Description

Wireless network architecture and application wireless network architecture for realizing data transmission method

The present invention relates to the field of mobile communication technologies, and in particular to a wireless network architecture and a method for implementing data transmission using a wireless network architecture. Background of the invention

Today's society has entered an information society. People expect to exchange information at any time, anywhere, and reliably, without time and space constraints, in order to improve the efficiency and economic efficiency of work. Mobile communication comprehensively utilizes wired and wireless transmission methods, providing people with a fast and convenient means of communication. The first generation of mobile communication systems is an analog cellular mobile communication system. The main feature of this system is the frequency division multiplexing (FDMA) analog system, which greatly increases the system capacity due to frequency reuse. The first generation of mobile communication systems have achieved great commercial success, but their drawbacks are also emerging: low spectrum utilization, limited service types, no high-speed data services, poor confidentiality, easy eavesdropping and hacking, high equipment costs, and Large size, heavy weight, etc.

In order to solve these fundamental technical defects in the analog system, digital mobile communication technology came into being, which led to the second generation mobile communication system. The second generation mobile communication system is a digital cellular communication system that improves spectrum utilization, supports multiple service services, and is compatible with ISDN, etc., compared to the first generation mobile communication system. The second generation mobile communication system aims to transmit voice and low speed data services, and is therefore also called a narrowband digital communication system.

Due to the development of the network, data and multimedia communication have developed rapidly. The second generation of mobile communication systems can no longer meet the needs of multimedia communication. Therefore, the third generation mobile communication system has emerged. The goal of the third generation mobile communication is broadband multimedia. Communication.

The third generation mobile communication system is a multimedia service that can provide multiple types and high quality. A system that enables global seamless coverage, global roaming capabilities, compatibility with fixed networks, and any type of communication with small portable terminals at any time and any place. Due to its many advantages, operators, manufacturers and users around the world have a strong interest in this.

Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS) is a third-generation mobile communication system using Wideband Code Division Multiple Access (WCDMA) air interface technology. It is also called UMTS system as WCDMA communication. system. The following takes UMTS as an example.

Figure 1 shows the network architecture of the prior art R5 based UMTS. The UMTS system adopts a structure similar to that of the second generation mobile communication system, and is composed of a UMTS Territorial Radio Access Network (CN) and a user equipment (MS), and the UMTS system also The compatibility with Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM) is maintained, that is, the Wireless Subsystem (BSS) in GSM can access the CN directly through the A interface and the Gb interface.

Among them, UTRAN is used to handle all wireless related functions, and CN handles all voice calls and data connections in the UMTS system and implements switching and routing functions with external networks. The CN is logically divided into a CS (Circuit Switched Domain) and a Packet Switched Domain (PS) to support voice and data services, respectively.

The CS domain includes nodes such as a mobile switching center server (MSC-Server), a media gateway (MGW), and a gateway mobile services switching center server (GMSC-Server), wherein the MSC-Server is used to transmit control plane data of the CS domain to implement mobile SME management, call control, authentication and encryption functions, GMSC-Server is used to implement GMSC call control and mobility control control plane functions, such as implementing inbound call routing and external network communication to complete inter-network settlement. The MGW is used to implement transmission of user plane data; the PS domain includes a serving general packet radio service support node (SGSN), a gateway general packet radio service support node (GGSN), and the like, wherein the SGSN is used to transmit control plane data of the PS domain and User face data, implementation Routing forwarding, mobility management, session management, authentication and encryption, etc. The GGSN is mainly responsible for interfacing with the external network. At the same time, the GGSN is also responsible for realizing the transmission of user plane data. The Home Network Server (HSS) is used to store user subscription information. The Device Identification Register (EIR) is used to store identification information for system devices. The thin solid line in Fig. 1 indicates control plane data, and the thick solid line indicates user plane data.

Figure 2 shows the prior art URTAN network structure. The URTAN contains one or more Radio Network Subsystems (R S ). An RNS consists of a Radio Network Controller (R C ) and one or more base stations (NodeBs). The interface between R C and CN is the Iu interface, and NodeB and R C are connected through the Iub interface. Within UTRAN, R C is interconnected by Iur, and Iur can be connected through a direct physical connection between R Cs or through a transport network.

The RNC is used to allocate and control the radio resources of the NodeB connected or related to it, mainly to complete connection establishment and disconnection, handover, macro diversity, radio resource management control, power control, and multicast broadcast control functions; Broadcast and system access control functions, mobility management functions such as handover and RNC migration, and macro resource management and control functions such as macro aggregation, power control, and radio bearer allocation. NodeB is a base station of a WCDMA system, that is, a wireless transceiver, including a wireless transceiver and a baseband processing component. Its main function is to control and allocate resources of a cell, and complete data stream conversion between the Iub interface and the Uu interface, for example, Frequency, modulation, channel coding and despreading, demodulation, channel decoding, and also the mutual conversion of baseband signals and radio frequency signals, and also participate in some radio resource management.

Referring to FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, when a user applies for applying a certain service, first establish a radio resource control (RRC) connection with the UTRAN, that is, implement an RRC connection between the user terminal and the RNC through the NodeB, and implement an access network control plane bearer; After the RRC connection is successfully established, the RC communicates with the MSC-Server in the CS domain in the core network or the SGSN in the PS domain according to the service applied by the user, MSC-Server or SGSN (hereinafter abbreviated as MSC-Server/SGSN) ) It is determined by the HSS that the user subscription information is valid, and the user currently applies After the CN resources required by the service are available, the MSC-Server/SGSN in the CN notifies the user to establish a Radio Access Bearer (RAB) through the RNC and the NodeB, that is, the control plane bearer of the access network is implemented, and after the RAB is successfully established, the RAB is established. The user plane bearer of the access network, that is, the radio bearer (RB) is established accordingly. Then, for the services of the CS domain, the user establishes a core network user plane bearer with the MGW through the NodeB and the RNC, and implements the function of the user plane protocol stack. For the PS domain service, the user establishes the NodeB and the RNC with the SGSN. The core network user plane carries the function of the user plane protocol stack through the GGSN.

It can be seen from the above network architecture and service implementation process that the RNC needs to support both the control plane protocol stack and the user plane protocol stack. Similarly, the SGSN needs to support both the control plane protocol stack and the user plane protocol stack. That is, in a logical function node, the requirements of the control plane and the user plane protocol stack must be supported at the same time.

Generally, the requirements of the user plane protocol stack are more demanding, some functions require special hardware support; and the control plane protocol stack processing requirements are not high, and can be implemented by a general method. With the rapid growth of data services, the demand for user-side capacity growth is more urgent, while the demand for control plane capacity growth is slower. Since the processing requirements of the control plane and the user plane are different, the communication capability requirements of the control plane and the user plane are far apart. Thus, if a node must support both the control plane and the user plane protocol stack, it not only causes intra-UMTS transmission. The waste of resources, and the future expansion is very troublesome, because if the function of a single node is too complicated, it will be impossible to build a low-cost network using the IP network networking mechanism of the single, which makes the networking very troublesome. Especially when the existing network and the IP network are interconnected, the contradiction of networking is more prominent. Therefore, it is likely to seriously hinder the development of future business. Summary of the invention

In view of this, the main purpose of the present invention is to provide three wireless network architectures and methods for implementing data transmission using the three wireless network architectures, so that user plane data and control plane data are completed.

Among the above three wireless network architectures, each node, such as RTS, RAN-Server, SGSN-Server, MSC-Server, and UGW, is a logically separated node, which may be in the same or different physical devices.

In the above three wireless network architectures, the Tt-c interface between the RTS and the RAN-Server uses the RTS Application Protocol Stack (RTSAP) as the transport layer of the wireless network layer, and the RTSAP protocol is similar to the RNC and the SGSN in the existing network. The RANAP protocol uses the Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP) and the International Interconnection (IP) protocol, or uses the Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) as the transport network layer bearer.

Since the protocol stack owned by the node in the wireless network architecture corresponds to the protocol stack of the interface it owns, the node RTS carries the air interface protocol stack (PHY), the control plane RTSAP protocol stack, the TtUP protocol stack, and the transport layer. Protocol stack; RRC and RRM (Radio Resource Management) protocol stack carrying the control plane, H.248 protocol stack, RSCAP (RSC Application Protocol) protocol stack of control plane and transport layer protocol stack The wireless layer 2 protocol stack carrying the user plane in the node UGW is the Packet Data Convergence Protocol (PDCP), the Broadcast Group Control (BMC), the Radio Link Control (RLC), and the medium access. Control (MAC) protocol stack, and user plane H.248 and GTP (GPRS Tunneling Protocol) protocol stack; Node SGSN-Server carries control plane SM (Session Management GMM (GPRS Mobility Management), RSCAP (RSC Application Protocol) ), H.248 protocol stack, transport layer protocol stack, and other nodes in the core network The protocol stack that the interface must contain; the CM, MM, and H.248 protocol stacks that carry the control planes in the MSC-Server, the transport layer protocol stack, and the protocol stack that must be included in the interface with other nodes in the core network. Similar to the NBAP protocol (NodeB Application Protocol) between the NodeB and the RNC in the existing network, both the MGW and the P-MGW carry the TCP/IP interface protocol stack and the H.248 protocol stack.

In addition, the RTS can also carry the radio layer 2 protocol stack of the user plane, that is, the PDCP, the BMC, the RLC, and the MAC protocol stack. At this time, the radio layer 2 protocol stack will no longer be carried in the UGW; Alternatively, in the RTS, a part of the protocol stack in the radio layer 2 protocol of the user plane may be carried, and the rest of the protocol stacks in the radio layer 2 protocol are carried in the UG, for example, the RLC and the MAC protocol stack may be carried in the RTS. The PDCP and BMC protocol stacks are carried in the UGW.

The method of implementing communication using the wireless network architecture of the present invention is specifically described below.

FIG. 8 is a flow chart showing the process of implementing data transmission using the wireless network architecture shown in FIG. 3 of the present invention. In this embodiment, it is assumed that the radio layer 2 protocol stack, that is, the PDCP, BMC, RLC, and MAC protocol stacks are carried in the RTS, and the user terminal needs to use the data service in the PS domain.

Step 801: Before the user terminal initiates the service, the user terminal needs to establish a connection to the core network, so as to obtain a connection with the service server on the service platform. Before establishing the connection between the user terminal and the core network, the connection to the access network should be established first. The user terminal first initiates a connection request;

Step 802 to step 803, after receiving the request message, the RTS encapsulates the request message into a TtUP message, and sends the request to the UGW through the Tt-u interface, and then the UGW transmits the request to the RAN-Server through the Uran interface;

Step 804 to step 805, after receiving the foregoing request, the RAN-Server determines that the current resource of the access network is sufficient to allow the user to be received according to the RRC algorithm, and directly sends a configuration message to the RTS through the Tt-c interface to establish an access charging line. Link, the configuration message format is specified by the RTSAP; at the same time, the RAN-Server sends the information of configuring the wireless layer 2 protocol stack. Since this embodiment carries the wireless layer 2 protocol stack in the RTS, the configuration of the wireless layer 2 protocol The information of the stack is forwarded to the UGW through the Uran interface, and then forwarded by the UGW to the RTS through the Tt-u interface. The configuration of the radio layer 2 protocol stack in the RTS is configured to configure PDCP, BMC, RLC, and MAC, and establish a relationship between the RAN-Server and the user terminal. RRC connection;

After the RRC connection is established, the RAN-Server sends the RRC connection establishment information to the user terminal through the UGW and the RTS, and the RRC connection has been successfully established. Steps 806 to 809, the user terminal receives the RRC connection establishment success information. Rear, The non-access stratum protocol stack of the user terminal initiates a real service request, and the service request arrives at the UGW through the Tt-u interface of the RTS, and then passes through the Uran interface to the RAN-Server, and the RAN-Server encapsulates the received service request and then passes the The Uran interface is forwarded to the UGW. The UGW forwards the encapsulated message to the SGSN-Server through the Ups interface. Steps 810 to 811. After receiving the service request, the SGSN-Server contacts the HSS to determine the After the user terminal is legal, and it is determined that the core network can provide the required service for the user terminal, the RAN-Server sends a radio access bearer setup request, and the request reaches the UGW through the Ups interface, and then the UGW interface is used. Forward to RAN-Server;

Step 812 to step 813, after receiving the radio access bearer setup request, the RAN-Server sends configuration information to the RTS through the Tt-c interface, and establishes a radio link for transmitting data between the RAN-Server and the RTS, and the configuration message format At the same time, the RAN-Server sends the configuration information to the RTS through the UGW through the URAN interface, configures the wireless layer 2 protocol stack in the RTS, and establishes the user data transmission bearer of the access network;

So far, the user data transmission bearer of the access network between the UGW and the user terminal is established, that is, the RAB transmission bearer;

Step 814 to step 815, after the user data transmission bearer of the access network is established, the RAN-Server sends the information of the user data transmission bearer of the access network to the SGSN-Server through the UGW; the SGSN-Server receives the access network. After the user data transmission bears the successful configuration information, the core network resource is allocated, and the configuration information is sent to the UGW through the Ups interface, and the user data transmission bearer between the UGW and the target gateway in the external network is established;

So far, the user data transmission bearer between the UGW and the target gateway in the external network is established;

Step 816 to step 818, the user terminal sends the service data to the RTS, and the RTS forwards the data to the UGW through the Tt-u interface. The UGW does not need to go through the SGSN-Server to directly transfer the data. The target gateway is sent to the external network, and the target gateway transmits the user data to the service server of the service platform.

So far, separate communication between the control plane data and the user plane data is realized.

In the foregoing embodiment, the radio layer 2 protocol stack, that is, the PDCP, the BMC, the LC, and the MAC protocol stack are carried in the RTS. If the radio layer 2 protocol stack, that is, the PDCP, the BMC, the RLC, and the MAC protocol stack, is carried in the UGW, In step 804 to step 805, after establishing a radio link that enables the user terminal to access, the RAN-Server sends configuration information to the UGW through the Umn interface, configures the radio layer 2 protocol stack in the UGW, and establishes the RAN-Server and the user terminal. The RRC connection is established; and after the RC connection is established, the RAN-Server sends the RRC connection establishment success information to the user terminal through the UGW and the RTS. Correspondingly, in step 812 to step 813, the RAN-Server sends configuration information to the UGW via the Uran interface, and configures the radio layer 2 protocol stack in the UGW to establish a user data transmission bearer of the access network.

If a part of the wireless layer 2 protocol stack is carried in the RTS, a part of the wireless layer 2 protocol stack is carried in the UGW. For example, the RTS carries the RLC and the MAC protocol stack, and the UGW carries the PDCP and the BMC protocol stack. In step 804 to step 805, after the radio link that enables the user terminal to access is established, the RAN-Server needs to send configuration information to the RTS through the UGW, configure the radio layer 2 protocol stack in the RTS, and send the configuration to the UGW. Information, configure the wireless layer 2 protocol stack in the UGW to establish an RRC connection between the RAN-Server and the user terminal. Correspondingly, in steps 812 to 813, the RAN-Server needs to send configuration information to the RTS through the UGW, configure the radio layer 2 protocol stack in the RTS, and send configuration information to the UGW, and configure the radio layer 2 protocol in the UGW. The stack is used to establish a user data transmission bearer of the access network.

If the user terminal needs to use the voice service in the CS domain, the SGSN-Server in the above process may be replaced by the MSC-Server. Here, we may wish to refer to SGSN-Server and MSC-Server collectively. Manage the server for the control plane.

When the UGW receives the service data from the user terminal forwarded by the RTS, the UGW determines whether it is the service data of the CS domain or the service data of the PS domain. If it is the service data of the PS domain, the service data is directly sent to the target gateway in the external network to implement the service data transmission. If it is the service data of the CS domain, the service data is transmitted to the MGW, and the MGW directly The service data is sent to a target gateway in the external network to implement service data transmission. The rest of the same parts are not repeated here.

S, and the difference is that the user data between the P-MGW and the target gateway in the external network is established by the SGSN-Server. The transmission bearer, the MSC-Server establishes the user data transmission bearer between the UGW and the target gateway in the external network; when the UGW receives the service data from the user terminal forwarded by the RTS, it determines whether the service data of the CS domain or the PS domain The service data, if it is the service data of the CS domain, directly sends the service data to the target gateway in the external network to implement the service data transmission. If it is the service data of the PS domain, the service data is transmitted to the P-MGW. The P-MGW directly sends the service data to the target gateway in the external network to implement service data transmission. The rest of the same parts will not be repeated here.
