Description
Technical field
The present invention relates to radio honeycomb communication system, more particularly, under LTE base station from home deployment scenario, propose a kind of method and base station from home of judging base station from home and home base-station gateway annexation.
Background technology
(Home eNB is a kind of small-sized, lower powered base station HeNB) to base station from home, is deployed in indoor places such as family and office.The main advantage of base station from home is higher service rate to be provided and to reduce the needed expense of high rate services of using to the user, simultaneously, remedies the deficiency that existing distributed cellular radio communication system covers.The advantage of base station from home is economical, convenient, low-power output, plug and play etc.
(Third Generation Partnership Projects, (Long Term Evolution, LTE) the household base station network configuration diagram in the system is as illustrating shown in 1 for the senior Long Term Evolution of 3GPP) releasing for third generation partnership project.Wherein, HeNB is connected with core network element based on the core network interface agreement that defines in the standard, and (User Equipment UE) inserts HeNB based on the interface protocol of eating dishes without rice or wine that defines in the standard to subscriber equipment.To a great extent, HeNB and common macro base station (Macro eNB) do not have difference on the function of being born.Planning demand Network Based, under some deployment scenario, (Mobile Management Entity also possibly introduce a new network element between MME): home base-station gateway (HeNB GateWay, HeNB GW) for HeNB and core network element mobile management entity.The function that HeNB GW mainly bears is: relaying transmit and/or termination HeNB and MME between chain of command and/or termination HeNB and gateway (Serving Gateway, the function of the user face data grouping between S-GW); UE for access network selects serving MME; Bear the relevant function of paging operation of part.(Security Gateway SeGW) is the relevant function of safety that is used for bearing in the network to security gateway among Fig. 1.(HeNB Management System, the function of HeMS) mainly bearing is for to be configured bookkeeping to HeNB for the base station from home management system.
The existing systems requirement, the introducing of HeNB GW can not exert an influence to existing network infrastructure, and the signaling that HeNB GW is relevant, message, interactive operation etc. all need be followed the principle of transparent design.Based on the principle of transparent design, for HeNB, HeNB GW is equal to a MME, and for MME, HeNB GW is equal to a HeNB.Because the incomprehensiveness that HeNB GW exists; HeNB can't know that setting up opposite end network element that S1 is connected with it is MME or HeNB is GW, so can cause some signaling message in the certain operations flow process of existing network to carry redundant cell and/or redundant signaling in operating process, occurs.
Can know that based on the existing standard protocol status scene that exists to HeNB GW need be carried the more cell of transmission in HeNB mails to some signaling message of MME.For example; Can know based on LTE consensus standard document description; UE accomplishes in the operating process of switching based on X2 interface; If target BS is the HeNB that is connected to MME through HeNB GW, then target HeNB in mailing to the route conversion request of MME (PATH SWITCH REQUEST) message, need carry extraly source MME global unique identification (Globally Unique MME Identifier, GUMMEI).Yet because the incomprehensiveness that HeNB GW exists, when HeNB GW did not exist, this cell also need carry transmission in route conversion request signaling, promptly caused the transmission of carrying of redundant cell.In addition; In the Signalling exchange flow process of some operation, to the scene that HeNB GW exists, HeNB needs extra interpolation, and some mail to the signaling of MME; Because the incomprehensiveness that HeNB GW exists; Under the non-existent scene of HeNB GW, these signalings also need transmission, promptly can cause the situation of redundant signaling transmission to take place.For example; When UE accomplish based on the X2 switching flow switch to target BS from source HeNB after; Source HeNB need discharge the contextual information that switches the UE that leaves based on the Indication message that receives target BS; If source HeNB is connected to MME through HeNB GW, then also need to trigger by source HeNB further the context of the HeNB GW release UE of its connection.Yet; Because the incomprehensiveness that HeNB GW exists; When HeNB was not connected to HeNB GW, source HeNB still can send message trigger HeNB GW and discharge the UE context, under this scene; MME promptly can receive redundant signaling, handles these redundancies so need system to add extra treatment mechanism.

Embodiment 1
When UE and HeNB accomplish when eating dishes without rice or wine to be connected, HeNB can connect for this UE set up relative S1 signaling logic, and sends UE initial message (INITIAL UEMESSAGE) to core network element MME.After core network element MME receives this message, can accomplish a series of contextual informations based on the content of this message and set up and connect operation such as establishments, and can send INITIAL CONTEXT SETUP REQUEST message to HeNB to these UE.
When HeNB is connected to HeNB GW, need passes through HeNB GW from the INITIAL CONTEXTSETUP REQUEST message of MME transmission and just can arrive HeNB.When INITIALCONTEXT SETUP REQUEST message is forwarded to HeNB through HeNB GW; HeNBGW need carry two extra IE in this message; The UE sign (MME UE S1AP ID 2) that GUMMEI and MME distribute; Wherein, GUMMEI is the sign of serving the MME of this UE, and MME UE S1AP ID 2 is the service identifiers that distributed for this UE by the MME that serves this UE.When HeNB is not connected to HeNB GW, but when being directly connected to MME, in INITIALCONTEXT SETUP REQUEST message, then can not carry above-mentioned two IE.
As illustrate 2; When HeNB2 receives the INITIAL CONTEXTSETUP REQUEST message that comes from the S1 interface, can carry out decision, in this message, carry cell GUMMEI and MME UE S1AP ID 2; Then can to determine oneself be to be connected to HeNB GW to HeNB2; Otherwise, then can determine and oneself not be connected to HeNB GW, but be directly connected to MME.After HeNB2 accomplishes decision, the value of a state variable of creating before it then is set according to the result of this decision, for convenience, naming this state variable is HeGW_Conn_State.After the value of HeGW_Conn_State was provided with completion, the value of HeGW_Conn_State can reflect whether this HeNB is connected to HeNB GW.
As illustrate 2; A certain UE is based in the handover operation process of X2 handover operation flow performing from the source base station to HeNB2; HeNB2 can switch the route conversion request message (PATH SWITCH REQUEST) of completion stage to the MME transmission; This message can trigger MME and carry out correspondingly operation, changes and then accomplish the handover operation of UE from the source base station to HeNB2 to accomplish core net to the route of UE.HeNB2 sends PATH SWITCH REQUEST message based on the S1 interface before, need at first to judge how to encapsulate this message that concrete decision is following:
HeNB2 at first checks the value of the HeGW_Conn_State state variable that oneself is preserved; If it oneself is to be connected to HeNB GW that the value of HeGW_Conn_State reflects; Then in being about to the PATH SWITCH REQUEST message of sending, need carry source MME sign (Source MMEGUMMEI) cell, this cell is the sign that is used for indicating the serving MME of UE when being connected to core net based on source base station of carrying out handover operation.If the value of HeGW_Conn_State reflects that it is not connected to HeNB GW, then in being about to the PATH SWITCH REQUEST message of sending, need not carry Source MME GUMMEI cell.
When HeNB2 accomplishes the encapsulation of PATH SWITCH REQUEST signaling message according to foregoing description after, can send this message based on the S1 interface.
Embodiment 2
With embodiment 1, in the present embodiment, HeNB1 carries out decision based on the INITIAL CONTEXTSETUP REQUEST message that receives, and the value that state variable HeGW_Conn_State further is set is to reflect whether it is connected to HeNB GW.As shown in Figure 3; A certain UE is based in the handover operation process of X2 handover operation flow performing from HeNB1 to the target BS; Switching the completion stage; Target BS can send UE context release message (UECONTEXT REEASE) to HeNB1, to trigger the context that HeNB1 discharges the UE that is carrying out handover operation.After HeNB1 received UE CONTEXT RELEASE, it was following to carry out decision further:
HeNB1 at first checks the value of the HeGW_Conn_State state variable that oneself is preserved; If it oneself is to be connected to HeNB GW that the value of HeGW_Conn_State reflects; Then decidable need send Indication message to the HeNB of its connection GW based on the S1 interface, to trigger the context that HeNB GW discharges the UE that is carrying out handover operation.If the value of HeGW_Conn_State reflects that oneself is not connected to HeNB GW, then decidable need not trigger with it and set up the context that opposite end network element that S1 is connected discharges the UE that is carrying out handover operation.
After HeNB1 accomplishes above-mentioned decision, can carry out operation further based on result of determination.
Embodiment 3
With embodiment 1; In the present embodiment; HeNB1 and HeNB2 still carry out decision based on the INITIAL CONTEXT SETUP REQUEST message that receives, and the value that state variable HeGW_Conn_State further is set is to reflect whether it is connected to HeNB GW.After HeNB1 and HeNB2 have known whether it is connected to the result of HeNB GW; Inform opposite end HeNB storage each other and/or upgrade the result of determination that whether is connected to HeNB GW each other based on X2 interface, and the value of preserving the other side's connection status variable HeGW_Conn_State.
As illustrate 4, when a certain UE based on the handover operation process of X2 handover operation flow performing from HeNB1 to HeNB2 in, in handoff preparation phase, HeNB1 needs the execution decision before sending handoff request (HANDOVER REQUEST) message to HeNB2, as follows:
HeNB1 at first checks the value that reflects the state variable HeGW_Conn_State_1 that oneself whether is directly connected to HeNB GW and reflects whether HeNB2 is directly connected to the value of the state variable HeGW_Conn_State_2 of HeNB GW.If the value of two state variables reflects HeNB1 and HeNB2 and all is not connected to HeNB GW; And HeNB1 and HeNB2 are unique when being connected to a MME; Then in being about to the HANDOVER REQUEST message of sending, need not carry cell GUMMEI, this cell is the sign that is used for indicating the serving MME of UE when being connected to core net based on HeNB1 of carrying out handover operation.If when not satisfying condition or discontented sufficient HeNB1 and HeNB2 that HeNB1 and HeNB2 be not connected to HeNB GW and all be the unique condition that is connected to a MME, then in being about to the HANDOVER REQUEST message of sending, need carry cell GUMMEI.
When HeNB1 accomplish carry the decision of content for HANDOVER REQUEST signaling message after, can encapsulate and send this message based on X2 interface.
