A kind of method and system of reserving packet data gateway address information
Technical field
The present invention relates to mobile communication technology, be specifically related to a kind of method and system of reserving packet data gateway address information.
Background technology
At present, along with development of Communication Technique, the 3G (Third Generation) Moblie technology reaches its maturity.Universal mobile telecommunications system (Universal Mobile Telecommunications System, UTMS) be to adopt Wideband Code Division Multiple Access (WCDMA) to insert (Wideband Code Division Multiple Access, WCDMA) 3-G (Generation Three mobile communication system) of air interface technologies, this system have adopted and the similar structure of second generation mobile communication system.But, consider the competitiveness of future network, 3GPP has proposed the application demand of a kind of evolution network framework of renewal with mobile network in satisfied 10 years futures or longer time, and this evolvement network can guarantee that 3G network can be smoothly transitted into evolution network framework from the structure of similar second generation mobile communication system.
Generally, evolution packet network (Evolved Packet System mainly comprises in EPS):
Packet data network gateway (Packet Data Network Gateway, PDN GW), PDN GW is the anchor point of user's face, remains unchanged in user's Session Time section.
User's subscribed services device, comprise home subscriber servers (Home Subscriber Server, HSS) or home location register (Home Location Register, HLR), be used to support the user to register and deposit user identity, position data and filtering policy information etc., and the authentication and authorization control information of network insertion of management carry out to(for) the user.
Mobility Management Entity (Mobility Management Entity, MME), be used to preserve MM Context (the Mobility Management Context of UE, MMC), sign, mobility status, tracking area (Tracking Area as the user, TA) information etc., and the user authenticated.
Service universal packet wireless business affair (General Packet Radio Service, GPRS) support node (Serving GPRS Support Node, SGSN) the 2G/3G user of Xiang Lianing can pass through evolved universal terrestrial radio access network (Evolved Universal Terrestrial Access Network, E-UTRAN)/GSM EDGE Radio Access Network network (GSM/EDGE Radio Access Network, GERAN; GSM:Global system for mobile communications, global system for mobile communications; EDGE:Enhanced data rates for GSM evolution, the enhanced data rates of GSM evolution) access SGSN.Described MME and SGSN also are collectively referred to as the user mobility management control entity usually.
The framework of above-mentioned evolvement network can be realized the compatibility to 2G/3G, therefore can realize the smooth upgrade by the network architecture.As seen, at UMTS in the process of evolution network framework transition, can there be the quite a long time simultaneously in network based on these two kinds of frameworks, during this period of time, certainly exist since terminal at the switching problem that moves between 3GPP connecting system and non-3GPP connecting system between the heterogeneous networks brought.
When UE activates a plurality of EPS carrying in the 3GPP connecting system, MME or SGSN will notify the employed PDN GW of this UE of HSS/HLR address information, the PDN address information comprises APN (Access Point Name, APN) and Internet protocol (InternetProtocol, IP) address of corresponding PDN GW.When UE switches to non-3GPP connecting system, UE will be by attachment removal (Detach) in the 3GPP connecting system, after after a while, MME or SGSN can send to HSS/HLR and remove (Purge) message, HSS/HLR then can identify this UE and be eliminated, represent that this UE is in inaccessible state, delete this UE employed PDN GW address information in the 3GPP connecting system simultaneously.
Defined the Purge process of being initiated by MME or SGSN in the existing standard, flow process comprises as shown in Figure 1:
Step 101: behind the subscription data and MMC of the UE that deletes an attachment removal, MME or SGSN send Purge UE message to HSS/HLR, carry IMSI International Mobile Subscriber Identity (International Mobile Subscriber Identity in this message, IMSI), be used to identify the identity that is eliminated the user.
It is invalid that step 102:HSS/HLR deletes the PDN GW address information of this UE or identifies this PDN GW address information.
Step 103:HSS/HLR is provided with UE Purged for E-UTRAN sign, and replys PurgeUE Ack message and give MME or SGSN.
After HSS/HLR removes the employed PDN GW of described UE address information, this UE promptly is in inaccessible state at this moment for HSS/HLR, because PDN GW is the anchor point of user's face, in the Session Time section of UE, remain unchanged, therefore when described PDN GW address information deleted or identify invalid after, if UE enters non-3GPP connecting system and when switching from the 3GPP connecting system non-3GPP connecting system, target authentication mandate in the non-3GPP connecting system and accounting server (AAA Server) need be inquired about the employed PDN GW of this UE address information to described HSS/HLR, and since described address information deleted or identify invalid, therefore HSS/HLR can't pass to described AAA Server with the PDN GW address information that this UE uses, cause the UE can't access network, thereby make the handoff failure of UE in non-3GPP connecting system.
Similarly, when UE switches when getting back to the 3GPP connecting system from non-3GPP connecting system, because of described address information deleted or identify invalid, this UE is identified as unreachable in HSS/HLR, HSS/HLR can't pass to the PDN GW address information that this UE uses target MME or the target SGSN in the 3GPP connecting system, cause the UE can't access network, can cause handoff failure equally.
Summary of the invention
The embodiment of the invention provides a kind of method of the PDN of reservation GW address information, can guarantee that UE can use business continuously when switching.
For achieving the above object, technical scheme of the present invention specifically is achieved in that
A kind of method of reserving packet data gateway PDN GW address information, this method comprises:
The removing user terminal requests message that user's subscribed services device sends according to the clear operation originating end, keep attachment removal the employed dynamic PDN GW of user terminal address information or keep the sign of described PDN GW address information effective;
Be provided with and remove sign and return removing user terminal acknowledge message to the clear operation originating end.
A kind of system of reserving packet data gateway PDN GW address information, this system comprises clear operation originating end and user's subscribed services device;
Described clear operation originating end sends and removes user terminal requests message to user's subscribed services device;
Described user's subscribed services device receives described request message, keep attachment removal the employed dynamic PDN GW of user terminal address information or keep the sign of described PDN GW address information effective; Be provided with and remove sign and send removing user terminal acknowledge message to described clear operation originating end.
As seen from the above technical solutions, the method and system of this reservation PDN GW address information of the embodiment of the invention, do not delete in the 3GPP connecting system by the UE of attachment removal employed PDN GW address information or be not invalid described PDN GW address information labelling, make UE in non-3GPP connecting system, switch or when switching back the 3GPP connecting system by non-3GPP connecting system, can continue access network according to the PDN GW address information that keeps, thereby guaranteed UE in the continuity of heterogeneous networks chien shih time spent, the present invention simultaneously realizes simply.
