具体实施方式
实施例一:
参阅图 1 , 本发明实施例一提供一种移动性管理方法, 包括:
网络侧将 MA上下文与终端上下文绑定;
接收所述 MA发送的位置更新请求;
根据所述位置更新请求和 MA上下文与终端上下文的绑定关系, 确定所述 终端与所述 MA—起移动。
上述网络侧可以是移动性管理实体, 在 EPS ( evolved packet system, 演进 的分组系统)中, 该移动性管理实体可以是 MME ( Mobile Management Entity, 移动性管理实体); 该位置更新请求可以是 TAU ( Tracking Area Update, 跟踪 区更新)请求。 后面实施例以 EPS系统为例描述本发明方案。
其中, 网络侧将 MA上下文与终端上下文绑定可以有两种方式实现, 单宿 方式和多宿方式,单宿方式要求绑定终端和 MA必须注册到同一个 MME上,在 绑定时如果终端和 MA注册在不同的 MME上,由 MA注册的 MME向终端注册的 MME获取终端上下文, 进行终端上下文与 MA上下文的绑定; 多宿方式则允许 绑定终端和 M A注册到不同的 MME上, 通过 M A注册的 MME与终端注册的 MME建立上下文关联以间接实现终端与 MA的绑定,后续实施例会详细描述这 两种实现方式。
其中,在网络侧将 MA上下文与终端上下文绑定之前,还包括: 网络侧(可 以是 MA注册的移动性管理实体 )接收 MA发送的用于请求网络侧授权移动代 理能力的认证请求,对 MA进行认证, 向 MA返回认证结果; MA广播通告消息, 所述通告消息中携带所述认证结果; 终端根据所述认证结果, 确认 MA得到网 络授权可以提供移动代理。其具体过程可以有如下两种方式实现, 第一种方式 包括如下步骤:
51、 MA发起附着请求消息, 该附着请求消息作为认证请求, 该附着请求 消息中携带请求自己作为移动代理的信息。
52、 MME接收到附着请求消息后, 从 HSS ( Home Subscriber Server, 归属 用户月良务器) 或者 AAA月良务器 ( Authentication , Authorization , Accounting Server, 鉴权、 授权、 计费服务器)获取签约数据, 对 MA进行认证。
53、 MME在对 MA认证成功后, 向 MA返回附着接受消息, 该附着接受消 息中携带认证结果, 认证结果包括网络授权的安全参数, 安全参数包括: 供终 端对 MA进行合法性认证的认证参数、 授权 MA提供移动代理服务的时间段、 授权 MA提供移动代理服务的区域(例如 MA可以服务的 TA ( Tracking Area, 跟踪区) 列表)、 授权 MA提供移动代理服务的终端数量。
该步骤中在附着接受消息中下发安全参数主要是考虑到不仅网络要对 MA 进行认证, 后续终端也要对 MA进行认证, 以验证 MA已经得到网络的授权, 授权其在特定时间的时间段、 区域为特定数量的终端提供移动代理服务。
54、 MA注册完成后, 在特定范围内通过无线信号发送通告消息, 以通告 自己的存在, 通告消息中包括: MA的 ID、 网络为 MA分配的 GUTI ( Globally Unique Temporary Identity , 全球唯一临时标识符 )、 ΜΜΕ为 Μ Α分配的 TA List、 MA当前所在的 TA、 安全参数和 MA的容量(MA已经服务的终端数、还可以服 务的终端数, 或者负荷百分比)。
其中, MA在特定范围内发送通告消息是 MA希望该特定范围内的终端能 够接收到通告消息, 即该特定范围是终端可以与 MA进行绑定移动的范围。
该步骤中 MA发送通告消息可以是通过专门规划的频段和格式发送通告消 息,也可以利用移动通信系统现有的广播消息的频段发送通告消息, 其通告消 息的格式也可以采用现有的广播消息的格式并在消息中增加特有的参数, 如 MA的 ID等。
上述步骤是通过附着流程完成 MA的认证过程, 也可以通过其他流程, 例 如 TAU ( Tracking Area Update, 跟踪区更新) 流程完成 MA的认证过程, 也可 以通过新增流程完成上述 MA的认证过程, 不影响本发明的实现。
S5、 终端进入 MA的信号覆盖区域, 接收到通告消息, 并确认自己特定时 长内一直处于该 MA的信号覆盖区域内, 即确认自己粘连在 MA上; 终端^ f艮据 通告消息中的安全参数对 MA进行认证, 确认当前 MA得到网络授权可以提供 移动代理的服务。
由于终端和 ΜΑ^艮可能都处于移动过程中, 在某些情况下可能是 4艮短的时 间内终端处于某个 ΜΑ的信号覆盖区域内, 然后就离开了该 ΜΑ的信号覆盖范 围, 例如安装了 ΜΑ的公共汽车行驶到一个终端附近时, 恰好位于公共汽车外 面的终端接收到该 ΜΑ的通告消息, 由于这种情况下终端不需要和 ΜΑ绑定, 所以需要终端确认自己特定时长内一直处于该 ΜΑ的信号覆盖区域内才能判断 自己在跟随该 ΜΑ移动。
在一些大型的交通工具上,为了服务于大量的终端,可能安装有多个 ΜΑ。 如果该步骤中终端在特定时长内同时接收到多个 MA的通告消息, 该步骤还包 括: 终端根据预定的策略, 选择一个 MA进行后续的绑定。 其中, 预定的策略 可以是根据 MA的信号强度进行选择, 以实现 MA之间的负荷分担; 或者, 根 据 MA广播的通告消息中的负荷百分比选择负荷轻的 MA; 或者, 根据各 MA的 权重值(MA的权重值与 MA被授权服务的终端数量相对应, 终端数量少, 则 权重值小, 终端数量多, 则权重值大)选择权重值比较大的 MA; 又或者, 随 机选择等, 也可以根据粘连时间长度进行选择, 具体的, 比如一个终端处于 MA1的信号覆盖区域内 2分钟, 处于 MA2的信号覆盖区域内 4分钟, 则该终端 会选择 MA2进行后续的绑定。
第二种方式包括如下步骤:
Tl、 网络侧预先配置包括公钥和私钥的非对称密钥, 非对称密钥的特点 是使用私钥加密的信息只有对应的公钥才能打开,使用公钥加密的信息只有对 应的私钥才能打开。 网络侧持有的私钥不公开, 将公钥发送给各终端, 可以将 网络侧的公钥烧录在终端中的智能卡中,也可以在终端附着或者 TAU过程中由 网络侧分发给终端, 或者通过基站发送的广播消息通知终端。
Τ2、 ΜΑ预先配置包括公钥和私钥的非对称密钥; ΜΑ向网络侧注册时, 将 ΜΑ所配置的公钥提供给 ΜΑ注册的 ΜΜΕ, 比如, ΜΑ向其注册的 ΜΜΕ发送 认证请求, 在认证请求中携带 ΜΑ所配置的公钥, ΜΜΕ确认 ΜΑ能够提供移动 代理服务后, 用自己配置的私钥加密 ΜΑ所配置的公钥和 MA ID, 得到第一加 密段作为认证结果并发送给 M A。
T3、 MA使用自己配置的私钥对 MA的 ID、 当前的时间戳, 网络给 MA的授 权等信息进行加密, 得到第二加密段, 并发送通告消息, 该通告消息中包括: 第一加密段和第二加密段。
T4、 终端利用网络侧配置的公钥解密第一加密段, 得到 ΜΑ所配置的公钥 和 ΜΑ的 ID, 利用 MA所配置的公钥解密第二加密段, 得到 MA的 ID和当前的时 间戳,终端判断第一加密段中的 MA的 ID与第二加密段中的 MA的 ID是否相同, 如果是, 判断所述当前时间戳和所述通告消息中的时间戳之差是否超过阈值, 如果否, 确认 MA得到网络授权, 能够提供移动代理服务。
通过如上的合法性认证方式, 确保仿冒的 MA无法得到网络的授权, 保证 只有经过合法性认证的 MA才能得到网络的授权, 为终端提供服务。
本发明实施例一中的网络侧通过将 MA ( Mobile Agent, 移动代理)上下 文与终端上下文绑定, 在接收到 MA发送的位置更新请求后, 认为与 MA绑定 的终端也进行了相应的移动, 因此, 不需要与 MA绑定的终端分别发起位置更 新请求消息, 也能确定终端的移动位置, 减轻了网络的处理负担。 实施例二:
参阅图 2, 本发明实施例二提供一种移动性管理方法, 该方法中采用单宿 方式实现终端与 MA的绑定, 该方法包括:
Ll、 终端发送 TAU请求消息, 该 TAU请求消息是绑定请求, 终端可以在确 认自己粘连在 MA后任何时机发起绑定, 作为一个较优的实施方案, 本发明实 施例的终端在确认自己粘连在 MA后的下一个 TAU流程中发起绑定(该下一个 TAU可以是终端移出当前跟踪区列表时所触发的 TAU,或者终端上控制周期性 触发 TAU请求的定时器超时所触发的 TAU )。 该消息中携带终端的 GUTI、 终端 选择的 MA的 ID和 MA注册的 MME的寻址信息以及绑定指示。 其中 MA注册的 MME的寻址信息可以是 MA的 GUTI, 其填写在 TAU请求消息中的用于无线接 入网路由绑定请求消息的字段内,由于用于无线接入网路由绑定请求消息的字 段原来是填写终端注册的 MME的寻址信息的, 其终端注册的 MME的寻址信息 可以是终端的 GUTI, 因此终端的 GUTI需要放在消息中一个新增的信元中, 这 样无线接入网会根据该 TAU请求消息中 MA的 GUTI中的 MME Code将消息路 由到 MA所注册的 MME1。
L2、 MME1 ( Mobility Management Entity, 移动性管理实体)通过 MA的 GUTI查找到 MA上下文, 检查该 MA是否得到网络的授权提供移动代理服务。 MME1通过终端的 GUTI中的 MME Code确认终端当前注册在自己上还是注册 在其他 MME上,如果终端注册在其他 ^1^^上(比如 MME2 ),则 MME1从 MME2 获取终端上下文, 如果终端当前注册在自己上面, 则 MME1直接^ f艮据终端的 GUTI查找预存的终端上下文。 (图中所示为 MME1从 MME2获取终端上下文的 情况)
L3、 MME1将终端上下文关联到 MA上下文, 此后, MME1知道后续该绑 定终端将和 MA—起移动, MME1向终端返回绑定成功的指示信息, 该绑定成 功的指示信息可以是 TAU接受消息, 以指示绑定成功。
其中, MME1也可以不用向终端返回绑定成功的指示信息, 终端在发送绑 定请求后, 判断特定时长内是否收到来自 MME1的响应消息, 如果未收到 MME1的响应消息, 就认为已绑定成功。
终端在绑定 MA成功后, 终端在 TA间移动时, 将不再发起 TAU请求消息, 该 TAU请求消息是位置更新请求消息,但此时终端可以仍然发起周期性 TAU流 程并通过周期性 TAU流程在网络侧维持与 MA的绑定关系。 并且, 终端在绑定 期间可以继续接收 MA的通告消息, 从通告消息中获得 MME为 MA分配的新的 TA List作为自己的当前的 TA List。 当然, 终端也可以在去绑定时再向 MME请 求为自己分配 TA List。
以上步骤实现了终端与 MA的绑定, 后续步骤描述 M A代理绑定的终端进 行位置更新。
L4、 MA检测基站发送的广播信号,发现自己已经移出 MME为自己分配的 TA List范围而进入一个目标跟踪区 TA2, MA发起 TAU请求消息(此时 TAU请 求消息为第一位置更新请求); eNodeB接收该 TAU请求消息, 并在该 TAU请求 消息中加入目标跟踪区标识 TAI2后发送。 假设 MA原来注册的 MME1仍然能够 为跟踪区 TA2服务, 则 eNodeB将 TAU请求消息路由到 MME1。
L5、 MME1接收到 TAU请求消息后, 查找 MA的上下文, 为 MA分配新的 TA List并保存在 M A上下文中, 该新的 TA List包括但不仅限于: TAI2, MME1 向 MA返回 TAU接受消息, 该消息中携带为 MA分配的新的 GUTI、 TA List, 还 可以包括已经绑定到 MA上的终端的数量, 或者负荷百分比等信息。
其中, 该 MME1为 MA分配 TA List时可减少 TA的数量, 以减少寻呼区的大 小。
由于 MA与多个终端绑定, 代理多个绑定终端的位置更新流程, 因此终端 的位置更新消息的数量已经大量减少, 如果 MME1为 MA分配 TA List中的 TA的 数量减少的话, 在寻呼终端时, 基站的广播消息覆盖范围小, 可以节省无线资 源。 与 MA进行绑定, 并向终端发送绑定成功的指示信息, 以指示终端在 TA间移动 时不发起 TAU请求, 并在网络侧接收到与多个终端绑定的 MA发送的位置更新 请求后, 认为与 MA绑定的终端也进行了相应的移动, 因此, 不需要与 MA绑 定的终端分别发起位置更新请求消息,也能确定终端的移动位置, 减轻了网络 的处理负担。
实施例三: 参阅图 3, 本发明实施例三提供一种移动性管理方法, 该方法中采用多宿 方式实现终端与 MA的绑定, 该方法包括:
Ml、 终端发起 TAU请求消息, 该 TAU请求消息是绑定请求, 终端可以在 确认自己粘连在 MA后任何时机发起绑定, 该消息中携带网络为终端分配的 GUTL 终端选择的 MA的 ID、 MA的 GUTI和绑定指示。
在该多宿方案中, 由于不需要无线接入网将该 TAU请求消息路由到 MA注 册的 MME1 , 所以终端在 TAU请求消息中的 "终端的 GUTI" 字段中填写自己 的 GUTI, 而将 MA的 GUTI填写到消息的其他字段中。
无线接入网根据 TAU请求消息中的 "终端的 GUTI字段" 中的 GUTI中包含 的 MME Code确定终端当前注册在 MME2, 将该 TAU请求消息路由到 MME2。
M2、 MME2根据 TAU请求消息中的终端的 GUTI寻找终端的上下文, 并根 据 MA的 ID或者 MA的 GUTI判断自己是否是 MA当前注册的 MME, 如果否, 继 续判断自己是否存在附属 MA上下文, 如果存在, 则直接将附属 MA上下文与 终端上下文建立关联, 并将附属 MA上下文中用于记录绑定终端数量的计数器 加 1 ; 如果不存在附属 MA上下文, 则建立附属 MA上下文, 将附属 MA上下文 与终端上下文建立关联, 并将附属 MA上下文中用于记录绑定终端数量的计数 器设置为 1。 然后根据 MA的 GUTI确定 MA的上下文在 MME1上, 与 MME1建立 上下文关联。 如果判断得到 MME2是 MA当前注册的 MME时, 直接将 MA上下 文与终端上下文进行绑定。
具体的, MME2与 MME1建立上下文关联的方式是: MME2向 MME1发送 上下文关联请求消息, 以通知 MME1已在 MME2上建立了附属 MA上下文, 其 中, 附属 MA上下文包括: MA注册的 MME1的地址和对应 MA上下文的标识, 其中, MA注册的 MME1的地址可以是根据 MA的 GUTI中包含的 MME Code通 过查询 DNS ( Domain Name System, 域名系统)服务器获得的, 上述上下文关 联请求消息包括: 对应 MA上下文的标识和对应附属 MA上下文的标识; 其中, 对应 MA上下文的标识用于 MME1查找 MA上下文, 例如可以是 MA的 GUTI; MME1根据对应 MA上下文的标识, 查找到对应的 MA上下文,将 MME2上附属 MA上下文的信息(包括 MME2的地址和对应附属 MA上下文的标识)存入 MA 上下文中, 并向 MME2发送上下文关联响应。 如果 MME2上存在附属 MA上下 文, 说明 MME2已经与 MME1建立了上下文关联, 则 MME2不用每次有终端绑 定时都向 MME1发送上下文关联请求消息。 但在关联关系已经建立的情况下, MME2可以定时向 MME1发送上下文关联更新消息, 该消息包括: 附属 MA上 下文的状态 (即表示 MME2上是否有附属 MA上下文)和 /或附属 MA上下文所 绑定的终端数量, 用于 MME1确定 MME2上是否有附属 MA上下文, 和 /或, 用 于 MME 1获知该 MME2上附属 M A上下文所绑定的终端数量,进而统计 M A上下 文所关联的所有附属 MA上下文上所绑定的终端的数量。
M3、 MME2向终端返回绑定成功的指示信息, 该绑定成功的指示信息可 以是 TAU接受消息, 以指示绑定成功。
其中, MME2也可以不用向终端返回绑定成功的指示信息, 终端在发送绑 定请求后, 如果未收到 MME1的响应消息, 就认为已绑定成功。
终端在绑定成功后, 终端在 TA间移动时, 将不再发起 TAU请求消息, 该 TAU请求消息是位置更新请求消息,但此时终端可以仍然发起周期性 TAU流程 并通过周期性 TAU流程在网络侧维持与 MA的绑定关系。 并且, 终端在绑定期 间继续接收 MA的通告消息, 从通告消息中获得 MME为 MA分配的新的 TA List 作为自己的当前的 TA List。 当然, 终端也可以在去绑定时再向 MME请求为自 己分配 TA List。
以上步骤实现了终端与 MA的绑定, 后续步骤描述 MA代理绑定的终端进 行位置更新。
M4、 MA检测基站发送的广播信号, 发现自己已经移出 MME1为自己分配 的 TA List范围而进入一个目标跟踪区 TA2 , MA发起 TAU请求消息; eNodeB接 收该 TAU请求消息,在该 TAU请求消息中加入目标跟踪区标识 TAI2后发送。假 设 MA原来注册的 MME1仍然能够为跟踪区 TA2服务, eNodeB将 TAU请求消息 路由到 MME1。
M5、 MME1接收到 TAU请求消息后, 查找 MA的上下文, 为 MA分配新的
TA List并保存在 M A上下文中, 该新的 TA List包括但不仅限于: TAI2。 MME1 从 MA上下文中确认与其他的 MME建立了上下文关联,如果网络配置为由网络 直接在 TA List中寻呼终端,则从 MA上下文中获取关联的 MME的地址和对应附 属 MA上下文的标识, 向该关联的 MME (比如 MME2 )发送 3艮踪区更新通知消 息, 该消息中携带 MME1为 ΜΑ新分配的 TA List和对应附属 MA上下文的标识, MME2接收到该消息后, 4艮据对应附属 MA上下文标识查找附属 MA上下文,将 新的 TA List保存在附属 MA上下文中。 如果不是由网络直接在 TA List中寻呼终 端, 而是通过 MA中转的, 则本步骤中通知 MME2更新附属上下文中的 TA List 不是必须的。
M6、 MME2向 MME1返回 3艮踪区更新响应消息。
M7、 MME1向 MA返回 TAU接受消息, 该消息中携带为 MA分配的新的 GUTI、 TA List以及已经绑定到 MA上的终端的数量。
本发明实施例三中终端注册的 MME2将终端上下文与附属 MA上下文进行 关联,且终端注册的 MME2与 MA注册的 MME1建立上下文关联,将终端与 MA 进行绑定, 并向终端发送绑定成功的指示信息, 以指示终端在 TA间移动时不 发起 TAU请求,在网络侧接收到与多个终端绑定的 MA发送的位置更新请求后, 认为与 MA绑定的终端也进行了相应的移动。 因此, 不需要与 MA绑定的终端 分别发起位置更新请求消息,也能确定终端的移动位置, 减轻了网络的处理负 担。 本实施例中两个 MME之间通过直接进行消息交互建立关联关系, 在实际 应用中, 例如 MA注册的移动管理实体和终端注册的移动管理实体是松耦合的 关系时, 也可以通过一个中间网元中转来建立这种关联关系, 不再详述。
实施例四:
参阅图 4, 本发明实施例四中对 MA的功能进一步增强, 使 MA具有移动基 站的功能, 终端通过 MA执行绑定, 采用单宿方式实现终端与 MA的绑定, 该 方法包括:
Nl、 终端向 MA发起 TAU请求, 该 TAU请求是绑定请求, 该消息中携带终 端的 GUTI,该消息还可以携带 MA的相关信息, MA的相关信息包括: MA的 ID、 MA当前所在的 TA、 MA的 GUTI等。如果该 TAU请求中不携带 MA的相关信息, 则 MA会在 TAU请求中加入 MA的相关信息。
N2、 MA向 MA注册的 MME1发送 TAU请求消息。
其中, 该 TAU请求消息是否仍然经过无线接入网取决于 MA选择的回程方 案, 如果 MA选择当前移动通信网的无线链接作为回程, 则该消息需要通过无 线接入网到达网络侧; 如果 MA选择其他的回程方案, 比如卫星、 WLAN (无 线局域网)、 敖波存取全球互通 ( Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access, WiMax ), 则不需要经过无线接入网。
N3— N6与 L2— 相同。
本发明实施例四中终端通过 MA发送 TAU请求到 MME1 , MME1将终端上 下文与 MA上下文进行关联, 实现终端与 MA的绑定, 并向终端发送绑定成功 的指示信息, 以指示终端在 TA间移动时不发起 TAU请求, 在网络侧接收到与 多个终端绑定的 MA发送的位置更新请求后, 认为与 MA绑定的终端也进行了 相应的移动, 因此, 不需要与 MA绑定的终端单独发起位置更新请求消息, 也 能确定终端的移动位置, 减轻了网络的处理负担。
该实施例四以单宿方式为基础, 描述了终端通过 MA执行绑定的方式, 也 可以以多宿方式为基础, 其实现方式包括: 终端发送绑定请求, MA或者接入 汇聚网关将终端的绑定请求路由到终端注册的移动性管理实体,后续的执行步 骤与 M3和 M7相同, 在此不再赘述。
如下几种情况是在 MA与终端绑定后, 对网络侧寻呼绑定终端、 网络侧与 终端之间的信令连接建立后的绑定关系、 MA通知绑定终端进行重新绑定和去 绑定流程进行描述。
一、 网络侧寻呼绑定终端
在终端与 MA绑定后, 网络侧认为 MA的当前位置就是终端的当前位置, 因此寻呼终端时可以在 MA的当前跟踪区 (即为 MA分配的 TA List ) 内寻呼终 端。
如下有三种寻呼方式:
1、 由于 MME中的 MA上下文或者附属 MA上下文中总是保存着 MA分配的 TA List, 所以终端当前注册的 MME可以指示无线接入网直接在 MA的 TA List 内寻呼终端。
其中, 为了提高寻呼成功率, MME可以指示无线接入网除了在 MA的 TA
List中的寻呼区( MA的 TA List中的寻呼区即是 MA当前寻呼区 )发送寻呼消息 夕卜, 还在 MA的 TA List的临近小区也发寻呼消息, 以避免当 MA位于寻呼区边 缘时, 绑定的终端可能处于寻呼区之外的临近小区而导致接收不到寻呼消息, 寻呼失败。 2、 在网络中采用单宿方式实现终端与 MA的绑定时, 通过 MA进行寻呼终 端。
MA注册的 MME1决定对终端发起寻呼, MME1首先将寻呼消息发送到 MA, MA在自己覆盖的范围内广播寻呼消息; 终端接收到寻呼消息后, 可以 通知 MA停止广播寻呼消息, 并通过良务请求消息向 MME1响应寻呼。
3、 在网络中采用多宿方式实现终端与 MA的绑定时, 通过 MA进行寻呼终 端。
Pl、 MME2决定寻呼终端,发现终端上下文关联到一个附属 MA上下文上, 从该附属 MA上下文中得到 MA所注册的 MME1的地址, 向 MME1发送寻呼消 息, 该消息中携带需要寻呼的终端的标识。
P2、 MME1接收到寻呼消息后, 将寻呼消息发送给 MA。
P3、 M A在自己的覆盖区域内广播寻呼消息, 以寻呼终端。
P4、 终端收到寻呼消息后, 可以通知 M A停止广播寻呼消息, 向 MME2发 送服务请求消息, 以应答寻呼。
当采用通过 MA寻呼终端的方案时, 如果 MA是采用无线接入连接到网络 侧并且与网络侧的无线连接已经释放, 则在将对终端的寻呼消息发送给 MA之 前可能需要先寻呼 MA并重新建立无线连接; 如果 MA是采用固定接入连接到 网络侧, 例如 MA放置在电影院、 体育馆等场所, 则对终端的寻呼消息可以直 接发送给 MA。
二、 网络侧与终端之间的信令连接建立后的绑定关系
如果 MA不具备中转终端和网络之间的信令和用户面数据的功能时, 如果 终端需要进行业务, 或者, 终端接收到寻呼消息后需要发送服务请求消息到终 端当前注册的 MME (比如 MME2 ), MME2接收到服务请求消息后, 通过无线 接入网建立与终端的信令连接, 以应答终端的服务请求消息。 并可以根据终端 的请求恢复终端与无线接入网之间的承载。在终端和网络建立信令连接的情况 下, 终端按照未和 MA绑定时一样的触发条件触发切换、 TAU等流程。
在终端和网络侧建立信令连接的情况下, 对于终端和 MA的绑定关系有如 下两种处理方案:
1、 终端和 MME上都清除终端和 MA的绑定关系。 终端可以在信令连接释 放后, 转为 Idle态后重新绑定到该 MA上, 也可以选择新的 MA进行绑定。
具体的, 对于单宿方式, MA注册的 MME1 (由于该 MME1获取了终端上 下文, 所以该 MME1也是终端当前注册的 MME )删除 MA上下文与终端上下文 的绑定关系。 对于多宿方式, 终端注册的 MME2删除附属 MA上下文与终端上 下文的绑定关系, 并将用于记录绑定终端数量的计数器减 1 , 当计数器值为 0 时,从附属 MA上下文中获取 MA注册的 MME1的信息, 向 MME1发送指示删除 上下文关联的通知消息, 所述指示删除上下文关联的通知消息包括: 对应 MA 上下文的标识, 如可以使用 MA的 GUTI; MME1从 MA上下文中删除 MME2的 地址和对应附属 MA上下文的标识, 以删除与 MME2的上下文关联。
如上所述在终端和网络侧建立信令连接的情况下, 清除终端和 MA的绑定 关系, 可以避免在终端检测到自己已经移出 MA的覆盖范围后所触发的去绑定 流程, 使网络处理流程筒单。
2、 终端和 MME继续保持绑定关系。 在这种情况下, 即使终端和网络侧建 立了信令连接, 当终端所检测到已经离开所绑定的 MA的覆盖区域时, 也需要 发起去绑定流程通知网络侧自己已经离开 MA的覆盖区域。
三、 MA通知绑定终端进行重新绑定
由于终端与 MA绑定后,在 TA间移动时不再发起 TAU流程从而节省了 TAU 请求消息数量。 但是, 当由于 MA的移动范围较大不得不发生 MME切换时, 由 于 MA注册的 MME发生了改变, 在单宿方案下, 所有当前与该 MA绑定的终端 的上下文都需要迁移到新的 MME上; 在多宿方案下, 部分甚至全部绑定终端 可能也需要迁移到新的 MME上(不一定与 MA迁移到的新 MME相同 ), 并且由 于 MA注册的 MME发生了改变, MA注册的新 MME和终端注册的 MME之间的 MA上下文关联关系需要重建, 在本发明的实施例中, 网络侧先释放所有终端 与 MA的绑定关系, 然后通知 MA, 并由 MA通知绑定的终端发起 TAU流程, 以 进行重新绑定, 参阅图 5, 其过程具体包括:
Ql、 MA移出 TA List中的跟踪区, 进入另一个 TA, 发起 TAU请求消息, 该 消息是第二位置更新请求消息。 由于 MA原来注册的 MME不能为新的 TA服务, 所以无线接入网选择一个新的 MME(即为 MA注册的新 MME, MME6 ),将 TAU 请求消息路由到 MME6。 Q2、 MME6向 MA原来注册的 MME ( MA注册的老 MME, MME5 )发送获 取 MA上下文请求。
Q3、 MME5接收到 MME6发起的获取上下文请求后, 如果 MA与终端以多 宿方式绑定, 则从 MA的上下文中获取关联的 MME的地址和对应附属 MA上下 文的标识, 向所有关联的 MME发送指示删除上下文关联的通知消息, 该消息 中包括: 对应附属 MA上下文的标识。 关联的 MME (比如终端注册的老 MME, MME3 )接收到指示删除 MA上下文关联的通知消息后, 查找对应的附属 MA 上下文, 清除附属 MA上下文与终端的绑定关系, 并删除附属 MA上下文, 向 MME5应答。
Q4、 在自己以及所有关联的 MME上该 MA上下文与终端上下文的绑定关 系都清除后 (即关联 MME所保存的附属 MA上下文与终端上下文绑定关系清 下文标识被清除 ) , MME5向 MME6发送 MA上下文。
Q5、 MME6向 HSS登记自己为 MA当前注册的 MME。
Q6、 MME6为 MA分配新的 GUTI和 TA List, 向 MA返回 TAU接受消息, 该 消息中携带为 MA新分配的 GUTI、 TA List和重绑定指示。
Q7、 MA收到 TAU接受消息后, 根据重绑定指示确认需要终端进行重新绑 定, 发送重绑定通告消息, 并在重绑定通告消息中通知所有与 MA绑定的终端 执行重新绑定流程。
Q8、 终端收到重绑定通告消息后, 发起 TAU请求消息, 该消息中携带终 端自己的 GUTI、 MA的 ID、 MA的 GUTI ( MME6为 MA新分配的 GUTI )和绑定 指示。
为了减少大量绑定终端在短时间内发起 TAU重绑定对网络造成的沖击,各 个终端在收到重绑定通告消息后, 可以随机延迟一段时间再发起 TAU请求消 息。
在多宿方式下, 无线接入网根据该消息中的终端的 GUTI, 将该 TAU请求 消息路由到终端原来注册的 MME ( MME3 ), 如果该 MME3不能为进入新的 TA 的终端服务, 则无线接入网选择一个能够为 TA服务的 MME (比如 MME4作为 终端新注册的 MME ), 此时, 将该 TAU请求消息路由到 MME4。 Q9、 MME4从 MME3获取终端上下文。
Q10、 MME4根据 MA的 ID或者 MA的 GUTI确认自己不是 MA当前注册的 MME, 判断自己是否存在附属 MA上下文, 如果存在, 则直接将附属 MA上下 文与终端上下文建立关联; 如果不存在附属 MA上下文, 则建立附属 MA上下 文,并将附属 MA上下文与终端上下文建立关联。然后根据 MA的 GUTI确定 MA 的上下文在 MME6上, 与 MME6建立上下文关联, 这里重绑定流程的处理与初 始绑定的处理相同。
Qll、 MME4向 HSS登记自己为终端当前注册的 MME。
Q12、 MME4向终端返回 TAU接受消息, 该消息中携带 MME4为终端分的 新 GUTI。
以上描述多宿方式下的重绑定, 如果 MA与终端以单宿方式绑定, 则 MA 原来注册 MME ( MME5 ) 与终端原来注册的 MME ( MME3 ) 为同一个 MME, MA新注册 MME ( MME6 )与终端新注册的 MME ( MME4 ) 为同一个 MME。 此时, 与以上描述不同之处在于, Q2中 MME6向 MME5发送获取上下文请求和 清除 MA和终端的绑定关系的指示, Q3中 MME5将 MA与终端的绑定关系清除, 即清除 MA上下文与终端上下文的关联关系。 Q10中 MME4建立 MA上下文与终 端上下文的绑定关系。
如上通过 MA指示终端进行重新绑定, 可以实现当 MA进行 MME切换时, MA与终端的重新绑定, 以保证进行 MME切换后, 网络侧依然能够根据 MA的 移动确定与其绑定在一起的终端也一起移动。
四、 去绑定流程
1、 当终端检测到自己已经移出 MA覆盖范围后, 发起 TAU流程去绑定。 图 6示出了终端触发的去绑定流程, 具体包括:
Rl、 终端检测到 MA信号强度低于预定的门限值, 或者 MA广播消息中要 求终端去绑定, 终端发起 TAU请求消息, 该 TAU请求是去绑定请求, 该消息中 携带终端的 GUTI、 MA的 ID、 去绑定指示, 该 TAU请求消息被路由到 MME2 (终端当前注册的 MME )。
R2、 如果是单宿方式, 由于在绑定时终端上下文被迁移到 MA当前注册的 MME1 , 所以此时终端当前注册的 MME2和 MA当前注册的 MME1是一个 MME,则删除 MA上下文和所述终端的上下文的绑定关系。如果是多宿方式下, 终端当前注册 MME2确认终端上下文关联到附属 MA上下文, 并将计数器减 1 , 当计数器数值为 0时, 从附属 MA上下文中获取 MA当前注册的 MME1的信息 ( MME1的地址), 向 MME1发送指示删除上下文关联的通知消息; MME1收 到该通知消息后,从 MA上下文中删除该 MME2的信息和对应附属 MA上下文的 标识。 (图中所示为多宿方式)
其中, 当计数器数值为 0时, 可以不马上向 MME1发送指示删除上下文关 联的通知消息, 而是等待一段时间, 比如等待 30秒, 以确认 MME2短时间内是 否有新的终端要与 MA进行绑定, 如果是, 则不发送指示删除上下文关联的通 知消息, 如果否, 发送指示删除上下文关联的通知消息。
R3、 MME2为终端新分配 GUTI和 TA List, 向终端发送 TAU接受消息, 该 消息中携带为终端新分配的 GUTI和 TA List。
在去绑定后, 终端在移动出 TA List的跟踪区而进入一个新的跟踪区时,像 现有技术一样发起 TAU流程通知网络位置改变。
以上描述的终端检测到自己已经移出 MA覆盖范围, 主动发起 TAU流程去 绑定, 保证在终端移动出 MA覆盖范围时, MA与终端的绑定关系解除, 以使 后续终端移动时能像现有技术一样继续触发 TAU流程, 而不是根据 MA的移动 确定该终端的移动, 保证网络侧能获得终端正确的移动位置。
2、 在某些情况下, MA可能决定停止移动代理服务, 比如安装了 MA的公 共汽车到了终点, 或者, 当 MA^载能力下降时, 决定批量去绑定当前已绑定 的一些终端, 图 7示出了 MA触发的去绑定流程, 具体包括:
51、 MA发起 TAU请求, 该 TAU请求携带去绑定当前所有终端的指示。
52、 MA当前注册 MME1接收到该 TAU请求, 如果是单宿方式, 则清除所 有绑定的终端上下文与 M A上下文的绑定关系。如果 MME 1每次为 M A重新分配 TA List时,对终端上下文中的 TA List都没有刷新的话, 则在之前还包括将所有 绑定的终端上下文中的 TA List设置成 MA当前的 TA List。 如果是多宿方式, MME1从 MA上下文中获取关联的 MME的信息( MME的地址和对应附属 MA上 下文的标识), MME1向关联的 MME (比如 MME2 )发送指示删除上下文关联 的通知消息,该消息中携带对应附属 MA上下文的标识。如果 MME1每次为 MA 重新分配 TA List时, 都没有通知 MME2, 则该指示删除上下文关联的通知消息 中还包括 MA当前的 TA List。 MME2根据附属 MA上下文的标识查找附属 MA上 下文, 将与附属 MA上下文有绑定关系的终端上下文中的 TA List设置成 MA当 前的 TA List, 清除附属 MA上下文与终端上下文的绑定关系, 删除附属 MA上 下文, 向 MME1应答。 (图中所示为多宿方式)
53、 MA当前注册 MME1向 MA返回 TAU接受消息指示 MA去绑定成功, 该 消息中包括 MA当前的 TA Listo
54、 MA向终端发送用于指示绑定关系已解除的去绑定通告消息, 该去绑 定通告消息中包括 MA当前的 TA List。
当终端接收到去绑定通告消息后, 将通告消息中的 MA当前 TA List作为自 己的当前 TA List保存起来, 并解除自己保存的与 MA的绑定状态, 即后续如果 在移动出 TA List的跟踪区而进入一个新的跟踪区时,像现有技术一样发起 TAU 流程通知网络位置改变。
由于终端可能离绑定的 MA有一定距离, 在某些罕见情况下, 当绑定的终 端接收到 MA的去绑定通告消息后, 可能发现自己已经移动出 MA当前的 TA List的跟踪区的范围,也即 MME2上保存的终端上下文中的 TA List是不准确的, 此时终端发起 TAU流程向 MME2上 4艮自己的准确位置并要求重新为自己分配 TA Listo
如上以 MA去绑定所有终端为例进行描述, MA也可以去绑定某些终端, 例如在多宿方案下 MA只请求去绑定注册在某一个 MME上的终端的绑定关系, 其实现方式与上述描述相似, 在此不再赘述。
上述描述的 MA触发去绑定, 可以在 MA不能或者停止作为移动代理时, 使 MA与终端的绑定关系批量清除, 而不需要每个绑定终端分别发起去绑定流 程, 从而节约了去绑定的信令数量。
上述本发明各实施例是终端主动发起绑定请求消息, 以请求与 MA进行绑 定的, 此仅为本发明技术方案提供的一种实施方式, 本发明技术方案并不限于 此, 也可由网络侧主动将 MA与终端进行绑定, 比如, 网络侧对 MA的认证成 功 (即授权 MA具有移动代理功能)后, 将与 MA位置临近的终端与 MA绑定, 并在绑定后向终端发送绑定指示, 指示终端在 TA间移动时不发起 TAU流程, 不影响本发明的实现。
