Background technology
Though second generation mobile communication system is increasingly mature as the development of global system for mobile communications (GSM), IS-95, this system provides voice service in Circuit-switched mode, and a spot of data service can only be provided.Along with the high speed development of internet (Internet) in recent years, based on the packet-switch technology of Internet protocol (IP) significant progress has been arranged, and will become the basis of future network.Meanwhile, data service has also become the mobile communication new growth point, and its vast potential for future development makes and it is believed that mobile network is with overall application IP technology realization data service.
At present, Wideband Code Division Multiple Access (WCDMA) (WCDMA), CDMA 2000 (CDMA2000) and TD SDMA (TD-SCDMA) system are the main flow systems of the third generation (3G) mobile communication, for the 3G (Third Generation) Moblie cooperative programme group (3GPP) and the 3GPP2 of the standard of formulation, IP will be as the important techniques direction.Among the 3GPP, the standard of WCDMA evolves to the all-IP of Release5 gradually from Release99, Release4; The data service of CDMA2000 is also fully based on IP.Therefore, the core net of future network will be a switching network of being made up of high-end router, carry out the quick forwarding of IP message, and the edge access layer of network can be intelligent more, various access technologies that can process user, carry out IP address assignment and route, protocol conversion, that finishes business converges functions such as user's authentication and accounting.Wherein, Release99, Release4 and Release5 are three versions of present WCDMA.
In various networkings and internetwork communication, gateway is very crucial, the requisite network equipment.Briefly, gateway is a kind of gateway, is used for two networks with identical or different architecture are coupled together, and two equipment in the network can be intercomed mutually.Relate to independently data gateway equipment of three classes in the existing various mobile communication system:
1) Serving GPRS Support Node (SGSN) and Gateway GPRS Support Node (GGSN)
Be mainly used in existing GPRS (GPRS) and WCDMA, wherein, gprs system is actual to be to introduce a kind of mobile communication system that forms after the data service in global system for mobile communications (GSM) system, in order to realize and the external packet data net, interconnected as Internet, and data service is provided.Fig. 1 is the networking schematic diagram of GPRS network, as shown in Figure 1, here, SGSN in system's packet domain the role and the role class of mobile switching centre/Visited Location Registor (MSC/VLR) in circuit domain seemingly, have the functions such as collection of network insertion control, Route Selection and forwarding, mobile management, session management, charge information.GGSN provides mobile network same external packet-switched as data gateway and router, as the intercommunication of Internet, the packet between packet domain user and the external data network is carried out route and encapsulation, and collecting charging information.Among the figure, dotted line is represented signaling interface, and solid line is represented signaling and data transfer interface.
The TD-SCDMA system can adopt the data gateway equipment identical with the WCDMA system.
2) packet data serving node (PDSN)
Be mainly used in CDMA 2000 1x systems, CDMA2000 1X network is built on second generation mobile communication system IS-95 basis, in order to data service to be provided.Fig. 2 is the networking schematic diagram of PDSN, as shown in Figure 2, here, the effect of PDSN is similar to the GGSN among the WCDMA, bear the data gateway between mobile radio communication and external packet data net and the function of router, the user who uses Packet data service is authenticated, for the mobile subscriber provides the data service access service, and collecting charging information.
3) access controller (AC)
Be mainly used in the wireless lan (wlan) system, the basic structure of wlan system is made of access point (AP) and access controller (AC), and, finally make the user realize the access service of mobile data in conjunction with Internet or the existing certificate server of other network (AS).Here, AP is the micro radio base station equipment of wlan network, finishes wireless access function, and AP also is a kind of network bridge, is used to be connected with spider lines and WLAN, and any WLAN terminal equipment all can insert outside Internet resources by corresponding AP.AC serves as gateway between internet and WLAN, its function comprises that packet encapsulation, route, forwarding realize IP operation; Support realizes access control based on the SIM card mode with based on the authentification of user of Web mode; Gather charge information.AC is the router supporting multiple Routing Protocol and support numerous network management functions, can directly or by user's remote dial authentication service (RADIUS) network link to each other with AS.
In order to provide service to the user, improve the traffic rating and the reliability of mobile communication, the notion of the network integration has been proposed.The so-called fusion just is meant two kinds of network interconnections supporting different protocol standards or covers identical zone simultaneously, supports to have double mode portable terminal and switches between two kinds of networks and roam.Mainly contain two classes: the GPRS or WCDMA and WLAN that can realize the network integration at present merge, and GSM and CDMA2000 1X merge.
For the fusion of GPRS and WLAN, operator increases the WLAN that disposes employing 802.11b technology at a lot of hot zones that have GPRS network, or disposes the WLAN that adopts the 802.11b technology at hot zones, special area that GPRS network does not cover.In such cases, the mobile data of low rate inserted during the GPRS mobile network can provide, and WLAN can provide the access of high speed wireless data for the user, so, dual-mode subscriber can be enjoyed at a high speed and two kinds of access waies of middle low speed, and, switching and the roaming of network support dual-mode subscriber between net.Dual-mode subscriber described here is meant to adopt supports bimodulus access module mobile terminal user.Generally, when dual-mode subscriber need switch between GPRS and WLAN, this user need be interrupted current connection, registers to the purpose network again, communicates after succeeding in registration again.
For the fusion of GSM and CDMA2000 1x, a kind of GSM 1X system has been proposed, make GSM user in CDMA2000 1X network, can use the data service of original business of GSM and CDMA20001X simultaneously.In such cases, GSM user uses GSM+CDMA2000 1X dual-mode handset, and seamless switching between GSM network and GSM1x network uses in CDMA2000 1x network and former GSM the same circuit domain business and data service of CDMA2000 1x in netting.
On network was realized, concrete way was: change the mobile network MSC partly of CDMA2000 1x into mobile exchange point (MSN), and service network adopts the relevant device of GSM fully.The function of MSN is with the signaling in the CDMA2000 1x wireless access network (RAN), the attaching position register (HLR), short message service center (SMSC) etc. that are mapped to MAP (MAP) agreement and GSM network are mutual, and the user still adopts the flow process of CDMA2000 1x Packet Service at the Packet Service of GSM 1x.
As can be seen from the above analysis, GSM 1x only considers to merge the circuit domain business of GSM and CDMA2000 1x, and do not consider the fusion of Packet data service, the dual-mode handset user is in CDMA2000 1x network, can use with gsm system in duplicate circuit domain, be the speech domain business, but the data service that provides by the PDSN in the CDMA2000 1x network can only be provided, have certain limitation.And the present situation that GPRS and WLAN merge is, when dual-mode subscriber moves to the WLAN coverage territory from the GPRS overlay area, need land again, can not guarantee dual-mode subscriber continuity of business when mobile between two kinds of networks like this.
The more important thing is, different wireless communication systems often uses different architectures and equipment to realize the function of data gateway, if operator runs the network of multiple standard simultaneously,, cause the serious wasting of resources with bringing the repeated construction of authentication, charging and backstage OSS.For the user, multimode user will be difficult to free-roaming, seamless switching in different network systems.And existing unified access method only provides limited fusion, does not have versatility, is unfavorable for the upgrading of network.

Simultaneously, the common data processing module of Media Gateway part is set up the binding information that is connected with this port, the CDR information that is formed for chargeing, and regularly circulate a notice of Access Server part by predetermined policy, or sending to it according to the requirement of Access Server part, concrete communication is finished in the FTP mode by the Mp between Access Server part and the Media Gateway part.
The UE authentication by and set up data channel after, can realize normal communication.When UE will be under current mobile communications network switch to another kind of target mobile communication when online, UE needs to register with data channel in the destinations traffic net again to set up process, after succeeding in registration, be released in system resource shared in the sources traffic net simultaneously.Described here will switching has two kinds of situations: the current zone of living in of a kind of UE of being discovery self becomes another kind of mobile radio communication from a kind of mobile communications network; Another kind is that UE initiatively requires to switch current affiliated mobile communications network.
According to switching the different of the current belonging network of UE and the objective network that will switch to, be divided into following several situation:
A) UE switches to CDMA 2000 systems from WCDMA.
A1. detect self when the WCDMA net enters CDMA 2000 net as UE, UE proposes authentication request to the IPv6 multi-protocol data gateway that connects CDMA 2000, contains the IMSI information of SIM card in this authentication request message.
A2. the common signaling processing module is finished authentication to UE by CDMA 2000 signaling processing modules.
A3. after authentication is passed through, the common signaling processing module by WCDMA signaling processing module notice UE be tuned to CDMA 2000 channels, notify RNC and base station (Node B) in the WCDMA net to discharge the shared related resource of UE simultaneously.
After the a4.UE channel tuner was finished, common signaling processing module notice CDMA 2000 signaling processing modules were finished the data channel of UE and are set up process.
A5. in the process of carrying out step a1~a4, the data that external packet data network (PDN) sends to UE can be stored in the public buffer area of common data processing module in the IPv6 multi-protocol data gateway, are partly carried out by common signaling processing module notice Media Gateway.After the CDMA2000 data processing channel was set up, the data that will be stored in public buffer area again were sent on the UE by new A10 connection.
B) UE switches to wlan system from WCDMA.
B1.UE detects self and enters WLAN when net from the WCDMA net, and UE proposes authentication request to the IPv6 multi-protocol data gateway that connects WLAN, contains the IMSI information of SIM card in this authentication request message.
B2. the common signaling processing module is finished authentication to UE by the WLAN signaling processing module.
B3. after authentication was passed through, the common signaling processing module tuned the antenna to the WLAN channel by WCDMA signaling processing module notice UE, notified RNC and Node B in the WCDMA net to discharge the shared related resource of UE simultaneously.
After the b4.UE channel tuner was finished, common signaling processing module notice WLAN signaling processing module was finished the process of setting up of data channel.
B5. in the process of carrying out step b1~b4, the data that outside PDN sends to UE can be stored in the public buffer area of common data processing module in the IPv6 multi-protocol gateway, are partly carried out by common signaling processing module notice Media Gateway.After the WLAN data processing channel was set up, the data that will be stored in public buffer area again were sent on the UE by corresponding AC and AP.
C) UE switches to the WCDMA system from CDMA2000.
D) UE switches to wlan system from CDMA2000.
E) UE switches to the WCDMA system from WLAN.
F) UE switches to the CDMA2000 system from WLAN.
Situation c is basic identical to the specific implementation process of situation d and situation a or b, switch preceding communication network by common signaling processing module notice and discharge respective resources, by the data of issuing UE in the interim bank switching process of public buffer area, it is different with the module of setting up data channel just to participate in carrying out authentication, all is to be realized by the signaling processing module of corresponding destinations traffic network.
Above-mentioned certain UE carries out authentication again and sets up data channel, and discharges original shared system resource; And carrying out authentication and setting up in the data channel process again, the data that this UE should receive are stored temporarily, after data channel was set up successfully, the process that retransfers to this UE promptly was referred to as to deliver process.In actual applications, deliver process and be not only applicable to handoff procedure between the different mobile communication net; And can be used for the process that routing update or PCF upgrade, the entity difference of carrying out in the present invention just.Wherein, the routing update process is followed the 3GPP standard, and PCF upgrades the 3GPP2 standard of following.
When UE carries out normal transfer of data, be with the UE transfer of data in multi-protocol data gateway MediaGateway part, by with UE current under the corresponding data processing module of mobile communications network, the UE uniform data is encapsulated as the IPv6 packet, be sent to IP kernel heart net, in IP kernel heart net, transmit.
In the WCDMA network, in Media Gateway part, the WCDMA data processing module of Media Gateway part takes out the data among the GTP-U to the UE data by the GTP-U tunnel transmission, is packaged into the IPv6 bag, puts into IP kernel heart net and transmits.
In the CDMA2000 network, the UE data are transferred in the Media Gateway part by gre tunneling, and Media Gateway partial C DMA2000 data processing module takes out the data among the GRE, are packaged into the IPv6 bag, put into IP kernel heart net and transmit.
In wlan network, according to the characteristics of WLAN net support IP operation, the data of UE promptly become the IPv6 packet by behind the AC, and so, the WLAN data processing module of Media Gateway part only need be transmitted the IP packet of receiving from AC and get final product.
The above is preferred embodiment of the present invention only, is not to be used to limit protection scope of the present invention.
