To make the object, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention become more apparent, below in conjunction with accompanying drawing to the present invention Embodiment be described in detail.It should be noted that in the case where not conflicting, in the embodiment and embodiment in the application Feature can mutual combination in any.
Embodiment 1
Fig. 1 describes the E-UTRAN network architecture diagrams for being deployed with Home eNodeB.HeNB can be used as S1 generations by HeNB GW Reason connection MME, if HeNB is used as S1 agencies by HeNB GW is connected to MME, HeNB GW relaying UE related S1 signalings. There is X2 direct interfaces between HeNB, can be switched over by the X2 direct interfaces.There may be between macro base station and Home eNodeB The X2 interface between eNB 3 and HeNB 1 in X2 direct interfaces, such as Fig. 1.
Fig. 2 describes this embodiment scheme flow process, comprises the following steps:
Step 201:Source base station receives the switching determination auxiliary cell for certain UE;
Source base station is possible to the cell is received from MME, for example, set up request message, S1 interfaces by initial context Handover request message or path transfer request confirm message sink, it is also possible to receive the cell from other base stations, for example, lead to Cross the handover request message sink of X2 interface.
Switching determination auxiliary cell is used to representing in front UE once or in front (more than twice) several times handoff procedure The member condition of report is consistent or differs according to the member condition that user signing contract information judges with core network element (such as MME) Cause.The cell reflect UE it is front once or the content accuracy that reports in front handoff procedure several times, base station can pass through the letter Unit judges whether the content that UE is reported is credible.
It is switched and determined auxiliary cell to safeguard and storage at MME places, during MME can be stored in UE contexts or can not also It is stored in UE contexts, after UE attachment removals, MME can not delete the switching determination auxiliary cell of the UE immediately, and be used under UE In secondary handoff procedure.The member condition that MME can be judged with itself according to the member condition that UE in the historical record of switching is reported It is compared to arrange the value for being switched and determined auxiliary cell, it is possible to according to current switching determination auxiliary cell value, and closely The situation compared with member condition that the member condition that UE is reported in phase one or many handoff procedure is judged with MME is safeguarding more The new switching determination aids in cell.
Above-mentioned switching determination auxiliary cell is referred to as credible indication information element, or member condition concordance cell etc., it is Illustrate convenient, the value for being switched and determined auxiliary cell in the examples below assumes can be the value (abbreviation for representing " consistent " " consistent ") represent it is front once or the UE is reported in front handoff procedure several times member condition and core network element judge into Member's state consistency, or represent " inconsistent " value (referred to as " inconsistent ") represent it is front once or should in front handoff procedure several times The member condition that the member condition that UE is reported is judged with core network element is inconsistent.
This step is not limited to perform at this moment, as long as source base station gets the cell before judgement is switched over.
Step 202:UE sends measurement report, and to source base station, (i.e. the serving BS of the UE, the serving BS are likely to be grand Base station or Home eNodeB);
The measurement report that UE is reported includes the member condition of the candidate target cells that the UE is reported thereon.
Step 203:When source base station receives the laggard hand-manipulating of needle of measurement report to the switch decision of the UE, if target BS is family The switching determination auxiliary cell of front yard base station, the then member condition for being reported according to UE and the UE judges which kind of switching (X2 or S1 initiated Switching) flow process;
Judge initiate X2 switching flows when, determine whether Target cell be hybrid cell conditions under be with into Member's identity or non-member identity initiate X2 switching flows.
Member condition is used to indicate the member whether UE is candidate target cells, if such as candidate target cells member User, then in measurement report, member condition cell value is member, if candidate target cells non-member user, then measure Can the not no member condition cell in the candidate target cells relevant information in report.
Target cell can be hybrid cells or CSG cell, specifically include following two:
1) cell-of-origin is open cells, or cell-of-origin is that hybrid/CSG cells and source and target CSG ID are differed;
2) source base station is macro base station, and Target cell is hybrid/CSG cells.
● it is determined that Target cell be CSG cell when, concrete determination methods as shown in figure 3, including:
If being switched and determined auxiliary cell value to be expressed as " consistent ", and UE reporting this UE for Target cell member, then judgement UE is played to the X2 switching flows of Target cell;
If being switched and determined auxiliary cell value to be expressed as " inconsistent ", and UE reporting this UE for Target cell member, then judge UE is initiated to the S1 switching flows of Target cell;
Switching is not initiated otherwise.
● it is determined that Target cell be hybrid cells when, concrete determination methods as shown in figure 4, including:
If being switched and determined auxiliary cell value to be expressed as " consistent ", and UE reporting this UE for Target cell member, then judgement UE is played with the X2 switching flows of member identities to Target cell;
If being switched and determined auxiliary cell value to be expressed as " consistent ", and UE reporting this UE non-targeted cell members, then judge to send out UE is played with the X2 switching flows of non-member identity to Target cell;
If being switched and determined auxiliary cell value to be expressed as " inconsistent ", and UE reporting this UE non-targeted cell members, then judge UE is initiated with the X2 switching flows of non-member identity to Target cell;
If being switched and determined auxiliary cell value to be expressed as " inconsistent ", and UE reporting this UE for Target cell member, then can sentence Surely take any one in following operation:
A. judge to initiate UE to the S1 switching flows of Target cell;
B. judge to initiate UE with the X2 switching flows of non-member identity to Target cell;
C. judge to initiate UE with the X2 switching flows of member identities to Target cell;
Now, the UE that value is " member " can be reported by source base station by X2 handover requests message member condition and value For " inconsistent " switching determination auxiliary cell be sent to target household base station, by target household base station decide the UE in its sole discretion with into Member or non-member identity access Target cell, and such as target household base station can be determined according to itself current loads situation, if Current loads are higher, then the UE is accessed with non-member identity, otherwise can be accessed with member identities.
Step 204:Judgements of the UE based on source base station switches to Target cell from Serving cell by S1 or X2 switching flows.
According to X2 switching flows, then in the transfer process of path, MME judges that UE exists after receiving path transfer request message The member condition of Target cell, and the member condition of the UE for being judged notifies Target cell own base station.Target cell is received The member condition of UE is updated after the member condition indicated to MME and relevant treatment is carried out.Member's shape of UE is reaffirmed by MME State, and the member condition is sent to into Target cell own base station, it is ensured that UE can access the Target cell with correct identity.
