Fig. 2 is the schematic flow sheet of the embodiment of the present invention one.
Embodiment
For making the object, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention clearly, the present invention is described in further detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and the specific embodiments.
Core concept of the present invention is: when mobile relay carries out S1 switching, make target MME know this switching switching to mobile relay, meanwhile, guarantee whether target MME can be support that the community of relay function accurately judges to Target cell.Like this, target MME can according to this judged result, and refusal mobile relay is switched to not to be supported in the Target cell of relay function, thus effectively can improve the success rate of S1 switching.
The schematic flow sheet of Fig. 2 embodiment of the present invention one, as Fig. 2 shows, this embodiment mainly comprises the following steps:
Step 201, when base station access MME time, by S1 connection establishment request message, by the cell notification of support relay functions all in this base station give described MME.
In this step, during by accessing MME in base station, by base station, having under it is supported that all cell notification of relay function are to MME, make MME can judge in follow-up switching whether Target cell supports the switching of mobile relay, and then can be switched to and do not support in the Target cell of relay function by refusal mobile relay, avoid due to community do not support in the handoff failure that then causes.
Preferably, described notice can be carried out by the mode of cell list, in S1 connection establishment request message, namely carry the cell identification list supporting relay function, will support that the cell notification of relay function is to described MME.
Step 202, when mobile relay need to carry out S1 switch time, this switches to mobile relay switching notice to source MME by switching command message by source base station eNB.
Preferably, can carry relay swicthing indication information by increasing by a relay swicthing indication field in described switching command message, the source MME of making knows that this switches to mobile relay to switch.
Step 203, described source MME, according to described switching command message, send to target MME and forward RELOCATION REQUEST message, and switch to mobile relay switching notice to described target MME this by described forwarding RELOCATION REQUEST message.
When this step of specific implementation, can this switches to mobile relay to switch by direct or indirect mode notification target MME.
Such as, can directly carry relay swicthing indication information by described forwarding RELOCATION REQUEST message, this be switched to target MME described in mobile relay switching notice.
Also international contracted user's mark (IMSI) information forwarding the described mobile relay carried in RELOCATION REQUEST message can be utilized to carry out described notice.Following step can be adopted particularly:
Described source MME sends the forwarding RELOCATION REQUEST message of carrying the IMSI information of described mobile relay to described target MME; Described target MME is according to described IMSI information, and determine that the user of this secondary switching is for mobile relay, like this, just known this switches to mobile relay to switch.
Preferably, specifically can adopt following several method, determine that the user of this secondary switching is for mobile relay:
Method one: described target MME asks to the home subscribed services device (HSS) belonging to described IMSI the subscription data that described IMSI is corresponding, according to described subscription data, can determine that the user that described IMSI is corresponding is mobile relay.
Consider in method two that mobile relay is deployed in usually can estimate on the vehicles of route, therefore can think RN by way of MME can expect, like this, by the subscription data of mobile relay requested is before preserved, the Signalling exchange with HSS can be reduced, shorten handover delay.
Method two is specially: described target MME first searches in the subscription data of the mobile relay of self current preservation whether there is subscription data corresponding to described IMSI, if do not had, then ask to the HSS belonging to described IMSI the subscription data that described IMSI is corresponding, according to described subscription data, determine that the user that described IMSI is corresponding is mobile relay, and preserve subscription data corresponding to described IMSI.
Based on the same consideration of method two in method three, just give described target MME, to reduce the Signalling exchange of MME and HSS by OAM by pre-configured for the mobile relay list in system.
Method three is specially: give described target MME by network operation and maintenance centre (OAM) by the mobile relay list configuration in system in advance; Like this, when determining the user of this secondary switching for mobile relay, target MME only needs to judge whether described IMSI is present in the described mobile relay list of self preserving, and if so, then determines that the user of this secondary switching is for mobile relay.
Step 204, described target MME according to described forwarding RELOCATION REQUEST message know this switch to mobile relay switch after, according to the community of the described support relay function known, judge whether this Target cell switched is the community supporting relay function, if, described mobile relay is then allowed to switch to described Target cell, otherwise, refuse described mobile relay and switch to described Target cell.
In sum, these are only preferred embodiment of the present invention, be not intended to limit protection scope of the present invention.Within the spirit and principles in the present invention all, any amendment done, equivalent replacement, improvement etc., all should be included within protection scope of the present invention.
