A kind of method and device of in LTE, striding the PLMN switching
Technical field
The present invention relates to the communications field, is a kind of method and device that PLMN switches of striding in LTE concretely.
Background technology
At present in 3GPP (third generation partner program), each active research LTE of manufacturer (Long TermEvolved long-term evolving network)/SAE (System Architecture Evolved System Architecture Evolution network), the purpose of LTE provides a kind of network cheaply that can reduce time delay, raising user data rate, improved power system capacity and covering, use PS (grouping) territory business, bearer network all is the IP carrying.
Generally in the LTE system, the network of an operator (is called Public Land Mobile Network again, Public Land Mobile Network, PLMN) be divided into two parts of core net and Access Network, core network node is by Mobility Management Entity (MME:Mobility Management Entity), gateway (S-GW:Serving Gateway), grouped data network gateway formations such as (P-GW:PDN Gateway), and access network nodes is made up of evolution base station (eNodeB:Evolved NodeB).In the selection/handoff procedure that carries out PLMN, related network node is MME and eNodeB.In order to save the networking cost, realize rationally sharing of Internet resources, the core network node of different operators can share radio access network, specifically, the network node (as eNodeB) of wireless access network not only can be shared by different operators, and can share wireless access resource (as bandwidth, frequency etc.), Here it is multi-operator core network technology of sharing MOCN (Multi-Operator Core Network).
In addition, not only can share wireless network (RAN:Radio AccessNetwork) resource between the different operators, even can share the all-network resource that comprises core network (CN:Core Network) resource, this technology of sharing is called as gateway core network technology of sharing GWCN (GatewayCore Network).
When UE does not carry out network attachment or adheres to until old MME again or be attached under the new situations such as MME, can carry out attachment flow, thereby make UE can use the network service and make network can provide service to UE.
In the LTE/SAE network, the UE that is in connection status enters into the control area of another one target eNode B (Target eNodeB) from a source eNodeB (Source eNodeB) control area, and MME need carry out the switching of the control signaling and the transmission data of X2 interface when not changing.The handoff procedure of X2 interface is divided into handoff preparation phase, handover execution stage and switching and finishes stages three part.Handoff preparation phase mainly is to finish the selection of sub-district/target eNode B, and on target eNode B, carry out resource reservation, in this process, source eNodeB sends measuring command to UE, comprise the Neighboring Cell List that needs UE to measure in this measuring command, the UE return measurement is reported source eNodeB, in the measurement report that source eNodeB provides according to UE about information such as the signal strength signal intensities of neighbor cell and based on the local configuration information of operator, for selecting a target eNode B, UE switches, and send switching command to target eNode B, make target eNode B remain for the resource of switching in advance; Handover execution stage is finished the handoff procedure of eating dishes without rice or wine, and comprises that UE is that UE distributes access channel etc. to synchronous, the Target cell of Target cell; What switch that the stage of finishing mainly carries out is the handoff procedure of the carrying of core net, comprises the renewal process of the beared information that the foundation of the up-downgoing carrying of target eNode B to the S-GW and S-GW initiate to P-GW etc.
When the UE that is in connection status enters into the control area of another one target eNode B from eNodeB control area, a source, if MME changes or the situation of X2 handoff failure under, need carry out the switching of the control signaling and the transmission data of S1 interface.The switching of S1 interface also is divided into handoff preparation phase, handover execution stage and switching and finishes stages three part.Handoff preparation phase of this flow process and X2 switch similar, mainly are the selections (comprising the selection of RAN side gusset eNodeB and/or CN side gusset MME) of carrying out target network node, and carry out the reservation of resource at objective network; The function that handover execution stage and the switching stage of finishing carries out is also switched similar with X2.
