Embodiment
Below in conjunction with Figure of description the embodiment of the invention is elaborated.
In the embodiment of the invention, demand when operator from operation maintenance, need from the Serving GW of existing service, delete whole loads of a Serving GW, or the load on this Serving GW is need reduce the time, in order to guarantee the continuity of customer service, need all or part of carrying of this Serving GW is transferred among other Serving GW.
If this Serving GW that load is transferred is deployed in UTRAN and E-UTRAN boundary, then some UE among the UE that might be served is that ISR activates, for the UE that is in idle condition, the embodiment of the invention provides a kind of scheme of business continuance that as far as possible can guarantee simply, again to solve required Serving GW gravity treatment problem this moment.
As shown in Figure 2, among the embodiment, the handling process of the gateway of gravity treatment subscriber equipment is as follows:
Step 21, after receiving the load unloading command, provide a ServingGW of load service to send the reorientation indication to the connected network equipment for UE.
In the enforcement, the load unloading command can be by O﹠amp; M (Operations﹠amp; Maintenance, operation and safeguard) system sends to gateway.
Step 22, after receiving described reorientation indication, the network equipment that is connected with a Serving GW sends paging command to the UE that is in idle condition and has activated ISR.
Step 23, after the page response order that receives described UE, the ISR of described network equipment deexcitation UE.
Behind the ISR of step 24, deexcitation UE, the described network equipment will be used to replace a Serving GW that the 2nd Serving GW of load service is provided the Serving GW as described UE.
In the flow process shown in Figure 2, step 21 is beginnings that Serving GW gravity treatment triggers, and works as O﹠amp; When the M system need change load between the service state of Serving GW or the different Serving GW of balance, O﹠amp; M is to Serving GW transmitting control commands, and the unloading command of promptly loading is in order to change loading condition.For ease of describing, the Serving GW of the load that title need change in the embodiment of the invention is a ServingGW, this moment, the one Serving GW needed to all MME and the indication of the reorientation in the SGSN forwarding step 22 that it connected, and requiring MME and SGSN is that the UE that is connected to this Serving GW reselects Serving GW.
An instantiation as shown in Figure 3, Serving GW gravity treatment triggers implementing procedure following (wherein, Old Serving GW is a Serving GW, and New Serving GW is the 2nd Serving GW):
Step 31, O﹠amp; M sends the load unloading command to Old Serving GW.
It unloads load on it this command request, can specifically carry indication in the order and show that requirement unloads whole loads or fractional load.
Step 32, Old Serving GW send the reorientation indication to all MME and the SGSN of its connection.
The load that the reorientation indication requires MME and SGSN will be connected to Old Serving GW reduces.
Step 33, SGSN, MME select New Serving GW as new service node, and carry out Serving GW gravity treatment.
In this step, MME or SGSN are that the UE that is connected to Old Serving GW reselects NewServing GW as the user plane gateways service node, and carry out the reuse adoption process of Serving GW.
After flow process shown in Figure 3, just finished and be identified for replacing a Serving GW that the process of the 2nd Serving GW of load service is provided, simultaneously, the one Serving GW has also sent the reorientation indication, the follow-up processing procedure that just can be implemented as the Idle state UE gravity treatment Serving GW of ISR activation.Because being mainly, the embodiment of the invention solves the alternate treatment that how to realize on interface and the signaling process between the gateway, and as for some scenes that may occur, when for example existing a plurality of UE of can be that the ServingGW of load service is provided, how therefrom choosing aforementioned replacement the one Serving GW provides the 2nd ServingGW of load service, can be by a Serving GW according to the pre-configured strategy of operator, perhaps the algorithm that presets in program according to producer is realized, one of ordinary skill in the art will appreciate that and implement, do not repeat them here.
UE for the ISR activation, when it is in idle condition following time, network can't know that it is specifically under the coverage of UTRAN or under the coverage of E-UTRAN, therefore the network equipment that is connected with a Serving GW need scan the UE that is in idle condition, carry out paging for the UE that has wherein activated ISR, require UE to transfer to the definite position at state of activation and clear and definite its place.Concrete:
If a UE who is in idle condition and has activated ISR is at UTRAN, then the network equipment that is connected with a ServingGW is SGSN; The network equipment with the gateway of the 2nd Serving GW as described UE can be: SGSN initiates Detach (attachment removal) process, when UE is attached to network again, with the gateway of the 2nd Serving GW as described UE.
Further, SGSN sends deexcitation ISR indication to the associated MME of the ISR of deexcitation UE, is used to trigger the ISR of MME deexcitation UE, and this indication can send as a message separately, also can send by carrying the back in other S3 interface message.
After MME receives deexcitation ISR indication,, upgrade or deletion UE context according to the ISR of indication deexcitation UE.
In the enforcement, under the coverage of UE at UTRAN, then the network equipment SGSN that is connected with a Serving GW can receive the Paging Response (page response) of UE.SGSN after receiving Pagingresponse, the ISR of deexcitation UE, and send message informing MME.SGSN can have multiple mode to handle afterwards, for example:
(1) initiation Detach crosses range request UE and is attached to network again, and SGSN will be that UE selects Serving GW again;
Or (2) SGSN sends out a NAS (Non-Access Stratum, Non-Access Stratum) message and gives UE, requires UE to carry out the RAU process, and SGSN is that UE selects a Serving GW in addition.
(1) advantage of planting mode is not need to introduce new NAS message; (2) kind mode then can guarantee professional continuity.
If two UE that are in idle condition and activated ISR are at E-UTRAN, then the network equipment that is connected with a ServingGW is MME; The network equipment with the gateway of the 2nd Serving GW as described UE can be: MME is when calling the gateway reuse adoption process that is triggered by Service Request (service request), with the gateway of the 2nd Serving GW as described UE.
Further, MME sends deexcitation ISR indication to the associated SGSN of the ISR of deexcitation UE, is used to trigger the ISR of described SGSN deexcitation UE, and this indication can send as a message separately, also can carry transmission by other S3 interface message.
After SGSN receives deexcitation ISR indication,, upgrade or deletion UE context according to the ISR of indication deexcitation UE.
In the enforcement, if UE under the coverage of E-UTRAN, then MME can receive the Paging response of UE.MME after receiving Paging Response, the ISR of deexcitation UE, and send message informing SGSN.MME can call the Serving GW reuse adoption process that is triggered by Service Request afterwards, simultaneously the business of this UE is transferred on another Serving GW.
An instantiation as shown in Figure 4, following (wherein, Old Serving GW is a Serving GW, and New Serving GW is the 2nd Serving GW to the Idle state UE gravity treatment Serving GW signaling process that activates ISR, simultaneously, when implementing to describe, MME and SGSN are carried out simultaneously):
Step 41, send O﹠amp to Old Serving GW; The M order.
When there is demand in operator, can pass through O﹠amp; M order as the load unloading command, sends to OldServing GW, requires it to unload load on it, can carry indication in the order, requires unloading all load or sub-load.
Step 42, Old Serving GW send the reorientation indication to all MME and the SGSN of its connection, and the load that requires MME and SGSN will be connected to Serving GW reduces.
Step 43, MME or SGSN send beep-page message to eNodeB or UTRAN.
MME or SGSN send beep-page message for being in idle condition and having activated the UE of ISR in eNodeB or UTRAN.
Step 44, eNodeB or UTRAN send beep-page message to UE.
Step 45, MME or SGSN receive the page response of UE.
Step 46, after MME or SGSN receive the page response of UE, at the ISR of this intranodal deexcitation UE.
Step 47-48, MME send deexcitation ISR indication to SGSN or SGSN to MME, return deexcitation ISR behind the deexcitation ISR and confirm.
In this process, MME or SGSN send deexcitation ISR indication to ISR associated the other side SGSN or MME, and this indication can also can be included in other S3 interface message separately as a message.
And after SGSN or MME received the deexcitation ISR indication that the other side's node sends, the ISR of the relevant UE of deexcitation upgraded or deletion UE context.
The MME of step 49, page response or SGSN carry out Serving GW reuse adoption process.
Concrete, in the step 49, can comprise:
1), MME carries out the Serving GW reuse adoption process by Service Request message trigger.
, can carry out the reuse adoption process of Serving GW when thereby the UE of inactive I SR enters state of activation when triggering the transmission of Service Request message from idle condition.When Service Request message sent to MME, MME can provide former promising UE the Serving GW gravity treatment of service to be another Serving GW under the situation of known Serving GW overload.
2), the mode one of the Serving GW reuse adoption process of SGSN execution.
3), the mode two of the Serving GW reuse adoption process of SGSN execution.
As shown in Figure 5, mode one implementing procedure of the Serving GW reuse adoption process of SGSN execution is as follows:
Step 51, SGSN send Detach message to UE.
When SGSN receive activated ISR and needed the page response of UE of gravity treatment Serving GW after, send Detach message to UE, the type that wherein comprises is designated as: adhere to again.
Step 52, UE initiate the execution of Attach process, and SGSN provides the Serving GW of service for UE reselects.
As shown in Figure 6, mode two implementing procedures of the Serving GW reuse adoption process of SGSN execution are as follows:
Step 61, SGSN send the Re-RAU indication to UE.
When SGSN receive activated ISR and needed the page response of UE of gravity treatment Serving GW after, send a NAS message to UE, its content re-executes the RAU process for requiring UE.
Step 62, UE initiate the execution of RAU process, and SGSN provides the Serving GW of service for UE reselects.
