The present invention handles the contextual method embodiment of UE and comprises:
Steps A: ANDSF receives the deletion Indication message after the UE state changes.Wherein, the deletion Indication message can change the back at state by UE and send to ANDSF, perhaps can be by ANDSF self-generating after the response that does not receive UE, (specifically can referring to following method embodiment one), perhaps can learn that the UE state changes the back and sends (specifically can referring to following method embodiment two) to ANDSF by Wireless Communication Equipment.
Step B:ANDSF is according to the described deletion Indication message deletion UE context corresponding with described UE.
Below by the drawings and specific embodiments, technical scheme of the present invention is described in further detail.
Referring to Fig. 1, the schematic network structure for the method embodiment one of processing user equipment context of the present invention provides comprises: belong to subscriber equipment UE11, belong to the ANDSF12 of operator's equipment.UE11 is connected to ANDSF by the IP tunnel that 3GPP access way or credible and incredible non-3GPP access way provide.Reference point interface between UE and the ANDSF is S14, and ANDSF can also be connected to non-3 GPP access network network, information such as the load condition of collection network by the S15 interface.UE can carry out the network switching according to Access Network information and the switchover policy that ANDSF sends.
Referring to Fig. 2,, comprising for carry out the schematic flow sheet that network switches by network configuration shown in Figure 1:
Step 21:UE is connected to an IP access network, obtains the IP address and sets up IP tunnel.This IP access network can be the 3GPP network, and as the EPS network, perhaps this IP access network is non-3GPP network, as WiMax/WLAN network etc.
Step 22:UE obtains the IP address of ANDSF.
Step 23:UE sends the Access Network information request message according to this IP address to ANDSF.
Step 24:ANDSF sends the Access Network info response message that comprises Access Network information and switchover policy to UE.
Step 25:UE carries out access network selection and handover decisions according to this Access Network information and switchover policy.
When the handover decisions condition of step 26:UE satisfied, UE carried out internetwork switching.
According to the principle that network is found and selected, ANDSF can answer the request of UE to send data to UE as mentioned above, can also initiatively send data to UE, after changing at switchover policy, and ANDSF proactive notification UE.At ANDSF are IP addresses according to UE when UE sends data, therefore record the IP address of UE in the UE of ANDSF context.Because the IP address of UE is a dynamic assignment, after the UE state changes, connect release from net or IP as UE, network may be given the IP address assignment of writing down among the ANDSF other UE.If ANDSF is according to the IP address transmission data that writes down in the original UE context, because this IP address has been distributed to another UE probably, so the problem that causes data to be sent out by mistake probably.Simultaneously, discharge because original UE has connected from net or IP, its corresponding UE context is just invalid, and these invalid overabundance of datas of storing in the ANDSF need be after the UE state changes, in time the context of the UE that changes of deletion state.
Referring to Fig. 3, be the schematic flow sheet of the method embodiment one of processing user equipment context of the present invention, this embodiment is need be when UE sends data, according to the feedback deletion UE context of UE at ANDSF.This embodiment comprises:
Step 31:ANDSF sends Access Network information updating message to the UE of the IP address of its record indication, carries the UE sign in the described Access Network information updating message.
Step 35: this UE judges whether the UE sign that receives is identical with the UE sign of record, if, execution in step 36; If not, indication ANDSF deletes the corresponding UE context of UE sign its record and described reception.
Step 36:UE sends Access Network information updating response message to ANDSF, and indication ANDSF upgrades successfully.Be that the UE state does not feed back according to existing procedure when changing.
Wherein, the obtaining and write down and can adopt following method of customer equipment identification:

Step 41:UE sends the Access Network information request message to ANDSF, carries the UE sign in this Access Network information request message.This UE sign can be the permanent identification of UE, as international mobile subscriber identity (International Mobile Subscriber Identity, IMSI), travelling carriage integrated services digital network number (Mobile Station Integrated Services Digital Network, MSISDN), network access Identifier (Network Access Identifier, NAI) etc., perhaps this UE sign also can be the temporary mark of Access Network distribution, as global unique temporary identity (Globally UniqueTemporary Identity, GUTI), the grouping Temporary Mobile Station Identity (Packet Temporary MobileStation Identity, P-TMSI) etc.
The UE sign that step 42:ANDSF record UE provides sends the Access Network info response message to UE.
Referring to Fig. 5, for the method embodiment one of processing user equipment context of the present invention obtains the schematic flow sheet of the method two of customer equipment identification, this method provides customer equipment identification by ANDSF, comprising:
Step 51:UE sends the Access Network information request message to ANDSF.
Step 52:ANDSF writes down this UE sign, as is recorded in the UE context corresponding with this UE for this UE distributes a unique UE sign.
Step 53:ANDSF sends the Access Network info response message to UE, carries the UE sign that ANDSF distributes in this Access Network info response message.
After step 54:UE received this Access Network info response message, the ANDSF that record wherein carries was the UE sign that UE distributes.
Wherein, the indication ANDSF deletion UE context corresponding with the UE sign of described reception can specifically comprise:
Step 391:UE sends the wrong deletion Indication message of indication UE sign or abandons described Access Network information updating message to ANDSF.If directly abandon described Access Network information updating message, ANDSF will can not receive response message that should Access Network information updating message, and ANDSF is not if receive response in Preset Time, then self-generating deletion Indication message.
UE context among the step 392:ANDSF deletion ANDSF.ANDSF can delete corresponding UE context behind the deletion Indication message that receives described indication customer equipment identification mistake, perhaps, ANDSF can also delete corresponding UE context according to the deletion Indication message of self-generating after not receiving Access Network information updating response message.
Above-mentioned flow process shows packet and the UE support ANDSF function that correctly receives the ANDSF transmission as UE, when just the IP address of this UE may be assigned to another UE, and the method that ANDSF handles the UE context.Owing to also may exist UE not support the ANDSF function maybe may correctly not receive the problem of packet, so this embodiment can further include after step 31:
Step 32:UE judges whether the purpose IP address of carrying in the Access Network information updating message is its own IP address, if, execution in step 33; If not, execution in step 34.Owing to communicate by IP tunnel between UE and the ANDSF, so also carry purpose IP address in this Access Network information updating message.
Step 33:UE judges whether to discern described Access Network information updating message, if, execution in step 35, if not, execution in step 34.
Step 34:UE abandons described Access Network information updating message, so ANDSF can not receive Access Network information updating response message.Execution in step 392.
Simultaneously, in order to guarantee to delete the contextual promptness of invalid UE, present embodiment can further include after step 36:
After step 37:ANDSF receives the successful Access Network information updating response message of indication renewal, upgrade the timestamp of its record.Can write down a timestamp in the UE context that writes down among the ANDSF, after receiving the successful Access Network information updating response message of above-mentioned indication renewal or receiving the UE request, upgrade the timestamp that writes down in the context of this UE, make current UE be in activated state.Simultaneously, can start one among this ANDSF, can judge the time that the UE context does not upgrade according to the timestamp that writes down in this timer and the UE context based on the timer of realizing.
Step 38: after the time that the UE context does not upgrade reaches a default threshold value, execution in step 392.
Present embodiment is by carrying customer equipment identification at ANDSF in the data that UE sends, whether the state that can determine UE according to this customer equipment identification changes, after the UE state changes, UE can make corresponding feedback to ANDSF, make ANDSF know that the UE state changes, and then making the invalid UE context of ANDSF deletion, the junk data of avoiding storing too much reaches the problem that sends data to the UE of mistake.And present embodiment is to carry out the judgement whether the UE state changes at ANDSF when UE sends data, is implemented in making ANDSF delete invalid UE context in time under the less situation of existing network change.
Referring to Fig. 6, the schematic network structure for the method embodiment two of processing user equipment context of the present invention provides comprises: belong to the UE11 of subscriber equipment, the ANDSF12 that belongs to operator's equipment and Wireless Communication Equipment 13.UE11 carries out information interaction by Wireless Communication Equipment 13 with ANDSF12.UE need be registered in the IP Access Network before carrying out alternately with ANDSF, obtained the IP address and set up an IP tunnel, and afterwards, UE utilizes this IP address and ANDSF to carry out alternately.ANDSF links to each other with Wireless Communication Equipment by IP network, as, if Wireless Communication Equipment is the Access Network gateway, ANDSF links to each other with the Access Network gateway by the S16 interface, if Wireless Communication Equipment is mobile management entity (MobilityManagement Entity, MME) or service universal grouping wireless business supporting node (ServingGeneral Packet Radio Service Support Node, SGSN), ANDSF links to each other with MME/SGSN by the S17 interface; And in Access Network inside, UE sets up two layers with Wireless Communication Equipment and is connected the transmission of IP data bag.Therefore when UE behind net or release IP address, Wireless Communication Equipment can perceive the state variation of this UE, thereby the change of this UE state can be notified to ANDSF.
Referring to Fig. 7, schematic flow sheet for the method embodiment two of processing user equipment context of the present invention, this embodiment is a Wireless Communication Equipment perceiving after the UE state changes, and this state variation is initiatively reported ANDSF, makes ANDSF according to this state variation that initiatively reports deletion UE context.This embodiment comprises:
Step 71: Wireless Communication Equipment sends the deletion Indication message to ANDSF after perceiving the change of UE state, carry the UE sign in the described deletion Indication message.This UE sign can be permanent identification (IMSI, MSISDN, NAI etc.), the temporary mark (GUTI, TMSI, IP address etc.) of UE.
Step 72:ANDSF deletion and the corresponding UE context of described UE sign.
Step 73:ANDSF upgrades response message to the Wireless Communication Equipment transmit status.It is optional that this state upgrades response message.
Produce because the deletion Indication message changes the back at the UE state, therefore, present embodiment may further include before step 71:
Step 70: after Wireless Communication Equipment perceives the change of UE state, delete Indication message to the ANDSF transmission according to the IP address of the ANDSF that writes down.
Wherein, because Wireless Communication Equipment need send described deletion Indication message to ANDSF, so Wireless Communication Equipment need write down the IP address of ANDSF.Can adopt following method to realize the IP address of Wireless Communication Equipment record ANDSF:
Referring to Fig. 8, write down the schematic flow sheet of the method one of ANDSF address for method embodiment two Wireless Communication Equipment of processing user equipment context of the present invention, Wireless Communication Equipment in this method is the Access Network gateway, and as P-GW, ASN-GW, PDG etc., this method comprises:
Step 81:UE sends the Access Network information request message to ANDSF, and this Access Network information request message is packaged into the two layer tunnel of IP packet by Access Network and sends to the Access Network gateway.Because this packet sends to ANDSF, so the destination address of this IP packet is the IP address of ANDSF.
Step 82: the Access Network gateway is resolved this packet and is obtained purpose IP address, this purpose IP address is recorded in the UE context of Access Network gateway record.
Step 83: the Access Network gateway sends to ANDSF with this Access Network information request message.
Said method is that Access Network is resolved the packet that UE sends to ANDSF, and the purpose IP address of writing down this packet alternately, also can be that Access Network is resolved ANDSF to the packet that UE sends, and writes down the source IP address of this packet.
Referring to Fig. 9, write down the schematic flow sheet of the method two of ANDSF address for method embodiment two Wireless Communication Equipment of processing user equipment context of the present invention, Wireless Communication Equipment in this method is the Access Network gateway, and as P-GW, ASN-GW, PDG etc., this method comprises:
Step 91:ANDSF sends the Access Network info response message to UE, and this Access Network info response message corresponding IP data bag is sent to the Access Network gateway earlier.Because the Access Network gateway is the Access Network router of UE, so this packet can be sent to the Access Network gateway earlier.And because this Access Network info response message sends to UE by ANDSF, so the source IP address of Access Network info response message corresponding IP data bag is the IP address of ANDSF, and purpose IP address is the IP address of UE.
Step 92: the Access Network gateway is resolved the packet of this Access Network info response message correspondence, obtains source IP address, this source IP address is recorded in the UE context of Access Network gateway record.
Step 93: the Access Network gateway sends to UE with this Access Network info response message.
Method shown in Fig. 8,9 is that the Access Network gateway is by resolving the IP address that interactive messages is obtained ANDSF between UE and the ANDSF.
Referring to Figure 10, write down the schematic flow sheet of the method three of ANDSF address for method embodiment two Wireless Communication Equipment of processing user equipment context of the present invention, Wireless Communication Equipment in this method is the Access Network gateway, and as P-GW, ASN-GW, PDG etc., this method comprises:
Step 101:UE sends Access Network information request message, the IP address of carrying the Access Network gateway of UE network of living in this Access Network information request message to ANDSF.
Step 102:ANDSF sends the Access Network info response message to UE, and Access Network information and switchover policy are sent to UE.
Step 103:ANDSF is according to the IP address of the Access Network gateway that carries in the Access Network information request message, sends login request message to the Access Network gateway, with the IP address registration of ANDSF in the Access Network gateway.Can carry the UE sign in this login request message, as permanent identification (IMSI, MSISDN, NAI etc.), the temporary mark (GUTI, TMSI, IP address etc.) of UE.The source IP address of this login request message IP packet can directly be used in the IP address of ANDSF, perhaps increases the IP address of independent cell record ANDSF in message body.
Step 104: the Access Network gateway is resolved the IP address that this login request message IP packet obtains ANDSF, and according to the UE context in the definite Access Network gateway of UE sign that carries in the login request message, thereby the IP address of ANDSF is recorded in this UE context.
Step 105: the Access Network gateway sends registration reply message to ANDSF.This registration reply message is optional.
Method shown in Figure 10 be ANDSF initiatively to the Access Network gateway registration, make the Access Network gateway obtain the IP address of ANDSF.
Wireless Communication Equipment in the method shown in Fig. 8,9,10 is the Access Network gateway, in the 3GPP network, ANDSF can also carry out alternately with MME/SGSN, as in the EPS network, ANDSF and MME are mutual, at GSM EDGE Radio Access Network (GSM EDGE Radio Access Network, GERAN) or Universal Terrestrial Radio Access Network (Universal Terrestrial Radio Access Network, UTRAN) packet-switched domain (Packet Switched, PS) in, ANDSF and SGSN are mutual.
Because MME/SGSN is the chain of command anchor point of UE in the 3GPP network, when UE during from net MME/SGSN can learn that the UE state changes the very first time, MME/SGSN also can initiatively initiate the operation of separates UE.From net or initiatively during separates UE, the IP address of the ANDSF by record sends the deletion Indication message to ANDSF to MME/SGSN at UE, and indication ANDSF deletes corresponding UE context.
Because ANDSF is deployed in the carrier network, so the IP address of ANDSF can be used as the part of subscription data, thereby can be pre-configured to be among the UE, also can be pre-configured to be among the HLR/HSS, can also directly be pre-configured to be among the MME/SGSN.Therefore, when UE was registered to the 3GPP network, MME/SGSN can adopt following mode to write down the IP address of ANDSF:
Mode one, UE send Attach Request message to MME/SGSN, carry the IP address of the ANDSF that is pre-configured to be among the UE in this Attach Request message; MME/SGSN is recorded in this IP address in the context of this UE.
After mode two, MME/SGSN receive the Attach Request message or location area updating request message of UE transmission, obtain the subscription data of this UE to HLR/HSS, carry the IP address of pre-configured ANDSF in this subscription data, this IP address is recorded in the context of UE.
After mode three, current MME/SGSN receive the Attach Request message or location area updating request message of UE transmission, to the IP address that the MME/SGSN of the previous registration of this UE obtains ANDSF pre-configured among the MME/SGSN of this previous registration, as the MME/SGSN of previous registration the IP address of the ANDSF in the UE context of its record is sent to current MME/SGSN, current MME/SGSN is recorded in this IP address in the context of UE.
The IP address of mode four, the direct pre-configured ANDSF of current MME/SGSN, when UE is registered to this MME/SGSN first, as after receiving Attach Request message or location area updating request message, current MME/SGSN records the IP address of pre-configured ANDSF in the context of this UE.
In the present embodiment, Wireless Communication Equipment sends the invalid contextual message of UE of indication deletion to ANDSF at once after perceiving the change of UE state, can make ANDSF that the UE state is changed to make rapidly and react, and makes ANDSF immediately delete invalid UE context.
