- LTE is exemplified as the mobile communication network.
- the mobile communication network may be a network provided by a communication carrier. Accordingly, the mobile communication network may be Release 99 or GSM (registered trademark).
- connection processing is a problem remaining in WLAN / 3GPP wireless interworking. Two options are provided for the operation of the wireless terminal when establishing a connection.
- the wireless terminal holds the individual RAN auxiliary parameter.
- the wireless terminal discards the individual RAN auxiliary parameter.
- the radio terminal discards the individual RAN auxiliary parameter every time another cell is reselected.
- One principle that supports this agreement is that each time a cell change occurs, the target cell takes responsibility for controlling the operation of the wireless terminal. However, at the time of establishing a connection, the wireless terminal is in the same cell only by transitioning from the idle state to the connected state. Therefore, it is still necessary to consider whether or not the wireless terminal discards the individual RAN auxiliary parameter when establishing a connection.
- the wireless terminal holds the individual RAN auxiliary parameter.
- the wireless terminal discards the individual RAN auxiliary parameter.
- the RAN can independently control the radio terminal based on the RAN load, the traffic volume of the radio terminal, the CQI related to the data bearer of the radio terminal, and the like. If the wireless terminal does not hold the individual parameters when establishing the connection, the RAN can provide the same individual parameters to the wireless terminal if the RAN or WLAN state is not changed.
- T350 is set to 180 minutes or more. In this case, it is inappropriate to assume that the RAN or WLAN state does not change until the expiration of T350. And if the RAN or WLAN state changes, it may be necessary to update the wireless terminal with individual RAN auxiliary parameters different from those previously set for the wireless terminal. For example, when the RAN load changes, the RAN needs to be able to update the wireless terminal with new parameters for better wireless terminal control.
- the RAN controls the traffic steering operation of the wireless terminal via either individual signaling or broadcast.
- the RAN can always know which wireless terminal is controlled by dedicated signaling and which wireless terminal is controlled by broadcast.
- the RAN cannot always know which wireless terminal has the individual parameters. This is because a part of the connected wireless terminals holds the previously set individual RAN auxiliary parameter, and the RAN holds the context information of the wireless terminal after the wireless terminal transitions to the idle state. This is because it is assumed that it is not.
- the RAN cannot control the connected wireless terminal that holds the previously set individual parameters. If the RAN intends to fully control all wireless terminals in a predetermined time zone, it must be confirmed that there is no wireless terminal using the previously set individual parameters. For this reason, the RAN is forced to set all connected wireless terminals by dedicated signaling.
- RAN provides the latest individual parameters to the wireless terminal.
- the RAN provides individual parameters and what value is provided is determined by the RAN or WLAN status. When a part of the state is changed, the RAN cannot set the wireless terminal with the individual parameter. Even if the RAN does not set the wireless terminal by dedicated signaling, the value may be changed. If the RAN provides different parameters (easy to select a WLAN), the wireless terminal may switch traffic back to the WLAN, which is a phenomenon that occurs due to the latest RAN condition, which is preferable from the network standpoint. .
- RAN provides the same individual parameters to the wireless terminal.
- the wireless terminal discards the individual parameters, and the RAN resets the wireless terminal with the same individual parameters. Even if the wireless terminal remains in the WLAN coverage, it is doubtful whether the wireless terminal selects the same WLAN.
- One factor that causes the wireless terminal to start establishing a connection is degradation of the WLAN due to a threshold value previously set for the wireless terminal. In this case, the wireless terminal is going to switch traffic from WLAN to RAN. Therefore, even if the RAN sets the wireless terminal with the same individual parameter, the ping-pong phenomenon does not occur.
- a ping-pong phenomenon may certainly occur.
- the ping-pong phenomenon cannot be avoided in some scenarios. More importantly, however, discarding individual parameters can be inline with existing wireless terminals and network operations (ie, the network has full control of the connected wireless terminals). If the RAN congestion is very bad, the RAN can reject the connection of the wireless terminal. This is not new behavior for the network. The network knows that it must take full responsibility for its wireless terminal. The worst situation for the network is that even if a wireless terminal is connected, it cannot be controlled by itself.
- Proposal 1 When a connection is established, the wireless terminal discards the individual RAN auxiliary parameter.
- Proposal 1 When a connection is established, the wireless terminal discards the individual RAN auxiliary parameter.
- the present invention is useful in the communication field.

第1実施形態では、無線端末10は、オフロード処理を行った後にオンロード処理を行った場合に、個別パラメータを破棄する。無線端末10は、個別パラメータを破棄しているため、無線基地局100から判定パラメータとして新たな報知パラメータを受信すると、新たな報知パラメータに基づいて切替処理を行うか否かを判定する。従って、無線基地局100は、報知パラメータを改めて報知することによって、無線端末10の切替処理を制御することができ、無線基地局100が把握できていない個別パラメータを無線端末10が用いる事態の発生が抑制される。

以下において、第1実施形態の変更例2について説明する。以下においては、第1実施形態に対する相違点について主として説明する。
以下において、変更例2に係る通信方法について説明する。図8は、変更例2に係る通信方法を示すシーケンス図である。ここでは、オフロード処理が行われた後にオンロード処理が行われるケースについて説明する。
変更例2では、無線基地局100は、オフロード処理又はアイドル状態への遷移を行った無線端末10に通知した個別パラメータを、オフロード処理又はアイドル状態への遷移が行われてから一定期間に亘って保持する。従って、無線端末10がオフロード処理を行った後にオンロード処理を行った場合であっても、オフロード処理を行った無線端末10に通知した個別パラメータを無線基地局100が保持する可能性が向上する。言い換えると、無線基地局100が把握できていない個別パラメータを無線端末10が用いる事態の発生が抑制される。
本発明は上述した実施形態によって説明したが、この開示の一部をなす論述及び図面は、この発明を限定するものであると理解すべきではない。この開示から当業者には様々な代替実施形態、実施例及び運用技術が明らかとなろう。
1.導入
接続確立(接続処理)における個別パラメータの処理は、WLAN/3GPP無線インターワーキングに残される問題である。接続確立時における無線端末の動作について2の選択肢が設けられる。
CRの現行の合意では、T350が起動している場合でも、接続確立時に、個別RAN補助パラメータが破棄されるものとする。
個別RAN補助パラメータを利用すると、RAN負荷、無線端末のトラフィック量及び無線端末のデータベアラに関するCQI等に基づいて、RANは独立で無線端末を制御することができる。接続確立時に無線端末が個別パラメータを保持していない場合に、もしRAN又はWLAN状態が変更されていないなら、RANが無線端末に同一の個別パラメータを提供することが可能となる。
多くの状況では、T350が180分以上に設定する可能性が考えられる。この場合、RAN又はWLAN状態がT350の満了まで変化しないと想定するのが不適切である。そして、RAN又はWLAN状態が変化する場合、以前に無線端末に設定されるものと異なる個別RAN補助パラメータで無線端末を更新する必要もあり得る。例えば、RAN負荷が変化すると、より良い無線端末制御のために、RANが新しいパラメータで無線端末を更新できるようになる必要がある。
接続確立時に無線端末が個別パラメータを破棄することを想定する場合、無線端末がトラフィックをWLANからRANに切り替えることが想定される。そして、RAN又はWLAN状態が変更されない場合、RANは無線端末に同一の個別パラメータを設定する可能性があり、その結果、無線端末が同一のWLANを選択してトラフィックを切り替えてしまい、ピンポン現象が起こり得る。具体的に、選択肢2にピンポン現象の発生は2つの可能性が考えられる。
上記の考察から、全部のシナリオにおける全部の問題を解決できる単一の無線端末動作が存在しないことが明らかである。従って、結局どの無線端末動作が最善の折衷案を提供できるかを選択することになる。
この付記において、我々は様々な観点から選択肢1又は選択肢2を分析し、我々から見る最善の折衷案を提案する。我々は下記の考察及び提案に達する。
