Corresponding with the changing method in a kind of LTE system; The application embodiment also provides the switching device shifter in a kind of LTE system; See also Fig. 4; It is the structure chart of an embodiment of the switching device shifter in a kind of LTE of the application system, and this device comprises: the chain of command CC module 401 of source eNB and the chain of command CC module 402 of target eNB, further introduce its internal structure and annexation below in conjunction with the operation principle of this device.
The chain of command CC module 401 of source eNB; Be used for after source eNB receives the switching command message of MME transmission; Through up-downgoing data forwarding tunnel configuration messages interface, cell-of-origin sign, UE sign and GTP tunnel configuration information are sent to the GTP layer of source eNB, so that reconfiguring GTP according to the information that receives, the GTP layer transmits the tunnel; After source eNB is intact with the E-RAB data forwarding; Through transmitting tunnel deletion message interface, the tunnel information of cell-of-origin sign, UE sign and GTP tunnel to be deleted is sent to the GTP layer of source eNB, so that the GTP layer is transmitted the tunnel according to the information deletion GTP that receives;
The chain of command CC module 402 of target eNB; Be used for after target eNB obtains new RNTI; Through up-downgoing data forwarding tunnel configuration messages interface, Target Cell Identifier, UE sign and GTP tunnel configuration information are sent to the GTP layer of target eNB, so that reconfiguring GTP according to the information that receives, the GTP layer transmits the tunnel; When target eNB after MME sends handoff notification message; Through S-GW configuration messages interface, Target Cell Identifier, UE sign and GTP tunnel configuration information are sent to the GTP layer of target eNB, so that reconfiguring GTP according to the information that receives, the GTP layer transmits the tunnel; After target eNB has been sent upstream data; Through transmitting tunnel deletion message interface, the tunnel information of Target Cell Identifier, UE sign and GTP tunnel to be deleted is sent to the GTP layer of target eNB, so that the GTP layer is transmitted the tunnel according to the information deletion GTP that receives.
The above-mentioned Signalling exchange that passes through between chain of command CC module and the GTP layer has been realized in handoff procedure, GTP ordinary crossing in source of configuration eNB and the target eNB and forwarding tunnel, and, deletion ordinary crossing and forwarding tunnel after finishing switching.
In addition, in the switching device shifter of application embodiment, can also be implemented in source eNB and the target eNB and dispose PDCP through the Signalling exchange between chain of command CC module and the PDCP layer, indication PDCP layer buffer memory and forwarding data, perhaps designation data is transmitted and is accomplished.
Preferably; The chain of command CC module of said source eNB also is used for, and after the up-downgoing data forwarding tunnel of source eNB has disposed, obtains message interface through cell-of-origin PDCP SN state; PDCP SN state to the PDCP of source eNB layer acquisition request cell-of-origin; So that the PDCP layer returns the accepting state of up-downgoing PDCP SN and HFN, after source eNB starts the up-downgoing data forwarding, through up-downgoing data forwarding message interface; Cell-of-origin sign, UE sign and data forwarding type are sent to the PDCP layer of source eNB, so that the PDCP layer is transmitted the up-downgoing data according to the information that receives to target eNB;
The chain of command CC module of said target eNB also is used for, and after target eNB obtains new RNTI, transmits the tunnel configuration message interface through up-downgoing; Target Cell Identifier, UE sign and tunnel configuration information are sent to the PDCP layer of target eNB; So that the PDCP layer is transmitted the tunnel according to the information configuration up-downgoing that receives, when target eNB after MME sends Handover Request Acknowledge message, the data-message interface that inserts through PDCP buffer memory UE; Target Cell Identifier, UE sign and data forwarding configuration information are sent to the PDCP layer of target eNB; So that the data after the PDCP layer inserts according to the information cache UE that receives, after target eNB receives the MME Status Transfer message that MME sends, through Target cell PDCP SN state configuration message interface; Target Cell Identifier, UE sign and PDCP SN state parameter are sent to the PDCP layer of target eNB; So that the PDCP layer according to the PDCP SN and the HFN of the information configuration target eNB that receives, receives the RRC reprovision completion message of UE transmission when target eNB after, send message interface through downlink data; Target Cell Identifier, UE sign and data forwarding configuration information are sent to the PDCP layer of target eNB; So that the PDCP layer sends downlink data according to the information that receives, after the S-GW on the target eNB has disposed, send message interface through upstream data; Target Cell Identifier, UE sign and data forwarding configuration information are sent to the PDCP layer of target eNB, so that the PDCP layer sends upstream data according to the information that receives;
Then; Said system also comprises: the PDCP layer of source eNB, be used for after source eNB is intact with the E-RAB data forwarding, and transmit through the PDCP designation data and accomplish message interface; End Market message is sent to target eNB, and the chain of command CC module data of notification source eNB is transmitted completion;
The PDCP layer of target eNB is used for after target eNB has been sent upstream data, transmits through the PDCP designation data and accomplishes message interface, and the chain of command CC module data of notification target eNB is transmitted and accomplished.
In addition, in the switching device shifter of application embodiment, can also be implemented in the new RNTI of distribution in source eNB and the target eNB through the Signalling exchange between chain of command CC module and the MAC layer.
Further preferred; The chain of command CC module of said target eNB also is used for; After the RRM of target eNB resource is examined successfully; Obtain message interface through new RNTI, the configuration information of Target Cell Identifier, UE sign and channel to be accessed is sent to the MAC layer of target eNB, distribute new RNTI so that the MAC layer is a target eNB.
Can find out by the foregoing description; The application embodiment is on LTE agreement basis; Through message interface and the Signalling exchange between chain of command CC module and the GTP layer, realized in the handoff procedure the GTP ordinary crossing in eNB and the target eNB and the configuration of transmitting the tunnel.And, realized after handoff procedure finishes deletion ordinary crossing and forwarding tunnel.Thereby avoided the data packet loss in the handoff procedure, realized taking over seamlessly.
In addition; Through message interface and the Signalling exchange between chain of command CC module and PDCP layer and the MAC; Realized in the handoff procedure configuration to PDCP in eNB and the target eNB; And indicated the PDCP in the handoff procedure data cached, transmit data, data forwarding is accomplished, and obtains new RNTI.Realized taking over seamlessly.
Need to prove; One of ordinary skill in the art will appreciate that all or part of flow process that realizes in the foregoing description method; Be to instruct relevant hardware to accomplish through computer program; Described program can be stored in the computer read/write memory medium, and this program can comprise the flow process like the embodiment of above-mentioned each side method when carrying out.Wherein, described storage medium can be magnetic disc, CD, read-only storage memory body (Read-Only Memory, ROM) or at random store memory body (Random Access Memory, RAM) etc.
More than the switching method and apparatus in the application provided a kind of LTE system has been carried out detailed introduction; Used specific embodiment among this paper the application's principle and execution mode are set forth, the explanation of above embodiment just is used to help to understand the application's method and core concept thereof; Simultaneously, for one of ordinary skill in the art, according to the application's thought, the part that on embodiment and range of application, all can change, in sum, this description should not be construed as the restriction to the application.
