Detailed Description
The technical solution of the present invention is further elaborated below with reference to the drawings and the specific embodiments.
Fig. 1 is a schematic diagram of a flow of a tracking area update failure when a terminal is switched from a 2G/3G network to a 4G network in an idle state in the related art, as shown in fig. 1, the flow includes:
step 101, a terminal (UE, User experience) sends a tracking area update request message to a new 4G base station;
here, the 4G base station includes a Long Term Evolution (LTE) type base station.
The new 4G base station initiates a Tracking Area Update (TAU) procedure, which includes steps 102 to 107;
step 102, the new 4G base station sends a tracking area update request message to a Mobility Management Entity (MME);
step 103, the mobility management unit sends an SGSN Context Request (SGSN Context Request) message to a Serving GPRS support node (SGSN, Serving GPRS support node, wherein GPRS (general Packet Radio service) is general Packet Radio service technology);
step 104, the SGSN sends an SGSN Context Response message to the mobile management unit;
here, the SGSN context response request message includes a PDP context;
step 105, the mobility management unit finds that there is no PDP Context according to the received SGSN Context response message, and returns a failed SGSN Context acknowledgement (SGSN Context) message;
step 106, the mobile management unit sends a tracking area Reject (TAU Reject) message to the new 4G base station;
step 107, the new 4G base station sends a tracking area rejection message to the terminal;
here, the new 4G base station sends a tracking area reject message to the terminal and requires the terminal to re-attach;
and 108, the terminal reinitiates the attachment process under the 4G network.
It can be seen from the above flow that, if the terminal is in an idle state during the tracking area update, the tracking area update will fail and need to be reattached, which increases the network load and prolongs the duration of the signaling flow. Specifically, when the terminal moves from a 2G/3G network coverage area to a 4G network coverage area, an optional field is added when the terminal initiates a network reselection request to a 4G base station to identify whether an inactive user can reselect to a subscribed default APN when the terminal initiates the network reselection request to the 4G base station, wherein the initiation of the network reselection request to the 4G base station by the terminal may be implemented by sending a tracking area update (taureq) message to the 4G base station. After receiving the request message for updating the tracking area of the terminal, the mobile management unit in the core network obtains the context information of the terminal from the original SGSN of the terminal by the mobile management module of the mobile management unit, and starts a corresponding process according to the context information of the terminal. Fig. 2-1 is a schematic flow chart of a first implementation process of a tracking area updating method according to an embodiment of the present invention, as shown in fig. 2-1, the method includes:
step 201, the terminal moves from a 2G/3G network coverage area to a 4G network coverage area, and initiates a tracking area updating process;
step 202, the mobile management unit obtains the PDP context of the terminal;
here, the acquiring, by the mobility management unit, the PDP context of the terminal includes:
the mobile management unit finds a source service GPRS supporting node SGSN of a user according to the tracking area request message and sends an SGSN context request message to the source SGSN;
the mobile management unit receives an SGSN context response message sent by the SGSN;
and the mobile management unit acquires the PDP context of the terminal from the SGSN context response message.
Step 203, the mobility management unit judges whether the terminal has a PDP context, if yes, step 204 is entered, otherwise step 205 is entered;
step 204, starting a normal tracking area updating process;
specifically, the terminal reselects to the 4G network, and activates the default bearer by using the originally activated APN as the default bearer.
Step 205, judging whether the terminal has a default APN for signing a contract, if yes, entering step 206, and if not, entering step 207;
step 206, the mobility management unit establishes a tracking area update procedure of a default bearer;
specifically, the mobile management unit adds a software function, acquires user subscription information from a Home Location Register (HLR), initiates a default bearer establishment procedure according to a default APN signed by a user and responded by the Home location register, establishes a default bearer for the terminal, and updates a tracking area of the response terminal successfully after the default bearer is established successfully.
Step 207, rejecting the terminal tracking area updating request;
specifically, rejecting the terminal tracking area update request may be implemented by sending a tracking area reject message to the terminal, and after the terminal receives the tracking area reject message, the terminal needs to re-attach to the 4G network, and the MME starts a normal attach procedure.

step S204, when the second determination result indicates that the terminal has the signed default APN, the mobility management unit establishes a tracking area update procedure of a default bearer for the terminal using the signed default APN.
In the embodiment of the present invention, the method further includes: and when the second judgment result shows that the terminal does not have the default APN signed with the contract, the mobile management unit refuses the terminal tracking area updating request.
