本发明涉及通信技术领域, 尤其涉及接入、获取用户设备上下文及用户设 备标识的方法和装置。
背景技术
在现有的通信网络中, 存在传统的第二代(2G, Second Generation )通信 网络, 第三代(3G, 3rd Generation )通信网络, 以及融合了更多先进技术的 长期演进(LTE, Long Term Evolution ) /系统体系结构演进(SAE, System Architecture Evolution )网络。通信网络一般由无线接入网(RAN, Radio Access Network )和核心网 ( CN , Core Network )组成, 不同的通信网络会采用不同 的无线接入技术 ( RAT , Radio Access Technology )进入 CN, 即不同的通信 网络具有不同的 RAN, 例如 3G通信网络的 RAN称为通用陆地无线接入网 ( UTRAN, Universal Terrestrial Radio Access Network ), SAE通信网络的 RAN 称为 E-UTRAN等等。
RAN由 RAN节点组成,例如 UTRAN中的无线网络控制器( RNC , Radio
Network Controller)和基站( NodeB ); CN则是由 CN节点组成, 例如 UTRAN 中的 SGSN (服务 GPRS 支持节点, Serving GPRS Support Node ), 或者 E-UTRAN中的移动性管理实体(MME, Mobility Management Entity )等。 其 中, MME的功能是保存用户设备(UE, User Equipment ) 的移动性管理上下 文(Context ), 筒称 UE的上下文, 如 UE标识, 移动性管理状态、 位置信息 等。
现有技术中,一个 RAN节点可以路由到多个 CN节点, 即 RAN节点可以 为初始接入的 UE选择路由到不同的 CN节点上。 这些 CN节点组成一个池域 ( Pool ), 2G/3G系统中的 Pool内的 CN节点,如 SGSN用网络资源标识 (NRI, Network Resource Identifier )来标识, SAE系统中的 Pool内的 CN节点则是用 全球唯一移动性管理实体标识(GUMMEI )来标识。
当 UE接入到通信网络时, 通信网络会分配给 UE一个临时标识, 例如 2G/3G 系统会分配分组临时用户标识 (P-TMSI , Packet Temporary Mobile Subscriber Identity )/ TMSI给 UE, SAE系统则会分配全球唯一临时标识( GUTI, Global Unique Temporary Identity)给 UE, 其中, GUTI中包括 GUMMEI。 由于 UE会在不同的通信网络中移动, 所以, 在 UE从原通信网络切换到新通信网 络, 或者是从原 CN节点切换到新 CN节点时, 需要通过 NRI/ GUMMEI和 UE的临时标识查找原 CN节点来获取 UE的上下文, 以便可以快速切换。 如 果是不同通信网络间的切换, 由于它们采用的 RAT不一样, 所以当 UE从原 通信网络接入新通信网络时,还需要映射原通信网络的 RAT的标识,即旧 RAT 的标识到新通信网络的 RAT的标识来接入, 这样, 才可能找到原通信网络中 的 CN节点, 才可能获取 UE的上下文。 例如:
具体的, GUTI临时标识的组成为: GUTI = GUMMEI + M-TMSI ; 其中, GUMMEI = PLMN-id + MMEI, PLMN-id = MCC+ MNC; MMEI = MME Goup ID + MMEC ; 因此展开可以得到:
GUTI = MCC + MNC + MME Group ID (16bit) + MMEC (8bit) + M-TMSI (32 bit);
GUMMEI = MCC + MNC + MME Group ID + MMEC;
MMEI = MME Group ID + MMEC;
S-TMSI (40 bit) = MMEC + M-TMSI
当 UE携带 2G/3G的临时标识 P-TMSI/旧 RAI接入 SAE系统时, 需要将 2G/3G的临时标识映射为 GUTI的形式, 参见图 11 , 即将旧 RAI中的移动国 家码( MCC, Mobile Country Code )和移动网络码( MNC, Mobile Network Code ) 分别映射到 GUTI中的 MCC和 MNC中,将区分位置区码( LAC , Location Area Code ) 映射到 GUTI 中的移动性管理实体组标识 ( MMEGI , Mobility Management Entity Group Identity ), 将 NRI映射到 GUTI中的移动性管理实体 编码( MMEC, Mobility Management Entity Code )中, 将 RAC和其他 P-TMSI 内容映射到 GUTI中的 M-TMSL 在实现本发明的过程中, 发明人发现现有技术至少存在以下问题: 由于映射后的 RAT的标识与真正的 RAT的标识有所不同, 因此映射后的
RAT的标识可能无法对应 CN节点,即可能会出现在新通信网络中选择不到新
CN节点的情况。
另外, 由于具有不同的通信网络, 所以如果新 CN 节点不能识别当前的
RAT的标识是真正的 RAT的标识还是映射后的 RAT的标识的话,就不知道采 用何种形式的 RAT向原 CN节点获取 UE上下文,导致可能无法获取 UE上下 文。

具体实施方式 下面结合附图对本发明实施例的具体实施方式做进一步的详细阐述。
实施例一、
本实施例提供了 LAC和 MMEGI的方法, 例如设置 LAC中的 bit位与 MMEGI中对应的 bit位的数值不同, 可以区分 LAC和 MMEGI。 具体的设置 方法, 例如, MMEGI的第一 bit为 1 , LAC的第一 bit为 0, 该 bit称为区分 MMEGI和 LAC的标志位, 当然也可以使用其他 bit作为区分标志位。 这样当 UE通过 3G网络中的 old RAI和 P-TMSI ,或 old RAI和 2G通信网络中的 TLLI , 映射后的 GUTI接入 eNodeB时, eNodeB通过该区分, 了解 UE是否使用真正 的临时标识还是映射的临时标识接入。 例如, eNodeB获取是 SAE分配的临时 标识(如 GUMMEI, S-TMSI或 GUTI ), 还是使用映射后的临时标识, 如上所 述, old RAI和 P-TMSI (或 old RAI和 TLLI )映射后的 GUTI接入。 在 UE携 带映射后的 GUTI接入的情况下, eNodeB选择 NRI映射的 MMEC对应的 MME, 该 MME可以不是 UE原来注册的 MME, 或者, 使用该 NRI映射的 MMEC对应的 MME,且该 MME为空闲状态信令减少( ISR, Idle mode Signaling Reduction )允许的节点或合一节点或为配置的节点时, 则选择该节点。
请参阅图 1 , UE在接入 SAE过程中在无线资源控制协议(RRC, Radio Resource Control )部分携带 GUMMEI信息, 即在 UE发送给 eNodeB的跟踪 区更新请求( TAU Request )消息中的 RRC部分携带 GUMMEI信息, eNodeB 检查 GUMMEI是映射后的 GUMMEI, 还是 SAE分配的 GUMMEI, 如果是 SAE 分配的 GUMMEI , 则 eNodeB 根据 GUMMEI 中的所有信息, MCC+MNC+MMEGI+MMEC , 或 MMEGI+MMEC , 或 selected PLMN+MMEGI+MMEC 来确定 MME , 或者, eNodeB 由于找不到对应 GUMMEI而进行 MME的重选择, 如果存在与 MCC+MNC+MMEGI+MMEC 或 MMEGI+MMEC或 selected PLMN+MMEGI+MMEC对应的 MME, 则选择 该 MME,该 MME的 GUMMEI与 UE携带的 GUMMEI—致或 MMEGI+MMEC 或 selected PLMN+MMEGI+MMEC对应一致。 如果不存在对应的 MME则 eNodeB重新选择 MME。如果 GUMMEI是映射的 GUMMEI, 则 eNodeB根据 GUMMEI 中的 MCC+MNC+MMEC 或者只根据 MMEC 或者 selected PLM+MMEC来确定 MME,具体为,如果存在 MME,该 MME的 MCC、 MNC、 MMEC与 UE携带的 MCC、 MNC、 MMEC (由 NRI映射 )一致或配置可选, 例如: eNodeB配置 MMEC或 NRI对应某 MME, 则选择该 MME, 否则, 重 选择一个 MME。
或者, 如果 UE在接入 SAE过程中, 根据 UE将携带的标识, 如通过 TIN ( Temporary Identity used in Next update, 下次更新需要使用的临时标识 )来识 别将要携带的标识, 如果 TIN="P-TMSr,, 表示下次接入需要携带 P-TMSI/old RAI映射后的标识, 如果 TIN="GUTr, 表示下次接入携带 SAE的标识, 如果 TIN="RAT-related TMSI" ,表示下次接入那个 RAT就用那个 RAT分配的 TMSI。 因此如果 UE 的 TIN="P-TMSr时, UE 可以在 RRC 部分不携带映射后的 GUMMEI接入网络, 而是在 RRC部分携带 S-TMSI (由 MMEC和 M-TMSI 组成, 实际由 NRI和 RAC和部分 P-TMSI映射而成 )接入网络, 这样 eNodeB 不会得到 MMEGI, eNodeB会根据其中的 MMEC(由 NRI映射)来选择 MME。 当然, 如果存在 MOCN, eNodeB除根据 S-TMSI中的 MMEC选择 MME, 还 会根据选择的 PLMN-id ( Selected PLMN-id )信息来选择 MME, 即 eNodeB 根据选择的 PLMN-id和 MMEGI和 MMEC选择移动性管理实体 MME, 具体 为如果 MME的 GUMMEI中的 MCC、 MNC与 UE携带的选择的 PLMN-id 相同,同时 MMEC 和 UE携带的 MMEC相同,则所述网络侧节点选择该 MME。 此外, UE还需要在非接入层 ( NAS , Non Access Stratum )部分携带映射后的 GUTI, 这样 MME才能向 old SGSN获取上下文。
或者, eNodeB配置 LAC列表, 当 eNodeB发现 MMEGI属于该 LAC列 表或该 LAC列表之一, 则选择对应的 MME , 例如当 eNodeB发现 UE携带的 GUMMEI 与配置在 eNodeB 对应的某 MME 的标识一致时, 则选择对应的 MME, 否则, 如果没有对应 MME, 进行新的 MME选择; 其中, 该 MME的 GUMMEI标识实际由 PLMN-id+LAC+NRI映射组成。 例如, SAE的 Pool与 2G/3G的 Pool重叠, 该 Pool存在 MME/SGSN合一节点, 2G/3G的该 Pool下 存在 RAIl , RAI2, RAI3, 三个路由区(RA, Routing Area ), 当 UE从 2G/3G 网络移动到 SAE网络并接入, UE使用 old RAI/P-TMSI映射的 GUTI接入, eNodeB根据配置的信息, 发现 UE使用映射的 GUTI, 并且映射前的 RA属于 RAI1、 RAI2、 RAI3其中之一, 则 eNodeB根据 MCC+MNC+MMEC (由 NRI 映射 )或 MMEC或 selected PLMN+MMEC选择对应 MME即可, 不必 MCC、 MNC、 MMEGL MMEC都一致才选择 MME。 如果没有符合上述情况描述的 对应的 MME, 例如不属于配置的 RAI之一, 则重新选择一个 MME。
其中, eNodeB配置 LAC列表可以采用以下方法。
MME通过 S1配置响应( SI SETUP RESPONSE )消息或 MME 配置更新
( CONFIGURATION UPDATE ) 消息, 将配置的 LAC映射成 GUMMEI发送 给 eNodeB , eNodeB 纪录该 SI SETUP RESPONSE 消息或 MME CONFIGURATION UPDATE消息, 保存至配置信息中, 即 LAC列表中。 下面 将举例进行说明。
例如图 8中, Pooll包括 SGSN Pool和 MME Pool, SGSN1、 SGSN2、 MME1、
MME2 等均为 Pooll 中的节点, Pooll 中还存在 MME/SGSN 合一节点 SGSN3/MME3, 图 8中的 LAC1、 LAC2、 LAC3和 LAC4等则分别是 2G/3G 网络中的位置区码, TA1、 TA2、 TA3和 TA4等则分别是 SAE网络的跟踪区; 其中,从 SAE系统角度来看,合一节点 SGSN3/MME3的 GUMMEI为 PLMN-id ( PLMN Identity, PLMN标识, 其中, PLMN-id为 MCC+MNC ) +MMEGI (即 MME Pool的 id ) +MMEC (即 MME Pool中 MME3的 id ), 为了让注册到该 合一节点的 SGSN, 即 SGSN3上的 UE从 2G/3G区域进入 SAE区域时也能选 择到该合一节点, MME3可以将该 SGSN3 Pool内的所有 LAC也配置到 eNodeB 中, 形成 LAC列表, 方法如下:
针对 Pooll中的每个 LAC, MME3分别形成一个 GUMMEI,该 GUMMEI 对应为 PLMN-id+LAC+NRI (即合一节点配置到 SGSN, 即 SGSN3上的 NRI, 一般和该合一节点配置到 MME上的 MMEC相等;), 因此, MME3可以形成 若干个 GUMMEI。 该 MME3将真正的 GUMMEI ( SAE内的标识 ) 与映射后 的 GUMMEI (有若干个, Pooll中的每个 LAC对应一个 GUMMEI )的列表通 过 SI SETUP RESPONSE消息或 MME CONFIGURATION UPDATE消息发送 给 eNodeB, eNodeB保存该 GUMMEI列表(或者说是 LAC列表, 因为每个 LAC都有着对应的 GUMMEI ) ,从而当注册到 SGSN3的 UE从 Pooll中的 LAC, 例如 LAC1或 LAC2等进入到 E-UTRAN区域, 接入 eNodeB时, 由于 UE接 入携带的标识为 GUMMEI (由 PLMN-id+LACl+NRI映射), 因此该 eNodeB 可以通过查询配置, 即通过查询之前保存的真正的 GUMMEI 和映射后的 GUMMEI的列表, 得知该 GUMMEI对应 MME3, 然后直接选择该 MME3节 点。
以上配置方法存在的缺点在于, 由于合一节点和 ISR需求, 一个 MME可 能会存在大量的映射 GUMMEI, 因为 MME对 Pool内的每个 LAC都会对应 地形成一个 MMEGI, 甚至 MME还会为相邻 SGSN Pool内的每个 LAC也分 别配置一个 MMEGI以满足 ISR的需求, 因此,在 SI SETUP RESPONSE消息 或 MME CONFIGURATION UPDATE消息中,可能需要携带大量的 GUMMEL 目前 SI SETUP RESPONSE消息和 MME CONFIGURATION UPDATE消 息是通过下面方法来携带 GUMMEI列表的, 参见表一, 其中, 为了描述方便, 表中省略了其他信元。
Figure imgf000012_0001
Figure imgf000012_0002
如表一所示, SI SETUP RESPONSE 消息或 MME CONFIGURATION
UPDATE消息中会携带完整的 GUMMEI列表, 即服务 GUMMEI列表。 另夕卜, 当 SGSN Pool增加 /删除 /修改 LAC时, MME都会通过 MME CONFIGURATION UPDATE消息将所有的 GUMMEI列表重新发送给每个 eNodeB。由于 GUMMEI 列表较大,而且 eNodeB数量较多,所以必然会引起较多的信息在网络中传送, 增加网络中的信令流量, 即加重了网络的开销。 例如, 如果一个 Pool 中存在 10个 MME, 200个 eNodeB, 那么, 当相关的 LAC发生变动时, 则需要每个 MME向每个 eNodeB发送 MME CONFIGURATION UPDATE消息, 这也就意 味着将会有 2000个 CONFIGURATION UPDATE消息在 S1接口上传送,并且, 每个消息中都包含所有的 GUMMEI 列表(更新的和未更新的都需要发送)。 为了避免该情况, 本发明实施例还可以采用如下的配置方法。
( 1 ) 为了减小 SI SETUP RESPONSE消息或 MME CONFIGURATION UPDATE消息等配置消息的大小, 使得 SI SETUP RESPONSE消息或 MME CONFIGURATION UPDATE消息等配置消息中无需携带大量的 GUMMEI列 表, 可以将 GUMMEI进行分解, 然后对 GUMMEI的各组成部分分别形成的 列表进行发送, 即 MME发送的关于 LAC列表的配置消息给 eNodeB, 所述关 于 LAC列表的配置消息中携带 PLMN-id列表、 MMEGI列表和 MMEC列表, 具体如下:
由于针对 Pool中的每个 LAC , MME都会形成一个相应的 GUMMEI , 所 以, eNodeB配置 LAC列表实际上也可以看成是,在 eNodeB上配置 GUMMEI 列表, 由于 GUMMEI由 PLMN-id+MMEGI+MMEC组成,所以如果 GUMMEI 是通过映射方法形成, 则 GUMMEI实际上的值为 PLMN-id+LAC+NRI。 一般 来讲 MMEC和 NRI的值是相同,而 PLMN-id的值也是相同的,因此, GUMMEI list 中存在大量相同内容。 由此, 如表二所示, 可以将 GUMMEI 列表改为 PLMN-id ( 即表中的 PLMN Identity ) /PLMN-id list+ MMEGI list + MMEC/MMEC list的形式,其中, PLMN-id list指的是 PLMN-id列表, MMEGI list指的是 MMEG列表, MMEC list MMEC列表;
Figure imgf000013_0001
Figure imgf000013_0002
通常情况下, GUMMEI列表中的 PLMN-id和 MMEC的值是相同的, 只 有 MMEGI的值是不同的, 因此将 GUMMEI列表改成 PLMN-id + MMEGI list + MMEC的形式进行发送能够节省大量重复的 PLMN-id和 MMEC的发送,当 然在支持多 PLMN的情况下, PLMN-id还能可以改为 PLMN-id list, 同理, MMEC也可以改为 MMEC list方式。 当 eNodeB收到该更改后的列表后,保存 并自行根据表中的 PLMN-id、 MMEGI list 以及 MMEC 等信息组合成 GUMMEI列表, 由此完成对 LAC列表的配置。 例如, PLMN-id目前是 3个 byte, MMEGI是 2个 byte, MMEC是 1个 byte。如果一个 MME Pool支持 3个 PLMN, MME Pool需要配置 100个 MMEGI 和一个 MMEC,其中, 100个 MMEGI中包括 1个真正的 MMEGI和 99个 LAC 映射后的 MMEGI )。 那么如果按原来的配置方法, GUMMEI list的大小是: 3*100* ( 3+2+1 ) =1800 byte。而用本方法,现在的 GUMMEI list由 PLMN-id list 和 MMEGI list和 MMEC list组成, 占用的大小为: 3*3 (PLMN-list ) +100 * 2 (MMEGI list) + 1 *1 (MMEC list) = 210 byte。 可以看出, 现有的 GUMMEI list 占用空间大大减少。
方法( 2 )为了解决当 LAC或 GUMMEI发生变动时, MME需要向 eNodeB 发送所有 GUMMEI列表而引起过多的信息在网络中传送的问题, 本发明实施 例提出, 当 LAC或 GUMMEI变动时, MME向 eNodeB发送指示消息, 所述 指示消息指示 eNodeB添加 /修^删除 LAC列表中的 GUMMEI,例如在 MME 向 eNodeB发送的 MME CONFIGURATION UPDATE消息中携带一个指示,在 指示中表明 LAC或 GUMMEI的变动情况, 即是添加一个或几个 GUMMEI还 是修改了 GUMMEI 还是删除了 GUMMEI 等等。 修改后的 MME CONFIGURATION UPDATE消息可以 三;

当然, 也可以直接在消息中指示添加、 或删除、 或修改 GUMMEI, 而不 当 MME需要添加一个 GUMMEI时,则可以发送 MME CONFIGURATION UPDATE ( new GUMMEI, behavior='add' ) 消息给 eNodeB , 其中, " new GUMMEI"表示需要添加的 GUMMEI的标识(ID, Identity ), "behavior='add',, 则是表示需要在原有的 LAC列表中添加 GUMMEI, "behavior"是一种信息元 素 (IE, Information Element ), 它的值表明具体的动作, 这样, 当 eNodeB收 到该 MME CONFIGURATION UPDATE ( new GUMMEI, behavior='add' ) 消息 后, 就在原有 LAC列表中添加一个 GUMMEI;
当 MME要删除一个 GUMMEI时, 则可以发送 MME CONFIGURATION
UPDATE ( GUMMEI, behavior='ddete' ) 消息给 eNodeB, 其中, "GUMMEI" 表示要删除原有的 LAC列表中的 GUMMEI的 ID, "behavior='delete',,表示需 要删除 GUMMEI, 当 eNodeB接收到该消息后, 根据该消息在原有的 LAC列 表中删除相应的 GUMMEI ;
当 MME要爹改一个 GUMMEI时, 则可以发送 MME CONFIGURATION UPDATE ( new GUMMEI, GUMMEI, behavior='modify' )消息给 eNodeB,其中, " behavior='modify' " 表示需要修改原有的 LAC 列表中的 GUMMEI , "GUMMEI" 表示需要修改的 GUMMEI的 ID, "new GUMMEI" 则是表示需 要改成的 GUMMEI的 ID, 即 "GUMMEI" 在原有的 LAC列表中所对应的 GUMMEI的 ID要改为 "new GUMMEI"。
当然, 也可以不携带 " behavior " 这样的 IE , 例如可以通过 "updated GUMMEI"和' 'new GUMMEI"来表明动作, 即 "更新 GUMMEI" 和 "新的 GUMMEI" , 其中, "updated GUMMEI"表示要更新原来的 GUMMEI, new GUMMEI表示需要添加新的 GUMMEI; 这样, 如果 updated GUMMEI没有值 或没有被携带, 而 new GUMMEI=5, 则表示要添加一个 id为 5的 GUMMEI; 如果 updated GUMMEI=5 , 而 new GUMMEI没有值或没有被携带, 表示将删 除 id为 5的那个 GUMMEI; 如果 updated GUMMEI=5, 而 new GUMMEI=10, 表示要修改 GUMMEI等于 5的那个 GUMMEI改为 10。
( 3 ) 当然, 为了进一步减少当 LAC或 GUMMEI发生变动时, MME发 送给 eNodeB的消息的数量, 减少 MME和 eNodeB之间的信令流量, 还可以 采取另一种方法, 如下:
将所有的配置信息都集中在一个预置的中心节点上,该中心节点可以是预 置的 eNodeB, 也可以是预置的 MME等等, 该中心节点具有所有 MME配置 信息, 若某个 MME的配置信息发生改变, 则由该中心节点向所有的 eNodeB 发送配置消 息, 比如发送 SI SETUP RESPONSE 消息或 MME CONFIGURATION UPDATE消息。 因此, 当该中心节点需要向 eNodeB发送 配置信息时, 将发送所有 MME的配置信息。 比如 SI SETUP RESPONSE消息 或 MME CONFIGURATION UPDATE消息中的 GUMMEI list不是一个 MME 的 GUMMEI list, 而是所有 MME的 GUMME list, 当然, 为了实现该方法, 需要对 SI SETUP REPONSE消息进行修改, 爹改后的 SI SETUP REPONSE 消息如表四所示;
表四: IE/Group Name Presence Range
(信息元素名称) (是否可选) (范围)
Message Type (消息类型 ) M (必选 )
GUMMEI ( MMEI列表, 以 1.. <maxnoofMMEper MME GUMMEI为索引 ) Pool>
( 1到 Pool内 MME最大个数 )
> MME Name ( MME名称 ) M (必选 )
> Mapped GUMMEI list
( GUMMEI列表)
> Relative MME Capacity M (必选 )
( MME相对能力 )
Criticality Diagnostics (诊断 ) 0 (可选)
表中的 "GUMMEI" 是每个 MME真正的 GUMMEI, 每个 MME只有一 个真正的 GUMMEI, 在此不考虑映射后的 GUMMEI, MME使用该真正的 GUMMEI作为唯一标识, 将所有的 MME的信息集中在一起, 形成 MME list , 该 MME list中的每个 MME都具有一些具体配置信息, 比如 MME的名字, 能力, 还有映射的 GUMMEI list等等, 其中, GUMMEI list可能是( PLMN-id + MMEGI + MMEC) list, 也可能是 PLMN-id list + MMEGI list + MMEC list, 也可能不存在该映射的 GUMMEI list。
总之, 就是由该中心节点通过一条配置消息向 Pool内的 eNodeB提供该 MME Pool中所有 MME的配置信息,这样,当 LAC或 GUMMEI发生变动时, 就只需要该中心节点向每个 eNodeB 发送一个 MME CONFIGURATION UPDATE消息即可, 无需每个 MME向每个 eNodeB发送, 从而减少了网络中 传送的消息的数量。例如 MME Pool存在 10个 MME, 200个 eNodeB,当 LAC 发生变动时, 就只需要该中心节点向 200个 eNodeB发一个总的关于配置发生 变动的配置消息, 消息数量只有 200个, 当然, 在此之前, MME可能还需要 向该中心节点发送自身的配置消息。
以上(1 ) ( 2 ) ( 3 )三种方法可以独立使用, 也可以结合使用, 当然, 结 合使用会更加优化, 如(1 )方法和(2 )方法结合, 那么, 当有 10个 LAC被 添加时, MME就只需更新这 10个 LAC的信息, 然后发送 PLMN-id list + 10 个 LAC映射后的 MMEGI + MMEC给 eNodeB,在不支持多个运营商的核心网 节点的情况下,该发送给 eNodeB的消息的大小就只有 3+20+1=24 byte。否贝,J , 如果只使用 (1 )方法, 虽然消息的大小减小了, 但消息的数量还是没有改变, 即还是需要发送所有 GUMMEI信息(包括未更新的)给 eNodeB; 如果只使 用 (2 ) 方法, 虽然消息的数量有所减少, 但是消息的大小仍为 6*10=60byte, 显然比上述将(1 )方法和(2 )方法结合后的消息的大小, 即 "24 byte" 大许 多。 当然(3 )方法也可以和(1 )方法或(2 )方法结合, 甚至全部结合起来, 在此不再赘述。
需说明的是, 本实施例是以网络侧节点是 eNodeB为例进行说明的, 所述 网络侧节点也可以为所述中心节点, 也就是说, 本实施例中 eNodeB所执行的 操作也可以由该中心节点来完成,例如该中心节点也可以作为选择 CN节点的 节点, 即, 该中心节点与每个 eNodeB相连, 当 UE接入 eNodeB时, eNodeB 不选择 CN节点, 而是把消息发送到该中心节点, 由该中心节点来选择 CN节 点, 例如 MME。 这样, 就只需要将 MME的配置信息配置到该中心节点即可, 而不需要发送到 eNodeB,也就是说,每个 MME在 S1建立或配置信息改变时, 即 LAC或 GUMMEI发生变动时, 只需要和该中心节点进行信息交互即可。 例如 MME Pool存在 10个 MME, 200个 eNodeB, 当 LAC发生改变时, 10 个 MME只需要向该中心节点发送关于配置发生变动的配置消息,消息数量只 有 10个, 而不需要向 200个 eNodeB发送关于配置发生变动的配置消息, 大 大减少了网络中信息传送的数量。
实施例一的有益效果: 实施例一通过对于 UE接入时的标识进行区分, 获 取 UE标识的信息, 确认该信息是网络分配的信息还是网络对该 UE的信息映 射后的信息, 并根据上述区分, 为 UE选择合适的网络节点, 避免了 UE由于 改变 RAT而无法接入到对应 CN节点。
实施例二、
实施例一所描述的方法都是当 UE携带 2G/3G标识接入 SAE/LTE网络时, 按照 UE当前驻扎的小区不处于注册的跟踪区(TA, Tracking Area ) 中的情况 进行接入的, 在实施例一所描述的方法中, 如果 UE当前驻扎的小区处于注册 的 TA中, 则在 RRC连接建立完成( RRC Connection Setup Complete )消息中 的 NAS部分, 例如 TAU Request消息的 NAS部分(以下均称 RRC连接建立 完成消息的 NAS部分为 NAS消息)可以不携带 UE标识(UE-id ), 如 GUTI 或 P-TMSI或 IMSI等信息, 即 UE可以根据当前接入的 TA是否在自身的 TA 列表( TA list ) 内来决定在 NAS消息中是否携带 UE标识。
也就是说, 若 NAS消息中携带 UE标识, 一般则认为 UE当前驻扎的小 区不处于注册的 TA中, 而实际上, 如果在 NAS消息中携带 UE标识, 那么也 可以按照 UE当前驻扎的小区处于注册的 TA中的情况进行接入, 比如当 UE 携带 2G/3G 网络的标识接入 SAE/LTE 网络时的 NAS 消息只能是附着请求 ( Attach Request ) 消息或跟踪区更新请求( TAU Request ) 消息, 那么, 只要 这两个消息总是携带 UE标识, 则即使选择的 MME没有 UE上下文, 该选择 的 MME也可以通过 UE标识找到旧节点获取 UE上下文, 或者向 HSS获取 UE上下文。 为此, 本实施例提供了另一种接入方法。
为了描述方便, 以下将把 UE当前驻扎的小区不处于注册的 TA中这种情 况称为 TA not registered case,反之,若 UE当前驻扎的小区处于注册的 TA中, 则称为 TA registered case。 需说明的是, 为了更好地描述本实施例所提供的技 术方案, 以下将对 TA registered case和 TA not registered case技术作筒单地介 绍, TA Registered case和 TA not registered case是 UE携带 SAE分配的标识接 入 SAE时的技术。
当 UE进入一个 SAE Pool并使用 SAE分配的临时标识发起接入时, UE 判断当前接入的小区是否属于 UE的注册区域, 即 UE检测自身当前驻扎的小 区是否处于注册的 TA中, 若是, 则空闲 (idle )模式的 UE接入 SAE/LTE网 络发起的 RRC连接建立请求( RRC Connection Request )消息中携带 S-TMSI, 由于在这种情况下 UE—定没有移动出原来的 Pool区域, 因此, eNodeB可以 通过 S-TMSI中的 MMEC直接选择到原来的 MME (在 MOCN情况下, 还要 根据 UE携带的选择的 PLMN-id信息结合来选择 MME ), 在接收到 eNodeB 返回的携带有 S-TMSI的 RRC连接建立消息后, 为了减小消息的大小, 节省 占用的带宽, 在随后 UE发送给 eNodeB的 RRC连接建立完成消息中的 NAS 消息里可以不携带 UE标识,在 RRC连接建立完成消息中的 RRC部分也不携 带 GUMMEI, 在 eNodeB选择了 MME后, eNodeB发送初始 UE消息给选择 到的 MME, 然后 MME根据 S-TMSI获取 UE的上下文, 其中, 初始 UE消息 包括 UE发起的 RRC连接建立请求中的 S-TMSI以及 RRC连接建立完成消息 中的 NAS消息等信息; 若否, 即 UE检测自身当前驻扎的小区不处于注册的 TA中时, 则空闲 idle模式的 UE接入 SAE/LTE网络发起的 RRC连接建立请 求消息中携带一个随机数 ( Random ID ) , 然后接收 eNodeB返回的携带有随机 数的 RRC连接建立消息, 由于在这种情况下 UE可能移动出原来的 Pool区域 也可能没有移动出原来的 Pool区域, 所以之后 UE在发送给 eNodeB的 RRC 连接建立完成消息中的 NAS消息里需要携带 UE的标识, 同时在 RRC连接建 立完成消息中的 RRC部分携带 GUMMEI,这样 eNodeB就可以通过 GUMMEI 来查找对应的 MME (在 MOCN情况下, eNodeB是根据 UE携带的选择的 PLMN-id和 GUMMEI中的 MME Group ID和 MMEC来选择 MME的;), 如果 存在对应的 MME (原来的 MME ), 则直接选择到原来的 MME, 如果不存在 对应的 MME,则说明 UE已经更换了 Pool,那么 eNodeB选择一个新的 MME, 然后再发送初始 UE消息给选择到的 MME, 由该选择到的 MME获取 UE的 上下文, 其中, 初始 UE消息包括 NAS消息等信息。 可参见图 9和图 10, 图 9为 UE使用 TA registered case接入 SAE/LTE网络的方法流程图,图 10为 UE 使用 TA not registered case接入 SAE/LTE网络的方法流程图。
本实施例提供的接入方法是: 当 UE携带 2G/3G的标识接入 SAE系统, UE首先将 2G/3G的标识映射为 SAE的标识格式, 然后按照 TA registered case 进行接入, 即 UE在发起的 RRC连接建立请求( RRC Connection Request ) 消 息中携带映射的 S-TMSI, 而在随后的 RRC 连接建立完成消息中的 RRC部分 不携带 GUMMEL 而在 RRC连接建立完成消息中的 NAS消息里可以总是携 带 UE标识, 这时 eNodeB可以在向 MME发送的初始 UE消息(第一条 Initial UE Message ) 中不携带 S-TMSL 也可以是, UE判断当前接入的小区是否处 于注册的 TA中,如果是, 则在 RRC 连接建立完成消息中的 NAS消息里总是 不携带 UE标识, 如果否, 则在 RRC连接建立完成消息中的 NAS消息里携带 UE标识。
当然, 在 UE接入系统架构演进网络 SAE前, UE也可以对接入时使用的 UE标识是 SAE分配的还是映射的进行判断, 如果所述 UE标识是映射的, 才 执行以上方法所述的动作,即执行 UE在发送给 eNodeB的 RRC连接建立请求 消息中携带映射的 S-TMSI,在发送给 eNodeB的 RRC连接建立完成消息中不 携带 GUMMEI的步骤; 否则, 如果所述 UE标识是 SAE分配的, 则判断 UE 接入的区域是否属于 UE的注册区域,若 UE接入的区域属于 UE的注册区域, 则执行 TA registered case接入, 若 UE接入的区域不属于 UE的注册区域, 则 执行 TA not registered case接入,可参见本实施例中 TA registered case和 TA not registered case的相关描述, 在此不再累赘。
需说明的是, 由于 eNodeB 需要区分 RRC 连接建立请求消息携带的是 S-TMSI还是随机数, 因此需要定义一个标识在 S-TMSI和随机数中, 比如将 该标识命名为 Distinguishing Mark, 定义其大小为 8bit, 若 8bit上的数全为 1 , 则确定 RRC连接建立请求消息携带的是随机数, 若 8bit上的数不全为 1 , 则 确定 RRC连接建立请求消息携带的是 S-TMSL 该 Distinguishing Mark位于 S-TMSI的 MMEC部分以及随机数的前 8bit。
由于 UE携带映射的标识接入 SAE时, S-TMSI中的 MMEC部分是由 NRI 映射而来, 而 NRI可能是全 1的, 这样 eNodeB会误认为收到的是随机数, 因 此, 需要定义 NRI不能为全 1。
当然, UE也可以不需要对当前接入的小区是否属于 UE的注册区域进行 判断, 或者不需要对自身携带的 UE标识是 SAE分配的还是映射的进行判断, 而是总是使用 TA Registered Case, 即在发送给 eNodeB的 RRC连接建立请求 消息中总是携带 S-TMSI, 然后无论在何种情况下,在 RRC连接建立完成消息 中的 NAS消息总是携带 UE标识, 而且在 RRC连接建立请求消息中携带的 S-TMSI只是用来供 eNodeB选择 MME,而不必在随后的 S1接口上将 S-TMSI 带上, 即 eNodeB向 MME发送的初始 UE消息中不携带 S-TMSI信息, 从而 可以减小消息的流量大小, 节省占用的带宽, 但是, 该方法的不足在于, 当 UE更换 Pool时, 如果新的 Pool也存在相同编号的 MMEC, 则 eNodeB直接 在新的 Pool中选择该具有相同编号的 MMEC所对应的 MME, 而不会通过负 载均衡(Load Balancing )等原则选择一个新的 MME。 或者, 也可以总是使用 TA not registered case接入 SAE/LTE网络, 即 UE在发送给 eNodeB的 RRC连 接建立请求消息中总是携带随机数, 在随后的 RRC连接建立完成消息的 RRC 部分携带 GUMMEI, 在 RRC连接建立完成消息的 NAS消息中携带 UE标识, 但这样 UE发起服务请求(Service Request ) 的过程不会太快, 因为服务请求 消息一般会限制长度, 以便尽快地发起接入。
需说明是, 以上只是以 RAN节点为 eNodeB , CN节点为 MME为例进行 说明, 该 RAN节点还可以为与 eNodeB具有类似功能的其它设备, CN节点也 可以为具有与 MME具有类似功能的其它设备。
实施例二的有益效果: 实施例二通过 UE发起的 RRC连接建立请求消息 中携带 S-TMSI, 然后通过 S-TMSI为 UE选择合适的 CN节点, 避免了 UE由 于改变 RAT而无法接入到对应 CN节点的情况, 与此同时, 本实施例通过在 RRC连接建立完成消息中不携带 GUMMEI等方法, 减小了消息的流量大小, 节省占用的带宽。
实施例三、
本实施例通过设置区分 LAC和 MMEGI, 例如设置 LAC 中的 bit位与 MMEGI中对应的 bit位的数值不同, 可以区分 LAC和 MMEGL 本实施例提 出当 UE通过 GUTI接入 MME, 具体接入方式可包括附着 attach或 TAIL 如 果 MME存在 UE上下文( UE Context ), 则 MME通过 GUTI找到 UE, 否则, MME通过 GUTI 中的 GUMMEI查到 old MME, 例如可通过域名解析系统 ( DNS, Domain Name System ) 查找 old MME, 并向 old MME发送上下文请 求 ( Context Request ) , 该上下文请求中包含 GUTI 或发送标识请求 ( Identification Request ), 该标识请求包含 GUTI, old MME通过 GUTI找到 UE Context, 返回 UE Context或 UE的 IMSI信息等给 MME。 而当 UE通过 old RAI/P-TMSI或 TLLI映射后的 GUTI接入 MME, MME或 DNS需要根据 网络为 UE分配的 GUTI——例如 SAE为 UE分配的 GUTI——与映射的 GUTI 的区分。如获知 GUTI为映射的 GUTI,则还原 GUTI为 old RAI/P-TMSI或 2G 网络的 TLLI/old RAI (如果 old SGSN是 2G SGSN )„ 通过 old RAI或者通过 old RAI和 NRI找到 old SGSN,向 old SGSN发送 Context Request ,该 Context Request 包含 old RAI, P-TMSI 或 TLLI , 或发送验证请求 (Identification Request ), 该 Identification Request包含 old RAI, P-TMSI或 TLLI。 old SGSN 通过 old RAI和 P-TMSI,或者 old GGSN通过 TLLI找到 UE context,返回 UE Context或 UE的 IMSI信息给 MME。
请参阅图 2, UE发送跟踪区更新请求, 即 TAU Request消息到 MME, 该 TAU Request消息包含 GUTI, MME检查 GUTI是真正 GUTI, 即 SAE网络侧 分配给 UE的真正 GUTI, 还是映射后的 GUTI, 如果是真正 GUTI, 则 MME 向 old MME发送 Context Request,该 Context Request携带( GUTI , complete TAU Request message )来向 old MME获取上下文, old MME通过 GUTI查找 UE Context, complete TAU Request message是 UE发送的 TAU Request消息, 如 果该消息有完整性保护, 则携带该消息给 old MME, 用以 old MME来检查完 整性保护, 如果验证成功, 则返回 UE上下文给 new MME。 如果 MME检查 GUTI是映射后的 GUTI,则 MME向 old SGSN发送 Context Request ( old RAI, P-TMSI or TLLI ), old SGSN根据 old RAI和 P-TMSI或 TLLI查找 UE Context。
其中, 关于安全完整性保护问题, 当 UE通过映射后的 GUTI接入 SAE 系统时, 可以采用以下几种方式:
1.由于 old SGSN没有 SAE的完整性保护参数,因此 MME可以根据 GUTI 是映射后 GUTI不发送 TAU Request消息给 old SGSN。
或者
2. MME不管 GUTI是否是映射后的标识, 始终给 old节点, 如 old SGSN 发送 TAU Request消息要求验证, 但是 old SGSN不对该消息进行验证, 返回 没有验证成功或没有验证的信息给 MME, 使得 MME执行安全相关过程, 如 果 MME中没有 UE上下文, 例如附带全球唯一临时标识( Additional GUTI ) 指示的是其他 MME, 可以由其他 MME执行安全相关过程, 或者 MME根据 Additional GUTI找到自身保存的 UE上下文, 对 UE进行安全验证, 或者, MME向 UE发起安全认证过程。
或者
3. UE携带 Additional GUTI正好指示 UE在接入的 MME有 UE上下文, 则接入的 MME对 UE进行安全验证, 如果通过安全 ^ 证, 则向 old SGSN发 送的 Context Request或 Identification Request中携带 UE已验证的信息。
或者 4.如果 Additional GUTI指示到其他 MME, 则新的 MME向 Additional GUTI指示的 MME获取安全上下文, 新的 MME根据获取的安全信息对 UE 进行验证; 或者 new MME将附着请求( Attach Request ) 消息或 TAU Request 消息发给 Additional GUTI指示的 MME进行验证。
或者
5.如果 UE携带映射后的 GUTI接入时, UE不对 TAU Request消息或 Attach Request消息等消息进行完整性保护。
或者
6. 如果 UE携带映射后的 GUTI接入时, UE携带 SGSN给它分配的 P-TMSI Signature字段, 发给网络, MME收到后, 将 P-TMSI Signature字段发 给 old SGSN进行 UE的验证。 即如果 UE携带 old RAI/P-TMSI或 TLLI映射 的 GUTI接入 SAE,则 UE携带 P-TMSI Signature信元,并且 MME向 old SGSN 发送的 Context Request消息也携带 P-TMSI Signature信元, 请求 old SGSN对 UE进行验证。
以上安全问题同样可以应用到下面的 UE携带映射后的 GUTI接入 SAE 系统的实施例中或 UE携带映射后的 old RAI/P-TMSI (或 TLLI ) /P-TMSI Signature接入 2G/3G的实施例中 ( MME和 SGSN需要调换位置)。
实施例四、
与实施例三的不同之处在于, MME 直接对 GUTI 进行映射。 本实施例 MME将 GUTI映射或还原为 old RAI/P-TMSI (或 TLLI ) /P-TMSI Signature或 old RAI/P-TMSI, 或者其中的 P-TMSI 也可以为 TLLI 的形式, 通过 old RAI/P-TMSI (或 TLLI ) /P-TMSI Signature的形式向 old实体, 例如 old MME 或者 old SGSN获取上下文,如果是 old MME时, old MME将 old RAI/P-TMSI 映射或还原为 GUTI获取 UE Context; 如果是 old SGSN, old SGSN直接根据 old RAI/P-TMSI (或 TLLI ), P-TMSI Signature找到 UE Context, 可参见图 3。
实施例五、
与实施例三的不同之处在于, 本实施例中, 判断是映射的 GUTI之后, 根 据对应的 old SGSN是 S4 SGSN还是 Gn/Gp SGSN, 进行不同的操作。 本实施 例通过接入节点了解 old节点是 MME/S4-SGSN还是 Gn/Gp SGSN来进行不同 操作。 如当 UE通过 old RAI/P-TMSI映射后的 GUTI接入 MME, 具体接入方 式可以是 Attach (附着)或 TAU方式。 如果 MME获知 old SGSN是支持 S4 的 SGSN, 例如根据查询 DNS , 或者根据其接口为基于 GTP-v2的接口来获知 old SGSN是支持 S4的 SGSN,那么 MME向 old SGSN发送 Context Request , 该 Context Request GUTI 包含 GUTI , 或发送 Identification Request , 该 Identification Request包含 GUTI, 由 old SGSN根据 GUTI的区分, 还原 GUTI 为 old RAI, P-TMSI, 或者还原为 old RAI, P-TMSI TLLI , 通过 old RAI和 P-TMSI, 或者 old RAI和 /或 TLLI找到 UE context, 返回 UE Context或 IMSI 等给 MME; 如果 MME获知 old SGSN是支持 Gn/Gp的 SGSN, 例如根据查 询 DNS ,或者根据其接口为基于 GTP-vl或 νθ的接口来获知 old SGSN是支持 Gn/Gp的 SGSN,如 3GPP R8版本定义之前的 SGSNPre-R8 SGSN,那么 MME 还原 old RAI/P-TMSI (或 TLLI ),向 old SGSN发送 SGSN Context Request (old RAI, P-TMSI或 TLLI)或 Identification Request ( old RAI, P-TMSI或 TLLI ), old SGSN通过 old RAI和 P-TMSI (或 TLLI )找到 UE context, 返回给 MME。
请参阅图 4, 如果 UE在 SAE Attach时, UE的下次更新使用的临时标识
( TIN, Temporary Identity used in Next update )设置为 P-TMSI或 TLLI或 UE 上次在 2G/3G去附着 Detach使用的临时标识, UE需要使用 old RAI/P-TMSI, 其中 P-TMSI也可以为 TLLI映射后的 GUTI接入 SAE; MME收到该映射的 GUTI ,可以直接还原成 old RAI/P-TMSK或 TLLI )或者看 old SGSN是 S4 SGSN 还是 Gn/Gp SGSN, 如果 old SGSN是 S4 SGSN, UE可以通过 Identification Request ( GUTI, complete Attach Request message ) 向 S4 SGSN获取 IMSI和 上下文等, S4 SGSN将 GUTI还原为 old RAI/P-TMSI (或 TLLI )找到 UE上 下文并返回 IMSI等。如果 old SGSN是 Gn/Gp SGSN, MME使用还原后的 old RAI/P-TMSI (或 TLLI ) 向 old SGSN获取信息, 通过标识请求 Identification Request, 该标识请求中携带 old RAI/P-TMSI (或 TLLI )。 当然, 如果有接入 RAT分配的临时标识存在的话, UE在 Attach时也可使用接入 RAT分配的临 时标识, 而不管 TIN的指示, 如果没有接入 RAT的临时标识则使用另一 RAT 的临时标识, 或者如果各 RAT的临时标识都没有, 则使用 IMSI接入。 如果 GUTI是真正的 GUTI , 那么 Identification Request消息中可能要携带从 UE带 上来的完整的 Attach Request消息,用于 old MME进行完整性保护验证,如果 MME发现 GUTI是映射的 GUTI, 那么 MME不需要携带该 Attach Request消 息在发给 SGSN的 Identification Request消息中, 并且需要对 UE进行安全验 证。
关于安全相关问题, 如果 UE 携带的 Additional GUTI 或 Additional
RAI/P-TMSI指示 UE在本地存在上下文, 则 UE在本地进行完整性保护验证 等安全过程, 这样, 接入实体, 例如 MME或 SGSN, 就不需要向 TIN指示的 旧实体, 例如 old MME或 old SGSN, 要求进行完整性保护验证等, 而且如果 UE在本地已进行了完整性保护验证, 则接入实体在 Context Request 中携带 UE已验证信息, 旧实体就不必对 UE进行验证。 否则如果 UE在本地接入实 体没有 UE上下文, 当 TIN指示的旧实体与接入实体是同一 RAT, 那么接入 实体可以要求旧实体对 UE进行完整性保护验证, 例如接入实体将 UE发送的 消息发送给旧实体, 旧实体进行验证。 否则接入实体可以不要求旧实体对 UE 进行安全过程, 例如接入实体不将 UE发送的消息发送给旧实体, 或者, 接入 实体要求旧实体对 UE进行安全过程, 但如果旧实体无法验证 (如旧实体与接 入实体不是同一 RAT ), 则旧实体返回验证未通过或未完成验证等信息, 要求 接入实体自行对 UE进行验证。 此外, 如果 UE的 TIN指示的是 "P-TMSI"或
"TLLI" , 贝' J UE在 Attach或 TAU/RAU接入时需要携带 P-TMSI Signature, 用以进行 UE的安全验证, 即接入实体带给旧实体对 UE进行验证, 否则如果 UE 的 TIN指示的是 "GUTI" , 则 UE在接入 2G/3G 时需要携带 P-TMSI Signature, 因为 GUTI需要有部分信息映射到 P-TMSI Signature。
实施例六、
与实施例三的不同之处在于,实施例三中, UE通过 GUTI接入的是 MME, 在本实施例中, UE携带 old RAI/P-TMSI/P-TMSI Signature接入的是 SGSN, 其中 P-TMSI也可是 TLLI。 当 UE携带 old RAI/P-TMSI (或 TLLI ) /P-TMSI Signature接入 SGSN, SGSN或 DNS根据真正 old RAI/P-TMSI (或 TLLI ) /P-TMSI Signature与映射后的标识的不同——如 MMEGI与 LAC的 lbit不同 ——查到 old MME或 old SGSN。 SGSN可以始终通过 old RAI/P-TMSI/P-TMSI Signature形式向 old实体获取上下文,如果 old实体是 MME, SGSN向 old MME 发送 SGSN Context Request ,该 Context Request 包含 old RAI, P-TMSI/TLLI, P-TMSI Signature, old MME恢复 GUTI, 找到 UE Context, 返回 UE Context , 才艮据接口或 Context Request内容返回 EPS Context或 2G/3G Context„
请参阅图 5, UE通过发送 RAU请求消息,即通过 old RAI, P-TMSI/TLLI, P-TMSI Signature接入 SGSN, 如果 UE使用的是 GUTI映射的 old RAI, P-TMSI/TLLI, P-TMSI Signature接入,那么 SGSN找到 old MME地址,向 old MME发送 Context Request, 该 Context Request携带( old RAI, P-TMSI/TLLI, P-TMSI Signature ) 消息, old MME根据 old RAI, P-TMSI/TLLI, P-TMSI Signature还原 GUTI,找到 UE上下文并返回 UE Context。此外,由于 old MME 没有 P-TMSI Signature信息, 因此, 对 UE进行验证可以采用以下方法:
1. Old MME在返回的 Context Response中携带 UE安全未验证信息,例如 携带 'P-TMSI Signature mismatch'的 Cause值, 使得 SGSN重新验证 UE。
2. 或者, 如果 SGSN没有 UE上下文且 SGSN了解 TIN指示的 old RAI, P-TMSI/TLLI, P-TMSI Signature对应的 old节点是 old MME, 则 SGSN总会 对 UE进行验证,并且向 old MME发送的 Context Request携带 "MS Validated" 信息,表示 UE已通过验证。如果 SGSN有 UE上下文,其中,可通过 Additional RAI/P-TMSI找到 UE Context, 则 SGSN先行验证 UE, 如果险证成功, 则向 old MME发送的 Context Request携带 "MS Validated" 信息, 表示 UE已通过 验证。
实施例七、
与实施例六的不同之处在于, 实施例六中, 由 old MME 将 old RAI/P-TMSI/P-TMSI Signature还原成 GUTI, 其中 P-TMSI可以是 TLLI。在本 实施例中, 旧实体为 old MME时, 由 SGSN将 old RAI/P-TMSI (或 TLLI ) /P-TMSI Signature还原成 GUTI。 请参阅图 6, SGSN了解 old实体是 MME还 是 SGSN, 如果 old 实体是 MME, 则 S4 SGSN恢复 GUTI, 向 old MME发 送 Context Request (GUTI ) , old MME根据 GUTI找到 UE Context, 返回 UE Context o
安全问题同实施例三至六, 如果 SGSN本地有 UE上下文, 验证 P-TMSI Signature, 如果没有 UE上下文并且发现 old实体对应 MME, 则 SGSN总向 UE发起安全过程, 并且 SGSN还原 GUTI, 向 old MME请求 UE上下文。 接入节点可以自己区分临时标识是原始临时标识还是映射后的标识,也可 以通过 DNS , 由 DNS分析后反馈接入节点该临时标识是否是映射后的标识。 如果接入节点和 DNS 翻译的 old节点地址有误, 则翻译后的 old节点收到 Context Request后, 继续查找真正 old节点, 将消息中继给真正 old节点。
此外, 现有技术中, UE可能还会携带 Additional TMSI (附带临时标识), 即 UE接入 SAE时携带 Additional GUTI, 接入 2G/3G时携带 Additional old RAI/P-TMSI, 其中 P-TMSI也可是 TLLI, 该 Additional TMSI的作用是用来尽 量找到接入 RAT实体内的可能存在的 UE Context, 而使用 TIN指示的临时标 识获取上下文等, 这样能够直接合并获取的上下文到本 RAT 实体内的 UE Context, 否则接入 RAT需要根据获取的上下文中的 IMSI信息再查询是否本 RAT实体存在 UE Context, 然后再合并引起复杂性。 该 Additional TMSI实际 上在下面情况下可以不必携带, 以节省空口资源: 周期性位置更新 (Periodic TAU或 Periodic RAU )或切换过程中的 TAU或 RAU; 或 TIN指示的临时标 识与 Additional临时标识一致, 即 TIN指示的就是接入 RAT的临时标识; 或 UE在 Attach过程中存在接入 RAT的临时标识时。
采用本发明以上实施例, 明确了各个节点对临时标识的处理。 可以实现: 真正 GUTI和映射后的 GUTI有所区分; 真正 old RAI/P-TMSI (或 TLLI ) 与映射后的 old RAI/P-TMSI (或 TLLI )也有所区分。 如 LAC与 MMEGI中设 置一个 bit位, LAC始终为 0, MMEGI始终为 1。
当 UE使用 old RAI/P-TMSI映射的 GUTI接入 SAE, eNodeB通过区分知 道 UE使用 old RAI/P-TMSI接入,则尽量选择 NRI对应的 MME;或者 eNodeB 通过发现该 LAC是否有配置, 决定是否选择 NRI对应 MME或者重新 选择 MME。
当 UE通过 old RAI/P-TMSI映射后的 GUTI接入 MME, MME了解该
GUTI是映射的 GUTI, 还原 old RAI/P-TMSI/TLLI, 通过 old RAI和 NRI找到 old SGSN,向 old SGSN发送 Context Request,该 Context Request携带 (old RAI, P-TMSI/TLLI), old SGSN通过 old RAI和 P-TMSI/TLLI找到 UE context, 返 回给 MME。 或者, 当 UE通过 old RAI/P-TMSI映射后的 GUTI接入 MME, MME了 解该 GUTI是映射的 GUTI, MME查询 old SGSN是 S4 SGSN还是 Gn/Gp SGSN。 如果 old SGSN是 S4 SGSN, 那么 MME向 old SGSN发送 Context Request (GUTI), 即该 Context Request携带 GUTI, 或者发送 Identification Request, old SGSN还原 GUTI为 old RAI, P-TMSI/TLLI, 通过 old RAI和 P-TMSI/TLLI找到 UE context,返回给 MME;如果 old SGSN是 Gn/Gp SGSN, 那么 MME还原 old RAI/P-TMSI/TLLI, 向 old SGSN发送 Context Request , 该 Context Request携带 (old RAI, P-TMSI/TLLI), old SGSN通过 old RAI和 P-TMSI/TLLI找到 UE context, 返回给 MME。
Additional TMSI在切换 HO中的 TAU/RAU、 Periodic TAU/RAU、 TIN指 示的临时标识与 Additional临时标识一致时或 UE在 Attach过程中存在接入 RAT的临时标识时可以不需要。
当 Combined节点的 MME和 SGSN属于不同 PLMN, 或不同 PLMN的 MME和 SGSN建立 ISR时, UE可通过携带两个 PLMN-id或配置, 让 RAN 节点选择到对应的 CN节点。
通过区分 UE携带的标识是哪个 RAT分配的, RAN节点或接入节点能够 作相应合适的处理, 防止选择错误节点或发送不一致参数给对应节点。
本发明实施例还提供了一种为用户设备 UE分配网络资源节点的方法,该 方法包括:
