In order to save the RN that uses in handoff procedure and the Radio Resource between eNB, the embodiment of the present invention provides a kind of switching handling method, and as shown in Figure 1, embodiment of the present invention switching handling method comprises:
101, the source evolution base station be when definite subscriber equipment need to switch, or determining that appointment after described subscriber equipment need to switch constantly, stops removing the packet of subscriber equipment described in buffer memory.
At this, several concepts of using are in embodiments of the present invention done and described, wherein, source via node (source relay node, S-RN) refers to the via node of the front subscriber equipment access of switching; What source evolution base station (source eNB, S-eNB) referred to source via node that subscriber equipment accesses authorizes (donor) evolution base station; And the target via node mentioned in the following description (Target relay node, T-RN) refers to the via node of the rear subscriber equipment access of switching; Target evolution base station (Target eNB, T-eNB) refers to the evolution base station of subscriber equipment access after switching, or the target via node that after switching, subscriber equipment accesses authorize (donor) evolution base station.
In addition, the source evolution base station can also stop sending to described source via node the packet of described subscriber equipment.
102, the source evolution base station obtains the receiving status information of described subscriber equipment from the source via node.
The source via node can send receiving state report to the source evolution base station, and the source evolution base station obtains the receiving status information of described subscriber equipment from the receiving state report received.Perhaps, the source via node also can carry receiving status information in the handover request sent to the source evolution base station, and the source evolution base station obtains the receiving status information of described subscriber equipment from the handover request received.
103, the source evolution base station, when according to described receiving status information, determining the packet that has loss, obtains the packet of loss from described source via node according to described receiving status information.
The source evolution base station can also send according to described receiving status information the accepting state message of packet and/or the described subscriber equipment of described subscriber equipment to described destination node.
The switching handling method that the embodiment of the present invention provides, by the source evolution base station when definite subscriber equipment need to switch, perhaps in the appointment moment of determining after described subscriber equipment need to switch, stop removing the packet of the described subscriber equipment received by the source via node in buffer memory, and obtain the receiving status information of described subscriber equipment from the source via node, when according to described receiving status information, determining the packet that has loss, obtain the packet of loss from described source via node according to described receiving status information, reduce the possibility of source evolution base station lost data packets in handoff procedure, minimizing source via node returns to the bag quantity that clears data of source evolution base station, save Radio Resource.
In the above-described embodiments, UE is switched to destination node from S-RN and mainly can be divided into following four kinds of situations: UE is switched to S-eNB from S-RN; UE is switched to T-eNB from S-RN; UE is switched to the T-RN of access T-eNB from S-RN; UE is switched to the T-RN of access S-eNB from S-RN.In addition, the decision of UE switching can be made by S-RN, also the decision of UE switching can be made by S-eNB.Below in conjunction with above-mentioned different situations, above-described embodiment is described in further detail.
Situation one, made the decision of UE switching by S-RN, UE is switched to S-eNB from S-RN
As shown in Figure 2, embodiment of the present invention switching handling method comprises:
201, UE sends measurement report to the source via node, and the source via node is made the switching decision according to measurement report and other wireless resource information, and selecting the source evolution base station is destination node.
202, the source via node sends handover request, the contextual information that this handover request comprises UE etc. to the source evolution base station.For example, this handover request can realize transmission by the message mode that uses X2 interface, also can realize transmission by adopting the RRC message mode.
203, after the source evolution base station receives this handover request, after determining that according to described handover request destination node is the source evolution base station, carry out access control, if determine and allow described subscriber equipment access according to described access control result, the source evolution base station stops removing the packet of subscriber equipment described in buffer memory, and stops sending to described source via node the packet of described subscriber equipment.
S-eNB can resolve this handover request after receiving the handover request sent by S-RN, obtains the information that destination node is S-eNB from this handover request.In addition, this handover request can also be carried destination address, and S-eNB, after receiving the handover request sent by S-RN, judges that the destination address of this handover request is self, resolves this handover request, obtains the information that destination node is S-eNB from this handover request.
In embodiments of the present invention, S-eNB stops removing the packet of UE described in buffer memory, S-eNB no matter its packet that mails to the UE of S-RN whether be correctly received, these the packet of buffer memory all no longer removed.Particularly, can be that S-eNB determines the moment that UE need to switch the zero hour that S-eNB stops removing the packet of UE described in buffer memory, can be also S-eNB determine that UE need to switch the time be carved into S-eNB and stop sending any time between moment of packet to S-RN, can also be the moment that S-eNB stops sending to S-RN packet.In addition, if S-eNB only stops removing the packet of the UE in buffer memory, do not stop sending packet to S-RN, S-eNB stop removing the zero hour of the packet of UE described in buffer memory can be S-eNB determine that described UE need to switch the time be carved into S-eNB and determine that described UE is allowed to any time between moment of switching, can be also that S-eNB determines that described UE is allowed to the moment of switching.
In situation one, S-eNB at least can stop sending to S-RN in following several moment the packet of described UE:
As aftermentioned S-eNB to the packet that stops sending to S-RN described UE after S-RN sends Handover Request Acknowledge;
Perhaps S-eNB also can stop sending to S-RN the packet of described UE when determining permission UE access;
S-eNB stops sending to S-RN the packet of described UE when perhaps also can lag behind a period of time T in the moment than determining permission UE access.
Can be also perhaps that S-RN sends switching command (or being referred to as to connect reconfiguration message with the RRC of mobility control information), by first, the sequence number from the new packet still also do not sent to UE received of S-eNB sends to S-eNB to S-RN; When S-eNB receives this sequence number information, stop sending to S-RN the packet of UE.
Perhaps S-RN can directly stop transfer request message to one of S-eNB transmission, and request S-eNB stops transmitting to S-RN the data of this UE.After receiving this message, S-eNB stops sending to S-RN the packet of this UE.
Can be also perhaps that S-eNB stops transfer request message to one of S-RN transmission, then S-RN sends an acknowledge message to S-eNB, stops sending to S-RN the packet of this UE after S-eNB receives this acknowledge message.
Can be also perhaps to stop sending to S-RN the packet of this UE when S-eNB receives the receiving state report of the UE that aftermentioned S-RN sends.
204, the source evolution base station sends Handover Request Acknowledge to the source via node.
205,, after the source via node receives the Handover Request Acknowledge sent by the source evolution base station, send the receiving state report of described subscriber equipment to the source evolution base station.
Particularly, S-RN can just stop sending packet and sending the receiving state report of this UE to S-eNB to UE when receiving Handover Request Acknowledge, also can send packet and send the receiving state report of this UE to S-eNB to UE stopping when UE sends switching command.In addition, S-eNB also can, when step 202 sends handover request, send to S-eNB by the receiving state report of described UE.
In embodiments of the present invention, the content of described receiving state report is under RLC affirmation mode and RLC Unacknowledged Mode, different:
For the RLC affirmation mode:
Described receiving state report can comprise that S-RN is to the sequence number of the last one or more new packet sent of UE and the accepting state of this packet, and the sequence number of by UE, not confirmed the correct packet received.Perhaps, described receiving state report also can comprise the sequence number of the one or more new packet that S-RN does not send at first to UE, and the sequence number of by UE, not confirmed the correct packet received.Perhaps, described receiving state report also can not carry the sequence number of by UE, not confirmed the correct packet received, and carries the sequence number of by UE, being confirmed the correct packet received.
In addition, described receiving state report can be a piece of news, can be also other forms, for example, S-RN sends one or more special terminating point packet to S-eNB, this terminating point packet comprises the sequence number of S-RN to the one or more new packet of the last transmission of UE, and this terminating point packet means current S-RN from which packet starts to stop to send data to UE.And, before S-RN comprises the termination packet that S-RN sends to UE in the status report sent to S-eNB and comprise these terminations data in wrapping in, by UE, confirmed the correctly sequence number of the packet of reception.
For the RLC Unacknowledged Mode:
Described receiving state report can comprise the sequence number of the one or more new packet that S-RN finally sends to UE or the sequence number of the one or more new packet that S-RN does not send at first to UE.
The sequence number of the packet of mentioning in the embodiment of the present invention, can be PDCP SDU (Packet Data Convergence Protocol Service Data Unit, the PDCP Service Data Unit) sequence number, perhaps RLC SDU (Radio Link Control Service Data Unit, wireless link service control data cell) sequence number, perhaps RLC PDU (Radio Link Control Protocol Data Unit, wireless link control protocol data cell) sequence number, it can be also the sequence number of the core network data bags such as RTP/UDP/IP/ESP.In addition, can be also a mapping table, in this mapping table, indicated not by the correct RLC PDU received of UE and the corresponding relation of the sequence number between other packets (as PDCP packet or core network data bag).
206,, after the source evolution base station receives described receiving state report, according to described receiving state report, remove redundant data bag in buffer memory.
In embodiments of the present invention, S-eNB, under RLC affirmation mode and RLC Unacknowledged Mode, determines the method difference of redundant data bag according to receiving state report:
For the RLC affirmation mode:
S-eNB can be according to S-RN to the sequence number of the last new packet sent of UE with not by the sequence number of the correct packet received of UE confirmation, and the sequence number of the packet of UE in buffer memory, before determining in buffer memory the sequence number of the packet that sequence number in the end sends, and not by UE, not confirmed the sequence number of the correct packet received, for by UE, being confirmed the correct packet received, using being removed as the redundant data bag by the correct packet received of UE confirmation of determining.Perhaps, the sequence number of the new packet that S-eNB can not send to UE at first according to S-RN yet and by UE, do not confirmed the sequence number of the packet of correct reception, and the sequence number of the packet of UE in buffer memory, determine and confirmed that by UE the correct packet received is also removed.
For the RLC Unacknowledged Mode:
The sequence number of the sequence number of the new packet that S-eNB can finally send to UE according to S-RN or the new packet do not sent at first, and the sequence number of the packet of UE in buffer memory, determine the packet sent to described UE in buffer memory, the packet sent to described UE of determining is removed as the redundant data bag.
207, the source evolution base station is when existing lost data packets according to described receiving state report is definite, determine the packet of losing according to described receiving state report, and sending packet loss message to described source via node, described packet loss message is carried the sequence number of the packet of described definite loss.
In embodiments of the present invention, S-eNB, under RLC affirmation mode and RLC Unacknowledged Mode, determines the method difference of the packet of losing according to receiving state report:
For the RLC affirmation mode:
The S-eNB basis is not by the sequence number of the packet of UE described in the sequence number of the correct packet received of UE confirmation and buffer memory, determine the non-existent packet of by described UE, being confirmed correct reception in buffer memory, using described definite packet correctly received by described UE confirmation as the packet of losing.Perhaps, S-eNB also can be according to by the sequence number of the packet of UE described in the sequence number of the correct packet received of UE confirmation and buffer memory, being determined the packet of losing.
For the RLC Unacknowledged Mode:
S-eNB is the sequence number to the last new packet sent of UE according to S-RN, and the sequence number of the packet of the described UE of buffer memory, determine the sequence number of the new packet that sequence number in the end sends and the packet between the sequence number of the packet of buffer memory at first, using described established data bag as the packet of losing.Perhaps, the sequence number of the new packet that S-eNB also can not send to UE at first according to S-RN, and the sequence number of the packet of the described UE of buffer memory, determine the packet of sequence number that sequence number is the new packet that do not send at first or the sequence number between the sequence number of the sequence number of the new packet do not sent at first and the packet of buffer memory at first, the packet using described established data bag as loss.
208, after the source via node receives described packet loss message, obtain the sequence number of the packet of loss from described packet loss message, according to the sequence number of the packet of described loss, send the packet of described loss to described source evolution base station.After the source evolution base station receives the packet of the described loss sent by described source via node, the packet of the described loss of buffer memory.
In addition, described subscriber equipment, after receiving the switching command sent by the source via node, is carried out the access to the source evolution base station.

301, UE sends measurement report to the source via node, and the source via node is made the switching decision according to measurement report and other wireless resource information, and the select target evolution base station is destination node.
Step 302 is with step 202.
303,, after the source evolution base station receives this handover request, determine that destination node is target evolution base station, is transmitted to target evolution base station by described handover request.
S-eNB can resolve this handover request after receiving the handover request sent by S-RN, obtains the information that destination node is T-eNB from this handover request, and described handover request is transmitted to T-eNB.
304,, after the handover request that target evolution base station reception sources evolution base station forwards, carry out access control.If the access control result is for allowing this subscriber equipment access, target evolution base station sends Handover Request Acknowledge to the source evolution base station.
305,, after the source evolution base station receives the Handover Request Acknowledge sent by described target evolution base station, according to described Handover Request Acknowledge, determine and allow described subscriber equipment access.The source evolution base station stops removing the packet of subscriber equipment described in buffer memory, and stops sending to described source via node the packet of described subscriber equipment.
In situation two, S-eNB at least can stop sending to S-RN in following several moment the packet of described UE:
As S-eNB to the packet that stops sending to S-RN this UE after S-RN forwards Handover Request Acknowledge.
Perhaps S-eNB also can stop sending to S-RN the packet of this UE when receiving the Handover Request Acknowledge that allows the UE access comprising of T-eNB transmission.
S-eNB stops sending to S-RN the packet of this UE when perhaps also can lag behind a period of time T in the moment than forward Handover Request Acknowledge to S-RN.
Can be also perhaps S-RN while sending switching command, S-RN can by first from S-eNB new receive but the sequence number of the packet also do not sent to UE send to S-eNB; When S-eNB receives this sequence number information, stop sending to S-RN the packet of this UE.
Perhaps S-RN can directly stop transfer request message to one of S-eNB transmission, and request S-eNB stops transmitting to S-RN the data of this UE.After receiving this message, S-eNB stops transmitting the data of this UE to S-RN.

S-eNB can, after receiving the lost data packets sent by S-RN, just send the packet of the described UE in buffer memory and the accepting state message of described UE to T-eNB.Perhaps, S-eNB also can be after UE successfully accesses T-eNB, send the packet of the described UE in buffer memory and the accepting state message of described UE to T-eNB, for example, after UE successfully accesses T-eNB, T-eNB sends data transfer request to S-eNB, after S-eNB receives described data transfer request, to T-eNB, sends the packet of the described UE in buffer memory and the accepting state message of described UE.
Particularly, the receiving state report of the UE that S-eNB can send according to S-RN, be not transmitted to T-eNB by all descending packets that correctly received by UE and the sequence number of these packets according to the order of sequence.In addition, S-eNB also can be by the new Packet Generation from the reception of S1 interface to T-eNB.
The receiving state report of this UE that S-eNB can receive from S-RN, be transmitted to T-eNB as accepting state message.Perhaps, S-eNB also can send a new accepting state message to T-eNB.In embodiments of the present invention, S-eNB is under RLC affirmation mode and RLC Unacknowledged Mode, and the content of the accepting state message sent to T-eNB is different:
For the RLC affirmation mode:
This accepting state message comprises that S-RN is to the sequence number of the last one or more new data packets that send of UE and the accepting state of this packet, or the sequence number of the one or more new packet that do not send at first to UE of S-RN.Perhaps, this accepting state message can comprise that T-eNB should be to first sequence number of new allocation of packets.
For the RLC Unacknowledged Mode:
This accepting state message comprises the sequence number of S-RN to the last one or more new data packets that send of UE, or the sequence number of the one or more new packet that do not send at first to UE of S-RN.

401, UE sends measurement report to the source via node, and the source via node is made the switching decision according to measurement report and other wireless resource information, and the target via node of select target evolution base station is destination node.
Step 402 is with step 302.
403, after the source evolution base station receives this handover request, determine the target via node that destination node is target evolution base station, described handover request is transmitted to target evolution base station.After the handover request that target evolution base station reception sources evolution base station forwards, described handover request is transmitted to the target via node.
S-eNB can resolve this handover request after receiving the handover request sent by S-RN, and obtaining destination node from this handover request is the information that is access in the T-RN of T-eNB, and described handover request is transmitted to T-RN.
404,, after the handover request that target via node receiving target evolution base station forwards, carry out access control.If the access control result is for allowing this subscriber equipment access, the target via node sends Handover Request Acknowledge to target evolution base station, and target evolution base station is transmitted to the source evolution base station by this Handover Request Acknowledge.
405,, after the source evolution base station receives this Handover Request Acknowledge, according to this Handover Request Acknowledge, determine and allow described subscriber equipment access.The source evolution base station stops removing the packet of subscriber equipment described in buffer memory, and stops sending to described source via node the packet of described subscriber equipment.
In situation three, S-eNB at least can stop sending to S-RN in following several moment the packet of described UE:
As S-eNB to the packet that stops sending to S-RN this UE after S-RN forwards Handover Request Acknowledge.
Perhaps S-eNB also can stop sending to S-RN the packet of this UE when receiving the Handover Request Acknowledge that allows the UE access comprising of T-eNB transmission.
S-eNB stops sending to S-RN the packet of this UE when perhaps also can lag behind a period of time T in the moment than forward Handover Request Acknowledge to S-RN.
Can be also perhaps S-RN while sending switching command, S-RN can by first from S-eNB new receive but the sequence number of the packet also do not sent to UE send to S-eNB; When S-eNB receives this sequence number information, stop sending to S-RN the packet of UE.
