Abstract
A dual mode mobile terminal (MT) (30) is capable of communicating (e.g., with a core network) either via a first radio access network (12) having a first type radio access technology (GSM) or a second radio access network (14) having a second type radio access technology (UTRAN). When conditions warrant, a network node (26) prepares a radio access technology (RAT) handover message (3-9) for transmission to the equipment unit (UE) in conjunction with handover of the mobile terminal (MT) from the first radio access network to the second radio access network, and an associated change of operation mode of the mobile terminal (MT) from the first mode to the second mode. In accordance with the present invention, a radio access technology handover message includes a first information element representative of a first parameter from which a value of a second parameter can be derived so that the second parameter need not be included as a separate information element in the radio access technology handover message. Not including the second parameter as a separate element in the radio access technology handover message facilitates non-segmentation of the radio access technology handover message. In one aspect of the invention, the radio access technology handover message is a RRC Handover to UTRAN message; the first parameter is a serving-radio network temporary identifier (S-RNTI 2); and, the second parameter is an information element which facilitates distribution of load and transmission of traffic in the radio access network (e.g., a default DPCH offset value).
Description
The application requires priority and the rights and interests of the U.S. Provisional Patent Application No.60/282486 that submits to April 10 calendar year 2001, here in conjunction with the full text of this application as a reference.
Technical field
The present invention relates to aerogram, and relate in particular to switching (handover) between the radio access technologies that is used for aerogram.
Background technology
Some portable terminals can use more than one type radio access technologies (RAT) to come to communicate with for example other portable terminal or one or more core network.Such portable terminal is in view of the ability of at least two kinds of radio access technologies types of its use (for example, at different time) and be called as " double mode " portable terminal.Use relevant radio access subsystem or network to implement every kind of radio access technologies type.Being exemplified as of two kinds of different radio access technologies: (1) is at the global system for mobile communications (GSM) and the third generation follow-on system thereof of European research and development; (2) global mobile communication (UMTS) terrestrial radio access network (UTRAN).UTRAN is essentially Wideband Code Division Multiple Access (WCDMA) (W-CDMA) system.
(RAT) (inter-radio access technology) switches the process that first radio access system that to be one of them portable terminal have first radio access technologies (such as GSM) from use is transformed into second radio access system with second radio access technologies (such as UTRA) between the radio access technologies.Begin to switch between the RAT when usually the quality that connects in the downlink radio of first radio access network drops to and is lower than a certain level.With the quality that the up link of first radio access network is connected may be more very different than downlink quality.
Between RAT in the handoff procedure, switching command message is sent to portable terminal, so that be provided at the details of the radio resource that (for example, when this portable terminal adopts second radio access technologies to communicate by letter with second radio access network) will be used after the switching for this portable terminal.For example, consider such a case, one of them portable terminal with it first radio access network of communication adopt gsm radio access technology (RAT), and wherein measurement result guarantees that this bimode mobile terminal is changed into and uses the UTRA radio access technologies.In this case, the base station controller by the gsm radio access network comprises one or more segmentations (each is segmented into 21 eight bit bytes) with finite length by the switching command message that the GSM air interface sends to mobile radio station.When the segmentation of 21 eight bit bytes is not enough to send when switching necessary radio resource information, this switching command message must be divided into to comprise a plurality of segmentations.But, after a segmentation that sends this switching command message, before confirming to receive the segmentation of front, can not transmit segmentation subsequently.
Connect from base station controller transmission switching command message to portable terminal by downlink radio.But when this switching command message was divided into segmentation, the successful transmission of this switching command message need connect the affirmation that transmits last segmentation by uplink radio before transmitting another segmentation.Therefore, if use section, can not promptly transmit this switching command message owing to uplink radio quality of connection difference.In other words, this switching command message is divided into plural GSM air-interface information and can produces significantly disadvantageous and unacceptable influence performance of handoffs.
Switching to from GSM under the situation of UTRAN, the GSM switching command message comprises RRCHandover to UTRAN (RRC switches to UTRAN) command messages.This RRC switches to the UTRAN command messages and is included in the details of switching the UTRA radio resource that will use afterwards in UTRAN.RRC switches to the UTRAN command messages and comprises that a large amount of these RRC that are stored in switch to parameter in the corresponding information unit of UTRAN command messages.The size that this RRC switches to the UTRAN command messages depends on the actual content of these parameters, and its length can be 100 to 200 eight bit bytes.When RRC switches to the UTRAN command messages is so big so that in the unsegmented GSM air-interface information of obviously can not packing into the time, this RRC switches to the UTRAN command messages must be by segmentation.
Utilize different technology to attempt to reduce the size of this switching command message, and therefore avoided the segmentation of this switching command message.First example technique is pre-configured (preconfiguration).Have the pre-configured of two kinds of fundamental types.First type pre-configured is predetermined configuration.In predetermined configuration, network can be prepared and download one or more radio configuration and give portable terminal.Such predefine radio configuration comprises a large amount of radio bearer parameters, transfer channel parameter and physical channel parameters.Before RAT switched, which configuration store UTRAN inquired about in this portable terminal.If this mobile terminal stores has suitable predetermined configuration, then UTRAN can consult the configuration of storage, and only needs to send some additional parameters that will use except the stored parameter that predetermined configuration is relevant therewith subsequently.
Second type pre-configured is the default parameters configuration.In this default parameters configuration, many parameters have the default value of stipulating in the standard such as RRC protocol specification TS 25.331.Can use this default parameters configuration in a similar manner, but because do not need to download this default parameters configuration, so easier use.
Second example technique that is used for reducing the length of switching command message is: from then on switching command message is omitted several initial less important parameters.But utilize this technology supposition: the corresponding function of these parameters need not be configured when switching immediately.
As the 3rd sample data, for some parameters that when use is pre-configured, transmit, can pre-determine the use of the smaller value scope of these parameters.In other words, carry out the portable terminal special use of switching between the RAT, reduce the size of some information unit in this switching command message by a subrange of these information unit parameter values is kept for.In the U.S. Patent Application Serial Number of submitting on January 17th, 2,000 09/483743 that is entitled as " Method and System For Improving ThePerformance of Inter-System Handovers ", provide the explanation of this 3rd technology, in conjunction with the full text of this U.S. Patent application as a reference here.Though performance is reduced slightly, and this 3rd technology helps further to reduce the size of switching command message.
Although adopted various technology to reduce the size of switching command message, this switching command message still can be near the restriction that brings owing to available space in the unsegmented GSM air-interface information.Unless define other mechanism, almost do not stay any space in the UTRAN command messages and comprise other parameter otherwise switch at RRC.
When using when pre-configured, need be included in the parameter that this RRC switches in the UTRAN command messages is the parameter with the information unit that is called " Default DPCH Offset Value (acquiescence DPCH deviant) ".It will be appreciated by one of skill in the art that: DPCH represents DPCH, this channel corresponding to extended code (for example, referring to 3GPP TS 25.211, v.3.2.0 " Physical Channels and Mapping of Transport Channels OntoPhysical Channels (FDD) (physical channel and physical channel are to the mapping (FDD) of transfer channel) " or 3GPP TS 25.221, v.3.2.0 " Physical Channels andMapping of Transport Channels Onto Physical Channels (TDD) (physical channel and physical channel are to the mapping (TDD) of transfer channel) ").Default DPCHOffset Value parameter be used for distributing the equably in time processing and the traffic load of different mobile terminal.The time interval of carrying out this distribution is 80 milliseconds, and this is corresponding to maximum transmission time interval (TTI).Default DPCH Offset Value parameter is added to this RRC switches to extra 10 bits (512 600 steps) of meeting introducing on the UTRAN command messages.As mentioned above, since the size that this RRC switches to the UTRAN command messages near the restriction of the GSM air-interface information of non-segmentation, so this is undesirable.
Therefore, needed and an object of the present invention is to provide a kind of technology, be used in conjunction with switching the additional parameter that transmits switching command message between the RAT and can not making described switching command message significantly elongated.

GSMSending the GSM switching command message to switch between the command execution RAT.Because in fact the GSM switching command message is included in the RRC of action 3-6 preparation and switches to the UTRAN command messages, so this GSM switching command message is included in the details of switching the UTRAN radio resource that will use afterwards.
As action 3-9, base station controller (BSC) 26
GSMTo send portable terminal (MT) 30 to by air interface in the GSM switching command message that action 3-8 receives.In view of technology of the present invention, advantageously, RRC of the present invention switch to the UTRAN command messages be placed on needn't by the GSM air interface by in the GSM switching command message of segmentation.Therefore, action 3-9 comprises that the GSM switching command message transfers to MT30 by the GSM air interface.The RRC that the switching command message of action 3-9 is included in action 3-6 generation switches to the UTRAN command messages.
The action 3-10 of changeover program represents to handle handoff functionality 100 between the portable terminal RAT of portable terminal (MT) 30 of switching command message between the RAT of Fig. 3.At 3GPP TS 25.331v3.7.0 (2001-06), third generation collaborative project; The technical specification group radio access network; Illustrated in the RRC protocol specification (1999 editions) that comprise among the 3-10 in action and that carried out by portable terminal each divides action, this paper in conjunction with the full text of RRC protocol specification (1999 editions) as a reference.Wherein such branch action is: be stored in some parameter that sends in the switching command message of action 3-9; Some variable of initialization, counter and timer; (according to pattern) intiating radio charge carrier and transfer channel configuration.
As the part of processing of action 3-10, derive or calculate the Default DPCH Offset Value that in UTRAN, uses by portable terminal (MT) 30 in the value of the S-RNTI 2 that handoff functionality 100 comprises between the portable terminal RAT from the switching command message of action 3-9.Shown in exemplary embodiment in, utilize expression formula 1 provided above from S-RNTI 2, to calculate Default DPCH Offset Value.
When radio access network 14 detected portable terminal 30, radio access network 14 knew that this portable terminal 30 exchanges or switch to second network (UTRAN network 14) from first network (GSM network 12).Correspondingly, at action 3-11, t-RNC will reorientate detect-message and send to core network 16.This indication can be used for beginning relating to the release of the resource of old network.
Switch in case complete successfully between the RAT, as action 3-12, portable terminal (MT) 30 also switches to UTRAN by air interface to the t-RNC transmission and finishes message.In response, at action 3-13, t-RNC sends to reorientate to core network 16 and finishes message.Finish message, the release that core network allows gsm radio to connect in case receive reorientating of 3-13 of action.The release utilization that gsm radio connects is sent to base station controller (BSC) 26 at action 3-14 from core network 16
GSMClear command realize, be from base station controller (BSC) 26 after this clear command at action 3-15
GSMMessage is finished in the removing that sends to core network 16.
Therefore, when condition guarantees, the network node of second radio access network is prepared radio access technologies (RAT) and is switched message, be used for when first radio access network switches to second radio access network, sending this portable terminal to, and be used for the corresponding change of operator scheme from first pattern to second pattern of portable terminal (MT) at portable terminal (MT).
As mentioned above, according to the present invention, in switching command message, do not comprise second parameter, and definition is used for determining according to first parameter that comprises in this switching command message the rules/algorithms of the value of second parameter (not being included in the switching command message as independent information unit).Shown in environment under, Default DPCH Offset Value relates to SRNTI 2 parameters, these SRNTI 2 parameters always are included in RRC and switch in the UTRAN command messages.
SRNTI 2 is suitable parameters, therefrom derives second parameter that does not comprise, this is because SRNTI 2 parameters are information units that do not have further behavior associated.That is to say that SRNTI 2 only is an identifier, its value generally can be by any assignment and can be not influential to the behavior of for example portable terminal or systematic function etc.Therefore, SRNTI is suitable for and second parameter (for example, Default DPCH Offset Value) coupling, and can distribute when considering load Distribution and without any side effect.
Solution of the present invention makes it might be by correspondingly distributing SRNTI 2 to distribute load equably from UTRAN, but, if by the sub-fraction of the portable terminal generation load of having switched from GSM, then when distributing SRNTI 2 parameters, UTRAN does not need to consider load Distribution.
Advantageously, the present invention makes it and might can not increase the size of switching command message (for example, RRC switches to the UTRAN command messages) for different portable terminals distributes load and transmission.Therefore, might in unsegmented GSM air interface, transmit switching command message of the present invention.Useful is that the result does not damage the performance of switching between the RAT.
The present invention can be applicable to the UTR-FDD and the UTRA-TDD pattern of the UTRAN standard of third generation collaborative project (3GPP) definition.
Though be considered in conjunction with current that most realistic present invention is described with preferred embodiment here, but should understand: the present invention is not limited to the disclosed embodiments, and on the contrary, the present invention plans to cover various modifications and the equivalent arrangements that comprises in the spirit and scope of appending claims.
