Description

移動通信方法及び移動管理ノードMobile communication method and mobility management node
　本発明は、移動通信方法及び移動管理ノードに関する。 The present invention relates to a mobile communication method and a mobility management node.
　ＬＴＥ（Ｌｏｎｇ　Ｔｅｒｍ　Ｅｖｏｌｕｔｉｏｎ）方式では、位置サービス（ＬＣＳ：ＬｏＣａｔｉｏｎ　Ｓｅｒｖｉｃｅ）関連情報である「ＬＰＰａ（ＬＴＥ　Ｐｏｓｉｔｉｏｎｉｎｇ　Ｐｒｏｔｏｃｏｌ　Ａｎｎｅｘ）メッセージ」が、位置情報提供サーバＥ-ＳＭＬＣ（Ｅｖｏｌｃｅｄ　Ｓｅｒｖｉｎｇ　Ｍｏｂｌｉｅ　Ｌｏｃａｔｉｏｎ　Ｃｅｎｔｒｅ）から、無線基地局ｅＮＢに対して、ＬＣＳ-ＡＰ及びＳ１-ＡＰを介して転送されるように構成されている。 In the LTE (Long Term Evolution) method, a location service (LCS) -related information “LPPa (LTE Positioning Protocol Annex) message” is sent from the location information providing server E-SMLC (Evolved Mobile Local). It is configured to be transferred to the base station eNB via LCS-AP and S1-AP.
　具体的には、「ＬＰＰａメッセージ」は、「（ＬＣＳ-ＡＰ）Ｃｏｎｎｅｃｔｉｏｎｌｅｓｓ　Ｉｎｆｏｒｍａｔｉｏｎ」及び「（Ｓ１-ＡＰ）ＵＬ/ＤＬ　Ｎｏｎ　ＵＥ　Ａｓｓｏｃｉａｔｅｄ　ＬＰＰａ　Ｔｒａｎｓｐｏｒｔ」によって転送されるように構成されている。 Specifically, the “LPPa message” is configured to be transferred by “(LCS-AP) Connectionless Information” and “(S1-AP) UL / DL Non UE Associated LPPa Transport”.
　或いは、「ＬＰＰａメッセージ」は、「（ＬＣＳ-ＡＰ）Ｃｏｎｎｅｃｔｉｏｎ　Ｏｒｉｅｎｔｅｄ　Ｉｎｆｏｒｍａｔｉｏｎ」及び「（Ｓ１-ＡＰ）ＵＬ/ＤＬ　Ｎｏｎ　ＵＥ　Ａｓｓｏｃｉａｔｅｄ　ＬＰＰａ　Ｔｒａｎｓｐｏｒｔ」によって転送されるように構成されている。 Alternatively, the “LPPa message” is configured to be transferred by “(LCS-AP) Connection Oriented Information” and “(S1-AP) UL / DL Non UE Associated LPPa Transport”.
　しかしながら、ＬＴＥ方式において、ゲートウェイ装置ＨｅＮＢ-ＧＷが設けられている場合には、位置情報提供サーバＥ-ＳＭＬＣは、移動管理ノードＭＭＥ（Ｍｏｂｉｌｉｔｙ　Ｍａｎａｇｅｍｅｎｔ　Ｅｎｔｉｔｙ）に対して送信する「（ＬＣＳ-ＡＰ）Ｃｏｎｎｅｃｔｉｏｎｌｅｓｓ　Ｉｎｆｏｒｍａｔｉｏｎ」において、宛先情報として「ｅＮＢ-ＩＤ」しか指定できず、移動管理ノードＭＭＥは、ゲートウェイ装置ＨｅＮＢ-ＧＷに収容されている無線基地局ＨｅＮＢの識別情報を管理することができないため、移動管理ノードＭＭＥは、ゲートウェイ装置ＨｅＮＢ-ＧＷに収容されている無線基地局ＨｅＮＢに対して「ＬＰＰａメッセージ」をルーティングすることができないという問題点があった。 However, when the gateway apparatus HeNB-GW is provided in the LTE scheme, the location information providing server E-SMLC transmits “(LCS-AP) Connectionless” to the mobility management node MME (Mobility Management Entity). In “Information”, only “eNB-ID” can be specified as destination information, and the mobility management node MME cannot manage the identification information of the radio base station HeNB accommodated in the gateway device HeNB-GW. The node MME has a problem that it cannot route the “LPPa message” to the radio base station HeNB accommodated in the gateway device HeNB-GW.
　そこで、本発明は、上述の課題に鑑みてなされたものであり、ゲートウェイ装置ＨｅＮＢ-ＧＷが設けられている場合であっても、無線基地局ＨｅＮＢに対して「ＬＰＰａメッセージ」をルーティングすることができる移動通信方法及び移動管理ノードを提供することを目的とする。 Therefore, the present invention has been made in view of the above-described problems, and even when the gateway device HeNB-GW is provided, the “LPPa message” can be routed to the radio base station HeNB. An object of the present invention is to provide a mobile communication method and a mobility management node that can be used.
