Description

In a kind of evolvement network, set up method, Apparatus and system that S1 signaling connects
Technical field
The present invention relates to communication technical field, relate in particular to method, the Apparatus and system of in a kind of evolvement network, setting up the connection of S1 signaling.
Background technology
In SAE (System Architecture Evolution)/LTE (Long Term Evolution) network, S1 interface is eUTRAN (wireless access network of evolution) and CN Node (core net node, comprise MME/UPE) between interface, described interface is divided into chain of command interface S1-CP and interface in the user plane S1-UP.Wherein S1-CP is the interface between eUTRAN and MME (chain of command entity), and S1-UP is the interface between eUTRAN and UPE (user entity).
In SAE/LTE network, between eNodeB (base station of the evolution that eUTRAN comprises) and MME, the logic of two S1-CP applying portion inter-entity connects and is called the connection of S1 signaling, and S1-CP applying portion is S1 chain of command Application of Interface part agreement.In current SAE/LTE network, adopt SCTP (SCTP)/IP agreement to transmit the host-host protocol of the S1 interface control plane signaling of point-to-point.The protocol stack of S1-CP interface as shown in Figure 1.
ERANAP protocol entity shown in Fig. 1 is S1-CP applying portion protocol entity, for the application signaling on SCTP transmission link is properly routed in the entity of S1 chain of command Application of Interface part, need between transmission link is connected with S1 signaling, have an incidence relation one to one, at present optional correlating method has following two kinds:
Method 1: the identification information that adopts PPI (Payload Protocol Identifier, Payload protocol-identifier) the field transmission S1 signaling in Stream Control Transmission Protocol packet header to connect, performing step is as follows:
1) eNodeB or MME are in the time that the connection of NAS (Non-Access Stratum) signaling is set up, for each UE distributes a S1 signaling connection identifier (S1 signalling connection ID), which entity is initiated NAS signaling and is connected foundation, just by described entity partitioning S1 signaling connection identifier, then in the Article 1 NAS message on this S1 signaling connects, send this S1 signaling connection identifier to peer node, as S1 signaling connection identifier being included in S1 Application Part signaling message initial UE message Initial UE Message, pass to MME by eNodeB entity, eNodeB need to preserve this S1 signaling connection identifier with MME within S1 signaling is connected the cycle existing,
2) eNodeB is respectively newly-established S1 signaling with MME and is connected allocate communications example, and described S1 signaling connects by the coupling (SCTP Association) of two ends SCTP entity and SCTP and flows (SCTP Stream) and S1 signaling connection identifier unique identification;
3) in the time that the eRANAP of eNodeB communication entity need to send a message to the eRANAP communication entity of MME, eNodeB doses S1 signaling connection identifier in the PPI field of each SCTP data block, then by Stream Control Transmission Protocol, described message is sent to MME entity;
4) MME entity is properly routed to by this message the communication instance that this S1 signaling connects according to the PPI field in each SCTP data block.
Method 2: as shown in Figure 2, for eNodeB and MME distribute respectively a communication context mark (MME communication context identifier, eNB communication context identifier), eNodeB or MME entity carry corresponding communication context mark in every application layer signaling message, and opposite end application layer signaling entity is routed to signaling message in correct communication entity according to this communication context mark.
In SAE/LTE network, switch (Intra-LTE HO) in LTE at present, flow process as shown in Figure 3, comprises the steps:
Step 1: the UE context in the eNodeB of source includes roaming restricted information, source eNodeB entity is according to the measurement control procedure of described roaming restricted information configuration UE;
Described roaming restricted information provides in the time that connection is set up or when TA (tracking area) upgrades the last time, and described source eNodeB provides metrical information to UE, contributes to control the connection moving process of UE.
Step 2:UE triggers reporting of measurement report according to the rule of specifying;
Described UE can be according to the rule of certain appointment if the reporting measurement reports such as system information be to source eNodeB.
Step 3: RRM (RRM) information of the measurement report that source eNodeB reports according to described UE and source eNodeB, in the time that UE switches, determines UE to be switched to by target eNode B control Yi Ge community;
Step 4: source eNodeB sends handover request HANDOVER REQUEST message to target eNode B, carries target eNode B and switch information required while preparation in described message;
Described information comprises: UE is signaling context reference, Target Cell Identifier, RRC (radio resource control) context, the SAE bearer context at the EPC of S1 interface (block core of evolution) in the X2 of source eNodeB signaling context reference, UE.
Target eNode B connects with reference to coming addressing source eNodeB and EPC by the S1/X2 signaling of UE.Described SAE bearer context comprises: target eNode B is switched the address information of wireless network layer required while preparation and transport network layer, the service quality general picture of SAE carrying and possible access layer configuration information, and target eNode B configures the resource of described needs.
Step 5: target eNode B completes access control according to the described SAE bearer quality of service general picture receiving, to improve the possibility of handover success;
If target eNode B can meet the resource requirement of SAE carrying, distribute respective resources according to the described SAE bearer quality of service general picture of receiving, simultaneously a reserved C-RNTI;
Step 6: target eNode B sends handover request to source eNodeB and replys HANDOVER REQUEST ACKNOLEDGE message, source eNodeB receives described handover request and replys after HANDOVER REQUEST ACKNOLEDGE message, send switching command HANDOVER COMMAND message fixed to UE, and start beginning timer;
In described HANDOVER REQUEST ACKNOLEDGE message, comprise described newly assigned C-RNTI and other possible parameter, as: access parameter, set up RNL/TNL information that forwarding tunnel uses etc.;
In described HANDOVER COMMAND message, comprise: newly assigned C-RNTI, possible time started, SIB of target eNode B etc.
Step 7:UE receives after the switching command of source eNodeB entity transmission, starts to carry out handoff procedure;
Step 8:HANDOVER COMMAND starts after timer expiry, and UE and target eNode B complete synchronizing process, then obtains up Timing Advance;
Step 9: the up Timing Advance response of network to distribute;
Step 10: once successfully access Target cell, UE just sends and switched HANDOVER CONFIRM message to target eNode B, represents to have switched, and target eNode B checks whether the C-RNTI in message is that oneself distributes to confirm;
Step 11: target eNode B sends and switched HANDOVER COMPLETE message to EPC, notifies described in EPC changing district more of UE;
EPC by data route handoff to target eNode B, and the relevant user's face of source of release eNodeB and the resource of transport network layer;
Step 12:EPC sends to have switched to target eNode B and replys HO COMPLETE ACK message, confirms to have switched;
Step 13: target eNode B sends resource to source eNodeB and discharges RELEASE RESOURCE message, trigger source eNodeB releasing resource;
Step 14: receive that described resource discharges after RELEASE RESOURCE message, the resource of source eNodeB release and the context-sensitive Radio Resource of described UE and chain of command.
From above-mentioned narration, after not providing concrete switching in the handoff procedure of prior art and completing, S1 signaling establishment of connection scheme between target eNode B and EPC, therefore, cannot realize target eNodeB and the connection of EPC.
