具体实施方式
为使本发明实施例的目的、技术方案和优点更加清楚,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描述。
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。
下面首先结合图1和图2对本发明实施例适用的一些可能的应用场景及网络架构进行介绍。
图1示出了本发明实施例可能适用的一种应用场景。如图1所示,终端通过无线接入网及核心网接入运营商互联网协议(Internet Protocol,IP)业务网络,例如多媒体子系统(IP Multimedia System,IMS)网络、包交换流业 务(Packet Switched Streaming Service,简PSS)网络等。本发明描述的技术方案可以适用于长期演进(Long Term Evolution,LTE)系统,或其他采用各种无线接入技术的无线通信系统,例如采用码分多址(Code Division Multiple Access,CDMA)、频分多址(Frequency Division Multiple Access,FDMA)、时分多址(Time Division Multiple Access,TDMA)、正交频分多址(Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access,OFDMA)、单载波频分多址(Single Carrier Frequency Division Multiple Access,SC-FDMA)等接入技术的系统。此外,还可以适用于LTE系统后续的演进系统,如第五代(5th Generation,5G)系统等。为清楚起见,这里仅以LTE系统为例进行说明。在LTE系统中,演进的通用陆地无线接入网(Evolved Universal Terrestrial Radio Access Network,E-UTRAN)作为无线接入网,演进分组核心网(Evolved Packet Core,EPC)作为核心网。终端通过E-UTRAN及EPC接入IMS网络。需要说明的是,当本发明实施例的方案应用于5G系统或未来可能出现的其他系统时,基站、终端的名称可能发生变化,但这并不影响本发明实施例方案的实施。
基于上述应用场景,图2示出了本发明实施例提供的一种可能的网络架构。如图2所示,该网络架构包括:核心网设备、终端和多个接入网设备。接入网设备101和接入网设备102处于同一寻呼区域,例如第一寻呼区;接入网设备103处于另一寻呼区域,例如第二寻呼区。其中,接入网设备101可以称为第一寻呼区的锚点接入网设备。锚点接入网设备是指保存终端设备的上下文信息并且保持该终端与核心网设备之间连接的接入网设备,其与核心网设备相连,且与第一寻呼区中的其它接入网设备相连。图2中,终端201处于轻连接态。终端处于轻连接状态是指:终端与核心网设备之间的接口保持在锚点接入网设备,且终端在一定区域内移动不用通知锚点接入网设备,当移动出该一定区域才通知锚点接入网设备。例如,终端201可以通过第一寻呼区中的接入网设备101保持终端201与核心网设备之间的接口,且终端201在第一寻呼区中移动时不用通知接入网设备101,当终端201移动出该第一寻呼区时,才通知接入网设备101。
本发明实施例所涉及的轻连接态可以是无线资源控制(Radio Resource Control,RRC)连接态的子状态,也可以是空闲(idle)态的增强状态,还可以是独立的状态。上述轻连接态也可以有其他名称,例如, 轻连接状态也可以称为非激活态、去激活态、低活动态或低开销态等。本发明实施例对轻连接态的名称或形态不作限定。为描述方便,下文可以用第一状态来描述轻连接态。
本发明实施例所涉及的寻呼区域可以是一种小区集合的名称,该小区集合由接入网设备管理。当终端在该小区集合中移动时不需要通知对该终端进行寻呼区配置的接入网设备;当终端移动出该小区集合时,需要通知该接入网设备。该小区集合中的接入网设备在需要与终端设备进行通信时,需要在该小区集合所包括的所有小区内对终端进行寻呼。需要说明的是,上述寻呼区域还可以称为终端的注册区域、终端的轻连接区域、终端的管理区域、终端的接入网注册区域、终端的跟踪区域或终端的接入网跟踪区域等,本发明实施例并不限定。
本发明实施例中,名词“网络”和“系统”经常交替使用,但本领域技术人员可以理解其含义。本发明实施例所涉及到的终端可以包括各种具有无限通信功能的手持设备、车载设备、可穿戴设备、计算设备或连接到无线调制解调器的其他处理设备,以及各种形式的用户设备(User Equipment,UE),移动台(Mobile Station,MS),终端设备(terminal device)等等。为方便描述,上面提到的设备统称为终端。本发明实施例所涉及到的接入网设备是一种部署在无线接入网中用以为终端提供无线通信功能的装置。例如,接入网设备可以是基站(Base Station,BS),所述基站可以包括各种形式的宏基站,微基站,中继站,接入点等等。在采用不同的无线接入技术的系统中,具备基站功能的设备的名称可能会有所不同,例如在长期演进(Long Term Evolution,LTE)系统中,称为演进的节点B(evolved NodeB,eNB或eNodeB),在第三代(3rd Generation,3G)通信系统中,称为节点B(Node B)等等。为方便描述,本发明实施例中,上述为终端提供无线通信功能的装置统称为接入网设备。本发明实施例所涉及到的核心网设备在不同的系统中可以包括不同的设备。例如,在LTE系统中核心网设备可以包括移动性管理实体(Mobility Management Entity,MME)或服务网关(Serving Gateway,SGW),在3G通信系统中可以包括核心网设备可以包括服务GPRS支撑节点(Serving GPRS Support Node,SGSN)或网关GPRS支撑节点(Gateway GPRS support Node,GGSN)。其中,GPRS是通用分组无线系统(General Packet Radio  System)的缩写。本发明实施例所涉及到的核心网设备还可以包括5G系统或未来可能出现的其他系统中的核心网设备。
下面将基于上面所述的本发明实施例涉及的共性方面,对本发明实施例进一步详细说明。
现有方案中,当终端通过某一接入网设备接入到核心网设备时,若终端移动出该接入网设备的范围(例如,处于切换过程中的终端还未接入到切换后的接入网设备,或者,处于轻连接态的终端移动到同一寻呼区域的其它接入网设备的范围),终端不会接收到核心网设备的信令,从而导致无法进行合理的后续处理。
有鉴于此,本发明实施例提供一种通信方法,和基于这个方法的设备和系统。该方法用于通信系统中,该通信系统包括寻呼区域,寻呼区域内至少包括第一接入网设备和第二接入网设备,第一接入网设备与核心网设备之间具有链路,该方法包括:第一接入网设备从核心网设备接收终端的信令;第一接入网设备向第二接入网设备发送第一寻呼消息,该第一寻呼消息用于寻呼终端;第二接入网设备向终端发送第二寻呼消息;第二接入网设备从终端接收寻呼响应;第二接入网设备向第一接入网设备发送第一指示信息,第一指示信息用于指示所述终端接入第二接入网设备。本发明实施例中,第一接入网设备在接收到核心网设备发送的终端的信令后,向第二接入网设备发送第一寻呼消息,当接收到第二接入网设备发送的第一指示信息时,能够获知终端已接入第二接入网设备,从而进行合理的后续处理。
需要说明的是,第二接入网设备可以是该寻呼区域内除第一接入网设备以外的任意接入网设备。
可以理解的是,上述寻呼区域内至少包括第一接入网设备和第二接入网设备,可以是该寻呼区域包括第一接入网设备和第二接入网设备;也可以是该寻呼区域除包括第一接入网设备和第二接入网设备外,还包括其他接入网设备。上述寻呼区域包括第一接入网设备和第二接入网设备是指:第一接入网设备的部分或全部小区,以及第二接入网设备的部分或全部小区属于该寻呼区域。
下面结合附图3,对本发明实施例提供的方案进行说明。图3所示的方法用于通信系统中,该通信系统包括寻呼区域,寻呼区内至少包括第一 接入网设备和第二接入网设备,第一接入网设备与核心网设备之间具有链路,该方法包括:301~305部分。
在301部分,核心网设备向第一接入网设备发送信令。
其中,该信令是终端的信令。
在一个示例中,该信令可以包括以下至少一项:非接入层(Non-Access Stratum,NAS)信令、无线承载管理信令、终端上下文修改信令、终端上下文删除信令、位置报告信令、跟踪信令或位置业务(Location Service,LCS)信令。其中,无线承载管理信令可以包括无线承载建立信令、无线承载修改信令或无线承载删除信令中的至少一项。
可以理解的是,第一接入网设备从核心网设备接收终端的信令后,需要向终端发送信令。例如,第一接入网设备从核心网设备接收上下文修改命令后,可以根据该上下文修改命令向终端发送RRC重配置命令,以对终端的上下文进行修改;又例如,第一接入网设备从核心网设备接收NAS信令后,可以将该NAS信令转发给终端。而第一接入网设备在向终端发送信令前,第一接入网设备仅知道该终端处于寻呼区域内,因此,第一接入网设备需要在寻呼区域内向该终端发起寻呼,以便该终端和网络建立连接。例如,第一接入网设备可以直接向该终端发起寻呼,也可以触发第二接入网设备向该终端发起寻呼。
在302部分,第一接入网设备向第二接入网设备发送第一寻呼消息,第一寻呼消息用于寻呼终端。
在一个示例中,第一接入网设备可以在没有收到终端的寻呼响应时,向第二接入网设备发送第一寻呼消息。例如,第一接入网设备从核心网设备接收上述信令后,可以先向终端发送第三寻呼消息,当在一段时间内未接收到终端的寻呼响应时,向第二接入网设备发送第一寻呼消息。可选的,终端在接收第一接入网设备发送的第三寻呼消息之前,还可以接收第一接入网设备发送的配置信息,配置信息用于终端进入第一状态。该可选部分的实施情况与后续图7的701部分相似,可以参考701部分的详细描述,此处不作赘述。
在303部分,第二接入网设备向终端发送第二寻呼消息。
在一个示例中,终端在接收第二接入网设备发送的第二寻呼消息之 前,还可以接收第一接入网设备发送的配置信息,配置信息用于终端进入第一状态。本示例的情况与后续图7的701部分相似,可以参考701部分的详细描述,此处不作赘述。

在一个示例中,当上述第二指示信息包括第二接入网设备的信息时,核心网设备可以根据第二接入网设备的信息向第二接入网设备发送该信令。在这种情况下,核心网设备可以根据第二接入网设备的信息判断终端已经移动到第二接入网设备的范围,因此可以直接向第二接入网设备发送该信令。
在一个示例中,当上述第二指示信息包括终端的状态信息时,核心网设备向第二接入网设备发送该信令之前,核心网设备还可以从第二接入网设备接收路径切换请求。在这种情况下,核心网设备可以根据终端的状态信息判断终端所处的状态,需要在接收到第二接入网设备发送的路径切换请求后,向第二接入网设备发送该信令。

下面结合附图6,对本发明实施例提供的方案进行说明。
在601部分,终端从第一接入网设备接收配置信息。
在一个示例中,配置信息包括状态指示信息,终端可以根据该状态指示信息进入第一状态。
在一个示例中,配置信息可以包括寻呼区标识和寻呼区参数之一或全部,终端可以根据寻呼区标识和寻呼区参数之一或全部进入第一状态。下面简单介绍寻呼区标识和寻呼区参数。
上述寻呼区标识用于标识终端在第一接入网设备范围内的服务小区,终端可以根据该寻呼区标识确定终端处于第一状态时的寻呼区。例如,若终端在第一接入网设备的当前服务小区的寻呼区标识为1,则终端处于第一状态时的寻呼区为寻呼区1;若终端在第一接入网设备的当前服务小区的寻呼区标识为2,则终端处于第一状态时的寻呼区为寻呼区2;依次类推。当然,寻呼区标识的具体形式可以有其他实施情况,本发明实施例并不限定。
上述寻呼区参数用于确定终端处于第一状态时的寻呼区信息。例如,寻呼区参数可以包括寻呼区小区列表,寻呼区小区列表中至少包含一个小区,终端可以将寻呼区小区列表中的小区作为终端的寻呼区;又例如,寻呼区参数包括寻呼区标识列表,寻呼区标识列表中至少包含一个寻呼区标识,终端可以将寻呼区标识列表中包含的寻呼区标识对应的小区作为终端 的寻呼区。
在一个示例中,配置信息还可以包括第一终端标识,第一终端标识可以为终端在当前所处的网络中使用的标识。终端可以保存该第一终端标识。
在一个示例中,配置信息还可以包括第一终端标识和第二终端标识,在这种情况下,第一终端标识为终端在第一制式网络中使用的标识,第二终端标识为终端在第二制式网络中使用的标识。例如,当终端处于第一制式网络时,终端可以使用第一终端标识在第一制式网络的寻呼区域内进行寻呼监听。又例如,当终端处于第二制式网络时,终端可以使用第二终端标识在第二制式网络的寻呼区域内进行寻呼监听。其中,上述第一制式网络和第二制式网络采用不同的无线接入技术,例如,第一制式网络采用第一接入技术,第二制式网络采用第二接入技术。在一种可能的情况中,上述第一制式网络可以为LTE网络或5G网络,第二制式网络可以为不同于第一制式网络的任意制式网络。
在这个示例中,上述寻呼区小区列表可以包含至少两个不同制式网络的小区;或者,上述寻呼区标识列表可以包含至少两个寻呼区标识,这两个寻呼区标识分别对应不同制式网络的小区。
在602部分,终端进入第一状态。
具体的,终端进入第一状态后,处于第一状态的终端与核心网设备之间的接口保持在第一接入网设备,且终端在寻呼区域内移动不用通知第一接入网设备,当终端移动出该寻呼区域时再通知第一接入网设备。
在一个示例中,终端还可以根据上述寻呼参数确定终端处于第一状态时的寻呼区信息。
在603部分,终端向第二接入网设备发送携带第一终端标识的消息。为描述方便,后续将该携带第一终端标识的消息称为第一消息。
其中,该第一消息可以用于通知第二接入网设备使用终端的第一终端标识。可选的,该第一消息可以为RRC连接恢复请求消息、RRC连接重建消息,位置更新消息或者RRC连接继续消息。
在一个示例中,终端可以在进入第二接入网设备的范围时向第二接入网设备发送第一消息。
在另一个示例中,终端在接收到第二接入网设备发送的寻呼时向第二接入网设备发送第一消息。例如,第二接入网设备处于终端的寻呼区域内,终端监听第二接入网设备的小区发送的寻呼消息,当终端接收到针对该终端的寻呼消息时,终端向第二接入网设备发送该第一消息。在这个示例中,该第一消息还可以携带终端的寻呼响应。
在一种可能的实施方式中,终端可以使用第一终端标识监听寻呼消息,若寻呼消息携带该第一终端标识,则终端确定被第二接入网设备所寻呼。
在另一种可能的实施方式中,上述配置信息还包括第二终端标识。在这种情况下,如601部分中的示例所述,第一终端标识和第二终端标识分别为终端在第一制式网络和第二制式网络中所使用的标识。可选的,第一接入网设备与第二接入网设备可能采用相同或不同的接入技术,例如,第一接入网设备采用第一接入技术,第二接入网设备可能采用第一接入技术或第二接入技术。在一种情况下,若第二接入网设备采用第一接入技术,则第一接入网设备向第二接入网设备发送第一终端标识;对应的,当前驻留在第二接入网设备中的终端使用第一终端标识监听寻呼消息,当监听到寻呼消息携带第一终端标识时,终端确定被第二接入网设备所寻呼。在另一种情况下,若第二接入网设备采用第二接入技术,则第一接入网设备向第二接入网设备发送第二终端标识;对应的,当前驻留在第二接入网设备中的终端使用第二终端标识监听寻呼消息,当监听到寻呼消息携带第二终端标识时,终端确定被第二接入网设备所寻呼。
在一个示例中,第一消息还可以携带接入技术类型信息,该接入技术类型信息用于通知第二接入网设备:为终端分配第一终端标识的第一接入网设备所使用的无线接入技术为第一接入技术;或者,该技术类型信息用于通知第二接入网设备:为终端分配第一终端标识的第一接入网设备与该第二接入网设备所使用的无线接入技术为不同的接入技术。
在一个示例中,第一消息还可以携带指示终端处于第一状态的信息,第二接入网设备可以根据该信息确定终端的状态。
在一个示例中,第一消息还可以携带发送指示,该发送指示用于指示终端是否有数据和/或信令需要发送,第二接入网设备可以根据该发送指示 确定终端是否有数据和/或信令需要发送。
在一个示例中,第一消息还可以携带寻呼区更新指示,第二接入网设备可以根据该寻呼区更新指示确定终端已经移动出上述寻呼区域。例如,在一种场景下,第二接入网设备管理多个小区,该多个小区中的部分小区属于寻呼区域,另一部分小区不属于寻呼区域,当终端移动到不属于寻呼区域的某个小区时,终端可以通过第一消息向第二接入网设备发送寻呼区更新指示,从而第二接入网设备可以根据该寻呼区更新指示确定终端你已经移动出上述寻呼区域。
在一个示例中,终端还可在向第二接入网设备发送第一消息后,接收第二接入网设备发送的连接建立指示;终端可以根据该连接建立指示,向核心网设备发送跟踪区更新命令。具体地,第二接入网设备接收第一消息后可以判断和第二接入网设备和第一接入网设备之间没有接口,则向终端发送连接建立指示,以指示所述终端重新建立连接。终端可以根据该连接建立指示,清除保存的连接上下文以重新建立连接,然后使用重新建立的连接向核心网设备发送跟踪区更新命令,以使得核心网设备根据跟踪区更新命令释放第一接入网与核心网设备之间的连接。
在604部分,第二接入网设备向第一接入网设备发送第一终端标识。
具体的,第二接入网设备可以根据第一消息确定终端从第一接入网设备移动到第二接入网设备,从而向第一接入网设备发送第一终端标识,以便获取终端的上下文。
在一个示例中,上述第一终端标识包括终端ID(identification)和接入网设备ID。当上述第一消息携带接入技术类型信息时,第二接入网设备可以根据第一终端标识和接入技术类型信息,确定终端在移动到第二接入网设备的范围之前所属的接入网设备为第一接入网设备,以便获取终端的上下文。具体的,第二接入网设备可以先根据接入技术类型信息确定终端移动前所属的接入网设备所采用的无线接入技术,然后在使用该无线接入技术的网络内通过接入网设备ID确定移动前所属的接入网设备为第一接入网设备,最后通过终端ID向第一接入网设备获取该终端的上下文。
在一个示例中,第二接入网设备可以通过一个消息来向第一接入网设备发送第一终端标识,为描述方便,将该消息称为第二消息。例如,第二 消息可以是终端信息指示消息、终端位置更新消息或上下文请求消息。在一种可能的实施方式中,第二接入网设备可以根据第一消息是否携带上述指示终端处于第一状态的信息,来确定向第一接入网设备发送第一终端标识所采用的消息。例如,若第一消息携带上述指示终端处于第一状态的信息,则第二接入网采用终端信息指示消息或者终端位置更新消息来向第一接入网设备发送第一终端标识;或者,若第一消息未携带上述指示终端处于第一状态的信息,则第二接入网采用上下文请求消息来向第一接入网设备发送第一终端标识。
在一个示例中,当第一消息携带指示终端处于第一状态的信息时,第二接入网设备还可以在第二消息中携带上述指示终端处于第一状态的信息,以便第一接入网根据所该信息判断终端当前的状态。
在一个示例中,当第一消息携带上述发送指示时,第二接入网设备还可以在第二消息中携带该发送指示,以便第一接入网根据该发送指示判断终端当前是否有数据和/或信令需要发送。
在一个示例中,当第一消息携带寻呼区更新指示时,第二接入网设备还可以在第二消息中携带所述寻呼区更新指示,以便第一接入网根据寻呼区更新指示判断终端当前是否已经移动出寻呼区。
在605部分,第一接入网设备根据第一终端标识向第二接入网设备发送终端的上下文或者终端挂起指示。
在一个示例中,第一接入网设备可以向第二接入网设备发送上下文传递消息,该上下文传递消息携带终端的上下文。其中,该上下文传递消息也可以称为上下文迁移消息。例如,该上下文迁移消息可以为切换消息或者上下文响应消息。
在一个示例中,若第一接入网设备确定将终端转入挂起状态,则可以向第二接入网设备发送终端挂起指示。上述挂起状态是指终端与核心网的接口保持在第一接入网设备但是该接口被去激活。第二接入网设备接收收到终端挂起指示后,可以根据该终端挂起指示向终端发送挂起命令。
在一个示例中,第一接入网设备可以根据第二消息的类型来确定终端的状态。例如,当第二消息为终端信息指示消息或终端位置更新消息时,第一接入网设备可以确定终端处于第一状态。进一步的,若第一接入网设 备确定终端处于第一状态,第一接入网设备可以执行上下文迁移过程或者挂起过程,并向第二接入网发送终端的上下文或者终端挂起指示。
在一种可能的实施方式中,第一接入网设备可以根据第二消息中是否携带上述发送指示或寻呼区更新指示来确定执行上下文迁移过程或挂起过程。例如,若第二消息中携带上述发送指示,则第一接入网设备执行上下文迁移过程;又例如,若第二消息中未携带上述发送指示,则第一接入网设备执行挂起过程;又例如,若第二消息中携带寻呼区更新指示,则第一接入网设备执行挂起过程。
在一个示例中,第一接入网可以根据第二消息是否携带上述指示终端处于第一状态的信息来确定终端的状态。例如,当第二消息携带上述指示终端处于第一状态的信息时,第一接入网设备可以确定终端处于第一状态。进一步的,若第一接入网设备确定终端处于第一状态,第一接入网设备可以执行上下文迁移过程或者挂起过程,并向第二接入网发送终端的上下文或者终端挂起指示。其中,第一接入网设备执行上下文迁移过程或挂起过程的具体实施方式与上一个示例中的上下文迁移过程或挂起过程的实施过程相似,可以参考上一个示例中的详细描述,此处不作赘述。
