Description

A kind of method and system that wakes home base station cells up
Technical field
The present invention relates to the radio honeycomb communication field, relate in particular to a kind of method and system that wakes home base station cells up.
Background technology
Along with development of wireless communication devices,, the notion of Home eNodeB has been proposed for the coverage that increases grand network and for the user improves high-speed data service.Home eNodeB is the general designation of traditional-family base station (HNB, Home NodeB) and evolved Home eNodeB (HeNB, Home evolved NodeB), abbreviates H (e) NB as.H (e) NB is a kind of small-sized, lower powered base station; Be deployed in indoor places such as family and office; It mainly acts on is in order higher service rate to be provided to the user and to reduce and use the needed expense of high rate services, remedying the deficiency that existing distributed cellular radio communication system covers simultaneously.The advantage of H (e) NB is economical, convenient, low-power output, plug and play etc.
The Home eNodeB user is through H (e) NB Access Network (AN; Access Network) is connected to the core net network; As depicted in figs. 1 and 2, Fig. 1 is the schematic network structure of HNB system in the prior art, and Fig. 2 is the schematic network structure of HeNB system in the prior art.Wherein (GW, Gateway) the common composition, the function that H (e) NB GW mainly carries out is H (e) NB AN: handle registration and the access control of H (e) NB, H (e) NB is verified, be responsible for the data of exchcange core net and H (e) NB by H (e) NB and H (e) NB gateway.H (e) MS (Home (e) NodeB Management System) system is the Home eNodeB management system; Home eNodeB is carried out operation maintenance management; According to Carrier Requirements configuration and control Home eNodeB, main be H (e) NB realization configuration management function, comprising the examining of positional information, carry out parameter configuration for H (e) NB; Be mainly concerned with core net (CN; Core Network) other parameter configuration of level, the parameter configuration of wireless access network (RAN, Radio Access Network) side and the parameter configuration of radio frequency (RF, Radio Frequency).For the HeNB system, HeNB can be not through HeNB GW and and Mobility Management Entity (MME, Mobile Management Entity) directly connect.
Along with the development of household base station technology, base station from home has been introduced the notion of closed signed user group (CSG, Close Subscriber Group).CSG is in order to carrying out grouping management to the user, and the prerequisite that the user belongs to a certain CSG is that international mobile subscriber identity (IMSI, International Mobile Subscriber Identity) and this CSG of its terminal equipment contracts.Be accompanied by the introducing of CSG notion, Home eNodeB has been introduced the notion to the CSG access module, and wherein, home base station access mode has three kinds, is respectively open (Open) access module, sealing (Close) access module and mixing (Hybrid) access module.Access module is the Home eNodeB of Open, allows signatory and non-contracted user to insert, and is as good as with normal macrocell; Access module is the Home eNodeB of Close, and only the signatory user of permission and this CSG inserts; And be the Home eNodeB of Hybrid for access module; Though allow signatory and non-contracted user to insert simultaneously; But contracted user's resource is superior to non-contracted user on using; Under the situation of resource anxiety, the Home eNodeB Priority Service might switch to non-contracted user other sub-district or discharge its signaling connection in the contracted user.Wherein, judges equipment (UE, User Equipment) is during with which kind of identity access network, can insert CSG tabulation (Allowed CSG List) according to the permission of UE and accomplish.Allowed CSG list is the information list of the signatory all CSG of UE, is stored in network side and UE respectively.If the CSG under the Home eNodeB that UE inserts is in the Allowed of UE CSG List, then UE gets into CSG contracted user identity; Otherwise the access of UE gets into the signatory identity of non-CSG.

As shown in Figure 4, concrete realization operation is described below:
UE is arranged in sub-district cell 1 and is in connected state, know UE near the home base station cells cell 2 of resident mistake once through methods such as footprint, but UE does not detect the signal of this sub-district (being cell 2).UE can notify base station 1 (being source base station) through the mode of PI information with the information that individual sub-district (being cell 2) should be arranged here.UE sends PI information to base station 1 (step 401); In PI information except the frequency point information that comprises cell 2; Also include ECGI, TAI, CSG sign, location info with the next item down or multinomial content: cell 2; But should there be the sub-district in the positional information of UE receive the indication information etc. of signal.
Cell 2 after this PI information is received in base station 1, closes, can carry out the checking (step 402) of positional information, if then can be opened in the position of the cell 2 that UE reports near cell 1 owing to energy-conservation if know sub-district cell 2; A request message (step 403) that activates cell 2 is sent to MME in base station 1; The global identity (Global id) and the TAI that contain target side in this request message; Global identity of source (Global id) and TAI, and in the information such as ECGI of cell 2, CSG sign, location info one or multinomial.The target side here is meant the Home eNodeB HeNB2 under the cell 2, and source is meant base station 1.
Further, if reported the current position of UE in the PI information, then base station 1 needs judge that the current position of UE whether near cell 2, if not nearby, then do not send the request message of activation cell 2 to MME.
MME sends the GW (step 404) of this request message to HeNB2 after receiving the request message that activates cell 2, and is optional; GW can carry out the checking of a positional information; The positional information of this cell 2 of reporting of checking UE whether with GW in the positional information consistent (step 405) of the cell 2 that preserves, if positional information is consistent, then the request message of forwarding activation cell 2 is to target HeNB; Be HeNB2 (step 406), otherwise this home base station cells wakeup process finish.
After HeNB2 receives the request message of this activation cell 2; Optional; Carry out the checking (step 407) of location info, whether the positional information of checking cell 2 is correct, if correctly then get into open mode; Normal network service can be provided, and return and wake response message up to GW (step 408).GW will wake response message up and be back to base station 1 (step 409~410) through MME, thereby base station 1 is learnt cell 2 and waken up.If the positional information failure of HeNB2 checking cell 2; HeNB2 can turn back to base station 1 with correct location info; This wakes the Global id and the TAI of the Global id that contains target side in the response message and TAI, source up so, and in the information such as ECGI of cell 2, CSG sign, location info one or multinomial.
Optional, base station 1 can send to UE through idle message after receiving correct location info, and UE can carry out the renewal (step 411) of footprint information; Perhaps, the positional information mistake of its cell that reports 2 of UE also can only be notified in base station 1.
Further, if base station 1 is to belong to the Home eNodeB under the same GW with HeNB2, the request message that then activates cell 2 with wake response message up and need not come transfer through MME.
Further,, but directly be connected, then activate the request message of cell 2 and wake response message up and need not come transfer through GW with MME if HeNB2 is not connected with GW, GW also not executing location verify.
In embodiments of the invention two, adopt above-mentioned positional information verification mode two, whether the position of source base station checking UE is positioned near the Target cell, and whether checking target home base station cells is near the sub-district of the now resident source base station of UE; MME obtains the positional information of Target cell, and whether the positional information of the Target cell that returns of the positional information of the Target cell that in PI information, reports of checking UE and target Home eNodeB is consistent.
As shown in Figure 5, concrete realization operation is described below:
UE is arranged in sub-district cell 1 and is in connected state, know UE near the home base station cells cell 2 of resident mistake once through methods such as footprint, but UE does not detect the signal of this sub-district (being cell 2).UE can notify base station 1 (being source base station) through the mode of PI information with the information that individual sub-district (being cell 2) should be arranged here.UE sends PI information to base station 1 (step 501); In PI information except the frequency point information that comprises cell 2; Also contain ECGI, TAI, CSG sign, location info with the next item down or multinomial content: cell 2; But should there be the sub-district in the positional information of UE receive the indication information etc. of signal.
Cell 2 after this PI information is received in base station 1, closes, then can carry out the checking (step 502) of positional information, if then can be opened in the position of the cell 2 that UE reports near cell 1 owing to energy-conservation if know sub-district cell 2; A request message (step 503) that activates cell 2 is sent to MME in base station 1; The Global id and the TAI that contain target side in this request message; The Global id and the TAI of source, and in the information such as ECGI of cell 2, CSG sign, location info one or multinomial.The target side here is meant the Home eNodeB HeNB2 under the cell 2, and source is meant base station 1.
Further, if reported the current position of UE in the PI information, then base station 1 needs judge that the current position of UE whether near cell 2, if not nearby, then do not send the request message of activation cell 2 to MME.
After MME receives the request message that activates cell 2, obtain the positional information (step 504~505) of cell 2 to target HeNB2; And utilize the positional information of the cell 2 that target HeNB2 returns to verify (step 506); Whether the positional information of the cell 2 that checking UE reports is consistent with the positional information of the cell 2 that target HeNB2 returns; If it is consistent; The request message that then send to activate cell 2 wakes (step 507~508) up to target HeNB2, otherwise finishes to wake up flow process.
Further, the checking of this positional information can realize that also GW can obtain the positional information of cell 2 to target HeNB2 at GW, utilizes the positional information of the cell 2 that target HeNB2 returns to verify.Whether the positional information of the cell 2 that reports of checking UE is consistent with the positional information of the cell 2 that target HeNB2 returns, if consistent, then the request message of transmission activation cell 2 wakes up to target HeNB2.Optional, GW also can obtain the positional information of cell 2 from webmaster.
Optional, MME can send to base station 1 with correct location info, and base station 1 can send to UE, and UE can carry out the renewal of footprint information; Perhaps, the positional information mistake of its cell that reports 2 of UE also can only be notified in base station 1.
After HeNB2 receives the request message of this activation cell 2, get into state of activation, and return and wake response message to base station 1 up, notice activates successfully (step 509~511).Wake the Global id and the TAI that contain target side in the response message up, the Global id and the TAI of source, and in the information such as ECGI of cell 2, CSG sign, location info one or multinomial.
Further, if base station 1 is to belong to the Home eNodeB under the same GW with HeNB2, the request message that then activates cell 2 with wake response message up and need not come transfer through MME, can only need GW to carry out location verification, not executing location checking of MME.
Further, if HeNB2 is not connected with GW, but directly be connected with MME, then activate the request message of cell 2 and wake response message up and need not come transfer through GW, can only need MME to carry out location verification, GW not executing location verifies.
In embodiments of the invention three, adopt above-mentioned CSG verification mode one, MME and/or GW carry out the checking of CSG, just carry out the access control of UE; The target Home eNodeB carries out the verification of correctness of CSG sign.When this mode just is the member of home base station cells to UE, just activate home base station cells.
