a ) UE 22在源网络中单个 PDN连接使用双 IP地址, 可用接入网络信息 中存在接入网络支持的 IP协议栈为 IPv4/ IPv6双栈的接入网络, 则 UE 22优 选这个接入网络为目标接入网络。 或者,
b) UE 22在源网络中单个 PDN连接使用双 IP地址, 可用接入网络信息 中不存在接入网络支持的 IP协议栈为 IPv4/IPv6双栈的接入网络但是存在接 入网络支持的 IP协议栈为 IPv6的接入网络, 则 UE 22优选这个接入网络为 目标接入网络。 或者,
c) UE 22在源网络中单个 PDN连接使用单 IP地址, 可用接入网络信息 中存在接入网络支持的 IP协议栈为 IPv4/ IPv6双栈的接入网络, 则 UE 22优 选这个接入网络为目标接入网络。 或者,
d ) UE 22在源网络中单个 PDN连接使用单 IP地址, 可用接入网络信息 中不存在接入网络支持的 IP协议栈为 IPv4/ IPv6双栈的接入网络, 则 UE 22 优选接入网络支持的 IP协议栈与 UE 22当前使用的 IP协议栈一致的接入网 络为目标接入网络。
或者具体可为:
UE 22根据 UE 22在源网络中的 PDN连接使用的 IP地址信息以及可用接 入网络 PDN连接支持的 IP协议栈能力类型和接入网络支持的 IP协议栈选择 目标网络。 例: ¾口:
a ) UE 22在源网络中单个 PDN连接使用双 IP地址, 可用接入网络信息 中存在接入网絡 PDN连接支持的 IP协议栈能力类型为 IP双栈的接入网络, 则 UE 22优选这个接入网络为目标接入网络。 或者,

需要说明的是: 如果 UE 22将要切换的目标接入网络决定由 ANDSF网元 判决, 则上述的选择处理由 ANDSF网元执行。 这时 UE 22需在步骤 201 中将 UE 22当前使用的 IP协议栈 ( IPv4或者 IPv6或者 IPv4/IPv6 )上报给 ANDSF 网元。 ANDSF网元判决执行后将决定的目标接入网絡信息通知给 UE 22。
本实施例中, 移动终端通过从 ANDSF 网元获取可用接入网络信息, 并根 据本身在源网络中使用的 IP 地址信息及可用接入网络信息选择切换的目标 网络, 或者 ANDSF 网元通过从移动终端上 · ^艮的信息中获取移动终端在源网络 中使用的 IP地址信息, 并根据获取的 IP地址信息及可用接入网络信息选择 切换的目标网络, 使得如下场景:
1、 UE在源网络使用 IPv6地址, 而目标网络设置 IP地址请求指示信息 为 IPv4 , 即目标网络要求 UE使用 IPv4地址;
2、 UE在源网络使用 IPv4地址, 而目标网络要求 UE使用 IPv6;
3、 UE在源网络使用 IPv4地址和 IPv6地址, 而目标网络只要求 UE使用 IPv4地址或者 IPv6地址;
避免了目标网络不能继续使用 UE在源网络中使用的 I P地址的情况发生, 也避免了由于移动终端使用的 IP地址丢失,导致移动终端在源网络中使用的 业务中断或者部分业务中断的问题发生, 使得移动终端在众多能力不同的可 用接入网络中, 实现了优先选择切换到和源网络 IP 地址能力相同的目标网 络, 保证了移动终端在源网络中使用的 IP地址在目标网络都能继续使用, 大 大提高了移动终端的用户体验。

图 5为本发明网络切换时 IP地址处理方法应用于 UE从 non-3GPP网络需 要切换到 3GPP网络或者 UE从 non-3GPP网络切换到 3GPP网络的实施例的流 程图, 具体包括以下步骤:
步骤 401、 UE在 non- 3GPP接入。 其中, 对于 WLAN 系统, 该步骤中的 Non-3GPP Access 网元为演进分组数据网关 ( EPDG, Evolved Packet Data Gateway ); 对于微波存耳又全球互通 ( Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access, WiMAX ) 系统, 该步骤中的 Non-3GPP Access网元为接入 业务网络网关 (Access Service Network Gateway, ASN GW ); 对于码分多址 (Code Division Multiple Access, CDMA) 系统, 该步驟中的 Non- 3GPP Access网元为接入网关 (Access Gateway, AG ); 对于高速分组数据 (High Rate Packet Data, HRPD ) 网络, 该步骤中的 Non— 3GPP Access 网元为分组 数据服务节点 (PDSN, Packet Date Service Node )。 步驟 403、 UE决定切换到选择的目标网络如 3GPP网络, 发起 non- 3GPP 网络到 3 GPP网络之间的切换。
步骤 405、 UE 22 通过 3GPP 网络的接入网元发送附着请求 (At tach Reques t ) 消息到移动性管理网元, 请求切换到 3GPP网络; 或者 UE 22需要 切换到 3GPP网络, 但是 UE 22还驻留在 non- 3GPP网络, UE 22通过 non- 3GPP 网络的接入网元发送附着请求消息到移动性管理网元。 对于 GERAN 18/UTRAN 17 网络来说, 移动性管理网元为 SGSN 19; 对于 E- UTRAN 17 11 网络来说, 移动性管理网元为 MME 12。
UE 22在附着请求消息中可以携带 IP地址请求指示信息, 指示网络侧 UE 22需要获取什么样的地址信息。 具体可为:
UE 22根据 UE 22在源网络 PDN连接中使用的 IP地址信息决定 IP地址 请求指示信息。 例如:
UE 22在源网络 PDN连接使用双栈, 则 UE 22设置 IP地址请求指示信息 为双栈 ( Dua l Stack ), 即 UE 22请求 IPv4地址和 IPv6地址;
UE 22在源网络 PDN连接使用单栈, 则 UE 22设置 I P地址请求指示信息 为 IPv4或者 IPv6 , 请求的 IP地址类型与 UE 22在源网络 PDN连接中使用的 IP地址类型相同。
或者具体可为:
UE 22根据 UE 22在源网络 PDN连接中使用的 IP地址信息和目标网络 PDN 连接支持的 IP协议栈能力类型决定 IP地址请求指示信息。 例如:
UE 22在源网络 PDN连接使用双栈 , 目标网络 PDN连接支持的 I P协议栈 能力类型为 IP双栈, 则 UE 22设置 IP地址请求指示信息为双栈, 即 UE 22 请求 IPv4地址和 IPv6地址; 或者,
UE 22在源网络 PDN连接使用双栈 , 目标网络 PDN连接支持的 I P协议栈 能力类型为单栈, 则 UE 22设置 IP地址请求指示信息为 IPv4或者 IPv6 ; 或 者, UE 22在源网络 PDN连接使用单栈, 则 UE 22设置 IP地址请求指示信息 为 IPv4或者 IPv6 , 请求的 IP地址类型与 UE 22在源网络中使用的 IP地址 类型一致。
或者具体可为:
UE 22根据 UE 22在源网络 PDN连接中使用的 I P地址信息、 目标网络 PDN 连接支持的 IP协议栈能力类型信息和目标网络支持的 IP协议栈信息决定 IP 地址请求指示信息。 例如:
UE 22在源网络 PDN连接使用双栈 , 目标网络 PDN连接支持的 I P协议栈 能力类型为 IP双栈且目标网络支持的 IP协议栈为 IPv4/ IPv6 , 则 UE 22设 置 IP地址请求指示信息为双栈, 即 UE 22请求 IPv4地址和 IPv6地址;或者, UE 22在源网络 PDN连接使用双栈 , 目标网络 PDN连接支持的 I P协议栈 能力类型为 IP双栈(或者 IP单栈)但是目标网络支持的 IP协议栈为 IPv4 或者 IPv6 , 则 UE 22设置 IP地址请求指示信息为 IPv4或者 IPv6 , 请求的 IP地址类型与目标网络支持的 IP协议栈地址类型一致; 或者,
UE 22在源网络 PDN连接使用双栈, 目标网络 PDN连接支持的 IP协议栈 能力类型为单栈, 则 UE 22设置 IP地址请求指示信息为 IPv4或者 IPv6 ; 或 者,
UE 22在源网络 PDN连接使用双栈 , 目标网络 PDN连接支持的 I P协议栈 能力类型为 IP单栈但是目标网络支持的 IP协议栈为 IPv4/ IPv6 , 则 UE 22 设置 IP地址请求指示信息为 IPv4或者 IPv6; 或者,
UE 22 在源网络 PDN 连接使用单栈, 目标网络支持的 IP 协议栈为 IPv4/IPv6 , 或者目标网络支持的 IP协议栈为 IPv4或者 IPv6但是目标网络 支持的 IP协议栈类型与 UE 22在源网络中使用的 IP地址类型一致, 则 UE 22 设置 IP地址请求指示信息为 IPv4或者 IPv6 , 请求的 IP地址类型与 UE 22 在源网络中使用的 IP地址类型一致。 或者,
UE 22在源网络 PDN连接使用单栈, 目标网络支持的 IP协议栈为 IPv4 或者 IPv6但是目标网络支持的 IP协议栈类型与 UE 22在源网络中使用的 IP 地址类型不一致, 则 UE 22设置 IP地址请求指示信息为 IPv4或者 IPv6 , 请 求的 IP地址类型与目标网络支持的 IP协议栈类型一致。
UE 22可以在 "At tach Reques t" 消息中携带目标网络支持的 IP协议栈 类型信息, 或者
如果目标网络支持的 IP协议栈类型为 IPv4或者 IPv6 , 则 UE 22 以在 "At tach Reques t" 消息中携带目标网络支持的 IP 协议栈类型信息。 如果 UE 22未在 "At tach Reques t" 消息中携带目标网络支持的 IP协议栈类型信 息, 则网络侧缺省认为目标网络支持的 IP协议栈类型信息为 IPv4/IPv6。
目标网络支持的 IP协议栈类型信息可以为:
"Network Suppor t IP Address Indicator" 信元: 如果这个信元的值 为 IPv4 , 则表示目标网络只支持 IPv4地址; 如果这个信元的值为 IPv6 , 则 表示目标网络只支持 IPv6地址; 如果这个信元的值为 IPv4/IPv6 , 则表示目 标网络支持 IPv4地址和 IPv6地址。
步骤 407 、 UE 22、 移动性管理网元、 HSS 16 之间执行鉴权
( Authent icat ion ) 流程。
步骤 409、 移动性管理网元和 HSS 16之间执行位置更新和插入签约数据 ( Update Locat ion and Insert Subscr iber Data ) 流程, 将移动性管理网 元的地址注册到 HSS 16中, 同时 HSS 16将 UE 22的签约数据插入到移动性 管理网元中。 HSS 16在本步骤中将 UE 22在 non- 3GPP网络中使用的 PDN连 接信息下发给移动性管理网元, 即移动性管理网元获得 UE 22在 non- 3GPP网 络中使用的 APN、 PGW 14地址信息。
步驟 411、 如果 UE 22在 non- 3GPP网络到 3GPP网络切换或者需要切换 时 PDN连接由网络侧网元发起, 则移动性管理网元对于每个获得的 APN、 PGW 1 地址记录发起 PDN连接建立程序。 如果 UE 22在 non- 3GPP网络到 3GPP网 络切换或者需要切换时 PDN连接由 UE 22发起,则移动性管理网元不发起 PDN 连接建立程序或者移动性管理网元只发起缺省 PDN连接 (即缺省 APN对应的 PDN连接)建立程序。
移动性管理网元发送创建缺省承载请求 ( Create Defaul t Bearer Reques t ) 消息到 SGW 13, 消息中携带记录中的 PGW 14地址、 APN、 IP地址 请求指示信息。 如果 IP地址请求指示信息由 UE 22决定, 则移动性管理网元 可以从 UE 22发送的 "At tach Reques t" 消息中获取 IP地址请求指示信息。 如果 IP地址请求指示信息由网络侧 (在本实施例中由网络侧的移动性管理网 元) 决定, 则移动性管理网元决定 IP地址请求指示信息具体可为:

UE 22在源网络 PDN连接使用双栈 , 目标网络 PDN连接支持的 I P协议栈 能力类型为 IP双栈(或者 IP单栈)但是目标网络支持的 IP协议栈为 IPv4 或者 IPv6, 则移动性管理网元设置 IP地址请求指示信息为 IPv4或者 IPv6, 请求的 IP地址类型与目标网络支持的 IP协议栈地址类型一致; 或者

UE 22在源网络 PDN连接中使用 IPv4和 IPv6地址, PGW 14收到的创建 缺省承载请求消息或者代理绑定更新消息中的 IP地址请求指示信息为双栈, 则 PGW 1 在这次的 PDN连接建立中继续使用 UE 22在源网络 PDN连接中使用 的 IPv4和 IPv6地址。
或者具体可为: UE 22在源网络 PDN连接中使用 IPv4和 IPv6地址, PGW 1 收到的创建缺省承载请求消息或者代理绑定更新消息中的 IP地址请求指 示信息为 IPv4或者 IPv6 ,则 PGW 14在这次的 PDN连接建立中继续使用 UE 22 在源网络中使用的 IPv4或者 IPv6地址, 使用的 IP地址类型与 IP地址请求 指示信息中的 IP地址类型一致。 同时 PGW 1 将继续保留 UE 22在源网络中 使用的另一个 IP地址。 PGW将原 PDN连接分成两个 PDN连接。 相应的业务数 据流根据相应的 IP地址划分到相应的 PDN连接中。
或者具体可为: UE 22在源网络 PDN连接中使用 IPv4和 IPv6地址, PGW 1 收到的创建缺省承载请求消息或者代理绑定更新消息中的 IP地址请求指 示信息为 IPv4或者 IPv6且目标网络支持的 IP协议栈为 IPv4或者 IPv6 , 则 PG 14在这次的 PDN连接建立中继续使用 UE 22在源网络中使用的 IPv4或 者 IPv6地址, 使用的 IP地址类型与 IP地址请求指示信息中的 IP地址类型 一致, 同时 PGW 14将删除 UE 22在源网络中使用的另一个 IP地址, 释放这 个 IP地址使用的信息 (如这个地址使用的 TFT )0

如果目标网络支持的 IP协议栈类型为 IPv4或者 IPv6 ,则 UE 22以在 PDN 连接请求消息中携带目标网络支持的 IP协议栈类型信息。 如果 UE 22 未在 PD 连接请求消息中携带目标网络支持的 IP协议栈类型信息, 则网络侧缺省 认为目标网络支持的 IP协议栈类型信息为 IPv4/ IPv6。
如果 UE 22在源网络使用 IPv4和 IPv6地址而目标网络 PDN连接支持的
IP协议栈能力类型为 IP单栈, 则 UE 22对源网络的一个 PDN连接发送两个 PDN连接请求消息到移动性管理网元, 一个 PDN连接请求消息中的 IP地址请 求指示信息设置为 IPv4 , 另一个 PDN连接请求消息中的 IP地址请求指示信 息设置为 IPv6。
如果 UE 22在 non- 3GPP到 3GPP切换或者需要切换时 PDN连接由网络侧 发起, 且 UE 22发现网络侧建立的 PDN连接只使用一个 IP地址而 UE 22在源 网络 PDN连接中建立的 PD 连接使用两个 IP地址, 则 UE 22发起 PDN连接建 立程序, 指示网络侧将 UE 22在源网络 PDN连接中分配的另一个 IP地址分配 给这个 PDN连接。 如网络侧发起的 PDN连接建立程序中建立的 PDN连接使用 IPv4地址, 则 UE 22发送 PDN连接请求消息到移动性管理网元, UE 22设置 消息中的 IP地址请求指示信息为 IPv6。 这样网络侧将 UE 22在源网络 PDN 连接中分配的 IPv6地址分配给这个 PDN连接。
如果 UE 22在 non- 3GPP到 3GPP切换或者需要切换时 PDN连接由网络侧 发起, JL UE 22发现网络侧建立的 PDN连接只使用一个 I P地址而且网络侧通 知 UE 22 目标网络支持的 IP协议栈为单栈, 如果 UE 22在源网络 PDN连接中 建立的 PDN连接使用两个 I P地址 , 则 UE 22将在源网络 PDN连接中分配的另 一个 IP地址删除, 将这个 IP地址使用的信息 (如这个地址使用的 TFT )删 除。
步骤 423、 移动性管理网元收到上述消息后, 根据消息中携带的 APN查 询记录, 获取 APN对应的 PGW地址。 移动性管理网元发送创建缺省承载请求 ( Create Defaul t Bearer Reques t ) 消息到 SGW 13请求 PDN连接创建, 消 息中携带记录中的 PGW地址、 APN、 IP地址请求指示信息。 如果 IP地址请求 指示信息由 UE 22 决定, 则移动性管理网元可以从 UE 22 发送的 PDN Connect ion Reques t消息中获取 IP地址请求指示信息。 如果 IP地址请求指 示信息由网络侧 (在本实施例中由网络侧的移动性管理网元) 决定, 移动性 管理网元决定 IP地址请求指示信息的方法同步骤 6中的处理,这里不再赘述。

步骤 509、 PGW 14收到上述消息后根据 APN定位到这个 UE 22使用的 PDN 连接, 则 PGW 14保留这个 PDN连接的 IP地址不变, 即 PGW 14对于这个 PDN 连接继续使用 UE 22在 3GPP网络时分配的 IP地址而不需要为这个 PDN连接 分配 IP地址。 具体可为:

图 7为本发明网络切换时 IP地址处理方法用于 UE从 3GPP网络切换到 non-3GPP网络或者 UE从 3GPP网络需要切换到 non-3GPP网络另一实施例的 流程图。 本实施例中, UE 22 和 PGW 之间使用双栈移动 IPv6 ( DSMIPv6 , Dua l-Stack MIPv6)协议或者 MIPv4 FACoA (移动 IPv4外部代理转发地址, MIPv4 Foreign Agent Care-of-Addres s )协议。 切换过程具体包括:

UE 22可以在绑定更新消息中携带目标网络支持的 IP协议栈类型信息, 或者
如果目标网络支持的 IP协议栈类型为 IPv4或者 IPv6, 则 UE 22以在绑 定更新消息中携带目标网络支持的 IP协议栈类型信息。 如果 UE 22未在绑定 更新消息中携带目标网络支持的 IP协议栈类型信息,则网络侧确认认为目标 网络支持的 IP协议栈类型信息为 IPv4/IPv6。 如果 UE 22在源网络 PDN连接使用 IPv4和 IPv6地址而目标网络 PDN连 接支持的 IP协议栈能力类型为 IP单栈, 则 UE 22对源网络 PDN连接的一个 PD 连接发送两个绑定更新消息到 Non- 3GPP Acces s 网元, 一个绑定更新中 的 IP地址请求指示信息设置为 IPv4, 另一个绑定更新消息中的 IP地址请求 指示信息设置为 IPv6。
步骤 611、 PGW 14收到上述消息后根据 APN定位到这个 UE 22使用的 PDN 连接, 则 PGW 14保留这个 PDN连接的 IP地址不变, 即 PGW 14对于这个 PDN 连接继续使用 UE 22在 3GPP网络时分配的 IP地址而不需要为这个 PDN连接 分配 IP地址。 后续处理同图 5所示实施例中的处理。
PGW 14回绑定确认 ( Binding Acknowledge ) 消息到 UE 22 , 消息中携带 这个 PDN连接使用的 IP地址。
本实施例中, non- 3GPP 网关通过绑定更新消息获取指定的 IP地址信息, 并根据指定的 IP地址信息进行网络切换, 实现了 UE在 non-3GPP网络中能够 继续使用移动终端在 3GPP网络中分配的 IP地址。
