Technical field
The present invention relates to mobile communication technology field, more particularly to a kind of motion management method of direct tunnel, network element (including Serving GPRS Support Node (SGSN) and Gateway GPRS Support Node (GGSN)) and system.
Background technology
Existing WCDMA (Wideband Code Division Multiple Access, referred to as WCDMA) System is to be currently based on important system and method that wireless WCDMA technologies realize service access.The core net framework of WCDMA is as schemed Shown in 1, including service GPRS (General Packet Radio Service, general packet radio service) node (Serving GPRS Support Node, referred to as SGSN), critical point GPRS nodes (Gateway GPRS Support Node, referred to as GGSN) and the home subscriber signing network element such as depositor, the homing position in 2G (Generation Mobile Telecommunication System technology) is posted herein Home subscriber server (Home Subscriber in storage (Home Location Register, referred to as HLR) and 3G Server, referred to as HSS) home subscriber signing depositor is referred to as, represented with HLR/HSS.Due to existing TD-SCDMA (Time Division-Synchronous Code Division Multiple Access, TD SDMA) core network Using with WCDMA same architectures, following WCDMA system refers to WCDMA and TD-SCDMA.
SGSN is a basic composition network element of GPRS network, is to provide for gprs service and in global system for mobile telecommunications The new net introduced in system (Globle System for Mobile Communication, referred to as GSM) network Element device.Mainly complete the routing forwarding of packet data package, mobile management, session management, Logical Link Management, authentication and add The function such as close.
GGSN provides data message and nets the route between inner and outer portion's data network and encapsulation in WCDMA, plays gateway effect, it Adhere to the routing iinformation of user including PS, routing iinformation is used for the current attachment point data message tunnel to MS, i.e. SGSN.
HLR/HSS is used to store the packet domain subscription data and routing iinformation of user.
RNC is radio network controller (Radio Network Controller), is the ingredient of wireless access network, For providing mobile management, call treatment, url management and handover mechanism.3GPP23.060R7 versions and after, introduce Direct tunnel (direct tunnel) technology, can directly set up media surface tunnel, medium surface data between RNC and GGSN Without again through SGSN forwardings.
Node B are base station (radio receiving-transmitting units), are communicated with UE by Uu interfaces.
One key property of mobile network is that the seriality that business is still kept during terminal is persistently moved is received and dispatched, Here it is handoff functionality.For WCDMA core nets, handoff functionality is in reorientation flow process and 2G, 3G intersystem handover Realize, reorientation flow process is discussed herein primarily, be not related to 2G, 3G intersystem handover problem.
Reorientation flow process complete access path that user makes data in core net during using business datum with Terminal location changes and changes, so as to ensure the seriality of business.Reorientation flow process is most complicated in mobile communication core net Flow process.It is related to data forwarding, the function of routing update.
Reorientation flow process is divided into by the scene for occurring:
- SRNS Serving Radio Network Subsystem (Service Radio Network Subsystem, SRNS) reorientation;
- united direct-cut operation and SRNS reorientations;
- cell/URA (UTRAN Registration Area, UTRAN registration areas) associated update and SRNS reorientations;
- Routing Area Update;
- SRNS reorientations are cancelled.
Service SRNS repositioning process
Service SRNS repositioning process is only in PMM-CONNECTED (packet domain mobile management-connection) in MS (terminal) Perform during state, Iur interfaces are used to transmit control signaling and user data.
Service SRNS repositioning process is used in UTRAN ((Universal Terrestrial Radio Access Network, UMTS wireless access network) side, from one " fixed resting position ", UTRAN moves to from source RNC to Target RNC CN junction points.In this process, Iu links are reorientations.If Target RNC is connected to same with what source RNC was connected On SGSN, then the internal repositioning process of SGSNSRNS (SRNS Serving Radio Network Subsystem) is performed, and the process does not do SGSN switchings. Otherwise, if Target RNC is connected on different SGSN from source RNC, the service SRNS reorientations for doing SGSN handoff scenarios are needed Journey.
Fig. 2 a show source RNC (Serving RNC) and Target RNC is connected to the repositioning of RNC when on different SGSN.Figure 2b show SRNS repositioning process and Routing Area Update process after the completion of situation.
After service SRNS repositioning process and RA (Routing Area, Route Area) update, MS is registered in new SGSN, MS PMM-CONNECTED states are in for new SGSN, Target RNC will be used as Serving RNC.
Service SRNS repositioning process is shown in the explanation (based on the R7 of 3GPP TS 23.060 and later version) of Fig. 3, including weight Positioning set-up procedure, reorientation implementation procedure and reorientation complete process, it is specific as follows:
Step 301:Source RNC determines to initiate SRNS reorientations;
Step 302:Source RNC send reorientation (Relocation Required) message (comprising reorientation type, reason, Source ID, Target id, source RNC to Target RNC Transparent Container etc.) original SGSN is given, initiate reorientation set-up procedure.
Wherein, source includes that necessary information, security functionality and RRC agreements are coordinated in reorientation to Target RNC Transparent Container Contextual information (including UE capacity).
Step 303:Former SGSN is according to Target cell ID, if it is determined that SRNS reorientations are the SRNS reorientations between SGSN, Send " forwarding re-positioning request (Forward Relocation Required) " message and, to new SGSN, initiate reorientation resource Assigning process.
Step 304a:New SGSN sends RELOCATION REQUEST message to Target RNC.
The RELOCATION REQUEST message includes permanent NAS (Non-Access Stratum) UE identifiers (such as international mobile subscriber identity IMSI), reason, CN domains indicator, the transparent vessel of source RNC to Target RNC and the RAB (Radio to be arranged Access Bearer, referred to as RAB) etc..
The user plane IP address and TEID that GGSN is also carried in the request message sets up direct tunnel for RNC and GGSN.
Step 304b:Target RNC receive all necessary resources of RAB including Iu user planes into after the distribution of work, set up with it is new The RAB of SGSN is carried, and is sent re-positioning request and is confirmed (Relocation Request Acknowledge) message to new SGSN;
Step 305:The resource that user data is transmitted between Target RNC and new SGSN is distributed, and new SGSN is After the reorientation of SRNS is ready, new SGSN sends " forwarding relocation response (Forward Relocation Response) " message is to original SGSN;So far, reorientation resource allocation process is successfully terminated.
Step 306:Former SGSN sends and resets order of the bit (Relocation Command) message to new RNC, continues SRNS Reorientation;
Reorientation command messages include:The RAB the to be discharged and RAB restricted by data forwarding.Former SGSN is according to service Quality (Quality of Service, referred to as QoS) determines the RAB by data forwarding restriction.
Step 307:Source RNC is received after reorientation command messages from ps domain, and log-on data repeating timer, source RNC is opened Begin forwarding data.
Data forwarding in SRNS reorientations should be performed by Iu interfaces, it is meant that between source SRNC and Target RNC Data exchange is replicated in the SRNC of source, and is sent to Target RNC in IP layers.
Step 308:When reorientation set-up procedure is by successful termination, and source RNC is ready, and source RNC is by sending " mesh To source RNC transparent vessels, " RRC (wireless heterogeneous networks) message of middle offer triggers the execution of SRNS reorientations to mark RNC to MS.
Above-mentioned RRC information such as can be physical channel reconfiguration message (Physical Channel Reconfiguration), UE information words and CN transparent vessels are carried in message.
Step 309:When reorientation execution triggering is received, Target RNC should send relocation detect-message to new SGSN. When relocation detect-message is sent, Target RNC should start source RNC operations.
Step 310:Target SRNC to source RNC sends RAN mobility informations, including Location Area Identification and route cell mark Know etc., also including the serial number between terminal and SRNC.After receiving this information, terminal starts to send upper line number to Target RNC According to bag.
After terminal completes to reconfigure, send RAN mobility informations to Target RNC and confirm message, it does to notify Target RNC Receive the preparation of downlink data well.
Step 311:Target SRNC initiates reorientation complete process by sending reorientation completion message to new SGSN, wherein Target SRNC address is carried, if direct tunnel mode, target SRNC address medium face ground is carried in reorientation completion message Location, target SRNC media surface tunnel endpoint identifier (TEID).
Step 312:If SRNC reorientations are the reorientations between SGSN, new SGSN sends forwarding reorientation completion message To former SGSN.Former SGSN returns the confirmation of the reorientation completion message to forwarding.
Step 313:If SRNS reorientations are the reorientations between SGSN SRNS, or SRNS reorientations are SGSN SRNS The reorientation of interior use direct tunnel, new SGSN sends and updates PDP (Packet Data Protocol Context, packet Data protocol) context request message (wherein carries new SGSN addresses, SGSN tunnel endpoint identifiers, for the mesh of medium surface Mark RNC addresses, RNCTEID discusses and decides QoS) to correlation GGSN;If direct tunnel mode, on the renewal PDP that new SGSN sends New SGSN control plane addresses, new SGSN chains of command tunnel endpoint identifier, Target RNC address medium are hereafter carried in request message Face address, Target RNC media surface tunnel endpoint identifier and DTI indicate and discuss and decide the relevant informations such as QoS to related GGSN, GGSN updates their PDP Context field, and returns renewal PDP Context response (Update PDP Context Response) message, carries GGSN tunnel endpoint identifiers etc..
Step 314:After receiving forwarding reorientation completion message, former SGSN sends Iu release commands (Iu Release Command) message gives source RNC, and when RNC data forwarding intervalometers expire, source RNC responds an Iu releases and completes (Iu Release Complete) message;
Step 315:MS is completed after re-configuration process, if new Routing Area Identifier is different with former, MS can be initiated Routing Area Update process.
Routing Area Update process is in order to the current positional informationes of MS are registered in into new SGSN, and by new SGSN information updatings To in HLR.The a subset of the RA renewal processes that the Routing Area Update part in this flow process is only carried out, because MS is in PMM- CONNECTED states.
Joint direct-cut operation and SRNS repositioning process
Joint direct-cut operation and SRNS reorientations are used between RNC without Iur interfaces, and the process is only moved in MS in packet domain Perform during dynamic management-connection (PMM-CONNECTED) state.
When joint direct-cut operation and SRNS repositioning process are used to perform the direct-cut operation determined by UTRAN, in UTRAN sides from source UTRAN is moved to CN (core net) junction point by RNC to Target RNC.In this process, Iu links are relocated.If mesh Mark RNC and source RNC is connected on same SGSN, then the repositioning process inside SGSN SRNS is performed.If Target RNC connects The SGSN that the SGSN being connected to is connected to from source RNC is different, then the SRNS repositioning process between SGSN is performed.Perform this process Followed by perform the Routing Area Update process between SGSN.
Cell/URA associated updates and SRNS repositioning process
This process is only that the MS in PMM-CONNECTED states is performed, and here Iur carries control signaling but without use User data.
When cell/URA associated updates and SRNS reorientations are reselected for performing cell in utran, in UTRAN sides UTRAN is moved to into CN junction points from source SRNC to Target RNC.In this process, Iu links are relocated.
Routing Area Update
When the MS of attachment is detected, it has been enter into new RA or periodicity RA updates intervalometer and expires, and need to just carry out Route Area more Newly.
SGSN also manages front RA by finding it, and it is Routing Area Update inside SGSN to detect it.In this case, SGSN has a necessary information of MS, thus need not be new MS position informing GGSN or HLR, so GGSN switchings will not be done, no It is the content of this patent, this patent describes the Routing Area Update between SGSN-spanning.In Routing Area Update between SGSN-spanning, only MS Not in PMM connection status, new SGSN just sends PDP Context and updates request to GGSN, and in PMM connection status, PDP Context is more Change request to complete in service SRNS repositioning process or joint direct-cut operation and SRNS repositioning process.
Routing Area Update flow process is shown in Fig. 4 (based on 3GPP TS 23.060R6 versions), specific as follows:
Step 401, if RRC connections are also not set up, sets up RRC connections.MS sends Routing Area Update request message (P- TMSI, front RAI, front P-TMSI signature, updating type, Follow on Request) arrive new SGSN.
Step 402, if RA renewals are the Routing Area Updates between SGSN, and in PMM-IDLE, (packet domain is moved before MS Dynamic management-idle) state, new SGSN sends SGSN context request messages (front P-TMSI, front RAI, front P-TMSI signature) and arrives Former SGSN, obtains the MM and PDP Context of MS.
Step 402a, former SGSN to source SRNS send SRNS context request messages, and obtain SRNS context requests should Answer.
Step 403, former SGSN to new SGSN sends SGSN context request responses.
Step 404, safe handling function.
Step 405, if it is Routing Area Update between SGSN that RA updates, new SGSN send SGSN contexts confirm message to Former SGSN.
Step 406, former SGSN to source SRNS sends data forwarding order.
Step 407, if in step 402a, source SRNS has the data of caching, then source SRNS forwards data to former SGSN.
Step 408, former SGSN to new SGSN forwards data.
Step 409, if it is Routing Area Update between SGSN that RA updates, and MS is not in PMM connection status, new SGSN to Former GGSN sends and updates PDP Context request (also referred to as PDP Context change request) message, and former GGSN to new SGSN sends PDP Context changes response.
Step 410, if it is that RA between SGSN updates that RA updates, new SGSN by send more new position (SGSN numbers, SGSN addresses, IMSI) HLR is given, the change of SGSN is notified HLR.
Step 411, if RA renewals are the RA between SGSN updated, HLR sends canceling position (Cancel Location) (IMSI cancels type), to original SGSN, former SGSN discharges original Iu resources.
Step 412, if RA renewals are the Routing Area Updates between SGSN, HLR sends insertion user data (IMSI, signing Data) message give new SGSN.
Step 413, if RA renewals are the RA between SGSN updated, HLR is by sending Update Location Ack (IMSI) confirmed to new SGSN.
Step 414 to step 419 is wireless side routing update process.
Industry is currently suggested various new mobile management technologies, and its essential idea is user identity and position separating skill Art.Existing relevant identity and position separating (Subscriber Identifier & Locator in prior art Separation Network, SILSN) solution, it is such as Host Based to realize such as HIP technologies, and based on router Realization such as location identity separated protocol (LISP) technology, the multiple technologies for having correlation again in every kind of realization are supported, these The identity (text in be expressed as AID) of terminal use in scheme does not change in moving process, according to the position of terminal separately Dispensing position identifies (be expressed as RID in text) to realize route and the forwarding of data message.
Fig. 5 shows the network architecture of a kind of identity and position separating (SILSN), and the network of the SILSN frameworks is opened up Flutter and be divided on topological relation access network and backbone network without overlapping, access network is located at the edge of backbone network, is responsible for all ends The access at end, backbone network is responsible for the route of the inter-terminal data message for accessing and forwarding.In network, users of the AID as terminal Identity, remains constant in terminal moving process;RID is the station location marker that network is terminal distribution, in backbone network Use.It should be noted that identity and station location marker can have different titles in different SILSN frameworks, but essence is The same.
In SILSN frameworks, terminal can be one or more in mobile terminal, fixed terminal and roam terminals, such as handss Machine, landline telephone, computer and server etc..
In SILSN frameworks, access network is used to provide two layers (physical layer and link layer) access means, maintenance terminal for terminal Physics access link between ASR.
In SILSN frameworks, the main network elements of backbone network include:
Access service router (Access Service Router, ASR) is the edge router of backbone network, for for Terminal distribution RID, the AID-RID map informations of maintenance terminal, the AID-RID bindings that terminal is registered and inquired about to ILR are closed System, and realize route and forwarding of data message etc..Terminal must access backbone network through ASR.ASR is the RID of terminal distribution Address information comprising the ASR, points in other words this ASR, during using the RID as the destination address of data message, the datagram Text will be routed to the ASR.
Generic router (Common Router, CR), the core router of backbone network, for according in data message RID carries out routing, forwards the data message with RID as purpose address.
Identity position depositor (Identity Location Register, ILR), ILR is used to preserving and safeguarding ownership The identity of user terminal and station location marker map information, are also written as AID-RID map informations in text, process to terminal location Registration, go to register and inquire about;
Alternatively, backbone network can also include:
Interconnection services node (Internet Service Router, ISR), with traditional IP, ASR and ILR Interface, for realizing interconnecting for identity, locator separation network and traditional IP.
As can be seen that ASR needs to be terminal distribution RID when terminal is accessed to realize the normal forwarding of message, and The binding of the AID and RID that need to ILR to register the user, to update ILR in the terminal binding RID.In an example In, ASR is each terminal maintenance terminal to client information (the alternatively referred to as link information of terminal and Correspondent Node, or terminal With the correspondence information of Correspondent Node), wherein the correspondence relationship information comprising terminal AID and its Correspondent Node AID, may be used also With including the AID-RID map informations of the terminal.
WCDMA system can provide the user polytype service application, but there is also much using upper problem, Such as:
GGSN is constant, there is route roundabout.During terminal is in once connection and using business, GGSN keeps constant. So in the case where user is moved, it is possible to move on to apart from GGSN it is far and apart from service source it is relatively near where, so as to Cause path roundabout, cause transmission resource waste, time delay elongated.
Using static publicly-owned address as the IP address of terminal, there can be considerable restraint to the mobility of user.It is static publicly-owned IP address, can only be out from fixed gateway due to due to route planning.Once move to it is far where, it is impossible to regard to proximity Enter external network.Inevitably cause route roundabout, cause transmission resource waste, time delay elongated.

As shown in fig. 7, the flow process of the present embodiment service SRNS repositioning process includes:
Step 701-711:Compared with 301-311 the step of service SRNS reorientation flow processs.
The new SGSN of step 712. signals former SGSN, SRNS reorientations by sending forwarding reorientation completion message Process is completed.Step 712 and step 713 can occur simultaneously.Step 712 is consistent with existing procedure step 312.
The new SGSN of step 713a sends renewal PDP Context request message and (wherein carries for chain of command to former GGSN New SGSN addresses, SGSN TEID (tunnel endpoint identifier), for the new RNC addresses of medium surface, RNC TEID, discuss and decide QoS, DTI etc.), compared with the step of service SRNS reorientation flow processs 313.
Step A. original GGSN receive renewal PDP Context request message after, according in message carry new SGSN addresses, certainly It is fixed whether to need to switch GGSN, it is determined whether needing switching GGSN can also to access external service according to local policy The modes such as device acquisition information, if not switching, GGSN is identical with existing follow-up process, the present embodiment mainly describes switching GGSN's Situation.
Former GGSN is if it is determined that switching GGSN, can inquire about locally configured, inquiry external server according to the address of new SGSN Etc. the address (selecting new GGSN) that mode obtains new GGSN;After new GGSN addresses are obtained, former GGSN to new GGSN sends PDP Context PUSH message, may include the IMSI and/or AID of MS, PDP Context information (bag in PDP Context PUSH message Containing new SGSN, the address of new RNC and TEID, DTI), the information such as authentication information of MS.The mesh of PDP Context PUSH message herein Be to notify that new GGSN MS need switching, and MS related PDP Context, authentication information etc. are sent to new GGSN, do not limit to In a piece of news.
The new GGSN of step B. is received after the PDP Context PUSH message that former GGSN sends, be MS distribute one its own Used as the RID of MS, the RID can be the address (i.e. the second address information) of acceptance original GGSN message, or one for address Other IP address of newly assigned new GGSN;Meanwhile, new GGSN is the context distribution GTP (GPRS of the MS for receiving Tunneling Protocol, GPRS Tunnel Protocol) tunnel (including chain of command and medium surface TEID).
The new GGSN of step C1. to former GGSN sends PDP Context PUSH message response, and whether response receives including new GGSN Switching, the IMSI of MS, new GGSN addresses (can be identical with the IP address for receiving original GGSN message, it is also possible to different), new GGSN controls Face processed and the AID of medium surface TEID, MS, are the RID of MS distribution, and TEID is forwarded temporarily (if MS needs GGSN to PDU data bag Sorted with PDU serial numbers), the letter such as interim PDU serial numbers (if MS needs GGSN to sort PDU data bag PDU serial numbers) Breath.
Step C2. original GGSN receives the PDP Context PUSH message response that new GGSN sends, if new GGSN does not receive to cut Change, former GGSN can be according to strategy and another GGSN repeat step A of selection of configuration;Trial can also be no longer switched over, is used Existing procedure completes to service SRNS repositioning process.
If new GGSN receives switching, former GGSN to new GGSN sends PDP Context handover request, it may include the IMSI of MS And/or AID, up-downgoing PDU serial numbers (if MS need GGSN to PDU data bag PDU serial numbers sort) etc. information.
If MS needs GGSN to sort descending PDU data bag PDU serial numbers, former GGSN start by downlink data packet to The interim forwarding TEID of new GGSN sends, using interim PDU serial numbers;New GGSN is sorted after receiving with descending PDU serial numbers, is made Sent to new RNC with the medium surface TEID of new RNC.
If MS does not need GGSN that descending PDU data bag is sorted with PDU serial numbers, original GGSN can use new RNC's Medium surface TEID to new RNC is forwarded.The situations that sorted with PDU serial numbers to descending PDU data bag of GGSN are not needed for MS, newly GGSN is not required to distribute interim forwarding TEID and interim PDU serial numbers, and PDP Context PUSH message response in step C1 is not required to carry Interim forwarding TEID and interim PDU serial numbers;Former GGSN can not to PDP Context handover request in new GGSN forwarding steps C2, New GGSN is sent using the medium surface TEID of new RNC when the data for being sent to MS are received to new RNC.
Former GGSN can directly encapsulate the upstream data bag of forwarding MS, or be turned to new GGSN with the medium surface TEID of new GGSN Send out.
Step 713b. original GGSN sends to new SGSN and updates PDP Context response, and with original process step 313 PDP is updated Context response information form is consistent, but medium surface TEID and chain of command TEID fill in the new GGSN's that receives in step C1 Medium surface TEID and chain of command TEID;The GGSN addresses of medium surface and the GGSN addresses of chain of command fill in what is received in step C1 The GGSN addresses and the GGSN addresses of chain of command of the medium surface of new GGSN.After this step, new SGSN starts to new GGSN, rather than Former GGSN sends chain of command data;If not adopting direct tunnel mode, new SGSN starts to new GGSN, rather than original GGSN Send medium surface data.
If step C3. is using direct tunnel mode, new SGSN notifies the medium surface address of the new GGSN of new RNC and TEID, After this step, new RNC starts to new GGSN, rather than original GGSN sends medium surface data.
Step D. original GGSN according to the communication opposite end table of MS, can search the opposite end GGSN (removing new GGSN) of all MS associations, The message of MS AID-RID mapping changes is sent, and receives the response of AID-RID mapping change message.
Step E. original GGSN to ILR sends the message of AID-RID mapping changes, and receives the response of ILR.
Step F. original GGSN receives the response of the AID-RID mapping change message of all opposite ends (GGSN, ISR, ILR) transmission Afterwards, can stop forwarding data to new GGSN, delete relevant information;Meanwhile, sending to new GGSN and stop forwarding message, new GGSN is received The interim forwarding TEID and interim PDU serial numbers of distribution can be deleted to after the message.
If not requiring that PDU serial numbers sort, can not send to new GGSN and stop forwarding message.
Step F also can arrange repeating timer in former GGSN, stop forwarding to new GGSN transmissions after timer expiry and disappear Breath.
Also aging mechanism can be used to interim forwarding TEID and interim PDU serial numbers in new GGSN, then can not be to new GGSN Transmission stops forwarding message.
Step 714. receives forwarding reorientation completion message, and former SGSN sends Iu release commands and gives source RNC.When RNC numbers Expire according to repeating timer, source RNC is responded with Iu Release completes.Step 714 is consistent with existing procedure step 314.
Step 715.MS initiates Routing Area Update process, because MS is in PMM-CONNECTED patterns, what it was only carried out The a subset of RA renewal processes.Step 715 is consistent with existing procedure step 315.
The present embodiment step A to F is the change of the different existing procedures of this patent, is updated by the PDP Context of new SGSN Message trigger, for the seamless switching of GGSN.With combine direct-cut operation and SRNS reorientation flow processs, united cell/URA and service The flow process difference of RNS reorientations is wireless side, therefore does not affect the description of above-described embodiment.Step A to F is same for the present embodiment Can be used to the joint direct-cut operation and SRNS repositioning process and united cell of existing procedure/URA update and SRNS reorientations Journey, is triggered by the PDP Context new information of new SGSN, realizes the seamless switching of GGSN.
Additionally, the present embodiment can also have following variants/alternative:
For example, in step C2, the AID-RID cachings of the communication opposite end that former GGSN can also be preserved are sent to newly GGSN。
For example, in step D, there are various ways notification communication opposite end:
Mode one, execution step D, does not only carry out step E, and the renewal of the map information of AID-RID is notified by ILR;
Mode two, using broadcast advice method.
For example, it is also possible to not execution step D, all data for being sent to MS of former GGSN forwardings are to new GGSN, and forwarding time It is longer than the time of all GGSN cachings AID-RID mappings, it is ensured that former GGSN forwards all opposite end GGSN old due to AID-RID cachings Change, inquiry ILR obtains the packet before new AID-RID mappings.
Former GGSN can notify that opposite end network element (GGSN, ISR) MS has been switched to new GGSN when receiving the data for being sent to MS.
For example, step D and/or E also can be performed by new GGSN, and former GGSN can send the communication opposite end table of the MS of caching and send To new GGSN.
