Description

一种进行 LIPA承载接入控制的方法、 系统和设备 本申请要求在 2011年 6月 8日提交中国专利局、 申请号为 201110152108.9、 发明名称 为"一种进行 LIPA承载接入控制的方法、 系统和设备"的中国专利申请的优先权, 其全部内 容通过引用结合在本申请中。 技术领域
本发明涉及无线通信技术领域, 特别涉及一种进行 LIPA承载接入控制的方法、 系统 和设备。 背景技术
在目前协议中支持 UE (用户设备 )通过 H(e) B ( (演进的) 家庭基站)接入到家庭 或者企业 IP网, 而不需要通过运营商网络传递用户数据。 如图 1A所示为 UE通过 LIPA ( Local IP Access, 本地 IP接入) 方式接入的架构图。
在 LIPA架构中, L-GW ( Local-Gateway, 本地网关)位于家庭或者企业内部, 通过 SGi接口连接家庭或者企业 IP网。 在 LIPAPDN ( Packet Data Network, 分组数据网 )连接 建立过程中, L-GW功能与 PGW ( PDN GW, 分组数据网关)类似。 当 UE请求建立 LIPA PDN连接时, MME ( Mobility Management Entity, 移动性管理实体 )为 UE选择到 L-GW, 并向 SGW以及 LGW发送请求信息。 LGW向 SGW返回响应消息, SGW收到后会向 MME 返回响应消息。 MME请求 HeNB为 UE建立这一 LIPA PDN连接缺省承载的 S 1和空口承 载。 HeNB除了建立 S1接口以及空口承载外, HeNB与 L-GW之间还会建立一条直接隧道。 当 UE在连接态传递 LIPA数据时, 数据会从 UE传递到 HeNB , 在通过 HeNB与 L-GW之 间的直接隧道传递到 L-GW, 而不经过 SGW。 当下行数据到达 L-GW时, L-GW也会通过 L-GW与 HeNB之间的直接隧道将数据发送到 HeNB而不需要经过 SGW的传递。 L-GW与 SGW之间建立的 S5接口只有在 UE进入到空闲态时才会使用。 当 UE进入空闲状态时, HeNB与 L-GW之间的直接隧道将被拆除, L-GW只保留到 SGW之间的 S5连接。当 L-GW 收到 LIPA PDN连接的下行数据时, L-GW将收到的第一个数据包通过 S5接口传递到 SGW, 触发正常的 paging (寻呼)过程, 而除了第一个数据包外的所有数据包都将保留在 L-GW。 当 UE收到寻呼并进入连接态后, HeNB与 L-GW之间的直接隧道将重新建立。 SGW将收 到从 L-GW发送的第一个数据包发送到 HeNB ,而剩下的其他数据包则由 L-GW通过 L-GW 与 HeNB之间的直接隧道传递给 He B。
目前有些大型企业可能需要部署 HeNB以及 L-GW用于支持企业员工通过 LIPA方式 访问企业内部网络。 然而由于 HeNB的容量和覆盖范围有限, 因此存在一个企业网中部署 多个 HeNB的场景。 UE通过这些 HeNB都可以连接到 L-GW从而访问企业内网。 目前 3GPP ( 3rd Generation Partnership Project, 第三代移动通信标准化组织)协议提 出对于 LIPA连接的移动性需求, 要求 UE在同一本地 IP网络下的不同 HeNB之间移动时 能够保持 LIPA连接的连续性。如图 1B所示,假设下图中四个 HeNB都属于同一个本地网 络, 若 UE激活了 LIPA连接, 当 UE在下面 4个 HeNB之间发生移动时, 无论是空闲态还 是连接态, UE的 LIPA连接不能因为 UE的移动而造成 LIPA连接释放。
目前协议中规定, 允许相同 CSG ( Close Subscriber Group, 闭和签约用户组)的 HeNB 之间建立 X2接口或 Iur接口, 而不同 CSG之间的 HeNB则不允许建立基站之间的 X2接 口和 Iur接口接口。 因此当 UE在同一 CSG下的不同 HeNB之间发生移动时, source (源) HeNB可以发起 X2接口切换或 Iur接口切换, 而在不同 CSG下的 HeNB之间发生移动时, source HeNB则只能发起 S 1接口切换。
但是对于本地 IP网络与 CSG之间的关系,可能存在一种情况是某一 CSG覆盖了多个 不同本地网络的场景, 当 UE在不同本地网络对应的家庭基站之间移动时, 虽然这些基站 都有相同的 CSG, 但是 UE的 LIPA连接仍然不能保持。
综上所述, 目前的切换过程中对于 UE在相同 CSG小区移动, 但是移动到了新的本地 网络时, 还没有一种处理 LIPA连接的方案。 发明内容

下面结合说明书附图对本发明实施例作进一步详细描述。
如图 2所示, 本发明实施例 LIPA承载接入控制的系统包括: 第一网络侧设备 10和第 二网络侧设备 20。
第一网络侧设备 10 , 用于在收到来自第二网络侧设备 20的通知消息后, 判断用户设 备切换后的目标基站与为用户设备建立 LIPA连接的 LGW之间是否有 IP连接, 并在确定 目标基站与 LGW之间有 IP连接后, 执行接口切换过程;
第二网络侧设备 20, 用于确定进行接口切换的用户设备, 向第一网络侧设备 10发送 通知消息;
其中, 用户设备所属的源基站和目标基站的 CSG相同, 且都支持同一种接口切换。 在实施中, 如果第一网络侧设备 10是用户设备切换后的目标基站, 则第二网络侧设 备 20是用户设备所属的源基站(即切换之前的基站, 下同), 通知消息是切换请求消息; 如果第一网络侧设备 10是为用户设备建立 LIPA连接的 LGW, 则第二网络侧设备 20 是用户设备所属的源基站, 通知消息包含目标基站信息;
如果第一网络侧设备 10是核心网控制实体, 则第二网络侧设备 20是用户设备切换后 的目标基站, 通知消息是路径倒换信息。
下面分别进行详细说明。
情况一、 第一网络侧设备 10是用户设备切换后的目标基站, 则第二网络侧设备 20是 用户设备所属的源基站, 通知消息是切换请求消息。
较佳地, 源基站在确定有用户设备需要进行切换, 并且用户设备所属的源基站和目标 基站的 CSG相同,且都支持同一种接口切换后,查看需要进行切换的用户设备是否有激活 的 LIPA^ 载;
如果有, 则源基站在切换请求消息中增加为用户设备建立 LIPA连接的 LGW的信息; 否则, 不在切换请求消息中增加为用户设备建立 LIPA连接的 LGW的信息。
较佳地, 为用户设备建立 LIPA连接的 LGW的信息可以是 LGW的 IP地址、 LGW的 名称或其他能够唯一标识该 LGW的信息。
较佳地, 切换请求消息中还包括用户设备激活的承载信息和上下文信息。

LIPA连接的 LGW的信息, 则确定进行切换的用户设备有激活的 LIPA承载; 如果切换请 求消息中没有为用户设备建立 LIPA连接的 LGW的信息,则确定进行切换的用户设备没有 激活的 LIPA^I载。
当然,除了上述利用 LGW的信息判断进行切换的用户设备是否有激活的 LIPA承载之 夕卜, 还可以釆用下列方式确定:
如果某一承载是 LIPA 连接, 那么源基站保存这一承载的上下文中会包含关联标识
( correlation id ), 这一 correlation id是非 LIPA承载没有的, 在执行切换时, 源基站会将这 一 correlation id包含在承载上下文中发送给目标基站。 目标基站根据承载上下文中是否有 correlation id来判断这一承载是否是 LIPA承载。
如果目标基站确定进行切换的用户设备没有激活的 LIPA承载, 根据现有切换流程, 目标基站不需要判断是否与 LGW之间有 IP连接, 直接执行后续切换过程, 具体操作可以 参见协议 3GPP TS 36.300。

如果目标基站确定进行切换的用户设备有激活的 LIPA承载, 则进一步判断用户设备 切换后的目标基站与为用户设备建立 LIPA连接的本地网关 LGW之间是否有 IP连接, 如 果有 IP连接 , 执行接口切换过程。
较佳地, 在有 IP连接时, 目标基站执行接口切换过程可以是: 目标基站对包含 LIPA 承载在内的所有从源基站接收到的承载进行接纳判决并向源基站返回切换请求响应消息。 该消息中包含目标基站成功接纳的承载列表和 /或目标基站接纳失败的承载列表。 目标基 站不用区分成功接纳的承载列表中每个承载是否是 LIPA承载, 都按照一般承载进行操作。 即, 如果目标基站对 LIPA承载接纳成功, 则在基站成功接纳的承载列表中包含 LIPA承载 返回给源基站。 如果目标基站对 LIPA承载接纳不成功, 则在目标基站接纳失败的承载列 表中包含 LIPA承载返回给源基站。 具体操作可以参见协议 3GPP TS 36.300。
较佳地, 如果目标基站与 LGW之间没有 IP连接, 则目标基站拒绝接纳 LIPA连接相 关的承载, 向源基站返回包含接纳 LIPA连接失败信息的切换请求响应消息。 比如在切换 请求响应消息的目标基站接纳失败的承载列表中包含 LIPA连接相关的承载 ID; 还可以在 目标基站成功接纳的承载列表中不包含 LIPA连接相关的承载 ID。 然后目标基站按照一般 承载进行操作 , 具体操作可以参见协议 3GPP TS 36.300。
较佳地, 如果目标基站与 LGW之间没有 IP连接, 则源基站可以在用户设备切换前通 过 LGW删除用户设备的所有 LIPA连接,或者核心网控制实体在用户设备切换完成后通过 源 SGW ( Serving GW, 服务网关)删除用户设备的所有 LIPA连接。

其中, 目标基站信息可以是目标小区标识、 目标基站 IP地址、 目标基站名称或其他能 够唯一标识目标基站的信息。
相应的, LGW根据收到的来自源基站的目标基站信息, 确定对应的目标基站后判断 用户设备切换后的目标基站与为用户设备建立 LIPA连接的本地网关 LGW之间是否有 IP 连接, 如果有 IP连接, 执行接口切换过程。
较佳地, 在有 IP连接时, LGW执行接口切换过程可以是: 通知源基站, 目标基站与 LGW之间有 IP连接, 比如在返回给源基站的响应消息中指示目标基站与 LGW之间有 IP 连接。
源基站在确定目标基站与 LGW之间有 IP连接后, 发起包含 LIPA连接承载切换的接 口切换过程。 较佳地, 源基站发起包含 LIPA连接承载切换的接口切换过程可以是向目标基站发送 包含 LIPA承载信息的切换请求消息; 目标基站在收到切换请求消息后, 不用区分是否含 有 LIPA承载信息,都按照一般承载进行操作。具体目标基站的操作可以参见协议 3GPP TS 36.300。
较佳地, 在目标基站与为用户设备建立 LIPA连接的 LGW之间没有 IP连接后, LGW 通知源基站目标基站与 LGW之间没有 IP连接, 比如在返回给源基站的响应消息中指示目 标基站与 LGW之间没有 IP连接。
源基站在确定目标基站与 LGW之间没有 IP连接后, 发起不包含 LIPA连接承载切换 的接口切换过程。
较佳地, 源基站发起不包含 LIPA连接承载切换的接口切换过程可以是向目标基站发 送不包含 LIPA承载信息的切换请求消息; 目标基站在收到切换请求消息后, 都按照一般 承载进行操作。 具体目标基站的操作可以参见协议 3GPP TS 36.300。
较佳地, 如果目标基站与 LGW之间没有 IP连接, 则源基站可以在用户设备切换前通 过 LGW删除用户设备的所有 LIPA连接,或者核心网控制实体在用户设备切换完成后通过 源 SGW删除用户设备的所有 LIPA连接。
用户设备的所有 LIPA连接包括: 源 SGW、 LGW以及核心网控制实体中为用户设备 分配的 LIPA连接相关的信息。
情况三、 第一网络侧设备 10是核心网控制实体, 第二网络侧设备 20是用户设备切换 后的目标基站, 通知消息是路径倒换信息。
较佳地, 源基站发起包含 LIPA承载信息的接口切换过程; 当用户设备切换到目标基 站后, 目标基站向核心网控制实体发送路径倒换信息;
核心网控制实体接收来自目标基站的路径倒换信息后, 判断进行切换的用户设备是否 有激活的 LIPA承载;
如果没有激活的 LIPA承载, 核心网控制实体不用进一步判断用户设备切换后的目标 基站与 LGW之间是否有 IP连接, 而是继续执行后面的切换过程, 具体操作可以参见协议 3GPP TS 36.300。
如果有, 核心网控制实体进一步判断用户设备切换后的目标基站与为用户设备建立 LIPA连接的本地网关 LGW之间是否有 IP连接, 如果有 IP连接, 执行接口切换过程。
较佳地, 在有 IP 连接时, 核心网控制实体执行接口切换过程可以是: 核心网对包括 LIPA承载在内所有收到的在目标基站成功接纳的承载进行路径切换过程。执行完路径切换 过程后, 核心网控制实体向目标基站返回包含核心网成功执行路径切换的承载列表和 /或 没有成功执行路径切换的承载列表的路径切换确认信息。 如果 LIPA承载在核心网成功完 成路径切换过程,则在成功执行路径切换的承载列表中包含 LIPA承载 ID,反之,如果 LIPA 承载在核心网路径切换失败, 则在没有成功执行路径切换的承载列表中将包含 LIPA承载 的 id。 然后目标基站不用区分成功接纳的承载列表中每个承载是否是 LIPA承载, 都按照 一般承载进行操作 , 具体操作可以参见协议 3GPP TS 23.401。

如图 5所示, 本发明实施例第一种 LIPA承载接入控制的方法包括下列步骤: 步骤 501、 第一网络侧设备在收到通知消息后, 判断用户设备切换后的目标基站与为 用户设备建立 LIPA连接的 LGW之间是否有 IP连接;
步骤 502、 第一网络侧设备在确定目标基站与 LGW之间有 IP连接后, 执行接口切换 过程;
其中, 用户设备所属的源基站和目标基站的 CSG相同, 且都支持同一种接口切换。 在实施中, 如果第一网络侧设备是用户设备切换后的目标基站, 则第二网络侧设备是 用户设备所属的源基站, 通知消息是切换请求消息;
如果第一网络侧设备是为用户设备建立 LIPA连接的 LGW, 则第二网络侧设备是用户 设备所属的源基站, 通知消息中包含目标基站信息;
如果第一网络侧设备是核心网控制实体, 则第二网络侧设备是用户设备切换后的目标 基站, 通知消息是路径倒换信息。
下面分别进行详细说明。
情况一、 第一网络侧设备是用户设备切换后的目标基站, 则第二网络侧设备是用户设 备所属的源基站, 通知消息是切换请求消息。
较佳地, 目标基站在收到切换请求消息后, 如果切换请求消息中有为用户设备建立
LIPA连接的 LGW的信息, 则确定进行切换的用户设备有激活的 LIPA承载; 如果切换请 求消息中没有为用户设备建立 LIPA连接的 LGW的信息,则确定进行切换的用户设备没有 激活的 LIPA ^ 载。
当然,除了上述利用 LGW的信息判断进行切换的用户设备是否有激活的 LIPA承载之 夕卜, 还可以釆用下列方式确定:
如果某一承载是 LIPA连接,那么源基站保存这一承载的上下文中会包含 correlation id, 这一 correlation id是非 LIPA承载没有的,在执行切换时, 源基站会将这一 correlation id包 含在承载上下文中发送给目标基站。 目标基站根据承载上下文中是否有 correlation id来判 断这一承载是否是 LIPA承载。
如果目标基站确定进行切换的用户设备没有激活的 LIPA承载, 根据现有切换流程, 目标基站不需要判断是否与 LGW之间有 IP连接, 直接执行后续切换过程, 具体操作可以 参见协议 3GPP TS 36.300。
较佳地,在切换请求中传递 LGW的信息可以通知目标基站 LIPA连接的 LGW是哪一 个, 源基站告诉目标基站 LGW的信息, 如 LGW的 IP address, LGW name等信息, 目标 基站能够查询与这一 LGW是否有 IP连接。
如果目标基站确定进行切换的用户设备有激活的 LIPA承载, 则进一步判断用户设备 切换后的目标基站与为用户设备建立 LIPA连接的本地网关 LGW之间是否有 IP连接, 如 果有 IP连接, 执行接口切换过程。
较佳地, 在有 IP连接时, 目标基站执行接口切换过程可以是: 目标基站对包含 LIPA 承载在内的所有从源基站接收到的承载进行接纳判决并向源基站返回切换请求响应消息, 该消息中包含目标基站成功接纳的承载列表(其中包括激活的 LIPA承载)和 /或目标基 站接纳失败的承载列表(其中不包括激活的 LIPA承载), 然后目标基站不用区分成功接纳 的承载列表中每个承载是否是 LIPA承载, 都按照一般承载进行操作。 即, 如果目标基站 对 LIPA承载接纳成功, 则在基站成功接纳的承载列表中包含 LIPA承载返回给源基站。 如 果目标基站对 LIPA承载接纳不成功,则在目标基站接纳失败的承载列表中包含 LIPA承载 返回给源基站。 具体操作可以参见协议 3GPP TS 36.300。
较佳地, 如果目标基站与 LGW之间没有 IP连接, 则目标基站拒绝接纳 LIPA连接相 关的承载, 向源基站返回包含接纳 LIPA连接失败信息的切换请求响应消息。 比如在切换 请求响应消息的目标基站接纳失败的承载列表中包含 LIPA连接相关的承载 ID; 还可以在 目标基站成功接纳的承载列表中不包含 LIPA连接相关的承载 ID。 然后目标基站按照一般 承载进行操作 , 具体操作可以参见协议 3GPP TS 36.300。
较佳地, 如果目标基站与 LGW之间没有 IP连接, 则源基站可以在用户设备切换前通 过 LGW删除用户设备的所有 LIPA连接,或者核心网控制实体在用户设备切换完成后通过 源 SGW删除用户设备的所有 LIPA连接。
用户设备的所有 LIPA连接包括: 源 SGW、 LGW以及核心网控制实体中为用户设备 分配的 LIPA连接。
情况二、 第一网络侧设备是为用户设备建立 LIPA连接的 LGW , 第二网络侧设备是用 户设备所属的源基站, 通知消息包含目标基站信息。
较佳地, LGW根据收到的来自源基站的目标基站信息, 确定对应的目标基站后判断 用户设备切换后的目标基站与为用户设备建立 LIPA连接的本地网关 LGW之间是否有 IP 连接, 如果有 IP连接, 执行接口切换过程。
较佳地, 在有 IP连接时, LGW执行接口切换过程可以是: 通知源基站, 目标基站与 LGW之间有 IP连接, 比如在返回给源基站的响应消息中指示目标基站与 LGW之间有 IP 连接。
源基站在确定目标基站与 LGW之间有 IP连接后, 发起包含 LIPA连接承载切换的接 口切换过程。
较佳地, 源基站发起包含 LIPA连接承载切换的接口切换过程可以是向目标基站发送 包含 LIPA承载信息的切换请求消息; 目标基站在收到切换请求消息后, 不用区分是否含 有 LIPA承载信息,都按照一般承载进行操作。具体目标基站的操作可以参见协议 3GPP TS 36.300。
较佳地, 在目标基站与为用户设备建立 LIPA连接的 LGW之间没有 IP连接后, LGW 通知源基站目标基站与 LGW之间没有 IP连接, 比如在返回给源基站的响应消息中指示目 标基站与 LGW之间没有 IP连接。
源基站在确定目标基站与 LGW之间没有 IP连接后, 发起不包含 LIPA连接承载切换 的接口切换过程。
较佳地, 源基站发起不包含 LIPA连接承载切换的接口切换过程可以是向目标基站发 送不包含 LIPA承载信息的切换请求消息; 目标基站在收到切换请求消息后, 都按照一般 承载进行操作。 具体目标基站的操作可以参见协议 3GPP TS 36.300。
较佳地, 如果目标基站与 LGW之间没有 IP连接, 则源基站可以在用户设备切换前通 过 LGW删除用户设备的所有 LIPA连接,或者核心网控制实体在用户设备切换完成后通过 源 SGW删除用户设备的所有 LIPA连接。
用户设备的所有 LIPA连接包括: 源 SGW、 LGW以及核心网控制实体中为用户设备 分配的 LIPA连接相关信息。
情况三、 第一网络侧设备是核心网控制实体, 第二网络侧设备是用户设备切换后的目 标基站, 通知消息是路径倒换信息。
较佳地, 核心网控制实体接收来自目标基站的路径倒换信息后, 判断进行切换的用户 设备是否有激活的 LIPA承载;
如果有, 核心网控制实体进一步判断用户设备切换后的目标基站与为用户设备建立 LIPA连接的本地网关 LGW之间是否有 IP连接, 如果有 IP连接, 执行接口切换过程。
较佳地, 在有 IP 连接时, 核心网控制实体执行接口切换过程可以是: 核心网对包括 LIPA承载在内所有收到的在目标基站成功接纳的承载进行路径切换过程。执行完路径切换 过程后, 核心网控制实体向目标基站返回包含核心网成功执行路径切换的承载列表和 /或 没有成功执行路径切换的承载列表的路径切换确认信息。 如果 LIPA承载在核心网成功完 成路径切换过程,则在成功执行路径切换的承载列表中包含 LIPA承载 ID,反之,如果 LIPA 承载在核心网路径切换失败, 则在没有成功执行路径切换的承载列表中将包含 LIPA承载 的 id。 然后目标基站不用区分成功接纳的承载列表中每个承载是否是 LIPA承载, 都按照 一般承载进行操作 , 具体操作可以参见协议 3GPP TS23.401。
较佳地, 核心网控制实体在确定目标基站与 LGW之间没有 IP连接后, 向目标基站返 回包含接纳 LIPA连接失败信息的路径倒换确认消息。 比如在路径倒换确认消息的核心网 没有成功执行路径切换的承载列表中包含 LIPA连接相关的承载 ID; 还可以在核心网成功 执行路径切换的承载列表中不包含 LIPA连接相关的承载 ID。 然后目标基站按照一般承载 进行操作, 具体操作可以参见协议 TS 23.401。
较佳地, 如果目标基站与 LGW之间没有 IP连接, 则核心网控制实体在用户设备切换 完成后通过源 SGW删除用户设备的所有 LIPA连接。
用户设备的所有 LIPA连接包括: 源 SGW、 LGW以及核心网控制实体中为用户设备 分配的 LIPA连接相关信息。

步骤 602、 第二网络侧设备向第一网络侧设备发送通知消息, 通知第一网络侧设备在 用户设备切换后的目标基站与为用户设备建立 LIPA连接的 LGW有 IP连接时执行接口切 换过程;
其中, 用户设备所属的源基站和目标基站的 CSG相同, 且都支持同一种接口切换。 较佳地, 若第一网络侧设备是用户设备切换后的目标基站, 第二网络侧设备是用户设 备所属的源基站, 通知消息是切换请求消息。
源基站在确定有用户设备需要进行切换, 并且用户设备所属的源基站和目标基站的 CSG相同,且都支持同一种接口切换后,查看需要进行切换的用户设备是否有激活的 LIPA 承载;
如果有, 则源基站在切换请求消息中增加为用户设备建立 LIPA连接的 LGW的信息; 否则, 不在切换请求消息中增加为用户设备建立 LIPA连接的 LGW的信息。
较佳地, 为用户设备建立 LIPA连接的 LGW的信息可以是 LGW的 IP地址、 LGW的 名称或其他能够唯一标识该 LGW的信息。
较佳地, 切换请求消息中还包括用户设备激活的承载信息和上下文信息。

其中, 图 5和图 6可以合成一个流程, 形成另一个的进行 LIPA承载接入控制的方法, 即先执行步骤 601和步骤 602 , 再执行步骤 501和步骤 502。
如图 7所示, 本发明实施例的 X2接口切换示意图中:
1、 当源基站决定将 UE切换到目标基站时, 源基站向目标基站发生切换请求消息, 这 一消息包含 UE在源基站的上下文信息, 上下文信息中包括 UE激活的承载列表, 每一承 载的 QoS信息, 用户面的 TEID ( Tunnel End Point Identifier, 隧道端点标识)等标识; 目标基站收到源基站的切换请求消息后将会对其中包含的承载进行接纳控制, 并返回 切换请求响应消息, 这一消息中可以包含目标基站成功接纳的承载列表和目标基站没有成 功接纳的承载列表(具体 LIPA承载在哪个列表中可以釆用本发明实施例情况一和请况二 的方案);
