In X2 config update process, RN receives and preserves the X2 interface indication information from described base station equipment, specifically comprise: RN receives the Node B configuration update message from described base station equipment, in the Neighbour Information IE in described Node B configuration update message, carry and the neighbor cell of described RN between X2 interface indication information; In the adjacent cell information of the more described base station equipment of RN, whether there is the neighbor cell of described RN, if had, will preserve described X2 interface indication information; If no, confirm do not have X2 interface to connect between described base station equipment and the neighbor cell of described RN.
Before RN receives and preserves the X2 interface indication information from described base station equipment, also comprise: base station equipment is transmitted the information that whether has X2 interface between described base station equipment and the neighbor cell of described RN to described RN, according to the X2 from described RN, set up the information of adjacent cells that the Neighbour Information IE carrying in request message or Node B configuration update message obtains described RN; When the adjacent cell information of described RN changes, described base station equipment triggers X2-AP process.
Base station equipment is according to setting up from the X2 of described RN after the Neighbour Information IE carrying in request message or Node B configuration update message obtains the information of adjacent cells of described RN, also comprise: if there is the neighbor cell of described RN in the community that exists X2 interface to be connected with described base station equipment, in the Neighbour Information IE of described base station equipment in the upper Node B configuration update message that once sends to described RN, carry adjacent cell information and the X2 interface indication information of described RN.
Base station equipment is according to setting up from the X2 of described RN after the Neighbour Information IE carrying in request message or Node B configuration update message obtains the information of adjacent cells of described RN, also comprise: if do not have X2 interface to connect between described base station equipment and the neighbor cell of described RN, described base station equipment is obtained the transport layer address of the neighbor cell of described RN, initiates X2 interface connect foundation to the neighbor cell of described RN.
Step 302, when the subscriber equipment under RN switches, RN judges between self base station equipment at place and the neighbor cell of RN whether have X2 interface according to X2 interface indication information, if existed, performs step 303; If there is no, perform step 304.
Step 303, RN initiates X2 and switches.
Step 304, RN initiates S1 and switches.
The technical scheme of the embodiment of the present invention has the following advantages, because when UE switches, RN determines how to initiate handoff procedure according to the X2 interface indication information between base station equipment and the neighbor cell of RN, has improved the success rate of switching.
As shown in Figure 4, a kind of method flow diagram of initiating switching in the embodiment of the present invention two, comprises the following steps:
Step 401, RN sends X2SETUP REQUEST (X2 sets up request) message to DeNB.
Step 402, DeNB returns to X2SETUP RESPONSE (X2 sets up response) message to RN.
Wherein, X2SETUP RESPONSE message format, as shown in table 1, in the Neighbour Information IE of DeNB in X2SETUPRESPONSE message, carry and the neighbor cell of RN between X2 interface indication information.
Table 1X2SETUP RESPONSE message format table
Step 403, RN receives X2SETUP RESPONSE message, checks in the adjacent cell information of DeNB whether have the neighbor cell of RN, if had, performs step 404; If no, perform step 405.
Step 404, RN preserves X2 interface indication information.
Step 405, RN confirms do not have X2 interface to connect between DeNB and the neighbor cell of RN.
Step 406, when the subscriber equipment under RN switches, RN judges between self base station equipment at place and the neighbor cell of RN whether have X2 interface according to X2 interface indication information, if existed, performs step 407; If there is no, perform step 408.
Step 407, RN initiates X2 and switches.
Step 408, RN initiates S1 and switches.
It should be noted that, the inventive method can be adjusted each step order according to actual needs.
The technical scheme of the embodiment of the present invention has the following advantages, because when UE switches, RN determines how to initiate handoff procedure according to the X2 interface indication information between DeNB and the neighbor cell of RN, has improved the success rate of switching.
As shown in Figure 5, a kind of method flow diagram of initiating switching in the embodiment of the present invention three, comprises the following steps:
Step 501, DeNB sends ENB CONFIGURATION UPDATE (eNB config update) message to RN, initiates X2 interface config update process.
Particularly, the form of ENB CONFIGURATION UPDATE message, as shown in table 2.DeNB exchanges the service cell information of all increases or modification, in the Neighbour Information IE in ENB CONFIGURATIONUPDATE message, carry and neighbor cell between X2 interface indication information.
Table 2ENB CONFIGURATION UPDATE message format table
Step 502, RN receives ENB CONFIGURATION UPDATE message, relatively in the adjacent cell information of DeNB, whether has the neighbor cell of RN, if had, performs step 503; If no, perform step 504.
Step 503, RN preserves X2 interface indication information.
Step 504, RN confirms do not have X2 interface to connect between DeNB and the neighbor cell of RN.
It should be noted that, in RN when there is service cell information change, also can send X2 configuration update message to DeNB, the Neighbour Information IE carrying in the ENB CONFIGURATION UPDATE message that the NeighbourInformation IE that DeNB can carry according to RN in X2 configuration update message decides once DeNB to initiate, obtain the adjacent cell information of RN, if there is the neighbor cell of RN in other eNB communities that exist X2 interface to be connected with DeNB, the adjacent cell information that DeNB comprises RN in can the NeighbourInformation IE in the upper ENB CONFIGURATION UPDATE message that once sends to RN, and carry X2 interface indication information.
Step 505, RN returns to ENB CONFIGURATION ACKNOWLEDGE (eNB configuration is replied) message to DeNB.
Step 506, when the subscriber equipment under RN switches, RN judges between self base station equipment at place and the neighbor cell of RN whether have X2 interface according to X2 interface indication information, if existed, performs step 507; If there is no, perform step 508.
Step 507, RN initiates X2 and switches.
Step 508, RN initiates S1 and switches.
It should be noted that, the inventive method can be adjusted each step order according to actual needs.
The technical scheme of the embodiment of the present invention has the following advantages, because when UE switches, RN determines how to initiate handoff procedure according to the X2 interface indication information between DeNB and the neighbor cell of RN, improve the success rate of switching, and reduced the number of cells that Neighbour Information IE carries.
