Technical field

The present application relates to the field of wireless communication technologies, and in particular, to a method and apparatus for determining mobility management support and processing required for providing a terminal.

Background technique

On-demand mobility support means that, according to the description of 3GPP TR 22.891, future 5G networks need to provide mobility support with different requirements. Because there are different communication scenarios in 5G networks: different terminals have different mobile paradigms, for example, some terminals access the network in high-speed mobile, while others are nomadic access networks or static access networks; different services It also has different mobility support requirements. For example, some services want to reduce the interruption and packet loss rate in the service transmission process. Therefore, the network is required to shield the application layer from mobility events, including keeping the IP address unchanged during the handover process. Some applications can use application layer means to support business continuity. Based on these considerations, 3GPP proposes on-demand mobility support.

The definition of the on-demand mobility support concept is proposed in 3GPP TR 23.799, ie the network provides different mobility support based on different characteristics of the terminal and the service.

detailed description

In the next generation network supporting multiple services and multiple types of terminals, on-demand mobility management has become one of the key technologies to improve the efficiency of network resource utilization. However, there is currently no related technology to implement on-demand mobility management in the network. Therefore, an embodiment of the on-demand mobility management is proposed in the embodiment of the present application. The specific embodiments of the present application will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

In the description process, the implementation from the information server and the network side and the terminal side will be described. The information server will explain the process of information establishment, and the network side will explain the process of providing mobility management on demand. The side provides a process of mobility management, and then an example of the three implementations will be given to better understand the implementation of the solution presented in the embodiments of the present application. Such a description does not mean that the three must cooperate with the implementation, or must be implemented separately. In fact, when the information server is implemented separately from the network side and the terminal side, it also solves the problems of the information server and the network side, respectively. When combined, you get better technical results.

Specifically, the mobility management mapping relationship may also need to be determined by a mobility mapping relationship.

In the implementation, when using the mobility mapping relationship to determine the mobility management level or mechanism provided to the terminal, it is necessary to consider the condition according to the terminal because the “mobility management mapping relationship” is a single entry, once “mobility management” After the mapping relationship is determined, the network can directly determine the mobility support level or mobility management mechanism. For details, refer to the following details of the mobility management mapping relationship. For example, the subscription service type is IMS voice/video service, the terminal type is smart phone, and the required mobility management is a higher mobility support level.

When the mobility support level or the mobility management mechanism is determined according to the mobility mapping relationship, the mobility mapping relationship is only It is one of the factors that need to be considered.

According to the conditions of the terminal, the mobility support level of the terminal is determined from the mobility management mapping relationship of the terminal. Do not or mobility management mechanisms.

In the implementation, according to the condition of the terminal and the mobility mapping relationship of the terminal, the mobility support level or mobility management mechanism provided to the terminal is determined, including:

In a specific implementation, for the mobility support level or the mobility management mechanism is updated and/or adjusted by an operator or a network, according to actual needs, the mobility management mapping relationship is a condition of the terminal and required mobility support. Level or mobility management mechanism, but after determining the mobility support level or mobility management mechanism provided by the terminal according to the mobility management mapping relationship, it can also be modified or adjusted according to actual needs, and the specific can be directly used by the operator or Network modifications, such as direct modification through the policy control functions in the network operations system.

In implementation, the mobility level of the terminal may include one of the following information:

In the implementation, after determining the mobility support level or the mobility management mechanism provided by the terminal, the method further includes:

Specifically, after determining the level or mechanism on the device that provides the mobility support level or the mobility management mechanism, the device that provides the mobility management support service on the specific RAN or the CN can be instructed to start to provide the terminal with the terminal. Required mobility support, when indicated, the purpose of the indication is to inform the specific device that provides mobility management support Mobility support is performed, so the specific indication manner and content can be set according to practical needs, which is easily understood by those skilled in the art.

In implementation, the device that provides mobility management support for the terminal according to the mobility support level or mobility management mechanism is a mobility management sub-function that provides services according to needs, and/or the location of each mobility management sub-function is determined.

In implementation, the mobility management sub-function that needs to provide services includes one or a combination of the following functions: handover control, location registration, paging.

In implementation, the location of each mobility management sub-function is located in a RAN (Radio Access Network) or a CN (Core Network).

In the specific implementation:

When the operator signs the contract with the user, the SIM (Subscriber Identity Module) card type, the subscription service type, and the like determine the mobility support level of the initial subscription of the terminal user and write the subscription information. The data mining is performed based on the movement trajectory of the terminal, and the mobility rule of the terminal is acquired, and the mobility support level signed by the terminal is modified and saved.

When the terminal accesses the network, the network side searches for the current mobility support level of the subscription, and obtains the current mobility support level of the terminal according to the service information requested by the terminal and the location information of the terminal. Mobility support level and determine the corresponding mobility management function to serve the terminal.

The following is a detailed description by way of example. In the description of the example, the mobility management mapping relationship will be mainly taken as an example. However, those skilled in the art can easily design correspondingly according to the commonality and difference of the mobility management mapping relationship and the mobility mapping relationship. A scheme involving a mobility mapping relationship.

Embodiment 1, mobility management level in subscription information

Define the mobility support level or mobility management mechanism signed in the future 5G network, such as Level I, Level II, Level III; Centralized MM, Distributed MM...

When the operator signs a contract with the user, it determines the mobility support level of the initial subscription of the terminal user according to the type of the terminal, the subscription service, and the like, and writes the subscription information, for example, the IMS (IP Multimedia System) voice/video is signed. The business's smart phone (smartphone) writes a higher level of mobility support, and writes mobility-limited support levels for machine communication terminals that sign small data transmissions. As shown in Table 4-1 below:

Table 4-1 Initial contracted mobility support level or mobility management mechanism

The English abbreviations in the table have the following meanings:

PLMN: Public Land Mobile Network, public land mobile network;

CMM: Centralized mobility management, centralized mobility management;

MM: Mobility management, mobility management;

MA: Mobility anchor, mobility anchor;

UP: User Plane, user plane;

LMA: Local mobility anchor, local mobility anchor.

In addition, the operator determines the mobility support level of the terminal or the mobility management mechanism also considers the communication mode of the terminal, for example, the terminal is always in the connected state, and the terminal only supports one-way data transmission (egMO (Mobile originated) only), the terminal The offline (offline) data transmission mode is used, and the terminal uses the nomadic access mode and the like. Based on the consideration of the terminal communication mode, in the mobility management mechanism finally used by the terminal, different location management is provided to the terminal, for example, the terminal management function is not provided for the terminal that is always in the connected state, and the terminal that supports only one-way data transmission is provided. (MO only) does not provide the Paging function. Therefore, the subscription of the terminal may include a communication mode or information related to the location management method. Further, the communication mode of the terminal may also be multiple. The terminal may adopt different communication modes or location management methods in different scenarios, such as different time periods, different locations, or different settings based on the user, so the terminal is also signed in the contract. It may contain information about communication modes or location management methods in different communication scenarios.

In the subsequent operation process, based on the mobility rules of the terminal and the service type (for example, if the service type subscribed by the terminal user changes), the operator's network operation support system modifies the possible mobility support level of the terminal, and Table 4-2 is a smart Phone signing example:

Table 4-2 Revised contracted mobility support level or mobility management mechanism

Example 2

When the terminal accesses, determine the current mobility management level or mobility management mechanism of the terminal.

When the terminal accesses the network, the mobility support level determining function in the network needs to determine the mobility support level or the mobility management mechanism currently provided to the terminal. In this process, the network needs to obtain the description of the service requested by the terminal, and the location of the terminal. And the contract information of the terminal.

FIG. 3 is a schematic diagram of a process for determining a current mobility support level of a terminal, as shown in the figure, which may include:

Step 301: Receive a terminal access request, and obtain a current TAI (Tracking Area ID) and an Application ID.

Step 302: Find user subscription information, determine a current mobility support level or a mobility management mechanism.

Step 303: Determine a specific mechanism of mobility management.

Step 304: Use corresponding mobility management sub-functions in the RAN (Radio Access Network) and/or CN (Core Network).

The mobility support level determining function searches for the mobility support level or the mobility management mechanism of the subscription in the terminal subscription information according to the service description and/or the terminal location requested by the terminal, and finds a corresponding mobility support level or mobility management mechanism, mobility. The support level determination function can determine the corresponding mobility management mechanism, and then use the relevant control plane mobility management sub-functions to provide services for the terminal, such as handover management, location management, and the like.

If the terminal accesses only the control plane registration and does not request any service, that is, neither requesting the establishment of the user plane connection nor requesting the small data transmission, the mobility support level determination function should be able to directly determine or according to the potential mobility in the subscription. The support level determines its mobility support level.

In addition, if the subscription information includes information about the communication mode or the location management method of the terminal, the network further determines the mobility support level or the mobility management mechanism according to the related information; or the subscription information includes multiple communications of the terminal. The mode or location management method, the network also needs to obtain the current communication of the terminal, and determine the location management function in the final mobility management according to the current communication model of the terminal.

Example 3

When the access terminal requests a new service, the terminal's current mobility management level and/or mobility management mechanism is determined.

If the terminal currently only performs control plane registration and does not acquire any service, the mobility support level determining function in the network acquires the service description requested by the terminal and/or the mobility support level or mobility of the subscription in the terminal location search terminal subscription information. Management mechanism, find the corresponding mobility support level or mobility management mechanism, and determine the specific mobility management mechanism. This mobility management mechanism service is then only used for the terminal.

If the terminal currently obtains the service, the mobility support level determining function in the network acquires the service description and/or the terminal location requested by the terminal, searches for the mobility support level of the subscription in the terminal subscription information, or the mobility management mechanism, and finds the corresponding Mobility support level or mobility management mechanism and determine specific mobility management mechanisms. If the mobility management mechanism has been used to provide services to the terminal, the existing mobility management function is used to provide services to the terminal, otherwise the mobility management mechanism is enabled to provide services to the terminal, that is, multiple mobility management mechanisms are simultaneously used. Provide services to the terminal.

Example 4

When the terminal is switched or the location is updated, the current mobility management level or mobility management mechanism of the terminal is determined.

FIG. 4 is a schematic diagram of a process for determining a current mobility support level after a terminal location changes, as shown in the figure, which may include:

Step 401: After the terminal is switched or the location is updated, acquiring terminal location information, such as a TAI;

Step 402: Determine a mobility management level or a mobility management mechanism according to the new location information and/or the service information.

Step 403: Is the mobility management level the same? If yes, go to step 404, otherwise go to step 405;

Step 404, continuing to use the original mobility management mechanism;

Step 405: Determine a new specific mobility management mechanism according to a new mobility support level or a mobility management mechanism.

Step 406: Use the corresponding mobility management sub-functions in the RAN and/or CN.

After the terminal is switched or the location is updated, the mobility support level determining function in the network needs to be based on the location after the terminal is switched. Further, according to the service information acquired by the terminal, the current mobility support level and/or specific mobility of the terminal is obtained. Management mechanism.
