Specific embodiment

Embodying feature of present invention will describe in detail in the following description with the exemplary embodiment of advantage.It should be understood that The present invention can have various changes on different embodiments, and it is neither departed from the scope of the present invention, and theory therein Bright and diagram is treated as in itself purposes of discussion, and is not used to limit the present invention.

As it was previously stated, terminal is after cluster registration, if not done by any group service just across mobile management entity It is mobile, it can be caused directly to carry out group service, so need actively to initiate cluster registration to mobile management entity again Flow process so that the mobile management entity carries out cluster registration by cluster registration message to corresponding clustered control functive, side The development of follow-up group service can be carried out.

Therefore, in order to avoid the active for depending on terminal is triggered, spy proposes a kind of terminal cluster register method so that mobile Management entity can proxy terminal carry out cluster registration.

Fig. 1 is referred to, in one embodiment, a kind of terminal cluster register method, methods described is held by mobile management entity OK, comprise the following steps：

Step 110, the standard LTE movement flow process that mobile management entity response terminal is performed, the movement being located to before terminal movement The cluster registration context of management entity requesting terminal.

As it was previously stated, actively initiating the terminal of cluster register flow path to mobile management entity and not needing mobile management entity The agency for carrying out cluster registration, the only terminal across mobile management entity movement are only possible to need mobile management entity to carry out cluster The agency of registration.

Terminal can be divided into two classes across the movement that mobile management entity is carried out：Carry out what the terminal of group service was carried out Movement across mobile management entity, the movement across mobile management entity that the terminal of group service is carried out is not carried out.

Wherein, the terminal for carrying out group service moves flow process by performing group service, not only causes mobile management entity Know that the terminal is moved on this mobile management entity, also known that the terminal has been carried out cluster note before movement simultaneously Volume.Thus, it is desirable to mobile management entity agency carries out the terminal of cluster registration does not only carry out the terminal of group service, this does not enter The terminal of row group service carry out across mobile management entity it is mobile when will perform standard LTE movement flow process so that moving tube Reason entity knows that terminal there occurs movement.The standard LTE movement flow process can be tracing section updating flow process, or switching stream Journey, it is not limited to this.

Further, the movement of the terminal across mobile management entity of group service is not carried out, it may be possible on terminal attaching ground Between terminal visited place, it is also possible between different terminal visited places.Refer to opening for terminal use terminal attaching Family ground, terminal visited place refers to leave any one place on the ground of opening an account of terminal use.

Thus, in the present embodiment, mobile management entity is that terminal leaves the mobile management entity being located after its ownership place, i.e., The mobile management entity is the mobile management entity of terminal visited place, and the mobile management entity being located before terminal movement then can be with It is the mobile management entity on terminal attaching ground, or the mobile management entity of terminal visited place.

When terminal did not carried out cluster registration, there is not any cluster registration context thereon, now, terminal will be led Trend mobile management entity initiate cluster register flow path, and and do not need mobile management entity agency.In other words, moving tube It is that cluster registration is had been carried out before moving across mobile management entity based on terminal that reason physical agent terminal carries out cluster registration 's.

Because terminal has been carried out cluster registration before movement, in terminal and its mobile front mobile management entity being located The cluster registration context of the terminal that is stored with.Wherein, cluster registration context is that terminal is actively initiated to mobile management entity The terminal cluster information formed during cluster register flow path, for example, includes mobile management reality in terminal cluster information Body information, clustered control functive information of cluster registration etc..

Based on this, mobile management entity will be known by the standard LTE movement flow process that response terminal is performed does not carry out cluster The terminal of business is moved to this mobile management entity, and then initiates to ask by the mobile management entity being located to before terminal movement Ask, you can the cluster registration context corresponding to the cluster registration that the terminal is carried out before movement is got, for mobile management The follow-up proxy terminal of entity carries out being used when cluster is registered.

The request can be initiated, or the standard during response terminal performs standard LTE movement flow process After LTE movements flow process terminates, initiate in the arbitrary free timeslot allowed in standard LTE protocol.In other words, in cluster registration Can be hereafter that mobile management entity is that new cluster registration context request message request is obtained, or logical by sending Cross what the standard context request message requests sent obtained by extension were obtained.Wherein, standard context request message is at end Send during end execution standard LTE movement flow process.

Step 130, addition terminal positional information and cluster register context to cluster registration message, obtain carried terminal position Confidence ceases and cluster registers the cluster registration message of context.

Cluster registration message is to meet SIP by what CCSA CCSA specified（Session Initiation Protocol, session initiation protocol）Register message, to complete mobile management entity to collection team control The terminal cluster registration of functive processed.In the present embodiment, cluster registration message includes that terminal positional information and cluster registration are upper and lower Text.

Terminal positional information is stored in mobile management entity by the standard LTE signaling process performed by terminal, For example, the standard LTE signaling process can be the booting up attachment flow process that terminal is initiated, and can also be the switching flow that base station is initiated Etc..Wherein, to reflect terminal position, it can be represented in the form of tracking area list to terminal positional information, The mobile management entity that can be located by terminal is identified.

The cluster registration that cluster registration context is carried out before moving corresponding to terminal is terminal actively to mobile management reality What body was formed during initiating cluster register flow path.

Thus, after mobile management entity gets terminal positional information and cluster registration context, taken by being formed Tape terminal positional information and cluster register the cluster registration message of context, will cause the mobile management reality being located after terminal movement Body is able to know that the terminal has been carried out cluster registration, and clustered control function physical ability corresponding with the mobile management entity Enough know the terminal position, so as to avoid terminal the note of the cluster after its across mobile management entity movement is actively initiated again Volume flow process.

Step 150, signalling of bouquet registration message to corresponding clustered control functive, with proxy terminal in clustered control work( Energy body carries out cluster registration.

Corresponding clustered control functive is communicated with mobile management entity, mobile in different core net frameworks The corresponding relation of management entity and clustered control functive is all one-to-one, i.e., one mobile management entity correspondence one collection team control Functive processed.Thus, mobile management entity is by its corresponding clustered control functive signalling of bouquet registration message, being possible to The cluster that terminal is completed in the clustered control functive is registered.

By method as above, mobile management entity is by cluster registration message proxy terminal to corresponding collection team control Functive processed carries out cluster registration, and the moment maintains the state one of mobile management entity and clustered control functive after terminal movement Cause, that is, alloing mobile management entity and clustered control functive to both know about registered terminal carries out group service, it is to avoid Terminal actively initiates again cluster register flow path, so as to avoid terminal cluster registration process in depend on terminal actively to trigger Problem so that even if across the mobile management entity movement of the terminal for not carrying out group service, also perceive less than mobile to its cluster The impact of state, can at any time carry out group service, substantially increase the efficiency of terminal cluster business, improve terminal use's Experience.

No matter terminal, across the movement of mobile management entity, is carried out in terminal attaching between terminal visited place, also It is to carry out between different terminal visited places, all by execution step 110 to step 130, by the generation of mobile management entity Reason cluster registration, it is to avoid terminal carries out secondary active triggering, enormously simplify the flow process of terminal cluster registration.

Fig. 2 is referred to, in one embodiment, step 110 is comprised the following steps：

Step 111, in the standard LTE movement flow process that first terminal is performed, mobile management entity is sent in the first extension standards The mobile management entity that hereafter request message is located to first terminal movement.

Step 113, receives the first context response information that the mobile management entity being located before first terminal movement is returned.

Wherein, the standard context request message obtained by extension standards context request message as extends, context Response message is that extension standards context request message is carried out to respond formation, and extension in the context response information is carried The cluster registration context of terminal.

Specifically, after with terminal movement, the tracking area belonging to it there occurs and be illustrated as a example by change.Now, terminal Can be to mobile management entity initiating updating of tracking area flow process, and mobile management entity performs the tracing section updating stream in response terminal During journey, the mobile management entity being located to before terminal movement is sent extension standards context request by mobile management entity Message, and then receive the context response information that the mobile management entity being located before terminal movement is returned.

By the extension carried out to standard context request message so that mobile management entity can be upper and lower by what is received In literary response message, the context for wherein carrying originally was both obtained, also registered the cluster for wherein being extended the terminal of carrying Context, and then cause mobile management entity to carry out cluster registration by the cluster registration context agent terminal of the terminal.

Fig. 3 is referred to, in one embodiment, method as above is further comprising the steps of：

Step 210, the cluster register flow path of the mobile management entity response terminal active initiation on terminal attaching ground, obtains cluster note Volume context, and store, so that the mobile management entity being located after terminal movement carries out the request that cluster registers context.

When terminal did not carried out cluster registration, there is not any cluster registration upper and lower in terminal and mobile management entity Text, now, terminal actively will initiate cluster register flow path to mobile management entity, and then by terminal and mobile management entity Communication formed cluster registration context, while storage cluster register context in terminal and mobile management entity.Should manage Solution, the registration of cluster first of terminal is completed by the mobile management entity on terminal attaching ground.

In other words, the sound of cluster register flow path of the mobile management entity on terminal attaching ground by actively initiating terminal Should, you can get cluster registration context, for subsequent terminal ownership place mobile management entity be terminal in clustered control Cluster registration first is carried out in functive.

Further, the mobile management entity on terminal attaching ground is after cluster registration context is stored, you can for end The mobile management entity being located after end is mobile provides cluster registration context.

It should be appreciated that what the movement of terminal was necessarily originated by its ownership place, and the mobile management entity of its ownership place is made To be stored with the mobile management entity at place before first movement, cluster registers context, therefore, no matter how SS later moves It is dynamic（For example, terminal is moved to remaining visited place or returns to its ownership place）, the mobile management entity institute being located after terminal movement The cluster registration context that request is obtained is the mobile management entity for initially coming from terminal attaching ground.

Step 230, addition terminal positional information and cluster register context to cluster registration message, obtain carried terminal position Confidence ceases and cluster registers the cluster registration message of context.

As it was previously stated, terminal positional information is to be stored in mobile management by the standard LTE signaling process performed by terminal In entity.After terminal positional information and cluster registration context is got, you can formation carries terminal positional information With the cluster registration message that cluster registers context.

Step 250, signalling of bouquet registration message is to corresponding clustered control functive so that terminal is in clustered control function Body carries out cluster registration first.

Clustered control functive will be carried out by the cluster registration message after cluster registration message is received to terminal Cluster registration first, and it is upper and lower that the corresponding cluster registration of the cluster registration is preserved after the cluster first for completing the terminal is registered Text so that terminal attaching ground the corresponding clustered control functive of mobile management entity know the terminal position and The terminal completes cluster registration first.

By method as above, the registration of cluster first of terminal is realized, as long as terminal keeps open state and begins Eventually its ownership place is not left, then all preserved in the mobile management entity and its corresponding clustered control functive on terminal attaching ground Cluster registers context, and knows terminal position, so as to ensure that terminal can at any time carry out cluster industry in its ownership place Business, is also beneficial to asking for the cluster registration context that mobile management entity is carried out after across the mobile management entity movement of subsequent terminal Ask.

Fig. 4 is referred to, in one embodiment, method as above is further comprising the steps of：

Step 170, mobile management entity receives the second extension standards context request message, the second extension standards context request Message is that the mobile management entity being located after second terminal movement sends.

Step 190, mobile management entity the second context response information of return being located to after second terminal movement, second The cluster registration context of second terminal is carried in context response information.

In the present embodiment, mobile management entity is the mobile management entity on terminal attaching ground, is actively initiated by terminal Cluster register flow path, the cluster registration context of the terminal that is stored with the mobile management entity.

Thus, the mobile management entity can provide cluster registration up and down for the mobile management entity being located after terminal movement Text.

Specifically, after with terminal movement, the base station belonging to it there occurs and be illustrated as a example by change.Now, terminal meeting The mobile management entity being located to after movement initiates switching flow, is located after response terminal performs in the switching flow, be mobile Mobile management entity will to terminal attaching ground mobile management entity request cluster registration context, that is, cause terminal attaching ground Mobile management entity receive extension standards context request message, and then the cluster registration context of terminal will be carried Context response information is back to the mobile management entity being located after terminal movement, so that the mobile management being located after terminal movement Entity registers context agent terminal and carries out cluster registration by the cluster of the terminal.

It is noted that in other application scene, mobile management entity can also be the moving tube of terminal visited place Reason entity, as long as the cluster registration context of the terminal has been arrived in its mobile management entity request being located to before terminal movement, just Can for terminal continue to move to mobile management entity extremely cluster registration context is provided.

In one embodiment, after step 150 or step 250, method as above is further comprising the steps of：

Clustered control functive receives the cluster registration message that mobile management entity sends, to pass through cluster registration message to terminal Carry out cluster registration.

In different core net frameworks, although mobile management entity is a pair with the corresponding relation of clustered control functive One, but for clustered control functive, the mobile management entity corresponding to it may then have multiple, i.e. clustered control work( Energy body can be one-to-one, or one-to-many with the corresponding relation of mobile management entity.Heterogeneous network is introduced into for this Concept, so-called heterogeneous network refers to and is made up of two or more network interconnections, include in each network to A few mobile management entity and a corresponding clustered control functive, and each network affiliation is in different operators.

Based on this, in heterogeneous network, or a clustered control functive is corresponding to the mobile management reality on terminal attaching ground Body, or corresponding to the mobile management entity of terminal visited place；In non-heterogeneous network, a clustered control functive then may be same When corresponding to terminal attaching ground mobile management entity and terminal visited place mobile management entity.

Further, in heterogeneous network, terminal carry out the processing scheme of cluster registration can be divided into it is following two：If eventually End is that the clustered control functive corresponding to the mobile management entity on terminal attaching ground carries out cluster registration, then it is assumed that terminal Cluster registration is carried out in its ownership place.If terminal is the clustered control corresponding to the mobile management entity in terminal visited place Functive carries out cluster registration, then it is assumed that the cluster registration of terminal is carried out in its visited place.

No matter above-mentioned which kind of scene, clustered control functive, all will be according to cluster after cluster registration message is received Entrained information carries out cluster registration to terminal in registration message.

Fig. 5 is referred to, in one embodiment, a kind of terminal cluster register method, methods described is by clustered control functive Perform, comprise the following steps：

Step 310, clustered control functive receives the cluster registration message that mobile management entity sends.

Cluster registration message is that mobile management entity proxy terminal carries out cluster registration or response terminal is actively initiated Cluster register flow path is sent.

It is appreciated that the terminal for not carrying out cluster registration is typically all the new terminal for networking, and the terminal for newly networking enters Entoilage point is typically terminal attaching ground, and thus, terminal actively initiates the shifting that the object of cluster register flow path should be terminal attaching ground Dynamic management entity.And the mobile management entity for carrying out cluster trade mark agency is then the movement after across the mobile management entity movement of terminal Management entity, terminal necessarily have left its ownership place and be moved to visited place.

In other words, the cluster registration message that clustered control functive is received both had been probably the moving tube of terminal visited place Reason entity is sent, it is also possible to what the mobile management entity on terminal attaching ground was sent.For clustered control functive Speech, as long as mobile management entity have sent cluster registration message, is just carried out according to its cluster registration message for receiving to terminal Cluster is registered.

Step 330, by extract in cluster registration message terminal positional information and cluster registration context.

As it was previously stated, the cluster registration message that the mobile management entity is sent is to carry terminal positional information and cluster Registration context, correspondingly, by extracting to cluster registration message, will obtain terminal positional information and cluster registration is upper and lower Text.

Step 350, according to the terminal positional information registered terminal position extracted.

After terminal positional information is extracted, clustered control functive will be in place to terminal institute by terminal positional information Put and registered, and then can know whether terminal position there occurs change by the terminal position registered, while Also will learn whether the mobile management entity that terminal is located there occurs change.

Step 370, updates the cluster registration context for extracting, and stores.

If it is appreciated that the cluster register flow path that terminal is actively initiated to mobile management entity, then clustered control function The cluster that is not stored with body registers context, if the cluster registration that mobile management entity proxy terminal is carried out, then collect team control Cluster registration context may have been saved in functive processed.

Therefore, after cluster registration context is extracted, clustered control functive will be carried out to cluster registration context Update storage, to guarantee clustered control functive in store cluster registration context updated.

By method as above, if the clustered control functive is in heterogeneous network, realizes terminal and visit at it The cluster registration visited in ground.If the clustered control functive is in non-heterogeneous network, it is accomplished that terminal in its ownership place Cluster registration.

Fig. 6 is referred to, in one embodiment, method as above is further comprising the steps of：

Step 380, clustered control functive registers the ownership place sign-on ID in context according to cluster, upper and lower by cluster registration Terminal is obtained in text carries out the address information of clustered control functive of cluster registration in its ownership place.

As it was previously stated, in heterogeneous network, terminal carry out the processing scheme of cluster registration can be divided into it is following two：Terminal Cluster is registered in its ownership place to carry out being registered in its visited place with the cluster of terminal is carried out.Therefore, clustered control functive by After the extraction of cluster registration context has been carried out in the cluster registration message for receiving, will be registered in context according to cluster Ownership place sign-on ID registers whether that needs are carried out in its ownership place come the cluster for judging terminal.

If the cluster registration of ownership place sign-on ID instruction terminal needs to be carried out in its ownership place, clustered control functive Also need to further be registered the address information that clustered control functive is obtained in context, the clustered control functive by cluster Address information labelling terminal carry out in its ownership place the clustered control functive of cluster registration.

Thus, terminal is obtained by the acquisition of the address information of the clustered control functive to be collected in its ownership place The clustered control functive of group's registration.

Step 390, according to the address information of clustered control functive the collection of cluster registration is carried out to terminal in its ownership place Group control functive sends the address information of cluster registration context and this clustered control functive for updating so that terminal is at it Ownership place carries out cluster registration.

The address information of clustered control functive is to set up in heterogeneous network to lead between multiple clustered control functives News connection, to realize the communication of multiple clustered control functives.Wherein, the address information of clustered control functive can pass through The IP address of clustered control functive is identifying clustered control functive, it is also possible to by the NE ID of clustered control functive come Mark clustered control functive, can also identify clustered control functive by the domain-name information of clustered control functive.

If the address information of clustered control functive is the address information of this clustered control functive, then it represents that terminal is The cluster registration in its ownership place is completed, conversely, then needing to enter in its ownership place with terminal by this clustered control functive The communication of the clustered control functive of row cluster registration, the cluster for completing terminal in its ownership place is registered.

Specifically, this clustered control functive will know that terminal belongs at it according to the address information of clustered control functive Carry out the clustered control functive of cluster registration, the cluster registration context for updating thus is sent to the clustered control functive And the address information of this clustered control functive.

Because terminal has preserved cluster registration up and down in its ownership place carries out the clustered control functive of cluster registration Text, therefore, the clustered control functive registers the ground of context and this clustered control functive in the cluster for receiving renewal Location information, will replace the cluster that wherein stored registration context, while by address information with the cluster registration context for updating Stored, cluster registration of the terminal in its ownership place is completed with this.

By method as above, no matter terminal how across mobile management entity movement in heterogeneous network, terminal is most The cluster registration of its ownership place is completed at last.

Fig. 7 is referred to, Fig. 7 illustrates full communication process of the terminal cluster register method during implementing.It is existing With reference to the application scenarios in Fig. 8 a to this implement process be illustrated it is as follows.

The new terminal 510 for networking is initiated after booting up attachment flow process, by execution step 401, to the moving tube of its ownership place Reason entity 530 actively initiates cluster register flow path.

The mobile management entity 530 on terminal attaching ground will process resulting collection by execution step 402 to step 403 Group's registration message reports to corresponding clustered control functive 570, so that clustered control functive 570 passes through execution step 404 pairs of terminals 510 carry out cluster registration.

Based on heterogeneous network, after across the mobile management entity movement of terminal 510, the mobile management entity 550 of terminal visited place First by execution step 405 to step 406, to the request cluster registration context of mobile management entity 530 on terminal attaching ground, Again by execution step 407 to step 408, active process obtains cluster registration message, and the cluster registration obtained by processing Information reporting is to corresponding clustered control functive 590, so that clustered control functive 590 carries out the phase that cluster registers context Should process.

Because the cluster registration of terminal 510 is carried out in its ownership place, clustered control functive 590 is updating cluster note After volume context, will by execution step 410, send to clustered control functive 570 the cluster registration context that updates with The address information of clustered control functive 590, so that clustered control functive 570 is entered by execution step 411 to terminal 510 The cluster registration of capable its ownership place.

By method as above, the terminal 510 of group service is not carried out after moving across mobile management entity, pass through The Agent cluster registration of mobile management entity 550, carries out at any time group service, and it does not perceive mobile status has to this Any impact, with the efficiency that this substantially increases terminal cluster business, improves the experience of terminal use.

It should be noted that technical scheme is not limited only to above-mentioned application scenarios, being applied equally to other should Use scene.For example, in the application scenarios shown in Fig. 8 b and 8c, 401 to step 409 the step of by performing shown in Fig. 7, eventually Hold the cluster registration carried out in the clustered control functive that will complete corresponding to the mobile management entity of its visited place.

The two is differed only in, and the application scenarios shown in Fig. 8 b belong to non-heterogeneous network, the moving tube on terminal attaching ground The mobile management entity 550 of reason entity 530 and terminal visited place corresponds to same clustered control functive 570, and Fig. 8 c institutes The application scenarios for showing belong to heterogeneous network, the mobile management entity 530 on terminal attaching ground and the mobile management reality of terminal visited place One clustered control functive of each correspondence of body 550 570,590, and the cluster of terminal is registered in its visited place and carries out.

And heterogeneous network is based on, and contrast refers to Fig. 8 a and Fig. 8 c, by the execution step 409 of clustered control functive 590, or Person, execution step 409 is to step 411 so that the cluster registration of terminal can be carried out in its visited place, can be with its ownership place Carry out, with the operation demand that this meets different operators, enrich the application scenarios of terminal cluster registration.
