Description
Technical field
The present invention relates to the network interconnection technology, be meant the System and method for of a kind of universal mobile telecommunications system (UMTS, Universal Mobile Telecommunications System) network and evolvement network interconnection especially.
Background technology
The UMTS network is the cordless communication network technical standard of third generation partner program (3GPP, 3rd Generation PartnershipProiect) tissue definition, has issued R99, R4, R5 and four versions of R6.
Fig. 1 shows the networking schematic diagram of existing UMTS network, and as shown in Figure 1, the UMTS network is made up of core network (CN, Core Network) and UMTS Terrestrial radio access network network (UTRAN, UMTS Terrestrial Radio Access Network).CN comprises circuit domain and packet domain two parts, wherein, circuit domain comprises the (MSC of mobile switching centre, Mobile Switch Center)/VLR Visitor Location Register (VLR, Visiting Location Register) and attaching position register (HLR, Home Location Register), packet domain comprises service universal packet wireless business affair (GPRS, GeneralPacket Radio Service) support node (SGSN, Serving GPRS Support Node) and Gateway GPRS Support Node (GGSN, Gateway GPRS Support Node).UTRAN comprises more than one RNS (RNS, Radio Network Subsystem), and each RNS is made up of a radio network controller (RNC, Radio Network Controller) and an above base station (Node B).The interface of UTRAN and circuit domain CN be circuit switching (CS, Iu interface CircuitSwitch) abbreviates Iu-CS interface as; With the interface of packet domain CN be the Iu interface of packet switching (PS, Packet Switch), abbreviate Iu-PS interface as.
The Iu interface is the key interface of Radio Access Network (RAN, Radio Access Network) and CN, is isolated in the UTRAN by the management and the control of Iu interface with Radio Resource, makes CN that professional providing only need be provided, and need not to consider access technology again.The UMTS network of R99 and two versions of R4 is based on asynchronous transfer mode (ATM, Asynchronous Transfer Mode) transmit, the host-host protocol that is mainly reflected in the Iub interface between Iu interface, the Iur interface between the RNS, RNC and the Node B between RAN and the CN adopts atm technology.Behind R5 version and the R5 version, UMTS network support Internet protocol (IP, Internet Protocol) transmission, the host-host protocol that is mainly reflected in the Iub interface between Iu interface, the Iur interface between the RNS, RNC and the Node B between RAN and the CN adopts the IP technology.
Subscriber equipment (UE, User Equipment) and the interface between the UTRAN be air interface Uu, the chain of command of Uu interface is by Radio Resource control (RRC, Radio Resource Control) layer, Radio Link control (RLC, Radio Link Control) layer, medium access control (MAC, MediumAccess Control) layer and L1 layer are formed, user's face is by packet data convergence protocol (PDCP, PacketData Convergence Protocol) layer, rlc layer, MAC layer and L1 layer, rrc layer, the PDCP layer, rlc layer and MAC layer are arranged in the RNC of UTRAN, and the L1 layer is arranged in the NodeB of UTRAN.L1 is usually said physical layer, mainly refers to wireless channel.
Fig. 2 A shows the chain of command agreement schematic diagram of UE, UTRAN and SGSN in the existing UMTS network, and shown in Fig. 2 A, RRC agreement, rlc protocol, MAC agreement and L1 agreement are the peer protocols that is present in UE and UTRAN simultaneously; And Radio Access Network Application Part (RANAP, Radio Access Network Application Part) agreement, SCCP (SCCP, Signalling Connection Application Control Part) agreement, partial message transmission (MTP, Message Transfer Part) third level user adaptation layer (M3UA, MTP3-User AdaptationLayer) agreement/SCTP (SCTP, Stream Control Transmission Protocol)/IP, L2 agreement and L1 agreement are the peer protocols that is present in UTRAN and SGSN simultaneously; GPRS Mobility Management (GMM, GPRS Mobility Management) agreement/session management (SM, SessionManagement) agreement/short message service (SMS, Short Message Service) agreement is the peer protocol that is present in UE and SGSN simultaneously.Peer protocol is meant that the agreement that is positioned at two ends need carry out interacting message and finish whole communication process.Wherein, the RANAP of Iu interface provides transparent transmission channel for upstream data and downlink data, be used to be carried on interactive signaling message between the upper strata GMM/SM/SMS of UE and SGSN, relaying (Relay) layer is in the inner function that realizes RRC agreement and RANAP mutual mapping of UTRAN.
Fig. 2 B shows the user plane protocol schematic diagram of UE, UTRAN and SGSN in the existing UMTS network, and shown in Fig. 2 B, PDCP, rlc protocol, MAC agreement, L1 agreement are the peer protocols that is present in UE and UTRAN simultaneously; And GPRS user's face tunnel protocol (GTP-U, GPRSTunnelling Protocol-User), User Datagram Protoco (UDP) (UDP, User Data Protocol), IP, L2 agreement and L1 agreement are the peer protocols that is present in UTRAN and SGSN simultaneously; IP/ end-to-end protocol (PPP, Peer-Peer Protocol) is the peer protocol that is present in UE and SGSN simultaneously.Wherein, GTP-U can set up data tunnel, is used to carry the packet of upper-layer protocol IP/PPP, and the Relay layer is in the inner function that realizes PDCP and GTP-U mutual mapping of UTRAN.
Current, 3GPP is studying the UMTS network next generation network of evolution backward, this network is called evolvement network (Evolved Network) herein, and formulates the correlation technique standard of evolvement network.Evolvement network will have a lot of new characteristics, for example, only provide the packet-type business, and real time business such as voice, visual telephone also will provide in the mode of grouping; Realize complete IP network, promptly each node device interconnects by IP network in the network, and each subscriber terminal equipment also is assigned the IP address; Switching and roaming between support and the UMTS network; For real time business, the time of switching between system is no more than 300 milliseconds, and for non-real-time service, the time of switching between system is no more than 500 milliseconds.
For realizing switching and the roaming between evolvement network and the UMTS network, 3GPP proposes solution as shown in Figure 3, the right is the UMTS network among Fig. 3, the left side is an evolvement network, because evolvement network only provides the packet-type business, therefore, only the interconnected relationship between UMTS grouping of network territory and the evolvement network is described among Fig. 3.Radio Access Network (EvolvedRAN) and packet core network evolution after (Evolved Packet Core Network) of evolvement network after by evolution formed.The interface of (Internet) all is the Gi interface to the Internet for packet core network after the evolution and GGSN, and the R1 interface is the interface between access network and the core network in the evolvement network, adopts GPRS Tunnel Protocol (GTP, GPRS Tunnelling Protocol); The Iu interface is the interface between UTRAN and the CN in the UMTS network; Gn interface is the interface between SGSN and the GGSN in the UMTS network.For realizing switching and the roaming between evolvement network and the UMTS network, SGSN and evolution block core net network interconnect, and the interface between the two still adopts gn interface, can reduce the influence to SGSN.Bimodulus UE (Hybrid UE) is meant the subscriber terminal equipment that can either use, also can use in evolvement network in the UMTS network.
When SGSN in bimodulus UE access UMTS network and this UMTS network and evolvement network interconnection, bimodulus UE will be registered to evolvement network by gn interface by SGSN.The uplink business data of bimodulus UE at first arrives UTRAN by the Uu interface by bimodulus UE, arrive SGSN from UTRAN by the Iu interface, arrive the evolution block core net network from SGSN by gn interface then, cross the Gi interface from the evolution block core net ruton at last and arrive Internet; The downlink service data of bimodulus UE arrives the evolution block core net network from Internet by the Gi interface, cross gn interface from the evolution block core net ruton and arrive SGSN, arrive UTRAN from SGSN by the Iu interface then, arrive bimodulus UE from UTRAN by the Uu interface at last.
In order to reduce the influence to the UMTS network, SGSN will remain unchanged and still carry out the mobile management function.For bimodulus UE can be switched between UTRAN and evolvement network and roam, the evolution block core net network also needs to carry out the mobile management function.The switching flow of gn interface will be used to realize the switching of bimodulus UE between two networks.
According to above description as seen, for guaranteeing that bimodulus UE can switch in the UMTS network and between UMTS network and the evolvement network and roam, SGSN and evolution block core net network all need to carry out mobile management, and need each other to cooperate, this has not only increased the signaling of gn interface, and has reduced the efficient of mobile management.In addition, when bimodulus UE moves to when having only the UMTS network coverage regional from evolution accessing network, to switch between executive system to guarantee professional continuity, at this moment, need set up gn interface and the two segment data links of the Iu interface between UTRAN and the SGSN between evolution block core net network and the SGSN, this can cause the increase of switching time undoubtedly, and 3GPP to switch between system the time intercropping harsh requirement.

Embodiment
For making the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention clearer, the present invention is described in further detail below in conjunction with accompanying drawing.
Among the present invention, UTRAN in the UMTS network is linked to each other with packet core network in the evolvement network, thereby when bimodulus UE switches and roams, only carry out mobile management between UMTS network and evolvement network, improve the efficient of mobile management by the evolution block core net network; And, when bimodulus UE moves to when having only the UMTS network coverage regional from evolution accessing network, only need set up the one piece of data link between evolution block core net network and the UTRAN, save switching time, satisfy the harsh requirement of 3GPP easilier switching time between system.
Further, can link to each other by Interface R3 between UTRAN and the evolution block core net network, this Interface R3 adopts and the essentially identical agreement of Iu interface, to reduce the influence to existing UTRAN; And, on the basis of Iu interface protocol, carry out increased functionality to satisfy specific demand.
In addition, can pass through the interface protocol that functional entity internetworking function (IWF, Interworking Function) unit is realized and UTRAN communicates in the evolution block core net network, and finish the interconnection of evolvement network and UTRAN.
Fig. 4 shows UMTS network and evolvement network interconnection structure schematic diagram among the present invention, and as shown in Figure 4, the UTRAN in the UMTS network directly inserts the evolution block core net network by Interface R3.When bimodulus UE inserted UTRAN, UTRAN was registered to evolution molecule core network by Interface R3 with bimodulus UE.The mobile management of bimodulus UE in UTRAN concentrated by the evolution block core net network and finished.The uplink business data of bimodulus UE at first arrives UTRAN by the Uu interface by bimodulus UE, arrives the evolution block core net network from UTRAN by Interface R3 then, crosses the Gi interface from the evolution block core net ruton at last and arrives Internet; The downlink service data of bimodulus UE arrives the evolution block core net network from Internet by the Gi interface, crosses Interface R3 from the evolution block core net ruton then and arrives UTRAN, arrives bimodulus UE from UTRAN by the Uu interface at last.Specifically can realize agreement by the IWF in the evolution block core net network with the essentially identical Interface R3 of Iu-PS interface, referring to shown in Figure 5, can reduce the influence to existing UTRAN, IWF finishes the mutual mapping between Interface R3 agreement and the evolution upper-layer protocol (Evolved Uplayer Protocol) simultaneously.UTRAN links to each other with the evolution block core net network, and the RNC that specifically can be among the UTRAN links to each other with IWF unit in the evolution block core net network.
Fig. 5 shows Interface R3 protocol stack schematic diagram among the present invention, as shown in Figure 5, for reducing influence to existing UTRAN, Interface R3 adopts and the essentially identical interface protocol of Iu interface, transport layer adopts the IP technology, user's face is carried by GTP-U/UDP, and chain of command comprises RANAP, SCCP, M3UA and SCTP.Described RANAP can be the RANAP of enhancing, strengthening RANAP is meant on the basis of existing RANAP, increase some new features to satisfy the specific demand of Interface R3, for example, for realizing the switching of bimodulus UE between evolvement network and UMTS network, some flow processs of RANAP are changed, or increase has the information parameter of new implication etc., as for specifically how strengthening RANAP is not emphasis of the present invention, therefore, does not repeat them here.
Fig. 6 A shows the chain of command agreement schematic diagram of bimodulus UE, UTRAN and evolution block core net network among the present invention, as shown in Figure 6A, Interface R3 and Iu interface adopt essentially identical chain of command interface protocol, strengthening RANAP, SCCP, M3UA/SCTP/IP, L2 agreement and L1 agreement is the peer protocol that is present in UTRAN and evolution block core net network simultaneously, and the Relay layer is in the inner RRC of realization of UTRAN agreement and the function that strengthens the RANAP mutual mapping; Among the UTRAN, except that RANAP need strengthen, all the other agreements all need not to revise, and therefore, were dropped to minimum to the influence of existing UTRAN.The chain of command agreement that two protocol stacks are arranged in the bimodulus UE, one is the chain of command agreement that is used for the protocol stack of UMTS network, it is the chain of command agreement that bimodulus UE and UTRAN and SGSN communicate, RRC agreement, rlc protocol, MAC agreement and L1 agreement are the peer protocols that is present in bimodulus UE and UTRAN simultaneously, and GMM agreement/SM agreement/SMS agreement is the peer protocol that is present in bimodulus UE and SGSN simultaneously; Another is the chain of command agreement that is used for the protocol stack of evolvement network, it is the chain of command agreement that bimodulus UE and evolution accessing network and evolution block core net network communicate, because the chain of command interface protocol that bimodulus UE and evolution accessing network communicate is formulated, therefore, the air interface chain of command protocol description that among the present invention bimodulus UE and evolution accessing network is communicated is evolution chain of command Uu interface protocol (Evolved Uu Protocol), and the evolution upper-layer protocol is the peer protocol that is present in bimodulus UE and evolution block core net network simultaneously.The upper-layer protocol of bimodulus UE comprises the GMM agreement/SM agreement/SMS agreement of UMTS network and the evolution upper-layer protocol of evolvement network, and the evolution upper-layer protocol is carried out and GMM agreement/SM agreement/essentially identical function of SMS agreement.The evolution upper-layer protocol is the agreement that realizes functions such as mobile management and session management in the evolution block core net network, because related protocol is formulated, therefore, among the present invention the agreement that realizes functions such as mobile management and session management in the evolvement network is referred to as the evolution upper-layer protocol.
Fig. 6 B shows the user plane protocol schematic diagram of bimodulus UE, UTRAN and evolution block core net network among the present invention, shown in Fig. 6 B, Interface R3 adopts identical interface in the user plane agreement with the Iu interface, GTP-U, UDP/IP, L2 agreement and L1 agreement are the peer protocols that is present in UTRAN and evolution block core net network simultaneously, and the Relay layer is in the inner function that realizes PDCP and GTP-U mutual mapping of UTRAN; Need not to change the user plane protocol in the UTRAN, therefore, the user plane protocol of existing UTRAN is not affected.Two user face protocol stacks are arranged in the bimodulus UE, one is the user plane protocol that is used for the protocol stack of UMTS network, it is the user plane protocol that bimodulus UE and UTRAN communicate, PDCP, rlc protocol, MAC agreement, L1 agreement are the peer protocols that is present in UE and UTRAN simultaneously, and IP/PPP is the peer protocol that is present in bimodulus UE and SGSN simultaneously; Another is the chain of command agreement that is used for the protocol stack of evolvement network, it is the user plane protocol that bimodulus UE and evolution accessing network communicate, because the interface in the user plane agreement that bimodulus UE and evolution accessing network communicate is formulated, therefore, the air interface protocol that among the present invention bimodulus UE and evolution accessing network is communicated is described as evolution user face Uu interface protocol (Evolved Uu Protocol).IP/PPP is the peer protocol that is present in bimodulus UE and evolution block core net network simultaneously.Because the upper-layer protocol of UMTS network and evolvement network all is IP, therefore, the upper-layer protocol of bimodulus UE in UMTS network and evolvement network all is IP/PPP.
Because access network in the evolvement network and the R1 interface between the packet core network adopt GTP, GTP comprises GTP-U and GPRS chain of command tunnel protocol (GTP-C, GPRS TunnellingProtocol-Control), this shows, user's face of Interface R3 and R1 interface all adopts GTP-U, can reduce the development difficulty and the cost of Interface R3, help realizing the interconnection between UTRAN and the evolution block core net network.
Because UMTS network and evolvement network interconnection, like this, agreement that bimodulus UE uses and the data path between bimodulus UE and the Internet will insert different access networks and difference along with bimodulus UE, will the situation of bimodulus UE access different access networks be described in detail below.
UMTS network and evolvement network interconnection, i.e. UTRAN in the UMTS network and the evolution block core net network in evolvement network interconnection, UTRAN can indicate UTRAN in the system message of broadcasting and there is interconnected relationship in the evolution block core net network.When there were interconnected relationship in UMTS network and evolvement network, bimodulus UE inserted evolution accessing network, or inserts UTRAN, all needs to be registered to the evolution block core net network.When bimodulus UE is positioned at UTRAN, can insert the evolution block core net network by UTRAN.
When bimodulus UE inserts the evolution block core net network by UTRAN, bimodulus UE can determine current by UTRAN access evolution block core net network according to the system message of receiving, therefore, bimodulus UE protocol layer RRC, RLC, MAC and L1 are set to effectively, it is invalid that evolution chain of command Uu interface protocol is set to, upper-layer protocol evolution upper-layer protocol is set to effectively, it is invalid that the GMM agreement/the SM agreement/the SMS agreement is set to, shown in Fig. 7 A, grey font represents that respective protocol layer is invalid among the figure, and black font represents that respective protocol layer is effective.The register requirement of bimodulus UE routes to the evolution block core net network by UTRAN; If still keep the gn interface that interconnects between SGSN and the evolution block core net network, then the register requirement of bimodulus UE also can be sent to SGSN by the Iu interface by UTRAN, routes to the evolution block core net network by SGSN by gn interface then.
Correspondingly, for user face protocol stack, bimodulus UE protocol layer PDCP, RLC, MAC and L1 are set to effectively, and it is invalid that evolution user face Uu interface protocol is set to, and upper-layer protocol IP/PPP is effective all the time.
When bimodulus UE inserts the evolution block core net network by UTRAN, shown in Fig. 7 B, the uplink business data of bimodulus UE at first arrives UTRAN by the Uu interface by bimodulus UE, arrive the evolution block core net network from UTRAN by Interface R3 then, cross the Gi interface from the evolution block core net ruton at last and arrive Internet; The downlink service data of bimodulus UE arrives the evolution block core net network from Internet by the Gi interface, crosses Interface R3 from the evolution block core net ruton then and arrives UTRAN, arrives bimodulus UE from UTRAN by the Uu interface at last.
When bimodulus UE inserted the evolution block core net network by evolution accessing network, the bimodulus UE of this moment was equivalent to a single mode UE who only supports evolvement network.Bimodulus UE can be according to the frequency of current use or from the system message of evolvement network, determine current by evolution accessing network access evolution block core net network, therefore, bimodulus UE evolution chain of command Uu interface protocol is set to effectively, it is invalid that protocol layer RRC, RLC, MAC and L1 are set to, upper-layer protocol evolution upper-layer protocol is set to effectively, it is invalid that the GMM agreement/the SM agreement/the SMS agreement is set to, shown in Fig. 8 A, grey font represents that respective protocol layer is invalid among the figure, and black font represents that respective protocol layer is effective.The register requirement of bimodulus UE routes to the evolution block core net network by evolution accessing network.
Correspondingly, for user face protocol stack, bimodulus UE evolution user face Uu interface protocol is set to effectively, and it is invalid that protocol layer PDCP, RLC, MAC and L1 are set to, and upper-layer protocol IP/PPP is effective all the time.
When bimodulus UE inserts the evolution block core net network by evolution accessing network, shown in Fig. 8 B, the uplink business data of bimodulus UE at first arrives evolution accessing network by evolution user face Uu interface by bimodulus UE, arrive the evolution block core net network from evolution accessing network by the R1 interface then, cross the Gi interface from the evolution block core net ruton at last and arrive Internet; The downlink service data of bimodulus UE arrives the evolution block core net network from Internet by the Gi interface, cross the R1 interface from the evolution block core net ruton then and arrive evolution accessing network, arrive bimodulus UE from evolution accessing network by evolution user face Uu interface at last.
There are not interconnected relationship in UMTS network and evolvement network, and promptly UTRAN in the UMTS network and the evolution block core net network in the evolvement network do not interconnect, and UTRAN can indicate UTRAN in the system message of broadcasting and there is not interconnected relationship in the evolution block core net network.When bimodulus UE inserted SGSN by UTRAN, the bimodulus UE of this moment was equivalent to a single mode UE who only supports the UMTS network.When there are interconnected relationship in UMTS network and evolvement network, if bimodulus UE is arranged in UTRAN, both can insert the evolution block core net network by UTRAN, also can insert SGSN by UTRAN, when then bimodulus UE inserts SGSN by UTRAN, also can be considered the single mode UE that only supports the UMTS network.
When bimodulus UE inserts SGSN by UTRAN, bimodulus UE can determine current by UTRAN access SGSN according to the system message of receiving, therefore, bimodulus UE protocol layer RRC, RLC, MAC and L1 are set to effectively, it is invalid that evolution chain of command Uu interface protocol is set to, GMM agreement/SM agreement/SMS agreement is set to effectively, it is invalid that upper-layer protocol evolution upper-layer protocol is set to, shown in Fig. 9 A, grey font represents that respective protocol layer is invalid among the figure, and black font represents that respective protocol layer is effective.The register requirement of bimodulus UE routes to SGSN by UTRAN.
Correspondingly, for user face protocol stack, bimodulus UE protocol layer PDCP, RLC, MAC and L1 are set to effectively, and it is invalid that evolution user face Uu interface protocol is set to, and upper-layer protocol IP/PPP is effective all the time.
When bimodulus UE inserts SGSN by UTRAN, shown in Fig. 9 B, the uplink business data of bimodulus UE at first arrives UTRAN by the Uu interface by bimodulus UE, arrive SGSN from UTRAN by the Iu interface then, arrive GGSN from SGSN by gn interface again, arrive Internet from GGSN by the Gi interface at last; The downlink service data of bimodulus UE arrives GGSN from Internet by the Gi interface, arrives SGSN by gn interface then, arrives UTRAN from SGSN by the Iu interface again, arrives bimodulus UE from UTRAN by the Uu interface at last.
Therefore the above protocal layers, does not repeat them here the processing and existing formulate regular basic identical of business datum.
In a word, the above is preferred embodiment of the present invention only, is not to be used to limit protection scope of the present invention.
