Definitions
- the present invention relates to a WCDMA core network in the field of mobile communications and a handover method based on a WCDMA core network.
- the existing Wideband Code Division Multiple Access (WCDMA) system is an important system and method for implementing service access based on wireless WCDMA technology.
- Its core network architecture is shown in Figure la. Including the GPRS (General Packet Radio Service) node (SGSG), the Gateway GPRS Support Node (GGSN), and the home subscriber subscription register, etc., the attribution in the 2G
- the Home Location Register (HLR) and the Home Subscriber Server (HSS) in 3G are collectively referred to as the Home Subscriber Register, and are represented by HLR/HSS.
- the SGSN is a basic component network element of the GPRS network. It is a new network element device introduced in the Globle System for Mobile Communication (GSM) network to provide GPRS services. Its main role is to forward the input or output IP packets for the MS of the SGSN service area.
- GSM Globle System for Mobile Communication
- the GGSN provides routing and encapsulation of data messages between the WCDMA network and the external data network. Which GGSN the user selects as the gateway is determined according to the subscription information of the user and the access point name requested by the user in the Packet Data Protocol (PDP) context activation process.
- PDP Packet Data Protocol
- the HLR/HSS stores the user's packet domain subscription data and routing information.
- the HLR/HSS can be accessed by the SGSN through the Gr interface, and the GGSN is accessed through the Gc interface.
- the HLR/HSS may be on a different Public Land Mobile Network (PLMN) than the current SGSN.
- PLMN Public Land Mobile Network
- the WCDMA system also defines a single tunnel network architecture, as shown in Figure lb.
- the architecture and The architecture of Figure la differs in that the data bearer is directly connected to the GGSN by the Radio Network Controller (RNC), which effectively saves the processing of data packets and weakens the functions of the SGSN at the data forwarding and transmission level.
- RNC Radio Network Controller
- the mobile network keeps the continuous transmission and reception of the service while the terminal is continuously moving. This is the switching function.
- the handover function is implemented in the relocation process and the Inter-system change.
- the relocation process completes the process of changing the access path of the data in the core network with the location of the terminal in the process of using the service data, thereby ensuring the continuity of the service.
- the relocation process is the most complex process in the mobile communications core network. It involves the functions of data forwarding and routing update.
- the relocation process is divided into the following scenarios:
- the first two are distinguished by whether there is an Iur interface between RNCs, which is the main process.
- the present invention relates to the second.
- the following describes the relocation process by using joint hard handover and SRNS relocation as an example. There is no Iur interface between RNCs, and the process is only performed when the MS is in the PMM - CONNECTED state.
- the joint hard handover and SRNS relocation procedures are used to perform the hard handover determined by the UMTS Terrestrial Radio Access Network (UTRAN), and the UTRAN is migrated from the source RNC to the target RNC on the UTRAN side to the CN connection point. .
- the Iu link is relocated. If the target RNC is connected to the same SGSN as the source RNC, the relocation procedure inside the SGSN SRNS is performed. If the SGSN to which the target RNC is connected is different from the SGSN to which the source RNC is connected, the SRNS relocation procedure between the SGSNs is performed. After performing this process, the routing area update process between the SGSNs is then performed.
- the present invention is concerned with the SRNS relocation process between SGSNs.
- Figure 2a shows the situation before the joint hard handover and SRNS relocation and routing area update when the source RNC and the target RNC are connected on different SGSNs.
- Figure 2b shows the situation after joint hard handoff and SRNS relocation and routing area update.
- the MS is registered in the pre-SGSN and the pre-MSC/VLR.
- the source RNC is used as a serving RNC (SRNC).
- SRNC serving RNC
- the MS registers with the new SGSN and the new MSC/VLR.
- the MS is in the PMM-CON ECTED state
- the new MSC/VLR the MS is in the MM IDLE state and the target RNC is used as the serving RNC.
- Step 301 The source RNC initiates joint hard handover and SRNS relocation of the PS domain.
- Step 302 The source RNC initiates a relocation preparation process by sending a Relocation Required message to the former SGSN (01d SGSN).
- the relocation type is set to "involving UE”.
- Step 303 The front SGSN sends a "Forward Relocation Required" message to the new SGSN according to the target cell ID, if it is determined that the SRNS relocation is an SRNS relocation between the SGSNs, and initiates a relocation resource allocation process;
- Step 304a The new SGSN sends a relocation request message to the target RNC. According to the location information of the terminal that requests relocation, the address of the new SGSN corresponding to the terminal is found.
- the relocation request message includes a permanent NAS UE identification number, a reason, a CN domain indicator, a transparent container from the source RNC to the target RNC, and a Radio Access Bearer (RAB) to be set.
- RAB Radio Access Bearer
- Step 304b The target RNC accepts all necessary resources of the RAB, including the successful assignment of the Iu user plane, establishing an RAB bearer with the new SGSN, and sending a Relocation Request Acknowledge message to the new SGSN;
- the relocation request confirmation message includes: a target RNC to the source RNC transparent container, an RAB setting, a RAB setting failure, and the like.
- the transparent container contains all the wireless related information required for the MS handover, ie complete RRC message (such as physical channel reconfiguration), transparently transmitted through the CN and the source RNC.
- RRC message such as physical channel reconfiguration
- the target RNC receives the downlink PDU forwarded from the source RNC and the downstream PDU from the new SGSN for each RAB to be set (defined by the IP address and tunnel endpoint identifier).
- Step 305 After the resource for transmitting user data between the target RNC and the new SGSN is allocated, and the new SGSN is ready for relocation of the SRNS, the new SGSN sends a "Forward Relocation Response" message to the former SGSN. ;
- the Forward Relocation Response message includes: Cause, UTRAN Transparent Container, RANAP Cause, and Target RNC Information. Indicates that the target RNC is ready to receive downstream packets from the source RNC that have not been verified by the MS. At this point, the relocation resource allocation process was successfully terminated.
- Step 306 The former SGSN sends a Relocation Command message to the source RNC to continue relocation of the source RNS.
- the relocation command message includes: a transparent container from the target RNC to the source RNC, an RAB to be released, and an RAB subject to data forwarding restrictions.
- the former SGSN determines the RABs subject to data forwarding according to Quality of Service (QoS), and those RABs should be included in the RAB subject to data forwarding.
- QoS Quality of Service
- Step 307 After receiving the relocation command message from the PS domain, the source RNC starts the data forwarding timer, and starts forwarding data for the RAB subject to the data forwarding restriction.
- Data forwarding in SRNS relocation should be performed through the Iu interface, meaning that data exchanged between the source RNC and the target RNC is replicated in the source RNC and sent to the target RNC at the IP layer.
- Step 308 When the relocation preparation process is successfully terminated, and the source RNC is ready, the source RNC triggers the execution of the SRNS relocation by sending an RRC message provided in the "target RNC to the source RNC transparent container" to the MS.
- the RRC message may be a physical channel reconfiguration message (Physical Channel Reconfiguration), and the message carries the UE information element and the CN transparent container.
- Physical Channel Reconfiguration Physical Channel Reconfiguration
- Step 309 The source RNC sends a "Forward SRNS Context" (RAB Context) message to the target RNC via the former SGSN (old SGSN) and the new SGSN (new SGSN), and continues to perform SRNS relocation by forwarding the SRNS context.
- Confirm Forward SRNS Context Acknowledge
- the purpose of this process is to migrate the SRNS context from the source RNC to the target RNC when a handover in the CN occurs.
- the target RNC resets and restarts the RLC connection, and at the target RNC
- the Packet Data Convergence Protocol (PDCP) sequence number (PDCP-SNU, PDCP-SND) is exchanged with the MS.
- PDCP Packet Data Convergence Protocol
- Step 310 The target RNC detects the terminal, and when receiving the relocation execution trigger message, the target RNC sends a Relocation Detect message to the new SGSN;
- the relocation execution trigger message may be from
- the target RNC should start the SRNC operating mode.
- Step 311 After the terminal is reconfigured, the RRC message, such as a Physical Channel Reconfiguration Complete message or a radio release completion message, is sent to the target RNC, indicating that the target RNC can start to exchange the packet with the MS.
- the RRC message such as a Physical Channel Reconfiguration Complete message or a radio release completion message
- the target RNC After receiving the message sent by the UE, the target RNC sends a Relocation Complete message to the new SGSN to initiate a relocation completion process.
- Step 312 the new SGSN sends a Forward Relocation Complete (Forward Relocation Complete) message to notify the former SGSN, the SRNS relocation process is completed, and the former SGSN returns a Forward Relocation Complete Acknowledge message to the new SGSN.
- a Forward Relocation Complete Forward Relocation Complete
- the purpose of the relocation completion process is to indicate to the CN that the SRNS relocation is complete by the target RNC. If the user plane has not been switched in the relocation detection, the CN should switch the user plane from the source RNC to the target RNC after receiving the relocation complete message.
- Step 313 After receiving the relocation detection message, the new SGSN sends an Update PDP Context Request message to the relevant GGSN, carrying the new SGSN address, the SGSN tunnel endpoint identification number, and the negotiated QoS.
- the GGSN updates their PDP context fields and returns an Update PDP Context Response message carrying the GGSN tunnel endpoint identification number;
- Step 314 After receiving the Forward Relocation Complete message, the former SGSN sends an Iu Release Command (Iu Release Command) message to the source RNC. When the RNC data forwarding timer expires, the source RNC responds with an Iu Release Complete (Iu Release Complete). Message
- Step 315 After the MS completes the reconfiguration process, if the new routing area identifier is different from the previous one, the MS initiates a routing area update process.
- the routing area update process is to register the current location information of the MS in the new SGSN and update the new SGSN information into the HLR.
- the routing area update part of this flow is only a subset of the RA update process performed because the MS is in the PMM-CON ECTED state.
- WCDMA systems can provide users with multiple types of business applications, but there are also many application problems, such as:
- the GGSN is unchanged and there is a route bypass.
- the GGSN remains unchanged during the connection and use of the service. In this way, when the user moves, it is possible to move to a place far away from the GGSN and close to the service source, thereby causing the path to be bypassed.
- Using a static public address as the IP address of the terminal has a great limitation on the mobility of the user.
- a static public IP address can only be removed from a fixed gateway due to route planning. Once you move to a remote location, you cannot access the external network nearby. Inevitably caused routing back.
- the mobility management process to ensure business continuity is complex.
- the current mobility management process is complex, as shown in the various processes above.
- the main reason is to ensure business continuity, the terminal IP address is immutable, the GGSN is immutable, and the related bearer must have an anchor point. All information in response must be accurately passed and rebuilt.
- the above problems are essentially caused by the commonality of TCP/IP addresses and identities.
- the industry has proposed a variety of new mobile management technologies.
- the essential idea is the separation of user identity and location.
- SILSN Subscriber Identifier & Locator Separation Network
- host-based implementations such as HIP technology
- router-based implementations such as Location Identity Separation Protocol (LISP) technology.
- LIP Location Identity Separation Protocol
- Each implementation is supported by a variety of technologies.
- the identity of the end user (indicated as AID in the text) does not change during the mobile process, and the location identifier (represented as RID in the text) is additionally assigned according to the location of the terminal. Implement routing and forwarding of data packets.
- Figure 4a shows a network architecture of identity and location separation (SILSN).
- the network topology of the SILSN architecture is divided into an access network and a backbone network with no overlapping relationships in the topology relationship.
- the access network is located at the edge of the backbone network.
- the backbone network is responsible for routing and forwarding data packets between terminals.
- the user ID of the AID as the terminal remains unchanged during the terminal movement; the RID is the location identifier assigned by the network to the terminal and is used in the backbone network.
- the identity and location identifiers may have different names in different SILSN architectures, but the essence is the same of.
- the terminal may be one or more of a mobile terminal, a fixed terminal, and a nomadic terminal, such as a mobile phone, a landline telephone, a computer, a server, and the like.
- the access network is used to provide a Layer 2 (physical layer and link layer) access means for the terminal, and maintains a physical access link between the terminal and the ASN.
- Layer 2 physical layer and link layer
- the main network elements of the backbone network include:
- the Access Service Node is used to allocate RIDs to the terminal, maintain AID-RID mapping information of the terminal, register and query the RID of the terminal, and implement routing and forwarding of data packets.
- the terminal must access the backbone network through the ASN.
- the RID allocated by the ASN for the terminal contains the address information of the ASN, or points to the ASN, and the RID is used as the destination address of the data packet, the data packet will be routed to the ASN.
- a common router (CR) is used to select a route according to the RID in the data packet, and forward the data with the RID as the destination address.
- the Identity Location Register (ILR) is used to store and maintain the identity and location identifier mapping information of the home user terminal.
- the text is also written as AID-RID mapping information to process registration, deregistration and query of the terminal location. ;
- the backbone network may further include:
- the Packet Transfer Function also known as the packet forwarding function node, is used to route and forward data packets with the AID as the destination address.
- ISN Internet Service Node
- the interface of the ILR is used to implement interconnection between two networks.
- the above ILR, or ILR and PTF form the mapping forwarding plane of the backbone network, CR, or CR and ISN constitute the generalized forwarding plane of the backbone network.
- the format of data packets forwarded between ASNs is as shown in Figure 4b.
- the source AID of the inner layer is the AID of the terminal
- the destination AID is the AID of the communication peer
- the source RID is the RID of the terminal
- the destination RID is the RID of the communication peer.
- the RID of the terminal is used to address the ASN accessed by the terminal
- the RID of the communication peer is used to address the ASN accessed by the communication peer.
- the Layer 2 header is a encapsulation when there is a tunnel between two ASNs.
- the ASN receives the uplink data packet for RID encapsulation and forwarding.
- the ASN queries the RID of the communication peer locally, such as querying, and uses the RID of the communication peer as the destination address, and the terminal RID as the source address is encapsulated in the data packet including the terminal AID and the communication peer AID, and is forwarded in a generalized manner.
- the plane forwards to the ASN of the communication peer. If it is not queried, it is necessary to go to the communication peer to the ILR to query the RID of the communication peer and save it locally. In this case, the RID of the terminal can be encapsulated in the packet, and then forwarded to the generalized forwarding plane through the mapping forwarding plane. After the RID of the communication peer is queried, the RSN of the communication peer is locally queried by the ASN.
- the RID encapsulation and forwarding process is performed in a timely manner.
- the ASN receives the data packet sent by the generalized forwarding plane, performs RID encapsulation, and strips the RID and sends it to the terminal.
- the ASN needs to allocate the RID to the terminal when the terminal accesses, and needs to register the RID with the ILR to update the RID of the terminal in the ILR.
- the ASN also needs to maintain the AID-RID mapping information of the terminal and its communication peer to implement RID encapsulation of the message.
- the ASN maintains the peer information of the terminal for each terminal (also referred to as connection information between the terminal and the communication peer, or communication relationship information between the terminal and the communication peer), where the terminal AID and its communication pair are included.
- Correspondence information of the terminal AID such as the AID of the terminal and its communication peer in the peer table.
- the AID-RID mapping information of the terminal may also be included, and the ASN uniformly maintains the AID-RID mapping information of the communication peers of all terminals. Of course, it is also possible for the ASN to maintain the AID-RID mapping information of all communication peers for each terminal separately.
- the SILSN architecture can be applied to the existing WCDMA core network to implement mobility management and service access, which can effectively solve the above problems of WCDMA.
- the prior art does not propose a corresponding implementation scheme for how to support the identity identification and location separation of the terminal in the handover process of the WCDMA system, and avoid route degeneration.

Description
一种 WCDMA核心网及基于 WCDMA核心网的切换方法
技术领域
本发明涉及移动通信领域中的 WCDMA核心网及基于 WCDMA核心网 的切换方法。
背景技术
现有宽带码分多址( Wideband Code Division Multiple Access, WCDMA ) 系统是当前基于无线 WCDMA技术实现业务接入的重要系统和方法。其核心 网架构如图 la所示。 包括服务 GPRS ( General Packet Radio Service, 通用无 线分组服务)节点 (Serving GPRS Support Node, SGSN ) 、 关口 GPRS节点 ( Gateway GPRS Support Node, GGSN )和归属用户签约寄存器等网元, 文 中将 2G中的归属位置寄存器 (Home Location Register, HLR)和 3G中的归属 用户服务器 (Home Subscriber Server, HSS)统称为归属用户签约寄存器, 用 HLR/HSS表示。
SGSN是 GPRS网络的一个基本的组成网元, 是为了提供 GPRS业务而 在全球移动通讯系统( Globle System for Mobile Communication, GSM ) 网络 中引进的一个新的网元设备。 其主要的作用就是为本 SGSN服务区域的 MS 转发输入或输出的 IP分组。
GGSN提供数据报文在 WCDMA网内和外部数据网之间的路由和封装。 用户选择哪一个 GGSN作为网关,是在分组数据协议(Packet Data Protocol , PDP ) 上下文激活过程中根据用户的签约信息以及用户请求的接入点名确定 的。
HLR/HSS存储用户的分组域签约数据和路由信息。 HLR/HSS可由 SGSN 通过 Gr接口访问, GGSN通过 Gc接口访问。 对于漫游的 MS, HLR/HSS可 能与当前的 SGSN 处在不同的公共陆地移动网络 (Plubic Land Mobile Network, PLMN ) 。
WCDMA系统也同时定义了单隧道的网络架构,如图 lb所示。该架构与
图 la 的架构的区别在于数据承载由无线网络控制器 (Radio Network Controller, RNC )和 GGSN直接相连, 有效节约了数据报文的处理, 以及弱 化了 SGSN在数据转发和传输层面的功能。
移动网络的一个重要特性是在终端持续移动的过程中仍保持业务的连续 性收发, 这就是切换功能。 对于 WCDMA核心网而言, 切换功能是在重定位 流程和系统间切换流程( Inter-system change ) 中实现的。
重定位流程完成用户在使用业务数据的过程中使数据在核心网内的接入 路径随终端位置改变而改变, 从而保证业务的连续性。 重定位流程是移动通 信核心网中最复杂的流程。 涉及到数据转发、 路由更新的功能。
重定位流程按发生的场景分为:
-服务无线网络子系统 (Service Radio Nerwork Subsystem, SRNS)重定 位;
-联合的硬切换和 SRNS重定位;
-联合的小区/ URA和 SRNS重定位;
- SRNS重定位取消。
其中, 前两种按 RNC之间有无 Iur接口进行区分, 是主要的流程。 本发 明涉及的是第二种。
下面以联合硬切换和 SRNS重定位为例描述重定位过程, RNC之间无 Iur 接口 , 且该过程只在 MS处于分组域移动管理 -连接 (PMM - CONNECTED)状 态时执行。
联合硬切换和 SRNS 重定位过程用于执行由 UMTS 陆地无线接入网 ( UMTS Terrestrial Radio Access Network, UTRAN ) 决定的硬切换时, 在 UTRAN侧从源 RNC到目标 RNC, 将 UTRAN迁移到 CN连接点。 在这个过 程中, Iu链接被重定位。 如果目标 RNC与源 RNC连接到同一 SGSN上, 则 SGSN SRNS内部的重定位过程被执行。 如果目标 RNC连接到的 SGSN与源 RNC连接到的 SGSN不同, 则 SGSN间的 SRNS重定位过程被执行。 执行这 个过程后接着执行 SGSN之间的路由区更新过程。 本发明关注的是 SGSN间 的 SRNS重定位过程。
图 2a所示为当源 RNC和目标 RNC连接在不同的 SGSN上时,在联合硬 切换和 SRNS重定位和路由区更新前的情况。图 2b所示为联合硬切换和 SRNS 重定位及路由区更新完成后的情况。 如图所示, SRNS 重定位和路由区更新 前, MS注册在前 SGSN和前 MSC/VLR中。 源 RNC用作服务 RNC(SRNC)。 SRNS重定位和 RA更新后, MS在新 SGSN和新 MSC/VLR中注册。 对于新 SGSN而言, MS处于 PMM-CON ECTED状态, 对于新 MSC/VLR而言, MS处于 MM IDLE状态, 目标 RNC用作服务 RNC。
PS域的联合硬切换和 SGSN间的 SRNS重定位过程如图 3a和图 3b所示, 包括重定位准备过程、 重定位执行过程和重定位完成过程, 具体如下:
步骤 301 : 源 RNC发起 PS域的联合硬切换和 SRNS重定位;
步骤 302: 源 RNC通过发送重定位请求 (Relocation Required)消息给前 SGSN(01d SGSN), 发起重定位准备过程;
该重定位请求中包含的重定位类型、 原因、 源小区 ID、 目标小区 ID、 源 RNC到目标 RNC透明容器等内容。 重定位类型设置为 "涉及 UE" 。
步骤 303: 前 SGSN根据目标小区 ID, 如果确定 SRNS重定位是 SGSN 间的 SRNS重定位, 发送 "转发重定位请求 (Forward Relocation Required)" 消 息给新 SGSN, 发起重定位资源分配过程;
步骤 304a: 新 SGSN发送重定位请求消息给目标 RNC; 根据请求重定位 的终端的位置信息, 找到该终端对应的新 SGSN的地址,
该重定位请求消息中包括永久 NAS UE识别号、 原因、 CN域指示器、 源 RNC 到目标 RNC 的透明容器和要设置的无线接入承载 (Radio Access Bearer, RAB)等。
步骤 304b:目标 RNC接受 RAB所有必要的资源包括 Iu用户面成功分配 后, 建立与新 SGSN的 RAB承载, 发送重定位请求证实 (Relocation Request Acknowledge )消息给新 SGSN;
重定位请求证实消息中包括: 目标 RNC至源 RNC透明容器、 RAB设置、 设置失败的 RAB等。透明容器包含 MS切换需要的所有与无线有关的信息即 完整的 RRC消息 (如物理通道重新配置) , 通过 CN和源 RNC透明地发送
到 MS。 目标 RNC为每个要设置的 RAB (由 IP地址和隧道端点标识符定义) 接收来自源 RNC转发的下行 PDU和来自新 SGSN的下行 PDU。
步骤 305: 目标 RNC和新 SGSN之间传送用户数据的资源已分配好, 并 且新 SGSN已为 SRNS的重定位准备就绪后, 新 SGSN发送 "转发重定位响 应 (Forward Relocation Response)" 消息到前 SGSN;
转发重定位响应消息中包括: 原因、 UTRAN透明容器、 RANAP原因及 目标 RNC信息。表示目标 RNC已准备好从源 RNC接收还没被 MS证实的下 行分组包。 至此, 重定位资源分配过程被成功终结。
步骤 306:前 SGSN发送重定位命令 (Relocation Command)消息给源 RNC, 继续源 RNS的重定位;
重定位命令消息中包括:目标 RNC至源 RNC的透明容器、要释放的 RAB 及受数据转发制约的 RAB。前 SGSN根据服务质量(Quality of Service, QoS ) 确定受数据转发制约的 RAB,那些 RAB应包含在受数据转发制约的 RAB中。
步骤 307: 源 RNC从 PS域接收到重定位命令消息后, 启动数据转发定 时器, 开始为受数据转发制约的 RAB转发数据;
在 SRNS重定位中的数据转发应通过 Iu接口执行, 意味着在源 RNC和 目标 RNC之间交换的数据是在源 RNC中复制并在 IP层向目标 RNC发送的。
步骤 308: 当重定位准备过程被成功终止, 并且源 RNC 准备就绪, 源 RNC通过发送 "目标 RNC到源 RNC透明容器 "中提供的 RRC消息给 MS , 触发 SRNS重定位的执行。
上述 RRC 消息如可以是物理通道重配置消息(Physical Channel Reconfiguration), 消息中携带 UE信息元和 CN透明容器。
步骤 309: 源 RNC经前 SGSN(old SGSN)和新 SGSN(new SGSN)发送"转 发 SRNS上下文 (Forward SRNS Context)" ( RAB上下文) 消息给目标 RNC , 继续执行 SRNS的重定位, 由转发 SRNS上下文证实 (Forward SRNS Context Acknowledge)消息证实;
这个过程的目的是当在 CN中的切换发生时将 SRNS上下文从源 RNC迁 移到目标 RNC。 目标 RNC重新设置和重新启动 RLC连接, 并在目标 RNC
和 MS之间交换分组数据汇聚层协议(Packet Data Convergence Protocol, PDCP )序列号 (PDCP-SNU, PDCP-SND ) 。
步骤 310: 目标 RNC对终端进行检测, 当接收到重定位执行触发消息时, 目标 RNC发送重定位检测 (Relocation Detect)消息给新 SGSN;
对于 "UE Involved" 的 SRNS重定位类型, 重定位执行触发消息可能从
Uu接口接收到。 重定位检测消息被发送后, 目标 RNC应启动 SRNC的运行 模式。
步骤 311 : 终端重新配置好后, 发送 RRC消息如物理通道重新配置完成 (Physical Channel Reconfiguration Complete)消息或无线 载释放完成消息给 目标 RNC, 表示目标 RNC可以开始与 MS交换分组包;
当目标 RNC 接收到 UE发送的消息后, 发送重定位完成 (Relocation Complete)消息给新 SGSN, 发起重定位完成过程。
步骤 312, 新 SGSN发送转发重定位完成 (Forward Relocation Complete) 消息通知前 SGSN, SRNS重定位过程已完成, 前 SGSN返回转发重定位完成 证实 (Forward Relocation Complete Acknowledge)消息给新 SGSN;
重定位完成过程的目的是由目标 RNC向 CN表明 SRNS重定位的完成。 如果在重定位检测中用户面还没有切换, CN接收到重定位完成消息后应将用 户面从源 RNC切换到目标 RNC。
步骤 313: 新 SGSN接收到重定位检测消息后, 发送更新 PDP上下文请 求 (Update PDP Context Request)消息给相关 GGSN,携带新 SGSN地址, SGSN 隧道端点识别号和议定 QoS。 GGSN更新它们的 PDP上下文字段并返回一个 更新 PDP上下文响应 (Update PDP Context Response)消息,携带 GGSN隧道端 点识别号;
步骤 314:接收到转发重定位完成消息后,前 SGSN发送 Iu释放命令(Iu Release Command )消息给源 RNC , 当 RNC数据转发定时器到期时, 源 RNC 响应一个 Iu释放完成 (Iu Release Complete)消息;
步骤 315: MS完成重新配置过程后,如果新路由区标识与以前的不一样, MS会发起路由区更新过程。
路由区更新过程是为了将 MS 当前的位置信息登记在新 SGSN, 并把新 SGSN信息更新到 HLR中。 本流程中的路由区更新部分只是执行的 RA更新 过程的一个子集, 因为 MS处于 PMM-CON ECTED状态。
WCDMA系统可以为用户提供多种类型的业务应用, 但也存在很多应用 上的问题, 如:
GGSN不变,存在路由迂回。终端在一次连接及使用业务的过程中, GGSN 保持不变。 这样在用户发生移动的情况下, 有可能移到距离 GGSN很远而距 离业务源较近的地方, 从而造成路径迂回。 使用静态公有地址作为终端的 IP地址, 会对用户的移动性有很大限制。 静态公有 IP地址由于路由规划的原因, 只能从固定的网关出局。 一旦移动到 很远的地方, 无法就近接入外部网络。 不可避免的造成路由迂回。
为了保证业务连续性而进行的移动性管理流程很复杂。 目前的移动性管 理流程很复杂, 如上面的各流程所示。 主要原因为保证业务连续性, 终端 IP 地址不可变, GGSN不可变, 相关的承载必须有一个锚点。 响应的所有信息 都要精确传递和重新搭建承载。
上述存在的问题本质上在于 TCP/IP的地址和身份的共有性造成的。为了 解决这些问题, 业界目前提出了多种新的移动管理技术。 其本质思想是用户 身份和位置分离技术。 现有技术中已有有关身份标识和位置分离 (Subscriber Identifier & Locator Separation Network, SILSN ) 的解决方案, 如基于主机的 实现如 HIP技术, 以及基于路由器的实现如位置身份分离协议 (LISP)技术, 每种实现中又有相关的多种技术进行支持, 这些方案中终端用户的身份标识 (文中表示为 AID )在移动过程中不改变, 根据终端的位置另行分配位置标 识(文中表示为 RID )来实现数据报文的路由和转发。
图 4a示出了一种身份标识和位置分离(SILSN)的网络架构, 该 SILSN架 构的网络拓朴划分为拓朴关系上没有重叠的接入网和骨干网, 接入网位于骨 干网的边缘, 负责所有终端的接入, 骨干网负责接入的终端间数据报文的路 由和转发。 网络中, AID作为终端的用户身份标识, 在终端移动过程中始终 保持不变; RID是网络为终端分配的位置标识, 在骨干网使用。 应说明的是, 身份标识和位置标识在不同的 SILSN架构可以有不同的名称, 但实质是一样
的。
SILSN架构中, 终端可以是移动终端、 固定终端和游牧终端中的一种或 多种, 如手机、 固定电话、 电脑和服务器等等。
SILSN架构中, 接入网用于为终端提供二层(物理层和链路层)接入手 段, 维护终端与 ASN之间的物理接入链路。
SILSN架构中, 骨干网的主要网元包括:
接入服务节点 (Access Service Node, ASN)用于为终端分配 RID, 维护终 端的 AID-RID映射信息, 到 ILR登记注册和查询终端的 RID, 以及实现数据 报文的路由和转发等。终端须经过 ASN接入骨干网。 ASN为终端分配的 RID 包含该 ASN的地址信息, 或者说指向本 ASN, 将该 RID作为数据报文的目 的地址时, 该数据报文将被路由到该 ASN。
通用路由器( Common Router, CR ) , 用于根据数据报文中的 RID进行 选路, 转发以 RID为目的地址的数据 ^艮文。
身份位置寄存器( Identity Location Register, ILR ) , ILR用于保存和维 护归属用户终端的身份标识和位置标识映射信息, 文中也写为 AID-RID映射 信息, 处理对终端位置的注册、 去注册和查询;
可选地, 骨干网还可以包括:
分组转发功能(Packet Transfer Function, PTF ) , 也称为分组转发功能 节点, 用于路由和转发以 AID为目的地址的数据报文。
互联服务节点 (Internet Service Node, ISN), 具有与通用路由器、 ASN和
ILR的接口, 用于实现两个网络的互联互通。
上述 ILR, 或 ILR和 PTF构成了骨干网的映射转发平面, CR, 或 CR和 ISN构成了骨干网的广义转发平面。
在 SILSN架构中, 在 ASN之间转发的数据报文的格式为图 4b所示。 其 中内层封装的源 AID为终端的 AID, 目的 AID为通信对端的 AID, 源 RID 为终端的 RID, 目的 RID为通信对端的 RID。 终端的 RID用于寻址到该终端 接入的 ASN,通信对端的 RID用于寻址到通信对端接入的 ASN。二层报头为 两个 ASN之间有隧道时进行的封装。
在 SILSN架构中进行通信时, ASN收到上行数据报文要进行 RID封装和 转发。 具体地, ASN在本地查询通信对端的 RID, 如查询到, 将通信对端的 RID作为目的地址, 以终端 RID为源地址封装在包含终端 AID和通信对端 AID的数据报文中, 经广义转发平面转发到通信对端接入的 ASN。 如查询不 到, 要到通信对端归属 ILR查询到通信对端的 RID并保存在本地。 此时, 可 以在报文中封装上终端的 RID后, 通过映射转发平面转发到广义转发平面, 或者,在查询到通信对端的 RID后,再由该 ASN按上述在本地查询到通信对 端的 RID时的方式进行 RID封装和转发处理。在下行方向, ASN收到广义转 发平面发来的数据报文后进行解 RID封装, 剥去其中的 RID后发送给终端。
可以看出, ASN为了实现报文的正常转发, 需要在终端接入时为该终端 分配 RID, 并需要到 ILR注册该 RID, 以更新 ILR中的该终端的 RID。 ASN 还需要维护终端及其通信对端的 AID-RID映射信息,来实现对报文的 RID封 装。 在一个示例中, ASN为每个终端维护该终端的对端信息 (也可称为终端 与通信对端的连接信息, 或终端与通信对端的通信关系信息) , 其中包含该 终端 AID及其通信对端 AID的对应关系信息,如在对端表中保存终端及其通 信对端的 AID。 还可以包括该终端的 AID-RID映射信息, 同时, ASN统一维 护所有终端的通信对端的 AID-RID映射信息。 当然, ASN为每个终端分别维 护其所有通信对端的 AID-RID映射信息也是可以的。
传统 IP网络连接, 边界网关对数据报文的转发处理、 数据报文格式、 信令的 查询和鉴权处理, 移动性管理的处理等等方面。 因此可以将 SILSN架构应用 在现有的 WCDMA核心网中实现移动性管理和业务接入, 可以有效地解决 WCDMA存在的上述问题。
但是, 已有技术对于如何在 WCDMA系统的切换过程中支持终端的身份 标识与位置分离, 避免出现路由迂回, 都没有提出相应的实现方案。

本发明的较佳实施方式
下面结合附图和具体实施例对本发明所述技术方案作进一步的详细描 述, 以使本领域的技术人员可以更好的理解本发明并能予以实施, 但所举实 施例不作为对本发明的限定。
本发明将上述 SILSN架构应用于 WCDMA系统,来实现无固定锚点切换。 根据背景技术记载的 SILSN 架构及其工作原理可以了解, 终端移动发生跨 ASN的切换时, 切入一侧的目标 ASN要为终端分配 RID, 向该终端归属 ILR 发起注册; 切出一侧的源 ASN要删除该终端的 AID-RID映射信息, 并维护 该终端所有通信对端的 AID-RID映射信息。 为了使通信对端发送给该终端的 报文能够迅速路由到目标 ASN,可以向通信对端接入的网关发送 RID更新通 知。 源 ASN还可以向目标 ASN传递该终端的对端信息和 /或所有通信对端的 AID-RID映射信息。 另外, 在切换过程中, 源 ASN需要向目标 ASN转发通 信对端发送给该终端的报文。
在图 5~7中示出了三种具有 SILSN架构的 WCDMA核心网的架构: 架构一, SGSN与 ILR之间具有信令接口, 用于到 ILR注册、 去注册终 端的 RID。 GGSN为终端分配 RID。 GGSN与 ILR之间也具有信令接口, 用 于向 ILR查询通信对端的 RID。 如图 5所示。
架构二, GGSN为终端分配 RID, GGSN与 ILR之间具有信令接口, 用 于到 ILR注册、 去注册终端的 RID, 以及查询通信对端的 RID。 如图 6所示。
架构三, SGSN和 ILR之间具有信令接口, 用于到 ILR注册、 去注册终 端的 RID和查询通信对端的 RID。 GGSN为终端分配 RID, 与 ILR之间没有 直接的信令接口, 通过 SGSN向 ILR查询通信对端的 RID。 如图 7所示。
以上三种架构中, 由 GGSN分配 RID, 维护终端的通信对端的 AID-RID 映射信息, 对数据报文进行 RID封装和解 RID封装, GGSN之间的报文通过 广义转发平面(可由支持 RID路由和转发的分组数据网络实现)路由和转发。 终端的对端信息可以在 SGSN和 /或 GGSN上维护。
对于图 lb所示的直连隧道的情况, 并不影响上述三种架构的划分。 上述 架构都存在如何进行系统内切换的问题, SGSN间的切换会导致 SGSN的变 化, 以及可能的 GGSN的变化。 本发明并不局限于上述三种架构。 由于无线 接入网可能釆用其他的结构,在其他架构中目标 RNC可能是其他的无线侧网 元。
在基于以上 WCDMA核心网架构的重定位准备过程中, GGSN不再需要 锚定,新 SGSN可以选择新的 GGSN。按照 GGSN是否发生改变,分为 GGSN 和 SGSN均改变, 以及 GGSN不变, SGSN改变两种场景。
实施例一和实施例二针对的是 GGSN不变的场景, 在 SGSN中维护终端 的对端信息, 在重定位过程中前 SGSN需将切出终端的对端信息传送到新 SGSN。 如果在 GGSN中维护对端信息, 重定位流程同现有技术, 不作改变。
下文主要针对为实现无固定锚点切换而在原有系统上进行的改进加以描 述, 包括相关的功能和流程。
文中, 在描述某网元作为原侧网元对终端切换进行处理时, 称该终端为 切出终端; 在描述某网元作为目标侧网元对终端切换进行处理时, 称该终端 为切入终端。 文中, 还将终端的通信对端接入的网元简称为对端网元; 另, 在表述某个网元的功能时, 将接入到该网元的用户终端称为终端, 与接入该 网元的用户终端通信的用户终端称为通信对端。
实施例一
本实施例基于的 WCDMA核心网架构可以是上述 3种架构中的任一种, 重定位过程中 GGSN不变。 SGSN保存和维护终端的对端信息。 前 SGSN通
过重定位完成过程向新 SGSN发送的 "转发重定位完成消息" 消息来传递终 端的对端信息。
如图 8所示,本实施例 PS域的联合硬切换和终端跨 SGSN的重定位流程 包括:
步骤 801 : 同现有重定位流程的步骤 301至步骤 310;
其中新 SGSN收到前 SGSN发送的转发重定位请求消息后会判断是否需 要选择新的 GGSN, 本实施例为不需要。
步骤 802: 目标 RNC收到终端发送的 RRC消息如物理通道重新配置完 成消息或无线承载释放完成消息后, 向新 SGSN发送重定位完成消息, 此步 骤同现有重定位流程的步骤 311 ;
步骤 803: 新 SGSN向前 SGSN发送 "转发重定位完成消息" ; 该转发重定位完成消息可以同现有技术的该消息, 也可以在现有技术的 该消息中增加一个指示信息, 用于向前 SGSN索要对端信息。
步骤 804: 前 SGSN收到 "转发重定位完成消息" 后, 将该终端的对端 信息携带在 "转发重定位完成证实消息" 中发送给新 SGSN;
如果前 SGSN没有保存该终端的对端信息, 可以在重定位完成回应消息 中携带没有该对端信息的指示信息。
步骤 805: 新 SGSN向前 SGSN发起 PDP更新, 后续流程同现有技术。 实施例二
本实施例基于的 WCDMA核心网架构可以是上述 3种架构中的任一种, 重定位过程中 GGSN不变。 SGSN保存有终端的对端信息。 前 SGSN通过重 定位准备过程向新 SGSN发送的消息如 "重定位请求消息" 来传递终端的对 端信息。
如图 9所示,本实施例 PS域的联合硬切换和终端跨 SGSN的重定位流程 包括:
步骤 901 : 源 RNC决定发起切换流程, 同步骤 301 ;
步骤 902: 源 RNC向前 SGSN发送重定位请求, 同步骤 302;
步骤 903: 前 SGSN向新 SGSN发送转发重定位请求消息, 消息中携带 原有参数信息和前 SGSN维护的该终端的对端信息;
步骤 904: 新 SGSN判断是否需要选择新的 GGSN, 本实施例中不需要 选择, 因此, 新 SGSN向目标 RNC发送重定位请求, 后续同现有技术。
本步中, 新 SGSN可以根据终端的位置信息和 /或网络配置信息来判断是 否选择新的 GGSN。 例如, 如果新 SGSN和前 SGSN在物理连接上连接着不 同的 GGSN, 那么新 SGSN选择新的 GGSN, 新 SGSN从上下文中可以知道 老 GGSN的地址。 如果新 SGSN和前 SGSN都连接着相同的多个 GGSN, 那 么新 SGSN可以根据终端所在位置区域和 /或 APN来做选择判断。 在一个示 例中, 新 SGSN可以根据终端所在 LAI或 RNC ID, 选择距离该终端最近的 并且是属于同一个 APN的 GGSN。 其他实施例同此。
上述两个实施例的流程中, 前 SGSN是通过现有的消息将对端信息传送 到新 SGSN的, 但本发明并不局限于此, 也可以通过前 SGSN向新 SGSN发 送新的消息来传递终端的对端信息。
以下的实施例均针对的是重定位过程中发生 GGSN变化的场景, 此时涉 及到的与 AID、 RID有关的处理包括: 切入一侧要为终端分配新的 RID, 到 该终端归属 ILR注册该终端新的 RID; 切入一侧或切出一侧向对端网关 (如 GGSN, 也可能是 ISN等边界网关)发起 RID更新。 切出一侧向切入一侧传 递该终端的对端信息。 切换过程中切出一侧向切入一侧对通信对端发送给该 终端的报文的转发可以用图 3a,3b中的现有方式实现, 也可以改由 GGSN之 间的转发隧道来实现。
实施例三:
本实施例基于的 WCDMA核心网的架构为上述架构一和架构三,重定位 过程中 GGSN改变, 由 SGSN到 ILR更新注册终端的 RID, 维护和保存终端 的对端信息, 并从切出侧向切入侧传递。
如图 10所示, 本实施例 PS域的联合硬切换和终端跨 SGSN、 GGSN的 重定位流程包括:
步骤 1001-1003: 同步骤 301-303;
步骤 1004: 新 SGSN收到重定位请求消息, 如选择一个新的 GGSN, 则 和该新 GGSN 交互建立该终端的 PDP承载并将该终端的 AID传送给新 GGSN, 新 GGSN为终端分配新的 RID, 保存该终端 AID和该新的 RID的映 射信息, 并将该新的 RID传送给新 SGSN, 如携带在 PDP承载建立响应中; 如果基于第二种架构, 即只有 GGSN与 ILR间具有信令接口, 新 GGSN 可以在为终端分配了新的 RID后, 或在收到新 SGSN与目标 RNC建立了该 终端的 RAB后,通过向新 SGSN发送的消息如新增的消息向该终端归属 ILR 发送注册请求(属于更新注册) 。 相应地, 新 GGSN不必向新 SGSN传送该 新的 RID, 也不必再执行步骤 1006了。
步骤 1005:新 SGSN与目标 RNC交互,建立该终端的 RAB,同步骤 304; 步骤 1006: 新 SGSN向该终端归属 ILR发送 RID注册请求,携带该终端 的 AID和新的 RID;
该 ILR收到 RID注册请求后, 将保存的该终端 AID-RID映射信息中的 RID更新为该新的 RID, 也即更新了该终端的 AID-RID映射信息。
本步骤可以在步骤 1004后即执行, 但在建立 RAB成功后再发起 RID注 册,可以避免 RAB建立失败后进行重定位取消时,还要到 ILR取消对该终端 RID的更新。
步骤 1007: 新 SGSN向前 SGSN返回转发重定位响应消息, 携带为该终 端分配的新的 RID;
上述步骤 1006发起的 RID注册流程和步骤 1007返回重定位请求响应消 息之间的先后顺序, 本发明不做限定。
步骤 1008: 前 SGSN收到重定位请求响应后, 根据维护的该终端的对端 信息中通信对端的 AID确定对端网关的地址,向对端网关发送 RID更新通知, 携带该终端的 AID和新的 RID;
SGSN可以才艮据该终端通信对端的 AID, 从本地配置或通信对端归属地
HLR/HSS或 DNS服务器或 ILR查询到对端网关如 SGSN、 GGSN, 边界网关 等的地址信息。 如果是发送到对端 SGSN, 则对端 SGSN还要向相应的对端 GGSN发送 RID更新通知, 对端 GGSN收到该通知后, 将保存的该终端的
AID-RID映射信息中的 RID更新为该新的 RID。
前 SGSN在到对端的 RID更新流程开始后, 对于所有已登记和新登记 的通信对端, 都将向其接入的网关发送 RID更新通知, 以确保该终端所有通 信对端发送的报文都能路由到新 GGSN。 各实施例中, SGSN在维护对端信 息时,如可以通过流实时检测机制和 /或检查该终端的数据报文中的 AID等方 式来发现新的通信对端或需删除的通信对端, 将新的通信对端的 AID登记到 该终端的对端信息中, 将需删除通信对端的 AID从对端信息中删除, GGSN 也同此。 前 SGSN可以在传送该对端信息到新 SGSN后停止维护。 在另一个 示例中, 也可以通过触发一个定时器, 对在此定时器定时期间内收到的报文 进行检测和 /或检查, 定时器到时后的再收到的报文都将丟弃。
步骤 1009: 前 SGSN发送重定位命令消息给源 RNC,执行重定位执行过 程, 同步骤 306到 310;
对上述步骤 1008前 SGSN发送 RID更新通知和步骤 1009前 SGSN发送 重定位命令的先后顺序, 本发明不做限定。
步骤 1010: 目标 RNC检测到 UE发送的 RRC消息如物理通道重新配置 完成消息或无线承载释放完成消息后, 向新 SGSN发送重定位完成消息, 同 步骤 311 ;
步骤 1011 : 新 SGSN向前 SGSN发送转发重定位完成消息, 前 SGSN向 新 SGSN返回转发重定位完成证实消息, 同步骤 313;
前 SGSN通过转发重定位完成证实消息将维护的该终端的对端信息传达 到新 SGSN, 新 SGSN保存该对端信息并进行维护。 在其他示例中, 前 SGSN 也可以通过转发 SRNS上下文消息或其他新增的消息将该对端信息传送到新 SGSN。
步骤 1012:前 SGSN收到消息后,通知源 RNC释放 Iu口,通知前 GGSN 删除相关承载;
前 GGSN 收到删除相关承载的通知后, 还删除本地维护的该终端的 AID-RID映射信息, 删除该终端通信对端中与接入前 GGSN的其他终端已没 有通信关系的通信对端的 AID-RID映射信息。
步骤 1013: 路由更新流程, 同现有重定位流程的步骤 315, 但可以增加 将 HLR/HSS中 GGSN地址更新为新 GGSN的地址, 如果 HLR保存终端的 RID信息的话, 还可以增加对该终端 RID信息的更新。
本实施例切换过程中的数据转发路径可以同现有技术, 前 GGSN收到的 下行报文通过前 SGSN到达源 RNC,再通过源 RNC与目标 RNC之间的转发 通道转发给终端。
上述流程中, 前 SGSN还可以从前 GGSN获取该终端所有通信对端的 AID-RID映射信息, 通过与新 SGSN之间的消息如转发重定位完成证实消息 传送到新 SGSN, 可以与对端信息一起传送。 新 SGSN再将该 AID-RID映射 信息通过 PDP承载建立消息或新增的消息发送到新 GGSN保存。
切换完成后, 终端将通过目标 RNC、新 SGSN和新 GGSN与外部的分组 数据网络通信, 由新 GGSN进行报文的 RID封装、 解封装和转发, 从而实现 了无固定锚点的切换, 可以避免路由迂回。
上述流程还可以有其他的变例, 如下:
变例一
该变例中, 由新 SGSN来发送 RID更新通知, 又有多种方式: 方式一
在步骤 1003 , 前 SGSN通过转发重定位请求消息将终端的对端信息传送 到新 SGSN, 新 SGSN保存该对端信息;
在步骤 1007, 新 SGSN向前 SGSN返回转发重定位响应消息时不携带为 终端分配的新的 RID, 另, 需要根据保存的对端信息向对端网关发送 RID更 新通知。
取消步骤 1008。
本方式下, 前 SGSN传送对端信息之后可以继续进行实时流检测, 将发 现的新的通信对端的 AID通知新 SGSN。 该检测可以在收到转发重定位响应 消息时或再延迟一定时间后结束。
方式二
在步骤 1007, 新 SGSN向前 SGSN返回转发重定位响应消息时不携带为 终端分配的新的 RID;
取消步骤 1008。
前 SGSN收到转发重定位响应消息之后, 通过原流程的消息如转发重定 位完成证实消息, 转发 SRNS上下文消息, 或者通过新增消息, 将维护的该 终端的对端信息传送到新 SGSN, 新 SGSN收到后向对端发起 RID更新。
本方式下, 由于前 SGSN是在新 SGSN或新 GGSN到 ILR更新注册之后 再传送对端信息的, 因此新增的通信对端会将下行报文发送到新 GGSN, 前 SGSN传送后不必再对报文进行检测或检查了。
变例二
该变例中,对端信息在 GGSN中维护,新 GGSN在为终端分配新的 RID, 到该终端归属 ILR注册该终端新的 RID后,通过新 SGSN、前 SGSN向前 GGSN 发送信息请求,前 GGSN收到该信息请求后,将该终端的对端信息经前 SGSN、 新 SGSN传送到新 GGSN。 新 GGSN在到 ILR注册后就可能会收到该终端的 报文, 新 GGSN为该终端分配新的 RID后, 根据收到的该终端的报文对该终 端的对端信息进行维护 (如检测 ^艮文中通信对端的 AID和 /或进行实时流检 测, 此时可能会通过新的通信对端从 ILR查询到新的 RID ) , 收到传送来的 对端信息后, 将收到的和本地维护的该终端的对端信息合并。
上述前 SGSN传送到新 SGSN的也可以是该终端通信对端的 AID-RID映 射信息(包含对端信息),或同时包括对端信息和该终端通信对端的 AID-RID 映射信息。
如果 GGSN之间存在信令接口,上述信息可以直接通过 GGSN之间的信 令接口来传达。
实施例四
本实施例可适用于上述架构一和架构三, 重定位过程中 GGSN 改变,
GGSN维护对端信息和发起到对端的 RID更新,通过 GGSN之间信令接口建 立前 GGSN和新 GGSN之间的转发通道,利用该转发通道转发切换过程中该 终端的下行数据报文。
如图 11所示, 本实施例 PS域的联合硬切换和终端跨 SGSN、 GGSN的 重定位流程包括:
步骤 1101-1303: 同现有重定位流程的步骤 301~303;
步骤 1104~1107: 同步骤 1004~1007, 新 SGSN为该终端选择新 GGSN, 和该新 GGSN 交互建立该终端的 PDP承载并将该终端的 AID传送给新 GGSN, 新 GGSN为终端分配新的 RID并将该新的 RID传送到新 SGSN; 新 SGSN与目标 RNC交互建立该终端的 RAB后,到 ILR注册该终端新的 RID, 并通过转发重定位请求响应消息将该新的 RID传送到前 SGSN;
基于架构二时, 需由新 GGSN分配新的 RID后 , 到 ILR注册该终端新的 RID。
步骤 1108: 前 SGSN向前 GGSN发送信令, 通知该终端 RID发生了更 新, 携带该终端的 AID和新的 RID; 前 GGSN收到该信令后, 与新 GGSN建 立该终端的转发通道, 根据维护的该终端的对端信息向对端网关发送 RID更 新通知,并将该终端的对端信息和 /或该终端的通信对端的 AID-RID映射信息 传送到新 GGSN;
前 GGSN可以根据新的 RID获取新 GGSN的地址信息,从而建立起与新 GGSN之间的转发通道。前 GGSN或新 GGSN中维护有该终端的对端信息和 该终端的通信对端的 AID-RID映射信息, 因此可以直接从本地查找到通信对 端的 RID , 获取对端网关如 GGSN的地址信息。
该步中,也可以由前 GGSN将该终端的对端信息和 /或该终端的通信对端 的 AID-RID映射信息传送到新 GGSN,如通过建立转发通道时前 GGSN发送 到新 GGSN的信令来携带,新 GGSN可以根据传送来的对端信息中通信对端 的 AID发起到相应对端网关的 RID更新流程。 此外, 新 GGSN为终端分配 RID后就可以通过检查该终端的 ^艮文等方式开始对该终端的对端信息进行维 护, 收到前 GGSN传送来的对端信息后, 将收到的和本地维护的该终端的对 端信息合并。该终端通信对端的 AID-RID映射信息可以和连接信息一起传送, 也可以釆用在前 GGSN和新 GGSN分别维护,由新 GGSN进行合并的方式处 理。
前 GGSN与新 GGSN的转发通道建立后,前 GGSN收到的发送给该终端 的报文就直接转发到新 GGSN, 新 GGSN收到后通过新 SGSN发送到目标 RNC, 前 GGSN传送对端信息前可由前 GGSN解 RID封装, 维护对端信息, 之后可由新 GGSN来解 RID封装, 维护对端信息。新 GGSN收到的发送给终 端的数据报文通过新 SGSN发送到目标 RNC。不必再通过源 RNC向目标 RNC 转发数据了。 至于终端发送的数据报文, 在切换到目标 RNC前, 还是经源 RNC、 前 SGSN、 前 GGSN转发到广义转发平面, 在切换到目标 RNC后, 则 可以经目标 RNC , 新 SGSN和新 GGSN转发。
可选地, 前 GGSN在收到上述信令后触发一个定时器, 在定时器到时之 前所有已登记和新登记的通信对端, 前 SGSN都将向其接入的网关发送 RID 更新通知。
步骤 1109, 基本同现有重定位流程的重定位执行过程, 只是釆用 GGSN 之间转发数据的方式, 源 RNC不需要向目标 RNC转发数据;
步骤 1110-1111 , 同现有重定位流程的步骤 311-312;
步骤 1112: 同步骤 1012, 前 SGSN和前 GGSN释放相关资源; 步骤 1113: 同步骤 1013 , 路由更新流程, 增加将 HLR/HSS中 GGSN地 址更新为新 GGSN的地址, 还可以增加对该终端 RID信息的更新。
实施例四的上述流程还可以有其他的变例, 例如:
变例一
该变例与上述流程建立 GGSN之间转发通道的方式不同。 本变例中, 由 前 SGSN在向新 SGSN发送转发重定位请求时, 将前 GGSN的地址信息传送 给新 SGSN, 新 SGSN在与新 GGSN建立该终端的 PDP承载时, 再将该地址 信息传送给新 GGSN, 新 GGSN获取到前 GGSN的地址信息后, 与前 GGSN 之间建立该终端的转发通道。 此时, 前 SGSN不需要将新的 RID传送到前 GGSN, 也不需要发送信令, 告知前 GGSN该终端 RID发生了更新。 此时, 如是由 GGSN发起到 ILR的更新注册,新 GGSN不需要将该新的 RID传送到 新 SGSN。
其他如对端信息传送、 RID更新可以釆用上述流程中提到的方式。 并且,
新 GGSN可以通过检查前 GGSN转发的发给该终端的数据报文中通信对端的 AID, 如发现新的通信对端或 RID更新未成功的通信对端, 向这些通信对端 接入的网关发送或重发 RID更新通知, 保证对端都能够成功更新。 新的通信 对端的 AID也要登记到该终端的对端信息中。 此时, 对前 GGSN收到的下行 数据报文, 可以转发给新 GGSN, 由新 GGSN来解 RID封装。 这对于实施例 四的流程也是适用的。
上述两个实施例的一些技术手段也可以结合起来, 得到新的实施例, 例 如, 在釆用实施例三中由 SGSN维护终端的对端信息和发起到对端的 RID更 新时, 可以同时釆用实施例四及其变例中提到的在 GGSN之间建立转发通道 的方法建立前 GGSN和新 GGSN之间的转发通道,对端信息的传送和 RID更 新方式同实施例三, 而下行数据 文的转发则同实施例四。
实施例五
本实施例在重定位过程中, GGSN改变, 在重定位完成过程再进行 AID 和 RID相关处理。
如图 12所示, 本实施例 PS域的联合硬切换和终端跨 SGSN、 GGSN的 重定位流程包括:
步骤 1201-1210: 同现有重定位流程的步骤 301~310;
步骤 1211 : 同现有重定位流程的步骤 311 , 终端发送 RRC消息如物理通 道重新配置完成消息或无线承载释放完成消息给目标 RNC, 目标 RNC向新 SGSN发送重定位完成消息, 发起重定位完成过程;
步骤 1212: 新 SGSN向前 SGSN发送转发重定位完成消息;
步骤 1213: 前 SGSN向新 SGSN回转发重定位完成证实消息; 可选地, 前 SGSN将该终端的对端信息和 /或该终端通信对端的 AID-RID 映射信息携带在重定位完成确认消息中发送给新 SGSN, 前 SGSN可以从前 GGSN获取上述信息。
步骤 1214: 新 SGSN收到转发重定位完成证实消息后, 为该终端选择新 的 GGSN, 和该新 GGSN之间建立该终端的 PDP承载并将该终端的 AID传 送给新 GGSN, 新 GGSN为终端分配新的 RID, 并传送到新 SGSN;
基于架构二时, 由新 GGSN向该终端归属 ILR发送注册请求; 基于架构 一和架构三时, 由 SGSN向该终端归属 ILR发送注册请求。
新 SGSN会保存收到的对端信息并进行维护, 新 SGSN如收到该终端通 信对端的映射信息, 还需发送到新 GGSN保存, 如通过承载建立的消息或新 增的消息来发送。
步骤 1215: 新 SGSN向前 SGSN发送更新对端信息请求, 携带该终端新 的 RID;
步骤 1216: 前 SGSN收到该新的 RID后, 发起到对端的 RID更新流程, 同步骤 1008;
前 SGSN在步骤 1213如传送了对端信息,可以同时在本地保留该对端信 息, 完成到对端的 RID更新后删除该对端信息。 当然, 在步骤 1213也可以不 传送对端信息,在步骤 1216完成到对端的 RID更新流程后再将该终端的对端 信息传送给新 SGSN如通过更新对端信息请求的响应消息来传送。
步骤 1217: 前 SGSN通知前 GGSN删除相关承载, 通知源 RNC释放 Iu 口, 同步骤 1012。
步骤 1218: 路由更新流程, 同步骤 1013。
实施例五的上述流程还可以有其他的变例, 例如:
变例一
该变例中, 在重定位准备过程中, 新 SGSN在收到前 SGSN发送的重定 位请求消息后, 可以先为该终端选择新的 GGSN, 并和该新 GGSN之间建立 该终端的 PDP承载。在重定位完成过程中, 新 SGSN不再进行 GGSN选择和 建立 PDP承载的处理, 其他同上述实施例五及其他变例。
根据发起到对端的 RID更新的网元的不同, 可以得到以下几个变例: 变例二
该变例中, 在新 GGSN或新 SGSN发起到 ILR的 RID注册流程之后, 由 新 GGSN向前 GGSN, 或者由新 SGSN向前 SGSN请求对端信息, 在收到对 端信息之后, 才艮据收到的对端信息中通信对端的 AID确定对端网关的地址, 向对端网关发送 RID更新通知。
变例三
本变例对端信息在 GGSN上维护, 在实施例五的基础上, 在步骤 1216, 前 SGSN收到新分配的 RID后 ,不发起 RID更新流程, 而是将新的 RID发送 到前 GGSN, 由前 GGSN根据保存的该终端的对端信息来发起到对端的 RID 更新流程,或者由前 GGSN将保存的对端信息传送到新 SGSN后,由新 SGSN 来发起到对端的 RID更新流程。 具体可参照实施例四及其变例。 前 GGSN还 可以根据该新的 RID建立与新 GGSN的转发通道,将切换过程中通信对端发 送给该终端的报文转发到新 GGSN。

由前 SGSN向新 SGSN发送转发重定位完成证实消息或之前发送的消息 如转发重定位请求时, 将前 GGSN的地址信息传送给新 SGSN, 新 SGSN在 与新 GGSN建立该终端的 PDP承载时, 再将该地址信息传送给新 GGSN, 新 GGSN获取到前 GGSN的地址信息后, 与前 GGSN之间建立该终端的转发通 道。

GGSN如通过转发通道建立流程的消息来传送, 前 GGSN收到该新的 RID后 发起到对端的 RID更新, 并将前 GGSN维护的该终端的对端信息传送到新 GGSN。 或者, 由前 GGSN将维护的该终端的对端信息 (和 /或该终端通信对 端的 AID-RID映射信息 )传送到新 GGSN如携带在隧道建立流程的消息中, 新 GGSN根据该对端信息来发起到对端的 RID更新。并且,新 GGSN可以通 过检查前 GGSN转发的发给该终端的数据报文来获知新增的通信对端, 以及 RID更新未成功的通信对端,向这些通信对端接入的网关发送和再次发送 RID 更新通知。
对于联合的小区/ URA和服务 RNS重定位的流程,其与 PS域的联合硬切 换和终端跨 SGSN的重定位流程的区别在于无线侧, 因此不影响上述实施例 的描述。因此,本发明提到的切换可以基于 PS域的联合硬切换和终端跨 SGSN 的重定位流程, 也可以基于联合的小区/ URA和服务 RNS重定位的流程。
