Description

一种小区切换的寻址方法以及寻址装置
本申请要求在 2012年 3月 21 日提交中国专利局、 申请号为 201210076742.3、 发明名称 为"一种小区切换的寻址方法以及寻址装置"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
本发明涉及通信技术领域, 尤其涉及一种小区切换的寻址方法以及寻址装置。 背景技术
在 LTE-A ( Long Term Evolution- Advanced, 长期演进升级 ) 系统, 为了增加网络覆盖 引入了 RN (中继节点), RN以无线的方式与 De B ( Donor evolved Node B , 施主基站) 相连。 目前, RN应用的一个重要方面是应用在铁路等高速移动环境中, 通过在高速移动 环境中部署 RN, 可以增强车体内的信号盾量, 也可以通过群切换来减少 UE ( User Equipment, 用户设备)的切换次数, 还可以减少 UE进行位置更新的次数, 一般将在高速 移动环境中部署的 RN称为移动 RN。
为了更好的支持 RN的移动性, 可以引入一个提供移动锚点功能的节点, 图 1示出了 部署了移动 RN以及移动锚点后的网络节点关系示意图, 其中, 粗线标注的连接接口表示 与移动 RN相关的接口, 细线标注的连接接口表示与 UE相关的接口。 在图 1中, 移动 RN 通过 DeNB下的施主小区 ( donor cell )接入到核心网, 和核心网没有直接的有线接口, 每 个移动 RN可以控制一个或多个小区。 在此架构下, UE和移动 RN之间的接口称为 Uu接 口, 移动 RN和 DeNB之间的接口称为 Un接口, DeNB与移动锚点之间的接口称为 S1-C 接口, 移动锚点与 RN的 MME ( Mobility Management Entity, 移动性管理实体 )之间的接 口称为 S5接口, 移动锚点与 UE的 SGW ( Serving Gateway, 服务网关)之间的接口称为 S1-U接口, UE的 SGW与 UE的 MME之间的接口为 S11接口。在图 1所示的网络节点关 系示意图中, 移动 RN具有 UE和基站(eNB )的双重身份。 当移动 RN作为 UE时, 移动 RN与网络之间建立了 EPS ( Evolved Packet System, 演进的分组系统)承载, 有自己的控 制面管理节点 MME , 以及网关节点 SGW和 PGW ( Packet Data Network Gateway , 分组数 据域网关) 节点; 当移动 RN作为 eNB时, 移动 RN为接入的 UE提供无线回程链路, 管 理无线资源。
在无线通信系统中引入移动锚点后, 能够带来如下优点:
一方面, 移动锚点能够为移动 RN提供 SGW和 PGW功能, 并且能够为移动 RN建立 EPS承载。 在移动锚点为移动 RN提供 SGW和 PGW功能时, 相当于将移动 RN的 SGW 和 PGW放置在独立的节点中 (即移动锚点), 从而避免移动 RN在移动过程中更换 SGW 和 PGW的处理过程。 并且, 引入移动锚点后, 当移动 RN需要切换到另一个 DeNB时, 移动 RN只更换服务基站(即 DeNB ), 该移动 RN的 MME与目标 DeNB建立 S1-C信令 连接, 移动锚点将移动 RN的 EPS承载的 S1-U隧道从源 DeNB转移到目标 De B。
另一方面, 移动锚点能够提供基于 S1接口或 X2接口的代理功能。 基于此功能, 对于 从移动 RN接入的 UE来说, 在上行方向, 移动 RN将 UE相关的信令发到移动锚点, 由移 动锚点将 UE相关的信令发往 UE的 MME; 在下行方向, UE的 MME将 S1信令先发往移 动锚点, 再由移动锚点发往 UE的服务基站(即移动 RN )。 对于 UE的数据, 在上行方向, 由移动锚点发给 UE的 SGW; 在下行方向, UE的 SGW将 UE的数据发给移动锚点, 然后 由移动锚点再发给 UE的服务基站(即移动 RN )。 所以相对于 UE的核心网设备 (如 MME 或 SGW ), 移动锚点的功能类似于 UE的服务基站, 在此情况下, 当移动 RN切换到不同 的 DeNB之后, UE的核心网设备不能感知到 UE的移动, 从而减少了整个切换过程对 UE 的核心网节点的影响。
图 2示出了另一种部署移动 RN以及移动锚点后的网络节点关系示意图, 该图 2与图 1的区别在于: UE数据从 DeNB直接发给 UE的 SGW, 而不是经移动锚点再发给 UE的 SGW, 从而减少了数据传输的路径, 也减少了移动锚点的数据处理的负担。 基于此架构, 当移动 RN切换到不同的 DeNB之后, UE的核心网需要知道 UE的移动,从而将数据转发 路径转移到新的 De B。 在图 2所示的架构中, DeNB可以为移动 RN提供基于 S1或 X2 接口的代理功能, 即移动 RN和 DeNB建立基于 S1接口或 X2接口的连接, DeNB与移动 锚点建立基于 S1接口或 X2接口的连接。 除上述区别外, 图 2的情况与图 1的情况基本相 同, 具体请参见针对图 1的描述。
在通信系统中, 一个 eNB—般管理多个小区, e B为 UE服务前需要确定其管理的每 个小区的小区标识, 即确定每个小区在 Uu接口使用的小区标识。 具体地, 小区标识主要 包括 TAI ( Tracking Area Identity, 跟踪区标识)和 ECGI ( E-UTRAN Cell Global Identity, 演进的通用陆地无线接入网小区全局标识符; E-UTRAN, Evolved Universal Terrestrial Radio Access Network,演进的通用陆地无线接入网),其中, TAI代表该小区所属的位置区; ECGI 一般由 28比特数据组成, ECGI的前 20比特是所标识的小区归属的基站的全球唯一标识, 剩余的 8比特由所标识的小区归属的基站分配, 在分配该 8比特数据时, 需要保证每个小 区的 ECGI唯一。 当有 UE需要切换到另一个小区的时候, 该 UE的源 eNB会将目标小区 的小区标识携带在切换请求中发往确定出的目标 e B。 目前, 主要是由 OAM进行小区标 识配置, 即由 OAM将为 eNB分配的 TAI和 ECGI配置到 eNB, 其中, OAM需要保证为 每个小区配置的 ECGI不同。 De B可以为从移动 RN接入的 UE提供 SI接口或 X2接口代理功能, 基于此功能, 当 DeNB接入网络的时候, 会与 MME建立基于 S1-C接口的连接, 并与移动锚点建立连 接, 其中, DeNB与移动锚点建立连接有两种方式, 一种是 DeNB视移动锚点为 MME, 在此情况下, DeNB与移动锚点建立基于 S1-C接口的连接; 另一种是 DeNB视移动锚点为 邻基站, 在此情况下, DeNB与移动锚点建立基于 X2接口的连接。
在引入移动 RN以及移动锚点的通信系统中, 面临的一个重要的问题是在面临 UE切 换时如何进行小区寻址, 继续沿用现有通信系统中 UE切换时小区寻址的方法显然是不适 用的, 以下结合现有通信系统中 UE切换时小区寻址的信令交互流程进行具体分析:
图 3示出了现有通信系统中 UE切换时小区寻址的信令交互流程的示意图, 如图 3所 示, 该交互过程主要包括如下步骤:
步骤 301、 UE 在需要进行 S1 切换时, 向其源基站 (Source e B ) 上报测量报告 ( Measurement Report );
步骤 302、 UE的源基站根据 UE上报的测量报告中的测量结果进行切换判决, 确定出 适合切换的目标小区, 并向 UE的源 MME发送切换请求消息( Handover Required ),其中, 切换请求消息中携带确定出的目标小区的 TAI和全球基站标识( Global eNB ID );
步骤 303、 源 MME根据切换请求消息携带的目标小区的 TAI找到目标 MME ( Target MME ), 并向确定出的目标 MME发送前转重定位请求( Forward Relocation Request ), 该 请求中携带目标小区的 TAI和全球基站标识; 其中, 源 MME可以根据目标小区的 TAI去 域名系统 (Domain Name System, DNS)服务器查询服务该 TAI的 MME的 IP地址信, DNS 服务器返回的结果可能是多个 MME, 源 MME可以从中选择一个作为目标 MME;
步骤 304、 目标 MME根据目标全球基站标识确定唯一的目标基站( Target eNB ), 并 向该目标基站发送切换请求(Handover Request ), 该切换请求中携带目标小区的 TAI和全 球基站标识;
步骤 305、 目标基站从切换请求消息中获得源基站选择的目标小区信息, 为 UE预留 资源后, 向目标 MME返回切换请求确认消息 ( Handover Request Acknowledge );
步骤 306、 目标 MME向源 MME发送前转重定位响应( Forward Relocation Response ); 步骤 307、 源 MME向源基站发送目标基站生成的切换命令 ( Handover Command ); 步骤 308、源基站向 UE发送 RRC链接重配置消息( RRC Connection Reconfiguration ); 步骤 309、 UE与目标小区建立 RRC连接, 向目标基站返回 RRC连接重配置完成消息 ( RRC Connection Reconfiguration Complete )进行确认;
步骤 310、 目标基站向目标 MME发送切换通知消息 ( Handover Notify ); 步骤 311、 目标 MME更新 UE的位置信息, 并转换下行数据传输路径。 最后, 目标 MME向源 MME发送前转重定位完成通知 ( Forward Relocation Complete Notification ); 步骤 312、 源 MME向源 eNB发送 UE资源释放命令 ( UE Context Release Command ), 释放 UE的资源。
至此, 现有通信系统中 UE切换时小区寻址的流程结束。
在通信系统引入移动锚点后, 移动锚点一般会部署在 De B与 UE的 MME之间 (如 图 1或图 2所示), DeNB不再与 UE的 MME直接相连, 也即移动锚点屏蔽了 DeNB与 UE的 MME之间的拓朴关系,从而在进行小区切换时, 目标 MME可能无法找到合适的移 动锚点, 移动锚点也可能无法准确地将切换相关的信令发往正确的移动 RN, 从而导致小 区切换过程中寻址的准确性低。 发明内容

为了给出提高小区切换过程中寻址的准确性的实现方案, 本发明实施例提供了一种小 区切换的寻址方法以及寻址装置, 以下结合说明书附图对本发明的优选实施例进行说明, 应当理解, 此处所描述的优选实施例仅用于说明和解释本发明, 并不用于限定本发明。 并 且在不冲突的情况下, 本申请中的实施例及实施例中的特征可以相互组合。
实施例一:
本发明实施例一提供了一种小区切换的寻址方法, 该方法分别针对移动锚点对移动 RN进行寻址的过程以及目标 MME对移动锚点进行寻址的过程给出了具体实现过程, 该 两个实现过程基于的主要原理如下:
一、 目标 MME对移动锚点进行寻址的过程。
目标 MME对移动锚点进行寻址, 即目标 MME在接收到切换请求消息后, 确定目标 移动锚点。 其中, 该切换请求消息中携带 UE要切换到的目标小区的小区标识信息, 即该 目标小区的 TAI以及全球基站标识。 其中, UE切换的目标 MME的确定过程为现有流程, 此处不再详细描述。
具体地, 目标 MME确定用于对该切换请求消息进行后续处理的移动锚点, 主要通过 两种方式:
确定移动锚点的方式一。
目标 MME在接收切换请求消息后, 从接收的切换请求消息中获取该切换请求消息携 带的目标小区的全球基站标识, 并确定出与该全球基站标识对应的移动锚点为目标移动锚 为实现该确定移动锚点的方式一中的处理过程, 系统会预先配置移动 RN对应的全球 基站标识与该移动 RN归属的移动锚点的全球基站标识相同。 具体地, 该配置过程可以由 OAM ( Operation and Maintenance, 操作与维护) 系统进行配置。
确定移动锚点的方式二。
目标 MME在接收切换请求消息后, 从接收的切换请求消息中获取该切换请求消息携 带的目标小区的 TAI, 从分别对应不同 TAI的各移动锚点中, 确定出与该目标小区的 TAI 对应的移动锚点为目标移动锚点。
为实现该确定移动锚点的方式二中的处理过程, 系统会预先为不同的移动锚点配置不 同的 TAI, 即移动锚点不同, 则对应的 TAI也不同。 具体地, 该配置过程可以由 OAM系 统进行配置。
基于上述确定移动锚点的方式一或方式二, 系统会配置移动 RN与归属的移动锚点具 有相同的全球基站标识, 或者, 系统配置各移动锚点分别对应不同的 TAI, 从而目标 MME 能够基于接收的切换请求消息携带的小区标识中包括的相应信息确定出对切换请求消息 进行后续处理的移动锚点, 完成对移动锚点的寻址过程。
二、 移动锚点对移动 RN进行寻址的过程。
移动锚点对移动 RN进行寻址, 即移动锚点在接收到切换请求消息后, 确定用于对该 切换请求消息进行后续处理的移动 RN。其中,移动锚点接收的切换请求消息为 UE切换的 目标 MME发送的。
具体地, 移动锚点确定用于对接收的切换请求消息进行后续处理的移动 RN, 主要通 过两种方式:
确定移动 RN的方式一。
移动锚点从接收的切换请求消息中获取该切换请求消息携带的目标小区的 ECGI, 并 根据目标小区的 ECGI以及预先确定的各移动 RN对应的 ECGI, 确定出与该目标小区的 ECGI对应的移动 RN为目标移动 RN。
为实现该确定移动 RN的方式一中的处理过程, 移动锚点需要预先确定各移动 RN对 应的 ECGI。其中,移动锚点确定移动 RN对应的 ECGI的方式将在后续实施例中详细说明, 此处暂不描述。
确定移动 RN的方式二。
移动锚点从接收的切换请求消息中获取目标小区的全球基站标识以及预先获取的各 移动 RN对应的全球基站标识, 确定出与该目标小区的全球基站标识对应的移动 RN为目 标移动 RN。
为实现该确定移动 RN的方式二中的处理过程, 移动锚点需要预先获取各移动 RN对 应的全球基站标识。 其中, 移动锚点获取移动 RN对应的全球基站标识, 可以由移动 RN 或移动 RN的施主基站上报, 即移动锚点会接收移动 RN或该移动 RN的施主基站上报的 该移动 RN对应的全球基站标识。 并且, 根据本发明实施例一提供的实施方式, 施主基站 能够在检测到管理的移动 RN变化后, 更新移动锚点中保存的移动 RN的信息, 即移动锚 点接收移动 RN的施主基站上报的移动 RN对应的全球基站标识之后, 还可能会接收到该 施主基站在检测到管理的移动 RN变化后上报的变化后的移动 RN对应的全球基站标识, 从而提高移动锚点保存的每个施主基站下连接的移动 RN的全球基站标识的准确性。
基于上述确定移动 RN 的方式一或方式二, 移动锚点能够根据要切换的目标小区的 ECGI信息或全球基站标识, 确定出目标移动 RN, 完成对目标移动 RN的寻址过程。
上述确定移动 RN的方式一中,移动锚点需要预先确定各移动 RN对应的 ECGI,具体 地, 以下对移动锚点确定移动 RN对应的 ECGI的方式进行详细说明。
本实施例一提供了两种移动锚点确定移动 RN对应的 ECGI的实现方式, 以下针对这 两种实现方式分别进行说明:
移动锚点确定移动 RN对应的 ECGI的实现方式一
较佳地, 实现方式一中, 移动锚点确定移动 RN对应的 ECGI, 即移动锚点接收移动 RN上报的 RN对应的 ECGI的组成信息。
较佳地, 移动 RN在上报 ECGI的组成信息时, 可以基于与移动锚点之间的 S 1接口或 X2接口上报, 即移动锚点接收移动 RN通过 S 1接口或 X2接口上 4艮的所述移动 RN对应 的 ECGI的组成信息。
较佳地, 移动 RN可以在检测到 UE需要切换后上报自身对应的 ECGI的组成信息, 即移动锚点接收移动 RN在检测到管理的 UE需要切换后上报的移动 RN对应的 ECGI的组 成信息。
较佳地, 实现方式一中, ECGI的组成信息可以为全部的 ECGI信息, 在此情况下, 移 动 RN是直接向移动锚点上报对应的 ECGI信息。
较佳地, ECGI的组成信息也可以为 ECGI中除全球基站标识之外的比特位数据,在此 情况下, 移动 RN是向移动锚点上报对应的 ECGI中除全球基站标识之外的比特位数据, 也即 ECGI中最后 8比特,通过该上报 ECGI中除全球基站标识之外的比特位数据的方式, 能够有效减少上报的数据量, 从而达到节省网络传输资源的目的。 如果移动锚点接收到的 是移动 RN上报的 ECGI中除全球基站标识之外的比特位数据, 则移动锚点需要进一步根 据自身对应的与移动 RN相同的全球基站标识以及接收的比特位数据 , 确定出该移动 RN 对应的 ECGI,即自身对应的与移动 RN相同的全球基站标识与接收的比特位数据进行组合 得到 ECGI。
其中, 如果移动 RN上报的是完整的 ECGI, 则移动 RN需要从 OAM系统中获取其对 应的 ECGL
通过上述的移动锚点确定移动 RN对应的 ECGI的实现方式一, 主要由移动 RN主动 上 4艮其对应的 ECGI的全部或部分消息, 以便移动锚点能够确定出其各移动 RN分别对应 的 ECGI , 便于根据接收的切换请求消息对移动 RN进行寻址。
移动锚点确定移动 RN对应的 ECGI的实现方式二。
较佳地, 实现方式二中, 移动锚点确定移动 RN对应的 ECGI, 主要由移动锚点进行分 配, 即移动锚点根据自身对应的与移动 RN相同的全球基站标识, 确定出移动 RN对应的 ECGI。
具体地, 移动锚点根据自身对应的与移动 RN相同的全球基站标识, 确定移动 RN对 应的 ECGI之后, 还需要进一步将确定出的 ECGI分别分配给相应的移动 RN, 具体地, 移 动锚点向移动 RN分配 ECGI时, 可以通过 S 1接口或 X2接口, 向移动 RN分配确定出的 与该移动 RN对应的 ECGI的组成信息。
较佳地,当移动锚点通过 S 1接口,向移动 RN分配确定出的与该移动 RN对应的 ECGI 的组成信息时, 具体可以通过 S 1建立响应消息 ( S I Setup Response消息)、 移动性管理实 体 MME配置更新消息( MME Configuration Update消息)或专用 ECGI分配消息, 向该移 动 RN分配确定出的与该移动 RN对应的 ECGI的组成信息。
较佳地,当移动锚点通过 X2接口,向移动 RN分配确定出的与该移动 RN对应的 ECGI 时, 可以通过 X2 建立响应消息 (X2 Setup Response 消息)、 基站配置更新消息 ( e B Configuration Update消息 )或专用 ECGI分配消息, 向该移动 RN分配确定出的与该移动 RN对应的 ECGI的组成信息。
较佳地, 实现方式二中, ECGI的组成信息可以为全部的 ECGI信息, 在此情况下, 移 动锚点通过 S 1接口或 X2接口向移动 RN分配确定出的与该移动 RN对应的 ECGI的组成 信息, 即移动锚点通过 S 1接口或 X2接口向移动 RN分配确定出的与该移动 RN对应的 ECGI。
较佳地, ECGI的组成信息也可以为 ECGI中除全球基站标识之外的比特位数据,在此 情况下, 移动锚点通过 S1接口或 X2接口向移动 RN分配确定出的与该移动 RN对应的 ECGI的组成信息, 即移动锚点通过 S1接口或 X2接口向移动 RN分配确定出的与该移动 RN对应的 ECGI中除全球基站标识之外的比特位数据,由该移动 RN进一步根据自身对应 的与该移动锚点相同的全球基站标识以及比特位数据确定出 ECGI。
通过上述的移动锚点确定移动 RN对应的 ECGI的实现方式二, 主要由移动锚点分配 移动 RN对应的 ECGI, 以便移动锚点能够确定出各移动 RN分别对应的 ECGI, 便于根据 接收的切换请求消息对移动 RN进行寻址。
实施例二:
本实施例二针对上述实施例一提供的小区切换过程中的寻址方法, 给出了几个具体应 用场景下该寻址方法的具体实现过程。
该实施例二提供的应用场景中, 主要基于如下两种预配置:
1、配置移动 RN的全球基站标识与归属的移动锚点的全球基站标识相同,在目标 MME 寻址移动锚点时, MME可以才 居目标小区的全球基站标识寻址到唯一的移动锚点; 或者 2、 配置每个移动锚点的 TAI互不相同, 在目标 MME寻址移动锚点时, MME可以根 据目标小区的 TAI寻址到唯一的移动锚点。
具体实施例 1。
该具体实施例 1对应的应用场景,是基于移动 RN和移动锚点之间直接建立 S1接口的 情况, 且移动锚点基于 ECGI寻址移动 RN, 移动 RN对应的 ECGI由 OAM配置。
图 4示出了该具体实施例 1中进行小区配置与寻址的流程示意图, 具体地, 主要包括 如下步骤:
步骤 401、 移动 RN注册到网络之后, 运营商 (具体可以通过 OAM系统)为移动 RN 配置的全球基站标识等于归属的移动锚点的全球基站标识。
具体地, 移动 RN对应的 ECGI是指移动 RN在 Uu接口使用的 ECGI, 移动 RN可以 从 OAM获取自己在 Uu口使用的 ECGI, OAM需要保证为每个移动 RN分配的 ECGI不同。
较佳地, 移动 RN可以将归属的移动锚点的相关信息 (如 APN ( Access Point Name, 接入点名称))发给 OAM, 从而有助于 OAM为移动 RN分配的 ECGI具备与移动锚点相 同的全球基站标识。
步骤 402、移动 RN与移动锚点之间建立 S1接口,移动 RN将自己在 Uu口使用的 ECGI 通过 SI接口通知移动锚点; 或者, 移动 RN与移动锚点之间建立 X2接口, 移动 RN将自 己在 Uu口使用的 ECGI通过 X2接口通知移动锚点。
较佳地,由于 ECGI—般由 20比特的全球基站标识与 8比特的基站内部分配数据组成, 因此, 移动 RN可以将自己的 ECGI的后面 8比特通知移动锚点即可, 移动锚点可以基于 与移动 RN相同的全球基站标识, 将该全球基站标识与移动 RN上报的 8比特数据组合确 定出移动 RN的 ECGI, 从而减少了传输的数据量, 节省网络传输资源。
较佳地, 移动 RN可以在可能有 UE发生切换的场景才将自己的 ECGI通知移动锚点, 即检测到存在 UE切换需求后上报自己的 ECGI。
步骤 403、UE需要经过 S1切换到移动 RN的时候,切换请求消息被发送到目标 MME, 目标 MME根据目标小区的全球基站标识寻址到与该全球基站标识唯一对应的移动锚点, 并向该移动锚点发送切换请求消息。
其中, 切换请求消息中携带要切换到的目标小区的 TAI以及全球基站标识。
其中, 目标 MME可以才 居目标小区的全球基站标识, 即该 ECGI的前 20比特。 步骤 404、 移动锚点解析收到的切换请求消息, 获得目标小区的 ECGI, 根据目标小区 的 ECGI确定与该 ECGI对应的目标 RN, 移动锚点对切换请求消息进行必要的代理操作 , 例如,将切换请求消息中的用于 MME区分基于 S1接口接入的 UE的标识( MME UE S1AP
ID )替换为本地分配的值, 然后将切换请求消息映射到目标 RN的 EPS承载上, 发给目标 移动 RN。
步骤 405、 目标 RN收到切换请求消息后的操作同现有技术, 向移动锚点返回切换请 求确认消息。
步骤 406、 移动锚点对切换请求确认消息进行必要的代理操作, 例如, 将切换请求确 认消息中的用于基站区分基于 S 1接口接入的 UE的标识( eNB UE S 1 AP ID )替换为本地 分配的值, 然后将该消息发给目标 MME。 后续流程同现有技术。
至此, 该具体实施例 1提供的进行小区配置与寻址的流程结束。
具体实施例 2。
该具体实施例 2对应的应用场景,是基于移动 RN和移动锚点之间直接建立 S1接口的 情况, 且移动锚点基于 ECGI寻址移动 RN, 移动 RN对应的 ECGI由移动锚点配置。
图 5示出了该具体实施例 2中进行小区配置与寻址的流程示意图, 具体地, 主要包括 如下步骤:
步骤 501、 移动 RN注册到网络之后, 运营商 (具体可以通过 OAM系统)为移动 RN 配置的全球基站标识等于归属的移动锚点的全球基站标识。
步骤 502、 移动锚点为管理的移动 RN分配在 Uu口使用的 ECGI。 其中, 移动锚点需要保证为每个移动 RN分配的 ECGI不同, 移动锚点为移动 RN分 配在 Uu口使用的 ECGI (即该移动 RN对应的 ECGI )时, 可以在与移动 RN建立 S 1接口 的时候, 为移动 RN分配 ECGI, 更具体地, 在基于 S1接口为移动 RN分配 ECGI时, 可 以在 S1建立响应消息( SI Setup Response消息)中携带分配的 ECGI列表; 或是移动锚点 通过 S1 接口更新过程为移动 RN 分配 ECGI , 例如在 MME 配置更新消息 ( MME Configuration Update消息)中携带分配的 ECGI列表; 或是通过其他专用的 ECGI分配消 息来分配 ECGI。
移动锚点还可以在与移动 RN建立 X2接口的时候,为移动 RN分配 ECGI,更具体地, 在基于 X2接口为移动 RN分配 ECGI时, 可以在 X2建立响应消息( X2 Setup Response消 息 )中携带分配的 ECGI列表;或是移动锚点通过 X2接口更新过程为移动 RN分配 ECGI, 比如在基站配置更新消息 ( e B Configuration Update消息 ) 中携带分配的 ECGI列表; 或是移动锚点通过其他专用的 ECGI分配消息来分配 ECGI。
较佳地,移动锚点可以只将为移动 RN分配的 ECGI的后面 8比特发送给移动 RN, 以 减少传输的数据量, 节省网络传输资源。
步骤 503、UE需要经过 S1切换到移动 RN的时候,切换请求消息被发送到目标 MME, 目标 MME可以根据目标小区的全球基站标识寻址到与该全球基站标识唯一对应的移动锚 点, 并向该移动锚点发送切换请求消息。
其中, 切换请求消息中携带要切换到的目标小区的 TAI以及 ECGI。
步骤 504、 移动锚点解析收到的切换请求消息, 获得目标小区的 ECGI, 根据目标小区 的 ECGI确定与该 ECGI对应的目标 RN, 移动锚点对切换请求消息进行必要的代理操作 , 例如, 将切换请求消息中的 MME UE S1AP ID替换为本地分配的值, 然后将切换请求消息 映射到目标 RN的 EPS承载上, 发给目标移动 RN。
步骤 505、 目标 RN收到切换消息后的操作同现有技术, 向移动锚点返回切换请求确 认消息。
步骤 506、 移动锚点对切换请求确认消息进行必要的代理操作, 例如, 将切换请求确 认消息中的 eNB UE S1AP ID替换为本地分配的值, 然后将该消息发给目标 MME。后续流 程同现有技术。
至此, 该具体实施例 2提供的进行小区配置与寻址的流程结束。
上述具体实施例 2与具体实施例 1的区别是, 具体实施例 2中由移动锚点为管理的每 个移动 RN分配 ECGI, 因此移动锚点知道管理的每个移动 RN使用的 ECGI, 不需要移动 RN主动通知移动锚点; 具体实施例 1中, 由于移动 RN使用的 ECGI是由 OAM分配的, 移动锚点可能并不知道每个移动 RN使用的 ECGI(除非 OAM与移动锚点之间互通这些分 配信息), 所以需要移动 RN主动将自己支持的 ECGI通知移动锚点。
上述具体实施例 1和具体实施例 2同样适用于基于 X2接口的切换, 在移动锚点和邻 基站建立了 X2接口的情况下, 邻基站将移动 RN小区视为移动锚点的小区, 移动锚点可 以通过 X2接口获得移动 RN支持的 ECGI, 主要处理流程与上述处理流程基本相同, 此处 不再详细描述。
具体实施例 3。
该具体实施例 3对应的应用场景,是基于移动 RN和移动锚点之间直接建立 S1接口的 情况、 且目标 MME基于 TAI寻址移动锚点。
图 6示出了该具体实施例 3中进行小区配置与寻址的流程示意图, 具体地, 主要包括 如下步骤:
步骤 601、 运营商 (具体可以通过 OAM系统) 为每个移动锚点分别配置不同的 TAI 列表。
步骤 602、 移动 RN和移动锚点之间建立 S1-C接口, 移动 RN将自己支持的 TAI和全 球基站标识通知移动锚点。
其中, 移动 RN对应的全球基站标识可以与移动锚点的全球基站标识不同, 但移动锚 点需要支持管理的各移动 RN支持的所有 TAI。
步骤 603、UE需要经过 S1切换到移动 RN的时候,切换请求消息被发送到目标 MME, 目标 MME根据目标小区的 TAI寻址到与该 TAI对应的移动锚点, 并向该移动锚点发送切 换请求消息。
步骤 604、 移动锚点接收到切换请求消息后, 从中获取目标小区的全球基站标识, 根 据目标小区的全球基站标识确定与该全球基站标识对应的目标 RN, 移动锚点对该切换请 求消息进行必要的代理操作, 例如, 将该切换请求消息中的 MME UE S1AP ID替换为本地 分配的值, 然后将切换请求消息映射到目标 RN的 EPS承载上, 发给目标移动 RN。
步骤 605、 目标 RN收到切换消息后的操作同现有技术, 向移动锚点返回切换请求确 认消息。
步骤 606、 移动锚点对切换请求确认消息进行必要的代理操作, 例如, 将该切换请求 确认消息中的 e B UE S1AP ID替换为本地分配的值, 然后将该消息发给目标 MME。后续 流程同现有技术。
至此, 该具体实施例 3提供的进行小区配置与寻址的流程结束。
具体实施例 4。 该具体实施例 4对应的应用场景,是基于移动 RN和移动锚点之间间接建立 S1接口的 情况、 且目标 MME基于 TAI寻址移动锚点。
图 7示出了该具体实施例 4中进行小区配置与寻址的流程示意图, 具体地, 主要包括 如下步骤:
步骤 701、 运营商 (具体可以为 OAM系统) 为每个移动锚点分别配置不同的 TAL 其中, 每个移动锚点需要支持管理的各移动 RN支持的所有 TAL
步骤 702、 当移动 RN切换到一个新的施主基站(DeNB )之后, DeNB将该移动 RN 的全球基站标识通知移动锚点, 即移动锚点保存每个 DeNB下面连接的移动 RN的全球基 站标识。
具体地, 移动 RN可以与 DeNB建立 S1接口或是 X2接口, 从而将自己的全球基站标 识通知 De B。
具体地, DeNB可以通过 S1配置更新过程或 X2配置更新过程将当前与之相连的移动 RN的全球基站标识通知移动锚点(包括有移动 RN切换过来和有移动 RN切换出该 DeNB 的场景)。具体地, DeNB可以在基于 S1接口的基站配置更新消息( SI AP eNB Configuration Update消息 )或在基于 X2接口的基站配置更新消息 ( X2 AP eNB Configuration Update消 息 ) 中增加一个携带移动 RN的全球基站标识的 IE列表。
较佳地, DeNB可以在可能有 UE切换到移动 RN的场景才将移动 RN的全球基站标识 通知移动锚点。
步骤 703、UE需要经过 S1切换到移动 RN的时候,切换请求消息被发送到目标 MME, 目标 MME根据目标小区的 TAI寻址到与该 TAI对应的移动锚点, 向该移动锚点发送切换 请求消息。
步骤 704、 移动锚点收到切换请求消息后, 获取目标小区的全球基站标识, 根据目标 小区的全球基站标识确定与该全球基站标识对应的 DeNB , 将切换请求消息发给确定出的 De肌
步骤 705、 DeNB 收到移动锚点发来的切换请求消息后, 获取目标小区的全球基站标 识, 根据目标小区的全球基站标识确定目标 RN, 将切换请求消息发给目标 RN。
步骤 706、 目标 RN收到切换消息后的操作同现有技术, 向 DeNB返回切换请求确认 消息。 后续流程同现有技术。
至此, 该具体实施例 4提供的进行小区配置与寻址的流程结束。
通过本发明实施二中的技术方案,在 UE经 S1接口或 X2接口切换到移动 RN的时候, 切换相关信令可以正确路由, 从而避免了切换失败的问题, 以及避免了信令错误路由而导 致的通信安全问题。
