Embodiment
The present embodiment provides a kind of method of heterogeneous network converged, as shown in Figure 1, the method bag of the heterogeneous network converged Include:
Set for interconnection and the network anchor point with external network communication between heterogeneous network;The network anchor point is responsible for connecing Receive, forwarding user data.Gateway of the network anchor point as the node interconnected between heterogeneous network and with external network communication, it is only negative Duty receives and forwarding user data.
The network controller for communicating and being connected respectively with the network anchor point and user terminal is set;The network controller leads to Cross the information that network anchor point and user terminal collect heterogeneous networks, the interoperability and control between centralized Control heterogeneous network are more The fusion of hierarchical heterogeneity network;The user terminal transmits tunnel by least 1 data and is connected with network anchor point communication. Network controller is responsible for collecting the information of heterogeneous networks, and the interoperability between centralized Control heterogeneous network, controls heterogeneous network Fusion process.Network controller controls a plurality of data transfer established between user terminal and network anchor point by different isomerization network Tunnel.It is polymerize by the user data that heterogeneous networks transmit in user terminal and network anchor point.User terminal and network anchor point according to The convergence strategy issued according to network controller, sends and receives the data of different attribute in different tunnels.Network controller Foundation, activation, deactivation and the dismounting of charge tunnel.
Further, the tunnel(The abbreviation of data transmission tunnel)There is multiaddress, more hosts, multithread, can Stable, orderly and reliable data delivery service is provided between two communication end points.The convergence strategy includes network wireless The load of covering quality and network, congestion state etc..User terminal is believed to the wireless coverage quality of network controller report network Breath, the factor such as attribute and quality of service requirements that network controller considers the load condition of network, user contracts, controls tunnel Foundation, activation, deactivation and dismounting, realize the soft switching process between heterogeneous network.
Further, as shown in Fig. 2, the network controller controls transmission, reception, the polymerization of user data in heterogeneous network Include with the process of distribution:

    The network controller includes:
    The pre-established module in tunnel, is connected with the user terminal communication, in user terminal according to itself current former network of attachment The pre-established user terminal in position passes through the data transmission tunnel between an objective network and network anchor point, i.e. objective network tunnel Afterwards, information is completed to user terminal feedback tunnel building;
    Tunnel activation module, is connected with the user terminal communication, and initiating activation tunnel to network controller in user terminal please After asking, tunnel activation success command is fed back to user terminal;
    Tunnel activation module is gone, is connected with the user terminal communication, being deactivated in the tunnel for receiving user terminal transmission please After asking, tunnel deactivation command is fed back to user terminal;
    Tunnel teardown module, is connected with the user terminal communication, after receiving the deactivation for carrying out user terminal and completing signaling, The network anchor point is controlled to perform tunnel teardown operation;
    Release module, is respectively connected with the user terminal and network anchor point, for melting to user terminal and network anchor point issue Close strategy;
    Wireless access point management module, is respectively connected with the user terminal and network anchor point, by the currently active tunnel The new wireless access point information of report, updates wireless base station and the topological relation context-descriptive of wireless access point;
    Network load monitoring module, is respectively connected with the user terminal and network anchor point, collects the information on load of heterogeneous network, The load condition of heterogeneous network is counted, and the activation and deactivation in tunnel are adjusted according to the load condition of heterogeneous network.
  7. 7. the system of heterogeneous network converged according to claim 6, it is characterised in that:Different data transfer tunnels represents The data communication channel of heterogeneous networks in heterogeneous network.
  8. 8. the system of the heterogeneous network converged according to claim 6 to 7 any one, it is characterised in that:The heterogeneous network Network includes mobile network, WiFi nets, WiMax nets or/and internet.
