For making the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention clearer, hereinafter in connection with accompanying drawing embodiments of the invention are elaborated.Need to prove, in the situation that do not conflict, the embodiment among the application and the feature among the embodiment be combination in any mutually.
Embodiment 1
Fig. 1 has described the E-UTRAN network architecture diagram that is deployed with Home eNodeB.HeNB can connect MME as the S1 agency by HeNB GW, is connected to MME if HeNB acts on behalf of as S1 by HeNB GW, then the relevant S1 signaling of HeNB GW relaying UE.There is the X2 direct interface between the HeNB, can switches by this X2 direct interface.Can there be the X2 direct interface between macro base station and the Home eNodeB, such as the eNB 3 among Fig. 1 and the X2 interface between the HeNB 1.
Fig. 2 has described the present embodiment scheme flow process, may further comprise the steps:
Step 201: source base station receives for the auxiliary cell of the switching determination of certain UE;
Source base station might receive this cell from MME, for example set up handover request message or the reception of path transfer request acknowledge message of request message, S1 interface by initial context, also might receive this cell from other base station, for example pass through the handover request message sink of X2 interface.
Before the auxiliary cell of this switching determination is used for being illustrated in once or the member condition that reports of this UE of front several times (more than twice) handoff procedure and core network element (such as MME) be consistent or inconsistent according to the member condition of user signing contract information judgement.This cell has reflected the content accuracy that UE reports in once front or front several times handoff procedure, the base station can judge whether the content that UE reports is credible by this cell.
Being switched and determined auxiliary cell safeguards at the MME place and storage, MME can be stored in the UE context or also can not be stored in the UE context, MME can not delete the auxiliary cell of switching determination of this UE immediately after the UE attachment removal, and is used for UE handoff procedure next time.MME can compare to arrange according to UE in the historical record that the switches member condition that reports and the member condition of self judging and be switched and determined the value of assisting cell, and can assist the cell value according to current switching determination, and the situation that the member condition that UE reports in the recent one or many handoff procedure is compared with the member condition that MME judges comes this switching determination of maintenance update to assist cell.
The auxiliary cell of above-mentioned switching determination also can be called credible indication information element, or member condition consistency cell etc., in order to set forth conveniently, before the value hypothesis that is switched and determined auxiliary cell in following examples can namely be illustrated in for the value (being called for short " unanimously ") of expression " unanimously " once or the member condition judged of the member condition that this UE reports in the front several times handoff procedure and core network element consistent, the value (abbreviation " inconsistent ") that represents " inconsistent " namely be illustrated in before once or the member condition of the member condition that this UE reports in the front several times handoff procedure and core network element judgement inconsistent.
This step is not limited to carry out at this moment, as long as source base station gets access to this cell before carrying out switch decision.
Step 202:UE sends measurement report to source base station (i.e. the serving BS of this UE, this serving BS might be macro base station or Home eNodeB);
The member condition that comprises the candidate target cells that this UE reports in the measurement report that UE reports thereon.
Step 203: when source base station is received the laggard hand-manipulating of needle of measurement report to the switch decision of this UE, if target BS is Home eNodeB, the auxiliary cell of the member condition that then reports according to UE and the switching determination of this UE judges which kind of is initiated switches (X2 or S1 switch) flow process;
When judge initiating the X2 switching flow, further judge Target cell be under the hybrid cell conditions be with member's identity also right and wrong member identity initiate the X2 switching flow.
Whether member condition is used to indicate this UE is the member of candidate target cells, if candidate target cells Member Users for example, then member condition cell value is member in measurement report, if the non-Member Users of candidate target cells, then this member condition cell not in this candidate target cells relevant information in the measurement report.
Target cell can be hybrid residential quarter or CSG residential quarter, specifically comprises following two kinds:
1) cell-of-origin is the open residential quarter, or the cell-of-origin is that hybrid/CSG residential quarter and source and target CSG ID are not identical;
2) source base station is macro base station, and Target cell is the hybrid/CSG residential quarter.
● when definite Target cell was the CSG residential quarter, concrete determination methods comprised as shown in Figure 3:
If being switched and determined auxiliary cell value representation be " unanimously ", and UE to report this UE be the Target cell member, then judgement initiation UE is to the X2 switching flow of Target cell;
If being switched and determined auxiliary cell value representation be " inconsistent ", and UE to report this UE be the Target cell member, judge that then initiation UE is to the S1 switching flow of Target cell;
Otherwise all do not initiate to switch.
● when definite Target cell was the hybrid residential quarter, concrete determination methods comprised as shown in Figure 4:
If being switched and determined auxiliary cell value representation be " unanimously ", and UE to report this UE be the Target cell member, judge that then initiation UE arrives the X2 switching flow of Target cell with member's identity;
If being switched and determined auxiliary cell value representation be " unanimously ", and UE reports the non-Target cell member of this UE, judges that then initiation UE arrives the X2 switching flow of Target cell with non-member's identity;
If being switched and determined auxiliary cell value representation be " inconsistent ", and UE reports the non-Target cell member of this UE, then judges and initiates UE arrives Target cell with non-member's identity X2 switching flow;
If being switched and determined auxiliary cell value representation is " inconsistent ", and UE to report this UE be the Target cell member, then can judge and take in the following operation any:
A. judge and initiate UE to the S1 switching flow of Target cell;
B. judge and initiate UE with the X2 switching flow of non-member's identity to Target cell;
C. judge and initiate UE with the X2 switching flow of member's identity to Target cell;
At this moment, source base station can send to target Home eNodeB for member condition and the value that the UE of " member " reports for the auxiliary cell of the switching determination of " inconsistent " with value by X2 handover request message, decide this UE in its sole discretion by the target Home eNodeB and go back right and wrong member identity access Target cell with the member, for example the target Home eNodeB can decide according to self current load condition, if it is higher to work as preload, then this UE accesses with non-member's identity, otherwise can access with member's identity.
Step 204:UE switches to Target cell by S1 or X2 switching flow from Serving cell based on the judgement of source base station.
If adopt the X2 switching flow, then in the transfer process of path, MME judges UE in the member condition of Target cell after receiving the path transfer request message, and with base station under the member condition notification target residential quarter of this UE of its judgement.Target cell receives that the member condition of upgrading UE after the member condition of the MME indication line correlation of going forward side by side processes.Reaffirm the member condition of UE by MME, and this member condition is sent to the affiliated base station of Target cell, guarantee that UE can access with correct identity this Target cell.
