Specific embodiment

In order to improve the handling capacity of UE, in existing network framework, a kind of method of WLAN polymerization is proposed. WLAN polymerization is UE and sets up the dual link that EUTRAN carrying carries with WLAN, is divided by WLAN Stream part or the data being all sent to UE.The chain of command of UE is still set up between UE and base station, WLAN Only shunt the data of user plane.Base station controls establishment and the deletion of WLAN side polymerization.It is polymerized by WLAN Method, on the other hand on the one hand make use of a width of UE of band of WLAN to service, also solve WLAN service even The bad problem of continuous property.

UE is associated with WLAN node and refers to connection establishment between UE and WLAN node, can hand over therebetween Change data.UE refers to move to separately UE with associating of a WLAN node with WLAN node re-association One WLAN node or UE switching access another WLAN node.UE and another WLAN saves After point associates again, still keep seriality.Can occur re-association WLAN node be often belonging to same Individual ESS (expansion service area), in HESS or same range of management.

As shown in Fig. 2 base station is Xw interface with the interface of WLAN side, base station Xw interface opposite end is WLAN Destination node (WT), WT may be considered the agency of WLAN side, can be shielded to WLAN by WT The impact of side.WT can manage one and arrive multiple WLAN entity (AP, AC, BSS, ESS, HESS Or other), WT can for single node or and AP, AC or other WLAN entities close and set.

At present, there is problems：

Problem 1) WLAN node coverage is little, when UE moves between WLAN node, if base station is real When control, the interface load of substantial amounts of Uu mouth and Xw can be caused.

Problem 2) UE can re-association between WLAN node, but WLAN is the network done one's best, weight The network of association may be unsatisfactory for the communication requirement of UE.

Such as, manage an ESS (expansion service area) under WT, comprise multiple AP.WT is passed through in base station Establish WLAN polymerization.When UE moves between the AP under ESS, need to reselect new AP and send out Play re-association, data is activation otherwise can be caused to interrupt.UE is transparent to the re-association of AP to base station.Each The data qos requirement that UE is diverted to WLAN is also different.If allowing UE oneself to go to define re-association Require, the AP of selection may be caused to be unsatisfactory for servicing the requirement of QoS.

Problem 3) base station range is far longer than the coverage of WLAN node, WLAN in base station range Quantity be a lot, WLAN may enable at any time or close.If obtained by way of configuring The information of WLAN, configuration work amount is huge.In addition, base station can also manage outside this operator or other members Wlan network, current base station also cannot be distinguished by each successful wlan network.

Problem 4) base station do not know that WLAN node under coverage or WLAN node do not know covering yet Base station under scope.WLAN polymerization really UE, in EUTRAN and WLAN dual link, needs at UE The region repeating to cover in EUTRAN and WLAN just can be realized.

Problem 5) base station do not know the range of management of WT.Base station controls WLAN to be polymerized by WT, but Base station does not know under WT, which WLAN node is available at present.

Problem 6) base station do not know UE WLAN ability

UE must have WLAN ability, WLAN polymerizing power；But user can be turned on and off WLAN at any time Function, this is dynamic.

Problem 7) how to select the target WLAN node of WLAN polymerization not clear for UE.

Problem 8) how to control shunting carrying QoS also unclear.

For making the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention become more apparent, develop simultaneously enforcement referring to the drawings Example, is described in further detail to the present invention.
