Step 203: terminal by the 2nd NAS message sink core network control node send by the TFT of streamed data correspondence.
Below in conjunction with end side and network side, introduce the implementation procedure of SIPTO in detail.
Referring to Fig. 3, the detailed implementation method flow process of SIPTO is as follows in the present embodiment:
Step 301: terminal sends connection request.
Step 302: core network control node judges whether to activate the SIPTO of per IP flow, if then continue step 303, otherwise handle according to prior art according to the SIPTO strategy of strategy of the SIPTO in the subscription data of terminal or local configuration.For example, the SIPTO strategy in the subscription data of core network control node inquiry terminal finds that the APN of request allows SIPTO and subscription data to comprise by the TFT of streamed data correspondence, and then decision activates the SIPTO of per IP flow.Perhaps, core network control node is inquired about the SIPTO strategy of local configuration, finds that requirement has the SIPTO of all necessary per of the employing IP of data (as the HTTP data) flow of special characteristic, and then decision activates the SIPTO of per IP flow.
Step 303: core network control node judges whether the current sub-district of terminal is home base station cells, if then continue step 304, otherwise handle according to prior art.How to judge whether home base station cells belongs to prior art to current area, no longer describe in detail in the present embodiment.
Wherein, the execution sequence between the step 302 and 303 does not have strict demand.
Step 304: core network control node sends indication by a NAS message to terminal, and indicating terminal sends connection request once more to identical APN after current connection foundation is finished.
Core network control node waits for that for fear of indefinite duration terminal sends connection request once more, perhaps still sends connection request once more for distinguishing terminal sends connection request first, can start timer after sending indication.
Step 305: terminal once more sends connection request to identical APN according to the indication of receiving after current connection foundation is finished.
When core network control node was received connection request before timer expiry, the step below continuing was if receive connection request, according to receiving the connection request processing first behind the timer expiry.
Step 306: after core network control node is received connection request once more, select the local gateway of Home eNodeB association for terminal.
Step 307: core network control node will be sent to terminal by the TFT of streamed data correspondence by the 2nd NAS message.
In different networks, core network control node can be different entity, as is Mobility Management Entity (MME) or service GPRS (GPRS) support node (SGSN).Because the entity difference so the implementation procedure of SIPTO is also slightly different, is introduced in detail below by two embodiment.
Referring to Fig. 4, realize that by MME the method flow of SIPTO is as follows in the present embodiment:
Step 401:UE (subscriber equipment) sends packet data network connection request (PDN ConnectivityRequest) message.
Step 402:MME judges whether to activate the SIPTO of per IP flow, if then continue step 403, otherwise handle according to prior art according to the SIPTO strategy of strategy of the SIPTO in the subscription data of terminal or local configuration.
Step 403:MME judges whether the current sub-district of terminal is home base station cells, if then continue step 404, otherwise handle according to prior art.
Wherein, step 402 and 403 does not have strict the execution successively.
Step 404:MME sets up the inner carrying of core net.This process comprises: MME sends to gateway (Serving GW) and creates conversation request (Create Session Request) message; Serving GW transmits Create Session Request message to PDN GW (grouped data network gateway); PDN GW and PCRF (policy control and charging rule functions) carry out IP-CAN Sessionestablishment/modification (session of IP user's Access Network is set up or revised); Afterwards, PDN GW sends to Serving GW and creates conversational response (Create Session Response) message; Serving GW is transmitted to MME with Create Session Response.
Step 405:MME sends a NAS message that carries indication (indication) to UE.A NAS message can be specially and activate acquiescence evolved packet system bearer context request (ACTIVATE DEFAULT EPS BEARER CONTEXT REQUEST) message in the present embodiment.Wherein, ACTIVATE DEFAULT EPS BEARER CONTEXT REQUEST message can be carried on MME in carrying foundation request (Bearer SetupRequest) message that Home eNodeB (as family's evolution base station (HeNB)) sends.HeNB can bring UE with ACTIVATE DEFAULT EPS BEARERCONTEXT REQUEST message by RRC (Radio Resource control) connection reconstruction (RRCConnection Reconfiguration) message.And, described indication can realize by the value of expanding the information unit of expression cause value in the NAS message, the ESM cause (the session management reason of EPS (evolved packet system) system) that for example expands in the ACTIVATE DEFAULTEPS BEARER CONTEXT REQUEST message realizes, the value that promptly increases reason is represented the indication in the present embodiment.
Step 406:MME and UE set up the carrying of eating dishes without rice or wine with the S1 interface, promptly connect.This process comprises: UE sends the RRC connection reconstruction to HeNB and finishes (RRC Connection ReconfigurationComplete) message; HeNB sends carrying to MME and sets up response (Bearer Setup Response) message; UE sends to HeNB and directly shifts (Direct Transfer) message; HeNB sends the PDN connection to MME and finishes (PDN Connectivity Complete) message; MME sends to Serving GW and revises carrying request (Modify Bearer Request) message; Serving GW transmits Modify Bearer Request message to PDN GW; PDN GW returns to Serving GW and revises carrying response (Modify Bearer Response) message; MME sends notice request (Notify Request) message to HSS; HSS returns push-notification-answer (Notify Response) message to MME.Wherein, S1 is the interface between Access Network and the core net.
Step 407:UE sends PDN Connectivity Request message once more according to indication.
Step 408:MME is the local gateway that UE selects the Home eNodeB association, and connects.
Step 409:MME sends the 2nd NAS message of the TFT that carries the streamed data correspondence to UE.The 2nd NAS message can be specially and revise evolved packet system bearer context request (MODIFY EPS BEARER CONTEXT REQUEST) message in the present embodiment.
Referring to Fig. 5, realize that by SGSN the method flow of SIPTO is as follows in the present embodiment:
Step 501:MS (portable terminal) sends to SGSN by wireless access network (RAN) and activates packet data protocol context request (Activate PDP Context Request) message, sets up IP with request and connects.
Step 502:SGSN judges whether to activate the SIPTO of per IP flow, if then continue step 503, otherwise handle according to prior art according to the SIPTO strategy of strategy of the SIPTO in the subscription data of terminal or local configuration.
Step 503:SGSN judges whether the current sub-district of terminal is home base station cells, if then continue step 504, otherwise handle according to prior art.
Wherein, step 502 and 503 does not have strict the execution successively.
Step 504:SGSN sets up the inner carrying of core net.This process comprises: SGSN sends to GGSN (Gateway GPRS Support Node, Gateway GPRS Support Node) and creates PDP (PacketData Protocol, packet data protocol) context request (Create PDP Context Request) message; GGSN returns to SGSN and creates PDP Context response (Create PDP Context Response) message; SGSN sends RAB by RAN to MS and sets up (Radio Access Bearer Setup) message; SGSN sends to start to RAN and follows the tracks of (Invoke Trace) message; SGSN sends to GGSN and upgrades PDP Context request (Update PDP Context Request) message; GGSN returns to SGSN and upgrades PDP Context response (Update PDP Context Response) message.
Step 505:SGSN sends a NAS message that carries indication to MS.A NAS message can be specially and activate block data protocol context acceptance (Activate PDP ContextAccept) message in the present embodiment.Wherein, described indication can realize by the value of expanding the information unit of expression cause value in the NAS message, for example realize that the value that promptly increases reason is represented the indication in the present embodiment by the SM cause (session management reason) in the expansion Activate PDP Context Accept message.
Step 506:SGSN and MS set up carrying, promptly connect.
Step 507:MS sends Activate PDP Context Request message once more according to indication.
Step 508:SGSN is the local gateway that MS selects the Home eNodeB association, and connects.
Step 509:SGSN sends the 2nd NAS message of the TFT that carries the streamed data correspondence to MS.The 2nd NAS message can be specially and revise block data protocol context (MODIFY PDPContext) message in the present embodiment.
