- the method for ensuring the service continuity of the RN serving the UE in the embodiment of the present invention is: when receiving the offload message sent by the MME, the base station initiates the MME update of the RN or the UE, instead of the MME offloading.
- the method of the embodiment of the present invention includes:
- Step 101 The MME connected to the RN or the UE sends a message for offloading the RN or the UE to the base station serving the RN or the UE.
- the message that the RN or the UE is offloaded may be carried by the user equipment context release command message, or the MME or the UE is used to indicate the message bearer by the MME; further, the MME offloads the RN or the UE indication message to the MME to rebalance the offload RN or the UE indication message. .
- the reason for the release of the user equipment context release command message is as follows: Tracking area update caused by load balancing.
- Step 102 The base station serving the RN or the UE initiates an MME update of the RN or the UE. Specifically, the base station initiates a mobility management entity update of the RN or the UE in a manner of intra-cell S1 handover.
- the MME needs to perform re-balancing all offloading, and the MME selects the RN of the monthly service to perform the offloading. Accordingly, the UE that is served by the RN and connected to the MME is also uninstalled, and the RN is also uninstalled. The UEs that are not connected to the MME are not uninstalled.
- the MME may also select the serving UE to perform the offloading process, and the specific process is the same as the RN selecting the serving RN to perform the uninstall process.
- the process of ensuring service continuity of the RN service UE is as follows:
- Step 201 For the RN in the connected mode, the MME connected to it (the MME needs to be removed from the MME pool area) sends a user equipment context release command message to the corresponding DeNB (ie, the eNB serving the RN), and the release reason is load balancing. The resulting tracking area update. At this time, the MME continues to retain the context of the RN and the corresponding data.
- the MME connected to it the MME needs to be removed from the MME pool area
- the release reason is load balancing.
- the resulting tracking area update At this time, the MME continues to retain the context of the RN and the corresponding data.
- Step 202 After receiving the user equipment context release command message, the DeNB sends a handover request message to the MME connected to the RN, where the cause value is an intra-cell S1 handover, and the purpose is to initiate an MME update of the RN, and the target base station in the handover requirement message Still the DeNB.
- the cause value is an intra-cell S1 handover, and the purpose is to initiate an MME update of the RN, and the target base station in the handover requirement message Still the DeNB.
- Step 203 After receiving the handover request message of the S1 handover in the cell, the MME connected to the RN selects a new MME (referred to as a target MME in the present invention) as the source MME of the RN, and sends a forwarding relocation request.
- the message is sent to the target MME, and the message includes the context of the RN in the source MME (such as the RN security context, the RN network capability, the S-GW address of the RN, and the context of the data bearer).
- Step 204 After receiving the forwarding relocation request message, the target MME of the RN determines whether the serving gateway (S-GW) can still serve the RN. If yes, the target MME sends a handover request message to the DeNB; the handover request message includes the target MME. The control signaling identifier assigned to the RN.
- S-GW serving gateway
- Step 205 After receiving the handover request message, the DeNB determines that the handover is an intra-cell handover of the RN, and the DeNB updates the control signaling identifier allocated by the source MME of the RN to the control signaling identifier allocated by the target MME. Then, a handover request acknowledgement message is sent to the target MME of the RN.
- Step 206 After receiving the handover request acknowledgement message, the target MME of the RN sends a forward relocation response message to the source MME of the RN.
- Step 207 The source MME sends a handover command message to the DeNB, and the DeNB further forwards the handover command message to the RN.
- Step 208 After receiving the handover command message, the RN updates its own security context, and then sends a handover confirmation message to the DeNB.
- Step 209 After receiving the handover confirmation message, the DeNB sends a handover notification message to the target MME of the RN.
- Steps 210 to 211 the target MME of the RN sends a Forward Relocation Complete Notification message to the RN.
- the source MME; the source MME of the RN correspondingly forwards the relocation complete confirmation message to the target MME of the RN.
- Step 212 The target MME of the RN sends an S-GW that modifies the bearer request message to the RN, including the target MME address, the TEID, and the like.
- Step 213 The S-GW of the RN receives the modify bearer request message, performs corresponding modification of the bearer, and then sends a modify bearer response message to the target MME of the RN.
- Step 214 Since the S-GW of the RN is also located in the DeNB, after the S-GW of the RN sends the modify bearer response message to the target MME of the RN, the DeNB may send a user equipment context release complete message to the source MME of the RN, the source of the RN. After receiving the message, the MME releases the context information related to the RN, and the process of the RN being offloaded from the source MME and migrating to the target MME is completed.
- the process of this embodiment is basically the same as the process of FIG. 2, except that, as shown in FIG. 3, in step 301, the MME connected to the RN sends an MME offload RN indication message to the DeNB of the serving RN (better, The MME re-equalizes the RN indication message).
- the DeNB after receiving the MME re-balancing offload RN indication message, the DeNB sends a handover request message to the MME connected to the RN.
- the DeNB may send an MME offload RN acknowledgement message (preferably, the MME rebalances the offload RN acknowledgement message) to the source of the RN.
- the source MME of the MME releases the context information related to the RN.
- the cause value initiated by the DeNB is the MME update procedure of the RN in the intra-cell S1 handover.
- the source MME is only The RN is offloaded, and the UE is not offloaded. Therefore, after the RN switches from the source MME to the target MME, the RN can continue to provide services for these UEs, ensuring continuity of UE services.
- the embodiment of the present invention further proposes a process flow of uninstalling the UE when the MME is removed.
- the MME needs to perform partial offloading, and then the normal user equipment node, that is, the UE, is preferentially uninstalled; of course, the RN may also be selected for offloading.
- the process of ensuring service continuity of the RN serving UE includes:
- Step 401 For the UE in the connected mode, the MME connected to the MME (the MME needs to be removed from the MME pool area) sends a user equipment context release command message to the corresponding eNB (ie, the eNB serving the UE), and the release reason is load balancing. The resulting tracking area update. At this time, the MME continues to retain the context of the UE (here, the UE served by the source MME) and the corresponding data bearer information.
- Step 402 After receiving the user equipment context release command message, the eNB sends a handover request message to the MME connected to the UE, where the cause value is an intra-cell S1 handover, and the target base station in the handover requirement message is still the eNB.
- Step 403 After receiving the handover request message of the S1 handover in the cell, the MME connected to the UE selects the target MME for the UE as the source MME of the UE, and sends a Forward Relocation Request message to the target MME, where the message includes the UE.
- the context of the source MME such as UE security context, UE network capability, S-GW address of the UE, and the context of the data bearer).
- Step 404 After receiving the forwarding relocation request message, the target MME of the UE determines whether the serving gateway (S-GW) of the UE can still serve the UE. If yes, the target MME sends a handover request message to the eNB; the handover request message includes The control signaling identifier assigned by the target MME to the UE.
- S-GW serving gateway
- Step 405 After receiving the handover request message, the eNB determines that the handover is an intra-cell handover of the UE. Then, the eNB updates the MME corresponding to the UE to the control signaling identifier allocated by the target MME to the UE, and then sends a handover request acknowledgement message to the target MME of the UE.
- Step 406 After receiving the handover request acknowledgement message, the target MME of the UE sends a forward relocation response message to the source MME of the UE.
- Step 407 The source MME sends a handover command message to the eNB, and the eNB further forwards the handover command message to the UE.
- Step 408 After receiving the handover command message, the UE updates the information of the security context, and then sends a handover confirmation message to the eNB.
- Step 409 After receiving the handover confirmation message, the eNB sends a handover notification message to the target MME of the UE.
- Steps 410 to 411 the target MME of the UE sends a Forward Relocation Complete Notification message to the source MME of the UE, and the source MME of the UE forwards a Relocation Complete Confirmation Acknowledgement message to the target MME of the UE.
- Step 412 The target MME of the UE sends a modify bearer request message to the S-GW of the UE, where the target MME address, the TEID, and the like are included.
- Step 413 The S-GW of the UE sends a modify bearer response message to the target MME of the UE.
- Step 414 Since the S-GW of the UE is also located in the eNB, after the S-GW of the UE sends the modify bearer response message to the target MME of the UE, the eNB may send a user equipment context release complete message to the source MME of the UE, the source of the UE. After receiving the message, the MME releases the context information related to the UE, and the process of the UE unloading from the source MME and migrating to the target MME is completed.
- the process of this embodiment is basically the same as the process of FIG. 4, except that, as shown in FIG. 5, in step 501, the MME connected to the UE sends the MME to the eNB serving the UE.

LTE-Advanced retains the core of LTE for Long-Term Evolution (LTE). Based on this, a series of technologies are used to expand the frequency domain and airspace to improve spectrum utilization and increase system capacity. .
无线中继( Wireless Relay )是 LTE- Advanced中的一项关键技术, 旨在 扩展小区的覆盖范围、 减少通信中的死角地区、 平衡负载、 转移热点地区 的业务和节省用户设备(UE, User Equipment )的发射功率。 中继节点(RN, Relay Node )对接入的 UE提供与普通 eNB类似的功能和服务, 又通过无 线接口以类似于普通 UE的方式接入一个服务于它的 eNB, 服务于 RN的 eNB称为 Donor eNB, 简称 DeNB。 DeNB与移动管理实体( MME, Mobility Management Entity )连接。 MME为 UE提供的功能包括: 非接入层信令、 加密和完整性保护,对 3GPP用户在 2G/3G/LTE网络中的移动性进行管理, 具体包括用户接入控制、 鉴权、 数据加密、 业务承载控制、 寻呼、 切换控 制等控制信令的处理。多个 MME—起服务一个公共的地理区域,在该地理 区域内 eNB或 DeNB以网状结构连接到该区域内的多个 MME。 在该公共 地理区域内的 MME集合构成一个 MME池,该区域又被称为 MME池区域, 对应若干个跟踪区域, UE在这些跟踪区域内移动时, 不需要更换 MME。 在中继场景下, DeNB既要为 RN选择合适的 MME, 也要为 RN服务 的 UE选择合适的 MME。 DeNB在为 RN以及 UE选择 MME时,要考虑到 MME的负载均衡, 即保证在 MME池区域内各个 MME的负载均衡。 系统 在运维过程中需要从 MME池区域去除某个 MME时,要将该 MME服务的 所有 UE或 RN卸载、 并迁移到其他 MME。 在此过程中, 对处于连接模式 的 UE, MME向对应的 eNB发起 S1释放流程, 释放原因为负载平衡引起 的跟踪区域更新; eNB收到消息后, 向 UE发起 RRC连接释放流程, 要求 释放与 UE之间的 RRC连接, 释放原因同样为负载平衡引起的跟踪区域更 新; UE收到消息后, 释放与 eNB之间的连接。 而对处于连接模式的 RN, MME向对应的 DeNB发起释放原因同样为负载平衡引起的跟踪区域更新的 S1释放流程, DeNB收到消息后, 释放与 RN之间的 RRC连接; 此外, RN 还要释放掉与所服务 UE之间的 RRC连接。 对于普通 UE的 MME卸载, 受到影响的只有 UE本身, 而对于 RN的 MME卸载, 则会影响到 RN所服 务的 UE的服务连续性,例如 RN所服务的 UE与该 RN不属于同一个 MME 时, 这些 UE所连接的 MME可能并没有发生卸载, 因此没有必要进行负载 平衡引起的跟踪区域更新所引起的 RRC连接及 S1连接释放。 发明内容 Wireless Relay is a key technology in LTE-Advanced, designed to extend cell coverage, reduce dead zones in communications, balance load, transfer hotspot services, and save user equipment (UE, User Equipment) The transmission power. The relay node (RN) provides similar functions and services to the accessing UE, and accesses an eNB serving the eNB in a manner similar to the normal UE through the radio interface. It is a Donor eNB, referred to as DeNB. The DeNB is connected to a mobility management entity (MME, Mobility Management Entity). The functions provided by the MME for the UE include: non-access stratum signaling, encryption, and integrity protection, and manage mobility of 3GPP users in 2G/3G/LTE networks, including user access control, authentication, and data encryption. Processing of control signaling such as service bearer control, paging, and handover control. The plurality of MMEs serve to serve a common geographic area in which the eNB or DeNB is connected in a mesh structure to a plurality of MMEs in the area. The MME set in the public geographic area constitutes an MME pool, which is also referred to as an MME pool area. Corresponding to several tracking areas, when the UE moves within these tracking areas, there is no need to replace the MME. In the relay scenario, the DeNB needs to select an appropriate MME for the RN, and also select a suitable MME for the UE served by the RN. When selecting the MME for the RN and the UE, the DeNB should consider the load balancing of the MME, that is, ensure the load balancing of each MME in the MME pool area. When a certain MME needs to be removed from the MME pool area in the operation and maintenance process, all UEs or RNs served by the MME are to be offloaded and migrated to other MMEs. In this process, for the UE in the connected mode, the MME initiates an S1 release procedure to the corresponding eNB, and the release causes the tracking area update caused by the load balancing. After receiving the message, the eNB initiates an RRC connection release procedure to the UE, requesting release and The RRC connection between the UEs is also caused by the tracking area update caused by load balancing. After receiving the message, the UE releases the connection with the eNB. For the RN in the connected mode, the MME initiates the S1 release procedure for the tracking area update caused by the load balancing to the corresponding DeNB. After receiving the message, the DeNB releases the RRC connection with the RN. In addition, the RN needs to release the RRC connection with the RN. The RRC connection with the served UE is released. For the MME offloading of the normal UE, only the UE itself is affected, and the MME offloading of the RN affects the service continuity of the UE served by the RN, for example, when the UE served by the RN does not belong to the same MME. The MMEs connected to these UEs may not be uninstalled, so there is no need to perform RRC connection and S1 connection release caused by tracking area update caused by load balancing. Summary of the invention

实施例一 Embodiment 1
当系统在运维过程中需要从 MME池区域去除某个 MME时, 要将该 MME服务的所有 UE或 RN卸载并迁移到其他 MME。 When the system needs to remove an MME from the MME pool area during the operation and maintenance process, all UEs or RNs served by the MME are to be offloaded and migrated to other MMEs.
该实施例中 ,假设确定 MME需要进行再平衡全部卸载 ,且 MME选择 月良务的 RN进行卸载, 相应的 , 该 RN所服务的、 连接到该 MME的 UE也 会被卸载, 而该 RN所服务的、 没有连接到该 MME的 UE没有被卸载。 当 然, MME也可选择服务的 UE进行卸载, 其具体过程同 MME选择服务的 RN进行卸载的过程。 In this embodiment, it is assumed that the MME needs to perform re-balancing all offloading, and the MME selects the RN of the monthly service to perform the offloading. Accordingly, the UE that is served by the RN and connected to the MME is also uninstalled, and the RN is also uninstalled. The UEs that are not connected to the MME are not uninstalled. Of course, the MME may also select the serving UE to perform the offloading process, and the specific process is the same as the RN selecting the serving RN to perform the uninstall process.
以 MME选择服务的 RN进行卸载的过程为例, 如图 2所示, 保证 RN 服务 UE的服务连续性的处理流程包括: For example, the process of ensuring service continuity of the RN service UE is as follows:
步驟 201 , 对于处于连接模式的 RN, 与其连接的 MME (该 MME需 要从 MME池区域去除 )向对应的 DeNB (即服务于该 RN的 eNB )发送用 户设备上下文释放命令消息, 释放原因为负载平衡引起的跟踪区域更新。 此时, 该 MME继续保留 RN的上下文以及对应的数据 7|载信息。 Step 201: For the RN in the connected mode, the MME connected to it (the MME needs to be removed from the MME pool area) sends a user equipment context release command message to the corresponding DeNB (ie, the eNB serving the RN), and the release reason is load balancing. The resulting tracking area update. At this time, the MME continues to retain the context of the RN and the corresponding data.
步驟 202, DeNB收到用户设备上下文释放命令消息后, DeNB向与 RN 连接的 MME发送切换需求消息,原因值为小区内 S1切换, 目的为发起 RN 的 MME更新, 该切换需求消息中的目标基站仍为该 DeNB。 Step 202: After receiving the user equipment context release command message, the DeNB sends a handover request message to the MME connected to the RN, where the cause value is an intra-cell S1 handover, and the purpose is to initiate an MME update of the RN, and the target base station in the handover requirement message Still the DeNB.
步驟 203, 与 RN连接的 MME收到原因值为小区内 S1切换的切换需 求消息后, 作为 RN的源 MME为 RN选择新的 MME (本发明称之为目标 MME ), 并发送转发重定位请求消息给目标 MME, 该消息包含 RN在源 MME的上下文 (如 RN安全上下文、 RN网络能力、 RN的 S-GW地址、 以 及数据承载的上下文等信息)。 Step 203: After receiving the handover request message of the S1 handover in the cell, the MME connected to the RN selects a new MME (referred to as a target MME in the present invention) as the source MME of the RN, and sends a forwarding relocation request. The message is sent to the target MME, and the message includes the context of the RN in the source MME (such as the RN security context, the RN network capability, the S-GW address of the RN, and the context of the data bearer).
步驟 204, RN的目标 MME收到转发重定位请求消息后, 判断服务网 关(S-GW )是否依然能为 RN服务, 如果是, 目标 MME发送切换请求消 息给 DeNB;切换请求消息中包含目标 MME为 RN分配的控制信令标识符。 Step 204: After receiving the forwarding relocation request message, the target MME of the RN determines whether the serving gateway (S-GW) can still serve the RN. If yes, the target MME sends a handover request message to the DeNB; the handover request message includes the target MME. The control signaling identifier assigned to the RN.
步驟 205 , DeNB收到切换请求消息后, 判定该切换是 RN的小区内切 换, 则 DeNB将该 RN的源 MME为其分配的控制信令标识符更新为目标 MME为其分配的控制信令标识符, 然后发送切换请求确认消息给 RN的目 标 MME。 Step 205: After receiving the handover request message, the DeNB determines that the handover is an intra-cell handover of the RN, and the DeNB updates the control signaling identifier allocated by the source MME of the RN to the control signaling identifier allocated by the target MME. Then, a handover request acknowledgement message is sent to the target MME of the RN.
步驟 206, RN的目标 MME收到切换请求确认消息后, 发送转发重定 位响应消息给 RN的源 MME。 Step 206: After receiving the handover request acknowledgement message, the target MME of the RN sends a forward relocation response message to the source MME of the RN.
步驟 207, 源 MME发送切换命令消息给 DeNB, DeNB进一步转发切 换命令消息给 RN。 Step 207: The source MME sends a handover command message to the DeNB, and the DeNB further forwards the handover command message to the RN.
步驟 208, RN接收到切换命令消息后, 更新自身的安全上下文, 然后 发送切换确认消息给 DeNB。 Step 208: After receiving the handover command message, the RN updates its own security context, and then sends a handover confirmation message to the DeNB.
步驟 209, DeNB收到切换确认消息后, 发送切换通知消息给 RN的目 标 MME。 Step 209: After receiving the handover confirmation message, the DeNB sends a handover notification message to the target MME of the RN.
步驟 210~211 , RN的目标 MME发送转发重定位完成通知消息给 RN 的源 MME; RN的源 MME相应的回复转发重定位完成确认消息给 RN的 目标 MME。 Steps 210 to 211, the target MME of the RN sends a Forward Relocation Complete Notification message to the RN. The source MME; the source MME of the RN correspondingly forwards the relocation complete confirmation message to the target MME of the RN.
步驟 212, RN的目标 MME发送修改承载请求消息给 RN的 S-GW, 其中包括目标 MME地址、 TEID等信息。 Step 212: The target MME of the RN sends an S-GW that modifies the bearer request message to the RN, including the target MME address, the TEID, and the like.
步驟 213, RN的 S-GW接收到修改承载请求消息, 进行承载的相应修 改, 然后发送修改承载响应消息给 RN的目标 MME。 Step 213: The S-GW of the RN receives the modify bearer request message, performs corresponding modification of the bearer, and then sends a modify bearer response message to the target MME of the RN.
步驟 214, 由于 RN的 S-GW也位于 DeNB , 因此当 RN的 S-GW发送 修改承载响应消息给 RN的目标 MME后, DeNB可发送用户设备上下文释 放完成消息给 RN的源 MME, RN的源 MME收到该消息后, 释放该 RN 相关的上下文信息,则 RN从源 MME卸载并迁移到目标 MME的过程完成。 Step 214: Since the S-GW of the RN is also located in the DeNB, after the S-GW of the RN sends the modify bearer response message to the target MME of the RN, the DeNB may send a user equipment context release complete message to the source MME of the RN, the source of the RN. After receiving the message, the MME releases the context information related to the RN, and the process of the RN being offloaded from the source MME and migrating to the target MME is completed.
实施例二 Embodiment 2
该实施例的处理过程与图 2的流程基本相同, 区别在于, 如图 3所示: 步驟 301中, 与 RN连接的 MME向服务 RN的 DeNB发送的是 MME 卸载 RN指示消息(较佳地, 为 MME再平衡卸载 RN指示消息); 相应的, 步驟 302中 DeNB收到 MME再平衡卸载 RN指示消息后,向与 RN连接的 MME发送切换需求消息。 The process of this embodiment is basically the same as the process of FIG. 2, except that, as shown in FIG. 3, in step 301, the MME connected to the RN sends an MME offload RN indication message to the DeNB of the serving RN (better, The MME re-equalizes the RN indication message). Correspondingly, after receiving the MME re-balancing offload RN indication message, the DeNB sends a handover request message to the MME connected to the RN.
最后, 步驟 314中, 当 RN的 S-GW发送修改承载响应消息给 RN的目 标 MME后 , DeNB可发送 MME卸载 RN确认消息 (较佳地, 为 MME再 平衡卸载 RN确认消息 )给 RN的源 MME, RN的源 MME收到该消息后 , 释放与该 RN相关的上下文信息。 Finally, in step 314, after the S-GW of the RN sends the modify bearer response message to the target MME of the RN, the DeNB may send an MME offload RN acknowledgement message (preferably, the MME rebalances the offload RN acknowledgement message) to the source of the RN. After receiving the message, the source MME of the MME releases the context information related to the RN.
从上述两个实施例可以看出, 由 DeNB发起的原因值为小区内 S1切换 的 RN的 MME更新流程中, 对于 RN所服务的、 且与该 RN不属于同一个 MME的 UE, 源 MME只是卸载了 RN, 并没有卸载这部分 UE, 因此 RN 从源 MME切换到目标 MME后可以继续为这些 UE提供服务, 保证了 UE 服务的连续性。 另夕卜, 本发明实施例还提出了去除 MME时, 卸载 UE的处理流程。 实施例三 It can be seen from the above two embodiments that the cause value initiated by the DeNB is the MME update procedure of the RN in the intra-cell S1 handover. For the UE served by the RN and not belonging to the same MME as the RN, the source MME is only The RN is offloaded, and the UE is not offloaded. Therefore, after the RN switches from the source MME to the target MME, the RN can continue to provide services for these UEs, ensuring continuity of UE services. In addition, the embodiment of the present invention further proposes a process flow of uninstalling the UE when the MME is removed. Embodiment 3
当系统在运维过程中需要从 MME池区域去除某个 MME时, 要将该 MME服务的所有 UE或 RN卸载迁移到其他 MME。 When the system needs to remove an MME from the MME pool area during the operation and maintenance process, all UEs or RNs served by the MME are offloaded and migrated to other MMEs.
该实施例中,假设 MME需要进行部分卸载,则优先选择普通用户设备 节点、 即 UE进行卸载; 当然, 也可以选择 RN进行卸载。 In this embodiment, it is assumed that the MME needs to perform partial offloading, and then the normal user equipment node, that is, the UE, is preferentially uninstalled; of course, the RN may also be selected for offloading.
以选择 UE进行卸载为例, 如图 4所示, 保证 RN服务 UE的服务连续 性的处理流程包括: For example, as shown in FIG. 4, the process of ensuring service continuity of the RN serving UE includes:
步驟 401 , 对于处于连接模式的 UE, 与其连接的 MME (该 MME需要 从 MME池区域去除 )向对应的 eNB (即服务于该 UE的 eNB )发送用户设 备上下文释放命令消息, 释放原因为负载平衡引起的跟踪区域更新。 此时, 该 MME继续保留 UE (此处指源 MME服务的 UE ) 的上下文以及对应的 数据承载信息。 Step 401: For the UE in the connected mode, the MME connected to the MME (the MME needs to be removed from the MME pool area) sends a user equipment context release command message to the corresponding eNB (ie, the eNB serving the UE), and the release reason is load balancing. The resulting tracking area update. At this time, the MME continues to retain the context of the UE (here, the UE served by the source MME) and the corresponding data bearer information.
步驟 402, eNB收到用户设备上下文释放命令消息后, 向与 UE连接的 MME发送切换需求消息, 原因值为小区内 S1切换, 切换需求消息中的目 标基站仍为该 eNB。 Step 402: After receiving the user equipment context release command message, the eNB sends a handover request message to the MME connected to the UE, where the cause value is an intra-cell S1 handover, and the target base station in the handover requirement message is still the eNB.
步驟 403, 与 UE连接的 MME收到原因值为小区内 S1切换的切换需 求消息后, 作为 UE的源 MME为 UE选择目标 MME, 并发送转发重定位 请求消息给目标 MME, 该消息包含 UE在源 MME的上下文(如 UE安全 上下文、 UE网络能力、 UE的 S-GW地址、以及数据承载的上下文等信息)。 Step 403: After receiving the handover request message of the S1 handover in the cell, the MME connected to the UE selects the target MME for the UE as the source MME of the UE, and sends a Forward Relocation Request message to the target MME, where the message includes the UE. The context of the source MME (such as UE security context, UE network capability, S-GW address of the UE, and the context of the data bearer).
步驟 404, UE的目标 MME收到转发重定位请求消息后, 判断 UE的 服务网关 ( S-GW )是否依然能为 UE服务, 如果是, 目标 MME发送切换 请求消息给 eNB;切换请求消息中包含目标 MME为 UE分配的控制信令标 识符。 Step 404: After receiving the forwarding relocation request message, the target MME of the UE determines whether the serving gateway (S-GW) of the UE can still serve the UE. If yes, the target MME sends a handover request message to the eNB; the handover request message includes The control signaling identifier assigned by the target MME to the UE.
步驟 405 , eNB收到切换请求消息后,判定该切换是 UE的小区内切换, 则 eNB将该 UE对应的 MME更新为目标 MME为 UE分配的控制信令标识 符, 然后发送切换请求确认消息给 UE的目标 MME。 Step 405: After receiving the handover request message, the eNB determines that the handover is an intra-cell handover of the UE. Then, the eNB updates the MME corresponding to the UE to the control signaling identifier allocated by the target MME to the UE, and then sends a handover request acknowledgement message to the target MME of the UE.
步驟 406, UE的目标 MME收到切换请求确认消息后, 发送转发重定 位响应消息给 UE的源 MME。 Step 406: After receiving the handover request acknowledgement message, the target MME of the UE sends a forward relocation response message to the source MME of the UE.
步驟 407, 源 MME发送切换命令消息给 eNB, eNB进一步转发切换命 令消息给 UE。 Step 407: The source MME sends a handover command message to the eNB, and the eNB further forwards the handover command message to the UE.
步驟 408, UE接收到切换命令消息后, 更新安全上下文的信息, 然后 发送切换确认消息给 eNB。 Step 408: After receiving the handover command message, the UE updates the information of the security context, and then sends a handover confirmation message to the eNB.
步驟 409, eNB收到切换确认消息后, 发送切换通知消息给 UE的目标 MME。 Step 409: After receiving the handover confirmation message, the eNB sends a handover notification message to the target MME of the UE.
步驟 410~411 , UE的目标 MME发送转发重定位完成通知消息给 UE 的源 MME; UE的源 MME相应的回复转发重定位完成确认消息给 UE的 目标 MME。 Steps 410 to 411, the target MME of the UE sends a Forward Relocation Complete Notification message to the source MME of the UE, and the source MME of the UE forwards a Relocation Complete Confirmation Acknowledgement message to the target MME of the UE.
步驟 412, UE的目标 MME发送修改承载请求消息给 UE的 S-GW,其 中包括目标 MME地址、 TEID等信息。 Step 412: The target MME of the UE sends a modify bearer request message to the S-GW of the UE, where the target MME address, the TEID, and the like are included.
步驟 413 , UE的 S-GW发送修改承载响应消息给 UE的目标 MME。 步驟 414, 由于 UE的 S-GW也位于 eNB, 因此当 UE的 S-GW发送修 改承载响应消息给 UE的目标 MME后, eNB可发送用户设备上下文释放完 成消息给 UE的源 MME, UE的源 MME收到该消息后 ,释放与该 UE相关 的上下文信息, 则 UE从源 MME卸载并迁移到目标 MME的过程完成。 Step 413: The S-GW of the UE sends a modify bearer response message to the target MME of the UE. Step 414: Since the S-GW of the UE is also located in the eNB, after the S-GW of the UE sends the modify bearer response message to the target MME of the UE, the eNB may send a user equipment context release complete message to the source MME of the UE, the source of the UE. After receiving the message, the MME releases the context information related to the UE, and the process of the UE unloading from the source MME and migrating to the target MME is completed.
