Description

MBMS服务区域的管理方法及系统 技术领域
本公开涉及通信技术领域,例如涉及一种多媒体广播多播业务(Multimedia Broadcast Multicast Service,MBMS)服务区域的管理方法及系统。
背景技术
第四代移动通信长期演进(Long Term Evolution,LTE)系统中引入增强的多媒体广播多播业务(enhanced Multimedia Broadcast Multicast Service,eMBMS),在基于正交频分复用(Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing,OFDM)调制方式的前提下,提供了一种点对多点的广播信道,适用于具有视频功能的终端通过物理多播信道(Physical Multicasts Channel,PMCH)接收广播或组播形式的数字音频或视频业务。
随着无线通信技术的发展,eMBMS技术的应用需求逐渐向公共安全技术、集群通信、物联网、车联网等领域不断延伸,点对多点的广播信道业务模式受到重视。其中,第三代合作伙伴计划(Third Generation Partnership Project,3GPP)基于公共安全技术领域提出的关键任务一键通(Mission-critical push-to-talk,MCPTT)架构,更是明确使用eMBMS作为无线侧的技术方案。可以预见,在不远将来,eMBMS技术将在公共安全集群领域扮演重要的角色,给例如公安、消防、铁路、应急救灾等场景提供满足业务需求的集群服务。
在目前的协议中,eMBMS的业务覆盖范围是根据MBMS服务区域多播组播单频网络区域(MBSFN Area,MA)开展的。某项业务只能在其对应的一个或者多个MA内开展,即在对应的物理空间内开展。目前eMBMS支持较为灵活的MA配置,MA的覆盖范围可大可小,也可以通过后台自由调整,但是MA的配置方式始终是静态或者半静态的,导致无法适应某些使用场景的需求。

具体实施方式
对于某些使用场景,例如铁路系统的集群应急通信,某项业务需要在业务发起之后,将业务发起者周围一定范围内的相关用户全部接入该业务。而且,随着业务发起者自身物理位置的不断变化,业务的覆盖区域需要不断调整,使得新进入业务覆盖区域的用户加入集群,远离业务覆盖区域的用户自动退出。
本申请实施例提供一种MBMS服务区域的管理方法及系统,通过对业务发起终端的数据链路的识别,实时跟踪并通知业务发起终端所在的第一通信网元 (比如,基站)。由第一通信网元自动调整业务覆盖范围,形成一种随着业务发起终端的物理位置变化而调整的动态MBMS服务区域(MBMS area)。
图1为本申请实施例提供的MBMS服务区域的管理系统的示意图。如图1所示,本实施例提供的MBMS服务区域的管理系统,包括:第一通信网元11以及第二通信网元12;其中,第一通信网元11连接第二通信网元。
其中,第二通信网元12,设置为向第一通信网元11发送携带专属MBMS标识(MBMS ID)的第一会话建立请求。
第一通信网元11,设置为接收第一会话建立请求,根据接收到的位置通知消息或者第一区域判决消息,确定自身是否处于专属MBMS标识指示的专属MBMS的服务区域内。
其中,专属MBMS标识用于指示基于业务发起终端的物理位置变化动态调整服务区域的专属MBMS;位置通知消息用于指示业务发起终端当前处于第一通信网元11的覆盖范围内。
本实施例中,专属MBMS与普通MBMS的区别在于:专属MBMS对应的MBMS服务区域受限于业务发起终端的物理位置,而且是动态变化的。
本实施例中,第一区域判决消息可以用于指示该第一通信网元11邻接的第一通信网元与专属MBMS的服务区域中心的间隔。
在示例性实施方式中,第二通信网元12,可以用于在接收到携带专属MBMS标识的第二会话建立请求后,向第一通信网元11发送第一会话建立请求。
在示例性实施方式中,如图1所示,本实施例提供的管理系统还可以包括:第三通信网元13,第三通信网元13分别连接第一通信网元11和第二通信网元12。
第三通信网元13,可以设置为检测到专属MBMS,则监测该专属MBMS的业务发起终端所在的第一通信网元。
第三通信网元13,还可以设置为根据接收到的携带专属MBMS标识的第三会话建立请求,或者,根据该业务发起终端所在的第一通信网元的切换,向该业务发起终端当前所在的第一通信网元(比如,第一通信网元11)发送位置通知消息。
在示例性实施方式中,如图1所示,本实施例的系统还可以包括:业务发起终端(User Equipment,UE)10,设置为通过链路发送携带专属业务标识的数据。在一实施例中,专属业务标识用于指示专属MBMS标识,且专属业务标识 与专属MBMS标识之间存在对应关系。
在一实施例中,如图1所示,本实施例的系统还可以包括:业务服务器14,设置为接收携带专属业务标识的数据,根据该专属业务标识,确定与所述专属业务标识对应的专属MBMS标识,触发会话建立流程。
在示例性实施方式中,第一通信网元11可以包括基站(eNodeB),第二通信网元12可以包括多小区多播协调实体(Multi-cell/Multicast Coordination Entity,MCE),第三通信网元13可以包括移动管理实体(Mobility Management Entity,MME)。本申请对此并不限定。
图2为本申请实施例提供的MBMS服务区域的管理系统的示例图。在本示例中,以第一通信网元为eNodeB,第二通信网元为MCE,第三通信网元为MME,业务服务器为集群业务服务器(例如,MCPTT服务器)为例进行说明。
如图2所示,本示例提供的管理系统可以包括:UE 20、eNodeB 21、MCE 22、MME 23、集群业务服务器24、广播组播业务中心(Broadcast/Multicast Service Center,BM-SC)25和MBMS网关(MBMS Gate Way,MBMS-GW)26。其中,BM-SC 25和MBMS-GW 26是在多播业务发起过程中的参与者。
在本示例中,UE 20设置为在业务发起阶段携带专属业务标识,即作为业务发起终端。集群业务服务器24设置为识别当前发起的业务是否处于专属MBMS业务,并识别业务发起终端的相关信息。MCE 22设置为配置专属业务标识所对应的专属MBMS标识,并统一管理专属业务标识对应的信道资源,支持通过后台参数配置动态MBMS服务区域的范围。MME 23设置为监控业务发起终端的物理位置,并将业务发起终端的位置变化信息传递给eNodeB 21。在MCE 22与MME 23所属的多个eNodeB 21,分别设置为判断本eNodeB是否位于MBMS服务区域的动态范围之内,并指导无线资源管理策略。
在本示例中,基于业务发起终端的物理位置而动态调整MBMS服务区域的过程可以包括以下三个阶段:注册阶段、业务流程发起阶段以及动态区域生成阶段。下面基于本示例的管理系统对上述三个阶段分别进行说明。
本示例中,注册阶段可以包括以下过程。
MCE向MME上报专属MBMS ID,用于标识专属MBMS。在一实施例中,专属MBMS与其他普通MBMS的区别在于:专属MBMS对应的MBMS Area(服务区域)是受限于业务发起终端的位置并且动态变化的;专属MBMS ID可以在MCE与MME建立链路连接时携带给MME,或者,也可以通过独立的消 息专门携带给MME。
MCE给专属MBMS预留独立的多播资源,多播资源可以包括至少一个多播子帧。在一实施例中,MCE在专属MBMS发起时,针对这些多播资源进行调度。
MCE向eNodeB下发专属MBMS ID和动态区域范围标识。在一实施例中,动态区域范围标识可由后台配置,用于标明专属MBMS的服务区域的范围。比如,动态区域范围标识可以指示专属MBMS的服务区域边界相对于服务区域中心的最大间隔。专属MBMS ID和动态区域范围标识可以在eNodeB向MCE建立链路连接的响应(response)消息中携带,或者,也可以通过专门的配置消息主动向eNodeB下发。
集群业务服务器上设置专属MBMS所对应的专属MBMS ID以及支持专属MBMS ID的路由信息。
本示例中,业务流程发起阶段可以包括以下第一步至第五步。
第一步、发起专属集群业务。
本步骤中,UE发起专属集群业务,将专属业务标识写入用户面数据包,用于向集群业务服务器表明业务类型。在一实施例中,UE在发起业务时,使用一种专属服务质量等级标识符(QoS Class Identifier,QCI)申请承载链路。专属QCI可以是一种独立于标准协议之外的扩展QCI,专用于上述专属集群业务。
第二步、业务类型识别与发起。
集群业务服务器依据UE上报的专属业务标识,确定UE发起的业务处于基于业务发起终端的位置变化动态调整服务区域的专属MBMS,即专属MBMS ID的对应业务。集群业务服务器将业务发起终端发送的用户面数据、专属MBMS ID以及支持专属MBMS ID的路由信息,一同下发至BM-SC,触发eMBMS会话建立流程。
第三步、业务发起终端的位置监测。
在MME检测到某一数据链路的QCI处于专属QCI时,确认该数据链路承载需要进行监测。MME监测承载端eNodeB的物理标识(比如,网络协议(Internet Protocol,IP)地址)以及其变化情况,实时追踪并记录业务发起终端当前处于哪一个eNodeB的覆盖范围内。
第四步、MME向eNodeB通知业务发起终端的位置变化信息。
BM-SC执行标准的会话建立流程,当MME接收到来自MBMS-GW的携带 专属MBMS ID的会话建立请求(对应于上述的第三会话建立请求)时,MME依据对业务发起终端的位置监测记录,向当前业务发起终端所在的eNodeB发送位置通知消息,用于告知该eNodeB正在为业务发起终端提供无线接入。当业务发起终端发生越区切换时,MME根据位置监测记录的变化情况,向新的正在给业务发起终端提供无线接入的eNodeB发送位置通知消息,直至业务发起终端的业务承载拆除。
第五步、多播业务选择执行。
MME继续执行标准的会话建立流程,当eNodeB收到来自MCE的携带专属MBMS ID的会话连接请求(对应于上述的第一会话连接请求),以及对应的调度信息之后,eNodeB要先确认自身是否处于专属MBMS的动态服务区域内。
在一实施例中,当一个eNodeB判决本eNodeB不处于动态服务区域内时,该eNodeB保存MCE下发的相关配置信息,按照非多播子帧的模式调度其对应的无线资源;当一个eNodeB判决本eNodeB处于动态服务区域内时,执行后续的标准会话建立流程,即下发业务通知和相关配置参数,并正式加入多播组互联网协议(Internet Protocol,IP),在对应的无线资源位置上执行多播业务。
本示例中,动态区域生成阶段可以包括以下步骤一至步骤四。
第一步、eNodeB收到来自MCE的动态区域范围标识后,开始在本地维护区域判决参数,区域判决参数用于判决eNodeB是否处于动态服务区域内;区域判决参数包含以下三个元素:动态区域范围标识、中心位置偏移标识、以及序列号。
在一实施例中,动态区域范围标识接收自MCE,直接保存在本地。中心位置偏移标识由eNodeB自行维护,初始化数值与动态区域范围标识相同。序列号,由eNodeB自行维护,初始化数值为全0。
第二步、当某一个eNodeB收到MME发送的位置通知消息时,触发一次动态区域生成流程。在一实施例中,该eNodeB将本地保存的序列号加1,将本地保存的中心位置偏移标识置0;并且将本地保存的中心位置偏移标识加1后与更新后的序列号一起,组成区域判决消息(对应于上述的第二区域判决消息)。通过X2或者S1接口,将区域判决消息发送至该eNodeB的所有邻接的eNodeB,并进入第四步。
第三步、当某一个eNodeB收到区域判决消息(对应于上述的第一区域判决消息)时,若接收到的区域判决消息中携带的序列号与该eNodeB本地保存的序 列号的数值相同,则直接忽略接收到的区域判决消息,并结束流程;若接收到的区域判决消息中携带的序列号与该eNodeB本地保存的序列号的数值不相同,则保存接收到的区域判决消息中携带的序列号和中心位置偏移标识至本地。
若接收到的区域判决消息中携带的中心位置偏移标识与本地保存的动态区域范围标识的数值相同,则进入第四步;若接收到的区域判决消息中携带的中心位置偏移标识与本地保存的动态区域范围标识的数值不同,则将本地更新后的中心位置偏移标识加1并与更新后的序列号一起,组成区域判决消息(对应于上述的第二区域判决消息),然后,通过X2或者S1接口,将区域判决消息发送至该eNodeB的所有邻接的eNodeB,并进入第四步。
第四步、eNodeB比较更新后的本地保存的中心位置偏移标识与动态区域范围标识,若中心位置偏移标识小于动态区域范围标识,则该eNodeB判决本eNodeB处于动态服务区域,若中心位置偏移标识大于或等于动态区域范围标识,则判决本eNodeB不处于动态服务区域。
本实施例在保持了目前协议的多播业务发起流程的基础上,通过识别业务类型,监测业务发起终端的物理位置,由eNodeB自适应动态调整eMBMS的服务区域。在使用前景上,弥补了当前eMBMS业务无法适配特定使用场景的局限,适用于基于MCPTT的公共安全领域各类场景,例如铁路调度、灾难预警、视频监控等。而且,本实施例便于eMBMS的灵活部署,允许无线资源迅速在多播业务与非多播业务之间快速转换,即满足突发热点的资源使用要求,又避免资源浪费。另外,eNodeB自组织的动态区域调整模式,也普遍适用于其他应用场景。
图3为本申请实施例提供的一种MBMS服务区域的管理方法的流程图。如图3所示,本实施例提供的MBMS服务区域的管理方法,包括以下步骤S11-S12。
在S11中,第一通信网元接收携带专属MBMS标识的第一会话建立请求。
在S12中,第一通信网元根据接收到的位置通知消息或者第一通信网元的第一区域判决消息,确定自身是否处于专属MBMS标识指示的专属MBMS的服务区域内。
在一实施例中,专属MBMS标识用于指示基于业务发起终端的物理位置变化而动态调整服务区域的专属MBMS。位置通知消息用于指示业务发起终端当前处于该第一通信网元的覆盖范围内。
在一实施例中,第一区域判决消息可以用于指示该第一通信网元邻接的第 一通信网元与专属MBMS的服务区域中心的间隔。
在示例性实施方式中,步骤S12可以包括:
第一通信网元根据接收到的位置通知消息,更新本地保存的区域判决参数,根据更新后的区域判决参数,确定自身是否处于专属MBMS的服务区域内;或者,第一通信网元根据接收到的第一区域判决消息,更新本地保存的区域判决参数,根据更新后的区域判决参数,确定自身是否处于专属MBMS的服务区域内,其中,第一区域判决消息携带该第一通信网元邻接的第一通信网元的区域判决参数。
在示例性实施方式中,区域判决参数至少可以包括:动态区域范围标识和中心位置偏移标识。其中,动态区域范围标识用于指示专属MBMS的服务区域的范围,比如,可以指示专属MBMS的服务区域边界相对于服务区域中心的最大间隔。中心位置偏移标识用于指示第一通信网元与专属MBMS的服务区域中心之间的间隔。
在示例性实施方式中,第一通信网元根据更新后的区域判决参数,确定自身是否处于专属MBMS的服务区域内,可以包括:若第一通信网元本地保存的中心位置偏移标识小于动态区域范围标识,则确定自身处于专属MBMS的服务区域内;若第一通信网元本地保存的中心位置偏移标识大于或等于动态区域范围标识,则确定自身不处于专属MBMS的服务区域内。
在示例性实施方式中,第一通信网元根据接收到的位置通知消息,更新本地保存的区域判决参数,可以包括:若第一通信网元接收到位置通知消息,则将本地保存的中心位置偏移标识置0。如此,表明此时该第一通信网元处于专属MBMS的服务区域中心。
第一通信网元根据接收到的第一区域判决消息,更新本地保存的区域判决参数,可以包括:
若第一通信网元接收到第一区域判决消息,则将本地保存的中心位置偏移标识更新为接收到的第一区域判决消息中携带的所述第一通信网元临接的第一通信网元的区域判决参数中的中心位置偏移标识。其中,第一区域判决消息中携带的中心位置偏移标识与该邻接的第一通信网元本地保存的中心位置偏移标识之间的差值为1。换言之,第一通信网元通过第一区域判决消息可以向邻接的其他第一通信网元指示自身与专属MBMS的服务区域中心之间的间隔。
在示例性实施方式中,第一通信网元接收到位置通知消息后,本实施例的 方法还可以包括:
第一通信网元向自身邻接的第一通信网元广播第二区域判决消息。其中,第二区域判决消息携带的中心位置偏移标识等于该第一通信网元本地保存的中心位置偏移标识加1。
在示例性实施方式中,第一通信网元接收到第一区域判决消息后,本实施例的方法还可以包括:
若第一区域判决消息携带的所述第一通信网元临接的第一通信网元的区域判决参数内的中心位置偏移标识不等于第一通信网元本地保存的动态区域范围标识,则第一通信网元向自身邻接的第一通信网元广播第二区域判决消息,其中,第二区域判决消息携带的中心位置偏移标识等于该第一通信网元本地保存的中心位置偏移标识加1。
在示例性实施方式中,区域判决参数还可以包括:序列号。
其中,第一通信网元接收到位置通知消息或者第一区域判决消息后,本实施例的方法还可以包括:
第一通信网元根据接收到的位置通信消息,将本地保存的序列号加1;或者,第一通信网元根据接收到的第一区域判决消息,若确定第一区域判决消息携带的所述第一通信网元临接的第一通信网元的区域判决参数内的序列号等于自身本地保存的区域判决参数内的序列号,则第一通信网元丢弃接收到的第一区域判决消息。
本示例性实施方式中,第一通信网元可以通过接收到的第一区域判决消息携带的序列号,判断接收到的第一区域判决消息携带的区域判决参数是否可以使用,即确定是否进行动态服务区域的调整过程。然而,本申请对此并不限定。在其他实现方式中,可以在区域判决参数中设置其他元素实现上述功能。
在示例性实施方式中,在S11之前,本实施例的方法还可以包括:

下面通过多个实施例对本申请的方案进行说明。其中,下面的实施例基于图2所示的系统进行说明。
实施例一
本实施例说明了注册阶段的实施过程。在注册阶段,第二通信网元(本示例中为MCE)将相关标识发送至第一通信网元(本示例中为eNodeB)和第三通信网元(本示例中为MME),以便业务发起时的即时识别与追踪。
如图8所示,本实施例的注册阶段包括以下流程S101-S106。
在S101中,MCE设置专属MBMS ID,专属MBMS ID对应专属MBMS,该专属MBMS的服务区域基于业务发起终端的物理位置而动态变化。
在S102中,MCE设置动态区域范围标识,该动态区域范围标识指示专属MBMS的服务区域的范围。
在一实施例中,给业务发起终端提供无线接入的eNodeB作为动态服务区域的中心,动态区域范围标识可以指示专属MBMS的服务区域边界相对于服务区域中心的最大间隔(以小区为单位)。
在S103中,MCE设置专属MBMS ID相关的无线资源。
在一实施例中,无线资源可以包括位置固定的一个或者多个子帧,这些无线资源相对独立于其他多播业务的无线资源,当对应于专属MBMS ID的业务发起时,才调度这些资源,不会被其他多播业务占用。
在S104中,MCE向MME上报专属MBMS ID,用于MME判断业务是否已经发起,是否执行后续的位置通知流程。
在S105中,MCE向eNodeB发送专属MBMS ID和动态区域范围标识,分别用于eNodeB判断发起的多播业务是否处于需要生成动态服务区域的eMBMS业务,以及判断自身是否处于动态服务区域之内。
在S106中,集群业务服务器上设置专属MBMS ID以及支持专属MBMS ID的路由信息,用于eMBMS业务发起时,指导BM-SC为用户面数据流提供正确的路由。
本申请对于上述步骤的执行顺序并不限定。比如,S104可以在S103之后执行,S105可以在S103之后执行,S106可以在S101之前或与S101同时执行。
实施例二
本实施例说明了业务流程发起阶段的实施过程。其中,业务流程发起阶段包含业务发起终端将用户面数据流发送至集群服务器的上行业务,也包含集群服务器通过eMBMS多播技术将用户面数据流分发的下行广播业务。
整体的业务发起流程可以包含上、下行业务,都是在长期演进技术(Long Term Evolution,LTE)标准业务流程基础上,引入业务识别、位置检测、位置通知、以及区域判决等机制后实现的。
如图9所示,本实施例的执行过程如下S201-S216。
在S201中,终端(UE)发起专属集群业务,将专属业务标识写入用户面数据包,在申请建立专用承载时,使用预先协商好的专属QCI,以区别于普通的专用业务承载。
在S202中,当MME检测到某一承载链路QCI处于专属QCI时,确认该链路承载所对应的业务处于基于业务发起终端位置的动态区域eMBMS业务时,开始对该承载进行监测;MME监测承载端eNodeB的物理标识(比如,IP地址)以及其变化情况,实时追踪并记录,用于监测业务发起终端当前处于哪一个eNodeB的覆盖范围。
在S203中,集群业务服务器(比如,MCPTT Server)依据终端上报的专属业务标识,判断该业务处于基于业务发起终端位置的eMBMS业务,即专属MBMS ID的对应业务。
在S204中,集群业务服务器查找专属MBMS ID对应的路由信息,将接收的用户面数据流、路由信息以及专属MBMS ID一同下发至BM-SC,触发eMBMS会话建立流程。
在S205中,BM-SC依据路由信息,向对应的MBMS-GW发送会话建立请 求,本流程属于标准的eMBMS会话建立流程,不同在于携带专属MBMS ID。
在S206中,MBMS-GW向BM-SC发送会话建立响应消息。
在S207中,MBMS-GW依据路由信息,向对应的MME发送会话建立请求(对应于上述第三会话建立请求),本流程属于标准的eMBMS会话建立流程,不同在于携带专属MBMS ID。
在S208中,MME接收到来自MBMS-GW的携带专属MBMS ID的会话建立请求时,MME依据对业务发起终端的位置监测记录,向当前业务发起终端所在的eNodeB发送位置通知消息,用于告知该eNodeB正在为业务发起终端提供无线接入;当业务发起终端发生越区切换时,MME可以根据位置监测记录的变化情况,向新的正在提供无线接入的eNodeB发送位置通知消息,直至业务发起终端的业务承载拆除。
在S209中,MME依据路由信息,向对应的MCE发送会话建立请求(对应上述的第二会话建立请求),本流程属于标准的eMBMS会话建立流程,不同在于携带专属MBMS ID。
在S210中,MCE向MME发送会话建立响应消息。
在S211中,MME向MBMS-GW发送会话建立响应消息。
在S212和S214中,MCE接收到来自MME的携带专属MBMS ID的会话建立请求(对应于上述的第二会话建立请求)时,判断业务类型为基于业务发起终端位置的eMBMS业务,在预留的专属多播资源上配置调度信息,向对应的eNodeB发送会话建立请求(对应于上述的第一会话建立请求)和调度信息;上述过程与标准的MCE处理流程类似,不同在于资源调度要针对专属的多播子帧而不是全体多播子帧。
在S213中,eNodeB发送会话建立响应消息。
在S215中,eNodeB发送调度信息响应消息。
在S216中,当eNodeB收到来自MCE的携带专属MBMS ID的会话连接请求(对应于上述的第一会话建立请求),以及对应的调度信息之后,eNodeB先要确认自身是否处于动态服务区域。
其中,当一个eNodeB判决自身不处于动态服务区域内时,该eNodeB仅仅是保存MCE下发的相关配置信息,按照非多播子帧的模式调度其对应的无线资源;当一个eNodeB判决自身处于动态服务区域范围内时,执行后续的标准会话建立流程,即下发MBMS控制信道(MBMS Control Channel,MCCH)通知和 相关MBSFN配置参数,并正式加入多播组IP,在对应的无线资源位置上执行多播业务。
实施例三
本实施例说明eNodeB接收到MME发送的位置通知消息或者其他eNodeB发送的区域判决消息之后,确认是否处于动态的服务区域的过程。
本实施例中,每个eNodeB均保存区域判决参数,区域判决参数包含以下三个元素:动态区域范围标识、中心位置偏移标识、以及序列号。其中,动态区域范围标识,接收自MCE,直接保存在本地;中心位置偏移标识,由eNodeB自行维护,初始化数值与动态区域范围标识相同;序列号,由eNodeB自行维护,初始化数值为全0。
如图10所示,本实施例的过程包括如下S301-S308。
在S301中,eNodeB判断是否收到来自MME的位置通知消息;若收到,则执行S302,否则,执行S305。
在S302中,eNodeB将本地保存的序列号加1,并将本地保存的中心位置偏移标识置0。
在S303中,eNodeB将本地保存的中心位置偏移标识加1,与更新后的序列号一起,组成区域判决消息(对应于上述的第二区域判决消息),然后,通过X2或者S1接口,将区域判决消息发送至该eNodeB的所有邻接的eNodeB;之后,执行S304。
在S304中,该eNodeB将中心位置偏移标识与动态区域范围标识进行比较;若中心位置偏移标识小于动态区域范围标识,则判决自身处于动态服务区域内,开启业务;若中心位置偏移标识大于或等于动态区域范围标识,则判决自身不处于动态服务区域内,停发业务。
在S305中,eNodeB判断是否收到来自自身邻接的eNodeB的区域判决消息(对应于上述的第一区域判决消息);若收到,则执行S306,否则该eNodeB确定自己不处于专属业务的服务区域,停发业务。
在S306中,该eNodeB判断接收到的区域判决消息中携带的序列号与本地保存的序列号的数值是否相同;若相同,则直接忽略接收到的区域判决消息,结束流程;否则,执行S307。
在S307中,该eNodeB保存接收到的区域判决消息中携带的序列号和中心位置偏移标识至本地。本步骤中,该eNodeB将本地保存的序列号和中心位置偏 移标识更新为接收到的区域判决消息中携带的序列号和中心位置偏移标识。
在S308中,该eNodeB判断接收到的区域判决消息中携带的中心位置偏移标识与本地保存的动态区域范围标识的数值是否相同;若相同,则执行S304,否则,执行S303,即将中心位置偏移标识加1后与序列号一起组成区域判决消息(对应于上述的第二区域判决消息),然后通过X2或者S1接口,将区域判决消息发送至该eNodeB的所有邻接的eNodeB。
实施例四
本实施例说明了每个eNodeB在初始状态下首次生成动态服务区域的执行过程。
本实施例中,每个eNodeB均保存区域判决参数,区域判决参数包含以下三个元素:动态区域范围标识、中心位置偏移标识、以及序列号。其中,动态区域范围标识,接收自MCE,直接保存在本地,本示例中,初始值为3;中心位置偏移标识,由eNodeB自行维护,初始化数值与动态区域范围标识相同;序列号,由eNodeB自行维护,初始化数值为全0。即,本实施例中,每个eNodeB的初始区域判决参数为(3,3,0000)。
