Description

Identify the method and system of ultimate access node
Technical field
The present invention relates to the identification technology of ultimate access node, relate in particular to a kind of method and system that identify ultimate access node.
Background technology
Fig. 1 is the configuration diagram of E-UTRAN system; As shown in Figure 1; 3G (Third Generation) Moblie Long Term Evolution (LTE, Long Term Evolution) system is by universal land radio access web (E-UTRAN, Evolved Universal Terrestrial Radio Access Network), the subscriber equipment (UE of evolution; User Equipment), the packet-based core networks of evolution (EPC, Evolved Packet Core) are formed.Wherein, E-UTRAN is made up of the access network elements base station eNB.ENB is connected with UE through the Uu interface, connects through S1 interface and core network element (like Mobility Management Entity (MME, Mobility Management Entity)).
In order to satisfy the demand that growing big bandwidth high-speed mobile inserts; Third generation partnership project (3GPP; Third Generation Partnership Projects) releases senior Long Term Evolution (LTE-Advanced, Long Term Evolution-Advanced) standard.LTE-Advanced has kept the core of LTE for the evolution of LTE system, adopts a series of technology that frequency domain, spatial domain are expanded on this basis, improves the availability of frequency spectrum to reach, increases purposes such as power system capacity.Wireless relay (Relay) technology promptly is one of technology among the LTE-Advanced, is intended to the coverage of Extended Cell, reduces the area, dead angle in the communication, balanced load, the business of transfer hot zones, the transmitting power of saving UE.
Fig. 2 is for the configuration diagram of the E-UTRAN system of the ultimate access node of support (RN, Relay Node), and is as shown in Figure 2, and RN is connected with UE through the Uu interface, and the function of base station is provided.In addition, RN is connected with the base station through the Un interface, and the function of subscriber equipment is provided.The base station that is connected with RN is called host base station (DeNB, Donor eNB), and the host base station is connected with core network element (like MME) through the S1 interface.RN is connected with core network element (like MME) through host base station agency (proxy) S1 interface.Thereby be implemented in the relay function that between RN and the base station, between the UE of RN and himself management, carries out transfer of data; Reach the coverage of Extended Cell, reduce the area, dead angle in the communication, balanced load; Shift the business of hot zones, save the purposes such as transmitting power at terminal.
Because RN acts on behalf of the S1 interface through the host base station and is connected with MME, so MME can't be from the information of S1 interface acquisition RN, and in other words, MME can't discern the eNB ID of RN.Causing target BS thus is the S1 switching flow failure of RN.Fig. 3 is the flow chart of the S1 handoff failure of RN for target BS, and is as shown in Figure 3, and the flow process of the S1 handoff failure of RN is specific as follows:
Source base station sends HANDOVER REQUIRED and gives MME, wherein carries the eNB ID of target BS RN.
Because MME can't discern the eNB ID of RN, therefore to feed back HANDOVER PREPARATION FAILURE and give source base station, the reason (Cause) of wherein carrying failure is " Unknown Target ID ".
In order to address the above problem, require the eNB ID of RN consistent, thereby in the S1 handoff procedure, MME is target BS that the switching that target BS is DeNB is used as in the switching of RN, and hand off signaling is dealt on the DeNB, the route success with the eNB ID of DeNB.And DeNB from and RN between the S1 interface set up continue to transmit this hand off signaling to RN, and accomplish switching flow.
But; RN will cause occurring in the S1 flow process a series of problems, for example with after the eNB ID of DeNB is consistent; In the process that the S1 of RN sets up; All RN in the DeNB jurisdiction district adopt the eNB ID consistent with DeNB, and DeNB can't distinguish and which RN set up S1 with and be connected, and cause S1 to connect and set up failure.
At target BS is in the S1 handoff procedure of RN; MME issues DeNB according to the eNB ID information that UE is relevant; But when DeNB sends to target RN in the information that UE is relevant; Because the sign of target RN is merely eNB ID, DeNB can't the information that UE is relevant send to target RN, cause handoff failure.

Ultimate access node for self configuring external label manner is:
Mode one, the corresponding relation of one or more higher level's access nodes that pre-configured ultimate access node can insert and higher level's access node and outside sign.Ultimate access node selects one of them higher level's access node to insert according to the principle of cell selecting/gravity treatment, and is configured to the outside sign of ultimate access node to corresponding outside sign.For example, outside sign is the Base Station Identification of higher level's access node, and (Node 1 for one or more higher level's access nodes that pre-configured ultimate access node can insert; Node 2 ..., Node n) and higher level's access node relevant base station sign (eNB ID 1; ENB ID 2 ..., eNB ID n).Ultimate access node has selected higher level's access node Node x to insert according to the principle of cell selecting/gravity treatment, and the Base Station Identification eNB ID x of higher level's access node Node x is configured to the outside sign of ultimate access node so.
Mode two; One or more higher level's access nodes that the OAM system of ultimate access node can insert ultimate access node; And higher level's access node sends to ultimate access node with the outside corresponding relation that identifies; Ultimate access node selects one of them higher level's access node to insert according to the principle of cell selecting/gravity treatment, and is configured to the outside sign of ultimate access node to corresponding outside sign.For example, outside sign is the Base Station Identification of higher level's access node.
Step 1, ultimate access node is connected with the OAM of ultimate access node through access network node.Said access network node can be higher level's access node of ultimate access node.
Step 2, ultimate access node be from said OAM data download, and (Node 1 comprising one or more higher level's access nodes that ultimate access node can insert; Node 2 ..., Node n) and higher level's access node relevant base station sign (eNB ID 1; ENB ID 2 ..., eNB ID n).
Step 3, ultimate access node has selected higher level's access node Nodex to insert according to the principle of cell selecting/gravity treatment.If the access network node in the step 1 is not said Node x, so ultimate access node break off with said access network node between be connected, and connect with Node x.If the access network node in the step 1 is said Node x, so ultimate access node keep with higher level's access node between be connected.The Base Station Identification eNB ID x of higher level's access node Node x is configured to the outside sign of ultimate access node so.
The internal indicator of ultimate access node is by the configuration of higher level's access node, perhaps by ultimate access node self configuration, perhaps pre-configured (as artificially pre-configured).
Higher level's access node is that the internal indicator of ultimate access node configuration is that (sub-district that the TA that supports like ultimate access point or higher level's access point of ultimate access point are had jurisdiction over) is unique in certain setting range, and the mode of configuration has:
Mode one, what know access at higher level's access node is (core net notice or ultimate access node notice) after the ultimate access node, higher level's access node is ultimate access node configuration internal indicator.Fig. 4 is method one sketch map of ultimate node configuration internal indicator for higher level's access node, and is as shown in Figure 4, may further comprise the steps:
Step 1, ultimate access node are set up RRC with higher level's access node and are connected, and the optional ultimate access node identity with self of ultimate access node is notified the higher level access node in this process.
Step 2, ultimate access node is initiated Non-Access Stratum (NAS, Non Access Stratum) flow process (as adhering to (Attach), tracing section updating (TAU, Tracking Area Update), service request (SR, Service Request)).
Step 3, core network element carries out safety certification to ultimate access node.
Step 4 after the safety certification success, is carried out the context of ultimate access node and is set up between higher level's access node of core network element MME and RN.In this process; Core net is optional, and what notify that higher level's access node inserts is ultimate access node; For example core network element MME notifies the higher level access node through S1 message (INITIAL CONTEXT SETUP REQUEST), and higher level's access node confirms that according to the SPID that wherein carries the node that inserts is ultimate access node.
Step 5; Through the information that obtains in step 1 or the step 4; Higher level's access node is known the ultimate access node identity of access node, and (connect reallocation message like RRC, S1 sets up message to send dedicated signaling; X2 sets up message etc.) give ultimate access node, wherein carry the internal indicator of ultimate access node.
Mode two, after receiving the request message that ultimate access node sends, higher level's access node is ultimate access node configuration internal indicator according to described request message.Fig. 5 is the method two sketch map of ultimate node configuration internal indicator for higher level's access node, and is as shown in Figure 5, may further comprise the steps:
Step 1, ultimate access node send a request message to higher level's access node, and request higher level access node is ultimate access node configuration internal indicator.
Described request message comprise following one of at least: the type of ultimate access node, higher level's access node information that ultimate access node can insert, the working frequency range of ultimate access node.In the TA scope that ultimate access node is supported, described request message also comprises the TAC of the TA that ultimate access node is supported.
For example, the type of RN comprise following one of at least: Type 1/1a/1b; (inband)/band outer (outband) in the band; Time division duplex/non-time division duplex.
The information of higher level's access node comprise following one of at least: Base Station Identification (eNB ID), cell ID (PCI (Physical Cell Identity)/Cell Identity/Cell ID/ECGI (E-UTRAN Cell Global Identifier)); Working frequency range; Descending frequency; Up frequency.

In the scope of the TA that ultimate access node is supported, higher level's access node is unique sign in the ultimate access node configuration TA scope.
Ultimate access node is unique in certain setting range (sub-district that the TA that supports like ultimate access point or higher level's access point of ultimate access point are had jurisdiction over) for the internal indicator of self configuration, and the mode of configuration has:
Mode one, after receiving the message of carrying one or more internal indicators that higher level's access node sends, ultimate access node is therefrom selected one of which at random, and notifies the higher level access node through the upstream message feedback.
Method two; In the system information of ultimate access node, carry under the situation of internal indicator; Ultimate access node receives the system information of other the ultimate access nodes in certain setting range (sub-district that the TA that supports like ultimate access point or higher level's access point of ultimate access point are had jurisdiction over), thereby obtains the internal indicator of said other ultimate access nodes.Ultimate access node also can be through obtaining the internal indicator of said other ultimate access nodes with the direct interface message of other ultimate access nodes.Ultimate access node selects to be different from the internal indicator of said other ultimate access nodes for self, and notifies the higher level access node through the upstream message feedback.
Alternatively; Higher level's access node is received said upstream message feedback; If said internal indicator is not taken by other the ultimate access nodes in certain setting range (sub-district that the TA that supports like ultimate access point or higher level's access point of ultimate access point are had jurisdiction over); Then higher level's access node feeding back ACK representes that ultimate access node is for self distributing said internal indicator success.Otherwise; If said internal indicator is taken by other the ultimate access nodes in certain setting range (sub-district that the TA that supports like ultimate access point or higher level's access point of ultimate access point are had jurisdiction over); Then higher level's access node feedback NACK representes that ultimate access node is for self distributing said internal indicator failure.
Ultimate access node is under the situation of self distributing said internal indicator failure; Ultimate access node is reselected until distributing successfully; Perhaps higher level's access node is informed the internal indicator (being that the internal indicator that higher level's access node is selected substitutes the internal indicator that ultimate access node is selected) that ultimate access node can be used in feedback NACK, and then ultimate access node adopts said internal indicator.
The internal indicator of pre-configured ultimate access node is that the whole network is unique, like SPID.After ultimate access node and higher level's access node connected, ultimate access node was notified the higher level access node with pre-configured internal indicator.

Step 203, higher level's access node are received said handoff request message, are the ultimate access nodes of cell ID addressing of ultimate access node according to internal indicator, send S1 handoff request message (HANDOVER REQUEST) and give ultimate access node.
Step 204 if ultimate access node allows UE to insert the jurisdiction district, is then sent switching request acknowledgement message (HANDOVER REQUEST ACKNOWLEDGE) and is given higher level's access node.Otherwise,, then send switch failure information (HANDOVER FAILURE) and give higher level's access node if ultimate access node does not allow UE to insert the jurisdiction district.
Higher level's access node according to the switching request acknowledgement message in the step 204 or switch failure information to the handoff request message feedback received in the step 203 (if promptly higher level's access node is received switching request acknowledgement message then is fed back switching request acknowledgement message; Feed back switch failure information if higher level's access node is received switch failure information), perhaps direct handoff request message feedback to receiving in the step 203.
MME requires message feedback to the feedback message of the handoff request message in the step 203 to the switching in the step 201 according to higher level's access node; If higher level's access node feedback is switching request acknowledgement message; Then MME sends switching command (HANDOVER COMMAND) and gives source base station; If higher level's access node feedback is switch failure information, then MME sends to switch and prepares failed message (HANDOVER PREPARATION FAILURE) to source base station.
Switching under the preparation case of successful, source base station is transmitted to UE with the relevant information in the switching command, and UE begins to switch to the flow process of ultimate access node jurisdiction district.
