Description
Technical field
The present invention relates to cordless communication network, particularly the handoff testing method of S1 interface, system and eNB.
Background technology
At LTE (Long Term Evolution; Long Term Evolution) in the network; Need need two eNB systems at least to the test of switching flow on the S1 interface between eNB (Evolved Node B, evolved base station) and mobility management unit MME (Mobility Management Entity).Wherein, one as the eNB that switch to initiate, i.e. source eNB, and another is as the purpose eNB of handoff procedure, i.e. target eNB.
In realizing process of the present invention, the inventor finds that there is following problem at least in prior art:
Under some environment, through two eNB, carry out the test of S1 switching flow, very poor efficiency and cost are higher.For example, environment is opened at the scene of some construction, and the distance between eNB is far, and the tester need test respectively on two eNB.Again such as, under some environment, have only an eNB, this moment can't realize test to the S1 handoff functionality of eNB, thereby can't confirm the S1 handoff functionality of eNB.
In addition, in order to test eNB as the function of source eNB with as the function of target eNB, need carry out twice test, promptly eNB is as source eNB and target eNB, and test once respectively.This does not also comprise the consideration to unusual scrnario testing.Testing efficiency is low, influences product delivery time or engineering delivery time.
Summary of the invention
In order to reduce testing cost and to improve testing efficiency, the embodiment of the invention provides a kind of handoff testing method.Said technical scheme is following: this method comprises: source eNB and purpose eNB are set to same eNB; Carry out S1 interface switch test between said eNB and the mobility management unit MME.
Further embodiment of this invention provides a kind of switch test system; This system comprises source eNB, purpose eNB and mobility management unit MME; Said source eNB and purpose eNB are same eNB, carry out S1 interface switch test between said eNB and the mobility management unit MME.
Further embodiment of this invention provides a kind of eNB that is used for switch test, and said eNB comprises: the request message transmitting element, be used for sending handoff request message to MME, and the target eNB sign in the said handoff request message is identical with source eNB sign; The purpose switch unit is used for the switching invitation message according to the MME transmission, accomplishes the switching of said purpose eNB and prepares, and send the affirmation message of receiving that switching is invited to said MME; The source switch unit is used for the switching command message according to the MME transmission, accomplishes the handoff procedure of source eNB.
The beneficial effect that the technical scheme that the embodiment of the invention provides is brought is: proposed a kind of S1 interface switching flow method of testing and system based on single eNB, only with an eNB, just can accomplish the switching flow test of S1 interface.Not only reduced testing cost, and, testing efficiency improved.Through a flow testing, just can accomplish the source eNB function of eNB system and the test of target eNB function, testing efficiency is doubled.
