core net, concrete handle as follows: the access module of base station from home is changed into closed mode by mixed mode or open mode, and base station from home can be to the access module after home base-station gateway and Mobility Management Entity are notifying changed, be current access module; The user that home base-station gateway does not have the CSG ability to all and is in connection status utilizes the corresponding relation between user ID and the base station to carry out access control to judge; Though and Mobility Management Entity can identify or pairing all cell IDs of this base station from home by the base station from home that base station from home reports, determine current all users that are in connection status, but because Mobility Management Entity can't be discerned user's CSG ability, which user to re-execute access control to and judge thereby can't distinguish, and then judge with the access control of home base-station gateway and to clash or to produce the situation of failing to judge, judging by accident.
