Description

Data transmission method during Routing Area Update
Technical field
The present invention relates to 3-G (Generation Three mobile communication system) (3GPP) technical field, relate to or rather a kind of between service universal grouping wireless business supporting node (SGSN) data transmission method during Routing Area Update.
Background technology
Adopt among the 3GPP of Wideband Code Division Multiple Access (WCDMA) (WCDMA) air interface technologies, comprise Radio Access Network (RAN, Radio Access Network) and core network (CN, Core Network).Wherein, core net is from being divided into circuit domain (CS, Circuit Switched Domain) and packet domain (PS, Packet Switched Domain) in logic.The GPRS Support Node (GSN) that comprises SGSN and Gateway GPRS Support Node (GGSN) belongs to the PS territory in the core net.
SGSN is the functional node in the WCDMA core net PS territory, this node links to each other with radio network controller (RNC), GGSN, attaching position register/AUC (HLR/AUC), mobile switching center network elements such as (MSC/VLR) by interface, and links to each other with other SGSN by the Gn/Gp interface.SGSN mainly provides the functions such as routing forwarding, mobile management, session management, authentication and encryption in PS territory.
All there is packet data protocol (PDP) context travelling carriage in the network (MS), SGSN and GGSN inside, and PDP Context is the ensemble of communication that a session is preserved.Wherein, the common name of the PDP agreement variety of protocol that to be packet data package transmit with discrete form is such as, IP agreement, agreement etc. X.25.The PDP agreement can be used for mutual between external data network and the core net and between the different core network.
Detect and self entered a new route district when being in MS under the GPRS attachment state, or the Routing Area Update timer in cycle is when overflowing, MS can carry out the Routing Area Update flow process.Wherein, if the old and new's route district is not in same SGSN inside, then can carry out the Routing Area Update between the SGSN.
The inter-SGSN routing area update handling process specifically as shown in Figure 1, corresponding following steps:
Steps A 1, MS are when the Routing Area Update that takes place between SGSN, and the SGSN under new route district also is that new SGSN sends Routing Area Update request (Routing Area Update Request).
Step B1, new SGSN by the SGSN under the district, also are that old SGSN sends SGSN context request (SGSN Context Request) to the old road after the request of receiving, with the MM context that obtains this MS from old SGSN and the PDP Context of activation.
Step C1, old SGSN return the SGSN context response information (SGSN Context Request) that carries MM context and PDP Context to new SGSN after receiving this request.
Step D1, new SGSN carry out safety inspection after receiving response message, if the safety inspection failure is then notified MS current Routing Area Update failure, and carried failure cause; If by safety inspection, then carry out subsequent step.
Step e 1, new SGSN send the SGSN context to old SGSN and inform message (SGSN Context Acknowledge Message) after safety inspection is passed through, and to notify old SGSN, this SGSN has prepared to have received data.
Informing that new SGSN is sent carries in the message certainly as old SGSN IP address allocated and tunnel.Wherein, for the PDP Context of each activation, new SGSN can provide the cell (IE) of a Tunnel End Point Identifier (TEID) II for it, but the IP address that is used to receive data has only one.
The tunnel that step F 1, old SGSN are distributed by new SGSN with transfer of data to IP address that new SGSN provided.
Old SGSN is corresponding with PDP Context by the data of each tunnel transmission.
By above-mentioned flow process, the transmission of data in the time of can finishing inter-SGSN routing area update.
In the above-mentioned processing procedure, though PDP Context for each activation, new SGSN is that it has distributed a TEID II who is used for transmission user face data, but new SGSN only provides an IP address that is used to receive data to old SGSN, and this has just brought more limitation.
Specifically, according to GPRS Tunnel Protocol (GTP) agreement, a user can have a plurality of PDP Contexts, and each PDP Context may corresponding different IP address, it is so obvious more flexible: when reality is used, PDP Context can be distributed in arbitrarily in the Different Logic entity of SGSN, the physical interface of each logic entity, also be that the IP address also can be different, the data corresponding with PDP Context are transmitted by the pairing SGSN IP of this PDP Context address and are got final product among the old SGSN, are independent of each other between each data in this transmission means.In addition,, user's PDP Context is assigned to each IP address equably, can also utilizes interface band width resource substantially from the angle of resource allocation.Especially for some high-end user, this user may activate a plurality of PDP Contexts, and the pairing data of each PDP Context may take big bandwidth, at this moment, best mode obviously is the mode that takies by computational resource dynamically, PDP Context is assigned on the different IP addresses, thereby makes the pairing data of PDP Context be transferred on the corresponding different IP addresses, to maximally utilise bandwidth.
According to such scheme, when between SGSN, carrying out routing update, new SGSN only receives the IP address for all data are provided with one, and in the design of GTP agreement, the PDP Context of new SGSN inside be can be corresponding different the IP address, so such scheme produces conflict with the design of GTP agreement possibly.Below issuable conflict between the two is described in detail.
If the IP address that all PDP Contexts that old SGSN sends carry is all identical, this IP address is the address that receives all PDP Context corresponding datas.New SGSN is placed on this IP address and informs in the message that old SGSN can be transferred to all data this IP address, and new SGSN can finish the reception of data by this IP address.In this case, an IP address only is set and realizes transfer of data fully.
But, if the IP address difference that these PDP Contexts carry, what then new SGSN sent informs that the IP address in the message at most can only be identical with the IP address in some or certain several PDP Context, such as, three PDP Contexts 1 that old SGSN sends, 2 and 3 entrained addresses are respectively IP1, IP2 and IP3, the address of carrying in the message of informing of new SGSN is IP1, that is to say, this informs that the IP address in the message is only corresponding with PDP Context 1, like this, though old SGSN has sent to new SGSN by the tunnel with all data, but in fact have only the data of PDP Context 1 correspondence directly to receive by IP1, data for PDP Context 2 and 3 correspondences do not send to corresponding IP address.
In light of this situation, then need in new SGSN, a distribution module be set, with the IP address of this distribution module as informing the IP address of carrying in the message, distribution module is after receiving the data that old SGSN sends by different tunnels, again according to the corresponding relation of this tunnel and PDP Context, the data that each tunnel is sent send to the entrained IP address of corresponding PDP Context, and this process specifically as shown in Figure 2.Obviously, this processing procedure can increase the complexity of new SGSN.
In addition, between SGSN and the RNC and the interface between SGSN and the GGSN in transmission during data, SGSN provides a plurality of IP the address for it, if SGSN only provides an IP address to other SGSN, make between the SGSN and SGSN and other network element between treatment mechanism different.
Summary of the invention
