The explanation of preferred embodiment
Below in conjunction with description of drawings the preferred embodiments of the present invention.In the following description, in different accompanying drawings with identical referenced drawings numeral similar elements.Content that defines in specification such as detailed construction and circuit element all are in order to help thorough of the present invention.Therefore, obviously the present invention can realize without those defined contents.In addition, known structure or function are just no longer described in detail, blured because of unnecessary details because can make essence of the present invention like this.
Fig. 2 is the more detailed block diagram of explanation according to the RNC of the preferred embodiment of the present invention in mobile communication system.Reference number among Fig. 1 will use the reference number among Fig. 1 when following explanation detailed content of the present invention.
The method that sends the beep-page message that receives from core network (CN) in system according to the present invention in a narrow sense realizes among RNC, and this method is in a broad sense in comprising the UTRAN of BSM, realizes in a plurality of base stations and among the RNC.
Main design of the present invention is the method that sends beep-page message in certain equipment, rather than realizes being used to sending the equipment of the method for above-mentioned beep-page message.
With reference to figure 2, RNC 21 is as a part that is provided in the UTRAN 1 in the mobile communication system, and this system comprises core network (CN) 3, UTRAN 1 and travelling carriage 5.UTRAN 1 comprises two RNC 7 and 9, a plurality of base stations 13 to 16 that are connected with 9 with RNC 7, and with the BSM11 that RNC 7 is connected with 9, be used to provide such as the information of PLD and show from the message of RNC and the information of other various information.In this respect, be by the RNC 21 that moves as major part of the present invention according to the method for transmission beep-page message of the present invention and be used to provide desired information to embody as the BSM that replys 11 to RNC 21 requests.Will describe in detail RNC 21, but concise and to the point introduction will only be done in the explanation of BSM 11 in needs.
RNC 21 comprises RANAP layer 23, is used for the 3 paging receiving message from CN; And rrc layer 25, be used for confirming according to the IMSI of beep-page message whether corresponding paging group information exists, according to result's search information in the paging group table of confirming, after passing by at the fixed time, extract the IMSI that is preserved and/or upgrade according to the paging group in the paging group database 29, and to sending information and the beep-page message that extracts with corresponding each travelling carriage 5 of IMSI.
Particularly, RNC 21 can receive from the beep-page message as the CN 3 of higher level with RANAP.Here, the RANAP that moves at RANAP layer 23 is used to the communication between CN 3 and RNC 21.Certainly, RNC 21 also relates to and is used for the RNSAP agreement of communicating by letter with other RNC and is used for NBAP agreement with base station communication, and other agreement will be in this detailed description, because they do not belong to scope of the present invention to a certain extent.Incidentally, the beep-page message that receives by RANAP can be by rrc layer 25 controls, so that send it to each travelling carriage 5.
When beep-page message was forwarded to RANAP layer 23, rrc layer 25 extracted IMSI according to the result who analyzes the beep-page message content.In addition, rrc layer 25 inquiry paging group tables 27 are to confirm whether to exist this IMSI in this table.If exist in table 27 with the corresponding IMSI of this IMSI, rrc layer 25 can upgrade paging group database 2 by using paging group information.With reference to figure 3, table 27 comprises IMSI field 31 and paging group field 33, and the special number of each travelling carriage is stored in the IMSI field 31, and is stored in the paging group field 33 corresponding to the paging group information of each special number.In this case, determine paging group information so that easily control and/or manage beep-page message in the paging group database 29, and can be classified as group by its type and/or purpose.
As shown in Figure 4, paging group database 29 is formed the database that is used for by group management beep-page message, and paging group database 29 can be updated to desired IMSI and beep-page message by group.
Therefore, if table 27 has and is included in a IMSI who equates from the beep-page message that CN 3 receives, just can from database 29, find out with table 27 in the corresponding paging group information of IMSI represented, and IMSI and beep-page message can be stored in the database 29.
On the other hand, if table 27 do not have be included in the beep-page message that from CN3, receives in the identical IMSI of IMSI, then rrc layer 25 indication BSM 11 obtain information relevant with IMSI and paging group, and the information that is received can be stored in paging group table 25 or be used to upgrade paging group table 25.
No matter when receive message from CN 3, rrc layer 25 determines whether to exist this IMSI, then by the beep-page message of organizing in the new database 29 more.
Rrc layer 25 can be pressed group acknowledge/identification database 29 termly, extracts the IMSI in the group that is included in the certain limit renewal, and the information of being extracted is sent to each travelling carriage 5 with beep-page message.
Below, will explain the method that in mobile communication system, sends beep-page message according to of the present invention with reference to figure 5.
At first, under the situation of CN paging receiving message (step 51), the beep-page message that the rrc layer analysis is received, extracting corresponding IMSI, and whether inquiry paging group table exists (step 53) with identification IMSI.Here, can paging receiving message by the use RANAP.And the IMSI and/or the information of organizing accordingly are stored and are based upon in the table.Corresponding group information is the beep-page message that the purpose according to the type of beep-page message or beep-page message is classified.
Result as above-mentioned affirmation operation, if in table, there is this IMSI, then rrc layer is according to corresponding to this IMSI and definite paging group information, stores in the paging group that is converted into database format in database 29 or upgrades IMSI and beep-page message (step 57).At this moment, IMSI and the paging group information that is included in the table can be by default and storage when starting RNC.
On the other hand, if do not have this IMSI in the table, then rrc layer 25 indication BSM 11 to be obtaining information relevant with this IMSA and paging group, and the information that is received is stored in the paging group database.
Certainly, when the IMSI that receives from BSM is identical with the IMSI that comprises the beep-page message that receives from CN, just direct execution in step 57.
By step 51,53,55 and 57, no matter when when CN received beep-page message, beep-page message can be updated in the paging group database.
Each group in the paging group database is confirmed/be identified in to rrc layer termly, and if message count more than predetermined number, then extract each beep-page message (step 59) that is included in the respective sets.In this case, IMSI can be extracted simultaneously with beep-page message.When the message of being extracted was sent to each travelling carriage, the IMSI of this extraction can be the unique number that is used to discern each travelling carriage.Rrc layer can be from table will with the corresponding IMSI zero clearing of IMSI of transmitting beep-page message.
As mentioned above, the method that is used to send beep-page message in mobile communication system according to the present invention allows beep-page message to be transferred to desired travelling carriage in groups according to its type and purpose.As a result, do not need at every turn when carrying out paging the paging table in the number of IMSI search for, thereby can prevent that the load that is caused by search delay from increasing, thus user's paging receiving message apace.
Although describe the present invention with reference to certain embodiments, should be appreciated that those skilled in the art can carry out on the various forms therein and details on variation, and can not break away from the spirit and scope of the invention that is defined by the following claims.
