Background technology
In the TD-SCDMA system, encapsulation user group (Closed Subscriber Group, CSG) community can only allow certain customers' access, can only provide service for the specific user, when the initial access of user and switching, the evolution base station (eNB) of administration CSG need to carry out the CSG access control to it.
In practical application, in certain travelling carriage (UE), default encapsulation user organizes and allows the CSG ID Shi,Gai community that comprises a certain community in list (allowed CSGlist) just to allow this UE access.Allowed CSG list needs to safeguard in MME side and UE side, like this, UE is when initial access and switching, could select to allow the CSG community of access, simultaneously, MME also could select to be checked in the DuiUE community, to guarantee that UE can illegally not access not the to one's name CSG community of Allowed CSG list.
At present, support the eNB of CSG that three kinds of access modules are arranged: close mode, open mode and hybidmode.Wherein Close mode refers to that cell operation under eNB is under the CSG pattern, only has in allowedCSG list the UE that comprises this community CSG ID just to allow access; Hybrid mode refers to, the eNBXia community both can be operated under the CSG pattern, can be operated in general mode again, in allowed CSG list, do not comprise the UE of this CSG ID and also can access without the UE of allowed CSG list; Under Open Mode, eNB works in the non-CSG mode, and CSG ID is not set, and all UE can access.
The process that in existing protocol, UE is switched between eNB by the S1 interface, comprise the switching set-up procedure and switch needed resource allocation process.
Consult shown in Fig. 1, in the switching set-up procedure, source eNB prepares needed resource by Evolved Packet Core (evolvedpacket core network, EPC) request MME, comprising:
Step 1: source eNB is by sending handover request (HANDOVERREQUIRED) message trigger switching flow process to serving MME, source eNB opens the TS1RELOCprep timer.
Source eNB comprises the transparent vessel (Source to Target Transparent Container IE) of source to target in handover request (HANDOVER REQUIRED) message.If intra-system handover, the coding of this IE is the transparent vessel (Source eNB to Target eNBTransparent Container IE) to target eNB with reference to source enb.If be switched to global terrestrial wireless access (Universal Terrestrialradio Access Network, UTRAN), the coding of this IE is with reference to Source RNC to Target RNCTransparent Container IE.If be switched to global system for mobile communications/increase type data rate GSM evolution system wireless access network (GSM/EDGE RAN) pattern, the coding of this IE arrives target BS S transparent vessel (Source BSS to Target BSS Transparent Container IE) with reference to source BSS.
Step 2: (comprise reserved resource) when target eNB is ready to switch, MME will return to switching command (HANDOVER COMMAND) message to source eNB.
Consult shown in Fig. 2, resource allocation process comprises:
Step 1:MME sends handover request (HANDOVER REQUEST) message trigger switching flow to target eNB, may comprise switching restriction list (Handover Restriction List IE) in this message, after target eNB is received this information, it is kept in the UE context, for making switch decision.
Step 2: when target eNB is, after RAB (E-RAB) that acceptable strengthens distributes necessary resource, to MME, to send switching request response (HANDOVER REQUESTACKNOWLEDGE) message,
Carry following two kinds of parameters in HANDOVER REQUEST ACKNOWLEDGE message:
Allow the E-RAB (E-RABs Admitted List IE) of access, the E-RAB of the resource that comprises the target eNB preparation,
Set up failed E-RAB (E-RABs Failed to Setup List IE), comprise the E-RAB do not accepted by target eNB, and carry suitable cause value.
Yet, in existing agreement only in the situation that MME carries out the CSG access control, the flow process that UE is switched between the eNB that supports CSG is described, and the flow process that UE is switched between the internal zone of same eNB administration is not put down in writing, therefore, need to provide a kind of method, for realizing the switching of UE between the internal zone of the eNB that supports CSG.

Based on above-mentioned principle, below a plurality of concrete execution modes are elaborated.
Consult shown in Fig. 5, in the embodiment of the present invention, the switching flow of UE between the eNB internal zone is as follows:
When step 500:eNB need switch to inner Target cell by UE according to measurement report is definite, obtain the CSG relevant information of described Target cell.
It is pre-conditioned that step 510:eNB judges according to the CSG relevant information of described Target cell whether the CSG access module of Target cell or CSG ID meet, if perform step 520; Otherwise, perform step 530.
In the present embodiment, the CSG access module of Target cell meets pre-conditioned referring to: Target cell is the open mode community.And the CSG ID of Target cell meets pre-conditioned referring to: the CSG ID of Target cell is identical with the CSG ID of cell-of-origin.
Step 520:eNB directly carries out hand-off process in this locality.For example, variation of the physical resource that adjustment UE takies etc.
In the present embodiment, perform step at 520 o'clock and comprise following three kinds of situations:
In the first situation, if eNB determines that according to the CSG relevant information of Target cell Target cell is the open mode community, allows UE to switch to Target cell.Now, cell-of-origin can be open mode community, closed mode community or mixed mode community.
In the second situation, if eNB determines that according to the CSG relevant information of Target cell the CSG ID of Target cell is identical with the CSG ID of cell-of-origin, further judge the access module of cell-of-origin, and while in definite cell-of-origin, being the mixed mode community, the encapsulation user whether the CSG ID that judges Target cell belongs to UE organizes and allows list (be UE in cell-of-origin whether with the access of member identity), if allow UE to switch to Target cell; Otherwise refusal UE switches to Target cell.Now, Target cell can be closed mode community or mixed mode community.
In the third situation, if eNB determines that according to the CSG relevant information of Target cell the CSG ID of Target cell is identical with the CSG ID of cell-of-origin, further judge the access module of cell-of-origin, and while in definite cell-of-origin, being the closed mode community, allow UE to switch to Target cell.Because cell-of-origin is the closed mode community, UE is that the mode with member accesses certainly in cell-of-origin, and because the CSG ID of cell-of-origin and Target cell is identical, therefore, UE can access Target cell certainly, do not need MME to carry out access control, the physical resource that only needs eNB to take at internal adjustment UE gets final product.Now, Target cell can be closed mode community or mixed mode community.
Step 530:eNB mails to mobile management entity (MME) request judgement by the CSG relevant information of described Target cell, and the court verdict returned according to MME is carried out corresponding hand-off process.
In the embodiment of the present invention, in execution step, comprise following two kinds of situations at 530 o'clock:
In the first situation, if eNB determines that according to the CSG relevant information of Target cell the CSG ID of Target cell is not identical with the CSG ID of cell-of-origin, further judge the access module of Target cell, and when definite Target cell is the closed mode community, send access target CS G community request message (S1 AP signaling) to MME, carry the CSG relevant information (comprising access module and CSG ID) of Target cell in this access target CS G community request message, UE is application layer ID (eNB UE AP ID) and UE application layer ID (MME UE AP ID) etc. in MME in eNB, wherein, eNB UE AP ID and MME UE AP ID are respectively used to identify UE in eNB and MME, after MME receives the CSG relevant information of Target cell, judge that the CSG ID of Target cell is whether in the allowed of UE CSG list, if, consult shown in Fig. 6, by response message (S1 AP signaling) notice eNB judgement, allow UE to switch to Target cell, carry the eNB UE AP ID of UE and MME UE AP ID etc. in this response message, otherwise, consult shown in Fig. 7, MME accesses message (S1 AP signaling) notice eNB judgement refusal UE by refusal and switches to Target cell, eNB carries out corresponding hand-off process according to the court verdict of MME.Now, cell-of-origin can be open mode community, closed mode community or mixed mode community, wherein, because the open mode community does not arrange CSG ID, therefore, when cell-of-origin is the open mode community, also can be regarded as cell-of-origin different with Target cell CSG ID.
In the second situation, if eNB determines that according to the CSG relevant information of Target cell the CSG ID of Target cell is not identical with the CSG ID of cell-of-origin, further judge the access module of Target cell, and when definite Target cell is the mixed mode community, send access target CS G community request message (S1 AP signaling) to MME, carry the CSG relevant information (comprising access module and CSG ID) of Target cell in this access target CS G community request message, eNB UE AP ID and MME UE AP ID etc., after MME receives the CSG relevant information of Target cell, judge that the CSG ID of Target cell is whether in the allowed of UE CSG list, if, by response message (S1 AP signaling) notice eNB judgement, allow UE to switch to Target cell, and carry out high priority Qos and serve, because UE accesses with the member identity, otherwise, by response message, (S1 AP signaling eNB judgement allows UE to switch to Target cell, and carry out low priority Qos and serve, because UE is with non-member identity access, also carry the eNB UE AP ID of UE and MME UE AP ID etc. in this response message.Now, cell-of-origin can be open mode community, closed mode community or mixed mode community, wherein, because the open mode community does not arrange CSG ID, therefore, when cell-of-origin is the open mode community, also can be regarded as cell-of-origin different with Target cell CSG ID.
In sum, in the embodiment of the present invention, while between the eNB internal zone to supporting CSG, carrying out switching controls, whether at first eNB judges Target cell before and after switching is that the CSG ID of open mode community or Target cell is identical with the CSG ID of cell-of-origin, if, in this locality, directly carry out hand-off process, otherwise, the CSG relevant information of Target cell is mail to MME is adjudicated, and the court verdict returned according to MME is carried out corresponding hand-off process, this is due to compared to cell-of-origin, and therefore the CSG state difference of Target cell needs the MME assist process.Like this, just successfully realize the switching of UE between the eNB internal zone, made up the technological gap under the prior art.
Obviously, those skilled in the art can carry out various changes and modification and not break away from the spirit and scope of the present invention the present invention.Like this, if within of the present invention these are revised and modification belongs to the scope of the claims in the present invention and equivalent technologies thereof, the present invention also is intended to comprise these changes and modification interior.
