Description

Method for synchronous, communication handover method, wireless network and node
Technical field
The present invention relates to the communications field, particularly relate to interface message method for synchronous, communication handover method, wireless network and wireless access network network node.
Background technology
LTE/SAE (Long Term Evolution/System Architecture Evolution, Long Term Evolution/System Architecture Evolution) network system project, it is the maximum new technology development project of third generation partner program (3GPP, 3rd Generation Partnership Project) startup in recent years.This with OFDM/frequency division multiple access (OFDM/FDMA) be the technology of core owing to have some " 4G " feature, be counted as " accurate 4G " technology.
Consulting Fig. 1, is the Organization Chart of prior art LTE/SAE network system.Described LTE/SAE network system comprises the wireless access network network node (eNB of evolution, eNodeB) and the management these wireless access network network nodes mobile management entity/System Architecture Evolution gateway (MME/SGW, Mobility Management Entity/Serving System Architecture Evolution Gateway).Being S1 interface (The Interface Between eNB and MME, the interface between eNB and the MME) between MME/SGW and the eNB, is that X2 interface (The Interface Between eNBs, the interface between the eNB) connects between the eNB.
Among the present LTE, the communication handoff procedure is divided into two big classes.One class is that source eNB switches to target eNB by X2 interface; Another kind is that source eNB switches to target eNB by the S1 interface.As follows:
Switch by X2 interface: source eNB and target eNB are administered by same MME in the handoff procedure, MME does not change, described source eNB directly sends handoff request message to target eNB by X2 interface and switches, and the handoff procedure in this time does not relate to MME, is called the switching by X2 interface.When switching, need use the S1 interface by X2 interface.
Switch by the S1 interface: change has taken place in the MME that relates in the handoff procedure, and when promptly source eNB and target eNB were not administered by same MME, source eNB will send handoff request message by the S1 interface, and this switching is called the switching by the S1 interface.
When how an eNodeB selects above-mentioned any changing method, prior art when initiating to switch the method that following eNB selects switching is proposed:
If the A X2 interface does not exist, then switch by the S1 interface;
If B is configured to the switching of the target eNB of adjacency in the eNB of source be to adopt the S1 interface to switch, then adopt the S1 interface to switch;
The method is to keep a static table earlier in the eNB of source, carry out the switching that S1 still is an X2 interface according to the relevant interface connection situation decision in abutting connection with eNB of writing down in the described static table, but prior art does not provide the structure of this static table, does not provide the explanation that how to utilize this static table to communicate switching yet.
If C when carrying out the X2 interface switching, receives the refuse information of target eNB, explanation can't be switched by X2, then uses S1 to switch;
In the method,, just send handover request by described X2 interface earlier as long as connection by X2 interface is arranged.If target eNB is found to carry out the switching of X2 interface, there is not identical MME to connect such as judging, target eNB sends the information of handoff failure for source eNB so, is with corresponding cause value in the switch failure information.Indication source eNB sends handover require message by the S1 interface to MME again.
In carrying out the invention process, the inventor finds to exist at least in the above-mentioned prior art following problem:
1) for option b, because source eNB need know relevant interface static configuration situation in abutting connection with eNB,, need and then to change when the configuration of adjacency eNB has changed, carrying out the static configuration manual modification so all wastes time and energy, and the manual modification data are made mistakes easily; And prior art does not provide the concrete structure of static table, does not specifically provide the explanation that how to utilize this static table to communicate switching yet.
2) for scheme C, owing to can only also must send Handover Request by X2 interface earlier by the switching of S1 interface to those, the waste resource increases time delay again; In addition according to existing X2 interface switching flow, target eNB just can be carried out the foundation of interface-free resources after receiving Handover Request immediately, if but use this scheme C, can target eNB at first need to carry out once using the judgement of X2 interface switching after receiving Handover Request so, and this can also increase unnecessary processing by the flow process that X2 interface switches to those.

The invention provides communication handover method second execution mode, comprise: when switching, source wireless access network network node fetch interface information, described interface message comprises: whether exist between source wireless access network network node and the Target Wireless Access Network network node X2 interface information and/or: the information that whether has the S1 interface between the service core net node of source wireless access network network node and the described Target Wireless Access Network network node; Comprise in described interface message and to switch by X2 interface when having the information of S1 interface between the service core net node that has X2 interface information, source wireless access network network node between source wireless access network network node and the Target Wireless Access Network network node and the described Target Wireless Access Network network node; Otherwise switch by the S1 interface.
Above communication handover method of the present invention first, two execution modes as can be seen, because elder generation's fetch interface information or interface switching table when switching, according to the changeable interface that directly switching of the interface of record requires or judgement draws according to interface message in the interface switching table, carry out interface selection and switching, described judgment mode is to comprise between source wireless access network network node and the Target Wireless Access Network network node in described interface message having X2 interface information, when having the information of S1 interface between the service core net node of source wireless access network network node and the described Target Wireless Access Network network node, send handoff request by X2 interface; Otherwise send handoff request by the S1 interface, therefore can choose appropriate interface accurately, fast, avoid prior art not know interface case and need when switching, carry out the judgement that once can use X2 interface to switch, improve switching efficiency, reduce system loading.
For make purpose of the present invention, technical scheme, and advantage clearer, below with reference to the accompanying drawing execution mode that develops simultaneously, the present invention is described in more detail.
Consult Fig. 2, communication handover method the 3rd execution mode of the present invention may further comprise the steps:
Step 201: when switching, source wireless access network network node reads S1 and X2 interface information, and described interface message comprises: whether exist between source wireless access network network node and the Target Wireless Access Network network node X2 interface information and/or: the information that whether has the S1 interface between the service core net node of source wireless access network network node and the Target Wireless Access Network network node;
As described above, described S1 and X2 interface information exist with S1, X2 interface allocation list form, and are kept on the wireless access network network node of source.Consult Fig. 3, described S1, X2 interface allocation list structure can be as shown in the table:
For example: among Fig. 3, wireless access network network node 1 and wireless access network network node 2,3rd, adjacent, there is X2 interface between them.In wireless access network network node 1, can store such tabulation:
The wireless access network network node Core net node 1 Core net node 2 Core net node 3
Wireless access network network node 2 0 1 1
Wireless access network network node 3 0 0 1
Table one: the S1 of wireless access network network node 1, X2 interface allocation list
First row are adjacent wireless access network network node information in the table.First shows wireless access network network node 2, wireless access network network node 3.Illustrate between wireless access network network node 1 and the wireless access network network node 2,3 and have X2 interface.In described row, do not have the title of certain wireless access network network node, then illustrate between wireless access network network node 1 and described certain wireless access network network node not have X2 interface.
The first line display associated core net node in the table, whether the following expression of second row each exist the situation of S1 interface in abutting connection with wireless access network network node and described associated core net node.Use " 1 " expression if certain wireless access network network node and certain associated core net node have the S1 interface, do not have and then use " 0 " expression.All and between the core net node 2,3 there is the S1 interface in wireless access network network node 2 as can be seen, but and does not have the S1 interface between the core net node 1.There is the S1 interface between wireless access network network node 3 and the core net node 3, and all do not have the S1 interface between the core net node 1,2.Know between own and the associated core net node whether exist under the S1 interface case at source wireless access network network node, can infer from second row and following content thereof: the service core net of source wireless access network network node whether and other have the S1 interface in abutting connection with between the wireless access network network node, such as the relevant position in service core net node 2 correspondence table of wireless access network network node 2 and wireless access network network node 1 is " 1 ", and wireless access network network node 1 has been known own and core net node 2 between have the S1 interface, then have the S1 interface between the service core net 2 of wireless access network network node 2 and the wireless access network network node 1.
Obviously, the content of first row is whether source wireless access network network node exists the information of X2 interface with other in abutting connection with the wireless access network network node in the table; Whether the following content of second row is in the table: describedly exist the S1 interface to be connected with core net node in abutting connection with the wireless access network network node.Source wireless access network network node can draw the service core net node of source wireless access network network node and whether have the S1 interface in abutting connection with between the wireless access network network node according to the following S1 interface message of second row in self S1 interface message and the described table.
Equally, other also preserve similar allocation list in abutting connection with the wireless access network network node, are used for communication and switch.
The wireless access network network node Core net node 1 Core net node 2 Core net node 3
Wireless access network network node 1 1 1 0
Table two: the S1 of wireless access network network node 2, X2 interface allocation list
The wireless access network network node Core net node 1 Core net node 2 Core net node 3
Wireless access network network node 1 1 1 0
Table three: the S1 of wireless access network network node 3, X2 interface allocation list
Source wireless access network network node also can be added the S1 interface message of oneself in the above-mentioned allocation list, is placed on first row.And second row to begin be information in abutting connection with the wireless access network network node.Table four for example:
The wireless access network network node Core net node 1 Core net node 2 Core net node 3
Wireless access network network node 1 1 1 0
Wireless access network network node 2 0 1 1
Wireless access network network node 3 0 0 1
Table four: the S1 of wireless access network network node 1, X2 interface allocation list
Like this, just can directly judge source wireless access network network node and other whether all and have the S1 interface between certain core net node in abutting connection with the wireless access network network node.
When source wireless access network network node will switch, at first reading and saving was at the S1 of this locality for source wireless access network network node, and the X2 interface allocation list enters following step then:
Step 202: comprise in described interface message sending handoff request by X2 interface to Target Wireless Access Network network node when having the information of S1 interface between the service core net node that has X2 interface information, source wireless access network network node between source wireless access network network node and the Target Wireless Access Network network node and the described Target Wireless Access Network network node; Otherwise send handoff request to Target Wireless Access Network network node by the S1 interface.
Detailed process is as follows:
If A does not find Target Wireless Access Network network node in first row of allocation list, illustrating between described source wireless access network network node and the Target Wireless Access Network network node does not have X2 interface, directly sends the handoff request Handover Require of S1 interface.If find Target Wireless Access Network network node, illustrate that described source wireless access network network node and target have X2 interface between the wireless access network network node, change following step C;
C, second row of allocation list and below search this delegation of Target Wireless Access Network network node, look for these row of core net node of source wireless access network network node service again, see the value in this row and column crosspoint; Do not have the S1 interface to connect if value for " 0 ", then illustrates between the service core net node of source wireless access network network node and the Target Wireless Access Network network node, source wireless access network network node directly sends the Handover Require of S1 interface.If for " 1 ", illustrate between the service core net node of source wireless access network network node and the Target Wireless Access Network network node, value has the S1 interface, the commentaries on classics step e;
E, send Handover Request for Target Wireless Access Network network node by X2 interface.
From as can be seen above, because the wireless access network network node judges between own and the described core net whether have the S1 interface according to S1 information of self and the described S1 interface message that receives in wireless network, just can choose appropriate interface accurately, fast according to the X2 interface information that receives again, avoid prior art after receiving Handover Request, at first to need to carry out once can using the judgement of X2 interface switching, improve switch speed, reduce system loading.
If there is the S1 interface to connect between the service core net node of source wireless access network network node and the Target Wireless Access Network network node, and there is link X2 in source, Target Wireless Access Network network node, but aborted appears in the X2 link.If at this moment directly send handoff request, switch so and will fail by X2 interface.Therefore increasing this step judges the X2 interface Link State in advance, if undesired just the transferring of X2 interface Link State initiated handoff request by the S1 interface, avoids handoff failure to improve handover success rate.
On the basis of S1, X2 interface allocation list, increase a state value for this reason, be used for representing whether X2, S1 link can normally use.Can increase parameter on concrete and represent situations such as whether link is available, unavailable, do not exist.For example consult following S1, X2 interface allocation list.
The wireless access network network node Core net node 1 Core net node 2 Core net node 3 X2
Wireless access network network node 2 0 1 2 1
Wireless access network network node 3 0 0 1 2
Table five: the S1 on the wireless access network network node 1, X2 interface allocation list
In the table five: " X2 " these row that increase more, same duration " 0 " expression does not have link to connect, and " 1 " is normal, and " 2 " are that fault is unavailable.The parametric representation of table five: wireless access network network node 1 is good for use with the X2 link of wireless access network network node 2.Wireless access network network node 1 is unavailable with the X2 link of wireless access network network node 3.Wireless access network network node 2 does not have S1 to be connected with core net node 1, is connected good for usely with the S1 of core net node, is connected unavailable with the S1 of core net node 3.Wireless access network network node 1 is unavailable with the X2 link of wireless access network network node 3.
In other embodiments, described " X2 " these row also can be to exist in the another one table, utilize it when carrying out this step 201, are options.
" judge whether described S1 and/or X2 interface be available, continue to carry out flow process under available situation, otherwise depend on the circumstances " of increasing in step 202 specifically decomposes as follows:
B, in allocation list first row, search, if find Target Wireless Access Network network node, continue in allocation list, to search the value of these row of X2 again, if it is unavailable to find the X2 link, then switch and send Handover Require by the S1 interface, otherwise change above-mentioned steps C, step D below changeing behind the completing steps C;
D, judge whether the S1 connection status of Target Wireless Access Network network node is normal.If normally switch, send handover request by X2 interface.Otherwise switch by the S1 interface, send Handover Request.
For example, source wireless access network network node 1 is prepared tangential Target Wireless Access Network network node 2, during switching, source wireless access network network node 1 is look-up table five at first, the state of checking X2 is 1, and the X2 link is normal, sees the state of the core net node that links to each other with wireless access network network node 2 again.The state of finding core net node 2 is 1, illustrates that the S1 link is normal, switches by X2 interface.
In other embodiments, can be provided with on S1, X2 interface allocation list should be by the option of S1 or X2 interface switching.Comprise when having the information of S1 interface between the service core net node that has X2 interface information, source wireless access network network node between source wireless access network network node and the Target Wireless Access Network network node and the described Target Wireless Access Network network node at described S1, X2 interface allocation list, setting should be by the information of X2 interface switching, otherwise setting should be by the information of S1 interface switching.
Perhaps, can on described S1, X2 interface allocation list basis, dynamically generate a simple more S1 interface switching table.Described S1 interface switching table record switches to Target Wireless Access Network network node and should adopt the S1 interface, utilizes described S1 interface switching table directly to determine to switch and walks S1 interface switching flow or walk the X2 interface switching flow.
Described S1 interface switching table can comprise following two kinds:
1) S1 interface switching table comprises MME and S1 interface options;
In described S1, X2 interface allocation list, the road has been configured or this S1 Interface status is available if the S1 interface of the serving MME of source wireless access network network node in table 1 or table 5 connects, the information that should switch to described Target Wireless Access Network network node by the S1 interface then is set in described S1 interface switching table, and details are as follows:
Consult table six, if exist the S1 interface to connect between the service core net node of source wireless access network network node and the Target Wireless Access Network network node, S1 handoff options value in the then described interface switching table is 0, and expression should not switched by X2 interface by the S1 interface; Otherwise this value is 1, and expression should be switched by the S1 interface.Can consider S1 interface link state simultaneously, for example work as described S1 interface link state for just often, this option just is 0, otherwise is 1.
The service core net node and the pairing value of Target Wireless Access Network network node of looking for source wireless access network network node when switching in this table are directly done to switch according to this value and are selected.
Core net node Wireless access network network node 2 Wireless access network network node 3
MME1 1 1
MME2 0 1
Table six: interface switching table one
Table six utilizes table five to generate.Source wireless access network network node is received in abutting connection with the X2 of wireless access network network node, after the S1 interface message, generate aforesaid X2, S1 allocation list, basis generates S1 interface switching table such as table six with the situation whether the service core net node of source wireless access network network node exists the S1 interface to be connected again.If the state of one row of the corresponding core net node promptly in the table five is available, then thinks and switch by X2 interface, otherwise should switch by S1.
2) the interface switching table only comprises the S1 interface options.
The similar scheme 1 of this scheme), but different be the S1 interface options that in the interface switching table, only comprises different core network node between two wireless access network network nodes, simpler, principle is as follows:
Suppose that each MME that connects same wireless access network network node belongs to same MME POOL (MME pond), must connect same wireless access network network node by MME pool together.Though between two wireless access network network nodes X2 interface is arranged, they are connected to two MMEpool, so the switching between them need be undertaken by S1.Can dispose so interface switching table, this class wireless access network network node is put in, the wireless access network network node in this interface switching table will switch by the S1 interface.
The concrete grammar that described interface switching table is set is as follows:
One, need obtain the S1 interface message of Target Wireless Access Network network node earlier, Target Wireless Access Network network node is issued source wireless access network network node by the S1 interface message of one/a plurality of/whole MME that the X2 interface handle links to each other with oneself;
Two,, judge that whether and between the same core net node described source wireless access network network node and described Target Wireless Access Network network node exist the S1 interface according to the S1 interface message of described Target Wireless Access Network network node and the S1 interface message of source wireless access network network node;
Judging when not having identical core net node between described source wireless access network network node and the described Target Wireless Access Network network node, also promptly not and when having the S1 interface between the same core net node, the information that switches to described Target Wireless Access Network network node by the S1 interface only is set in described interface switching table
After source wireless access network network node is received this S1 interface message, compare with the S1 interface message of oneself, if have one/a plurality of/whole MME identical, just illustrate that source wireless access network network node and Target Wireless Access Network network node belong to same MME pool; If all inequality, illustrate not belong to a MME pool.Then these wireless access network network nodes that do not belong to same MME are put into the interface switching table, as follows:
Above-mentioned S1 information comprises that configuration information also can the company's of adding line state information.

Table seven: interface switching table two
Above-mentioned S1 information comprises that configuration information also can add link-state information.
As shown in Figure 4, during switching,
Step 401: source wireless access network network node is at first searched this table;
Step 402:
If have Target Wireless Access Network network node or state normal in this table of A, so just switch by the S1 interface;
B otherwise, carry out trial or because the undesired direct feedback handoff failure of Link State that X2 switches.
If also have a state information in the table seven, if state representation is normal just by the switching of S1 interface so.This state information is an option.
If the S1 of wireless access network network node, X2 interface changes, and needs notice in abutting connection with the wireless access network network node, allows the wireless access network network node of adjacency upgrade S1, X2 interface allocation list.Therefore, interface message method for synchronous second execution mode of the present invention is proposed.Consult Fig. 5, described method comprises:
Step 501: the condition that judges whether to satisfy the trigger interface information updating;
Be to judge whether the S1 of described wireless access network network node and/or X2 interface configuration and/or state change in the present embodiment;
Step 502: when satisfying the condition of described trigger interface information updating, send between this wireless access network network node and the core net node the S1 interface and/or and adjacency wireless access network network node between X2 interface information to adjacency wireless access network network node;
When whether the S1 of this wireless access network network node and/or X2 interface configuration and/or state change, be connected to another core net node such as this wireless access network network node, variation has taken place in the S1 interface configuration; Become such as X2 interface address again with neighbours' wireless access network network node; Such as S1 and X2 interface configuration variation has taken place all again.
It is described in abutting connection with the wireless access network network node at this time to send the message informing that carries this wireless access network network node S1 and/or X2 interface information by X2 interface.Can be with a special signaling in abutting connection with wireless access network network node 1, such as Config Info message.Also can follow in other provisioning message the insides and send.
Described wireless access network network node S1 and/or X2 interface information comprise following content:
This wireless access network network node and in abutting connection with the wireless access network network node exist X2 interface information and/or: the information that has the S1 interface between this wireless access network network node and the core net node.Just S1 as shown in Table 1, X2 interface allocation list.
Also can comprise simultaneously: S1 as shown in Table 5, X2 interface allocation list:
This wireless access network network node and other are in abutting connection with the S1 between the wireless access network network node and/or X2 interface information available whether.The parameter of expression state in S1 as shown in Table 5, the X2 interface allocation list.
Step 503: receive described S1 and/or X2 interface information;
Receive described S1 and/or X2 interface information in abutting connection with the wireless access network network node.
Step 504: according to described S1 that receives and/or X2 interface information, the described interface message of configuration/renewal in abutting connection with the wireless access network network node.
After receiving described S1 and/or X2 interface information in abutting connection with the wireless access network network node,, then dispose this interface message if itself there is not this interface message; If itself there is old interface message, then upgrade it.
From as can be seen above, because the wireless access network network node up-to-date is stated S1 and/or X2 interface information is told in abutting connection with the wireless access network network node with self automatically when satisfying certain condition in wireless network, make and all know up-to-date X2 interface information and in abutting connection with the S1 interface message of wireless access network network node in abutting connection with the wireless access network network node.Carry out interface selection judgement according to described up-to-date S1 and/or X2 interface information, just can carry out handover operation fast.Cost height, the inefficient technical problem of avoiding prior art static configuration manual modification wireless access network Network-Node Interface information to be caused, also avoid prior art need carry out the judgement that once can use X2 interface to switch, improve switch speed, reduce system loading.
In addition, can further include:
Step 505: this wireless access network network node receives described interface message in abutting connection with the wireless access network network node, and described interface message comprises: described between wireless access network network node and core net node the S1 interface and/or and this wireless access network network node between X2 interface information.
Also be this wireless access network network node except transmission interface information to other wireless access network network node, can receive the interface message of other wireless access network network nodes, as switching the basis for estimation of selecting.The wireless access network network node is all used the present invention in wireless network, mutually mutual up-to-date S1 and/or X2 interface information separately between the wireless access network network node then, before then any one wireless access network network node switches to Target Wireless Access Network network node, know that all needing to adopt X2 interface still is that the S1 interface switches, improve switching efficiency, the operation of avoiding handoff failure and carrying out interface testing.
Simultaneously, known S1 and/or X2 Link State, more accurate when carrying out the handoff request selection so, improve success rate for switching.
In the step 502, if the S1 of wireless access network network node, the X2 configuration changes, and can pass through X2 interface message informing all of its neighbor wireless access network network node at any time.Perhaps, all send this message no matter whether change.
After the interface message of wireless access network network node, further comprise in that configuration/renewal is described:
Calculate switching according to described interface message in abutting connection with the wireless access network network node and select configuration information table, described switching selects configuration information table to comprise need communicate the content of switching selection by S1 or X2 interface.Can carry out switching judging faster like this, improve handover operation speed.
In other embodiments, the condition that judges whether to satisfy the trigger interface information updating in the described step 501 can also be following A, B, and C, D, any among E or the F:
Whether the timer of the S1 of A, described wireless access network network node and/or X2 interface information is overtime;
Can periodically carry out between each wireless access network network node alternately, such as on S1 and/or X2 interface information, timer being set.And, can also be before transmission interface information judge earlier whether the S1 of described wireless access network network node and/or X2 interface information or Link State change, it is described in abutting connection with the wireless access network network node to send message informing when changing, otherwise does not send.Perhaps do not judge, timer then just send;
B, whether receive described in abutting connection with the request S1 of wireless access network network node and/or the message of X2 interface information;
The wireless access network network node can be by X2 interface periodically to the S1 of its latest configuration of request of adjacent wireless access network network node, X2 interface information.When this wireless access network network node timer expiry, initiatively to adjacency wireless access network network node request X2, S1 interface message.
Whether C, described X2 handover operation of initiating to this wireless access network network node in abutting connection with the wireless access network network node fail;
If this wireless access network network node is searched S1, X2 interface allocation list, decision is switched by X2 interface, after sending switching message, Target Wireless Access Network network node finds that own S1 interface link has broken, and sends switch failure information at this moment will for source wireless access network network node.At this moment S1, X2 interface allocation list can follow switch failure information to send, and perhaps give a cause value, want new S1, X2 interface allocation list information by this wireless access network network node to Target Wireless Access Network network node.Perhaps the S1 interface of Target Wireless Access Network network node can not the time spent, and core net node sends allocation list information about the S1 interface for source wireless access network network node.
When whether handover operation fails, in step 402, can adopt and send S1, X2 interface information in the following method:
The S1 and/or the X2 interface information of in returning to described handoff failure response in abutting connection with the wireless access network network node, carrying described wireless access network network node; Or
In returning to described handoff failure response in abutting connection with the wireless access network network node, carry failure cause, after receiving described failure cause, analyze cause value in abutting connection with the wireless access network network node.If failure causes such as allocation of radio resources then illustrate handoff failure.If the S1 interface of Target Wireless Access Network network node does not dispose or state is unavailable, this wireless access network network node sends a request message and requires this wireless access network network node to send S1 and/or X2 interface informational message so, sends the S1 of this wireless access network network node and/or X2 interface information to adjacency wireless access network network node.Or
In returning to described handoff failure response in abutting connection with the wireless access network network node, carry failure cause, in abutting connection with the Access Network network node after receiving described failure cause, if failure cause be Target Wireless Access Network network node with core net node between no S1 interface be connected.Source wireless access network network node is to the S1 and the X2 interface configuration information of core net node request target wireless access network network node.If it is normal that target S1 interface configuration is recovered, can switch by X2 interface, but this wireless access network network node is not also known, it is initiated S1 interface handoff request earlier and gives MME, after MME receives this handoff request, the MME that finds Target Wireless Access Network network node and this wireless access network network node is identical, MME also can trigger the configuring condition that sends change Target Wireless Access Network network node to this wireless access network network node so, and perhaps notification target wireless access network network node sends S1 interface configuration information to this wireless access network network node.This wireless access network network node is revised X2, the S1 allocation list after receiving the S1 interface configuration information of Target Wireless Access Network network node.
If this wireless access network network node is searched S1, X2 allocation list, decision is carried out X2 interface and is switched, send switch message after, Target Wireless Access Network network node finds that own S1 interface link has broken, and sends handoff failure at this moment will for source NB.At this moment allocation list can follow switch failure information to send, and perhaps gives a cause value, wants new allocation list information by this wireless access network network node to Target Wireless Access Network network node.Perhaps the S1 interface of Target Wireless Access Network network node can not the time spent, and core net node sends about S1 allocation list information to the source.
Consult Fig. 6, the detailed step of this interface message method for synchronous execution mode is as follows:
Step 601: terminal to report measurement report.
Step 602: after this wireless access network network node is received measurement report, if decision will be switched, if there is X2 interface to connect, this wireless access network network node sends handoff request Ho Request to Target Wireless Access Network network node by X2 interface so.
Step 603: if Target Wireless Access Network network node finds that the S1 interface breaks or other reasons is failed such as allocation of radio resources, can not switch, satisfy the condition of described trigger interface information updating, answer handoff failure so just for this wireless access network network node.At this moment failure reason value can be with, perhaps if the configuration of S1 interface or state issues, also S1 can be carried, the X2 interface allocation list sends together.
Step 604: after this wireless access network network node is received Ho Failure, judge failure cause according to cause value, if the configuration of S1 interface or state reason, and Ho Failure is directly carrying allocation list information, so just directly upgrades S1, X2 interface allocation list on this wireless access network network node according to this allocation list.The configuration reason that has just shown S1 else if, cause value are not configuration or states of S1 interface, and do not carry allocation list, change step 605 so.If failure cause is radio-resource-configuration failure and the handoff failure that causes finishes so.
Step 605: this wireless access network network node sends message (such as Config Info Request message) by X2 interface and gives Target Wireless Access Network network node, the X2 that look for novelty, S1 interface message.
Step 606: send between Target Wireless Access Network network node and the core net node the S1 interface and/or and this wireless access network network node between X2 interface information to this wireless access network network node.
Target Wireless Access Network network node is received message (such as Config Request message), sends new configuration information table (such as Config info message) for the wireless access network network node of adjacency.
The cause value here can be unavailable for the not configuration of: the S1 interface of Target Wireless Access Network network node, S1 state, allocation of radio resources failure, NAS reason, transmission channel reason, protocol failure reason etc.
When target S1 interface recovered, with reference to figure 7, this interface message method for synchronous execution mode comprised that step is as follows:
Step 701: terminal to report measurement report.
Step 702: after source wireless access network network node is received measurement report, if decision to switch, read S1, X2 interface allocation list after, decision is initiated switching by the S1 interface to Target Wireless Access Network network node.
Step 703:MME receives handoff request, judge whether to satisfy the condition of trigger interface information updating, whether promptly judge between Target Wireless Access Network network node and described source wireless access network network node and the described core net node all exists the S1 interface to be connected, when judging that Target Wireless Access Network network node and source wireless access network network node are same MME, then tell source wireless access network network node to upgrade the S1 configuration information of Target Wireless Access Network network node.Change step 704, or step 704 ', send the S1 of Target Wireless Access Network network node and/or X2 interface information step to source wireless access network network node;
Step 704:MME initiatively sends the S1 interface message of Target Wireless Access Network network node to described source wireless access network network node, can carry in the handover acknowledge in special message or in switching flow; Or
Step 704 ': MME sends message for Target Wireless Access Network network node, trigger Target Wireless Access Network network node and send the S1 interface message, can carry in the handover acknowledge in special message or in switching flow to source wireless access network network node.
Step 705: source wireless access network network node is revised X2, S1 interface configuration table/S1 interface switching table.
