In the prior art, when receive for one in idle condition UE message when, need to re-establish the connection of the UE and base station, need to carry out multiple Signalling exchange between the GW-C and the GW-U during setting up connection, add forwarding surface and the interface message quantity of chain of command, cause forwarding surface and chain of command equipment to handle complicated, improve equipment cost.Moreover, when chain of command concentrates deployment, after forwarding surface distributed deployment, after message reaches forwarding surface, distributed forwarding surface needs the chain of command for notifying to concentrate deployment, causes message forwarding to occur roundabout.Such as after control and forward separating, chain of command equipment can be deployed in provincial capital city, and forwarding surface equipment can be deployed in prefecture-level city, and such words message, which reaches message, to be needed from prefecture-level return provincial capital level processing, cause paging time elongated, Consumer's Experience declines.For this technical problem, in the embodiment of the present invention, forwarding and the control decoupling interface of standard are extended, the GW-U in a network has in advance includes base station in the network by what the GW-C was set up（Evolved Node B, eNB the position of positional information) forwards the related eNB in UE positions positional information and to the beep-page message for the UE, so in the message that the UE for entering idle condition is received as the GW-U, the beep-page message obtained in advance can be directly sent to the related eNB in the predetermined UE positions, each paging forwarding surface is avoided to save described with the excessive problem of interface message caused by chain of command interaction

UE re-establishes the time being connected with base station, improves the Experience Degree of user.

Below in conjunction with the accompanying drawing in the embodiment of the present invention, clear, complete description is carried out to the technical scheme in the embodiment of the present invention, it is clear that described embodiment is only a part of embodiment of the invention, rather than whole embodiments.Based on the embodiment in the present invention, the every other embodiment that those of ordinary skill in the art are obtained under the premise of creative work is not made belongs to the scope of protection of the invention.

Embodiment one

Technical scheme is described the present embodiment for this side from the GW-U in network, GW-U includes a position forward table, and the position forward table includes at least one location sets, and the location sets include the positional information of at least one eNB in the network.

That is, the position forward table that the GW-U is included can be obtained in several ways, such as can the GW-C configure the backward GW-U and issue, can also the GW-C configure after issued by other equipment to the GW-U, the GW-C can also be made in advance first to set up the position forward table with eNB positional information in network on the GW-U, the present invention obtains the position forward table without restriction to the GW-U especially by which kind of mode.So described GW-U to eNB when subsequently sending beep-page message, in this way it is no longer necessary to which the GW-C is additionally provided eNB positional information.Each location sets in the position forward table have corresponding location sets ID, and location sets can correspond to tracing positional area mark（Tracking Area Identity, TAI) or correspondence route location area mark（Routing Area Identity, TAI), a TAI or RAI includes one or more eNB.In general Main Basiss eNB positional informations in a network or location sets are divided with the eNB included in a specific region.Forwarding-table item in the position forward table can be as shown in table 1：

Table 1

The set of actions exemplified by the set of actions for base station a to illustrate, the set of actions for base station a can include：The MAC that purpose MAC is base station a is set, the MAC that source MAC is the GW-U is set, the IP address that purpose IP is base station a is set, the IP address that source IP is the GW-U is set, and determines base station a and GW-U ports being connected etc..It should be noted that, if the GW-U is only completed to the encapsulation work of beep-page message without doing forward process, only only need to set purpose IP to meet demand for the IP address of base station, other forward tables can subsequently be passed through, opposite end MAC is determined according to purpose IP, the information such as output port.The modification that the other set of actions can also include other L2 and L3 header fields is acted, such as increases VLAN marks, increase MPLS labels etc., and is not limited to modification MAC and an IP address, and the present invention is to this without limiting.

Fig. 1 is the method flow diagram of paging in a kind of network provided in an embodiment of the present invention, and methods described includes： S101 :When entering idle condition with the UE of the network connection, the GW-U obtains identity, the ID of the corresponding location sets in the UE regions and the beep-page message for the UE for the UE that the GW-C is sent.

Need exist for explanation be, include the identity of the UE when entering idle condition context release message with the UE that an eNB is connected in the network, for notifying UE described in the GW-C to enter idle condition, the GW-C will determine the ID of the corresponding location sets in the UE regions and the beep-page message for the UE according to the user of UE mark and be sent to the GW-U., can be directly using the beep-page message obtained in advance from the GW-C so when the GW-U is subsequently needing to send the beep-page message for the UE to the corresponding eNB in the UE positions.Eliminate the Signalling exchange between the GW-C when needing to send beep-page message.The paging included in the beep-page message that the GW-C is sent to the GW-U for the UE is identified（Such as S-TMSI) and eNB pagings needed for the information such as paging index, it is necessary to which explanation is that the GW-U is not required to be appreciated that beep-page message body, and only paging need to be ceased body and retained as opaque character string.Beep-page message can also optionally include the partial information of L2 or L3（Such as source MAC, source IP etc.）.

S 102:The GW-U matches the positional information at least one eNB that the corresponding location sets include according to the ID of the location sets from the position forward table.

That is, by taking table 1 as an example, if the location sets ID that the GW-U is received is 1, so by the base station a matched and base station b positional information, if the location sets ID that the GW-U is received is 2, then by the base station c matched, base station d and base station e positional information.

S103:The GW-U judges whether to receive the message for the UE according to the identity of the UE.

That is, when UE is in idle condition, message will not be typically sent out, but might have other network equipments and send message to the UE in idle condition, include the identity of the UE in the message of transmission, the GW-U is by comparing the identity of the purpose UE in message and determining whether to be sent to the message of the UE from the GW-C UE received identity.

S104:When the GW-U confirms to receive the message for the UE, at least one eNB into the location sets matched of the GW-U send the UE the identity and The beep-page message.

By taking list item shown in table 1 as an example, assuming that the location sets ID that GW-U described in S101 is received is 1, match base station a and base station b positional information, the GW-U is according to two set of actions in group list item 1, the purpose MAC and purpose IP of beep-page message are set to base station a and base station b address respectively, and beep-page message is sent from base station a and the base station b connections GW-U port；The GW-U is identical to the beep-page message body in beep-page message is sent to base station a and base station b respectively, but its purpose MAC and purpose IP are base station a and base station b address respectively.Base station a and base station b are received after the beep-page message.According to information, UE described in paging such as the user's marks and paging index in the beep-page message body.

It can be seen that, the message for the UE is received to S104 to UE transmission beep-page messages from S103, between the GW-C and the GW-U and Signalling exchange need not be carried out, the GW-U can complete send the operation of the beep-page message according to the information obtained in advance.Each paging forwarding surface is thus avoid to save the UE with the excessive problem of interface message caused by chain of command interaction and re-establish the time being connected with base station, improve the Experience Degree of user.

It should be noted that, the UE under idle condition may also shift position, when the UE moves out a region set in advance, during into another region, the GW-C obtains the band of position fresh information that the UE is sent by the eNB of region, and the band of position fresh information includes the area information in the region after the UE regions change.Region described here is usually to delimit in advance, delimits rule and the area size present invention without limiting.Area informations of the GW-C in the band of position fresh information redefined from the position forward table corresponding location sets show embodiment on the basis of, before S104 determines to receive the message for the UE, the positional information at least one eNB that the GW-U can also update matching for the change of the UE positions, Fig. 2 is a kind of method flow diagram of area update provided in an embodiment of the present invention, including：

S201 :The GW-U receives the corresponding location sets ID in the UE regions that the GW-C updates, and the UE regions of the renewal are the region after the UE regions change in idle condition.

ID matches the positional information at least one eNB that the corresponding location sets include from the position forward table. That is, before the GW-U is not received by the message for the UE, the corresponding location sets ID in the UE regions that the GW-C updates can be received, by taking table 1 as an example, such as the original residing corresponding location sets ID in region of the UE in idle condition are 1, that is the region residing for the UE includes base station a and base station b, the UE may be in wherein some base station, when the UE moves out the region including base station a and base station b, into another region, such as the region includes base station c, base station d and base station e, the UE can by some base station in the region to the GW-C send band of position fresh information, the location sets ID that band of position fresh information described in the GW-C general layouts redefines out corresponding to the UE regions is 2, the renewal that the GW-U passes through the GW-C, again the position forward table is matched, determine the corresponding base station c of the location sets ID, base station d and base station e, if at this moment the GW-U receives the message for the UE, then the GW-U will send the beep-page message to the base station d and base station e matched again.

After beep-page message is sent to the eNB matched, the GW-U also needs to the message for the UE received before being sent to the eNB where the UE determined.On the basis of embodiment illustrated in fig. 1, Fig. 3 is the method flow diagram of transmission message in a kind of network provided in an embodiment of the present invention, as shown in figure 3, including：

S301 :The GW-U receives the message forwarding information that the GW-C is sent, the message forwarding information includes sending the eNB of service requesting information positional information to the GW-C, and the service requesting information is that the eNB is sent when receiving the response message of the UE after sending the beep-page message to the UE.

S302:The GW-U sends the message for the UE to the eNB.

That is, after the GW-U sends beep-page message to the eNB matched, the eNB carries out paging according to the identity of the UE to the UE, the service requesting information can be sent to the GW-C by receiving the eNB of the response message of the UE, the GW-C determines the positional information for the eNB for sending the service requesting information according to the service requesting information and sent by message forwarding information to the GW-U, so described GW-U is assured that the UE is specifically to have best JA(junction ambient) etc. under which eNB signal cover or with which eNB at present, the positional information for the eNB that the GW-U is carried into the message forwarding information sends the message for the UE.By taking table 1 as an example, such as described GW-U have sent beep-page message, only base station a to base station a and base station b Successful page has arrived the UE, namely receive the response message of the UE, base station a sends service requesting information to the GW-C, the GW-C is determined after base station a positional information, the message forwarding information for the positional information for carrying the base station a is sent to the GW-U, the GW-U sends the message for the UE according to the positional information of the base station a to the base station a.

There is a kind of situation should be noted, after the GW-U sends beep-page message, it is possible to situation of the eNB pagings less than the UE for receiving the beep-page message occur, if the GW-U-straight is waited and reserved handling process for the UE or Slow deposits the message for the UE always, meeting GW-U described to waste resource, reduces efficiency.Therefore be this, the embodiments of the invention provide judge time out event by way of in the GW-U timing, the message forwarding information also is not obtained from the GW-C to time-out, the paging time out event message for indicating paging time-out will be sent to the GW-C, the GW-C will indicate that the GW-U Lost abandon the message waited to the UE.To mitigate the processing load of the GW-U.On the basis of embodiment as shown in Figure 1, Fig. 4 is judge the overtime method flow diagram of paging in a kind of network provided in an embodiment of the present invention, as shown in Figure 4, after at least one eNB of the GW-U into the location sets matched sends the identity of the UE and the beep-page message, including：

S401:When the GW-U does not receive the message forwarding information that the GW-C is sent in the given time, the paging time out event message sent to the GW-C.

Need exist for explanation be, shown GW-U can proceed by timing after the identity of from least one eNB transmissions UE to the location sets matched and the beep-page message, because shown GW-U can't directly receive the service requesting information of eNB returns, therefore the GW-U is only when receiving the message forwarding information for this paging UE from the GW-C, timing can just be stopped, otherwise when timing time exceeds the scheduled time, the paging time out event message that the GW-U is sent to the GW-C, for indicating this paging UE time-out.

S402:GW-U receptions GW-C Zhi Shi Lost abandon the message for the UE.That is, when the GW-C receives the paging time out event message that the GW-U is sent, this paging UE time-out is determined, will indicate that the GW-C Lost abandon the reserved message for the UE, mitigate the unnecessary burden of the GW-U.

As can be seen that the GW-U has includes the position forward table of eNB positional information in the network by what the GW-C was set up, and there is UE to obtain the institute that the GW-U is sent when entering idle condition State the related eNB in UE identity, UE positions positional information and to the beep-page message for the UE, so in the message that the UE for entering idle condition is received as the GW-U, unnecessary Signalling exchange need not be carried out to the GW-C again just directly can send the beep-page message obtained in advance to the related eNB in the predetermined UE positions, save the UE and the time being connected is re-established with base station, improve the Experience Degree of user.

Meanwhile, it can upgrade in time into the UE of idle condition change in location, improve the success rate of UE described in paging.And add operation to paging UE whether the judgement of time-out, the paging UE of time-out is operated into corresponding message Ji Shi Lost are abandoned, to mitigate the processing load of the GW-U.Embodiment two

Technical scheme is described the present embodiment for this side from the GW-C in network, the GW-C sets up position forward table on the GW-U or sends the position forward table to the GW-U, the position forward table includes at least one location sets, and the location sets include the positional information of at least one base station eNB in the network.

The form and content of forwarding-table item may refer to the associated description in embodiment one in the associated description for the position forward table set up on the GW-U and the position forward table, repeat no more here.

Fig. 5 is the method flow diagram of paging in a kind of network provided in an embodiment of the present invention, as shown in the figure：Methods described includes：

S501 :When entering idle condition with the user equipment (UE) of the network connection, the GW-C receives UE context release messages, and the UE contexts release message includes the identity of the UE.

S502:The GW-C determines that the UE is currently located the area information in region according to the identity of the UE.

Need exist for explanation be, optionally, in the prior art, when a UE is connected in network, the corresponding relation of the identity that the UE will be uploaded and the area information for being currently located region is to the GW-C, thus the GW-C is by comparing the corresponding relation, it is determined that area information corresponding with the identity of the UE.

Region described here is usually to delimit in advance, delimits rule and the area size present invention without limiting. S503:The GW-C determines the ID of corresponding location sets according to the area information from the position forward table.

By taking table 1 as an example, if the location sets ID that the GW-U is received is 1, so by the base station a matched and base station b positional information, if the location sets ID that the GW-U is received is 2, then by the base station c matched, base station d and base station e positional information.The ID and the beep-page message for the UE of the corresponding location sets in region.

In advance will be for the necessary information of GW-U is sent to the GW-U during UE described in paging, so cause when the GW-U receives the message of the UE for entering idle condition, it is not necessary to which carry out unnecessary Signalling exchange to the GW-C again just directly can send the beep-page message obtained in advance to the related eNB in the predetermined UE positions.

It should be noted that, the UE under idle condition may also shift position, when the UE moves out a region set in advance, during into another region, the GW-C obtains the band of position fresh information that the UE is sent by the eNB of region, and the band of position fresh information includes the area information in the region after the UE regions change.On the basis of embodiment illustrated in fig. 5, Fig. 6 is a kind of method flow diagram of area update provided in an embodiment of the present invention, including：

S601 :When the UE regions change in idle condition, the GW-C obtains the band of position fresh information that the UE is sent, and the band of position fresh information includes the area information in the region after the UE regions change.

It should be noted that the region where before the UE in idle condition is moved out, during into a new region, the UE will send the band of position fresh information by some eNB being presently in new region.

S602:Area informations of the GW-C in the band of position fresh information determines the ID of corresponding location sets from the position forward table.

S603：The GW-C updates the corresponding location sets ID in the UE regions to the GW-U.

The location sets upgraded in time corresponding to the area information of the UE regions, can make it that the eNB included to the location sets is sent out when the GW-U is receiving the message for the UE Beep-page message is sent by having higher success rate that the UE is received.By taking table 1 as an example, such as the original residing corresponding location sets ID in region of the UE in idle condition are 1, that is the region residing for the UE includes base station a and base station b, the UE may be in wherein some base station, when the UE moves out the region including base station a and base station b, into another region, such as the region includes base station c, base station d and base station e, the UE can by some base station in the region to the GW-C send band of position fresh information, the location sets ID that band of position fresh information described in the GW-C general layouts redefines out corresponding to the UE regions is 2, the renewal that the GW-U passes through the GW-C, again the position forward table is matched, determine the corresponding base station c of the location sets ID, base station d and base station e, if at this moment the GW-U receives the message for the UE, then the GW-U is by the base station c matched again, base station d and base station e sends the beep-page message.

After eNB receives the beep-page message, the identity of the UE in the beep-page message is subjected to paging to the UE, the mode of paging can be that all UE into the covering of its own signal scope send paging, only match the UE of the user's mark carried in the paging and can just select to receive.After paging is to the UE, the UE will return to a response message to the eNB for sending the paging, the eNB determines paging to the UE after the response message is received, the service requesting information of the UE will be sent to the GW-C, for the GW-C, optionally, when the GW-C receive by eNB matched send for the UE service requesting information when, the GW-C sends message forwarding information to the GW-U, the message forwarding information includes sending the eNB of service requesting information positional information.

There is a kind of situation should be noted, after the GW-U sends beep-page message, it is possible to situation of the eNB pagings less than the UE for receiving the beep-page message occur, if the GW-U-straight is waited and reserved handling process for the UE or Slow deposits the message for the UE always, meeting GW-U described to waste resource, reduces efficiency.Therefore be this, the embodiments of the invention provide judge time out event by way of in the GW-U timing, the message forwarding information also is not obtained from the GW-C to time-out, the paging time out event message for indicating paging time-out will be sent to the GW-C, the GW-C will indicate that the GW-U Lost abandon the message waited to the UE.To mitigate the processing load of the GW-U.On the basis of embodiment as shown in Figure 5, Fig. 7 is judge the overtime method flow diagram of paging in a kind of network provided in an embodiment of the present invention, as shown in fig. 7, comprises：

S701 :The GW-C obtains the paging time out event message that the GW-U is sent, the paging Time out event message is after the GW-U sends the identity of the UE and the beep-page message for the UE to the eNB determined, to be sent during the message forwarding information for not receiving the GW-C transmissions in the given time.

S702:GW-C UE according to the paging time out event message determines the GW-U pagings fail, and indicate that the GW-U Lost abandon the message for the UE.

Need exist for explanation be, after the GW-U sends the beep-page message for the UE, UE progress timing described in this paging will be started to be directed to, that is it is to judge whether UE is overtime described in this paging by the GW-U, and the GW-C and be not involved in judge time-out, UE described in this paging can only just be can determine that by the GW-U has timed, out, so as to further indicate the next step action of the GW-U.

That is the GW-U when receive that the GW-C sends in the given time for UE described in this paging the message forwarding information when, then stop timing, and the eNB information carried into the message forwarding information sends the message for the UE.If not connecing UE time-out described in time paging in the given time, the GW-C will indicate that the GW-U Lost abandon the message for the UE.
