Description

Base station methods that is used to connect and device
Related application
The application requires the U.S. Provisional Patent Application S.N.60/725 that is entitled as " WIRELESS TERMINALMETHODS AND APPARATUS FOR ESTABLISHING CONNECTIONS ANDBASE STATION METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR ESTABLISHINGCONNECTIONS (wireless terminal methods that is used to connect and device and base station methods that is used to connect and device) " of submission on October 11st, 2005,589 rights and interests, this application is clearly included in this by reference.
Invention field
The present invention relates to communication system, relate in particular to and be used for the method and apparatus that the cordless communication network at for example cellular communications networks etc. connects.
Background of invention
Communication system usually comprises a plurality of network nodes that are coupled to access node, and for example the end node of mobile device etc. is coupled to network by these access nodes.Network node can be arranged into hierarchical structure.Access authentication is the node that is placed in relative higher stratum usually in this network level structure with mandate (AAA) server.They are provided for the information of fail safe and access control purpose usually.In the situation of using aaa server, access node usually has the safety chain with this type of server.This safety chain can pass the one or more nodes in this hierarchical structure.
Operator typically uses radius protocol and the RADIUS aaa server that is associated to come access session in the IP network management.In the future, aaa server may be based on the New Deal such as DIAMETER etc.In the system that uses the RADIUS aaa server, when the user attempts to obtain access to carrier network, during the access session lasts, local-access router sends one or more RADIUS to certificate server usually and inserts request, authenticates this user with the request authentication server based on user's the identity such as network access identifier (NAI) etc.The AAA database will be allowed to access the service features that those users' of its system identity can call in company with them usually and store together.As user during by success identity, its access interface on access device is configured to have the Policy Status that the authorization of service with this user matches.This authorization of service is normally delivered to couple in router via RADIUS by authorization server.When being authorized, the service during the access session is used by the couple in router record, and uses the book keeping operation request message in the radius protocol to send to the billed services device as accounting records.The billed services device can be the part of aaa server, and perhaps it can be the separate server that uses identical agreement with authorization server.If the user is connected to a plurality of couple in routers during individual session, then these a plurality of sessions need be assembled in the billed services device.
AAA system is distributed to couple in router with management ip address distribution (HoA), dynamic assignment HA (home agent), with MN (mobile node) overview and goes back distributing security keys with mobile IP (MIP) coupling usually and authenticates MIP message and protection airlink.Mobile node---promptly can change the end node of its point of network attachment---and typically sends MIP message and obtain access to system, this triggering authentication and authorize the AAA request of this mobile node.AAA MN overview and fail safe state are delivered to couple in router with the service of control by this MN consumption from AAA system subsequently.
MN can change its point of network attachment, for example, and along with they move to another cellular cell and do this change from a cellular cell.This relates to the attachment point of MN is changed to for example second access node of the second router etc. from first access node of for example the first router etc.This process is commonly called changes hand.As a part of changing hand, the CoA of MN (Care-of Address)/CCoA (co-located care-of address) need be updated and use the MIP signaling to be delivered among the HA subsequently, so that grouping is redirected to this MN via this new couple in router.As a part of changing the hand process, need with first couple in router change in the corresponding state information of MN related in the hand with this at least some pass to this new couple in router so that the MN service is not interrupted.This process is called state transfer.State transfer can comprise that for example before former is to deliver to this MN via RADIUS to insert the transmission of session in the AAA overview state information of that AR (couple in router) of its place's beginning.It also can comprise airlink security vectors for example, MN-NAI, MN IP address, MN-EUI-64, MIP registration residue lifetime, the qualification of MN multicast group members, access control state, resource reserved state, differentiated services state, SIP session status, compressor state, MN schedule history and/or because of the transmission of many other potential possible items of the different AR state information of MN.
In at least a known system, the transmission of state information is to reach to the original old access node transmit status pass-along message that connects of this mobile node by communication network by the new access node that mobile node is connecting during a handoff.In response to this, old access node is transmitted to new access node with state information.Alternatively, use core node to store and given mobile node associated state.When described mobile node attempted to shift to another target access node, described target access node can be from described core node retrieval and described mobile node associated state.
Be also referred to as MIPv4[MIPv4] and MIPv6[MIPv6] mobile IP (edition 4 and 6) make mobile node (MN) to register its temporary position to its home agent (HA) by Care-of Address (CoA) indication.Subsequently, the mapping (being also referred to as binding) between the CoA that HA keeps the permanent address of this MN---being also referred to as home address (HoA) in addition---and registered is so that can use IP encapsulation technology (tunnelling) to be redirected to its current location for the grouping of this MN.When using MIPv4, the employed CoA of MN can be the address that belongs to Foreign Agent (FA) in the couple in router, perhaps it can be the address of temporarily distributing to this MN oneself from the couple in router prefix, and it is called as co-located care-of address (CCoA) in this case.Back one model also can be applicable to MIPv4, though it is unique mode of operation in MIPv6.Attention: with regard to the purpose of this document, term CCoA and CoA and registration and Binding Update (BU) are interchangeable, because they are corresponding terms of MIPv4 and MIPv6.
