为了便于理解,示例性的给出了与部分与本发明相关概念的说明以供参考。如下所示:
第三代合作伙伴计划(英文:3rd generation partnership project,简称3GPP)是一个致力于发展无线通信网络的项目。通常,将3GPP相关的机构称为3GPP机构。
无线通信网络,是一种提供无线通信功能的网络。无线通信网络可以采用不同的通信技术,例如例如码分多址(英文:code division multiple access,简称CDMA)、宽带码分多址(wideband code division multiple access,简称WCDMA)、时分多址(英文:time division multiple access,简称:TDMA)、频分多址(英文:frequency division multiple access,简称FDMA)、正交频分多址(英文:orthogonal frequency-division multiple access,简称:OFDMA)、单载波频分多址(英文:single Carrier fDMA,简称:SC-FDMA)。根据不同网络的容量、速率、时延等因素可以将网络分为2G(英文:generation)网络、3G网络或者4G网络。典型的2G网络包括全球移动通信系统(英文:global system for mobile communications/ general packet radio service,简称:GSM)网络或者通用分组无线业务(英文:general packet radio service,简称:GPRS)网络,典型的3G网络包括通用移动通信系统(英文:universal mobile telecommunications system,简称:UMTS)网络,典型的4G网络包括长期演进(英文:long term evolution,简称:LTE)网络。其中,UMTS网络有时也可以称为通用陆地无线接入网(英文:universal terrestrial radio access network,简称:UTRAN),LTE网络有时也可以称为演进型通用陆地无线接入网(英文:evolved universal terrestrial radio access network,简称:E-UTRAN)。通常,将2G网络和3G网络归为一类,称为2/3G网络,将4G网络单独归为一类。本领域技术人员应知,随着技术的发展本发明实施例提供的技术方案同样可以应用于其他的无线通信网络,例如4.5G或者5G网络。为了简洁,本发明实施例有时会将无线通信网络简称为网络。为了便于描述,本发明的实施例以2/3G网络和4G网络为例进行说明。
用户设备(英文:user equipment,简称:UE)是一种终端设备,可以是可移动的终端设备,也可以是不可移动的终端设备。该设备主要用于接收或者发送业务数据。用户设备可分布于网络中,在不同的网络中用户设备有不同的名称,例如:终端,移动台,用户单元,站台,蜂窝电话,个人数字助理,无线调制解调器,无线通信设备,手持设备,膝上型电脑,无绳电话,无线本地环路台等。该用户设备可以经无线接入网(Radio Access Network,简称:RAN)与一个或多个核心网进行通信,例如与无线接入网交换语音和/或数据。
基站(英文:base station,简称:BS)设备,也可称为基站,是一种部署在无线接入网用以提供无线通信功能的装置。例如在2G网络中提供基站功能的设备包括基地无线收发站(英文:base transceiver station,简称:BTS)和基站控制器(英文:base station controller,简称:BSC,3G网络中提供基站功能的设备包括节点B(英文简称:NodeB)和无线网络控制器(英文:radio network controller,简称:RNC),在4G网络中提供基站功能的设备包括演进的节点B(英文:evolved NodeB简称:eNB或者eNodeB)。
移动管理网元(英文:mobile management network element,简称:MMNE) 是一种部署在核心网用于对UE进行移动性管理的装置。例如,在2/3G网络中,移动管理网元包括GPRS业务支持节点(英文:serving GPRS support node,简称:SGSN),在4G网络中,移动管理网元包括移动管理实体(英文:mobility management entity,简称:MME)。在同时部署2/3G网络和4G网络的场景下,可以将2/3G网络和4G网络的移动管理网元部署在同一个网元上,也称为将2/3G网络和4G网络的移动管理网元合设在同一网元上。通常将合设有2/3G网络的移动管理网元和4G网络的移动管理网元的网元称为融合移动管理网元。
归属用户服务器(英文:home subscriber server,简称:HSS)是一种存储UE的签约数据的装置,通常部署在核心网。示例性的,HSS可以存储UE在4G网络的签约数据,并与4G网络的移动管理网元相连。
归属位置寄存器(英文:home location register,简称:HLR)是一种存储UE的签约数据的装置,通常部署在核心网。示例性的,HLR可以存储UE在2/3G网络的签约数据,并与2/3G网络的移动管理网元相连。
其中,HSS和HLR可以部署在同一个设备上,也可以分别部署在不同的设备上。
附图说明
为了更清楚地说明本发明实施例或现有技术中的技术方案,下面将对实施例或现有技术描述中所需要使用的附图作简单地介绍,显而易见地,下面描述中的附图仅仅是本发明的一些实施例,对于本领域普通技术人员来讲,在不付出创造性劳动性的前提下,还可以根据这些附图获得其他的附图。
图1为本发明实施例提供的一种组网架构示意图;
图2为本发明实施例提供的一种接入方法的流程示意图;
图3为本发明实施例提供的一种移动管理网元的结构示意图;
图4为本发明实施例提供的另一种移动管理网元的结构示意图。
具体实施方式
下面将结合本发明实施例中的附图,对本发明实施例中的技术方案进行清楚、完整地描述,显然,所描述的实施例仅仅是本发明一部分实施例,而不是全部的实施例。基于本发明中的实施例,本领域普通技术人员在没有付出创造性劳动前提下所获得的所有其他实施例,都属于本发明保护的范围。
本发明实施例描述的网络架构以及业务场景是为了更加清楚的说明本发明实施例的技术方案,并不构成对于本发明实施例提供的技术方案的限定,本领域普通技术人员可知,随着网络架构的演变和新业务场景的出现,本发明实施例提供的技术方案对于类似的技术问题,同样适用。
下面以同时部署2/3G网络与4G网络的场景为例进行说明。
图1是一种同时部署2/3G网络和4G网络的网络架构示意图。为了便于理解,该网络架构仅仅示出了2/3网络的移动管理网元SGSN、4G网络的移动管理网元MME、HSS、HLR、2G网络的基站设备BSC和BTS、3G网络的基站设备RNC和NodeB、4G网络的基站设备eNodeB以及用户设备UE。本领域技术人员应理解,在实际部署中的网元和网络架构会有所不同。本领域技术人员应知上述网络架构仅仅是本发明实施例的一种应用场景的举例,示例性的,也可以应用在2G网络和4G网络同时部署的场景,或者3G网络和4G网络同时部署的场景。
如图1所示:
SGSN作为2/3G网络的移动管理网元与2/3G网络的基站设备BSC和/或RNC相连,并且与存储有2/3G网络的用户签约数据的HLR相连。HSS与4G网络的移动管理网元MME相连。HSS中存储有4G网络的用户签约数据。在本发明的一个设计中,SGSN与MME互联,并通过MME向HSS查询UE的4G网络签约数据。在本发明的另一个设计中,SGSN直接与HSS互联查询UE的4G网络签约数据。在本发明的再一个设计中,HLR与HSS互联,SGSN通过HLR向HSS查询UE的4G网络签约数据。
MME作为4G网络的移动管理网元,与4G网络的基站设备eNodeB相连,且与存储有4G网络的用户的签约数据的HSS相连。
本领域技术人员可以理解,SGSN和MME可以分别单独部署在不同的设备上,也可以合设在同一个设备上,此处不做赘述。
UE可以支持2/3G网络与4G网络,即支持与2/3G网络的基站,以及4G网络的基站进行无线通信。实际的无线通信网络中,有大量的UE,此处仅示出一个UE作为示例。本领域技术人员可以理解,随着技术的发展,2/3G网络的基站和4G网络的基站,在物理上可以是分离的设备,也可以合设在同一个设备上。
HLR用于存储该UE对应的2/3G网络的签约数据。当该UE的用户与移动运营商签约2G网络进行业务时,HLR中会存储该UE对应于2G网络的签约数据,表明该UE可以接入2G网络进行业务。同样,当该UE的用户与移动运营商签约3G网络进行业务时,HLR会存储该UE对应于3G网络的签约数据。
HSS用于存储该UE的对应的4G网络的签约数据。当该UE的用户与移动运营商签约4G网络进行业务时,HSS会存储该UE对应于4G网络的签约数据。相应的,例如当HSS中不存在4G网络的签约数据时,该UE接入4G网络的请求会被拒绝。
为了便于叙述,UE的用户签约了2G、3G或者4G网络也可以称作该UE签约了2G、3G或者4G网络。
在同时部署2/3G网络和4G网络的场景下,2/3G网络和4G网络的覆盖区域会有重叠。该UE在重叠的覆盖区域中,可以与BTS、NodeB或者eNodeB中任意一个基站进行无线通信。
由于4G网络商用不久,网络中存在大量的可以支持2/3G网络和4G网络的UE,但是这些UE的用户可能只与运行商签约了2/3G网络,并没有签约4G网络。当这些UE接入2/3G网络后,由于这些UE支持4G网络,2/3G网络的基站设备会为上述UE优选接入到4G网络。但是由于这些UE并没有签约4G网络,会被4G网络拒绝接入,随后这些UE会再次接入2/3G网络。再次接入2/3G网络后,2/3G网络的基站设备又会将这些UE优选接入到4G网络,导致这些UE在2/3G网络和4G网络之间频繁切换,产生乒乓现象,对网络造成冲 击,造成业务不稳定。
为了解决上述问题,可以考虑在UE接入2/3G网络时,引入预判机制,预先在UE接入2/3G网络时就预先判断UE是否可以接入4G网络。例如,可以在UE驻留在2/3G网络时由2/3G网络的移动管理网元判断UE是否允许接入4G网络,并在该UE不允许接入4G网络的情况下,通知2/3G网络的基站不为该UE优选4G网络接入,从而能够避免该UE持续在2/3G网络和4G网络之间切换,提高业务稳定性。另外,对于不为该UE优选接入4G网络的操作还可以设置一个有效期,即当超过该有效期后,2/3G网络的基站又可以恢复为该UE优选接入4G网络,便于该UE的用户一旦与运行商签约4G网络后,可以优选接入4G网络。
作为实现方式之一,可以通过是否可以成功获取该UE的对应的4G网络的签约数据来判断是否允许该UE接入4G网络。示例性的,可以考虑由SGSN与HSS交互请求获取该UE对应的4G网络的签约数据,若获取失败,则可以确定该UE不允许接入4G网络。
根据上述的分析,在本发明实施例的提供的方案中:
当第一网络的移动管理网元获知用户设备请求接入第一网络时,该移动管理网元请求获取该用户设备在第二网络中的签约数据;当该移动管理网元获取该签约数据失败时,该移动管理网元向该第一网络的基站设备发送失败指示信息,该失败指示信息用于指示不为该用户设备选择该第二网络接入。
为了更清楚的说明本发明实施例的技术方案,以下将结合图1所示的网络架构来进行说明。
本发明实施例中以4G网络为LTE网络,2G网络为GPRS网络,3G网络为UMTS网络为例进行说明。
示例性的,图2示出了一种接入方法的流程示意图。图2所示的接入方法中引入了上述预判机制,在图2的举例中,该UE没有签约4G网络,因此HSS中并不存在该UE对应的4G网络的签约数据。
如图2所示:101、UE通过BSC或者RNC向SGSN发送接入请求。
其中,该接入请求用于请求接入该SGSN对应的2/3G网络。这里,请求接入该SGSN对应的2/3G网络可以做广义的理解,即也可以理解为请求继续驻留在该SGSN对应的2/3G网络。
示例性的,该接入请求可以包括附着请求(英文:attach request),或者路由区更新(英文:routing area update request,简称RAU)请求。
示例性的,该UE可以开机后执行步骤101,也可以在需要从其他网络切换至2/3G网络时执行步骤101,还可以在该UE接入2/3G网络后执行步骤101。
通过步骤101,SGSN获知UE选择2/3G网络为其驻留的网络,即SGSN获知UE请求接入2/3G网络。在步骤101后,SGSN可以执行上述预判机制,来确定该UE是否允许接入4G网络。
步骤103-104为上述预判机制的一种实现。
103、SGSN向HSS发送更新位置请求消息。
其中,SGSN通过该位置更新请求消息来请求获取该UE在4G网络的签约数据。
示例性的,该更新位置请求中可以包括UE的UE ID(中文:标识,英文:identity)用以指示获取该UE ID对应的UE在4G网络中的签约数据。
104、HSS向SGSN发送更新位置响应消息。
示例性的,由于该UE没有签约4G网络,该更新位置响应中不会携带该UE对应的4G网络的签约数据。
可选的,由于该UE没有签约4G网络,该更新位置响应中可以携带指示信息,用于指示无法获取该UE对应的4G网络的签约数据,也可以理解为不存在该UE对应的4G网络的签约数据。示例性的,该指示信息可以通过result信元实现,当result信元取值为:
DIAMETER_ERROR_USER_UNKNOWN(5001)、
DIAMETER_ERROR_UNKNOWN_EPS_SUBSCRIPTION(5420)、
DIAMETER_ERROR_RAT_NOT_ALLOWED(5421)、或者
DIAMETER_ERROR_ROAMING_NOT_ALLOWED(5004)时表示无法获取 该UE对应的4G网络的签约数据。
根据上述更新位置响应消息,SGSN可以确认获取UE在4G网络中的签约数据失败。
可选的,SGSN可多次请求获取该UE在4G网络中的签约数据,即在步骤103和104后SGSN没有获取到该UE对应的4G网络的签约数据时,可以再次通过步骤103和104尝试获取该UE在4G网络中的签约数据。这样可以避免由于其他原因造成无法获取UE在4G网络中的签约数据,例如:SGSN和HSS之间的连接暂时中断或者HSS过载等原因。
可以理解,在UE没有签约4G网络的情况下,会造成SGSN获取该UE在4G网络的签约数据失败,即表示不允许该UE接入4G网络。
可选的,在步骤103-104前,SGSN还可以先确定该UE是否具有接入4G网络的能力。示例性的,可以根据该UE上报的移动台网络能力(英文:mobile station network capability)字段中的演进的分组核心网能力(英文:evolved packet core capabiltiy)参数判断该UE是否具有接入4G网络的能力。例如,该UE的演进的分组核心网能力参数为1表示其具有接入4G网络的能力,为0表示其不具有接入4G网络的能力。可以理解是,对于不具有接入4G网络的能力的用户设备,该用户设备不会与4G网络的基站设备通信,因此不会造成频繁在2/3G网络和4G网络之间切换,可以不必执行步骤103-104。本领域技术人员可以理解,为了实现上的便利,即使对于不具有接入4G网络能力的用户设备,也可以执行步骤103-104。
由于步骤103-104中SGSN获取该UE对应的4G网络的签约数据失败,可以考虑指示BSC或者RNC不将该UE优先接入4G网络,这样可以避免UE持续的在2/3G网络和4G网络之间切换,减轻了网络的压力,也有利于保持业务的稳定性。
作为一种可选的实现方式,可以考虑由2/3G网络的移动管理网元,即SGSN,发送失败指示信息来指示2/3G的基站设备不再将该UE优先接入4G网络。例如:
108、SGSN发送失败指示信息至BSC/RNC。
其中,该失败指示信息用于指示BSC/RNC不将该UE优先接入4G网络。当BSC/RNC收到该失败指示信息后,BSC/RNC不会为该UE选择4G网络接入。本领域技术人员应知,该失败指示信息所指示信息的表述可以有多种,例如:禁止为该UE优先选择4G网络接入,停止将该UE优先接入4G网络,本发明对此不作限制。
本领域技术人员应知,SGSN可以通过下行消息来发送该失败指示信息至BSC/RNC。其中,下行消息包括如下举例中的一个或多个消息。
示例性的,2/3G网络的移动管理网元可以通过无线接入承载指派请求(英文:rab assignment request)消息或者重定向请求(英文:relocation request)消息将该失败指示信息发送至RNC。其中,可以将这两条消息中的E-UTRANservice handover信元的值设置为“handover to E-UTRAN shall not be performed”来表示该失败指示信息。
示例性的,2/3G网络的移动管理网元还可以通过创建基站子系统分组流上下文请求(英文:create base station subsystem packet flow context request)消息、或者下行单元数据(英文:dl-unitdata)消息或者分组交换切换请求(英文:packet switch handover request)消息将该失败指示信息发送至BSC。其中,可以将这三条消息中的service UTRAN COO信元的值设置为“network initiated cell change order to E-UTRAN procedure shall be performed”来表示该失败指示信息。
示例性的,2/3G网络的移动管理网元还可以通过直接迁移(英文:direct transfer)消息、公共标识(英文:common ID)消息、创建基站子系统分组流上下文请求消息、下行单元数据消息或者分组交换切换请求消息中的无线接入技术用户描述标识(英文:subscriber profile ID for RAT)信元或者频率优先级(英文:priority)信元来表示该失败指示信息。
示例性的,还可以在上述消息中通过新增信元来表示该失败指示信息。
BSC/RNC收到该失败指示信息后,当UE在2/3G网络时,BSC/RNC不会再为该UE优选4G网络接入,因此UE不会频繁的在2/3G网络和4G网络之间 切换,缓解了乒乓现象,对业务稳定性有一定提高。
可选的,之后BSC/RNC可以对该失败指示信息进行响应,回复确认响应消息至SGSN,用以通知SGSN已经根据该失败指示信息进行了相应的操作。
示例性的,这里指示不再为该用户设备选择4G网络接入也可以理解为在一段时间内不再为该用户设备选择该4G网络接入,即在这段时间后,2/3G网络的基站设备可以重新为该UE优选选择4G网络接入。
在步骤101后,SGSN可以根据该UE的请求将该UE驻留在2/3G网络。例如:
102、SGSN执行认证、安全相关的流程。
步骤102为可选步骤。若需要执行该步骤,可以在步骤103之前执行。
105、SGSN获取该UE在2/3G网络中的签约数据。
106、SGSN通过BSC/RNC发送接入接受消息至该UE。
示例性的,该接入接收消息可以是附着接受消息或者路由区域更新接受消息。
示例性的,该接受接受消息可以被携带在直接迁移消息或者下行单元数据消息中发送。
107、UE通过BSC/RNC发送接入完成消息至SGSN。
示例性的,接入完成消息可以是附着完成消息或者路由区域更新完成消息。
至此,UE可以驻留在2/3G网络进行业务。
本领域技术人员应理解,步骤103、104和108与步骤105-107不存在时序关系。
可选的,当SGSN在步骤103-104中成功获取了该UE在4G网络中的签约数据时,SGSN可以通知BSC/RNC可以为该UE优选4G网络接入,以便该UE驻留在2/3G网络后可以再次选择4G网络接入,得到更好的网络服务和用户体验。
可选的,可以考虑在SGSN上设置一个定时器,当该定时器未超时的情况下,UE再次请求接入2/3G网络时,SGSN可以不必执行步骤103-105,以避免 短时间内SGSN频繁与HSS进行无意义的交互。
通过上述对于本发明实施例提供的接入方法的说明,可见在UE接入2/3G网络的过程中,预先指示2/3G网络的基站设备不将没有签约4G网络的用户设备优选4G网络接入,避免了没有签约4G网络的用户设备不断被2/3G网络的基站设备切换至4G网络而导致的4G网络和2/3G网络之间的频繁切换,减少了对网络造成的冲击,提高了业务的稳定性,增强了用户体验。
需要说明的是,本发明实施例中2/3G网络和4G网络仅仅是一种举例,并不构成本发明实施例对于无线通信网络的限定。
为了实现本发明实施例提供的接入方法,需要对现有的2/3G网络的移动管理网元进行修改,使其实现上述图2所示实施例的技术方案。
