How describe the embodiment of the invention in detail below in conjunction with accompanying drawing realizes.
Referring to Fig. 1, a kind of periodic location region updating method that the embodiment of the invention provides comprises step:
S101, when being arranged in user terminal UE that first wireless access type (following represent with RAT 1) system ISR function activated when connection status enters idle condition, described UE starts period 1 property location area updating timer (following represent with RAT1-PTimer).
S102, when first user mobile control management entity in described RAT 1 system (following represent) with UEMCME 1 when connection status enters idle condition, start first user's accessibility timer (following represent) after postponing a period of time with RAT1-RTimer;
Wherein, described RAT1-PTimer is identical with the timing value of described RAT1-RTimer.
S103, by described RAT1-PTimer and described RAT1-RTimer control cycle location area updating.
Step S103 specifically comprises: behind the RAT1-PTimer timer expiry that moves among the UE, and UE start-up period location area updating process, promptly UE sends the location area updating request message to user mobile control management entity, and the indication updating type is for periodically updating.During the RAT1-RTimer timer expiry that moves in user mobile control management entity, then user mobile control management entity judges that UE does not have execution cycle property location area updating, and further judging whether then can this UE of attachment removal.
Because embodiment of the invention RAT1-RTimer is set to identical value with the timing value of RAT1-PTimer, but always a period of time in evening starts RAT1-RTimer to user mobile control management entity, thereby guarantee that user mobile control management entity is always received the periodical location area update inquiry information that UE sends before RAT1-RTimer is overtime under normal situation.
Provide the detailed description of the embodiment of the invention below.
UE enters idle condition in any one RAT (RAT 1) system from connection status, this moment UE start-up period location area updating timer (RAT1-PTimer), the user mobile control management entity of RAT 1 system (UEMCME 1) is when connection status enters idle condition, a little a little later the time (RAT1-DelayTime) starts user's accessibility timer (RAT1-RTimer), and is more overtime than the late a little RAT1-DelayTime of RAT1-PTimer to guarantee RAT1-RTimer.And under same RAT system, user's accessibility timer and periodical location area upgrade the timing value of timer must be identical, and promptly the value of RAT1-RTimer equals the value of RAT1-PTimer.
When user mobile control management entity entered idle condition from connection status, the occurrence of the delay time RAT1-DelayTime of delay start user accessibility timer can be set by operator.Default value can be the difference of the periodicity Routing Area Update timer of the user's accessibility timer of SGSN in traditional 2G/3G system and UE.
More overtime than the late RAT1-DelayTime of RAT1-PTimer in order to guarantee RAT1-RTimer, the embodiment of the invention provides following two kinds of implementation methods:
First kind: realize by timer.
When UEMCME 1 when connection status enters idle condition, UEMCME1 starts a back off timer (RAT1-DelayTimer), its timing value is RAT1-DelayTime, after RAT1-DelayTimer is overtime, UEMCME1 restarts RAT1-RTimer, follow-up overtime when restarting RAT1-Timer, use identical timing value.
Second kind: the timing value when starting by the first time that changes RAT1-RTimer is realized.
If the timing value of RAT1-RTimer and RAT1-PTimer is RAT1-Time, when UEMCME1 when connection status enters idle condition, UEMCME1 starts (starting for the first time) RAT1-RTimer immediately, but that its timing value is set to RAT1-Time and RAT1-DelayTime and (being RAT1-Time+RAT1-DelayTime), but after RAT1-RTimer is overtime, when UEMCME 1 started RAT1-RTimer once more, then the timing value according to RAT1-Time carried out timing.That is to say, after UEMCME 1 entered idle condition from connection status, during the RAT1-Timer of the startup first time, the timing value of use was (RAT1-Time+RAT1-DelayTime), follow-up overtime when restarting RAT1-Timer, the timing value that uses is RAT1-Time.
In traditional 2G/3G system, when UE enters another route district, and after carrying out general Routing Area Update process, UE and another SGSN have entered connection status, and this moment, UE should stop primitive period Routing Area Update timer (RAT1-PTimer).But for the situation that the ISR of UE activates, this routing region updating method is no longer suitable, and the embodiment of the invention proposes:
When UE enters another different RAT (representing with RAT 2) system from a RAT (representing with RAT 1) system, and when entering connection status, periodical location area under RAT 1 among the UE (former RAT) system upgrades timer RAT1-PTimer and continues operation, and does not stop; Equally, the user's accessibility timer RAT1-RTimer among the UEMCME 1 also continues operation, and does not stop.
When UE enters the band of position with the RAT1 same type, and when carrying out entering idle condition after the general position district upgrades, UE start-up period location area updating timer RAT1-PTimer, start user's accessibility behind the new user mobile control management entity time-delay RAT1-DelayTime and regularly upgrade timer RAT1-RTimer, and, the timer value that this RAT1-RTimer adopts new user mobile control management entity to distribute.
To sum up, behind the ISR of UE function activation, and UE is when all being in idle condition in RAT1 system and RAT2 system, and UE has moved two periodical location areas and upgraded timer RAT1-PTimer and RAT2-PTimer; Simultaneously, UEMCME 1 and UEMCME 2 have moved RAT1-RTimer and RAT2-RTimer respectively.
If the access technology that RAT 2 systems are adopted is Release 8 (not comprising Release a 8) 3GPP access technology before, then when UE after entering connection status under RAT 2 systems, the periodical location area that UE stops under RAT 1 system upgrades timer RAT1-PTimer, and deletes this periodical location area and upgrade timer RAT1-PTimer or identify this periodical location area that to upgrade timer RAT1-PTimer invalid.
When UE is identified as attachment removal or its context (Context) is deleted under a RAT system, then to upgrade timer invalid or deleted for the periodical location area of UE under this RAT system; When user mobile control management entity is designated attachment removal or deletion UE Context with UE, then in this user mobile control management entity user's accessibility of this UE correspondence regularly to upgrade timer invalid or deleted.
For example, when UE identifies its attachment removal under the E-UTRAN system, then the periodicity tracing section updating timer of this UE under the E-UTRAN system deleted or be identified as invalid; This UE of sign is that the Context of attachment removal or this UE is deleted in MME, then user's accessibility timer of this UE correspondence deleted or be identified as invalid.
In the tracing section updating that in the TS23.401v8.1.0 standard, defines (TAU) process, the ISR function that MME accepts (Tracking Area Update Accept) " ISR " parametric representation UE that message comprised at the tracing section updating that sends to UE has been activated, promptly indicate its temporary transient mobile user identification (P-TMSI that divides into groups of UE, Packet Temporary Mobile Station Identity) and Routing Area Identifier (RAI, RoutingArea Identity) still keep being registered on the network, and still effective in UE.Because the UE that prior art proposes after the ISR of UE activates has the timer that periodically updates of two isolated operations to be respectively applied for triggering renewal MME and SGSN individually.Therefore, the embodiment of the invention proposes:
After UE receives that in the R8 system location area updating of the user mobile control management entity transmission under current RAT (representing with the RAT 2) system is accepted message, if the periodical location area of UE under another RAT (representing with RAT 1) system upgrades timer effective (promptly not deleted or be designated invalid), and, if this timer has started operation, then continue to move and restart again after need not to reset, be that the timing value of the timer under the current RAT system is only controlled the timer under the current RAT system, and irrelevant with the timer under another RAT system.When UE entered idle condition, the periodical location area that the user mobile control management entity of UE and current RAT starts respectively under the current RAT system upgraded timer and delayed startup user accessibility timer.That is to say, after UE receives that in the R8 system location area updating of the user mobile control management entity transmission of RAT 2 is accepted message, if it is effective that the periodical location area of UE under RAT 1 upgrades timer RAT1-PTimer, and if this timer RAT1-PTimer has started operation, then continuation moves and restarts after need not to reset again; And when UE entered idle condition under RAT 2 systems, the periodical location area that UE starts under the RAT 2 upgraded timer (representing with RAT2-PTimer), the user's accessibility timer (representing with RAT2-RTimer) under the UEMCME 2 delayed startup RAT 2.
