本发明涉及无线通信技术领域,尤指一种信息传输方法、装置、系统和计算机存储介质。
随着无线通信技术的发展,移动网络应用中,对业务量的需求、终端数量和终端种类都呈现出爆发式的增长趋势,第五代移动通信技术(5th Generation,简称为:5G)已成为未来网络发展的趋势。机器间(Machine to Machine,简称为:M2M)通信(Machine Type Communication,简称为:MTC)作为5G系统的重要场景和技术手段之一,将成为未来无线通信的一个重要应用领域。
在MTC技术的研究中,针对低成本和低吞吐量类型的终端设备,提出了窄带物联网(NarowBand-Internet of Things,简称为:NB-IoT)的研究课题,也就是在200千赫兹(kHz)频带为NB-IoT低成本终端设备(User Equipment,简称为:UE)提供低吞吐量的无线通讯服务。NB-IoT针对UE低成本和小数据量传输的特性,引入了不同的上行窄带接入能力,以及优化的数据传输方案,该优化的数据传输方案包括基于用户面和控制面传输的优化方案。目前的标准状态下,基站没有获取UE的窄带接入能力,以及基于用户面和控制面传输优化方案的支持能力的标准方案,上述UE的各种能力在MTC系统的无线连接的应用中起到至关重要的作用,因此,在MTC中如何传递UE的窄带接入能力,以及基于用户面和控制面传输优化方案的支持能力成为目前亟需解决的问题。

上述背景技术中提到针对UE低成本和小数据量传输的特性,引入了不同的上行窄带接入能力,以及优化的数据传输方案。具体地,其一,NB-IoT针对UE低成本的特性,引入了不同的上行窄带接入能力,包括单频接入(Single-Tone)和多频接入(Multi-Tone)。不同窄带接入能力的UE,基站在上分配上行资源时只能分配相应窄带带宽的上行信道资源;此外,考虑到NB-IoT的200kHz频谱带宽比较小,每个上行频点同时承载两种不同窄带的物理信道容易产生频谱资源碎片,增加了物理上行共享信道(Physical Uplink Shared Channel,简称为:PUSCH)资源调度的复杂性等问题。其二,NB-IoT针对小数据量的特性,引入了优化的数据传输方案;其中,基于控制面传输的优化方案的基本思路是:将数据包打包成非接入层(Non-Access Stratum)分组数据单元(Packet Data Unit,简称为:PDU),即NAS PDU,将该NAS PDU附着在控制面信令中传输;基于用户面传输的优化方案的基本思路是:终端和基站使用数据无线承载(Data Radio Bearer,简称为:DRB)传输数据,数据传输完毕后,双方保存承载信息上下文,接入层(Access Stratum,简称为:AS)安全上下文等,后续再次发送数据时,双方通过挂起-激活流程来快速恢复DRB承载的使用。
在长期演进(Long Term Evolution,简称为:LTE)系统中,如果要向处于空闲状态的UE发送数据的时候,MME需要向UE注册的跟踪区(Tracking Area,简称为:TA)内的所有演进型基站(evolved Node B,简称为:eNB)发送寻呼消息,然后eNB将该寻呼消息转发给UE。
下面通过具体的实施例对本发明的技术方案进行详细说明,本发明以下各实施例中信息传输方法涉及三个网元:基站、UE和MME,本发明各实施例中的基站通常为LTE系统中的eNB。本发明提供以下几个具体的实施例可以相互结合,对于相同或相似的概念或过程可能在某些实施例不再赘述。
在本发明的各种实施例中:第一基站获取UE的NB-IoT支持能力,其中,所述UE的NB-IoT支持能力包括所述UE的上行窄带接入能力,以及基于用户面和控制面传输优化方案的支持能力中的一项或多项;所述第一基站向第一MME发送所述UE的NB-IoT支持能力,以指示所述第一MME存储所述UE的NB-IoT支持能力,并指示所述第一MME在所述UE请求重新建立RRC连接或所述UE接入的基站改变时,将所述UE的NB-IoT支持能力发送给所述UE当前接入的基站,所述UE当前接入的基站在所述第一MME下;而所述第一MME接收第一基站发送的UE的NB-IoT支持能力;所述第一MME存储所述UE的NB-IoT支持能力;所述第一MME在所述UE请求通过第二基站建立RRC连接或所述UE从所述第一基站切换到所述第一MME下的第二基站时,将所述UE的NB-IoT支持能力发送给所述第二基站。
图1为本发明实施例提供的一种信息传输方法的流程图。本实施例提供的信息传输方法适用于在NB-IoT中传输能力信息的情况中,该方法可以由信息传输装置执行,该信息传输装置通过硬件和软件结合的方式来实现,该装置可以集成在基站的处理器中,供处理器调用使用。如图1所示,本实施例的方法可以包括:
S110,第一基站通过与UE建立RRC连接获取UE的NB-IoT支持能力,该UE的NB-IoT支持能力包括UE的上行窄带接入能力,以及基于用户面和控制面传输优化方案的支持能力中的一项或多项。
在本实施例中,触发第一基站与UE建立无线资源控制(Radio Resource Control,简称为:RRC)连接的原因例如包括UE进行初始附着,或UE的NB-IoT支持能力的发生变化,或第一基站为UE分配无线资源且该第一基站未获取到UE的NB-IoT支持能力,并且在上述几种情况中,第一基站获取UE的NB-IoT支持能力的具体方式如图2所示,为图1所示实施例提供的信息传输方法中一种建立RRC连接的信令交互流程图,即S110具体包括:
S1,第一基站接收UE发送的RRC连接请求消息。
S2,第一基站向UE发送RRC连接建立消息。
S3,第一基站接收UE发送的RRC连接建立完成消息。
S4,第一基站向第一MME发送初始UE消息,该初始UE消息中包括附着请求信息、跟踪区更新(Tracking Area Update,简称为:TAU)请求信息或服务请求信息。
S5,第一基站接收第一MME发送的初始上下文建立请求消息,该初始上下文建立请求消息中包括附着接受信息、TAU接受信息或未包括UE的NB-IoT支持能力。
在本实施例中,若第一基站与UE建立RRC连接的触发原因为UE进行初始附着,则S4的初始消息中具体包括附着请求信息,S5的初始上下文建立请求消息中具体包括附着接受信息;若第一基站与UE建立RRC连接的触发原因为UE的NB-IoT支持能力的发生变化,则S4的初始消息中具体包括TAU请求信息,S5的初始上下文建立请求消息中具体包括TAU接受信息;若第一基站为UE分配无线资源且该第一基站未获取到UE的NB-IoT支持能力,则S4的初始消息中具体包括服务请求信息,S5的初始上下文建立请求消息中未包括UE的NB-IoT支持能力。
S6,第一基站向UE发送UE能力查询消息。
S7,第一基站接收UE发送的UE能力信息指示消息,该UE能力信息指示消息中包括UE的NB-IoT支持能力。具体地,本实施例中的NB-IoT支持能力包含在UE能力信息指示消息内的UE无线能力(UE Radio Capability)信元中。
需要说明的是,上述流程,即S1~S7为建立RRC连接的一般性流程,在UE通过不同的基站重新建立RRC连接时,需要通过重新执行该流程将UE的NB-IoT支持能力发送给当前接入的基站,或者在UE的NB-IoT支持能力发生变化时,需要通过重新执行该流程将UE的当前的NB-IoT支持能力发送给基站。
S120,第一基站向第一MME发送UE的NB-IoT支持能力,以指示第一MME存储UE的NB-IoT支持能力,并指示第一MME在UE请求重新建立RRC连接或UE接入的基站改变时,将UE的NB-IoT支持能力发送给UE当前接入的基站,UE当前接入的基站在第一MME下。
在本实施例中,第一基站、UE和第一MME在通过执行图2所示的流程后,第一基站中具有UE的NB-IoT支持能力,随后,第一基站将UE的NB-IoT支持能力发送给第一MME,以便于第一MME将UE的NB-IoT支持能力存储在该第一MME中为后续的无线业务提供服务。例如,在UE请求重新建立RRC连接,或者UE接入的基站改变时,第一MME可以将UE的NB-IoT支持能力发送给UE当前接入的基站。
需要说明的是,本发明各实施例中的第一MME均为第一基站接入的MME,并且第一基站向第一MME发送UE的NB-IoT支持能力的目的都是为了指示第一MME存储UE的NB-IoT支持能力,在后续的无线业务中使用。
本实施例所提供的信息传输方法,第一基站通过与UE建立RRC连接获取该UE的NB-IoT支持能力,该UE的NB-IoT支持能力可以包括UE的上行窄带接入能力,以及基于用户面和控制面传输优化方案的支持能力中的一项或多项,并且该第一基站通过向第一MME发送已获取的UE的NB-IoT支持能力,指示第一MME存储该UE的NB-IoT支持能力,从而为后续的业务提供服务;本实施例通过合理的设计UE的NB-IoT支持能力的传递方式,提高了NB-IoT中无线连接业务的实用性。
需要说明的是,在上述图1所示实施例的基础上,第一MME中已存储有UE的NB-IoT支持能力,并且可以将该UE的NB-IoT支持能力应用于后续无线业务中,以下各实施例均基于图1所示实施例;另外,本发明实施例中以第一基站侧为执行主体的各实施例,在说明后续业务的具体执行方式,可能会假设图1所示实施例中与UE建立RRC连接的不是第一基站,而是其他基站,例如同样为第一MME下的基站,再例如还可以为其它MME下的基站。
进一步地,图3为本发明实施例提供的另一种信息传输方法的流程图。本实施例的应用场景为,UE与第一基站在图1所示实例中建立的RRC连接已断开;或者,UE之前与第一MME下的第二基站建立RRC连接,此时UE需要切换到第一MME下的第一基站,即UE需要与第一基站建立RRC连接,则本实施例提供的方法还包括:
S130,第一基站通过与UE重新建立RRC连接,从第一MME中获取UE的NB-IoT支持能力。
在本实施例中,第一基站从第一MME中获取UE的NB-IoT支持能力的具体方式可以参考图2所示的流程图,同样需要执行图2中的S1~S5,与上述图2所示流程不同的是,本实施例S4的初始UE消息中具体包括服务请求信息,S5中第一基站接收到的初始上下文建立请求消息中包括有UE的NB-IoT支持能力,该UE的NB-IoT支持能力即为第一MME在之前建立RRC连接时存储的,因此,不需要由第一基站通过向UE发起UE查询消息来获取该UE的NB-IoT支持能力;也就是说,第一MME中存储UE的NB-IoT支持能力为后续业务服务提供了更便捷的应用方式,从而提高了业务效率。
图4为本发明实施例提供的又一种信息传输方法的流程图。本实施例的应用场景为,UE之前与第二MME下的第三基站建立RRC连接,此时UE需要切换到第一MME下的第一基站,即UE需要与该第一基站建立RRC连接,则本实施例提供的方法还包括:
S130,第一基站接收第一MME发送的切换命令,该切换命令为第三基站发送给第二MME,并由第二MME转发给第一MME的,该切换命令中包括UE的NB-IoT支持能力和切换的目标地址,该目标地址为第一MME下的第一基站。
S140,第一基站解调切换命令,并获取切换命令中的UE的NB-IoT支持能力。
S150,第一基站将UE的NB-IoT支持能力发送给第一MME,以指示第一MME存储UE的NB-IoT支持能力。
在本实施例中,第一MME和第二MME接收到切换命令后,均不解析该切换命令的内容,也就是说,即使第一MME先于第一基站接收到该切换命令,但第一MME并不知道该切换命令中的具体内容,第一MME和第二MME的目的只是为了将该切换命令传递给目标基站,即第一基站,在第一基站解调该切换命令后,可以将解调出的UE的NB-IoT支持能力发送给第一MME,以指示该第一MME存储UE的NB-IoT支持能力,以便为后续
的无线业务提供服务。
图5为本发明实施例提供的再一种信息传输方法的流程图。本实施例的应用场景为,当前与UE已建立RRC连接的基站为第一基站,即在上述图1所示应用场景的基础上,本实施例提供的方法还包括:
S130,第一基站接收UE发送的测量信息,该测量信息向第一基站指示UE切换的目标基站为第四基站。
S140,第一基站通过测量信息指示第四基站获取包括UE的NB-IoT支持能力的切换请求消息,切换请求消息用于指示第二基站根据UE的NB-IoT支持能力为UE分配无线资源。
在本实施例中,UE切换的目标基站,即第四基站可以与第一基站均在第一MME下,还可以为其它MME下的基站,在该第四基站所属的网络位置不同时,其获取UE的NB-IoT支持能力的方式也有所不同。
可选地,若第一基站与第四基站均在第一MME下,且第一基站和第四基站之间通过X2接口连接,则本实施例中的S140可以替换为:第一基站通过X2接口向第四基站发送包括UE的NB-IoT支持能力的切换请求消息,X2接口为连接基站的接口,同一MME下的基站可以通过X2接口进行直接传输,具体地,UE的NB-IoT支持能力包含在第一基站发送的切换请求消息(Handover Request)中的源到目标的透明容器(Source to Target Transparent Container)信元中。
可选地,若第一基站和第四基站之间未设置有X2接口,则本实施例中的S140可以替换为:第一基站向第一MME发送切换请求消息,该切换请求消息用于指示第一MME向第四基站转发切换请求消息,其中,第一基站与第四基站均在第一MME下;或者,第一基站向第一MME发送切换请求消息,该切换请求消息用于指示第一MME向第二MME转发切换请求消息,以使得第二MME向第四基站转发切换请求消息,其中,第四基站在第二MME下。
需要说明的是,本实施例中的切换请求消息的传输时通过S1接口实现的,该S1接口为基站与MME间的接口;其中,第一基站向第一MME发送的切换请求消息,第一MME向第四基站发送的切换请求消息,第一MME
向第二MME发送的切换请求消息,以及第二MME向第四基站发送的切换请求消息中,源到目标的透明容器信元中包含了UE的NB-IoT支持能力。
图6为本发明实施例提供的还一种信息传输方法的流程图。本实施例的应用场景为,当前与UE建立RRC连接的基站为第一基站,并且第一基站在与UE建立RRC的过程中,已获取到UE的上下文信息,该UE的上下文信息包括承载信息上下文、接入层(Access Stratum,简称为:AS)安全上下文中的一项或多项,即在上述图1所示应用场景的基础上,则本实施例提供的方法还包括:
S130,第一基站确定挂起已建立的RRC连接。
S140,第一基站向第一MME发送UE的上下文信息,该UE的上下文信息用于指示第一MME在UE发起基于用户面传输的优化方案时,向UE接入的基站发送UE的上下文信息。
S150,第一基站挂起与UE已建立的RRC连接。
进一步地,本实施例在上述方法的基础上,在S140之后还包括:
S160,第一基站接收UE发送的RRC连接恢复请求消息。
S170,若第一基站中存储了UE的上下文信息,向UE发送RRC连接恢复完成消息。
S180,若第一基站中未存储UE的上下文信息,向第一MME发送UE上下文请求消息,并接收到第一MME返回的UE上下文响应消息,从而向UE发送RRC连接恢复完成消息。
需要说明的是,本实施例中的S170和S180是择一执行的,现有技术中,对于基于用户面传输的优化方案,目前的标准中提出的方法是:将UE的上下文信息保存在原先基站,UE移动到新基站并发起业务时,新基站通过X2口获取原先基站保存的上下文信息,或者重新建立UE上下文信息,对于原先基站与新基站之间没有X2接口的情况下,只能重新建立UE上下文信息,不能充分发挥该基于用户面传输优化方案的优势。本实施例通过将UE的上下文信息发送给第一基站接入的第一MME中,在UE通过激活流程恢复RRC连接时,无需重新建立UE上下文信息,也不受基站间
X2接口的限制。
需要说明的是,本发明上述各实施例中基站与MME之间,基站与基站之间,以及MME与MME之间传输UE的NB-IoT支持能力的同时,还可以传输小区的NB-IoT支持能力,即通过专用信令传递小区能力。例如S120中第一基站向第一MME发送的UE的NB-IoT支持能力中,还携带有第一基站下每个小区的NB-IoT支持能力,该第一基站下每个小区的NB-IoT支持能力包括第一基站下每个小区的上行窄带接入能力,以及基于用户面和控制面传输优化方案的支持能力;在例如图4所示实施例中的切换命令中还包括第三基站下每个小区的NB-IoT支持能力,该第三基站下每个小区的NB-IoT支持能力包括第三基站下每个小区的上行窄带接入能力,以及基于用户面和控制面传输优化方案的支持能力。在上述方式中,传递小区能力的专用信令例如包括:切换请求消息和切换请求响应消息,也可以通过请求失败里的失败原因来间接携带。
图7为本发明实施例提供的一种信息传输方法的信令流程图。本实施例的应用场景为,当前与UE建立RRC连接的基站为第一基站,并且第一基站和第五基站之间通过X2接口连接,本实施例具体说明小区能力的传递方式,则本实施例提供的方法还包括:
S101,第一基站通过X2接口向第五基站发送第一基站下每个小区的NB-IoT支持能力,第一基站下每个小区的NB-IoT支持能力包括第一基站下每个小区的上行窄带接入能力,以及基于用户面和控制面传输优化方案的支持能力。
S102,第一基站接收第五基站通过X2接口发送的第五基站下每个小区的NB-IoT支持能力,第五基站下每个小区的NB-IoT支持能力包括第五基站下每个小区的上行窄带接入能力,以及基于用户面和控制面传输优化方案的支持能力。
本实施例中第一基站与第五基站间传输的不是UE的能力,而是小区能力,当连接模式下负荷均衡或移动性导致的基站间小区变更时,UE选择的目标小区的能力需要与UE的能力相匹配,即源基站需要知道目标小区的能力,目标小区的基站也需要知道源小区的能力,因此,小区能力的传输影
响着UE切换的成功率。另外,本实施例中传递小区能力的公共信令例如包括:X2建立请求消息和X2建立响应消息,基站配置更新消息和消息配置更新确认消息,以及资源状态请求消息和资源状态响应消息等。
需要说明的是,图1所示实施例提供了一种传输UE的上行窄带接入能力的方式,在本发明提供的信息传输方法中,还可以通过其他方式传输UE的上行窄带接入能力;具体地,物理随机接入信道(Physical Random Access Channel,简称为:PRACH)针对UE的上行窄带接入能力设计了不同的传输格式和类型,如图8所示,为本发明实施例提供的另一种信息传输方法的信令流程图,本实施例仅针对UE的上行窄带接入能力的传输,即本实施例提供的方法可以包括:
S101,第一基站接收UE通过PRACH发送的UE的上行窄带接入能力。
S102,第一基站根据PRACH的类型确定UE的上行窄带接入能力为单频接入或多频接入。
如图8所示,当第一基站收到Single-Tone类型的PRACH时,就认为发起PRACH过程的UE是一个Single-Tone能力的UE;当第一基站收到Multi-Tone类型的PRACH时,就认为发起PRACH过程的UE是一个Multi-Tone能力的UE。
图9为本发明实施例提供的还一种信息传输方法的流程图。本实施例提供的信息传输方法适用于在NB-IoT执行寻呼控制的情况中,该方法可以由信息传输装置执行,该信息传输装置通过硬件和软件结合的方式来实现,该装置可以集成在MME的处理器中,供处理器调用使用。如图9所示,本实施例的方法可以包括:
S210,第一MME接收第一基站发送的UE的NB-IoT支持能力,该UE的NB-IoT支持能力为第一基站通过与UE建立RRC连接获取的,该UE的NB-IoT支持能力包括UE的上行窄带接入能力,以及基于用户面和控制面传输优化方案的支持能力中的一项或多项。
在本实施例中,触发第一基站与UE建立RRC连接的原因同样可以包括UE进行初始附着,UE的NB-IoT支持能力的发生变化,或第一基站为UE分配无线资源,且第一基站未获取到UE的NB-IoT支持能力,在上述
几种情况中,第一基站获取UE的NB-IoT支持能力的具体方式同样可以参照图2所示方式,故在此不再赘述。
S220,第一MME存储UE的NB-IoT支持能力。
S230,第一MME在UE请求通过第二基站建立RRC连接或UE从第一基站切换到第一MME下的第二基站时,将UE的NB-IoT支持能力发送给第二基站。
在本实施例中,第一基站、UE和第一MME在通过执行图2所示的流程后,第一基站中具有UE的NB-IoT支持能力,随后,第一MME接收并存储UE的NB-IoT支持能力,以便于第一MME为后续的业务提供服务。例如,在UE请求通过第二基站建立RRC连接,或者UE从第一基站切换到第二MME下的第二基站时,第一MME可以将UE的NB-IoT支持能力发送给UE当前接入的基站。
需要说明的是,本发明各实施例中的第一MME均为第一基站接入的MME,并且第一MME存储第一基站发送UE的NB-IoT支持能力的目的都是为了在后续的无线业务中使用。
本实施例所提供的信息传输方法,第一MME接收第一基站发送的UE的NB-IoT支持能力,该UE的NB-IoT支持能力为第一基站通过与UE建立RRC连接获取的,该UE的NB-IoT支持能力可以包括UE的上行窄带接入能力,以及基于用户面和控制面传输优化方案的支持能力中的一项或多项,并且第一MME通过存储UE的NB-IoT支持能力,在UE发起后续的无线业务时提供服务;本实施例通过合理的设计UE的NB-IoT支持能力的传递方式,提高NB-IoT中无线连接业务的实用性。
需要说明的是,在上述图9所示实施例的基础上,第一MME中已存储有UE的NB-IoT支持能力,并且可以将该UE的NB-IoT支持能力应用于后续的无线业务中,以下各实施例均基于图9所示实施例;另外,本发明为以第一MME侧为执行主体的各实施例,在说明后续业务的具体执行方式,可能会设图1所示实施例中与UE建立RRC连接的不是第一基站,而是其他基站,例如同样为第一MME下的基站,再例如还可以为其它MME下的基站。
进一步地,图10为本发明实施例提供的还一种信息传输方法的流程图。本实施例的应用场景为,UE请求通过第二基站建立RRC;或者,UE需要从第一基站切换到第一MME下的第二基站,即UE需要与第二基站建立RRC连接,则本实施例提供的方法还包括:
S240,第一MME接收第二基站发送的初始UE消息,该初始UE消息中包括服务请求信息。
S250,第一MME向第二基站发送初始上下文建立请求消息,该初始上下文建立请求消息中包括UE的NB-IoT支持能力。
在本实施例中,第一MME接收到第二基站发送的初始UE消息之前,第二基站执行的步骤可以参考图2所示流程中的S1~S3,与UE进行消息交互的具体是第二基站。本实施例中第一MME向第二基站发送的初始上下文建立请求消息中包括的UE的NB-IoT支持能力,为第一MME在之前建立RRC连接时存储的。因此,不需要由第二基站通过向UE发起UE查询消息来获取该UE的NB-IoT支持能力,即不需要执行图2所示实施例中的S6~S7;也就是说,第一MME中存储UE的NB-IoT支持能力为后续业务服务提供了更便捷的应用方式,从而提高了业务效率。
图11为本发明实施例提供的还一种信息传输方法的流程图。本实施例的应用场景为,UE之前与第二MME下的第三基站建立RRC连接,此时UE需要切换到第一MME下的第一基站,即UE需要与该第一基站建立RRC连接,则本实施例提供的方法还包括:

在本实施例中,第一MME和第二MME接收到切换命令后,均不解析该切换命令的内容,也就是说,即使第一MME先于第一基站接收到该切换命令,但第一MME并不知道该切换命令中的具体内容,第一MME和第二
MME的目的只是为了将该切换命令传递给目标基站,即第一基站,在第一基站解调该切换命令后,可以将解调出的UE的NB-IoT支持能力发送给第一MME,以指示该第一MME存储UE的NB-IoT支持能力,以便为后续的无线业务提供服务。

图13为本发明实施例提供的还一种信息传输方法的流程图。本实施例的应用场景为,当前与UE已建立RRC连接的基站为第一基站,UE需要从第一基站切换到第四基站,且第一基站和第四基站之间未设置有X2接口,即在上述图9所示应用场景的基础上,则本实施例提供的方法还包括:
S240,第一MME接收第一基站发送的切换请求,该切换请求为第一基站接收到UE发送的测量信息后发送给第一MME的,该测量信息用于指示UE切换的目标基站为第四基站。
S250,第一MME向第四基站转发切换请求消息,其中,第一基站与第四基站均在第一MME下;或者,第一MME向第二MME发送切换请求,切换请求用于指示第二MME向第四基站转发切换请求消息,其中,第四基站在第二MME下。
在本实施例中,UE切换的目标基站,即第四基站可以与第一基站均在第一MME下,还可以为其它MME下的基站,在该第四基站所属的网络位置不同时,其获取UE的NB-IoT支持能力的方式也有所不同。

S250,第一MME在UE发起基于用户面传输的优化方案时,向UE接入的基站发送UE的上下文信息。
进一步地,本实施例在上述方法的基础上,在S250之后还包括:

S270,第一MME向第一基站发送UE上下文响应消息,UE上下文响应消息用于指示第一基站向UE发送RRC连接恢复完成消息。
需要说明的是,本实施例中的S260和S270是择一执行的,现有技术
中,对于基于用户面传输的优化方案,目前的标准中提出的方法是:将UE的上下文信息保存在原先基站,UE移动到新基站并发起业务时,新基站通过X2口获取原先基站保存的上下文信息,或者重新建立UE上下文信息,对于原先基站与新基站之间没有X2接口的情况下,只能重新建立UE上下文信息,不能充分发挥该基于用户面传输优化方案的优势。本实施例通过将UE的上下文信息发送给第一基站接入的第一MME中,在UE通过激活流程恢复RRC连接时,无需重新建立UE上下文信息,也不受基站间X2接口的限制。
图15为本发明实施例提供的又一种信息传输方法的信令流程图。本实施例提供的信息传输方法适用于在NB-IoT中传输能力信息的情况中,该方法可以由UE、基站和MME执行。如图14所示,本实施例的方法可以包括:
S301,第一基站通过与UE建立RRC连接获取UE的NB-IoT支持能力,其中,该UE的NB-IoT支持能力包括UE的上行窄带接入能力,以及基于用户面和控制面传输优化方案的支持能力中的一项或多项。
