A kind of relaying changing method that the embodiment of the invention two proposes, this method is applicable to is introducing RN (Relay Node, via node) in the network architecture after, a kind of RN network architecture afterwards of in the LTE-A system, introducing as shown in Figure 2, wherein, RN is linked into core net by the donor under the eNB (service) cell (sub-district); Need to prove, RN is as the via node under the eNB, can regard the sub-district under this eNB as, for this RN, this eNB is DeNB, and the interface between this DeNB and the RN is wireless Un mouth, wherein, do not have direct wave point between this RN and the core net, each RN can control one or more sub-districts, and each eNB can control and manage one or more RN.In the embodiment of the invention, need set up the X2 interface between RN and the DeNB, the X2 interface of this foundation is based on that as shown in Figure 3 the protocol stack architecture that comprises RN creates, and this protocol stack architecture is the chain of command protocol stack between RN, RN and DeNB and RN and other eNB.
In the application of reality, (need to prove, be connected by the S1 interface between core net and the eNB, connect by X2 interface between the eNB based on networking situation shown in Figure 4, be connected by the Un interface between RN and the eNB, be connected by the Uu interface between UE and the RN); Wherein, will there be seven kinds of different switch instances in UE (user terminal) when moving (for example, moving from left to right).(1) user terminal switches to another base station eNB 2 by base station eNB 1, and at this moment, source node and destination node are the base station; (2) user terminal switches to relaying RN1 or RN2 under the eNB1 by base station eNB 1, and at this moment, source node is the base station, and destination node is a relaying; (3) user terminal switches to base station eNB 1 by relaying RN1 or RN2 under the base station eNB 1, and at this moment, source node is a relaying, and destination node is the base station; (4) user terminal switches to the relaying RN2 that is under the jurisdiction of same base station by relaying RN1, and at this moment, source node and destination node are relaying; (5) user terminal switches to relaying RN3 or RN4 under another base station eNB 2 by base station eNB 1, and at this moment, source node is the base station, and destination node is a relaying; (6) user terminal switches to another base station eNB 2 by relaying RN1 or RN2 under the base station eNB 1, and at this moment, source node is a relaying, and destination node is the base station; (7) user terminal switches to relaying RN3 or RN4 under another base station eNB 2 by relaying RN1 under the base station eNB 1 or RN2, and at this moment, source node and destination node are relaying.Owing to do not define the DeNB handoff procedure of the Intra of LTE-A system in the existing 3GPP standard, it is the DeNB handoff procedure that to describe the Intra of LTE-A system in the embodiment of the invention respectively, this Intra handoff procedure (for example corresponds respectively to the 2nd kind of above-mentioned situation, eNB1 switches to RN1 or RN2), the 3rd kind of situation (for example, RN1 switches to eNB1), the 4th kind of situation (for example, RN1 switches to RN2).The embodiment of the invention will be described user terminal in detail from the processing procedure of RN when eNB switches, and as shown in Figure 5, above-mentioned relaying changing method may further comprise the steps:
Step 501, source RN gets access to HO (handover switches) decision (decision) information.Wherein, the embodiment of the invention switches to example with RN to eNB and describes, as shown in Figure 4, this source RN is that example describes with RN1, then this eNB is eNB1, because the embodiment of the invention is the DeNB handoff procedure of the Intra of LTE-A system, then this eNB1 is the service DeNB1 of this RN1.In this step, when UE need be when RN1 switches to DeNB1, then RN1 will get access to HO decision.
Step 502, RN1 sends HO request (request) message according to the measurement report of this UE to DeNB1.Wherein, knowing as RN1 need be when DeNB1 switches, and this RN1 need send HO request message to DeNB1.Need to prove, the measurement report of this UE is a defined in the existing protocol, in mobile communication system, because mobility or the other reasons of UE, communication system requires UE to switch between neighbor cell, and in order to realize the switching between neighbor cell, the signal quality of UE palpus perception may becoming sub-district of switching target before switching, and UE need report network equipment in the mode of measurement report (MEASURENET REPORT) with the result of coincidence measurement standard, make the decision-making of switching for system, do not repeat them here.
Step 503, DeNB1 resolves the Target cell ID in this HO request message, and returns HO request ACK (affirmation) information to RN1.
Wherein, the information of having carried Target cell ID in this HO request message, this DeNB1 is by obtaining the information of this Target cell ID, thereby know whether this Target cell is the sub-district of self-management, when this Target cell is the sub-district of self-management, for this Target cell is done corresponding resource reservation; When this Target cell was not the sub-district of this DeNB1 management, this situation was not described in detail.
Need to prove, when Target cell is the sub-district of DeNB1 management, this DeNB 1 need reserve corresponding resource for this Target cell, for example, when Target cell needs the resource of 10M, this DeNB1 need reserve the resource that is not less than 10M for this Target cell, so that the transmission of carrying out data that the UE under the Target cell can be correct.
In this step, this HO request ACK information is used for confirming to have received HO request message from this RN1 to RN1.
Step 504, RN1 sends RRC (Radio Resource Control, Radio Resource control) Reconfiguration (reconfiguring) message to UE.Wherein, RRC is used to handle the 3rd layer of information of control plane between UE and the network equipment, comprises that RRC connects, RRC reconfigures, RRC keeps and processes such as RRC release.
In this step, since before UE set up RRC with this RN1 and be connected, and UE need switch to DeNB1 in the embodiment of the invention, be that UE needs to rebulid RRC with DeNB1 and is connected, at this moment, RN1 is by sending RRC Reconfiguration message to UE, set up RRC with DeNB 1 and be connected thereby trigger this UE.
Step 505, UE sends RRC Reconfiguration (reconfiguring) Complete (finishing) message to DeNB 1, promptly UE is linked into DeNB1, set up with DeNB1 between RRC be connected.
Step 506, DeNB1 judges whether and need send Path (path) Switch (switching) Request message to MME (Mobile Management Entity, mobile management entity).Wherein, this MME is the network element in the core net.
In the embodiment of the invention, this DeNB1 need judge whether to switch into the sub-district under the same DeNB according to cell-of-origin ID that carries in the HO request message and Target cell ID, when cell-of-origin ID and Target cell ID belong to same DeNB, be that switch the sub-district under the same DeNB promptly; When cell-of-origin ID and Target cell ID do not belong to same DeNB, be that switch the sub-district under the different DeNB, this situation no longer encyclopaedizes.
Need to prove, in above-mentioned steps 503, got access to the DeNB under the Target cell, in this step, this DeNB1 can get access to the DeNB under the cell-of-origin according to the cell-of-origin ID in the RRC context that carries in the HO request message, thereby whether the DeNB that judges under the Target cell is identical with DeNB under the cell-of-origin.
Further, when being sub-district under the same DeNB when switching, DeNB1 will judge whether and need send Path Switch Request message to MME that this deterministic process specifically comprises:
DeNB1 judges whether the cell-of-origin requested resource can all be admitted by DeNB1;
When the cell-of-origin requested resource can all be admitted by DeNB1, DeNB1 did not need to send Path Switch Request message to MME, does not promptly need to initiate the routing update process to core net;
Otherwise DeNB1 need send Path Switch Request message to MME, promptly needs to initiate the routing update process to core net.
Specify the above-mentioned situations of judging that whether the cell-of-origin requested resource can all be admitted by DeNB1 with a concrete example below, for example, cell-of-origin (UE is by these cell-of-origin transmission data) requested resource is a resource 1, resource 2 and resource 3 (be MME real-time pass through DeNB1 sends data from resource 1 to this cell-of-origin, the data of the data of resource 2 and resource 3), but in the application of reality, if DeNB1 is only when the cell-of-origin sends the data of the data of resource 1 and resource 2, show that then the cell-of-origin requested resource can not all be admitted by DeNB1, and this moment, MME was the data that send resource 1, the data of the data of resource 2 and resource 3, promptly the data of resource 3 are wasted.In the embodiment of the invention, DeNB1 makes MME send the data of resource 1 and the data of resource 2 by DeNB1 to the cell-of-origin by send Path Switch Request message to MME, thereby has saved the resource of system.Corresponding, if in the actual application, when DeNB1 sends the data of the data of data, resource 2 of resource 1 and resource 3 to the cell-of-origin, show that then the cell-of-origin requested resource can all be admitted by DeNB1, do not need this moment to send Path Switch Request message, do not repeat them here to MME.
Further, if DeNB1 need be when MME sends Path Switch Request message, this step also comprises:
Step 506a, DeNB1 sends Path Switch Request message to MME.
Step 506b, MME returns Path Switch Ack message to DeNB1, to upgrade the required resource in cell-of-origin.Wherein, described this renewal process in the above in the step 506 in detail, for example, after upgrading, MME only need send the data of resource 1 and the data of resource 2 (MME need send the data of resource 1, the data of resource 2 and the data of resource 3 to the cell-of-origin before upgrading) to the cell-of-origin, thereby has saved the resource of system.
Step 507, when UE was linked into this DeNB1, this DeNB1 sent UE context (context) release (release) message to RN1, was connected with the RRC of this UE thereby trigger this RN1 releasing.
Wherein, the inventive method can be adjusted each sequence of steps according to actual needs.
In embodiments of the present invention, by the handling process between the above-mentioned steps 501-step 507, can realize that promptly user terminal is switched to the relaying handoff procedure of this base station eNB by the relaying RN under the base station eNB, and switch the sub-district of above-mentioned relaying handoff procedure to be UE occur in Intra eNB, this handoff procedure is at EUTRAN (Evolved Universal Terrestrial Radio Access Network, the UMTS wireless access network of evolution) finishes in, when the cell-of-origin requested resource can all be admitted by DeNB, do not need to notify core net after switching is finished, reduced signaling traffic load core net.
Based on the above embodiments two, a kind of relaying changing method that the embodiment of the invention three proposes, this method is at the 2nd kind of above-mentioned situation, be that the embodiment of the invention will be described user terminal in detail from the processing procedure of eNB when RN switches, as shown in Figure 6, above-mentioned relaying changing method may further comprise the steps:
Step 601, eNB gets access to HO decision information.Wherein, the embodiment of the invention switches to example with eNB to RN and describes, as shown in Figure 4, this eNB is that eNU1 is that example describes, this RN is that example describes with RN1, because the embodiment of the invention is the DeNB handoff procedure of the Intra of LTE-A system, then this eNB1 is the service DeNB1 of this RN1.
Step 602, DeNB1 sends HO request message according to the measurement report of this UE to RN1.
Step 603, RN1 resolves the Target cell ID in this HO request message, and returns HO requestACK information to DeNB1.

Step 708a, RN2 sends Path Switch Request message to DeNB1, wherein, needs to carry GUMMI information in this PathSwitch Request message, make this DeNB1 to carry out the MME addressing, i.e. address information of having carried MME in this GUMMI information according to this GUMMI information.Need to prove, by the method for in Path Switch Request message, carrying the address information of MME be equally applicable between eNB handoff procedure, switch to the handoff scenario of RN sub-district under the DeNB from other nodes (for example RN under other eNB or other eNB), this has increased above-mentioned as shown in table 1 of the pathswitch request message of GUMMI information, does not repeat them here.
What need further specify is, when RN1 sends Path Switch Request message to DeNB1, can also in this Path Switch Request message, carry the global unique identification of this MME address, carry out the addressing operation of MME according to this global unique identification, not repeat them here by DeNB1.
Step 708b, DeNB1 sends Path Switch Request message to MME, and wherein, this DeNB1 is according to being somebody's turn to do from the GUMMI information in the Path Switch Request message of RN2, know the address of this MME, and send Path Switch Request message to MME according to this address.
Step 708c, MME returns Path Switch Ack message to DeNB1.
Step 708d, DeNB1 returns Path Switch Ack message to RN2.
Step 709, when UE was linked into this RN2, this RN2 sent UE contextrelease message to DeNB 1.
Step 710, DeNB1 transmits UE context release message to RN1.Wherein, DeNB1 changes UE Context Release message according to the cell-of-origin id information that carries in this UE Context Release message at the Un of correspondence mouth before RN1.
Wherein, the inventive method can be adjusted each sequence of steps according to actual needs.
In embodiments of the present invention, by the handling process between the above-mentioned steps 701-step 710, can realize that promptly user terminal is switched to the relaying handoff procedure of another relaying RN under this base station eNB by the relaying RN under the base station eNB, and switch the sub-district of above-mentioned relaying handoff procedure to be UE occur in Intra eNB, this handoff procedure is finished in EUTRAN, when the cell-of-origin requested resource can all be admitted by DeNB, do not need to notify core net after switching is finished, reduced signaling traffic load core net.
The embodiment of the invention has also proposed a kind of relaying switched system, comprises source node and destination node, wherein:
Source node is used for sending handoff request message between destination node when the sub-district switching takes place UE, has carried the information of cell-of-origin and the information of Target cell in the described handoff request message;
Destination node is used for when described Target cell is the sub-district of described destination node management, for described Target cell is reserved corresponding resource; Be RN and need when core net is initiated the path switching process,, carry the global unique identification of described core net in the described path switching request message at described destination node to described core net transmit path switching request message; Or described destination node is not initiated the path switching process to described core net.
Further, described destination node also is used for judging whether to switch into the sub-district under the same eNB according to cell-of-origin information and target cell information; When judged result when being, judge whether the cell-of-origin requested resource can be by self whole admittance; And when judged result when being, determining does not need to initiate the path switching process to core net; Otherwise, determine and need initiate the path switching process to core net.
Need to prove that described UE the sub-district switching takes place is specially described UE in the generation sub-district switching of eNB inside, the sub-district switching of the inner generation of described eNB specifically comprises: described UE switches to eNB from RN, and described source node is RN, and described destination node is eNB; Described UE switches to RN from eNB, and described source node is eNB, and described destination node is RN; Described UE switches to the 2nd RN from a RN, and described source node is a RN, and described destination node is the 2nd RN, and a described RN and described the 2nd RN belong to same eNB.
