Specific embodiment

To keep the technical problem to be solved in the present invention, technical solution and advantage clearer, below in conjunction with attached drawing and tool Body embodiment is described in detail.

Term " first ", " second " in description and claims of this specification etc. are for distinguishing similar right As without being used to describe a particular order or precedence order.It should be understood that the data used in this way in the appropriate case can be with It exchanges, so that the embodiment of the present invention described herein for example can be with suitable other than those of illustrating or describing herein Sequence is implemented.

Since base station (eNodeB) quantity determines Cell tracing message number.The number of users of single eNodeB has its capacity limit System, and the maximum signaling message generated in the unit time is also determination, therefore, is generated most in the single eNodeB unit time Big Cell tracing message count is also it was determined that then the quantity of eNodeB just determines that Cell tracing message is most in the unit time Big item number.So can achieve the purpose that limit Cell tracing message count by the quantity of limitation processing eNodeB, thus Cell tracing business is limited in service layer.

For this purpose, Fig. 1 is a kind of flow chart of the method for Cell tracing message provided in an embodiment of the present invention, referring to Fig. 1, institute State method the following steps are included:

S101 obtains the Cell tracing message that current base station is sent.

It should be noted that including the base station information of the current base station in the Cell tracing message.

S102, if the current base station in the collection of base stations being allowed to, judges the cell received in the predetermined time Whether the quantity for tracking message is more than the limitation of Cell tracing message count.

If the quantity of the Cell tracing message received in the predetermined time is limited more than Cell tracing message count, execute S103；If the quantity of the Cell tracing message received in the predetermined time is limited not above Cell tracing message count, execute S104；

Optionally, it can will be set as the unit time predetermined time, that is, can determine whether the Cell tracing received in the unit time Whether the quantity of message is more than the limitation of Cell tracing message count, by configure allow the cell that is handled within the unit time of MME with Track message number determines that the processing mode of Cell tracing message that MME is received is of course not solely limited to this.

Whether the quantity for judging the Cell tracing message received in the predetermined time is more than what Cell tracing message count limited There are many kinds of implementations, for example, be arranged in MME network element the cell of predetermined time (for example, unit time) interior MME processing with Track message counter." message counter " is initially 0 when the unit time starts, when MME receives Cell tracing message and determines When handling this Cell tracing message surely, by " message counter " plus 1, then judge " message counter " there is following 2 Kind scene:

When " message counter " value is greater than the limitation Cell tracing message number of configuration, then abandons the Cell tracing and disappear Breath；

When " message counter " is less than or equal to the limitation Cell tracing message number of configuration, then current area tracking is handled Information and sending is reported to tracking entity to OMM again.

It should be noted that the Cell tracing message count limitation can be set as needed.

S103 then abandons the Cell tracing message that the current base station is sent.

S104, then the Cell tracing message sent to the current base station are handled.

In the present embodiment, if the quantity of the base station in the collection of base stations is less than limitation quantity, work as described in discarding The Cell tracing message that preceding base station is sent, the Cell tracing message that the current base station is sent will not be reported to tracking entity In, MME itself can not only be protected in this way, and the Cell tracing that wireless maintenance personnel can also be reminded to close unwanted eNodeB disappears Breath.When the method for the Cell tracing message of the embodiment of the present invention can be used for wireless side eNodeB initiation Cell tracing, pass through core Net MME network element controls the processing quantity of Cell tracing message, to reach the mesh for protecting MME network element not impacted by magnanimity tracking message 's.

On the basis of flow chart shown in Fig. 1, the embodiment of the invention provides the method for another Cell tracing message, Referring to fig. 2, comprising the following steps:

S201 obtains the Cell tracing message that current base station is sent.

Whether S202 judges the current base station in the collection of base stations being allowed to；If the current base station is being allowed to Collection of base stations in, execute S203；If the current base station not in the collection of base stations being allowed to, executes S204.

S203 judges whether the quantity of the Cell tracing message received in the predetermined time is more than Cell tracing message count limit System.If the quantity of the Cell tracing message received in the predetermined time is limited more than Cell tracing message count, S206 is executed；Such as The quantity of the Cell tracing message received in the fruit predetermined time is limited not above Cell tracing message count, executes S207.

Optionally, it can will be set as the unit time predetermined time, that is, can determine whether the Cell tracing received in the unit time Whether the quantity of message is more than the limitation of Cell tracing message count, is of course not solely limited to this.

S204 judges whether the quantity of the base station in the collection of base stations is more than limitation quantity；If the collection of base stations In the quantity of base station be less than limitation quantity, execute S205；If the quantity of the base station in the collection of base stations is more than limitation Quantity executes S206.

It should be noted that the quantity of the base station in collection of base stations described in eNodeB (base station) counters count can be used.

Judge the base station in the collection of base stations quantity whether be more than limit quantity implementation there are many kinds of, example Such as, setting " be allowed to eNodeB set " (being initially empty) in MME, for storing Cell tracing that eNodeB is sended over ENodeB information, and " eNodeB counter " (being initially 0) is set to store the eNodeB quantity of " being allowed to eNodeB set ". After MME receives Cell tracing message, the eNodeB information in message is obtained, then eNodeB information is judged, just like Lower 2 kinds of scenes:

When current eNodeB information is not present in " being allowed to eNodeB set ", if " eNodeB counter " value is less than Equal to configuration limitation eNodeB quantity when, then continue with current area tracking message, and by current eNodeB information record To in " being allowed to eNodeB set ", simultaneously " eNodeB counter " plus 1；If " eNodeB counter " value is greater than the limit of configuration When eNodeB quantity processed, then abandons the Cell tracing message and do not handled.

When having existed current eNodeB information in " being allowed to eNodeB set ", then continues with current area tracking and disappear Breath.

The base station information of current base station is stored in the collection of base stations by S205.

It should be noted that the base station information of current base station is stored in the collection of base stations every time, then eNodeB is counted Device adds 1.Then and execute whether the quantity for the Cell tracing message for judging to receive in the predetermined time is more than Cell tracing message The step of number limitation.

S206 abandons the Cell tracing message that the current base station is sent.

S207, the Cell tracing message sent to the current base station are handled.

When the method for the Cell tracing message of the embodiment of the present invention can be used for wireless side eNodeB initiation Cell tracing, pass through Core net MME network element controls the processing quantity of Cell tracing message, protects MME network element not by magnanimity tracking message impact to reach Purpose.Meanwhile message count threshold value is tracked by setting, the tracking message for being more than threshold value is abandoned, to ensure MME and its The normal operation of OMM, to realize accurate control in face of apparatus of load in software system layer.

In order to meet wireless side for the use demand of Cell tracing, eNodeB Cell tracing mode need to be set in MME. ENodeB Cell tracing mode refers to that (new eNodeB refers to not " being allowed to eNodeB set " MME in processing " new eNodeB " ENodeB in (collection of base stations being allowed to)) initiate Cell tracing message when tactful mode.ENodeB Cell tracing Mode is divided into conversion mode and non-conversion mode.

When conversion mode refers to that " the eNodeB counter " of MME reaches the eNodeB quantity limitation for initiating Cell tracing, " new eNodeB " (i.e. current base station) can seize " oldest in " being allowed to eNodeB set " after initiating Cell tracing ENodeB " (i.e. current time and eNodeB initiate nearest one difference for tracking message time, i.e. first base station).After conversion, The Cell tracing message of " new eNodeB " can be handled by MME, if converted eNodeB initiates Cell tracing message again, It will continue " the old eNodeB " seized in " being allowed to eNodeB set " remaining eNodeB as " new eNodeB ", in this way, just Cell tracing can ceaselessly be initiated by being equivalent to each eNodeB, and limitation purpose is not achieved.

In order to solve problem above, protection duration (protecting duration in i.e. preset base station) can be set to eNodeB, protected ENodeB in duration will not be seized, in this way, can quick response " new eNodeB " initiate tracking request and MME is not hit when " new eNodeB " has not stopped paying out tracking request.On the basis of flow chart shown in Fig. 1, the present invention is implemented Example provides the method for another Cell tracing message, referring to Fig. 3, comprising the following steps:
