Description

一种节电模式下控制信令发送的方法和系统 技术领域
本发明涉及机器类型通信(MTC, Machine Type Communication )技术 领域, 尤其涉及一种节电模式下控制信令发送的方法和系统。 背景技术
现有的蜂窝无线通讯系统如图 1 所示, 主要由核心网 (CN , Core Network ), 接入网 (RAN, Radio Access Network )和终端组成。 核心网负 责非接入层事务, 例如终端位置更新等, 核心网是用户面的锚点。 接入网 包括基站, 或者包括基站以及基站控制器, 接入网负责接入层事务, 例如 无线资源的管理; 基站之间可以根据实际情况存在物理或者逻辑上的连接, 如图 1中的基站 1和基站 2、或者基站 1和基站 3之间的连接, 并且每个基 站可以与一个或者一个以上的核心网节点连接。终端即用户设备(UE, User Equipment )是指可以和蜂窝无线通讯网络通讯的各种设备, 比如移动电话 或者笔记本电脑等。
移动性管理单元在长期演进( LTE, Long Term Evolution ) 网络中是指 移动性管理实体( MME, Mobility Management Entity ), 在第三代移动通信 ( 3G ) 网络中是指服务 GPRS 支持节点 (SGSN, Serving GPRS Support Node ); MME或 SGSN是核心网中负责管理终端接入控制、 位置信息更新 以及切换的单元, 负责核心网到终端的非接入层信令控制, 具备将终端注 册到网络的功能。
归属用户服务器(HSS, Home Subscriber Server )或归属用户位置寄存 器( HLR, Home Location Register )是核心网中负责保存终端设备的签约数 据、身份信息、认证信息和授权信息等的实体。根据不同情况, HSS或 HLR 可用于保存用户的身份信息以及用户和终端设备的绑定信息, 或只保存用 户的身份信息(可由网关保存用户和终端设备的绑定信息), 或直接保存终 端设备的身份信息。 HSS或 HLR还负责用户的签约数据库, 以及执行用户 的身份验证和授权等。 业务平台可从 HSS或 HLR查询用户或终端信息。
在 LTE部署前期, 不可能替换所有原有的 3G网络, 由此可能导致终 端反复在 LTE网络和 3G网络移动, 进而导致反复执行跟踪区更新 ( TAU, Tracking Area Update )或路由区更新 ( RAU, Routing Area Update )过程; 终端移动到 LTE网络时执行 TAU过程, 终端移动到 3G网络时执行 RAU 过程。 这样会造成较大的信令消耗, 因此 LTE终端需要通过减少空闲状态 信令( ISR, Idle state Signaling Reduction )模式来避免大量的空闲状态下与 网络的信令交互。 在 ISR模式下, 终端同时注册在 MME和 SGSN, 这样终 端在 LTE网络和 3G网络之间移动时 (即在 MME和 SGSN之间移动 )不 需要执行 TAU或 RAIL 当有数据到达服务网关 (SGW ) 时, 服务网关需 要向 MME和 SGSN都发送下行数据通知消息,从而 MME和 SGSN都需要 向终端发送寻呼消息。
实际应用中, 部分移动终端并不需要时时与网络通信, 例如快递车辆 上的位置报告终端, 只是在到达某个指定地点或者根据指定的周期报告当 前车辆的位置, 因此对这类终端可以使用节电模式, 在该模式下设定休眠 时间, 在休眠时间内终端不接收任何寻呼消息, 也不与网络进行通信, 只 有在激活时间才收发数据。 当终端进入节电模式时, 不能接收寻呼消息, 而网络在下行数据到达时就会发送寻呼, 此时不仅终端无法收到该寻呼消 息, 还会造成网络反复寻呼而导致的不必要的资源浪费。 发明内容

下面结合附图和具体实施例对本发明的技术方案进一步详细阐述。 考虑到现有技术中当终端进入节电模式时, 不能接收寻呼消息, 而网 络在下行数据到达时就会发起对终端的寻呼, 不仅终端无法收到该寻呼消 息, 还会造成网络反复寻呼而导致的不必要的资源浪费。 本发明实施例提 供了一种节电模式下控制信令发送的方法和系统, 下面结合具体实施例进 行详细描述。
本发明实施例一的节电模式下控制信令发送的方法, 适用于终端在 3G 网络和 LTE网络之间的跨网络移动, 该方法的流程如图 2所示, 主要包括 以下步驟:
步驟 201 , 当前驻扎在 3G网络下的终端移动到 LTE网络时, 终端的服 务节点由 SGSN (即旧移动性管理单元) 变更为 MME (即新移动性管理单 元)。 终端发送 TAU请求信令给 MME, 信令中包含终端的标识, 如终端的 国际移动用户识别码 ( IMSI, International Mobile Subscriber Identification Number )或全球唯一临时标识( GUTI, Globally Unique Temporary ID ), 信 一、 节电参数包括: 激活时间、 睡眠时间; 或
二、 节电参数包括: 激活时间、 节电模式周期。
激活时间, 表示终端可以接收数据和信令的时间; 睡眠时间, 表示终 端不可以接收数据和信令的时间; 节点模式周期, 表示终端在两次激活时 间之间的时长。 其中, 激活时间、 睡眠时间都为时间段。
需要说明的是, 本发明实施例中节电参数的组成形式并非仅限于上述 所举, 节电参数可以只包括激活时间, 还可以只包括睡眠时间和节电模式 周期(节电模式周期减去睡眠时间即可得到激活时间); 实际应用中任何能 够指明终端可以接收数据和信令时间的节电参数组成形式应当都属于本发 明实施例的保护范围。
步驟 202, MME根据 TAU请求中的 SGSN地址, 发送上下文请求信 令给相应的 SGSN, 该信令中包含终端的标识。
步驟 203 , SGSN根据上下文请求信令中的终端标识查询对应终端的上 下文信息, 上下文信息中包含有终端的承载标识、 安全认证参数、 服务网 关(SGW )名称、 服务网关地址、 以及 ISR支持指示。 SGSN将终端的上 下文信息包含在上下文响应信令中发送给 MME。
其中, ISR支持指示的设置方式为:
使用一个标 i只 "Idle mode Signaling Reduction Supported Indication" , 如 果其值设置为 1 , 表示 SGSN和服务网关有 ISR能力; 如果其值设置为 0, 表示 SGSN或服务网关没有 ISR能力。
步驟 204, MME接收到上下文信息后, 发送上下文确认信令给 SGSN。 如果上下文信息中包含 ISR支持指示,且如果 "Idle mode Signaling Reduction Supported Indication" 设置为 1 , 则 MME激活 ISR模式, 在上下文确认信 令中包含 ISR激活指示和节电参数; 其中, ISR激活指示设置为 1 , 表示 MME已激活 ISR模式。
如果 "Idle mode Signaling Reduction Supported Indication"设置为 0、 或 者 MME不激活 ISR模式,则在 MME的上下文确认信令中的 ISR激活指示 设置为 0, 表示 MME未激活 ISR模式, 且上下文确认信令中不包含节电参 数。
SGSN继续保留终端的上下文信息, 并且保存 MME发送的节电参数。 且如果来自 MME的上下文确认信令中的 ISR激活指示设置为 1 , 则 SGSN 自身也激活 ISR模式。
MME和 SGSN根据节电参数在本地设置和启动节点模式定时器: 如果节电参数包含激活时间和睡眠时间, 则启动一个激活定时器, 其 值设置为节电参数中的激活时间; 激活定时器到时后启动睡眠定时器, 其 值设置为节电参数中的睡眠时间; 在睡眠定时器到时后, 激活定时器会再 次启动;
如果节电参数包含激活时间和节电模式周期, 则启动一个激活定时器, 其值设置为节电参数中的激活时间, 并启动一个节点模式周期定时器, 其 值设置为节电参数中的节电模式周期, 且节电模式周期定时器是循环启动; 在节电模式周期定时器的每个周期到时后, 激活定时器会再次启动。
步驟 205, MME根据上下文信息中的 SGW地址, 发送更新承载请求 信令给相应的 SGW。
步驟 206, SGW接收到 MME发送的更新 载请求信令后, 将 MME 的地址包含在本地承载上下文信息中, 发送更新承载响应信令给 MME。
步驟 207, 当有数据发送给终端时, SGW发送下行数据通知信令给 MME和 SGSN, 下行数据通知信令中包含终端的标识。
由于激活了 ISR模式后, 终端在该 MME和 SGSN之间移动不需要执 行位置更新请求, 因此 SGW不能判断终端目前在 MME还是在 SGSN的服 务范围, 从而需要向 MME和 SGSN都发送下行数据通知信令。
步驟 208~209, MME和 SGSN根据下行数据通知信令中的终端标识查 找本地保存的相应终端的节电参数, 并进行以下判断:
如果当前处于终端的激活时间 ,即激活定时器已启动,则 MME和 SGSN 向 SGW发送下行数据通知确认信令, 该信令中指示将立即发送寻呼消息; MME和 SGSN发送寻呼消息给终端;
如果当前处于终端的睡眠时间, 即激活定时器未启动或睡眠定时器已 启动, 则 MME和 SGSN发送下行数据通知确认信令给 SGW, 该信令中包 含终端的标识和延迟指示。
延迟指示的值可以设置为略大于当前时间到下一个周期激活时间的时 长, 例如: 延迟指示的值 =所述时长(即当前时间到下一个周期激活时间的 时长) +4分钟。 其中, 当前时间到下一个周期激活时间的时长获取的方式 为:
如果 MME或 SGSN运行一个节电模式周期定时器, 则该时长可以设 置为节电模式周期定时器的剩余时间;
如果 MME或 SGSN运行一个睡眠定时器, 则该时长可以设置为睡眠 定时器的剩余时间。
SGW接收到下行数据通知确认信令后, 根据信令中延迟指示的值, 在 该时间内不再发送下行数据通知信令, 并緩存终端的数据。 相应的, MME 和 SGSN不立即发送寻呼消息给终端, 而是在终端的激活时间到来时, 再 发送寻呼消息给终端。
需要说明的是, 由于 MME和 SGSN都保存了终端的上下文信息, 因 此这两个网元都会认为终端在自己的网络, 因此两个网络都会尝试发送寻 呼消息。一旦一个网元接收到终端对寻呼的响应(发送业务请求),则向 SGW 报告, SGW通知另一个网元停止寻呼。
终端接收到寻呼消息后, 向发送该寻呼消息的 MME或 SGSN发送业 务请求;
收到业务请求的 MME或 SGSN发送上下文建立请求信令给基站, 并 在该请求信令中包含 SGW地址; 基站接收到该信令后, 为终端建立无线承 载,并在完成后向 MME或 SGSN发送上下文建立完成信令; MME或 SGSN 将基站的地址发送给 SGW; SGW将下行数据发送到基站, 由基站发送给 终端。
本发明实施例二的节电模式下控制信令发送的方法, 适用于终端在 3G 网络和 LTE网络之间的跨网络移动, 流程如图 3所示, 主要包括以下步驟: 步驟 301 , 当前驻扎在 LTE网络下的终端移动到 3G网络, 终端的服务 节点由 MME(即旧移动性管理单元)变更为 SGSN(即新移动性管理单元)。 终端发送 RAU信令给 SGSN, 信令中包含终端的标识( IMSI或 GUTI )、 MME的标识、 节电参数。
其中, 节电参数的组成形式可以是:
一、 节电参数包括: 激活时间、 睡眠时间; 或
二、 节电参数包括: 激活时间、 节电模式周期。
激活时间, 表示终端可以接收数据和信令的时间; 睡眠时间, 表示终 端不可以接收数据和信令的时间; 节点模式周期, 表示终端在两次激活时 间之间的时长。 其中, 激活时间、 睡眠时间都为时间段。
需要说明的是, 本发明实施例中节电参数的组成形式并非仅限于上述 所举, 节电参数可以只包括激活时间, 还可以只包括睡眠时间和节电模式 周期(节电模式周期减去睡眠时间即可得到激活时间); 实际应用中任何能 够指明终端可以接收数据和信令时间的节电参数组成形式应当都属于本发 明实施例的保护范围。 步驟 302, SGSN根据 RAU请求信令中的 MME地址, 发送上下文请 求信令给 MME , 该信令中包含终端的标识。
步驟 303 , MME根据上下文请求信令中的终端标识查询该终端的上下 文信息, 上下文信息包含有终端的承载标识、 安全认证参数、 服务网关名 称、 服务网关地址、 以及 ISR支持指示。 MME将终端的上下文信息包含在 上下文响应信令中发送给 SGSN。
其中, ISR支持指示设置方式为:
使用一个标识 "Idle mode Signaling Reduction Supported Indication" , 如 果其值设置为 1 ,则表示 MME和服务网关有 ISR能力;如果其值设置为 0, 则表示 MME或服务网关没有 ISR能力。
步驟 304, SGSN接收到上下文信息后, 发送上下文确认信令给 MME。 如果上下文信息中包含 ISR支持指示,且如果 "Idle mode Signaling Reduction Supported Indication" 设置为 1 , 则 SGSN激活 ISR模式, 在上下文确认信 令中包含 ISR激活指示和节电参数; 其中, ISR激活指示设置为 1 , 表示 SGSN已激活 ISR模式。
^口果 "Idle mode Signaling Reduction Supported Indication"设置为 0、 或 者 SGSN不激活 ISR模式, 则在 SGSN的上下文确认信令中的 ISR激活指 示设置为 0,表示 SGSN未激活 ISR模式,且上下文确认信令中不包含节电 参数。
MME继续保留终端的上下文信息, 并且保存 SGSN发送的节电参数。 且如果来自 SGSN的上下文确认信令中的 ISR激活指示设置为 1 , 则 MME 自身也激活 ISR模式。
MME和 SGSN根据节电参数在本地设置和启动节点模式定时器: 如果节电参数包含激活时间和睡眠时间, 则启动一个激活定时器, 其 值设置为节电参数中的激活时间; 激活定时器到时后启动睡眠定时器, 其 值设置为节电参数中的睡眠时间; 在睡眠定时器到时后, 激活定时器会再 次启动;
如果节电参数包含激活时间和节电模式周期, 则启动一个激活定时器, 其值设置为节电参数中的激活时间, 并启动一个节点模式周期定时器, 其 值设置为节电参数中的节电模式周期, 且节电模式周期定时器是循环启动; 在节电模式周期定时器的每个周期到时后, 激活定时器会再次启动。
步驟 305, SGSN根据上下文信息中的 SGW地址, 发送更新承载请求 信令给相应的 SGW。
步驟 306, SGW接收到 SGSN发送的更新承载请求后, 将 SGSN的地 址包含在本地承载上下文信息中, 发送更新承载响应信令给 SGSN。
步驟 307, 当有数据发送给终端时, SGW发送下行数据通知信令给 MME和 SGSN, 下行数据通知信令中包含终端的标识。
由于激活了 ISR模式后, 终端在该 MME和 SGSN之间移动不需要执 行位置更新请求, 因此 SGW不能判断终端目前在 MME还是在 SGSN的服 务范围, 因此需要向 MME和 SGSN都发送下行数据通知信令。
步驟 308~309, MME和 SGSN根据下行数据通知信令中的终端标识查 找本地保存的终端的节电参数, 并进行以下判断:
如果当前处于终端的激活时间 ,即激活定时器已启动,则 MME和 SGSN 向 SGW发送下行数据通知确认信令, 该信令中指示将立即发送寻呼消息; MME和 SGSN发送寻呼消息给终端;
如果当前处于终端的睡眠时间, 即激活定时器未启动或睡眠定时器已 启动, 则 MME和 SGSN发送下行数据通知确认信令给 SGW, 该信令中包 含终端的标识和延迟指示。
延迟指示的值可以设置为略大于当前时间到下一个周期激活时间的时 长, 例如: 延迟指示的值 =所述时长(即当前时间到下一个周期激活时间的 时长) +4分钟。其中当前时间到下一个周期激活时间的时长获取的方式为: 如果 MME或 SGSN运行一个节电模式周期定时器, 该时长可以设置 为节电模式周期定时器的剩余时间;
如果 MME或 SGSN运行一个睡眠定时器, 该时长可以设置为睡眠定 时器的剩余时间。
SGW接收到下行数据通知确认信令后, 根据该信令中延迟指示的值, 在该时间内不再发送下行数据通知信令,并緩存终端的数据。相应的, MME 和 SGSN不立即发送寻呼消息给终端, 而在终端的激活时间到来时, 再发 送寻呼消息给终端。
需要说明的是, 由于 MME和 SGSN都保存了终端的上下文信息, 因 此这两个网元都会认为终端在自己的网络, 因此两个网络都会尝试发送寻 呼消息。一旦一个网元接收到终端对寻呼的响应(发送业务请求),则向 SGW 报告, SGW再通知另一个网元停止寻呼。
终端接收到寻呼消息后, 向发送该寻呼消息的 MME或 SGSN发送业 务请求;
收到业务请求的 MME或 SGSN发送上下文建立请求信令给基站, 并 在该请求信令中包含 SGW地址,基站接收到该信令后, 为终端建立无线承 载,并在完成后向 MME或 SGSN发送上下文建立完成信令; MME或 SGSN 将基站的地址发送给 SGW; SGW将下行数据发送到基站, 由基站发送给 终端。
本发明实施例三的节电模式下控制信令发送的方法,适用于终端在 LTE 网络内部的跨跟踪区移动, 该方法的流程如图 4所示, 主要包括以下步驟: 步驟 401 ,跟踪区是网络用于管理终端所处位置而划分的范围区域, 终 端注册到网络以后会被分配在一个跟踪区, 在终端移动过程中, 可能移动 到一个新的跟踪区。 当终端移动到新的跟踪区时, 终端发送 TAU请求信令给新跟踪区的 MME, 该信令中包含节电参数。
其中, 节电参数的组成形式可以是:
一、 节电参数包括: 激活时间、 睡眠时间; 或
二、 节电参数包括: 激活时间、 节电模式周期。
激活时间, 表示终端可以接收数据和信令的时间; 睡眠时间, 表示终 端不可以接收数据和信令的时间; 节点模式周期, 表示终端在两次激活时 间之间的时长。 其中, 激活时间、 睡眠时间都为时间段。
需要说明的是, 本发明实施例中节电参数的组成形式并非仅限于上述 所举, 节电参数可以只包括激活时间, 还可以只包括睡眠时间和节电模式 周期(节电模式周期减去睡眠时间即可得到激活时间); 实际应用中任何能 够指明终端可以接收数据和信令时间的节电参数组成形式应当都属于本发 明实施例的保护范围。
步驟 402, 新 MME根据 TAU请求中的旧 MME地址, 发送上下文请 求信令给旧 MME, 该信令中包含终端的标识( IMSI或 GUTI )0
步驟 403 , 旧 MME根据新 MME发送的终端标识查询该终端的上下文 信息, 上下文信息包含有终端的承载标识、 安全认证参数、 服务网关名称、 服务网关地址;旧 MME将终端的上下文信息包含在上下文响应信令中发送 给新 MME。
步驟 404, 新 MME接收到上下文信息后, 发送上下文确认信令给旧 MME。
