第三代移动通信标准组织 (3GPP )为了增强未来网络的竟争能力, 正在 研究一种全新的演进网络, 命名为***架构演进( SAE, System Architecture Evolution )***。如图 1所示,为现有 SAE***的架构框图,包括演进的 UMTS 陆地无线接入网( EUTRA , Evolved UMTS Terrestrial Radio Access Network ) 10, 用于实现所有与演进网络无线接入有关的功能; 移动性管理实体(MME, Mobility Management Entit ) 20, 负责控制面移动性管理, 包括对用户上下文 和移动状态的管理, 分配用户临时身份标识等; 服务***架构演进网关
( Serving SAE GW, Serving System Architecture Evolution Gateway ) 30, 是 3GPP接入***间的用户面锚点, 负责终止 ETURAN 10的接口; 分组数据网 络***架构演进网关( PDN SAE GW, Packet Data Network System Architecture Evolution Gateway ) 40, 是 3GPP接入***和非 3GPP接入***之间的用户面 锚点, 负责终止和外部分组数据网络(PDN, Packet Data Network )的接口; 策略和计费规则功能实体(PCRF, Policy and Charging Rule Function ) 50, 用 于处理策略控制和流计费控制; 归属用户服务器 (HSS, Home Subscriber Server ) 60, 用于存储用户的签约信息。
其中现有的 SAE***架构还处在不断的演进过程中,在 SAE***中定义 了三种用户状态: 分离状态 (LTE_DETACHED, 简称 Detached ), 指 UE未 接入 SAE ***时的状态; 空闲状态 (LTE— IDLE, 简称 Idle )和激活状态
( LTE— ACTIVE, 简称 Active ), 指 UE接入 SAE***后的状态; 其中当用户 处于 Idle状态时, 演进接入网侧没有为用户建立无线承载资源, 演进 NodeB
(简称 eNB )上也不存在用户的上下文, 核心网与接入网之间也不存在对应 的 S1接口信令连接; 当用户处于 Active状态时, 演进接入网侧为用户建立了 无线承载资源, eNB 上存在用户的上下文, 且核心网与接入网之间存在对应 的 S1接口信令连接,用户处在 Active状态下时能够进行正常的上下文数据处 理和信令消息交互。
如图 2所示, 为现有在 SAE***中用户在 Idle状态和 Active状态之间的 相互转换示意图, 当 S1 接口的信令连接被释放 C SI signaling connection released ) 时, 用户可以从 Active状态切换到 Idle状态; 当 S 1接口的信令连 接被建立 ( SI signaling connection established ) 时, 用户可以从 Idle状态切换 到 Active状态。 其中 S1接口的信令释放可以由核心网 (CN )发起, 比如用 户分离关机时, MME会通知 eNB释放用户的 S1接口信令连接; S1接口的信 令释放也可以由 eNB发起, 比如 eNB在监控和调度空口资源的使用过程中, 当探测不到用户的活动或者失去联系时, eNB会释放用户的 S 1接口信令连接。 此外,用户发起任何信令流程,包括附着(Attach )、跟踪区更新(TAU, Tracking Area Update )、 向 MME发起服务请求( Service Request )、 响应寻呼以及分离 等都会触发建立 S1接口的信令连接, 从而用户就会进入 Active状态, 直到下 次再释放 S1接口信令连接时, 用户才会重新回到 Idle状态。
如图 3所示,为现有在 SAE***中,用户通过发起 Service Request从 Idle 状态切换到 Active状态的处理流程图, 其中的处理过程为: UE发送业务请求 ( Service Request ) 消息给 MME (步骤 1 ); 如果 MME接受 UE发来的业务 请求, MME将回业务接受 (Service Accept ) 消息给 UE (步骤 2 ); 如果 UE 请求的业务类型为信令, 则 MME不发起无线接入承载的建立流程, 如果 UE 请求的业务类型为数据, 则 MME发送无线接入承载建立请求(Radio Access Bearer Assignment Request )消息给 eNB , 以请求 eNB发起无线接入承载的建 立流程(步骤 3 ); eNB发送无线承载建立 (Radio Bearer Setup ) 消息给 UE 以建立无线承载 (步骤 4 ); UE 回无线承载建立完成(Radio Bearer Setup Complete )消息给 eNB (步骤 5 ); eNB回无线接入承载建立响应( Radio Access Bearer Assignment Response ) 消息给 MME (步骤 6 ); MME发送修改承载上 下文请求( Update Bearer Context Request ) 消息给 Serving SAE Gateway (步 骤 7 ); Serving SAE Gateway回修改承载上下文响应 ( Update Bearer Context Response ) 消息给 MME (步骤 8 )。 通过该过程可以建立起 SI接口的信令连 接和无线承载, 因此可以使用户从 Idle状态切换到 Active状态。 上述过程是 由用户主动发起业务请求实现自身从 Idle状态切换到 Active状态的, 此外网 络侧也可以通过向用户下发寻呼, 以指示用户发起业务请求,从而实现从 Idle 状态切换到 Active状态。
由于用户处在 Idle状态下时, 演进接入网侧没有为用户建立无线承载资 源, 且接入网和核心网之间的 S1接口信令连接也是被释放的, 这样处于 Idle 状态下的用户要使用相关业务时, 要在从 Idle状态切换到 Active状态过程中 要求网络侧为其重建立相应的承载资源, 如重建立无线承载, 分配空口无线 资源等。承载一般分为保证比特率(GBR, Guaranteed Bit Rate )承载和非 GBR 承载, 其中对于 GBR承载而言, 需要网络侧分配专有的网络资源; 对于非 GBR承载而言, 不需要网络侧分配专有的网络资源, 包括缺省 SAE承载和信 令承载等。
目前, 用户在从 Idle状态切换到 Active状态时, 网络侧通常只重建用户 需要使用的承载资源,而不重建其它的承载资源,例如存在三个承载:承载 A, 缺省 SAE承载,信令承载,其中承载 A用于承载用户的视频业务。当处于 Idle 状态下的用户想使用视频业务时, UE将请求网络側为其重建立承载 A, 这样 网络侧只为用户重建立承载 A, 而对于缺省 SAE承载和信令承载而言, 将不 会重建立。 这样如果用户想继续使用 IMS业务, 将要再次发起业务请求流程 以请求网络侧为其重建立信令承载, 才能基于重建立的信令承载进行 IMS业 务流程的建立, 因此就会导致业务流程的建立时延增大。 发明内容

图 10为用户在附着过程中, SPR或 PCRF将预配置的策略信息发送至
MME保存的处理实施例示意图。 具体实施方式
在 SAE***中, 对于非 GBR承载在基于共享信道的方式下, 只有在实 际传输数据时才会占用空口资源, 所以即使在没有业务使用的情况下重建立 非 GBR承载也不会浪费网络传输资源。 基于该原理, 本发明实施例提出在用 户从 Idle状态切换到 Active状态过程中, 网络側可以一次性地为用户重建立 非 GBR承载, 这样用户在后续需要使用这些非 GBR承载建立业务流程时, 可以直接使用已经重建立好的非 GBR承载, 因此可以较好的提高业务启动速 度, 减少业务流程的建立时间, 增强用户的使用体验。 此外预先重建立的非 GBR承载在没有数据传输时也不会占用网络传输资源。
例如在用户从 Idle状态切换到 Active状态过程中, 网络侧一次性地为用 户重建立所有的非 GBR承载(包括缺省 SAE承载和信令承载等等), 这样 UE在后续进行 IMS业务时就可以直接通过已经重建立的信令承载来进行 IMS 会话流程的建立, 而不再需要通过 Service Request流程来重建立信令承载后, 再进行 IMS会话流程的建立, 这样就可以减小 IMS会话流程建立的时延。
如图 4所示, 为本发明实现承载重建立方法的实施例流程图, 其中在用 户由 Idle状态切换到 Active状态过程中, 核心网根据预先配置的承载重建立 策略指示接入网建立对应的接入侧承载(步骤 100 ); 接入网按照核心网的指 示建立对应的接入侧承载(步骤 200 )。 如果预先没有为用户配置对应的承载 重建立策略, 在用户由 Idle状态切换到 Active状态过程中, 核心网可以默认 为所有的非 GBR承载都需要重建立, 则指示接入网重建立所有的非 GBR接 入侧承载; 接入网按照核心网的指示建立所有的非 GBR接入侧承载。 其中接 入侧承载的建立过程包括 UE到 eNB之间的无线承载建立 , 和 eNB到用户面 实体(如 Serving SAE Gateway )之间的无线接入承载建立。
为方便描述, 将重建立的承载资源分为非 GBR承载和 GBR承载两种情 况来对本发明实施例进行阐述, 下面首先基于重建立非 GBR承载资源的情况 来描述。
第一种方式: 用户从 Idle状态切换到 Active状态时, UE在与核心网交互 的消息中携带非 GBR承载重建立策略,要求核心网为其重建立非 GBR承载。
如图 5所示, 为实现为用户重建立非 GBR承载的第一实施例处理过程示 意图, 其中具体实施过程如下:
步驟 11. UE发送 Service Request消息给 MME, 该请求消息中携带有非 GBR承载重建立策略,其中非 GBR承载重建立策略可以但不限于包括如下几 种情况:
1 )重建立缺省 SAE承载;
2 )重建立所有非 GBR承载; 3 )重建立附着时预建立的非 GBR承载(如缺省 SAE承载、信令承载等)。
UE在向 MME发送的 Service Request消息中携带非 GBR承载重建立策 略可以但不限于通过如下方式来实现:
对 Service Request消息进行扩展, 以在其中增力口一个 Non-GBR Status信 元,用于携带 UE配置的非 GBR承载重建立策略。如下表 1所示,为对 Service Request消息进行扩展的一个实施例(该实施例中只描述与本发明实施例相关 的信元, 其它信元这里不予描述):
表 1: 扩展后 Service Request消息的内容
Figure imgf000009_0001
表 2: 为 Non-GBR status信元的具体内容
5 4
Non-GBR status I£I octet 1
Length of Non-GBR status octet 2
Non-GBR status Value octet 3 表 3: 为 Non-GBR status Value
Non-GBR status Value
0 establish Default SAE Bearer
1 establish all non-GBR Bearers
2 establish pre-non-GBR Bearers
UE在 Service Request消息的 Uplink data status信元中携带配置的非 GBR 承载重建立策略, 如 UE将缺省 SAE承载的状态设置为激活态(状态设置为 激活态表明这个承载需要重建立), 或将所有非 GBR承载的状态设置为激活 态(包括将缺省 SAE承载设置为激活态), 或者将附着时预建立的非 GBR承 载(如缺省 SAE承载、 信令承载等)状态设置为激活态。
基于上述表中内容所示, 例如扩 的 Service Request消息中 Non-GBR status信元承载的 Non-GBR status Value为 0时,代表非 GBR承载重建立策略 为重建立缺省 SAE承载, 为 1时代表非 GBR承载重建立策略为重建立所有 非 GBR承载, 为 2时代表非 GBR承载重建立策略为重建立附着时预建立的 非 GBR承载。
步骤 12. 如果 MME接受业务请求, 则回复业务接受消息给 UE。
步骤 13. MME分析 UE发来的业务请求消息中携带的非 GBR承载重建立 策略, 确定需要重建立哪些非 GBR承载, 然后发送无线接入承载建立请求消 息给 eNB, 其中发送的无线接入承载建立请求消息中包括 MME分析确定的 要重建立的非 GBR承载。如果 UE发来的 Service Request消息中未携带非 GBR 承载重建立策略, 则 MME默认为所有的非 GBR承载都需要重建立, 则在发 送给 eNB的无线接入承载建立请求消息中携带重建立所有非 GBR承载的信 息。
步骤 14. eNB根据接收的无线接入承载建立请求消息中包括的要重建立 的非 GBR承载, 发送无线承载建立消息给 UE, 以指示 UE建立对应的无线 承载;
步骤 15. UE建立完成相应的无线承载后, 回复无线承载建立完成消息给 eNB»
步骤 16. eNB回复无线接入承载建立响应消息给 MME。
步骤 17. MME发送修改承栽上下文请求消息给 Serving SAE Gateway。 步骤 18. Serving SAE Gateway回复修改承载上下文响应消息给 MME。 上述第一实施例的处理过程是由用户主动发起业务请求实现自身从 Idle 状态切换到 Active状态的, 此外网络侧也可以通过向用户下发寻呼业务, 以 指示用户向网络侧发起业务请求, 从而实现从 Idle状态切换到 Active状态, 这样在步骤 11前面还要执行虚线框内处理: Serving SAE Gateway收到下发给 处于 Idle状态下的用户的下行数据包; Serving SAE Gateway发送寻呼消息到 MME触发寻呼流程; MME发送寻呼消息到 eNB; eNB发送寻呼消息到 UE, 然后 UE接收到寻呼消息后再向 MME发送 Service Request消息。下面各个以 Service Request为实施例的处理流程图中同样可以由网络侧触发 UE进行状态 切换, 由于原理类似, 下面将不再重复描述。 上述第一种方式不局限于 Service Request处理流程中, 用户从 Idle状态 切换到 Active状态时的其他流程, 比如在 TAU处理流程中网络侧也可以才艮据 UE发送的指示为 UE重建立非 GBR承载。
如图 6所示, 为实现为用户重建立非 GBR承载的第二实施例处理过程示 意图, 其中具体实施过程如下:
步骤 31. UE发送跟踪区更新请求(TAU Request ) 消息给 MME, 该请求 消息中携带 UE配置的非 GBR承载重建立策略, 其中非 GBR承载重建立策 略可能包括的类型参照上述第一实施例中的介绍。
UE在向 MME发送的 TAU Request消息中携带非 GBR承载重建立策略 可以但不限于通过如下方式来实现:
对 TAU Request消息进行扩展,以在其中增加一个 Non-GBR Status信元, 用于携带 UE配置的非 GBR承载重建立策略。如下表 4所示,为对 TAU Request 消息进行扩展的一个实施例(该实施例中只描述与本发明实施例相关的信元, 其它信元这里不予描述):
表 4: 扩展后 TAU Request消息的内容
Figure imgf000011_0001
有关 Non-GBR status信元的具体内容和 Non-GBR status Value请具体参见 上述第一实施例中的表 2和表 3。
UE在 TAU Request消息的 Uplink data status信元中携带配置的非 GBR承 载重建立策略, 如 UE将缺省 SAE承载的状态设置为激活态(状态设置为激 活态表明需要重建立这个承载), 或将所有非 GBR承载的状态设置为激活态 (包括将缺省 SAE承载设置为激活态), 或者将附着时预建立的非 GBR承载 (如缺省 SAE承载、 信令承载等)状态设置为激活态。
步骤 32. 如果 MME接受跟踪区更新请求,则回复跟踪区更新接受消息给 UE。
步骤 33. MME分析 UE发来的 TAU请求消息中携带的非 GBR承载重建 立策略,确定需要重建立哪些非 GBR承载。如果 UE发来的 TAU请求消息中 未携带非 GBR承载重建立策略, 则 MME默认为所有的非 GBR承载都需要 重建立。其中有关非 GBR承载的重建立过程同上述第一实施例中的步骤 13 ~ 18, 这里不再给以过多赘述。
第二种方式: 用户从 Idle状态切换到 Active状态时, 是否为用户重建立 非 GBR承载以及重建立哪些非 GBR承载的策略由运营商预先配置在 MME 上。
如图 7所示, 为实现为用户重建立非 GBR承载的第三实施例处理过程示 意图, 其中具体实施过程如下:
步骤 41. UE发送 Service Request消息给 MME。
步骤 42. 如果 MME接受业务请求, 则回复业务接受消息给 UE。
步骤 43. MME根据运营商在自身中为用户配置的非 GBR承载重建立策 略, 确定需要重建立哪些非 GBR承载。 其中非 GBR承载重建立策略可能包 括的类型参照上述第一实施例中的介绍。如果运营商未在 MME上配置非 GBR 承载重建立策略, 则 MME默认为所有的非 GBR承载都需要重建立。 其中有 关非 GBR承载的重建立过程同上述第一实施例中的步骤 13 ~ 18,这里不再给 以过多赘述。
上述第二种方式不局限于 Service Request处理流程中, 用户从 Idle状态 切换到 Active状态时的其他流程, 比如在 TAU处理流程中网络側也可以根据 运营商在 MME上配置的策略为 UE重建立非 GBR承载。
如图 8所示, 为实现为用户重建立非 GBR承载的第四实施例处理过程示 意图, 其中具体实施过程如下:
步骤 51. UE发送跟踪区更新请求消息给 MME。
步骤 52. 如果 MME接受跟踪区更新请求,则回复跟踪区更新接受消息给
UE„ 步 53. MME根据运营商在自身中为用户配置的非 GBR承载重建立策 略, 确定需要重建立哪些非 GBR承载。 其中非 GBR承载重建立策略可能包 括的类型参照上述第一实施例中的介绍。如果运营商未在 MME上配置非 GBR 承载重建立策略, 则 MME默认为所有的非 GBR承载都需要重建立。 其中有 关非 GBR承载的重建立过程同上述第一实施例中的步骤 13 ~ 18,这里不再给 以过多赘述。
第三种方式: 用户从 Idle状态切换到 Active状态时, 是否为用户重建立 非 GBR承载以及重建立哪些非 GBR承载的策略由用户 HSS中保存的签约数 据决定。 用户在附着过程中, 由 HSS将该用户的签约信息发送至 MME保存。 后续 MME接收到 UE发来的 service request请求消息后, 根据保存的用户签 约信息来决定是否为用户重建立非 GBR承载以及重建立哪些非 GBR承载。
如图 9所示, 为用户在附着过程中, HSS将用户的签约信息发送至 MME 保存的处理实施例示意图, 其中具体的处理过程如下:
步骤 61. UE发送附着请求( Attach request )消息给 MME,请求附着处理。 步骤 62. MME发送位置更新 ( Update Location ) 消息到 HSS。
步骤 63. HSS发送***签约数据 ( Insert Subscriber Data )消息到 MME, 其中该发送的***签约数据中包括为用户 UE配置的非 GBR承载重建立策略, 其中非 GBR承载重建立策略可能包括的类型参照上述第一实施例中的介绍。
步骤 64. MME回复***签约数据确认( Insert Subscriber Data Ack ) 消息 给 HSS。
步骤 65. HSS发送位置更新确认( Update Location Ack ) 消息给 MME。 步骤 66. MME保存***签约数据中包括的非 GBR承载重建立策略, 并 回复附着接受 (Attach Accept ) 消息给 UE。
后续 MME在接收到 UE发来的 Service Request消息后,如果接受该业务 请求, 则回复业务接受消息给 UE, 并根据保存的非 GBR承载重建立策略, 确定需要重建立哪些非 GBR承载。如果 HSS发来的***签约数据中不包括为 用户 UE配置的非 GBR承载重建立策略,则 MME默认为所有的非 承载 都需要重建立。 其中有关非 GBR承载的重建立过程同上述第一实施例中的步 骤 13 ~ 18, 这里不再给以过多赘述。
同理, 后续 MME在接收到 UE发来的 TAU Request消息后, 如果接受该 跟踪区更新请求, 则回复跟踪区更新接受消息给 UE, 并根据保存的非 GBR 承载重建立策略, 确定需要重建立哪些非 GBR承载。
第四种方式: 用户从 Idle状态切换到 Active状态时, 是否为用户重建立 非 GBR承载以及重建立哪些非 GBR承载的策略由运营商预先配置在 PCRF 中, 或预先配置在策略和计费执行功能实体(PCEF, Policy and Charging Enforcement Function ) 中, 还可以预先配置在用户策略签约数据库( SPR, Subscription Profile Repository ) 中。 用户在附着过程中, 由 PCRF、 或 PCEF、 或 SPR将预配置的策略发送至 MME保存。后续 MME接收到 UE发来的 service request请求消息后, 根据保存的用户签约信息来决定是否为用户重建立非 GBR承载以及重建立哪些非 GBR承载。
如图 10所示, 为用户在附着过程中, SPR或 PCRF将预配置的策略信息 发送至 MME保存的处理实施例示意图, 其具体的处理过程如下:
步骤 71. UE发送附着请求( Attach Request ) 消息到 MME。
步骤 72. MME发送创建承载上下文请求( Create Bearer Context Request ) 消息到 Serving SAE Gateway, 以请求 Serving SAE Gatewa 创建 SAE承载。
步骤 73. Serving SAE Gateway发送创建承载上下文请求(Create Bearer Context Request ) 消息到 PDN SAE Gateway, 以请求 PDN SAE Gateway创建 SAE承载。
步骤 74. PDN SAE Gateway发送请求策略和计费规则( Request Policy and Charging Rules ) 消息到 PCRF。
如果 PCRF中存在预先为用户配置的非 GBR承载重建立策略, 则在后续 步骤 77中, 将预配置的策略通过策略和计费规则供应 ( Policy and Charging Rules Provision )消息返回给 PDN SAE Gateway; 如果 PCRF中不存在用户的 签约数据, 则在步骤 75中, PCRF发送签约数据请求(Profile Request ) 消息 到 SPR, 其中 SPR中存储有 PCRF需要使用的策略和计费相关的签约数据, 进而获取用户的签约数据。
步骤 76. SPR返回签约数据响应 ( Profile Response ) 消息给 PCRF, 其中 携带用户的签约数据, 用户的签约数据中可以包括运营商为用户预先配置的 非 GBR承载重建立策略。
步骤 77. PCRF 回策略和计费规则供应 (Policy and Charging Rules Provision )消息到 PDN SAE Gateway, 该回复消息中携带用户的非 GBR承载 重建立策略。 其中有关非 GBR承载的重建立过程同上述第一实施例中的步骤 13 ~ 18, 这里不再给以过多赘述。
即非 GBR承载重建立策略可以预先在 PCRF中配置, 也可以预先在 SPR 中配置, 在签约数据响应消息中由 SPR携带给 PCRF。
步骤 78. PDN SAE Gateway 回复创建承载上下文响应 (Create Bearer Context Response ) 消息给 Serving SAE Gateway, 该回复消息中携带 UE的非 GBR承载重建立策略。 当然非 GBR承载重建立策略也可以在 PDN SAE Gateway 中给予配置, 由 PDN SAE Gateway 通过 Create Bearer Context Response消息携带给 Serving SAE Gateway。
步骤 79. Serving SAE Gateway回复创建承载上下文响应 (Create Bearer Context Response ) 消息给 MME, 消回复消息中携带 UE的非 GBR承载重建 立策略。
步骤 80. MME保存接收到的 Create Bearer Context Response消息中包含 的非 GBR承载重建立策略, 并发起无线承载建立处理过程, 以建立 SAE承 载对应的无线接入承载。 这部分处理过程为公知技术, 这里不再做详细阐述。
步骤 81. MME回复附着接受( AttachAccept ) 消息到 UE。
其中在本实施例中, 承载创建处理过程 (步骤 2 ~ 10 )与用户的附着处理 过程没有肘序的先后关系,承载创建处理过程可以在附着处理过程中完成(如 创建缺省 SAE承载),也可以在附着完成后再进行承载创建处理(如建立信令 承载 )。 后续 MME在接收到 UE发来的请求消息后 (包括 Service Request消息或 TAU Request消息), 如果接受该业务请求或跟踪区更新请求, 则回复业务接 受消息或跟踪区更新接受消息给 UE,并根据保存的非 GBR承载重建立策略, 确定需要重建立哪些非 GBR承载。 其中有关非 GBR承载的重建立过程同上 述第一实施例中的步骤 13 ~ 18, 这里不再给以过多赘述。
对于非 GBR承载的重建立原理也可以应用到 GBR承载的重建立, 如对 于视频终端而言, 这些终端一般具有信令承载和一个 GBR承载, 信令承载用 来进行视频业务会话建立流程, GBR承载用来传输视频业务流。用户处在 Idle 状态时信令承载和 GBR承载都将被释放。 对于这样的终端, 进行视频业务会 话建立的同时就存在视频业务流的处理, 所以对于这样的终端, 可以配置重 建立所有承载的策略。 这样终端从 Idle状态切换到 Active状态时, 按照预先 配置的承载重建立策略, 网络侧将为用户重建立信令承载和 GBR承载, 用户 在信令承载上完成视频业务会话建立流程后, 就可以在重建立的 GBR承载上 进行视频业务流的处理, 这样也可以加快视频业务的接入, 增强用户使用体 验。 .
上述在 SAE通信***中, 根据承载重建立策略来决定重建立哪些承载的 方案也可以应用到通用分组无线业务 ( GPRS, General Packet Radio Service ) ***中, 例如在 UE从 Idle状态切换到 Active状态过程中, 服务 GPRS支持 节点(SGSN, Serving GPRS Supporting Node )可以根据为用户预设的承载重 建立策略, 来为 UE重建立对应的无线接入承载。
基于上述方法实施原理, 本发明实施例还提出一种演进网络中的移动性 管理设备(如 SAE***中的 MME, 或 GPRS***中的 SGSN等), 其中包括 用于获得预先配置的承载重建立策略的单元, 和用于根据预先配置的承载重 建立策略指示接入网建立对应接入侧承载的单元。 MME上还可以进而包括存 储有预先配置的承载重建立策略的单元,这样 MME可以根据本身存储的策略 确定重建立哪些承载资源; 或者用于获得策略的单元还可以通过接收外界网 元设备发来的预先配置的承载重建立策略来实现获得对应的承载重建立策 略。
对应的提出一种演进网络中的网元设备, 包括用于存储预先配置的承载 重建立策略的单元; 和用于将存储的承载重建立策略通知给核心网中 MME 的单元。其中这里的网元设备可以为 UE,也可以为核心网中的 HSS、或 PCRF、 或 PCEF, 或 SPR等。
基于上述方法实施原理, 本发明实施例还提出了第二种演进网络中的移 动性管理设备, 包括用于在用户由 Idle状态切换到 Active状态过程中, 指示 接入网建立所有的非 GBR接入侧承载的单元, 这个移动性管理设备用在没有 预先为用户配置承载重建立策略的情况下, 移动性管理设备(如 MME )在用 户由 Idle状态切换到 Active状态过程中, 会默认为用户重建立所有的非 GBR 承载资源。 同理这个移动性管理设备也可以但不限于为 SAE***中的 MME, 或 GPRS***中的 SGSN。
上述移动性管理设备和相关网元设备中包含的功能组成部分可以由相应 的软件程序来实现, 也可以基于对相关硬件组件进行升级改进来实现。
综上所述, 本发明实施例在用户从 Idle状态切换到 Active状态过程中, 网络侧可以根据预先配置的承载重建立策略为用户重建立相应的承载资源, 因此可以实现一次性地为用户重建立非 GBR承载, 这样用户在后续需要使用 这些非 GBR承载建立业务流程时, 可以直接使用已经重建立好的非 GBR承 载, 因此可以较好的提高业务启动速度, 减少业务流程的建立时间。 此外预 先重建立的非 GBR承载在没有数据传输时也不会占用网络传输资源。对于根 据预先配置的承载重建立策略为用户预先建立 GBR承载资源的情况也可以进 而提高业务的启动速度。 发明的精神和范围。 这样, 倘若本发明的这些修改和变型属于本发明权利要 求及其等同技术的范围之内, 则本发明也意图包含这些改动和变型在内。
