Background technology
In the cell mobile communication systems, the Mobility Management Strategy that network side (Network) adopts for idle UE is based on the mobile management of UE control.Just, Network is divided into several TA, and each TA is made up of a plurality of adjacent sub-districts; After UE moves into a new TA, need send the TA update inquiry information to Network and come its positional information is reported, to upgrade the TA of the current registration of this UE.By such mechanism, Network can be to the residing geographical position of UE in the enterprising line trace of TA rank.
When UE when old TA enters a new TA, this UE will carry out the process that TA upgrades, this process may further comprise the steps as shown in Figure 1:
Step 101, UE sends TA update request (TA UPDATING REQUEST) message to Network, to trigger the TA renewal process.
TA UPDATING REQUEST message is carried old route district identifier (RAI, Routing AreaIdentity) and old Short Mobile Station Identifier (TMSI, Temporary Mobile Station Identity), and parameter such as TA updating type; Described old RAI is the RAI of UE in old TA, and described old TMSI is the TMSI of UE in old TA, and RAI is corresponding with TA, and TMSI is illustrated in the sequence number of distributing for UE in the TA, but RAI and TMSI unique identification UE.The described old RAI and the old TMSI that carry in the TA UPDATING REQUEST message, replaceable is IMSI.
Step 102 after Network receives TA UPDATING REQUEST message, if accept the TA update request of UE, is then returned the TA renewal to UE and is replied (TA UPDATING ACCEPT) message, carries new RAI and new TMSI in the TA UPDATING ACCEPT message.
Described new RAI is the RAI of UE in new TA, and described new TMSI is the TMSI of UE in new TA.This step also comprises: after UE receives TA UPDATING ACCEPT message, with new RAI that carries in the message and new TMSI, upgrade old RAI and old TMSI in the UE, just upgrade the TA of the current registration of UE.
Step 103 is after Network receives TA UPDATING REQUEST message, if the TA update request of refusal UE is then returned TA to UE and upgraded refusal (TA UPDATING REJECT) message.
When described TA UPDATING REJECT message was carried Reason For Denial, this step also comprised: after UE received the TA UPDATING REJECT message of carrying Reason For Denial, the storage Reason For Denial waited for that the signaling that is triggered by Network connects release.
Because the mobility of UE, called UE may be in any position among the Network before communication.Cell mobile communication systems use paging is initiated the calling to UE.Mobility Management Strategy based on UE control has determined Network can only know the position of UE in the TA rank, therefore, when Network needs paging UE, after Network is known the TA at UE place, will send on beep-page message all sub-districts in TA.Usually, comprise dozens or even hundreds of sub-district among the TA, when Network need carry out paging to UE, need send identical beep-page message simultaneously in dozens or even hundreds of sub-district, this will consume a large amount of interface-free resources.
At present, the division of wireless communication system TA is subjected to the restriction of following two factors:
1) angle of upgrading from TA is considered: in order to reduce the signaling load that UE sends the frequency of TA update inquiry information and causes thus, TA draws to such an extent that be the bigger the better.Because can reduce the frequency that UE moves into new TA like this;
2) consider from the angle of paging efficiency: in order to reduce scope and the signaling load of initiation thus that beep-page message sends, TA draws the smaller the betterly.Because Network knows the position of UE on the TA rank, TA draws more for a short time, and Network is accurate more with regard to what understand to the geographical position of UE, and correspondingly, the scope that sends beep-page message is more little, and the sub-district that relates to is just few more, and the interface-free resources utilization ratio is just high more.
As seen, current TA divides and only considers two factors, need get compromisely at the load of TA updating message and paging efficiency between the two, when Network carries out paging, exist in the problem that sends identical beep-page message simultaneously in the dozens or even hundreds of sub-district in the TA and cause consuming a large amount of interface-free resources.

Embodiment
For making the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention clearer, below in conjunction with embodiment and accompanying drawing, the present invention is described in more detail.
In the existing TA division methods, do not consider the influence that the UE mobility is divided TA, no matter among the Network all UE speed speeds are all used identical TA division methods, this systematic function that has hindered Network further promotes.Below by of the influence of an example explanation UE mobility to the TA division.
Generally, be in the UE of open state, be in low mobile status in the most of the time very much, just UE does not move substantially, or moves in a small range.For example: when the user of use UE was on duty the time, UE often was placed on the station position for a long time; In night, UE has very that the most of the time is placed on family.
The present invention is in the UE of low mobile status from customizing TA, can form by one or several sub-districts from customization TA, because the coverage of the TA that divides in the prior art from the coverage that customizes TA, like this, Network can follow the tracks of this class UE on higher precision grade, thereby, can be under the prerequisite that does not roll up the load of TA update inquiry information, reduce the range of transmission of beep-page message, improve the paging efficiency of system.
Below by Fig. 2 TA method for updating of the present invention is described, this method may further comprise the steps:
Step 201, Network receives the TA customized messages that UE sends, and described TA customized messages comprises that UE is from customizing the cell list that TA comprises.
Step 202, Network is with customizing the TA that TA upgrades corresponding UE certainly.
Network realizes the renewal to the TA of UE with the TA of the corresponding UE that customizes TA renewal Network preservation certainly that comprises in the TA customized messages that receives.
Referring to Fig. 3, be the example flow diagram of TA method for updating of the present invention, this method may further comprise the steps:
Step 301, UE determines to be in low mobile status.
UE determines that the method that is in low mobile status comprises: the translational speed of UE estimation self, when translational speed continues to be lower than the thresholding of setting, determine that then UE is in low mobile status in setting-up time length.The thresholding of described setting-up time length and described setting can be determined according to actual needs.Particularly, UE determines to be in low mobile status and comprises that following method: UE can use the translational speed of several different methods estimation oneself, for example, use global positioning system (GPS, Global Positioning System) estimation translational speed, when translational speed continues to be lower than the thresholding of setting, then determine to be in low mobile status in setting-up time length; Perhaps, count UE and calculate the translational speed of UE in that the sub-district number of passing through in the time is set, when the translational speed of UE continues to be lower than the thresholding of setting in setting-up time length, determine that then this UE is in low mobile status, the described time span that is provided with can be unit interval or other time that is provided with as required.
Except above-mentioned UE determines to be in the method for low mobile status, UE can also determine to be in low mobile status based on long statistical law, and just, the state that is continued resident a certain sub-district the UE period is defined as low mobile status.For example; the mobility of UE often has the regular hour rule; as use the user of UE to be on duty the period; UE regular meeting resides in specific sub-district; by the statistics of a period of time, obtain the ID of the common persistent district of UE in a certain period in one day or certain several period, based on this statistics; if UE enters this sub-district in this time period, determine that then UE is in low mobile status.
Step 302, UE sends the TA customized messages to Network, the TA that customizes TA renewal corresponding UE certainly that Network comprises with the TA customized messages.
Described TA customized messages comprises:
Type of message: promptly UE is from customizing TA message;
Terminal iidentification: this terminal iidentification comprises old TMSI and old RAI; Described terminal iidentification can get final product by unique identification UE, and for example, this terminal iidentification also can include only IMSI;
Message content: this message content comprises the cell list that subscriber customized TA comprises, and described cell list can comprise the sub-district at the current place of UE, perhaps comprises the sub-district at the current place of UE and near sub-district.When cell list comprised the sub-district at a current place of UE, cell list only comprised a sub-district; When cell list comprised the sub-district at the current place of UE and near sub-district, cell list comprised plural sub-district.
Below in conjunction with Fig. 4 UE is illustrated from the method that customizes TA.Among the figure, zone 1 and zone 2 are wireless communication system two TA that planning is divided based on Network.If UE enters regional 1-1, determine and lay oneself open to low mobile status, then it reports the TA customized messages to Network, inclusion region 1-1 in the cell list that comprises in this message, described regional 1-1 is UE present located position, may be a sub-district or two continuums that above neighbor cell is formed.
Step 303, UE receives the response message to the TA customized messages that Network returns, if described response message customizes for accepting TA, then execution in step 304; If described response message is refusal TA customization, then process ends.
In this step, if the TA customized messages is accepted by Network, then Network returns the response message of accepting the TA customized messages to UE, this response message can comprise new RAI and new TMSI, also can not comprise new RAI and new TMSI: particularly, if it is to cause because the TA that UE divides from Network moves to another TA that UE sends the TA customized messages to Network, then comprise new RAI and new TMSI in the response message, the current position in TA of expression UE, UE upgrades old RAI and the old TMSI that preserves with new RAI and new TMSI after receiving response message; If it is because UE causes in the change of certain TA internal state of Network division that UE sends the TA customized messages to Network, because UE does not shift out TA in definite process of low mobile status, UE is still in described certain TA that Network divides, then comprise old RAI and old TMSI in the response message this moment, UE still uses old RAI and old TMSI after receiving response message.
If the TA customized messages is refused by Network, then Network returns the response message that refusal TA customizes to UE, and this response message content can comprise Reason For Denial.
Step 304 when UE shifts out when customizing TA, judges whether to be in low mobile status, if then execution in step 302; Otherwise, initiate the TA renewal process.
Described TA renewal process is the flow process that TA upgrades in the prior art shown in Figure 1.
After the step 302, when Network need send about the paging of UE, this method comprised: Network sends beep-page message in the sub-district that customizes TA certainly and comprised.Owing to from customizing the number of cells that comprises in the TA seldom, be significantly smaller than the number of cells that comprises in the TA sub-district in the prior art, thereby dwindled the range of transmission of beep-page message, improved paging efficiency, um resource consumed when having reduced the transmission beep-page message.And when customizing TA certainly, the user is in low mobile status, and UE can not shift out continually certainly and customize TA, thereby has controlled the frequency that TA upgrades effectively, has reduced and has carried out the signaling consumption that TA upgrades.
Referring to Fig. 5, be the system configuration schematic diagram that TA of the present invention upgrades, this system comprises UE and network equipment;
Described UE is used for sending the TA customized messages to network equipment, and described TA customized messages comprises that UE is from customizing the cell list that TA comprises;
