Step 704, wireless side network element 1 checks this TFT1, judges whether to need to delete straight-through tunnel.If need to delete straight-through tunnel, wireless side network element 1 discharges straight-through tunnel relevant information.
Step 701 ' to 704 ', similar wireless side network element 1, exhales end network element also to carry out similar step 701 to the process of step 704 eventually, therefore, wireless side network element 2 has also obtained TFT2 information, then, in the situation that judgement needs to delete straight-through tunnel, discharges straight-through tunnel relevant information.
Step 705, alternatively, wireless side network element 1 sends straight-through tunnel release message, optional tape label or Tunnel Identifier to wireless side network element 2.
Step 706, continues to carry out follow-up flow process.
Above embodiment take between wireless side network element, set up tunnel scene as example is described, in the situation that setting up tunnel between gateway, be described below:
In Fig. 4 and Fig. 5, what Application Function 1 and Application Function 2 obtained respectively is not wireless side net element information, but the information of gateway 2 and gateway 1, so in the message of Fig. 4, Fig. 5 and Fig. 6, need the wireless side net element information carrying to replace with the gateway information of carrying.
In Fig. 6, gateway 1, after 602, can lead directly to tunnel and set up operation, and now 603 and 604 do not need to carry extraneous information, and do not carry out 605.Exhale eventually the similar above-mentioned processing of end network element.
In Fig. 7, gateway 1 is after 701, and inspection needs to delete behind straight-through tunnel, leads directly to tunnel information and deletes, optional to the gateway 2 straight-through tunnel of initiation releasing operations.Now do not need to carry out 704 and 705.Exhale eventually the similar above-mentioned processing of end network element.
Above in all embodiment, between any wireless side network element or the message between gateway (as step 605) can transmit by Mobility Management Entity, for example, optional two Mobility Management Entity carry out the transmission of message.
For simplified characterization, above embodiment only be take the situation of Fig. 1 and the way to manage that local IP access connects is described as example.(for example, UTRAN system, exist in the situation of home base-station gateway) in other cases, the foundation operation that still needs to lead directly to tunnel.In these cases, very similar to above-described embodiment to the mode of setting up in straight-through tunnel, can not impact setting forth the present invention, therefore be no longer repeated in this description at this.
Wireless side network element can be base station, base station from home, home base-station gateway, RNC(radio network controller, Radio Network Controller), data distribution functional entity.Mobility Management Entity can be MME(mobile management unit, Mobility Management Entity), MSC(mobile switching centre, Mobile Switching Centre), SGSN(Serving GPRS Support Node, Serving GPRS Support Node), home base-station gateway.Gateway can be S-GW or SGSN.IAD can be P-GW, AGW or GGSN.
