Description

一种无线网络中移动终端激活业务时的路由方法  Routing method for mobile terminal to activate service in wireless network
技术领域 Technical field
本发明涉及无线网络,特别涉及无线网络中移动终端激活业务时的路由 方法。  The present invention relates to a wireless network, and more particularly to a routing method when a mobile terminal activates a service in a wireless network.
背景技术 Background technique
在 3GPP发布的有关 WCDMA的版本 5 (以下简称 R5 ) 中描述了一种 核心网节点共同管理一组无线网络控制器(RNC ) 的方法, 亦即所谓 "池" 的概念。 一个核心网节点池定义为: 一个 MS ( Mobile Station, 移动台) 漫 游却不必改变核心网服务节点( Serving CN Node )的区域; 一个池由一个或 多个核心网服务节点共同服务; RNC管理的所有小区均属于同一个池。  A method for jointly managing a group of radio network controllers (RNCs) by a core network node, which is called a "pool" concept, is described in Release 5 (hereinafter referred to as R5) of the WCDMA. A core network node pool is defined as: An MS (Mobile Station) roaming does not have to change the area of the Serving CN Node; a pool is served by one or more core network service nodes; RNC managed All cells belong to the same pool.
在 R5中, NRI ( Network Resource Identifier )用来标识不同的核心网服 务节点。 当移动终端首次在某池中注册时, RNC根据负荷分担原则为其分 配一个核心网服务节点,并将移动终端的注册请求消息发送给该核心网服务 节点。 在成功注册后, 核心网服务节点会将自己所对应的 NRI发送给移动 终端, 移动终端保存该 NRI。  In R5, NRI (Network Resource Identifier) is used to identify different core network service nodes. When the mobile terminal registers for the first time in a pool, the RNC allocates a core network service node according to the load sharing principle, and sends a registration request message of the mobile terminal to the core network service node. After successful registration, the core network service node sends its corresponding NRI to the mobile terminal, and the mobile terminal saves the NRI.
池中的所有 RNC中均配置了一个 NRI到核心网服务节点 IP地址的映射 表。 当移动终端再次在该池中发送非接入层消息(NAS )时, 移动终端在消 息中带有 NRI。 R C根据 NRI从配置的映射表中查找核心网服务节点的 IP 地址, 并把来自移动终端的非接入层消息 (NAS 消息)转发给该核心网服 务节点。  A mapping table of NRI to core network service node IP addresses is configured in all RNCs in the pool. When the mobile terminal again sends a Non-Access Stratum message (NAS) in the pool, the mobile terminal carries the NRI in the message. The R C searches the IP address of the core network service node from the configured mapping table according to the NRI, and forwards the non-access stratum message (NAS message) from the mobile terminal to the core network service node.
在 R5中, 为了兼容以前的版本( R99和 R4 ) , NRI规划为 TMSI (临 时移动用户识别码)的一部分。 这限制了一个池所管理的用户数最多不得超 过 2TMSI个。 并且, TMSI的一部分还要用作其他管理功能, 比如拜访用户寄 存器 (VLR ) 的重起标志等, 池所实际管理的用户数比 2TMSI少。 这限制了 池的扩展。 In R5, in order to be compatible with previous versions (R99 and R4), the NRI is planned to be part of the TMSI (Temporary Mobile Subscriber Identity). This limits the number of users managed by a pool to no more than 2 TMSI . Also, a portion of the TMSI is used as other management functions, such as a visitor register (VLR) restart flag, etc., and the number of users actually managed by the pool is less than 2 TMSI . This limits the expansion of the pool.
并且, 在 R5中, NRI与核心网服务节点 IP地址的映射表是在 RNC中 配置的。该配置工作量随着 RNC的增多而增加, 配置工作量是 RNC的数量 与核心网服务节点数量的乘积, 这也限制了池的扩展。 And, in R5, the mapping table between the NRI and the core network service node IP address is in the RNC. Configured. The configuration workload increases with the increase of the RNC. The configuration workload is the product of the number of RNCs and the number of core network service nodes, which also limits the expansion of the pool.
R5中的这种路由方法尚且能适应 3G (第三代移动通信系统) 的需求, 因为 RNC与核心网服务节点间的连通性在 3G网络中实际上是有一定限制 的。 但随着 IP化不断深入, 无线接入系统与核心网间可以做到全 IP互通, 可以将池配置得很大, 以达到更多资源共享, 此时目前的路由方法就不能再 满足需要了。  This routing method in R5 can still adapt to the requirements of 3G (third generation mobile communication system), because the connectivity between RNC and core network service nodes is actually limited in 3G networks. However, with the deepening of IP, the wireless access system and the core network can achieve full IP interworking, and the pool can be configured to be large, so as to achieve more resource sharing. At present, the current routing method can no longer meet the needs. .

下面结合附图和具体实施方式对发明作进一步详细说明。  The invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the drawings and specific embodiments.
本发明针对 R5中存在的问题作了如下改进:  The present invention provides the following improvements to the problems existing in R5:
首先, 在一个池中的核心网服务节点不再用 TMSI的字段作标识, 而是 使用一个独立于 TMSI的标识符 MME ID ( MME Identifier )来标识;  First, the core network service node in a pool is no longer identified by the TMSI field, but is identified by a TMSI-independent identifier MME ID (MME Identifier);
其次, 不需要将 MME ID与核心网服务节点的 IP地址间的映射手工在 无线接入网絡单元中配置, 而是由无线接入网絡单元 RAN查询某集中控制 单元 (如 DNS服务器或资源管理服务器)获取核心网服务节点的 IP地址。  Secondly, the mapping between the MME ID and the IP address of the core network service node is not required to be manually configured in the radio access network unit, but the radio access network unit RAN queries a centralized control unit (such as a DNS server or a resource management server). ) Obtain the IP address of the core network service node.
为加快查询核心网服务节点的 IP地址, 无线接入网络单元可将从集中 控制单元获得的与某一标识信息对应的核心网服务节点的 IP地址緩存在本 地,以供后续快速查询使用。无线接入网络单元可先从本地緩存中根据 MME ID、 Pool ID及 PLMN ID查询对应的核心网服务节点的 IP地址, 若从緩存 中查询不到, 再查询上述集中控制单元。  To speed up the query of the IP address of the core network service node, the radio access network unit may cache the IP address of the core network service node corresponding to a certain identification information obtained from the centralized control unit at the local location for subsequent quick query use. The radio access network unit may first query the IP address of the corresponding core network service node according to the MME ID, the Pool ID, and the PLMN ID from the local cache, and if not queried from the cache, query the centralized control unit.
并且, 即使可以通过使用集中控制单元查询核心网服务节点的 IP地址, 本发明并不排除无线接入网絡单元在本地通过配置的方式将该映射关系配 置在本地, 并从本地配置数据中查询核心网服务节点的 IP地址。  Moreover, even if the IP address of the core network service node can be queried by using the centralized control unit, the present invention does not exclude that the wireless access network unit locally configures the mapping relationship in a local manner, and queries the core from the local configuration data. The IP address of the web service node.
本实施例核心网服务节点的全局标识由公共陆地移动网络的标识 ( PLMN ID ) 、 核心网服务节点池的标识(Pool ID )和池中的核心网服务 节点的标识(MME ID )共同组成。 The global identifier of the core network service node in this embodiment is determined by the public land mobile network identifier (PLMN ID), the core network service node pool identifier (Pool ID), and the core network service in the pool. The identifiers of the nodes (MME ID) are composed together.
当核心网 务节点池互相重叠时, 亦即无线接入网络单元与属于同一 PLMN的多个核心网服务节点池连接,在实际网络规划时可以选择将这些重 叠的核心网服务节点池中的核心网服务节点 (MME ) 的编号空间不重叠, 也就是, 在这些重叠的核心网服务节点池中的所有核心网服务节点(MMD ) 的编号在重叠的池中是唯一的。通过这样的规划, 无线接入网络单元可以只 根据 MME ID查询核心网服务节点。  When the core network node pools overlap each other, that is, the radio access network unit is connected to multiple core network service node pools belonging to the same PLMN, and the cores in the overlapping core network service node pools may be selected during actual network planning. The numbering spaces of the network serving nodes (MMEs) do not overlap, that is, the numbering of all core network serving nodes (MMDs) in these overlapping core network serving node pools is unique among overlapping pools. Through such planning, the radio access network unit can query the core network service node based only on the MME ID.
参照图 1所示,为多个无线接入网絡单元与多个核心网络节点间的组网 结构图, 包括:核心网服务节点池 100,若干核心网服务节点 101、 102、 103, 资源管理服务器 120, 及若干无线接入网络单元(RAN ) 110、 111、 112、 113。 一个核心网服务节点池 100是指共同管理一组无线接入网络(如图中 所示的无线接入网絡单元 110、 111、 112、 113 ) 的一组核心网服务节点, 如图中所示的核心网服务节点池 100包括核心网服务节点 101、 102、 103, 当移动终端在该核心网服务节点池 100 所管理的无线接入网络单元 110、 111、 112、 113中移动时, 核心网服务节点保持不变。 一个核心网服务节点 池还管理一组跟踪区 (如图中所示的跟踪区 130、 131、 132 ) , 每个跟踪区 对应一个跟踪区标识符, 跟踪区标识符(Tracking Area ID, TAI )在整个公 共陆地移动网络 PLMN ( Public Land Mobile Network, PLMN )中唯一。 Pool ID可以是它所管理的某一跟踪区的标识符(TAI ) , 也可以是一个独立于跟 踪区标识的标识符。 Pool ID和 PLMN ID可组成某一核心网服务节点池的域 名, 唯一标识该核心网月良务节点池。  Referring to FIG. 1, a network structure diagram between a plurality of radio access network units and a plurality of core network nodes includes: a core network service node pool 100, a plurality of core network service nodes 101, 102, and 103, and a resource management server. 120, and a number of Radio Access Network Units (RANs) 110, 111, 112, 113. A core network service node pool 100 refers to a group of core network service nodes that jointly manage a group of radio access networks (such as the radio access network elements 110, 111, 112, 113 shown in the figure), as shown in the figure. The core network service node pool 100 includes core network service nodes 101, 102, 103. When the mobile terminal moves in the radio access network units 110, 111, 112, 113 managed by the core network service node pool 100, the core network service The node remains unchanged. A core network service node pool also manages a set of tracking areas (such as the tracking areas 130, 131, 132 shown in the figure), each tracking area corresponding to a tracking area identifier, Tracking Area ID (TAI) It is unique among the entire Public Land Mobile Network (PLMN). The Pool ID can be an identifier (TAI) of a tracking area it manages, or it can be an identifier that is independent of the tracking area identifier. The Pool ID and the PLMN ID can form the domain name of a core network service node pool, and uniquely identify the core network monthly service node pool.
当无线接入网络单元收到处于空闲状态的移动终端发来的非接入层消 息(NAS消息)时,检查其中是否携带有标识信息,所述标识信息包括 PLMN ID、 Pool ID和 MME ID, 根据标识信息的有效情况的不同采取如下不同的 处理:  When the radio access network unit receives the non-access stratum message (NAS message) sent by the mobile terminal in the idle state, it checks whether the identifier information is carried therein, and the identifier information includes the PLMN ID, the Pool ID, and the MME ID. The following different processes are taken depending on the validity of the identification information:
①如果无线接入网络单元收到的 PLMN ID ^ Pool ID和 MME ID均有效, 则将标识信息 MME ID、 Pool ID、 PLMN ID组成移动终端的核心网服务节 点的域名, 唯一标识该核心网服务节点。 根据该域名, 无线接入网络单元查 询 DNS服务器或资源管理服务器获取核心网服务节点的 IP地址,从而与之 通信, 将移动终端的非接入层消息发送给核心网服务节点; If the PLMN ID, the Pool ID, and the MME ID are both valid, the identifier information MME ID, Pool ID, and PLMN ID are grouped into the domain name of the core network service node of the mobile terminal, and the core network service is uniquely identified. node. According to the domain name, the radio access network unit queries the DNS server or the resource management server to obtain the IP address of the core network service node, thereby Communication, sending a non-access stratum message of the mobile terminal to the core network service node;
无线接入网络单元将 MME ID、 Pool ID和 PLMN ID组成核心网服务节 点域名的一种可选的生成 i或名的方法是: 域名 = MME ID.Pool ID.PLMN ID。  The radio access network unit forms an optional i or name of the core network service node domain name by combining the MME ID, Pool ID and PLMN ID: domain name = MME ID.Pool ID.PLMN ID.
②如果无线接入网络单元收到的 PLMN ID和 Pool ID有效, 但收到的 MME ID无效, 则构造核心网服务节点池的域名, 根据该域名访问管理该无 线接入网络单元的核心网服务节点池所对应的资源管理服务器,由资源管理 服务器根据负荷分担原则为移动终端分配一个核心网服务节点,无线接入网 络单元将移动终端的非接入层消息发送给核心网服务节点;  2 If the PLMN ID and the Pool ID received by the radio access network unit are valid, but the received MME ID is invalid, the domain name of the core network service node pool is constructed, and the core network service of the radio access network unit is managed according to the domain name access. The resource management server corresponding to the node pool, the resource management server allocates a core network service node to the mobile terminal according to the load sharing principle, and the radio access network unit sends the non-access stratum message of the mobile terminal to the core network service node;
上述资源管理服务器可以是独立设置的服务器,也可以分布在各核心网 服务节点中;  The foregoing resource management server may be an independently set server, or may be distributed in each core network service node;
③如果无线接入网络单元收到的 PLMN ID有效, 但收到的 Pool ID和 MME ID无效, 则首先根据 PLMN ID确定 Pool ID (一个 PLMN只有一个 MME Pool与一个无线接入网络单元相连) , 再构造核心网服务节点池的域 名,根据该域名访问该核心网服务节点池所对应的资源管理服务器, 由资源 管理服务器分配核心网服务节点,无线接入网络单元将移动终端的非接入层 消息发送给核心网服务节点;  3 If the PLMN ID received by the radio access network unit is valid, but the received Pool ID and MME ID are invalid, the Pool ID is first determined according to the PLMN ID (only one MME Pool of one PLMN is connected to one radio access network unit). Reconfiguring the domain name of the core network service node pool, accessing the resource management server corresponding to the core network service node pool according to the domain name, and assigning the core network service node by the resource management server, and the wireless access network unit will be the non-access layer of the mobile terminal The message is sent to the core network service node;
④如果无线接入网絡单元收到的 PLMN ID, Pool ID和 MME ID均无效, 则向 UE返回失败消息。  4 If the PLMN ID, Pool ID and MME ID received by the radio access network unit are invalid, a failure message is returned to the UE.
上述有效的 PLMN ID是指 PLMN ID值不为 NULL,且该无线接入网络 单元归属于该 PLMN ID标识的公共陆地移动网络;有效的 Pool ID是指 Pool ID值不为 ULL, 且该核心网月良务节点池是管理该无线接入网络单元的某 一核心网服务节点池的 Pool ID, 且前述 PLMN ID与 Pool ID对应的核心网 服务节点池的 PLMN ID一致;有效的 MME ID是指 MME ID值不为 NULL, 且所对应的 Pool ID有效。 无线接入网络单元可以同时由多个核心网服务节 点池管理,但管理同一无线接入网络单元的多个核心网服务节点池之间是相 互独立, 无相互作用。  The valid PLMN ID is that the PLMN ID value is not NULL, and the radio access network element belongs to the public land mobile network identified by the PLMN ID; the valid pool ID means that the pool ID value is not ULL, and the core network The monthly service node pool is a pool ID of a core network service node pool that manages the radio access network unit, and the PLMN ID is consistent with the PLMN ID of the core network service node pool corresponding to the pool ID; the valid MME ID is The MME ID value is not NULL, and the corresponding Pool ID is valid. The radio access network unit can be managed by multiple core network service node pools at the same time, but the multiple core network service node pools managing the same radio access network unit are independent of each other and have no interaction.
在核心网服务节点成功注册该移动终端后,在核心网服务节点发送给移 动终端的响应消息中将该核心网服务节点的 MME ID和其所在核心网服务 节点池的 Pool ID以及对应的公共地面移动网络的 PLMN ID发送给移动终 端, 以便移动终端在下次发起新的业务请求时将最新的 MME ID、 Pool ID 和 PLMN ID携带给无线接入网络单元, 使无线接入网络单元能够找到其所 注册的核心网服务节点。 After the core network service node successfully registers the mobile terminal, the MME ID of the core network service node and the core network service thereof are sent in a response message sent by the core network service node to the mobile terminal. The pool ID of the node pool and the corresponding PLMN ID of the public land mobile network are sent to the mobile terminal, so that the mobile terminal carries the latest MME ID, Pool ID and PLMN ID to the radio access network unit when the new service request is initiated next time. Enable the radio access network element to find its registered core network service node.
所述非接入层消息是移动终端与核心网服务节点间的消息,接入消息是 The non-access stratum message is a message between the mobile terminal and the core network service node, and the access message is
UE与无线接入网络单元间的消息。 在无线接入网络单元与 UE间, 非接入 层消息也是通过接入消息来传输的。为了省去无线接入网络单元解码非接入 层消息的麻烦, 而将 MME ID、 Pool ID, PLMN ID放在接入消息中传输。 A message between the UE and the radio access network element. Between the radio access network element and the UE, non-access stratum messages are also transmitted through the access message. In order to save the trouble of the radio access network unit decoding the non-access stratum message, the MME ID, Pool ID, and PLMN ID are placed in the access message for transmission.
第一实施例 First embodiment
如图 2所示, 本实施例是当移动终端首次在网络中注册时的流程。 本实 施例应用于系统架构演进(SAE ) 中, 对照图 1 , 图 2中的 MME ( Mobility Management Entity, 移动性管理实体)对应图 1中的核心网服务节点, eNB (演进型节点 B )对应图 1 中的无线接入网络单元, UE (用户设备)对应 图 1中的移动终端。  As shown in FIG. 2, this embodiment is a flow when the mobile terminal registers for the first time in the network. This embodiment is applied to System Architecture Evolution (SAE). The MME (Mobility Management Entity) in Figure 1 corresponds to the core network serving node in Figure 1, and the eNB (Evolved Node B) corresponds to Figure 1 The radio access network unit in FIG. 1 , the UE (user equipment) corresponds to the mobile terminal in FIG. 1 .
注册流程包括以下步骤:  The registration process consists of the following steps:
步骤 201 , UE的附着请求消息通过 UE与 eNB之间的 RRC (无线资源 控制) 消息的初始直传消息传送, 初始直传消息中包括 UE与 MME间的附 着请求消息(非接入层消息)和 UE上次注册时的标识信息, 所述标识信息 包括: MME ID (移动性管理实体标识)、 Pool ID (核心网服务节点池标识)、 PLMN ID (公众陆地移动网标识) ;  Step 201: The attach request message of the UE is transmitted by using an initial direct transmission message of an RRC (Radio Resource Control) message between the UE and the eNB, where the initial direct transmission message includes an attach request message (non-access stratum message) between the UE and the MME. And the identifier information when the UE is last registered, the identifier information includes: an MME ID (Mobility Management Entity Identity), a Pool ID (Core Network Service Node Pool Identity), and a PLMN ID (Public Land Mobile Network Identity);
由于发送附着请求消息时 UE是初次在网络中注册, UE可将初始直传 消息的 MME ID和 Pool ID设置为 NULL, 即无效, PLMN ID设置为 UE所 选择网络的 PLMN ID; 在非接入层消息中 (附着请求消息) , UE携带上次 注册所在的 MME的 MME ID、 Pool ID和 PLMN ID, 并且可选地, UE还可 携带上次注册所在的 TAI (跟踪区 ID ) 。  Since the UE is registered in the network for the first time when the attach request message is sent, the UE may set the MME ID and the Pool ID of the initial direct transmission message to NULL, that is, invalid, and the PLMN ID is set to the PLMN ID of the network selected by the UE; In the layer message (attach request message), the UE carries the MME ID, Pool ID and PLMN ID of the MME where the last registration is located, and optionally, the UE may also carry the TAI (Tracking Area ID) where the last registration is located.
步骤 202, eNB收到初始直传消息后, 解析出标识信息, 判断所述标识 信息中的 PLMN ID是否有效, 如果是, 执行下一步, 否则 eNB直接返回失 败响应给 UE, 注册过程结束; Step 202: After receiving the initial direct transmission message, the eNB parses the identifier information, and determines whether the PLMN ID in the identifier information is valid. If yes, perform the next step, otherwise the eNB directly returns the loss. Responding to the UE, the registration process ends;
步驟 203, 如果 eNB判断 PLMN ID有效, MME ID和 Pool ID无效, 则 eNB根据 PLMN ID为 UE选择该 PLMN对应的 MME池, 并决定所要连接 的 MME池的 Pool ID ( eNB中配置有所连接的多个 MME池的分别对应的 POOL ID, 以及每个 POOL ID所对应的 PLMN ID ) , 生成 MME池的域名, 如: Pool ID.PLMN ID, eNB 居该域名访问这个 MME池所对应的资源管 理服务器, 并由该 MME 池所对应的资源管理服务器根据负荷分担原则给 UE分配 MME;  Step 203: If the eNB determines that the PLMN ID is valid, and the MME ID and the Pool ID are invalid, the eNB selects the MME pool corresponding to the PLMN according to the PLMN ID, and determines the Pool ID of the MME pool to be connected. The corresponding POOL ID of the multiple MME pools, and the PLMN ID corresponding to each POOL ID, generates a domain name of the MME pool, such as: Pool ID. PLMN ID, and the eNB accesses the resource management corresponding to the MME pool. a server, and the resource management server corresponding to the MME pool allocates an MME to the UE according to a load sharing principle;
分配 MME可采用以下两种方法, 如图中虚框 a和 b所示。  The following two methods can be used to allocate the MME, as shown by the dashed boxes a and b in the figure.
第一种方法:  the first method:
Al , eNB将从 UE发来的附着请求消息发送给所生成的域名所对应的资 源管理服务器;  Al, the eNB sends an attach request message sent by the UE to the resource management server corresponding to the generated domain name;
A2, 资源管理服务器根据负荷分担原则为 UE分配 MME, 并将附着请 求消息重定向到该分配的 MME, 即直接将附着请求消息发送给 MME。  A2, the resource management server allocates the MME to the UE according to the load sharing principle, and redirects the attach request message to the allocated MME, that is, directly sends the attach request message to the MME.
资源管理服务器可以是一个或多个独立设置的服务器,也可以将该功能 分布在 MME池中的所有 MME里。若分配的 MME为资源管理服务器自身, 则不需执行步骤 A2。  The resource management server can be one or more independently set servers, or it can be distributed among all MMEs in the MME pool. If the allocated MME is the resource management server itself, step A2 is not required.
第二种方法:  The second method:
Bl , eNB根据所生成的域名向资源管理服务器请求分配 MME; Bl, the eNB requests the resource management server to allocate an MME according to the generated domain name;
B2, 资源管理服务器根据负荷分担原则给 UE分配 MME;  B2, the resource management server allocates the MME to the UE according to the load sharing principle;
此时, 资源管理服务器是独立设置的一个或多个服务器, 可以将该服务 器的功能集成到域名解析服务器 DNS中。  At this point, the resource management server is one or more servers that are set up independently, and the functions of the server can be integrated into the domain name resolution server DNS.
B3 , eNB将从 UE收到的附着请求消息转发给资源管理服务器分配的 MME- eNB向 MME转发消息时,先查找该 MME的 IP地址,再将消息转发过 去。  B3, the eNB forwards the attach request message received by the UE to the MME-eNB allocated by the resource management server to forward the message to the MME, first searches for the IP address of the MME, and then forwards the message.
步骤 204, MME收到附着请求消息后, 判断附着请求消息中是否携带 了有效的老 Pool ID (或老 TAI )和老 MME ID, 如果是, 执行下一步, 否 则, 转步骤 207; Step 204: After receiving the attach request message, the MME determines whether the attach request message carries a valid old Pool ID (or old TAI) and old MME ID, if yes, go to the next step, otherwise, go to step 207;
步骤 205, MME根据附着请求消息中携带的老 Pool ID (或老 TAI )和 老 MME ID解析出 UE最后一次注册所在的老 MME的域名, 并才艮据该域名 通过 DNS解析获得所述老 MME的 IP地址, 并向该老 MME发送请求传送 UE上下文消息, 所述 UE上下文消息包括用户密钥、 签约属性等用户信息; 由于一个 MME Pool管理一组 TA, 并且 TA是全局唯一的, 因此当两 个 MME池的 TA不重叠时 TAI可用来标识 MME Pool。  Step 205: The MME parses the domain name of the old MME where the UE was last registered according to the old pool ID (or the old TAI) and the old MME ID carried in the attach request message, and obtains the old MME according to the domain name through DNS resolution. IP address, and send a request to the old MME to transmit a UE context message, where the UE context message includes user information such as a user key and a subscription attribute; since one MME Pool manages a group of TAs, and the TA is globally unique, The TAI can be used to identify the MME Pool when the TAs of the two MME pools do not overlap.
步骤 206, 老 MME将 UE的上下文消息发送给此时的 MME;  Step 206: The old MME sends the context message of the UE to the MME at this time;
步驟 207, 根据需要 MME决定是否需要对用户进行认证(例如, 如果 用户为新用户, 或上次的认证快要过期时) , 如果是, 则 MME对 UE进行 认证, 执行下一步, 否则, 直接执行下一步;  Step 207: Determine, according to the requirement, whether the user needs to be authenticated (for example, if the user is a new user, or the last authentication is about to expire), if yes, the MME authenticates the UE, and performs the next step, otherwise, directly executes Next step;
步驟 208, MME向归属用户服务器 HSS注册自己为该 UE服务; 步骤 209, HSS收到 MME的注册消息后, 向老 MME发送删除用户上 下文消息的命令;  Step 208: The MME registers itself with the home subscriber server HSS to serve the UE. Step 209: After receiving the registration message of the MME, the HSS sends a command to delete the user context message to the old MME.
步骤 210, 老 MME将用户上下文删除或标识为不存在;  Step 210: The old MME deletes or identifies the user context as not existing.
步驟 211 , HSS向 MME插入用户签约信息;  Step 211: The HSS inserts user subscription information into the MME.
步骤 212,在 MME的控制下建立缺省 IP承载 (即分配 IP,建立连接); 该步骤还需核心网用户面单元的参与, 不在本发明讨论范围之内, 不赘 加描述。  Step 212: Establish a default IP bearer under the control of the MME (that is, assign an IP and establish a connection); this step also requires the participation of the core network user plane unit, which is not within the scope of the present invention and will not be described.
步骤 213, MME向 UE发送注册确认消息(或称为附着接受消息), 若 核心网服务节点判定 MME ID发生了改变 (即与移动终端发送的非接入消 息中的 MME ID不一致) , 则核心网服务节点在所述确认消息中携带最新 标识信息, 包括 MME ID、 Pool ID, 或者还包括 PLMN ID;  Step 213: The MME sends a registration confirmation message (or an attach accept message) to the UE. If the core network serving node determines that the MME ID has changed (that is, the MME ID in the non-access message sent by the mobile terminal does not match), the core The network service node carries the latest identification information, including the MME ID, the Pool ID, or the PLMN ID, in the acknowledgement message;
步骤 214, UE收到注册确认消息后, 保存其中的标识信息, 向 MME 返回注册成功确认(或称为附着接受确认消息) 。  Step 214: After receiving the registration confirmation message, the UE saves the identifier information therein, and returns a registration success confirmation (or an attachment acceptance confirmation message) to the MME.
UE保存其中的标识信息, 以便下次接入时能将非接入层消息正确路由 到该 MMEo The UE saves the identification information therein so that the non-access stratum message can be correctly routed the next time the access is made. To the MMEo
第二实施例 如图 3所示, 本实施例是移动终端保持在同一 MME池所管理的无线接 入网范围内时, 在空闲状态激活某业务时的流程。 在本流程中, UE在发起 业务请求前已保存了有效的 MME ID和 Pool ID。 其步骤如下所述: Second Embodiment As shown in FIG. 3, this embodiment is a flow when a mobile terminal maintains a service in an idle state while maintaining a range of a wireless access network managed by the same MME pool. In this process, the UE has saved a valid MME ID and Pool ID before initiating a service request. The steps are as follows:
步厥 301 , UE的业务请求消息通过 UE与 eNB之间的 RRC消息的初始 直传消息传送, 初始直传消息中包括业务清求消息 (非接入层消息)和 UE 最后一次注册时的标识信息,所述标识信息包括 MME ID、 Pool ID和 PLMN ID;  Step 301: The service request message of the UE is transmitted by using an initial direct transmission message of the RRC message between the UE and the eNB, where the initial direct transmission message includes a service clearing message (non-access stratum message) and an identifier of the last registration of the UE. Information, the identifier information includes an MME ID, a Pool ID, and a PLMN ID;
在初始直传消息中携带标识信息是为了使得 eNB寻路时无需解析非接 入层消息 (这里即业务请求) 。  The identification information is carried in the initial direct transmission message so that the eNB does not need to parse the non-access layer message (here, the service request) when searching for the path.
步骤 302, eNB收到初始直传消息后, 解析出标识信息, 判断所述标识 信息中的 Pool ID是该 eNB所连的某个 MME池的 ID, 且该 MME池属于 PLMN ID所指定的 PLMN,且 MME ID不为 NULL,则 eNB根据 PLMN ID、 Pool ID和 MME ID组成 MME的域名, 如: MME ID.Pool ID.PLMN ID; 步骤 303 , eNB才艮据上述域名找到所述 MME (将域名转换为 IP地址定 位到 MME ) , 在 UE与该 MME间建立关联(如将 RRC与信令链路绑定), 将 UE的业务请求消息发送给该 MME;  Step 302: After receiving the initial direct transmission message, the eNB parses the identifier information, and determines that the Pool ID in the identifier information is an ID of a certain MME pool connected to the eNB, and the MME pool belongs to the PLMN specified by the PLMN ID. And the MME ID is not NULL, the eNB composes the domain name of the MME according to the PLMN ID, the Pool ID, and the MME ID, such as: MME ID.Pool ID.PLMN ID; Step 303, the eNB finds the MME according to the domain name. The domain name is translated to the IP address and is located in the MME, and the UE is associated with the MME (for example, the RRC is bound to the signaling link), and the service request message of the UE is sent to the MME;
MME收到业务请求消息后, 根据需要对所述 UE进行认证。 后续的非 接入层消息在 MME与 UE间直接转发, eNB无需再次解析域名。  After receiving the service request message, the MME authenticates the UE as needed. Subsequent non-access stratum messages are forwarded directly between the MME and the UE, and the eNB does not need to resolve the domain name again.
第三实施例 如图 4所示, 本实施例是移动终端在空闲状态下移动到另一个 MME池 所管理的无线接入网范围时的跟踪区更新流程。 在本流程中, UE内保存的 Pool ID不是目前要接入的 MME池的 ID, 因此, UE内保存的 Pool ID和 MME ID无效。 其步骤如下所述: Third Embodiment As shown in Fig. 4, this embodiment is a tracking area update procedure when a mobile terminal moves to an area of a radio access network managed by another MME pool in an idle state. In this process, the Pool ID saved in the UE is not the ID of the MME pool to be accessed. Therefore, the Pool ID and MME ID saved in the UE are invalid. The steps are as follows:
步骤 401 , UE检测到跟踪区发生变化时(小区广播的跟踪区列表与 UE 所保存的跟踪区列表无交集) , 发送跟踪区更新请求消息, UE的跟踪区更 新请求消息通过 UE与 eNB之间的 RRC消息初始直传消息传送, 初始直传 消息中包括跟踪区更新请求消息(非接入层消息)和 UE最后一次注册时的 标识信息, 所述标识信息包括: MME ID、 ?001 10和? ^ ; Step 401: When the UE detects that the tracking area changes (the tracking area list broadcasted by the cell and the UE) The tracked area update request message is sent, and the tracking area update request message of the UE is transmitted by the initial direct transmission message of the RRC message between the UE and the eNB, and the initial direct transmission message includes the tracking area update request message. (non-access stratum message) and identification information when the UE is last registered, the identifier information includes: MME ID, ? 001 10 and? ^ ;
所述跟踪区更新请求消息是发送给 MME的, 此消息需通过 UE与 eNB 间的 RRC消息初始直传消息传送到 eNB。  The tracking area update request message is sent to the MME, and the message is transmitted to the eNB through an initial direct transmission message of the RRC message between the UE and the eNB.
步骤 402, eNB收到初始直传消息后, 解析出标识信息, 判断所述标识 信息中的 PLMN ID是否有效, 如果是, 执行下一步, 否则 eNB直接返回失 败响应给 UE, 注册过程结束;  Step 402: After receiving the initial direct transmission message, the eNB parses the identifier information, and determines whether the PLMN ID in the identifier information is valid. If yes, perform the next step, otherwise the eNB directly returns a failure response to the UE, and the registration process ends;
步骤 403 , eNB判定 PLMN ID有效, MME ID和 Pool ID无效,根据 PLMN Step 403: The eNB determines that the PLMN ID is valid, and the MME ID and the Pool ID are invalid, according to the PLMN.
ID决定所要连接的 MME池的 Pool ID,并生成域名,如: Pool ID.PLMN ID, eNB才 居该域名访问该 MME池所对应的资源管理服务器,并由该资源管理 服务器根据负荷分担原则给 UE分配一个 MME; The ID determines the pool ID of the MME pool to be connected, and generates a domain name, such as: Pool ID. PLMN ID, where the eNB accesses the resource management server corresponding to the MME pool, and the resource management server gives the resource management server according to the load sharing principle. The UE allocates an MME;
在本实施例中 , Pool ID与同一 PLMN中管理该 eNB的 Pool ID不同, MME池发生改变, 此时 MME ID和 Pool ID虽然不是 NULL, 但是仍为无 效, 需重新分配 MME。  In this embodiment, the Pool ID is different from the Pool ID of the eNB in the same PLMN, and the MME pool is changed. The MME ID and the Pool ID are not NULL, but are still invalid. The MME needs to be re-allocated.
分配 MME有如下两种方法, 如图中虚框 a和 b所示。  There are two methods for assigning MMEs, as shown by the dashed boxes a and b in the figure.
第一种方法:  the first method:
Al , eNB将从 UE发来的跟踪更新请求消息发送给所生成的域名所对应 的资源管理服务器;  Al, the eNB sends a tracking update request message sent by the UE to the resource management server corresponding to the generated domain name;
A2, 资源管理服务器根据负荷分担原则为 UE分配 MME, 并将跟踪更 新请求消息重定向到该分配的 MME。  A2. The resource management server allocates the MME to the UE according to the load sharing principle, and redirects the tracking update request message to the allocated MME.
资源管理服务器可以是一个或多个独立设置的服务器,也可以将该功能 分布在 MME池中的所有 MME里。若分配的 MME为资源管理服务器自身, 则不需执行步骤 A2。  The resource management server can be one or more independently set servers, or it can be distributed among all MMEs in the MME pool. If the allocated MME is the resource management server itself, step A2 is not required.
第二种方法:  The second method:
Bl , eNB根据所生成的域名向资源管理服务器请求分配 MME; Bl, the eNB requests the resource management server to allocate an MME according to the generated domain name;
B2, 资源管理服务器根据负荷分担原则给 UE分配 MME: 此时, 资源管理服务器是独立设置的一个或多个服务器。 可以将该服务 器的功能集成到域名解析服务器 DNS中。 B2, the resource management server allocates the MME to the UE according to the load sharing principle: At this point, the resource management server is one or more servers that are set up independently. The functionality of the server can be integrated into the DNS of the domain name resolution server.
B3 , eNB将从 UE收到的跟踪更新请求消息转发给资源管理服务器分配 的 MME。  B3. The eNB forwards the tracking update request message received by the UE to the MME allocated by the resource management server.
eNB向 MME转发消息时, 先查找集中控制单元中该 MME的 IP地址, 再将消息转发过去。  When the eNB forwards the message to the MME, it first searches for the IP address of the MME in the centralized control unit, and then forwards the message.
步骤 404, MME收到跟踪更新请求消息后, 判断跟踪更新请求消息中 是否携带了有效的老 Pool ID (或老 TAI )和老 MME ID, 如果是, 执行下 一步, 否则, 执行步骤 407;  Step 404, after receiving the tracking update request message, the MME determines whether the tracking old update request message carries a valid old Pool ID (or old TAI) and the old MME ID, and if so, performs the next step, otherwise, step 407;
步骤 405, MME根据跟踪更新请求消息中的老 Pool ID (或老 TAI )和 老 MME ID解析出 UE最后一次注册所在的老 MME的 IP地址,并向该 Old MME发送请求传送 UE上下文消息;  Step 405: The MME parses the IP address of the old MME where the UE was last registered according to the old Pool ID (or the old TAI) and the old MME ID in the tracking update request message, and sends a request to transmit the UE context message to the Old MME.
步骤 406, 老 MME将 UE的上下文消息发送给此时的 MME, 所述 UE 上下文消息包括用户密钥、 签约属性等用户信息;  Step 406: The old MME sends the context message of the UE to the MME at the current time, where the UE context message includes user information such as a user key and a subscription attribute.
步驟 407, 根据需要 MME决定是否需要对用户进行认证(例如, 如果 用户为新用户, 或上次的认证快要过期时) , 如果是, 则新 MME对 UE进 行认证, 执行下一步, 否则, 直接执行下一步;  Step 407: Determine, according to requirements, whether the user needs to be authenticated (for example, if the user is a new user, or the last authentication is about to expire), if yes, the new MME authenticates the UE, and performs the next step, otherwise, directly Carry out the next step;
步骤 408, MME向 HSS注册自己为该 UE服务;  Step 408: The MME registers with the HSS to serve the UE.
步骤 409, HSS收到 MME的注册消息后, 向老 MME发送删除用户上 下文的命令;  Step 409: After receiving the registration message of the MME, the HSS sends a command to delete the user context to the old MME.
步骤 410, 老 MME将用户上下文删除或标识为不存在;  Step 410: The old MME deletes or identifies the user context as not existing.
步骤 411 , HSS向 MME插入用户签约信息;  Step 411: The HSS inserts user subscription information into the MME.
步驟 412, MME向 UE发送跟踪区更新接受消息,在该消息中携带有标 识信息, 包括 MME ID、 Pool ID, 或者还包括 PLMN ID;  Step 412: The MME sends a tracking area update accept message to the UE, where the message carries the identification information, including the MME ID, the Pool ID, or the PLMN ID.
步骤 413 , UE收到跟踪区更新接受消息后, 保存其中的标识信息, 向 Step 413: After receiving the tracking area update accept message, the UE saves the identifier information in the tracking information.
MME确认跟踪区更新成功。 The MME confirms that the tracking area update is successful.
UE保存其中的标识信息, 以便下次接入时能将非接入层消息正确路由 到该 MME。 The UE saves the identification information therein so that the non-access stratum message can be correctly routed the next time the access is made. Go to the MME.
当然, 本发明还可有其他多种实施例, 在不背离本发明精神及其实质的 形, 但这些相应的改变和变形都应属于本发明所附的权利要求的保护范围。  It is a matter of course that the invention may be embodied in various other forms without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.
