用户设备活动信息通知方法、 系统及网元设备、 服务器 本申请要求如下两个中国专利申请的优先权:
中国专利申请 1、 2008年 9月 28日提交至中国专利局, 申请号为 200810223809.5, 发明名称为"用 户设备活动信息通知方法、 系统及网元设备、 服务器";
中国专利申请 2、 2008年 10月 06日提交至中国专利局, 申请号为 200810149879.0,发明名称为"用 户设备活动信息通知方法、 系统及网元设备、 服务器";
上述两个中国专利申请的全部内容通过引用结合在本申请中。 技术领域
本发明实施例涉及移动通信技术领域, 尤其涉及一种用户设备活动信息通知方法、系统以及网 元设备、 服务器和业务相关设备。 发明背景
为了增强未来网络的竞争能力, 第三代合作伙伴计划 (3GPP)正在研究一种全新的演进网络, 如图 1所示, 为现有的演进网络的系统架构图, 该网络包括: 演进的通用移动通信系统 (Universal Mobile Telecommunications System, 以下简称: UMTS) 陆地无线接入网 (Evolved UMTS Terrestrial Radio Access Network, 以下简称: EUTRAN), 用于实现所有与演进网络无线相关的功能; 移动性 管理网元(Mobility Management Entity, 以下简称: MME), 用于负责控制面的移动性管理, 包括用 户上下文和移动状态管理、 分配用户临时身份标识等; 服务网关实体(Serving Gateway, 以下简称: SGW), SGW为 3GPP接入网络之间的用户面锚点, 为终止 ETURAN的接口; 分组数据网络网关实 体 (Packet Data Network Gateway, 以下简称: PGW) 为 3GPP接入网络和非 3GPP接入网络之间的 用户面锚点, 为终止和外部分组数据网络(Packet Data Network, 以下简称: PDN) 的接口; 策略和 计费规则功能实体 (Policy and Charging Rule Function, 以下简称: PCRF), 用于策略控制决定和流 计费控制功能; 归属用户服务器(Home Subscriber Server, 以下简称: HSS)用于存储用户签约信息。 该网络还包括: 服务通用分组无线业务(General Packet Radio Service, 以下简称: GPRS)支持节点 (Serving GPRS Support Node,以下简称: SGSN),全球移动通讯系统(GSM)增强无线接入网(GSM EDGE Radio Access Network, 以下简称: GERAN) 和 UMTS陆地无线接入网 (UTRAN)。 图 1所 示的系统架构并不意味着是最终的系统架构演进 ( System Architecture Evolution, 以下简称: SAE), 最终的 SAE可能和这个系统架构有所差别。
图 1所示的系统架构存在一种空闲模式下节约信令或限制信令 (Idle mode signaling reduction, 以下简称: ISR)的机制, 其主要目的为减少空闲模式下用户设备(User Equipment, 以下简称: UE) 在不同接入网络之间引起的移动性管理信令流程, 例如减少 GERAN/UTRAN和 EUTRAN之间的空 闲模式下 3GPP接入网络移动性管理处理流程。 在 ISR机制下, UE在两个不同的接入网络都注册, HSS中保存有两种接入技术核心网元的信息, 这样空闲模式下的 UE在这两个接入网络之间移动时 将不触发 3GPP接入网络移动性处理流程。
在图 1所示的系统架构下, 短消息 (Short Message, 以下简称: SM) 不是通过信令发送给用 户设备, 而是封装在因特网协议(Internet Protocol, 以下简称: IP)数据包中发送给用户设备。但是, 与其他 IP数据包不同之处在于, 如果 SM没有成功发送到用户设备, 网络侧需要缓存该 SM, 当检 测到用户设备的活动时,再将 SM发送到用户设备。具体地说,当用户的基于 IP的短消息系统(Short Message System, 以下简称: SMS) ( SMS over IP)传输失败时,业务相关实体(Service-related entity) 向归属位置寄存器(Home Location Register, 以下简称: HLR) /HSS请求 UE的可达信息; HLR/HSS 向 MME发送 UE可达通知请求订阅消息; MME接收到 UE可达的指示消息后, 根据该订阅标识, 向 HLR/HSS发送 UE活动通知消息。
根据现有协议,当用户的 SM传输失败时, HLR/HSS总是向 MME发送 UE可达通知请求消息。 一方面, 当 UE在 SGSN活动时, HLR/HSS并不能及时获取到用户活动的信息; 当 UE激活 ISR时, 用户在 SGSN和 MME同时注册, 如果 HLR/HSS只向 MME发送 UE可达通知请求消息, 当用户在 SGSN活动时, HLR/HSS并不能及时获取到用户活动的信息。 因此, 业务相关实体不能及时的根据 用户活动的信息, 再次发起发送 SM的流程, 降低了 SM的传输速度, 增加了存储 SM所需的网络 资源。
另一方面, 当用户在非 3GPP网络活动时, HLR/HSS总是向 3GPP的 MME发送 UE可达通知 请求消息, 会导致以下问题: 当用户移动到 3GPP活动时, 如果用户不在 IMS域注册, 此时即使通 知了业务相关实体用户活动的信息,由于用户的此时的 IP和用户在非 3GPP网络中的 IP地址可能不 同, 业务相关实体也不可能将 SM通过 IP方式发送给 UE, 因此通知业务相关实体用户的活动信息 或将 SM发送给 UE, 只会浪费资源。 发明内容

下面通过附图和实施例, 对本发明实施例的技术方案做进一步的详细描述。
如图 2所示, 为本发明实施例一用户设备活动信息通知方法的流程图, 具体包括如下步骤: 步骤 101、在接收到用于请求 UE活动信息的消息后, 当第一网元确定用户设备激活 ISR的机制 时, 通知第二网元上报用户设备活动信息;
步骤 102、 第一网元或第二网元将 UE活动信息发送给 HLR/ HSS。 进一步的, 第一网元或第二 网元还可以将用户当前使用的接入技术上报给 HLR/HSS。
其中在步骤 101之前还可以包括:步骤 1001、业务相关实体向 HLR/HSS发送用于请求 UE活动 信息的消息; 步骤 1002、 第一网元接收 HLR/HSS发送的用于请求 UE活动信息的消息。在步骤 102 之后还可以包括: 步骤 103、 HLR/HSS将接收到的 UE活动信息发送给业务相关实体。 进一步的, 步骤 103中还可以将接收到的 UE接入技术类型上报给业务相关实体。
具体地说, 可以在发送 UE活动信息的同时发送 UE接入技术类型, 即 UE使用的无线接入技术 (Radio Access Technique, 以下简称: RAT)。
需要说明的是在本实施例以及后续实施例中, RAT具体为:
UE当前使用的接入技术类型;
或者:当 UE激活了 ISR时, UE当前使用的 RAT可以为两种接入技术,例如:如果 UE在 UTRAN 接入 SGSN, 在长期演进网络(Long Term Evolution, 以下简称: LTE)接入 MME, 并且激活了 ISR, 则上报的 RAT应该是 UTRAN和 LTE;
或者: UE是在 3GPP接入还是在非 3GPP接入。
本实施例以及后续实施例中网元向 HSS/HLR上报的用户活动信息可以为所有 HSS/HLR认为 UE已经活动的信息, 例如:
User Activity Notification
Update Location
Ready for SM
本实施例中, 当获知 UE激活 ISR机制时, 将用于请求 UE活动信息的消息发送给第二网元, 第一网元和第二网元都接收到用于请求 UE活动信息的消息,无论 UE在第一网元或第二网元处活动, 都能及时的获得 UE的活动信息, 网络侧在检测到 UE的活动信息,可以及时的发起发送短消息的流 程, 加快了短消息传输的速度, 减少了存储短消息所需的资源; 并且, 本实施例中将 UE当前使用 的 RAT上报到业务相关实体, 业务相关实体可以比较 UE当前使用的 RAT和自身保存的 RAT, 在 可以发送 SM的情况下向 UE发送 SM。
如图 3所示, 为本发明实施例二用户设备活动信息通知方法的信令流程图, 本实施例中第一网 元可以为 MME, 第二网元可以为 SGSN, 具体包括如下步骤:
步骤 201、 HLR/HSS在接收到业务相关实体发送的用于请求 UE活动信息的消息之后, 査询当 前保存的网元信息,若保存了 UE注册的 MME信息,则向 MME发送用于请求 UE活动信息的消息; 步骤 202、 MME接收到用于请求 UE活动信息的消息后, 当获知 UE激活了 ISR机制, 则通知 SGSN上报 UE活动信息; 通过执行本步骤, 如果 UE活动, 则 MME或 SGSN需要上报 UE活动信 息 Ϊ
步骤 203、 MME或 SGSN接收 UE发送的 UE活动信息;
此时, 当 UE在 MME处活动时, MME接收 UE发送的 UE活动信息; 当 UE在 SGSN处活动 时, SGSN接收 UE发送的 UE活动信息。 图 3中仅示出 MME接收该消息的例子。
其中承载 UE活动信息的消息可以为: 附着请求消息、路由区 /跟踪区更新消息、服务请求消息、 PDN连接请求消息、 PDN去连接请求消息、 承载资源分配请求消息、 承载资源修改消息、 PDP激活 请求消息、 PDP修改请求消息、 PDP去激活请求消息等非接入层 (Non Access Stratum, 以下简称: NAS ) 消息。 上述消息均可以向 MME/SGSN指示当前 UE的活动信息。
步骤 204、 MME或 SGSN将 UE活动信息发送给 HLR/HSS。其中, 发送 UE活动信息的同时还 可以发送 UE使用的 RAT。
此后, HLR/HSS将 UE活动信息或者 UE活动信息和 UE使用的 RAT发送给业务相关实体。 进一步的, 在步骤 203中, 若 SGSN接收到 UE发送的 UE活动信息, 则在步骤 203和步骤 204 之间可以包括: SGSN将 UE活动信息通知给 MME; 步骤 204具体为: MME将 UE活动信息发送 给 HLR/HSS。其中, 用于通知 UE活动信息的消息可以包含 UE使用的 RAT, MME将 UE活动信息 和 UE使用的 RAT—同发送给 HLR/HSS。
MME和 SGSN中还可以保存有 UE可达请求参数(URRP) ,该 URRP表示当接收到 UE活动信 息后, 需要将其通知给 HLR/HSS。 当 MME接收到 UE活动信息时, 如图 3所示, 在步骤 204之后
还可以包括: 步骤 205、 MME通知 SGSN不需上报 UE活动信息, 具体地, 可以通过清除 SGSN中 保存的 URRP或给 URRP赋不同的值来实现 SGSN不再上报 UE活动信息。
同理, 当 SGSN接收到 UE活动信息时, 在步骤 204之后还可以包括: SGSN通知 MME不需上 报 UE活动信息; 具体地,可以通过清除 MME中保存的 URRP或给 URRP赋不同的值来实现 MME 不再上报 UE活动信息。
作为另外一种实施方式, 也可以由 HLR/HSS通知 MME或 SGSN不需上报 UE活动信息。 具体 地说, 当 MME接收到 UE活动信息时, HLR/HSS在接收到 MME发送的 UE活动信息之后, 通知 SGSN不需上报 UE活动信息。 当 SGSN接收到 UE活动信息时, HLR/HSS在接收到 SGSN发送的 UE活动信息之后, 通知 MME不需上报 UE活动信息。
上述不需上报 UE活动信息的通知方法使得当 UE在某一网元中活动时,及时的通知另一网元不 需要再上报 UE活动信息, 避免了无用的消息处理过程, 减少了垃圾消息。
在图 3所示的技术方案的基础上,本实施例在步骤 201之前还可以包括:业务相关实体判断 UE 是否从 3GPP网络接入, 若是, 则业务相关实体向 HLR/HSS发送用于请求 UE活动信息的消息; 否 贝 lj, 业务相关实体不会向 HLR/HSS发送该用于请求 UE活动信息的消息。
具体地说, 业务相关实体向短消息系统网关移动交换中心 (SMS-GMSC ) 发送用于指示 SM发 送失败的传输报告; SMS-GMSC向 HLR/HSS发送用于指示 SM发送失败的消息; HLR/HSS将该用 于指示 SM发送失败的消息发送给业务相关实体;业务相关实体向 HLR/HSS发送一个新的 SM传输 报告状态消息, 该消息中包括准确的结果以及原因值; 业务相关实体通过之前与 UE交互的会话初 始化协议( Session Initiation Protocol,以下简称: SIP )信令消息中携带的信息(P-Access-Network-Info ) 判断 UE是否从 3GPP网络接入, 若是, 则向 HLR/HSS发送用于请求 UE活动信息的消息; 否则, 业务相关实体不会向 HLR/HSS发送该用于请求 UE活动信息的消息。也就是说, 上述步骤 201是在 判断出 UE从 3GPP网络接入的前提下, 接收业务相关实体发送的用于请求 UE活动信息的消息。这 样, 避免了在 UE从非 3GPP网络接入的情况下, 向 HLR/HSS订阅 UE活动信息而导致浪费网络资 源的问题。
本实施例中, 当 MME获知 UE激活 ISR机制时, 根据 MME接收到的用于请求 UE活动信息的 消息, 通知 SGSN上报 UE活动信息, 无论 UE在 MME或 SGSN活动, HLR/HSS都能及时的获得 UE的活动信息, 使得网络侧在检测到 UE活动信息后, 可以及时的发起发送 SM的流程, 加快了短 消息传输的速度, 减少了存储短消息所需的资源; 进一步的, 当 UE在某一网元中活动时, 及时的 通知另一网元不需要再上报 UE活动信息, 避免了无用的消息处理过程, 减少了垃圾消息; 而且, 本实施例业务相关实体在判断出 UE从 3GPP网络接入时要求订阅 UE活动信息,避免了浪费网络资 源的问题。

步骤 302、 SGSN接收到用于请求 UE活动信息的消息后, 当获知 UE激活了 ISR机制, 则通知 MME上报 UE活动信息; 通过执行本步骤, 如果 UE活动, 则 MME或 SGSN需要上报 UE活动信 息
步骤 303、 MME或 SGSN接收 UE发送的 UE活动信息;
此时, 当 UE在 MME处活动时, MME接收 UE发送的 UE活动信息; 当 UE在 SGSN处活动 时, SGSN接收 UE发送的 UE活动信息。 图 4中仅示出 SGSN接收该消息的例子。
其中承载 UE活动信息的消息可以为: 附着请求消息、路由区 /跟踪区更新消息、服务请求消息、 PDN连接请求消息、 PDN去连接请求消息、 承载资源分配请求消息、 承载资源修改消息、 PDP激活 请求消息、 PDP修改请求消息、 PDP去激活请求消息等 NAS消息。 上述消息均可以向 MME/SGSN 指示 UE活动了。

此后, HLR/HSS将 UE活动信息或 UE活动信息和 UE使用的 RAT发送给业务相关实体。 本实施例中, MME和 SGSN中还可以保存有 UE可达请求参数 (URRP), 该 URRP表示当接 收到 UE活动信息后, 需要将其通知给 HLR/HSS。 其中不需上报 UE活动信息的通知方法可以参照 实施例二的描述。
在图 4所示的技术方案的基础上, 本实施例在步骤 301之前还可以包括:业务相关实体判断 UE 是否从 3GPP网络接入, 若是, 则业务相关实体向 HLR/HSS发送用于请求 UE活动信息的消息; 否 贝 IJ, 业务相关实体不会向 HLR/HSS发送该用于请求 UE活动信息的消息。该判断的过程也可以参照 实施例二的描述。
本实施例中, 当 SGSN获知 UE激活 ISR机制时, 根据 SGSN接收到的用于请求 UE活动信息 的消息, 通知 MME上报 UE活动信息, 无论 UE在 MME或 SGSN活动, HLR/HSS都能及时的获 得 UE的活动信息, 使得网络侧在检测到 UE活动信息后, 可以及时的发起发送 SM的流程, 加快了 短消息传输的速度, 减少了存储短消息所需的资源; 进一步的, 当 UE在某一网元中活动时, 及时 的通知另一网元不需要再上报 UE活动信息, 避免了无用的消息处理过程, 减少了垃圾消息; 而且, 本实施例业务相关实体在判断出 UE从 3GPP网络接入时要求订阅 UE活动信息,避免了浪费网络资 源的问题。
