Embodiment
The embodiment of the invention can't confirm to be in the residence time of UE in the CSG sub-district of idle condition to network side; Thereby cause to carry out exactly UE the problem of control turn-on time as interim member in the CSG; Corresponding solution is provided, will have combined Figure of description to describe in detail below.
In the embodiment of the invention; Network side is used for that UE is carried out the functional entity unification that control turn-on time in the CSG sub-district is called mobility management apparatus; Mobility management apparatus can comprise MME, SGSN, the MSC in the core net; Also can comprise the femto gateway in the Access Network, Home eNodeB, or the like.The MSC that mentions in the embodiment of the invention is meant MSC and VLR (Visit Location Register, VLR Visitor Location Register), because VLR is common and MSC is arranged in same physical entity.Wherein, MSC (VLR) is the mobility management apparatus in the core net circuit domain, and SGSN is the mobility management apparatus in the core network packet-domain, and MME is one of mobility management apparatus in the core net after the 3GPP R8 version.
Embodiment one
Present embodiment proposes; Confirm in the current idle state process residence time in the corresponding CSG sub-district of CSG sign when UE is in idle condition and report mobility management apparatus; Mobility management apparatus carries out control turn-on time according to the residence time that UE reports to this UE; Thereby to UE is interim member's in the CSG situation, can carry out control turn-on time exactly to this UE.
Present embodiment provides a kind of residence time reporting method of UE in this CSG sub-district as interim member in the CSG, carries out in end side, certainly, can carry out this method equally as permanent member's in the CSG UE, and is as shown in Figure 1, comprises step:
S101, the UE that is in idle condition confirm the residence time in the corresponding CSG sub-district of CSG sign in the current idle state process;
S102, when finishing current idle condition and get into connection status, this UE reports CSG sign and corresponding residence time to mobility management apparatus;
When UE finishes current idle condition, get into connection status thereby need connect, UE can carry out NAS (Non Access Stratum, Non-Access Stratum) process, data service process or the like under connection status.In the practical implementation; UE can be at NAS (Non Access Stratum; Non-Access Stratum) report CSG sign and corresponding residence time to mobility management apparatus in the process, described NAS process can be band of position management process (TAU process, RAU process, LU process), DETACH (attachment removal) process; GUTI REALLOCATION (reshuffling) process; SERVICE REQUEST (services request) process, or the like, the CSG sign can be carried in the relevant signaling message with corresponding residence time and report mobility management apparatus.
Introduce the handling process of S101 in detail, specifically comprise the steps:
A, the UE that is in idle condition confirm in the current idle state process each time time span value resident in the CSG sub-district;
B, be in idle condition UE according to ought be last time the resident corresponding CSG sign in CSG sub-district, the time span value that ought last time determine is added to the corresponding parameter value that is used to write down residence time of this CSG sign, this parameter value can be represented with TE.
In the practical implementation, the initial value of TE is traditionally arranged to be 0, and then the end value of TE is residence time.Certainly the initial value of TE also can be set to any number, and the difference of the end value of TE and initial value is residence time so.Wherein, the end value of TE is meant in the current idle state process, and UE accomplishes after the adding up of each residence time length value, the TE value that finally obtains.
Need to prove; TE and CSG sign are one to one; TE is used to write down the residence time of UE in the corresponding CSG sub-district of CSG sign, and this residence time is UE resident time span of accumulative total in the corresponding CSG sub-district of this CSG sign in the current idle state process; The corresponding CSG sub-district of same CSG sign has a plurality of; Because in real network is disposed; Possible certain user has placed a plurality of Home eNodeB indoor; And for each Home eNodeB is provided with identical CSG, then the CSG of a plurality of Home eNodeB can use same CSG sign, and this situation that same CSG identifies corresponding a plurality of CSG sub-districts (home base station cells) just occurred.
In the practical implementation; UE can only report the residence time of in interim CSG sub-district of authorizing (UE is the interim member of this CSG sub-district); And do not report the residence time in permanent CSG sub-district (UE is the permanent member of this CSG sub-district) of authorizing; When then UE got into idle condition by connection status, the parameter value TE initialization that UE is used to write down residence time was set to 0; When UE in current idle state process; (for example the CSG sub-district 1 when inserting certain CSG sub-district of temporarily authorizing; Suppose that CSG sub-district 1 corresponding CSG is designated C001), UE starts a timer, and this timer is used to write down this time span value resident in CSG sub-district 1 of UE; When following incident took place, UE stopped timer, and the clocking value that obtains after timer stopped to be added to the corresponding TE1 of CSG sign C001, removed the clocking value of timer record then, and just the clocking value with timer record is re-set as 0.Concrete event can comprise:
Incident 1, UE finish current idle condition and get into connection status;
Incident 2, since district reselecting UE leave CSG sub-district 1, insert other sub-district.
Wherein, UE is because the macrocell that other sub-district that district reselecting inserted can provide for macro base station, non-CSG sub-district that other Home eNodeB provides, the CSG sub-district that also can provide for other Home eNodeB.To other sub-district is the situation of CSG sub-district, if UE is the interim member of this CSG, then need carry out adding up of residence time according to the method that present embodiment provides, if UE is the permanent member of this CSG, then can need not to carry out adding up of residence time.If it is C001 that the CSG sub-district 2 of the current access of UE has identical CSG sign with the CSG sub-district of leaving 1, the clocking value that obtains after then still this timer being stopped to be added to the corresponding TE1 of CSG sign C001, removes the clocking value of timer record then; If the CSG sub-district 2 of the current access of UE has different CSG signs with the CSG sub-district of leaving 1; The CSG that supposes CSG sub-district 2 is designated C002; The clocking value that obtains after then this timer being stopped to be added to the corresponding TE2 of CSG sign C002, removes the clocking value of timer record then.
In the practical implementation, when UE got into idle condition, the parameter value TE initialization that UE is used to write down residence time was set to 0; When UE in current idle state process; (for example the CSG sub-district 1 when inserting certain CSG sub-district; The CSG that supposes CSG sub-district 1 correspondence is designated C001), the UE record inserts first moment T1 of CSG sub-district 1, when above-mentioned incident 1 or incident 2 generations; Second T2 constantly that the UE recording events takes place, and with second constantly T2 with first constantly the difference T2-T1 of T1 be added to CSG and identify the corresponding TE1 of C001.
Preferable, write down the problem that the parameter value of residence time is lost in order to prevent corresponding being used to of CSG sign that the unexpected power down of UE possibly cause, the following solution of proposition in this enforcements comprises:
UE is stored in CSG sign in the current idle state process in the nonvolatile memory with the corresponding parameters value; And when the time span value of determining is added to certain CSG sign corresponding parameters value, in nonvolatile memory, upgrade this CSG sign corresponding parameters value synchronously;
Until finishing to delete the CSG sign and corresponding parameters value of storing in this nonvolatile memory when current idle condition gets into connection status, perhaps CSG sign corresponding parameters value in the nonvolatile memory is re-set as initial value.
Based on above-mentioned solution; When UE starts shooting; Indicate and the corresponding parameter value that is not equal to initial value if store CSG in the nonvolatile memory, then the CSG sign is reported mobility management apparatus with the corresponding residence time that parameter value write down that is not equal to initial value.
Accordingly, present embodiment also provides a kind of UE control method turn-on time in the CSG sub-district, carries out at network side, and is as shown in Figure 2, comprises step:
S201, mobility management apparatus receive CSG sign and the corresponding residence time that UE reports;
S202, mobility management apparatus judge that according to CSG sign and corresponding residence time whether the corresponding signatory permission residence time of CSG sign is greater than its corresponding residence time, if not, then carry out S203, if then carry out S204;
S203, the access authority of mobility management apparatus cancellation UE in the corresponding CSG sub-district of this CSG sign;
S204, mobility management apparatus use the corresponding signatory permission residence time of this CSG sign and the difference of its corresponding residence time, upgrade the corresponding signatory permission residence time of this CSG sign.
Need to prove; UE reports CSG sign and corresponding residence time to mobility management apparatus; Possibly there is untimely situation and produces hysteresis effect; The situation that " the CSG sign of mobility management apparatus place record corresponding signatory permission residence time less than this CSG sign corresponding residence time " therefore may occur, therefore insert authority decision rule and be:
" if the corresponding signatory permission residence time-CSG of CSG sign identify corresponding residence time≤0 " then mobility management apparatus is carried out following processing:
{ cancelling the access authority of this UE in the corresponding CSG sub-district of CSG sign }.
Based on same technical conceive, present embodiment provides a kind of UE, and is as shown in Figure 3, comprising:
Confirm unit 301, be used under idle condition, confirming the residence time of current idle state process in the corresponding CSG sub-district of CSG sign;
Report unit 302, be used for when the current idle condition of end gets into connection status, reporting CSG sign and corresponding residence time to mobility management apparatus.
Wherein, confirm that unit 301 specifically can comprise:
Confirm subelement 3011, be used under idle condition confirming and send current idle state process resident time span value in the CSG sub-district each time;
Subelement 3012 adds up; Be used to receive the time span value of confirming that subelement 3011 is determined each time; And according to ought be last time the resident corresponding CSG sign in CSG sub-district, the time span value that ought last time determine is added to the corresponding parameter value that is used to write down residence time of this CSG sign.
In the practical implementation, as shown in Figure 4, this UE can also comprise:
Nonvolatile memory 401 is used for storing current idle state process CSG sign and corresponding parameters value;
Updating block 402 is used for when the time span value of determining is added to certain CSG sign corresponding parameters value, in nonvolatile memory 401, upgrading this CSG sign corresponding parameters value synchronously synchronously;
Delete cells 403; Be used for when the CSG sign and corresponding parameters value that finish to delete when current idle condition gets into connection status nonvolatile memory 401 storages, perhaps CSG sign corresponding parameters value in the nonvolatile memory 401 be re-set as initial value.
In the practical implementation, this UE can also comprise:
Processing unit 404; Be used for when start; If store CSG sign and the corresponding parameter value that is not equal to initial value in the nonvolatile memory 401, then the CSG sign is reported mobility management apparatus with the corresponding residence time that parameter value write down that is not equal to initial value.
Accordingly, present embodiment also provides a kind of mobility management apparatus, and is as shown in Figure 5, comprising:
Receiving element 501 is used to receive CSG sign and the corresponding residence time that UE reports;
Administrative unit 502 is used for according to this CSG sign and corresponding residence time, when confirming that the corresponding signatory permission residence time of CSG sign is not more than its corresponding residence time, and the access authority of cancellation UE in the corresponding CSG sub-district of this CSG sign.
Preferable; Administrative unit 502; Also be used for according to this CSG sign and corresponding residence time; When confirming the corresponding signatory permission residence time of CSG sign, use this signatory permission residence time and the difference of residence time to upgrade the corresponding signatory permission residence time of this CSG sign greater than its corresponding residence time.
The residence time reporting method of the UE that present embodiment provides in the CSG sub-district; The UE that is in idle condition confirms the residence time in the corresponding CSG sub-district of CSG sign in the current idle state process, and the CSG sign is reported mobility management apparatus with corresponding residence time.This programme has solved the problem that network side can't confirm to be in the residence time of UE in the CSG sub-district of idle condition; The UE that has realized being in idle condition in end side accurately the confirming and report of residence time in the CSG sub-district carried out control turn-on time for network side necessary residence time parameter is provided.
The turn-on time control method of the UE that present embodiment provides in the CSG sub-district, mobility management apparatus receive CSG sign and corresponding residence time, and according to CSG sign and corresponding residence time UE are carried out control turn-on time in the CSG sub-district.This programme has promoted network side and UE has been carried out the accuracy of controlling turn-on time.
