Description
- This application claims the right of priority under 35 U.S.C. §119(e) from U.S. provisional patent application No. 61/275,266, filed Aug. 24, 2009, the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.
- Mobile services providers may operate multiple heterogeneous access technologies and networks. Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access (WiMAX) is a wireless communication access technology intended to be deployed in accordance with the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) standard referred to as IEEE 802.16. WiMAX networks provide broadband wireless communication over distances which are relatively long. Initial WiMAX deployment may cover only limited areas of service that may already be serviced by the third generation (3G) type cellular networks, such as promulgated by the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP). Thus, at least during initial deployment of WiMAX networks, islands of WiMAX coverage areas may exist within cellular 3G coverage areas. Hence, it may be useful for a 3G network service provider that deploys WiMAX services to converge WiMAX access and 3G access with seamless vertical mobility, or interaccess. Furthermore, dual mode devices that are capable of communicating with both 3G networks and WiMAX networks are expected to be deployed.
- Current solutions for network interaccess in 3GPP standards and the cellular industry utilize Layer 3 (L3) protocols (i.e., client-based Mobile IP) for providing mobility between access technologies. However, such L3 protocol-based methods require simultaneous radio operation of both access technologies to execute a handover operation between a 3GPP network and a WiMAX network. Further, client-based Mobile IP techniques may experience significant latency in performing interaccess handovers that could hinder operation of real-time services such as Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) applications or the like.
- Protocols have been developed in WiMAX to provide for single-radio handover between a WiMAX network and a 3GPP network. In single-radio handovers various network elements cooperate to manage the handover process between heterogeneous access networks.
- The detailed description is described with reference to the accompanying figures.

FIG. 1 , a block diagram of a wireless network illustrating a handover between two or more heterogeneous wireless networks in accordance with one or more embodiments will be discussed. As shown inFIG. 1 ,wireless network 100 may comprise a WiMAX accessnetwork coverage area 112 disposed in and/or proximate to a 3GPP accessnetwork coverage area 114. WiMAX accessnetwork coverage area 112 may be serviced by a WiMAX Base Station (WiMAX BS) 116, and likewise 3GPP accessnetwork coverage area 114 may be serviced by a3GPP access E-UTRAN 118, e.g., a 3GPP access network or a derivative thereof, although the scope of the claimed subject matter is not limited in this respect. - In one or more embodiments, a user equipment/mobile station (UE/MS) 110 may move between WiMAX access
network coverage area 112 and 3GPP accessnetwork coverage area 114.

In one or more embodiments,handover operation 120 may implement a handover method between WiMAX and 3GPP services where themobile station 110 may have one radio active at any given time. To enable single radio operation that a single radio module of a multi-communication platform is on at any given time, inter-radio access technology (inter-RAT) info exchange may be utilized. Example architectures of wireless networks capable of implementing a handover between access services is discussed with respect toFIG. 2 . - Referring now to

FIG. 2 , in brief overview the S101 interface between theMME 212 and theWiMAX BS 116 allows for preregistration and handover signaling to be exchanged in the context of a handover between networks. In some embodiments alayer 2 tunnel may be established between a UE/MS 110 and theWiMAX base station 116 and an S101 signaling interface may be implemented through thelayer 2 tunnel between theMME 212 and theWiMAX base station 116. MIH is an example of layer-2 tunnel, while other tunneling functions may be possible. Preregistration operations and handover operations may be implemented at least in part via thelayer 2 tunnel. In addition, an S103 signaling interface may be implemented between the ASN-GW 218 and the servinggateway 216. The S103 interface may be used to forward download data. -
FIG. 4 is a flow diagram illustrating operations in a method to preregister a mobile station with a WiMAX network, according to embodiments. Referring toFIG. 4 , in some embodiments the UE/MS may be registered in theMME 212 or in an ongoing data session with the 3GPP network. At operation 410 a decision is made to preregister the UE/MS 110 with a WiMAX. By way of example a user of the UE/MS may decide to preregister the UE/MS 110 with a WiMAX network. Alternatively, logic in the UE/MS 110 may decide to couple the UE/MS 110 to the WiMAX network. - At operation 412 a WiMAX SBC Req/Resp process is implemented between the UE/
MS 110 and the WiMAX ASN-GW 212. Atoperation 414 Upload/Download information is transferred from the UE/MS 110 to theE-UTRAN 210. Atoperation 416 an S1 tunnel is implemented, and atoperation 418 an S101 signaling interface is implemented between theMME 212 and theWiMAX BS 116 to enable WiMAX signaling to be transmitted directly over the S1 tunnel. - At
operation 420 an R6 MS pre-attachment procedure is implemented between theWiMAX BS 116 and the WiMAX ASN-GW 212. At operation 422 a WiMAX Extensible Authentication Protocol Authentication and Key Agreement (EAP-AKA) authentication procedure is implemented to authenticate the UE/MS with the WiMAX network. At operation 424 a WiMAX Reg request/response process is implemented between the UE/MS 110 and theWMAX BS 116, and atoperation 426 an MS Attachment req message is transmitted from theWiMAX BS 116 to the WiMAX ASN-GW 212 via the R6 interface. At operation 430 a WiMAX DSA Req/Rsp process is implemented between the UE/MS 110 and theWiMAX BS 110, and at operation 432 a Data Path Establishment message is transmitted between theWiMAX BS 116 and the WiMAX ASN-GW 212 via the R6 interface. - In some embodiments the UE/
MS 110 is placed into an idle mode with the WiMAX access network after the UE/MS is preregistered with the WiMAX access network. Thus, at operation 434 a DREG Req operation is implemented between the UE/MS 110 and theWiMAX BS 116. In response to the request, an IM EntryState Change procedure 436 is implemented between theWiMAX BS 116 and the WiMAX ASN-GW 212 via the R6 interface. At operation 438 a data path deregistration operation is implemented between theWiMAX BS 116 and the WiMAX ASN-GW 212 via the R6 interface. - Thus, the operations of
FIG. 4 enable preregistration of the UE/MS 110 with the WiMAX access network. In some embodiments signaling messages between UE/MS 110 and theWiMAX BS 116 take place, at least in part, via the S101 interface in thelayer 2 tunnel established between the UE/MS 110 and theWiMAX BS 116. Further, in some embodiments thelayer 2 tunnel is maintained after the UE/MS 110 is preregistred with the WiMAX access network. In addition, context information associated with the UE/MS 110 may be maintained after the mobile station has preregistered with the WiMAX ASN-GW 212. -
FIG. 5 is a flow diagram illustrating operations in a method to implement a handover from a 3GPP access network, e.g., 3GPP access network, to a WiMAX access network, according to some embodiments. Referring toFIG. 5 , the procedure starts with the UE/MS 110 connected to theE-UTRAN 210. Atoperation 510 one or more WiMAX power measurements collected by the UE/MS 110 are forwarded to theE-UTRAN 210. At operation 512 a decision is made to perform a handover from the 3GPP access network to the WiMAX access network. The handover decision may be made by the UE/MS 110, by the 3GPP network or another network element. In response to the handover decision, the E-UTRAN 210 transmits a handover command to the UE/MS 110 (operation 514). Atoperation 516 the WiMAX radio in the UE/MS 110 is switched on. Atoperation 518 the UE/MS 110 initiates a ranging request (RNG REQ) to abase station 116. In response to the RNG REQ thebase station 116. Atoperation 520 theWiMAX BS 116 transmits an IM Exit State Change Req message to the target ASN-GW 212. In response to the IM Exit State Change Req, the ASN-GW 212 with which the UE/MS 110 is preregistered responds with an IM Exit StateChange Rsp message 522. - At
operation 524 theWiMAX BS 116 transmits a Path Reg Req message to the WiMAX ASN-GW 212. In response to the message, the WiMAX ASN-GW 212 generates a registration request/proxy binging update (RRQ/PBU)message 526 which is transmitted to the home agent/local management area, which responds with a RRP/PBA response 528. In response, the WiMAX ASN-GW 212 transmits a PathReg Rsp message 530 to theWiMAX BS 116, which in turn issues a RNG-RSP message 532 to the UE/MS 110. - At
operation 534 CMAC counter update procedure is implemented between theWiMAX BS 116 and the WiMAX ASN-GW 212. Atoperation 536 theWiMAX BS 116 transmits a Path Reg Ack message to the WiMAX ASN-GW 212, and at operation 538 the WiMAX ASN-GW transmits a Notification Request to theWiMAX BS 116 indicating that the handover is complete, and which theWiMAX BS 116 replies with aNotification Response 540. - At
operation 542 the context information associated with the UE/MS 110 is released. Atoperation 544 theMME 212 transmits aDelete Bearer Request 544 to theserving gateway 216, which replies with aDelete Bearer response 546. Finally, atoperation 548 the PDN-GW 222 initiates aresource deactivation procedure 548 at the E-UTRAN 210 to release the resources associated with the 3GPP access network. -
FIG. 6 is a flow diagram illustrating operations in a method to implement a handover from a WiMAX access network to a 3GPP access network, according to some embodiments. The method begins with the WiMAX radio in the UE/MS 110 on. At operation 610 a decision is made to handover the UE/MS to theE-UTRAN 210 such that network access is provided by the 3GPP access network. In some embodiments the this decision may be made by the EU/MS 110, one or more components of the WiMAX access network, or both. - At operation 612 a MOB_MIH_MSG is transmitted from the UE/
MS 110 to theWiMAX BS 116 which includes an Attach Request. In response to the MOB_MIH_MSG, theWiMAX BS 116 initiates a direct transfer via thelayer 2 tunnel that includes the S101 session ID, the Attach Request, a descriptor of the capabilities of UE/MS 110, and TAI. - At operations 616-620 the UE/
MS 110 may be authenticated with the 3GPP network. In some embodiments the UE/MS 110 transmits a MOB-MIH_MSG with an authentication attachment. In response to the MOB-MIH_MSG, theWiMAX BS 116 initiates a direct transfer via thelayer 2 tunnel that includes the S101 session ID and the authentication request. Atoperation 620 an authentication process is implemented. In some embodiments the UE/MS may be authentication using an Authentication and Key Agreement (AKA) method, although other techniques may be used. - At operation 622 a location update and subscriber data retrieval process is implemented at the
MME 212, and atoperation 624 the MME passes aCreate Session Request 624 to theserving gateway 216. Atoperation 626 the servinggateway 216 forwards the Create Session Request to the PDN-GW 222. In response to the request, the a PCEF initiated IP CAN-Session modification procedure 162 is implemented between the PDN-GW 222 an thePCRF 224. The PDN-GW 222 then sends a Create Session Response and a Bearer Request 632 to theserving gateway 216, which, atoperation 634, forwards the request to theMME 212. - At
operation 636 theMME 212 performs a direct transfer through thelayer 2 tunnel which includes the S101 session ID, an Attach Accept and the Bearer Setup Request. At operation 638 theWiMAX BS 116 forwards the Attach Accept and the Bearer Setup Request to the UE/MS 110 via a MOB-MIH_MSG. Atoperation 640 the responds via a MOB-MIH_MSG with an Attach Complete and Bearer Setup Response. Atoperation 642 theWiMAX BS 116 forwards the Attach Complete message and Bearer Setup Response to the MME via a direct transfer through thelayer 2 tunnel, and atoperation 644 the MME forwards the Create Bearer Response to theserving gateway 216. Atoperation 646 the servinggateway 216 forwards the Create Bearer Response to the PDN-GW 222. - At
operation 648 the LTE radio on the UE/MS 110 is turned on, and atoperation 650 the UE/MS transmits an RRC connection request/service request message to the MME via theWiMAX BS 116. Atoperation 652 theMME 212 transmits an Initial UE Context setup Request to theeNB 240, which establishes an RRC RB with the UE/MS 110. Atoperation 656 the eNB transmits an Initial UE Context Setup Complete message to theMME 212. In response, theMME 212 transmits a ModifyBearer request 658 to theserving gateway 216, which provides a response atoperation 660. - At
operation 662 theMME 212 sends a HandoverComplete message 662 to theWiMAX BS 116. In response to the message, WiMAX resources for the UE/MS 110 are released (operation 664) and the WiMAX ASN-GW initiates a resource allocation deactivation procedure to release WiMAX resources for the UE/MS 110. - Thus, the network architecture of
FIG. 2 coupled with the operations depicted inFIGS. 4-6 enables single radio handover between a WiMAX access network and a 3GPP access network, e.g., a 3GPP network, using alayer 2 tunnel to transmit signaling information via a S101 signaling interface. - Various aspects of the radio access network parameters may be modified to accommodate a
layer 2 capable handover.FIG. 7 is a schematic illustration of a state machine for a 3GPP LTE mobile station, according to embodiments. In some embodiments the 3GPP LTE state machine model may be adapted to change between an E-UTRA RRC Connected state and a WiMAX Active state on handover, and between an E-UTRA RRC Idle state and a WiMAX Idle state on reselection. Similarly, the state machine may be adapted to change between a WiMAX Active state and a WiMAX Idle state. - In some embodiments additional capabilities parameters may be included in the messaging between the UE/MS and the access network. In some embodiments WiMAX parameters are inserted into the UECapabilityInformation data structure as illustrated in
FIG. 8 such that the network/eNB may be made aware that UE is capable of perform L2 handover into WiMAX network. - In some embodiments it may be desirable to allow a neighboring WiMAX base station to broadcast so that a mobile station does not have to perform blind scanning, which wastes battery power. In some embodiments, a new SIB (SystemInformationBlockTypeWiMAX) for broadcast WiMAX mobility related info may be introduced. Two aspects are needed for proper measurement operations: First, a neighbor list and configurations which informs about existing of other network. Second, a measurement triggers/threshold which this manages mobile station measurement behavior in a network controlled fashion. One example of a SIB is illustrated in
FIG. 9 . - In some embodiments aspects of the radio resource control (RRC) procedure may be modified to accommodate single radio handover from a 3GPP network to a WiMAX network. Define WiMAX in measurement configurations so that UE can obtain gap-base measurement interval to look for nearby WiMAX network. Table I presents a list of items which may be defined, with possible values listed below the items:
-
TABLE I RRC Procedures Measurement objects: a list of WiMAX neighbour BS Carrier frequency Preamble index Reporting configurations Quantity configurations: measurement metrics and filtering RSSI CINR others Measurement gaps: needed for single-radio UE 5 ms WiMAX frame granularity and interleaving pattern - A measurement report may be triggered based on network-defined triggers or thresholds specific to WiMAX. Once a measurement report is delivered to eNB, it enables eNB to make a handover decision based on the report.
- One embodiment of an RRC procedure is shown in
FIG. 10 . Referring toFIG. 10 , three signaling messages are passed between the UE/MS 110 and theE-UTRAN 210. At operation 1010 a ULHandoverPreparationRequest message is transmitted from the UE/MS 110 to the E-UTRAN. This is an optional signaling message which allows MS to initiate a handover request (WiMAX profile). It is an optional feature as WiMAX also supports fully BS controlled handover. - At operation 1015 a HandoverFromEUTRAPreparationRequest message is transmitted form the E-UTRAN 210 to the UE/
MS 110. This is an optional signaling message which can be either in response of ULHandoverPreparationRequest or sent from eNB in an unsolicited fashion. This message allows MAC context pre-update from WiMAX TB, which is recommended for reducing interruption time. At operation 1020 aMobilityfromEUTRANcommand 1020 is transmitted from the UE/MS 110 to the E-UTRAN 201. This is a command for handover execution. - While particular terminology is used herein to describe various components and methods, one skilled in the art will recognize that such terminology is intended to be descriptive and not limiting. By way of example, the term base station is intended to refer to a device which provides access to a network, and the term femto access point is intended to refer to a device which provides access to a lower-level network within the network serviced by the base station. Similarly, the phrase “wireless device” is intended to refer to any type of device which can transmit or receive data on the network. It will be understood that these phrases are intended to apply to multiple different wireless networking standards and to networking standards and configurations not yet described or implemented.
- The terms “logic instructions” as referred to herein relates to expressions which may be understood by one or more machines for performing one or more logical operations. For example, logic instructions may comprise instructions which are interpretable by a processor compiler for executing one or more operations on one or more data objects. However, this is merely an example of machine-readable instructions and embodiments are not limited in this respect.
- The terms “computer readable medium” as referred to herein relates to media capable of maintaining expressions which are perceivable by one or more machines. For example, a computer readable medium may comprise one or more storage devices for storing computer readable instructions or data. Such storage devices may comprise storage media such as, for example, optical, magnetic or semiconductor storage media. However, this is merely an example of a computer readable medium and embodiments are not limited in this respect.
- The term “logic” as referred to herein relates to structure for performing one or more logical operations. For example, logic may comprise circuitry which provides one or more output signals based upon one or more input signals. Such circuitry may comprise a finite state machine which receives a digital input and provides a digital output, or circuitry which provides one or more analog output signals in response to one or more analog input signals. Such circuitry may be provided in an application specific integrated circuit (ASIC) or field programmable gate array (FPGA). Also, logic may comprise machine-readable instructions stored in a memory in combination with processing circuitry to execute such machine-readable instructions. However, these are merely examples of structures which may provide logic and embodiments are not limited in this respect.
- Some of the methods described herein may be embodied as logic instructions on a computer-readable medium. When executed on a processor, the logic instructions cause a processor to be programmed as a special-purpose machine that implements the described methods. The processor, when configured by the logic instructions to execute the methods described herein, constitutes structure for performing the described methods. Alternatively, the methods described herein may be reduced to logic on, e.g., a field programmable gate array (FPGA), an application specific integrated circuit (ASIC) or the like.
- In the description and claims, the terms coupled and connected, along with their derivatives, may be used. In particular embodiments, connected may be used to indicate that two or more elements are in direct physical or electrical contact with each other. Coupled may mean that two or more elements are in direct physical or electrical contact. However, coupled may also mean that two or more elements may not be in direct contact with each other, but yet may still cooperate or interact with each other.
- Reference in the specification to “one embodiment” or “an embodiment” means that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in connection with the embodiment is included in at least an implementation. The appearances of the phrase “in one embodiment” in various places in the specification may or may not be all referring to the same embodiment.
- Although embodiments have been described in language specific to structural features and/or methodological acts, it is to be understood that claimed subject matter may not be limited to the specific features or acts described. Rather, the specific features and acts are disclosed as sample forms of implementing the claimed subject matter.
