Table 4
Wherein, in the embodiment of the present invention, the definition that increases the PDN address of PDN address prefix has following two kinds of modes, it is in the field of a byte that the first is recorded in a length newly-increased in NAS signaling by the PDN address prefix comprising in IPv4 address field information, it has increased byte 16 as PDN address prefix field (being the part of overstriking signal), defines as shown in table 5:
Table 5
In the time that PDN types value (PDN Type value) is designated as IPv4 type, PDN address information (PDN Address information) field takies byte 4 to byte 7, is used for depositing an IPv4 address.Preferably, in the embodiment of the present invention, newly-increased length is that the PDN address prefix field of a byte is in PDN Address after end field PDN address information, it is byte 16, but in the embodiment of the present invention, the position of new field is not limited only in PDN Address after end field PDN address information, with the position of new field is arranged on to end field PDN Address and Prefix in PAA IE after identical reason, in NAS signaling, the setting of PDN address prefix position is the consideration of the forward and backward compatibility based on to existing PDN Address message.
In order to save NAS signaling, reduce the change to NAS signaling, can also adopt the second definition mode, be recorded in distributing to for storing PDN Gateway in first byte of field of the IP v4 address of UE in NAS signaling by the PDN address prefix comprising in IPv4 address field information, it has increased a byte in PDNaddress information field, wherein, the first byte is used for recording PDN address prefix (being the part of overstriking signal), other bytes (being that byte 5 is to byte 8) storage PDN Gateway is distributed to the IP v4 address PDN address information of UE, define as shown in table 6:
Table 6
In the time that PDN Type value is designated as IPv4 type, PDN address information and PDN address prefix are shared a field, take 5 bytes, wherein, first character saves to deposit PDN address prefix, is also mask figure place, and follow-up four bytes are used for depositing an IPv4 address.For example, if for 192.168.20.1 of UE distribution is to the IPv4 address field of 192.168.20.31, in the shared field of PDN address information and PDN address prefix, first byte is set to 27, and follow-up four bytes are set to 192.168.20.1.If do not need the address field for UE distributing IP v4,, only for UE distributes an IPv4 address, the value of PDN address prefix is set to 0.
By above-mentioned be that two IE in signaling have increased a field newly, as PDN address prefix, by indicated concrete IPv4 address in the PDN address information comprising in the PDN Address and Prefix that comprises in GTPC signaling and NAS signaling, it is the IPv4 address field that UE distributes that MME and UE can obtain PDN GW so.The embodiment of the present invention for be that the situation that IPv4 address field distributes designs, therefore, this PDN address prefix field only exists in the time that PDN Type is IPv4 type.
After IPv4 address field information is sent to UE by MME, by IP v4 address assignment to UE, and by each IPv4 address assignment IPv4 address field information indication, except IP v4 address to the sub-terminal of any one unallocated IPv4 address that belongs to UE.
