Description

行動台及基地台 Mobile station and base station 發明領域 Field of invention

本發明是有關於行動台、基地台及發送/接收開始判斷方法。 The present invention relates to a mobile station, a base station, and a transmission/reception start determination method.

發明背景 Background of the invention

在LTE(Long Term Evolution:長期演進技術)系統中,分成存取層(AS:Access-Stratum)之安全功能及非存取層(NAS:Non-Access-Stratum)之安全功能,針對與基地台(eNB:evolved Node B:演進節點B)及行動台(UE:User Equipment:用戶設備)間之存取層的安全關聯參數(用以設定安全金鑰之參數),是由eNB所管理。 In the LTE (Long Term Evolution) system, it is divided into an access layer (AS: Access-Stratum) security function and a non-access layer (NAS: Non-Access-Stratum) security function for the base station. The security association parameter (the parameter for setting the security key) between the access layer (eNB: evolved Node B) and the mobile station (UE: User Equipment) is managed by the eNB.

圖1顯示LTE系統中之安全金鑰的產生順序。在LTE系統中,依據AKA(Authentication and Key Agreement:認證與金鑰協議)來產生安全金鑰。 Figure 1 shows the order in which the security keys are generated in the LTE system. In the LTE system, a security key is generated in accordance with AKA (Authentication and Key Agreement).

首先,在USIM(Universal Subscriber Identity Module:通用用戶識別模組)與AuC(Authentication Center:認證中心)之間共用金鑰K。在每次進行網路與用戶的相互認證時,產生有使用在加密及完全性保證之金鑰CK(Cipher Key:加密金鑰)、IK(Integrity Key:完整性金鑰)。當UE連接(attach)網路時,UE及HSS(Home Subscriber Service:歸屬用戶服務)是從金鑰CK、IK產生KASME。在UE與MME(Mobility Management Entity:移動管理實體)之間之NAS(Network Attached Storage:網路附加存取)協議之加密(encrypt)用的金鑰KNASenc及安全性保證用之金鑰KNASint是從KASME所產生。在UE連到網路時,MME是產生金鑰KeNB,且傳遞給eNB。在交遞(handover)時,RRC連線組態重置(Connection Reconfiguration)一結束,重新產生KeNB。從該KeNB產生一作為U-Plane資料加密之金鑰KUPenc、及RRC(Radio Resource Control:無線來源控制)用之加密及完全性保證用之金鑰KRRCint、KRRCenc。另,亦有不產生U-Plane資料之完全性保證用之金鑰KUPint的時候(參考3GPP TS 33.401 V11.7.0(2013-06))。 First, the key K is shared between the USIM (Universal Subscriber Identity Module) and the AuC (Authentication Center). Each time the mutual authentication between the network and the user is performed, a key CK (Cipher Key) and an IK (Integrity Key) used for encryption and integrity are generated. When the UE connects to the network, the UE and the HSS (Home Subscriber Service) generate K ASME from the keys CK and IK. UE and MME: NAS between the (Mobility Management Entity MME): key K NASenc and safety (Network Attached Storage additional access network) encryption Agreement (the encrypt) with a guarantee of the key K NASint It is produced from K ASME . When the UE is connected to the network, the MME generates the key K eNB and delivers it to the eNB. At the time of handover, the RRC connection configuration reset (Connection Reconfiguration) ends, and the K eNB is regenerated. From the K eNB, a key K ingint and K RRCenc for encryption and completeness guarantee for U-Plane data encryption and UP and RRC (Radio Resource Control) are generated . In addition, there is also the case when the key KUPint for the complete guarantee of the U-Plane data is not generated (refer to 3GPP TS 33.401 V11.7.0 (2013-06)).

發明概要 Summary of invention

如上述,在LTE系統,存取層的安全功能是在UE與eNB之間予以實現。 As described above, in the LTE system, the security function of the access layer is implemented between the UE and the eNB.

另一方面,檢討了UE使用2個以上的eNB之資源進行資料通訊之雙重連線(Dual Connectivity)。雙重連線(Dual Connectivity)是使用在不同的eNB所轄之細胞群來實現高輸出量(throughput)之載波聚合(CA:Carrier Aggregation)之一形態,亦稱為inter eNB CA。 On the other hand, the dual connectivity of the UE using the resources of two or more eNBs for data communication is reviewed. Dual Connectivity is a form of carrier aggregation (CA) that uses high cell populations under different eNBs to manage high throughput (CA), also known as inter eNB CA.

在雙重連線(Dual Connectivity),不同eNB的各自的細胞群是假設為使用不同的頻率。在雙重連線(Dual Connectivity),是設定有擔保與UE之連接性之可靠性高之主細胞群(MSG:Master Cell Group)、及對主細胞群追加設定連接中的UE之次細胞群(SCG:Secondary Cell Group)。對應於MCG之基地台是叫做MeNB(Master eNB:主基地台),對應於SCG之基地台是叫做SeNB(Secondary eNB:次基地台)。 In Dual Connectivity, the respective cell populations of different eNBs are assumed to use different frequencies. In Dual Connectivity, it is a master cell group (MSG: Master Cell Group) that is highly reliable in securing connectivity with the UE, and a secondary cell group in which UEs are additionally connected to the main cell group ( SCG: Secondary Cell Group). The base station corresponding to the MCG is called MeNB (Master eNB: Master Base Station), and the base station corresponding to SCG is called SeNB (Secondary eNB: Sub Base Station).

圖2顯示了雙重連線(Dual Connectivity)之概念圖。圖2所示之雙重連線(Dual Connectivity)之連接形態是被稱為架構選項(Architecture option)1,PDCP(Packet Data Convergence Protocol:封包資料匯聚通訊協定)實體(entity)存在於不同的eNB。因此安全關聯參數亦以各自的eNB管理,與MCG通訊用之安全金鑰(以下叫做MeNB用安全金鑰KeNB)、和與SCG通訊用之安全金鑰(以下叫做SeNB用安全金鑰SKeNB)不同。 Figure 2 shows a conceptual diagram of Dual Connectivity. The connection form of the Dual Connectivity shown in FIG. 2 is called an architecture option 1, and the PDCP (Packet Data Convergence Protocol) entity exists in different eNBs. Therefore, the security association parameters are also managed by the respective eNBs, the security key for communication with the MCG (hereinafter referred to as the MeNB security key K eNB ), and the security key for communication with the SCG (hereinafter referred to as the SeNB security key SK eNB). )different.

另一方面,安全關聯參數是以RRC訊息通知到UE,SeNB不能將RRC訊息發送至UE。為此,SeNB不能掌握UE設定安全金鑰的契機。UE與SeNB不以預定的契機運用安全金鑰時,有UE不能正確接收SeNB所發送之資料之可能性存在,又,SeNB就算能正確地接收UE發送之資料,亦有不能正確發送S-GW(Serving Gateway:服務閘道)而將之廢棄可能性存在。 On the other hand, the security association parameter is notified to the UE by the RRC message, and the SeNB cannot send the RRC message to the UE. For this reason, the SeNB cannot grasp the opportunity for the UE to set the security key. When the UE and the SeNB do not use the security key at a predetermined opportunity, there is a possibility that the UE cannot correctly receive the data sent by the SeNB, and the SeNB can correctly receive the data sent by the UE, and the S-GW cannot be correctly transmitted. (Serving Gateway: service gateway) and the possibility of discarding it exists.

較佳實施例之詳細說明 Detailed description of the preferred embodiment

以下,參考附圖說明本發明之實施例。 Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

在本發明的實施例,針對在載波聚合(CA)之中行動台使用不同的基地台所轄之細胞群通訊之形態予以說明。將如此之CA之連接形態稱為雙重連線(Dual Connectivity)。 In the embodiment of the present invention, a description will be given of a form in which a mobile station manages cell group communication under different base stations in carrier aggregation (CA). Such a connection form of CA is referred to as Dual Connectivity.

在圖2所示之例中,行動台(UE)是使用2個基地台(MeNB及SeNB)所轄之不同頻率的細胞群通訊,以此實現雙重連線(Dual Connectivity)。在雙重連線(Dual Connectivity), 設定擔保與UE之連接性且可靠性高之主細胞群(MCG)、及對主細胞群追加設定連接中的UE之次細胞群(SCG)。對應於MCG之基地台是叫做MeNB,對應於SCG之基地台是叫做SeNB。此外,在圖2中是設定有2個細胞群,不過亦可設定3個以上之細胞群。 In the example shown in FIG. 2, the mobile station (UE) is a dual-wire (Dual Connectivity) using cell group communication of different frequencies under the jurisdiction of two base stations (MeNB and SeNB). In Dual Connectivity, A primary cell population (MCG) that guarantees connectivity to the UE and is highly reliable is set, and a secondary cell population (SCG) of the UE that is connected to the primary cell population is additionally set. The base station corresponding to the MCG is called MeNB, and the base station corresponding to SCG is called SeNB. In addition, in FIG. 2, two cell groups are set, but three or more cell groups may be set.

在雙重連線(Dual Connectivity)中,從S-GW且經由MeNB而設定於UE之承載(bearer)、及從S-GW且經由SeNB而設定於UE之承載亦可不同。這是在如下之形態產生。 In Dual Connectivity, the bearer set to the UE from the S-GW and via the MeNB and the bearer set to the UE from the S-GW and via the SeNB may be different. This is produced in the following form.

(1)初次追加SeNB之細胞時在MeNB下卸載(offload)通訊中的承載(切換)之形態; (2)對已設定之SeNB追加新的承載之形態; (3)對已設定之SeNB在MeNB下卸載(offload)通訊中的承載之形態。 (1) a mode in which a bearer (offload) in communication is offloaded under MeNB when a cell of the SeNB is added for the first time; (2) adding a new bearer to the set SeNB; (3) A form in which the set SeNB is offloaded in the communication under the MeNB.

在如此的形態下,有PDCP(Packet Data Convergence Protocol:封包資料聚合協定)實體存在不同的eNB,因此安全關聯參數亦由各自的eNB來管理。 In such a configuration, there are different eNBs in the PDCP (Packet Data Convergence Protocol) entity, and thus the security association parameters are also managed by the respective eNBs.

另一方面,安全關聯參數是以RRC訊息向UE通知,SeNB不能將RRC訊息發送至UE,因此SeNB之安全關聯參數是以來自MeNB之RRC訊息通知到UE。以下說明具體例。 On the other hand, the security association parameter is notified to the UE by the RRC message, and the SeNB cannot send the RRC message to the UE, so the security association parameter of the SeNB is notified to the UE by the RRC message from the MeNB. Specific examples will be described below.

圖3是顯示雙重連線(Dual Connectivity)中之SeNB用安全金鑰之設定程序。 FIG. 3 is a procedure for setting a security key for a SeNB in Dual Connectivity.

UE是定期地將訊號品質的測定結果(Meas Report)向MeNB報告(S11)。MeNB,在根據測定結果而判斷為須追加SeNB之細胞時,產生SeNB用安全金鑰SKeNB(S13)。具體來說,如圖4所示,SeNB用安全金鑰SKeNB是經由SKeNB=KDF(KeNB,SCC)所產生。惟,KDF是用以產生安全金鑰之散列函數(hash function),KeNB是MeNB用安全金鑰,SCC(SKeNB chaining count)是用以界定安全金鑰SKeNB之計數器。隨著SeNB用安全金鑰SKeNB的產生,從該SKeNB,產生U-Plane資料加密之金鑰即SKUPenc。另,有U-Plane資料之完整性保證用的金鑰即KUPint無法產生的時候。 The UE periodically reports the measurement result (Meas Report) of the signal quality to the MeNB (S11). When it is determined that the cell of the SeNB has to be added based on the measurement result, the MeNB generates the SeNB secure key SK eNB (S13). Specifically, as shown in FIG. 4, the SeNB uses the secure key SK eNB to be generated via SK eNB =KDF (K eNB , SCC). However, the KDF is a hash function for generating a security key, the K eNB is a security key for the MeNB, and the SCC (SK eNB chaining count) is a counter for defining the security key SK eNB . As the SeNB generates the secure key SK eNB , the SK eNB generates a key for U-Plane data encryption, that is, SK UPenc . In addition, when the key for integrity guarantee of U-Plane data is KUPint, it cannot be generated.

然後,為了指示SeNB之細胞的追加,MeNB將含有所產生之安全金鑰SKeNB之資訊之SCG附加指示(addition indication)發送至SeNB(S15)。SeNB對SCG附加指示設定SeNB用安全金鑰SKeNB,並且將含有向UE通知之安全金鑰之參數SCG附加請求(addition request)發送至MeNB(S17)。在該時點上,SeNB變成能使用SeNB用安全金鑰SKeNB(S19)。 Then, in order to indicate the addition of the cells of the SeNB, the MeNB transmits an SCG additional indication containing the information of the generated security key SK eNB to the SeNB (S15). The SeNB adds an instruction to the SCG to set the SeNB security key SK eNB and transmits a parameter SCG additional request (sition request) including the security key notified to the UE to the MeNB (S17). At this point of time, the SeNB becomes able to use the SeNB secure key SK eNB (S19).

MeNB經由RRC連線組態重置(Connection Reconfiguration),而將SCG附加請求所含之安全金鑰之參數發送至UE(S21)。UE設定SeNB用安全金鑰SKeNB,並為了報告RRC連線組態重置之設定已完成之事,將RRC連線組態重置完成(Connection Reconfiguration Complete)發送至MeNB(S23)。在此時點上,UE就變成能使用SeNB用安全金鑰SKeNB(S25)。然後,MeNB將SCG附加回應(addition response)發送至SeNB,作為對於SCG附加請求之回應 (S27)。 The MeNB transmits a parameter of the security key included in the SCG attach request to the UE via the RRC connection configuration (Connection Reconfiguration) (S21). The UE sets the SeNB security key SK eNB and sends the RRC connection configuration complete connection (Connection Reconfiguration Complete) to the MeNB (S23) in order to report that the setting of the RRC connection configuration reset has been completed. At this point, the UE becomes able to use the SeNB secure key SK eNB (S25). Then, the MeNB transmits an SCG additional response to the SeNB as a response to the SCG attach request (S27).

如上述,SeNB設定SeNB用安全金鑰SKeNB之時序與UE設定SeNB用安全金鑰SKeNB之時序不同,SeNB不能直接掌握UE設定有SeNB用安全金鑰之時序。進而,SeNB亦不能掌握UE是否已正常地設定SeNB用安全金鑰。因此,針對上述三種情況,如下規定安全金鑰設定之時序。 As described above, SeNB set SeNB set SeNB with the timing of the safety key SK eNB with different security keys SK eNB and UE's timing, SeNB SeNB not directly control the timing of a UE Security Key is set. Furthermore, the SeNB cannot grasp whether the UE has normally set the SeNB security key. Therefore, for the above three cases, the timing of the security key setting is specified as follows.

(1)的情況,在藉UE所進行之隨機存取程序完成時,UE及SeNB雙方開始上行鏈路資料及下行鏈路資料之通訊。 In the case of (1), when the random access procedure performed by the UE is completed, both the UE and the SeNB start communication of the uplink data and the downlink data.

(2)及(3)的情況,在藉UE所進行之隨機存取程序已完成時,UE及SeNB雙方開始上行鏈路資料及下行鏈路資料之發送/接收。或者是,在藉UE所進行之安全金鑰之設定已完成時,UE開始上行鏈路資料之發送及下行鏈路資料之接收,在建立了與核心網路之路徑時,SeNB開始下行鏈路資料之發送,在藉SeNB所進行之安全金鑰之設定已完成時,開始上行鏈路資料之接收。 In the case of (2) and (3), when the random access procedure by the UE is completed, both the UE and the SeNB start transmission/reception of uplink data and downlink data. Alternatively, when the setting of the security key by the UE is completed, the UE starts the transmission of the uplink data and the reception of the downlink data. When the path with the core network is established, the SeNB starts the downlink. The transmission of the data starts the reception of the uplink data when the setting of the security key by the SeNB is completed.

另,藉UE所進行之隨機存取程序亦可藉來自網路側(例如MeNB)之指示予以實施。例如,在RRC連線組態重置指定RA程序起動IE(RA procedure initiate IE)或者是指定隨機存取通道前導IE(Dedicated RACH preamble IE),藉此亦可對UE促進隨機存取程序的實施。 In addition, the random access procedure performed by the UE may also be implemented by an instruction from the network side (for example, MeNB). For example, the RRC connection configuration reset specifies the RA procedure initiate IE or the designated RACH preamble IE, thereby facilitating the implementation of the random access procedure for the UE. .

以下針對具體的UE以及eNB之構成及動作予以說明。 The configuration and operation of a specific UE and eNB will be described below.

DL訊號接收部101接收來自MeNB以及SeNB之下行訊號。關於SeNB用安全金鑰之設定,DL訊號接收部101由MeNB接收用以設定SeNB用安全金鑰之參數。該參數,在追加SeNB之細胞時、在已設定之SeNB追加新承載時、或者是在MeNB通訊中之承載卸載(off-load)至SeNB時,亦可包含在由MeNB所發送之RRC連線組態重置。又,DL訊號接收部101接收用以測定相對於基地台之訊號品質之訊號。進而,DL訊號接收部101從SeNB接收關於隨機存取程序之訊息。 The DL signal receiving unit 101 receives the downlink signals from the MeNB and the SeNB. Regarding the setting of the security key for the SeNB, the DL signal receiving unit 101 receives the parameter for setting the security key for the SeNB by the MeNB. This parameter may also be included in the RRC connection sent by the MeNB when the cell of the SeNB is added, when a new bearer is added to the set SeNB, or when the bearer is offloaded to the SeNB in the MeNB communication. Configuration reset. Further, the DL signal receiving unit 101 receives a signal for measuring the signal quality with respect to the base station. Further, the DL signal receiving unit 101 receives a message about the random access procedure from the SeNB.

UL訊號發送部103發送朝向MeNB及SeNB之上行訊號。關於SeNB用安全金鑰之設定,UL訊號發送部103是將朝RRC連線組態重置之回應即RRC連線組態重置完成發送至MeNB。又,UL訊號發送部103是將訊號品質之測定結果發送至MeNB。進而,UL訊號發送部103將關於隨機存取順序之訊息發送至SeNB。 The UL signal transmitting unit 103 transmits an uplink signal to the MeNB and the SeNB. Regarding the setting of the SeNB security key, the UL signal transmitting unit 103 transmits the response to the RRC connection configuration reset, that is, the RRC connection configuration reset completion to the MeNB. Further, the UL signal transmitting unit 103 transmits the measurement result of the signal quality to the MeNB. Further, the UL signal transmitting unit 103 transmits a message regarding the random access sequence to the SeNB.

訊號測定部105根據在DL訊號接收部101所接收之預定訊號,測定相對於eNB之接收品質。所測定之接收品質使用在用以選擇行動台要連接之eNB。 The signal measuring unit 105 measures the reception quality with respect to the eNB based on the predetermined signal received by the DL signal receiving unit 101. The measured reception quality is used to select the eNB to which the mobile station is to be connected.

安全金鑰設定部107使用在DL訊號接收部101所 接收之SeNB用安全金鑰之參數,設定SeNB用安全金鑰。 The security key setting unit 107 is used by the DL signal receiving unit 101. The received SeNB sets the security key for the SeNB using the parameters of the security key.

安全金鑰設定完成通知部109將在安全金鑰設定部107中安全金鑰之設定已完成之事通知SeNB。安全金鑰設定完成通知部109亦可藉隨機存取程序,將安全金鑰之設定之完成通知SeNB。或者是,不採用藉安全金鑰設定完成通知部109所進行之明示性的完成之通知,而是將既有的訊息當做為安全金鑰之設定之完成來處理亦可。 The security key setting completion notification unit 109 notifies the SeNB of the completion of the setting of the security key in the security key setting unit 107. The secure key setting completion notification unit 109 may also notify the SeNB of the completion of the setting of the security key by the random access procedure. Alternatively, the notification of the completion of the expressive completion by the notification unit 109 by the security key setting completion is not used, and the existing message may be treated as the completion of the setting of the security key.

UL資料緩衝部111,隨著SeNB用安全金鑰之設定,到開始使用有所設定之SeNB用安全金鑰之上行鏈路資料之發送之前,儲存上行鏈路資料。 The UL data buffer unit 111 stores the uplink data until the transmission of the uplink data of the set SeNB security key is started, with the setting of the security key by the SeNB.

發送/接收開始判斷部113判斷使用有所設定之SeNB用安全金鑰之上行鏈路資料之發送及下行鏈路資料之接送之開始。在於安全金鑰設定完成通知部109中使用隨機存取程序時,發送/接收開始判斷部113,在完成隨機存取程序時,使用所設定之SeNB用安全金鑰,開始上行鏈路資料之發送及下行鏈路資料之接收。在不使用藉安全金鑰設定完成通知部109所進行之明示性的完成之通知時,發送/接收開始判斷部113,在SeNB用安全金鑰之設定已完成時,使用所設定之SeNB用安全金鑰,開始上行鏈路資料之發送及下行鏈路資料之接收。 The transmission/reception start determining unit 113 determines the transmission of the uplink data using the set SeNB security key and the start of the transfer of the downlink data. When the random access procedure is used in the security key setting completion notification unit 109, the transmission/reception start determining unit 113 starts the transmission of the uplink data using the set SeNB security key when the random access procedure is completed. And reception of downlink data. When the notification of the completion of the explicit completion by the security key setting completion notification unit 109 is not used, the transmission/reception start determination unit 113 uses the set SeNB security when the SeNB security key setting is completed. The key starts the transmission of uplink data and the reception of downlink data.

在每SCG產生SeNB用安全金鑰時,對所設定之SeNB追加新的承載,亦使用相同SeNB用安全金鑰。同樣,在每SCG產生SeNB用安全金鑰時,對所設定之SeNB將於MeNB通訊中之承載卸載,亦使用相同SeNB用安全金鑰。 像這樣的時候,是不需要SeNB用安全金鑰之設定,但發送/接收開始判斷部113,如上述,有關於追加或者是已卸載之承載,判斷上行鏈路資料之發送及下行鏈路資料之接收之開始。即,發送/接收開始判斷部113,在隨機存取程序完成時,關於所追加或者是所卸載之承載,開始上行鏈路資料之發送及下行鏈路資料之接收。在未使用隨機存取程序時,發送/接收開始判斷部113,在承載之設定已完成時,關於所追加或者是所卸載之承載,開始上行鏈路資料之發送及下行鏈路資料之接收。 When a security key for the SeNB is generated for each SCG, a new bearer is added to the set SeNB, and the same SeNB security key is used. Similarly, when the SeNB security key is generated per SCG, the set SeNB will be offloaded in the MeNB communication, and the same SeNB security key is also used. In this case, the setting of the security key is not required for the SeNB, but the transmission/reception start determining unit 113 determines the transmission of the uplink data and the downlink data as described above with respect to the added or unloaded bearer. The beginning of the reception. In other words, the transmission/reception start determining unit 113 starts transmission of uplink data and reception of downlink data with respect to the added or unloaded bearer when the random access procedure is completed. When the random access procedure is not used, the transmission/reception start determining unit 113 starts the transmission of the uplink data and the reception of the downlink data with respect to the added or unloaded bearer when the setting of the bearer is completed.

<基地台之構成> <Composition of base station>

圖6顯示著本發明實施例之基地台之構成圖。圖6是顯示著相當於SeNB之基地台20,基地台20包含有:UL訊號接收部201、DL訊號發送部203、細胞追加變更部205、安全金鑰設定部207、DL資料緩衝部209、發送/接收開始判斷部211、及基地台間介面部213。 Fig. 6 is a view showing the configuration of a base station according to an embodiment of the present invention. 6 is a base station 20 corresponding to the SeNB.

The transmission/reception start determination unit 211 and the base station inter-layer surface 213.

UL訊號接收部201接收來自UE之訊號。SeNB不能收發RRC訊息,因此UL訊號接收部201只要是從UE接收資料訊號。關於SeNB用安全金鑰之設定,UL訊號接收部201從UE接收有關於隨機存取程序之訊息。 The UL signal receiving unit 201 receives the signal from the UE. The SeNB cannot receive and receive the RRC message, and therefore the UL signal receiving unit 201 only needs to receive the data signal from the UE. Regarding the setting of the security key for the SeNB, the UL signal receiving unit 201 receives a message regarding the random access procedure from the UE.

DL訊號發送部203對UE發送訊號。SeNB不能收發RRC訊息,因此DL訊號發送部203主要將資料訊號發送至UE。有關於SeNB用安全金鑰之設定,DL信号發送部203將有關於隨機存取程序之訊息發送至UE。 The DL signal transmitting unit 203 transmits a signal to the UE. The SeNB cannot send and receive RRC messages, and therefore the DL signal transmitting unit 203 mainly transmits the data signal to the UE. Regarding the setting of the security key for the SeNB, the DL signal transmitting unit 203 transmits a message regarding the random access procedure to the UE.

細胞追加變更部205藉來自MeNB之指示,進行 SeNB之細胞之追加或者是變更。在SeNB之細胞初次要追加時,細胞追加變更部205根據來自MeNB之指示(SCG addition indication:SCG附加指示),追加SeNB之細胞。此外,SCG附加指示包括於MeNB所產生之SeNB用安全金鑰之資訊。在於所設定之SeNB新追加承載時,或者是在所設定之SeNB將MeNB通訊中之承載卸載時,細胞追加變更部205根據來自MeNB之指示(SCG modification indication:SCG修改指示),在SeNB設定承載。此外,在SCG修改指示亦包括於MeNB所產生之SeNB用安全金鑰之資訊。此外,亦可無須每承載產生SeNB用安全金鑰,亦可每SCG產生。 The cell addition changing unit 205 performs an instruction from the MeNB. Addition or change of cells of SeNB. When the cells of the SeNB are to be added for the first time, the cell addition changing unit 205 adds the cells of the SeNB based on the instruction from the MeNB (SCG addition indication). In addition, the SCG additional indication includes information about the SeNB security key generated by the MeNB. When the set SeNB newly adds a bearer, or when the set SeNB unloads the bearer in the MeNB communication, the cell addition changing unit 205 sets the bearer in the SeNB according to an instruction from the MeNB (SCG modification indication). . In addition, the SCG modification indication also includes information about the SeNB security key generated by the MeNB. In addition, the SeNB security key may not be generated for each bearer, and may also be generated per SCG.

安全金鑰設定部207利用在於來自於細胞追加變更部205所接收之MeNB之指示(SCG addition/modification indication:SCG附加/修改指示)所含之安全金鑰之資訊,設定SeNB用安全金鑰。 The security key setting unit 207 sets the security key for the SeNB by using the information of the security key included in the instruction (SCG addition/modification indication) of the MeNB received by the cell addition changing unit 205.

DL資料緩衝部209隨著SeNB用安全金鑰之設定,迄至使用有所設定之SeNB用安全金鑰之下行鏈路資料之發送之開始之前,儲存下行鏈路資料。 The DL data buffer unit 209 stores the downlink data until the start of the transmission of the downlink data of the SeNB security key using the setting of the security key by the SeNB.

發送/接收開始判斷部211判斷使用有所設定之SeNB用安全金鑰之下行鏈路資料之發送及上行鏈路資料之接收之開始。發送/接收開始判斷部211,在設定SeNB用安全金鑰後完成隨機存取程序時,使用所設定之SeNB用安全金鑰,開始下行鏈路資料之發送及上行鏈路資料之接收。在安全金鑰之設定已完成而不能使用隨機存取程序,發送/接收開始判斷部211在建立了與核心網路之通道時,更具體 來說,由MeNB接收到相對於含有用以設定SeNB用安全金鑰之參數之SCG之設定請求(SCG附加/修改請求)之回應(SCG附加/修改回應)時,使用所設定之SeNB用安全金鑰,開始下行鏈路資料之發送,在SeNB用安全金鑰之設定已完成時,使用所設定之SeNB用安全金鑰,開始上行鏈路資料之接收。 The transmission/reception start determining unit 211 determines the start of transmission of the downlink data and the reception of the uplink data using the set SeNB security key. The transmission/reception start determining unit 211 starts the transmission of the downlink data and the reception of the uplink data using the set SeNB security key when the SeNB security key is set and the random access procedure is completed. When the setting of the security key is completed and the random access program cannot be used, the transmission/reception start judging section 211 is more specific when the channel with the core network is established. In the case where the MeNB receives a response (SCG attach/modify response) with respect to the SCG setting request (SCG attach/modify request) including the parameter for setting the SeNB security key, the set SeNB security is used. The key starts the transmission of the downlink data. When the setting of the security key is completed by the SeNB, the received SeNB security key is used to start the reception of the uplink data.

基地台間介面部213為用以與MeNB通訊之介面。關於SeNB用安全金鑰之設定,基地台間介面部213在初次追加SeNB之細胞時、在所設定之SeNB新追加承載時、或者是在所設定之SeNB將於MeNB通訊中之承載卸載時,從MeNB接收含有SeNB用安全金鑰之資訊之SCG附加/修改指示。又,基地台間介面部213因應SCG附加/修改指示將通知UE之含有安全金鑰參數之SCG附加/修改請求發送至MeNB。進而,基地台間介面部213從MeNB接收相對於SCG附加/修改請求之回應即SCG addition/modification response(SCG附加/修改回應)。 The base station interface 213 is an interface for communicating with the MeNB. Regarding the setting of the security key for the SeNB, when the base station inter-facing device 213 first adds the cell of the SeNB, when the set SeNB newly adds the bearer, or when the set SeNB is to be unloaded in the MeNB communication, The SCG attach/modify indication containing the information of the SeNB security key is received from the MeNB. In addition, the base station interface 213 will notify the UE of the security key in response to the SCG attach/modify instruction. The SCG attach/modify request for the parameter is sent to the MeNB. Further, the base station inter-layer face 213 receives a SCG addition/modification response (SCG addition/modification response) in response to the SCG attach/modify request from the MeNB.

當每SCG產生SeNB用安全金鑰時,就算在所設定之SeNB追加新的承載,亦使用相同的SeNB用安全金鑰。同樣,當每SCG產生SeNB用安全金鑰時,就算在所設定之SeNB將於MeNB通訊中之承載卸載,亦使用相同的SeNB用安全金鑰。在如此時候,雖不須要SeNB用安全金鑰之設定,但發送/接收開始判斷部211如上述,關於所追加或者是所卸載之承載,判斷下行鏈路資料之發送及上行鏈路資料之接收之開始。即,發送/接收開始判斷部211在完成隨機存 取程序時,關於所追加或者是所卸載之承載,開始下行鏈路資料之發送及上行鏈路資料之接收。未能使用隨機存取程序時,發送/接收開始判斷部211在建立了與核心網路之通道時,更具體來說,在從MeNB接收SCG附加/修改回應時,關於所追加或者是所卸載之承載,開始下行鏈路資料之發送,在發送了SCG附加/修改請求時,開始上行鏈路資料之接收。 When the SeNB security key is generated per SCG, the same SeNB security key is used even if a new bearer is added to the set SeNB. Similarly, when the SeNB security key is generated per SCG, the same SeNB security key is used even if the set SeNB will perform bearer offloading in the MeNB communication. In this case, although the setting of the security key is not required by the SeNB, the transmission/reception start determining unit 211 determines the transmission of the downlink data and the reception of the uplink data with respect to the added or unloaded bearer as described above. The beginning. That is, the transmission/reception start determination unit 211 completes the random storage. When the program is fetched, the transmission of the downlink data and the reception of the uplink data are started with respect to the added or unloaded bearer. When the random access procedure is not used, the transmission/reception start judging section 211 adds or is unloaded when the channel with the core network is established, more specifically, when the SCG attach/modify response is received from the MeNB. The bearer starts the transmission of the downlink data, and starts receiving the uplink data when the SCG attach/modify request is sent.

<在初次追加SeNB之細胞時合> <In the case of the first addition of SeNB cells>

在初次追加SeNB之細胞時,MeNB可將於MeNB通訊中之承載卸載至SeNB(轉換)。此時,使用藉UE所進行之隨機存取程序,作為UE及SeNB雙方開始上行鏈路資料及下行鏈路資料之收發之契機。 When the cells of the SeNB are added for the first time, the MeNB may offload the bearer in the MeNB communication to the SeNB (conversion). In this case, the random access procedure performed by the UE is used as an opportunity for both the UE and the SeNB to start transmitting and receiving uplink data and downlink data.

在圖7顯示本發明實施例之安全金鑰設定程序及收發開始判斷程序。 Fig. 7 shows a security key setting program and a transmission/reception start judging program in the embodiment of the present invention.

UE定期地將訊號品質之測定結果(Meas Report)向MeNB報告(S111)。MeNB在根據測定結果而判斷了須追加SeNB之細胞時,產生SeNB用安全金鑰SKeNB(S113)。此外,SeNB用安全金鑰可在每承載產生,亦可在每SCG產生。接著,為指示SeNB之細胞的追加,MeNB將SCG附加/修改指示追加至SeNB(S115)。在該SCG附加/修改指示含有欲卸載之承載資訊(例如QoS(Quality of Service:服務品質))、每SCC所產生之安全金鑰SKeNB、用以界定安全金鑰SKeNB之SCC。SeNB對SCG附加/修改指示,設定SeNB用安全金鑰,並將SCG附加/修改請求發送至MeNB(S117)。在SCG附加/ 修改請求,除了可卸載之承載之資訊,還含有SCC、DRB ID(Data Radio Bearer ID:資料無線承載ID)或者是SCG ID,作為向UE通知之安全金鑰之參數。在每承載產生SeNB用安全金鑰時,在SCG附加/修改請求含有DRB ID,在每SCG產生SeNB用安全金鑰時,在SCG附加/修改請求含有SCG ID。進而,在SCG附加/修改請求含有用以設定SCG之無線參數(例如EARFCN(E-UTRA Absolute Radio Frequency Channel Number:絕對無線電頻率頻道編號)、PCI(Physical Cell Identity:實體細胞識別碼)等)。SeNB在SeNB用安全金鑰之設定已完成後發送SCG附加/修改請求之時點上,能使用SeNB用安全金鑰(S119)。 The UE periodically reports the measurement result (Meas Report) of the signal quality to the MeNB (S111). When the MeNB determines that the cell of the SeNB has to be added based on the measurement result, the SeNB generates the SeNB secure key SK eNB (S113). In addition, the SeNB can be generated on each bearer with a security key, or every SCG. Next, in order to add the cells indicating the SeNB, the MeNB adds an SCG addition/modification instruction to the SeNB (S115). The SCG attach/modify indication includes bearer information (such as QoS (Quality of Service)) to be offloaded, a security key SK eNB generated per SCC, and an SCC used to define the secure key SK eNB . The SeNB attaches/modifies the SCG indication, sets the SeNB security key, and transmits the SCG attach/modify request to the MeNB (S117). The SCG attach/modify request includes, in addition to the information of the bearer that can be offloaded, an SCC, a DRB ID (Data Radio Bearer ID) or an SCG ID as a parameter of the security key notified to the UE. When the SeNB security key is generated for each bearer, the SCG attach/modify request contains the DRB ID, and when the SeNB security key is generated per SCG, the SCG attach/modify request contains the SCG ID. Further, the SCG addition/modification request includes a radio parameter for setting the SCG (for example, an EARFCN (E-UTRA Absolute Radio Frequency Channel Number), a PCI (Physical Cell Identity), or the like). The SeNB can use the SeNB security key when the SeNB transmits the SCG attach/modify request after the security key setting has been completed (S119).

MeNB,藉RRC連線組態重置,而將SCG附加/修改請求所含之安全金鑰之參數發送至UE(S121)。即,在RRC連線組態重置,除了卸載對象之承載之資訊,含有SCC、DRB ID或者是SCG ID,作為向UE通知之安全金鑰之參數。進而,在RRC連線組態重置含有用以設定SCG之無線參數(例如EARFCN、PCI等)。 The MeNB transmits the parameters of the security key included in the SCG attach/modify request to the UE by the RRC connection configuration reset (S121). That is, in the RRC connection configuration reset, in addition to the information of the bearer of the offload object, the SCC, the DRB ID or the SCG ID is included as a parameter of the security key notified to the UE. Further, the RRC connection configuration reset includes wireless parameters (eg, EARFCN, PCI, etc.) for setting the SCG.

UE,使用SCC設定SeNB用安全金鑰SKeNB,為了報告RRC連線組態重置之設定已完成之事,就將RRC連線組態重置完成發送至MeNB(S123)。UE,當完成SeNB用安全金鑰之設定,在發送了RRC連線組態重置之時點,就能使用SeNB用安全金鑰(S125)。 The UE sets the SeNB security key SK eNB using the SCC, and transmits the RRC connection configuration reset completion to the MeNB (S123) in order to report that the setting of the RRC connection configuration reset has been completed. The UE, when the setting of the SeNB security key is completed, can use the SeNB security key when the RRC connection configuration reset is transmitted (S125).

接著,MeNB將SCG附加/修改回應作為相對於SCG附加/修改請求之回應,發送至SeNB(S127)。然後,在 MeNB與MME/S-GW之間進行將承載卸載之通道轉換程序(Path Switching Procedure)(S129)。 Next, the MeNB transmits the SCG attach/modify response as a response to the SCG attach/modify request to the SeNB (S127). Then, at The Path Switching Procedure for offloading the bearer is performed between the MeNB and the MME/S-GW (S129).

UE,為將安全金鑰之設定之完成通知SeNB,實施隨機存取程序(S131)。在於UE與SeNB之間隨機存取程序已完成時,UE使用SeNB用安全金鑰,開始上行鏈路資料之發送及下行鏈路資料之接收(S133)。同樣,在於UE與SeNB之間隨機存取程序已完成時,SeNB亦使用SeNB用安全金鑰,開始下行鏈路資料之發送及上行鏈路資料之接收(S135)。 The UE notifies the SeNB of the completion of the setting of the security key, and implements a random access procedure (S131). When the random access procedure between the UE and the SeNB is completed, the UE starts the transmission of the uplink data and the reception of the downlink data using the security key by the SeNB (S133). Similarly, when the random access procedure between the UE and the SeNB is completed, the SeNB also uses the SeNB to start transmission of downlink data and reception of uplink data using the security key (S135).

<在所設定之SeNB追加新的承載時> <When a new bearer is added to the set SeNB>

在已作為SCG而設定之SeNB追加新的承載時,把UE開始上行鏈路資料及下行鏈路資料之收發的契機當作為藉UE所進行之安全金鑰設定之完成。又,把SeNB開始下行鏈路資料之發送之契機當作為SeNB與核心網路間之通道的建立,且把SeNB開始上行鏈路資料之接收的契機當作為藉SeNB所進行之安全金鑰設定之完成。 When a new bearer is added to the SeNB that has been set as the SCG, the UE initiates the transmission and reception of the uplink data and the downlink data as the completion of the security key setting by the UE. Moreover, the opportunity for the SeNB to start the transmission of the downlink data is used as the establishment of the channel between the SeNB and the core network, and the opportunity for the SeNB to start receiving the uplink data is used as the security key set by the SeNB. carry out.

圖8是顯示本發明實施例之安全金鑰設定程序及收發開始判斷程序。 Fig. 8 is a view showing a security key setting program and a transmission/reception start judging program in the embodiment of the present invention.

在已作為SCG而設定SeNB追加新的承載時,從MME/S-GW而對MeNB發送要求承載追加之新的E-RAB建立請求(New E-RAB establishment request)(S210)。此外,UE定期地向MeNB報告訊號品質的測定結果(Meas Report:測定報告)(S211)。 When the SeNB is added as the SCG to add a new bearer, the MME/S-GW transmits a new E-RAB establishment request (New E-RAB establishment request) to the MeNB requesting the bearer (S210). Further, the UE periodically reports the measurement result of the signal quality (Meas Report) to the MeNB (S211).

MeNB,在接收到新的E-RAB建立請求時,產生SeNB用安全金鑰SKeNB(S213)。然後,為指示新承載的追加, MeNB將SCG附加/修改指示發送至SeNB(S215)。該SCG附加/修改指示含有欲追加之承載資訊(例如QoS)、在每SCC所產生之安全金鑰SKeNB、用以界定安全金鑰SKeNB之SCC。SeNB對SCG附加/修改指示設定SeNB用安全金鑰,並將SCG附加/修改請求發送至MeNB(S217)。在SCG附加/修改請求,除了可追加之承載之資訊外,在每承載產生SeNB用安全金鑰時,還包括SCC、DRB ID。進而,在SCG附加/修改請求含有隧道ID(GTP(GPRS Tunneling Protocol:隧道協定)ID)。SeNB在完成SeNB用安全金鑰之設定,發送了SCG附加/修改請求之時點上,就能使用SeNB用安全金鑰(S219)。在該時點,SeNB開始使用有SeNB用安全金鑰之上行鏈路資料之接收(S220)。 The MeNB, upon receiving a new E-RAB setup request, generates a SeNB secure key SK eNB (S213). Then, to indicate the addition of the new bearer, the MeNB transmits an SCG attach/modify indication to the SeNB (S215). The SCG attach/modify indication contains bearer information (eg, QoS) to be appended, a security key SK eNB generated at each SCC, and an SCC used to define the secure key SK eNB . The SeNB sets the SeNB security key for the SCG attach/modify indication, and transmits the SCG attach/modify request to the MeNB (S217). In the SCG attach/modify request, in addition to the information of the bearer that can be added, when the SeNB security key is generated for each bearer, the SCC and the DRB ID are also included. Further, the SCG attach/modify request includes a tunnel ID (GTP (GPRS Tunneling Protocol) ID). When the SeNB completes the setting of the SeNB security key and transmits the SCG addition/modification request, the SeNB can use the SeNB security key (S219). At this point in time, the SeNB starts receiving the uplink data using the SeNB security key (S220).

MeNB,藉RRC連線組態重置,而將SCG附加/修改請求所含之安全金鑰之參數發送至UE(S221)。即,在RRC連線組態重置,除了追加對象之承載之資訊,在SeNB用安全金鑰於每承載產生時,還含有SCC、DRB ID。 The MeNB transmits the parameters of the security key included in the SCG attach/modify request to the UE by the RRC connection configuration reset (S221). That is, in the RRC connection configuration reset, in addition to the information of the bearer of the additional object, the SeNB also includes the SCC and the DRB ID when the SeNB generates the security key for each bearer.

UE,使用SCC,設定SeNB用安全金鑰SKeNB,並為了報告RRC連線組態重置之設定已完成之事,將RRC連線組態重置完成發送至MeNB(S223)。UE,在完成了SeNB用安全金鑰之設定且發送了RRC連線組態重置之時點上,能使用SeNB用安全金鑰(S225)。在該時點上,UE開始使用有SeNB用安全金鑰之上行鏈路資料之發送及下行鏈路資料之接收(S226)。 The UE, using the SCC, sets the SeNB security key SK eNB , and transmits the RRC connection configuration reset completion to the MeNB in order to report that the setting of the RRC connection configuration reset has been completed (S223). The UE can use the SeNB security key when the SeNB security key setting is completed and the RRC connection configuration reset is transmitted (S225). At this point in time, the UE starts to use the transmission of the uplink data with the SeNB security key and the reception of the downlink data (S226).

接著,MeNB,將含有SeNB之IP位址及隧道ID (GTP Tunnel ID)之ERAB建立回應(establishment response),作為相對於新的E-RAB(地面無線接取網路無線)建立請求之回應,發送至MME/S-GW(S224),且將SCG附加/修改回應,作為相對於SCG附加/修改請求之回應,發送至SeNB(S227)。SeNB,在接收有SCG附加/修改回應之時點上,判斷為已建立了與核心網路之通道,開始下行鏈路資料之發送(S235)。 Next, the MeNB will contain the IP address of the SeNB and the tunnel ID. The ERAB establishment response of the (GTP Tunnel ID) is sent to the MME/S-GW (S224) in response to the new E-RAB (Ground Wireless Access Network Radio) setup request, and the SCG is The attach/modify response is sent to the SeNB as a response to the SCG attach/modify request (S227). The SeNB, upon receiving the SCG attach/modify response, determines that the channel with the core network has been established, and starts transmitting the downlink data (S235).

又,就算在於已經作為SCG設定之SeNB追加新的承載時,亦可使用藉UE所使用之隨機存取程序,作為開始UE及SeNB雙方開始上行鏈路資料及下行鏈路資料之收發之契機。此時,在UE設定安全金鑰後變成可使用之後(S223),UE實施隨機存取程序。在於UE與SeNB之間隨機存取程序已完成時,UE使用SeNB用安全金鑰,開始上行鏈路資料之發送及下行鏈路資料之接收。同樣,在於UE與SeNB之間已完成隨機存取手順已完成時,SeNB亦使用SeNB用安全金鑰,開始下行鏈路資料之發送及上行鏈路資料之接收。 Further, even if a new bearer has been added as the SeNB set by the SCG, a random access procedure used by the UE can be used as a trigger for starting transmission and reception of uplink data and downlink data by both the UE and the SeNB. At this time, after the UE sets the security key and becomes available (S223), the UE performs a random access procedure. When the random access procedure between the UE and the SeNB is completed, the UE uses the SeNB to start the transmission of the uplink data and the reception of the downlink data by using the security key. Similarly, when the random access handover has been completed between the UE and the SeNB, the SeNB also uses the SeNB to start the transmission of the downlink data and the reception of the uplink data by using the security key.

如上述,在SeNB用安全金鑰於每SCG產生時,在追加SeNB之細胞時使用所設定之SeNB用安全金鑰,因此隨著新的承載的追加,SeNB用安全金鑰亦可不用設定。因此,圖8之S213不予以實施,不收發SeNB用安全金鑰之資訊,但其他程序亦可同樣實施。 As described above, when the SeNB generates the security key for each SCG, the set SeNB security key is used when the SeNB cell is added. Therefore, the SeNB may not use the security key as the new bearer is added. Therefore, S213 of FIG. 8 is not implemented, and the information of the SeNB security key is not transmitted and received, but other programs can be implemented in the same manner.

具體來說,MeNB在接收有新的E-RAB建立請求時,為指示新承載的追加,便將SCG附加/修改指示發送至 SeNB(S215)。該SCG附加/修改指示含有欲追加之承載資訊(例如QoS)。SeNB對於SCG附加/修改指示,而將SCG附加/修改請求發送至MeNB(S217)。在SCG附加/修改請求含有可追加之承載之資訊。進而,在SCG附加/修改請求含有隧道ID(GTP ID)。SeNB便能在發送了SCG附加/修改請求之時點上,關於新追加之承載,使用SeNB用安全金鑰(S219)。在該時點上,SeNB開始使用有SeNB用安全金鑰之上行鏈路資料之接收(S220)。 Specifically, when receiving the new E-RAB establishment request, the MeNB sends an SCG attach/modify indication to the indication of the addition of the new bearer. SeNB (S215). The SCG attach/modify indication contains bearer information (eg, QoS) to be appended. The SeNB attaches/modifies the indication to the SCG, and transmits an SCG attach/modify request to the MeNB (S217). The SCG attach/modify request contains information of the bearer that can be appended. Further, the SCG attach/modify request contains a tunnel ID (GTP ID). The SeNB can use the SeNB security key for the newly added bearer when the SCG attach/modify request is transmitted (S219). At this point in time, the SeNB starts receiving the uplink data with the SeNB security key (S220).

MeNB藉RRC連線組態重置,而將追加對象之承載之資訊發送至UE(S221)。 The MeNB resets the RRC connection configuration, and transmits the information of the bearer of the additional object to the UE (S221).

UE,為了報告RRC連線組態重置之設定已完成之事,將RRC連線組態重置完成發送至MeNB(S223)。UE便能在發送了RRC連線組態重置之時點上,關於新追加之承載,使用SeNB用安全金鑰(S225)。在該時點上,UE先關於新追加之承載,使用SeNB用安全金鑰,開始上行鏈路資料之發送及下行鏈路資料之接收(S226)。 The UE, in order to report that the setting of the RRC connection configuration reset has been completed, transmits the RRC connection configuration reset completion to the MeNB (S223). The UE can use the SeNB security key (S225) with respect to the newly added bearer at the time when the RRC connection configuration reset is transmitted. At this point in time, the UE first starts transmission of uplink data and reception of downlink data using the security key using the SeNB for the newly added bearer (S226).

接著,MeNB將含有SeNB之IP位址及隧道ID(GTP Tunnel ID)之ERAB建立回應,作為相對於新的E-RAB建立請求之回應,而發送至MME/S-GW(S224),並將SCG附加/修改請求,作為相對於SCG附加/修改請求之回應,而發送至SeNB(S227)。SeNB在接收了SCG附加/修改回應之時點上,判斷已建立了與核心網路間之通道,開始下行鏈路資料之發送(S235)。 Next, the MeNB establishes an ERAB setup response containing the IP address of the SeNB and the tunnel ID (GTP Tunnel ID) as a response to the new E-RAB setup request, and sends it to the MME/S-GW (S224), and The SCG attach/modify request is sent to the SeNB as a response to the SCG attach/modify request (S227). When receiving the SCG attach/modify response, the SeNB judges that the channel with the core network has been established, and starts transmitting the downlink data (S235).

此時,亦可使用藉UE所進行之隨機存取程序。 在於UE與SeNB之間完成了隨機存取手順時,UE使用SeNB用安全金鑰,開始上行鏈路資料之發送及下行鏈路資料之接收。同樣,在於UE與SeNB之間完成了隨機存取程序時,SeNB亦使用SeNB用安全金鑰,開始下行鏈路資料之發送及上行鏈路資料之接收。 At this time, a random access procedure by the UE may also be used. When the random access procedure is completed between the UE and the SeNB, the UE starts the transmission of the uplink data and the reception of the downlink data by using the SeNB using the security key. Similarly, when the random access procedure is completed between the UE and the SeNB, the SeNB also uses the SeNB to start the transmission of the downlink data and the reception of the uplink data using the security key.

<在所設定之SeNB將於MeNB通訊中之承載卸載時> <When the set SeNB will be offloaded in the MeNB communication>

在已作為SCG設定之SeNB將於MeNB通訊中之承載卸載時,將UE開始上行鏈路資料及下行鏈路資料之收發之契機,當作為藉UE所進行之安全金鑰之設定的完成。又,將SeNB開始下行鏈路資料之發送之契機,當作為SeNB與核心網路間之通道之建立,且將SeNB開始上行鏈路資料之接收之契機,當作為藉SeNB所進行之安全金鑰之設定的完成。 When the SeNB set as the SCG is to be offloaded in the MeNB communication, the UE starts the transmission and reception of the uplink data and the downlink data, and the completion of the setting of the security key by the UE. In addition, when the SeNB starts the transmission of the downlink data, it is used as a channel between the SeNB and the core network, and the SeNB starts the reception of the uplink data, and acts as a security key for the SeNB. The setting is completed.

圖9是顯示本發明實施例之安全金鑰設定程序及送接收開始判斷程序。 Fig. 9 is a view showing a security key setting program and a transmission/reception start judging program in the embodiment of the present invention.

在已作為SCG設定之SeNB將於MeNB通訊中之承載卸載時,MeNB產生SeNB用安全金鑰SKeNB(S313)。另,UE已定期地將訊號品質之測定結果(Meas Report)向MeNB報告(S311)。接著,為了指示承載之卸載,MeNB將SCG附加/修改指示發送至SeNB(S315)。該SCG附加/修改指示含有欲卸載之承載資訊(例如QoS)、於每SCC所產生之安全金鑰SKeNB、及用以界定安全金鑰SKeNB之SCC。SeNB對於SCG附加/修改指示設定SeNB用安全金鑰,並將SCG附加/修改請求發送至MeNB(S317)。在SCG附加/修改請求,除了可卸 載之承載之資訊,SeNB用安全金鑰於每承載產生時,還含有SCC、DRB ID。SeNB在完成了SeNB用安全金鑰之設定,發送了SCG附加/修改請求之時點上,便能使用SeNB用安全金鑰(S319)。在該時點上,SeNB開始使用有SeNB用安全金鑰之上行鏈路資料之接收(S320)。 When the SeNB that has been set as the SCG is to be offloaded in the MeNB communication, the MeNB generates the SeNB security key SK eNB (S313). In addition, the UE has periodically reported the measurement result (Meas Report) of the signal quality to the MeNB (S311). Next, in order to indicate offloading of the bearer, the MeNB transmits an SCG attach/modify indication to the SeNB (S315). The SCG attach/modify indication contains bearer information (eg, QoS) to be offloaded, a security key SK eNB generated at each SCC, and an SCC used to define the secure key SK eNB . The SeNB sets the SeNB security key for the SCG attach/modify indication, and transmits the SCG attach/modify request to the MeNB (S317). In the SCG attach/modify request, in addition to the information of the bearer that can be offloaded, the SeNB also includes the SCC and the DRB ID when the bearer is generated by the security key. When the SeNB completes the setting of the SeNB security key and transmits the SCG addition/modification request, the SeNB can use the SeNB security key (S319). At this point in time, the SeNB starts receiving the uplink data with the SeNB security key (S320).

MeNB藉RRC連線組態重置,而將SCG附加/修改請求所含之安全金鑰之參數發送至UE(S321)。即,在RRC連線組態重置,除了卸載對象之承載之資訊,在SeNB用安全金鑰於每承載產生時,還含有SCC、DRB ID。 The MeNB resets the RRC connection configuration, and transmits the parameters of the security key included in the SCG attach/modify request to the UE (S321). That is, in the RRC connection configuration reset, in addition to the information of the bearer of the offload object, the SeNB also includes the SCC and the DRB ID when the SeNB generates the security key for each bearer.

UE使用SCC,設定SeNB用安全金鑰SKeNB,並為了報告RRC連線組態重置之設定已完成之事,而將RRC連線組態重置完成發送至MeNB(S323)。UE在已完成SeNB用安全金鑰之設定且發送了RRC連線組態重置之時點上,便能使用SeNB用安全金鑰(S325)。在時點上,UE開始使用有SeNB用安全金鑰之上行鏈路資料之發送及下行鏈路資料之接收(S326)。 The UE uses the SCC, sets the SeNB security key SK eNB , and transmits the RRC connection configuration reset completion to the MeNB (S323) in order to report that the setting of the RRC connection configuration reset has been completed. The UE can use the SeNB security key (S325) when the SeNB security key setting has been completed and the RRC connection configuration reset is transmitted. At the time of the point, the UE starts to use the transmission of the uplink data with the SeNB security key and the reception of the downlink data (S326).

接著,MeNB將SCG附加/修改回應,作為相對於SCG附加/修改請求之回應,而發送至SeNB(S327)。然後,進行用以於MeNB與MME/S-GW之間將承載卸載之通道轉換程序(S329)。SeNB在已接收了SCG附加/修改回應之時點上,判斷已建立了與核心網路間之通道,開始下行鏈路資料之發送(S335)。 Next, the MeNB transmits the SCG attach/modify response as a response to the SCG attach/modify request to the SeNB (S327). Then, a channel conversion procedure for offloading the bearer between the MeNB and the MME/S-GW is performed (S329). When the SeNB has received the SCG attach/modify response, it determines that the channel with the core network has been established, and starts the transmission of the downlink data (S335).

又,就算在既已設定為SCG之SeNB卸載於MeNB通訊中之承載時,亦可使用UE之隨機存取程序,作為UE及 SeNB雙方開始上行鏈路資料及下行鏈路資料之收發之契機。此時,在UE設定安全金鑰後變成可使用之後(S323),UE實施隨機存取程序。在於UE與SeNB之間隨機存取程序已完成時,UE使用SeNB用安全金鑰,開始上行鏈路資料之發送及下行鏈路資料之接收。同樣,在於UE與SeNB之間隨機存取程序已完成時,SeNB亦使用SeNB用安全金鑰,開始下行鏈路資料之發送及上行鏈路資料之接收。 Moreover, even when the SeNB that has been set to the SCG is offloaded to the bearer in the MeNB communication, the UE random access procedure can also be used as the UE and Both SeNBs start the transmission and reception of uplink data and downlink data. At this time, after the UE sets the security key and becomes available (S323), the UE performs a random access procedure. When the random access procedure between the UE and the SeNB is completed, the UE uses the SeNB to start the transmission of the uplink data and the reception of the downlink data by using the security key. Similarly, when the random access procedure between the UE and the SeNB is completed, the SeNB also uses the SeNB to start the transmission of the downlink data and the reception of the uplink data using the security key.

如上述,在於每SCG產生SeNB用安全金鑰時,由於使用SeNB之細胞在追加時所設定之SeNB用安全金鑰,因此隨著新承載之追加,SeNB用安全金鑰亦可不用設定。因此,圖9之S313不予以實施,SeNB用安全金鑰之資訊不收送,但其他程序照樣實施。 As described above, when the SeNB security key is generated for each SCG, since the SeNB security key is used when the cell of the SeNB is added, the SeNB may not use the security key as the new bearer is added. Therefore, S313 of FIG. 9 is not implemented, and the SeNB does not receive the information of the security key, but other programs are still implemented.

具體來說,為指示承載之卸載,MeNB將SCG附加/修改指示發送至SeNB(S315)。該SCG附加/修改指示含有欲卸載之承載資訊(例如QoS)。SeNB相對於SCG附加/修改指示,而將SCG附加/修改請求發送至MeNB(S317)。SCG附加/修改請求含有可卸載之承載之資訊。SeNB在發送了SCG附加/修改請求之時點上,就能關於已卸載之承載,使用SeNB用安全金鑰(S319)。在該時點上,SeNB開始使用有SeNB用安全金鑰之上行鏈路資料之接收(S320)。 Specifically, to indicate offloading of the bearer, the MeNB transmits an SCG attach/modify indication to the SeNB (S315). The SCG attach/modify indication contains bearer information (eg, QoS) to be unloaded. The SeNB attaches/modifies the indication with respect to the SCG, and transmits an SCG attach/modify request to the MeNB (S317). The SCG attach/modify request contains information about the bearer that can be unloaded. When the SeNB transmits the SCG attach/modify request, the SeNB can use the SeNB security key for the offloaded bearer (S319). At this point in time, the SeNB starts receiving the uplink data with the SeNB security key (S320).

MeNB藉RRC連線組態重置,而將卸載對象之承載之資訊發送至UE(S321)。 The MeNB transmits the information of the bearer of the unloading object to the UE by the RRC connection configuration reset (S321).

UE,為了報告RRC連線組態重置之設定已完成之事,而將RRC連線組態重置完成發送至MeNB(S323)。UE 在發送了RRC連線組態重置之時點上,就能使用SeNB用安全金鑰(S325)。在該時點上,UE開始使用有SeNB用安全金鑰之上行鏈路資料之發送及下行鏈路資料之接收(S326)。 The UE, in order to report that the setting of the RRC connection configuration reset has been completed, transmits the RRC connection configuration reset completion to the MeNB (S323). UE When the RRC connection configuration reset is transmitted, the SeNB security key can be used (S325). At this point in time, the UE starts to use the transmission of the uplink data with the SeNB security key and the reception of the downlink data (S326).

接著,MeNB將SCG附加/修改回應作為相對於SCG附加/修改請求之回應,而發送至SeNB(S327)。然後,在MeNB與MME/S-GW之間進行用以將承載卸載之通道轉換程序(S329)。SeNB在接收有SCG附加/修改回應之時點上,判斷已經建立了與核心網路之通道(path),開始下行鏈路資料之發送(S335)。 Next, the MeNB transmits the SCG attach/modify response as a response to the SCG attach/modify request to the SeNB (S327). Then, a channel conversion procedure for offloading the bearer is performed between the MeNB and the MME/S-GW (S329). When receiving the SCG attach/modify response, the SeNB determines that a path with the core network has been established, and starts transmission of downlink data (S335).

此時,亦可使用藉UE所進行之隨機存取程序。在於UE與SeNB之間隨機存取程序已完成時,UE使用SeNB用安全金鑰,開始上行鏈路資料之發送及下行鏈路資料之接收。同樣,在於UE與SeNB之間隨機存取程序已完成時,SeNB亦使用SeNB用安全金鑰,開始下行鏈路資料之發送及上行鏈路資料之接收。 At this time, a random access procedure by the UE may also be used. When the random access procedure between the UE and the SeNB is completed, the UE uses the SeNB to start the transmission of the uplink data and the reception of the downlink data by using the security key. Similarly, when the random access procedure between the UE and the SeNB is completed, the SeNB also uses the SeNB to start the transmission of the downlink data and the reception of the uplink data using the security key.

<本發明實施例之效果> <Effects of Embodiments of the Invention>

依本發明之實施例,在雙重連線中,掌握安全金鑰設定之時序,藉此可適當地判斷發送/接收之開始。 According to the embodiment of the present invention, in the double connection, the timing of the security key setting is grasped, whereby the start of transmission/reception can be appropriately judged.

為此,藉著安全金鑰設定之時序差,可迴避所謂資料廢棄的狀況。 For this reason, the timing difference caused by the security key can be avoided.

在於已設定之SeNB追加新承載時或者是在已設定之SeNB於MeNB將通訊中的承載卸載時,為了判斷發送/接收之開始,亦可使用隨機存取程序,亦無須使用隨機存取程序。藉不使用隨機存取程序,可迴避在既已設定之其 他承載因隨機存取程序而瞬間打斷之狀況。 In the case where the set SeNB adds a new bearer or when the set SeNB is to unload the bearer in the MeNB, in order to judge the start of transmission/reception, a random access procedure may be used, and a random access procedure is not required. By not using a random access program, you can avoid having it set He carries the situation of being interrupted instantaneously due to random access procedures.
