Background technology
Machine is the application and the service of core, networking with the machine terminal intelligent interaction to machine (M2M) business.It adopts the intelligence machine terminal, by wireless network transmissions information, is the informatization resolve scheme that the client provides, and is used to satisfy the information system requirement of client to aspects such as monitoring, command scheduling, data acquisition and measurements.
Because machine class communication (MTC) equipment (being also referred to as the MTC terminal) has unattended feature, therefore, need be optimized the 3GPP network, make network have can activated terminals ability, need MTC terminal to report data or it is controlled as MTC Server like this, just can trigger MTC equipment at any time and MTC Server sets up data communication.
According to the M2M business demand, need network realize to terminal activate, all kinds of demands of small data quantity transmission, therefore packet switching (PS) packet network architecture is strengthened, the MTC of PS network strengthens framework as shown in Figure 1, MTC (external interface function, IWF) network element and relevant interface in the PS network architecture, have been introduced.Wherein, MTC Server is used to the user that M2M is provided application controls, and MTC Server mainly is responsible for information gathering and the storage/work such as processing to MTC equipment, and can carry out necessary management to MTC equipment (MTC UE).MTC IWF network element is responsible for carrying out that network topology is hidden and application layer, bearing bed protocol conversion.The function of existing MTC IWF mainly is the activation message that receives MTC Server, and will activate message by 3GPP network related network elements and be handed down to the MTC terminal.
During existing MTC network technique for enhancing realizes, the main flow process of considering that employing MTC IWF activates, activation process mainly may further comprise the steps as shown in Figure 2:
Step 101, MTC UE is in the 3GPP packet domain, comprise packet wireless business (GPRS) network and evolved packet system (EPS) network, need be to Radio Access Network (Radio Network System, RNS) (for example, eNodeB or radio network controller (RNC)) initiate to adhere to request, wherein, carried the sign (being IMSI) of MTC UE, the priority indication of terminal, the network accessibility of MTC UE, the indication of asking distributing IP and terminal and inserted information such as agent capability.In this step, if terminal position change when online, initiation be the TAU flow process;
The priority indication of terminal is the attribute that terminal configures above, comprising: low priority indication, normal priority indication and high priority indication etc., when terminal inserts, need carry the priority indication of configuration.
RNS selects a mobile management network element (MME or SGSN) of service for it for MTC UE, and will adhere to and ask to be forwarded to this MME/SGSN, will adhere to the relevant information of carrying in the message simultaneously and also carry to MME/SGSN.
MME/SGSN sends position updating request to the home subscriber server (HLR/HSS) of MTC UE home network, wherein carries the address information of MME/SGSN and the sign (IMSI) of MTC UE, informs the current zone of inserting of MTC UE to HSS; HLR/HSS finds out contracted user's data according to the sign (IMSI) of MTC UE, sends to MME/SGSN;
If terminal allows to insert, SGSN/MME just sends to this terminal and adheres to access, and this terminal is linked into the 3GPP network;
Step 102, MTC Server need activate the MTC terminal according to application demand.MTC Server will issue ownership MTC IWF by the MTCsp interface to the activation request of MTC terminal, activate in the request message and carry information such as activation (trigger) information, terminal iidentification;
Step 103, MTC IWF is according to the terminal iidentification in the trigger request message, obtains the IP address of the SGSN/MME that terminal adheres to and the IMSI sign of terminal from HSS/HLR.
Step 104, MTC IWF carries information such as trigger information and IMSI sign to the request that described SGSN/MME sends activated terminals.
Step 105, MME/SGSN preserves this earlier in this locality and activates request according to carrier policy, initiates the TAU flow process etc. terminal.
Step 106, the TAU request that terminal is initiated periodically TAU request or initiated because of position change to MME/SGSN;
Step 107 after SGSN/MME receives TAU request, is carried out the processing of relevant position updating process such as bearing modification;
Step 108, MME/SGSN carries the activation request of this terminal in the NAS signaling of TAU response, will activate message and send to the MTC terminal.
Step 109, MTC UE finishes message with TAU and issues SGSN/MME, carries the request of activation in the message and receives information.
Step 110, MME/SGSN returns the request of activation to MTC IWF and sends success message;
Step 111, MTC IWF activates message by MTC Server and sends successfully.
Step 112, MTC terminal are set up user plane bearer at the 3GPP network after receiving the activation request of MTC Server, set up application layer with MTC Server by the user name carrying of 3GPP network then and are connected, and realize the mutual of business datum.
Strengthen in framework and the concrete flow process at existing MTC, when SGSN/MME is congested, this moment, common activation message was when MTC Server issues SGSN/MME, can be carried out refusal, SGSN/MME can notify MTC Server network congested simultaneously, and MTC Server no longer sends the informational message of common trigger when network congestion.
Referring to Fig. 3, when MTC Server need issue the high-priority applications data, just adopt this moment high priority to activate signaling message (Urgent trigger message) and issue MTC IWF, be transmitted to SGSN/MME by MTC IWF.SGSN/MME need handle the trigger request of high priority at this moment, and step is as follows:
Step 204, SGSN/MME receives Urgent trigger request, just initiates Paging, call terminal to terminal.
Step 205 after terminal is received Paging, is initiated service request to network, and the NAS signaling bear of service request is in RRC connection request signaling, and RAN issues SGSN/MME with Service request service request after setting up the RRC connection.
Trigger info information after SGSN/MME receives service request, because of network congestion is refused, is carried in step 206~208 in refuse information.Terminal is just initiated service request again according to trigger info information, carries the MT indication in service request.
Step 209~211, SGSN/MME can not refuse for the service request of MT, therefore asks Radio Resource, sets up radio bearer, and terminal can be set up data communication with MTC Server like this.
Above-mentioned Urgent trigger can handle when SGSN/MME is congested, but when RAN is congested, just can't handle, because when RAN is congested, RAN is issued in terminal bearer service request on the RRC connection request, RAN will refuse the RRC connection request because congested, makes service request can't issue SGSN/MME, thereby cause Urgent trigger failure, specifically can be referring to the marginal data of step 305~306 of Fig. 4.
In the correlation technique, when MTC Server initiated Urgent trigger notice to terminal, under the congested scene of RAN, the MTC terminal can't be set up user plane bearer at network, thereby can't carry out data communication with MTC Server, cause high-priority applications can't obtain handling.
