The invention name is "cross-network handover method and system and access network equipment". Priority of the Chinese Patent Application, the entire contents of which is incorporated herein by reference. Technical field
本发明实施例涉及无线通信技术, 特别是涉及一种跨网切换方法和*** 及接入网设备。 背景技术  The embodiments of the present invention relate to a wireless communication technology, and in particular, to an inter-network handover method and system, and an access network device. Background technique
不同标准化组织制定的网络之间的网络互通问题, 例如: 3GPP标准化组 织制定的网络与非 3GPP标准化组织制定的网络之间的网络互通问题,是当前 标准化组织讨论的一个热点话题,其中备受关注的是 3GPP演进网络无线接入 网长期演进 ( Long Term Evo lut ion, 以下简称 LTE ) 项目与 3GPP2中演进的 高速率分组数据(Evo lved H i gh Ra te Packet Da ta , 以下简称 eHRPD )之间 的网络互通。  Network interworking between networks developed by different standardization organizations, for example: Network interworking between networks developed by 3GPP standardization organizations and networks established by non-3GPP standardization organizations is a hot topic in current standards organization discussions, which has received much attention. The 3GPP evolved network radio access network Long Term Evolution (LTE) project and the evolved high rate packet data (Evo lved H i gh Ra te Packet Da ta, hereinafter referred to as eHRPD) Network interoperability.
多模终端功能上支持在多个网络间进行跨网切换。 假设支持 LTE/eHRPD 网络的双模终端是单发双收的双模终端。 当单发双收的双模终端在一个网络 上收发数据时, 它不可能同时在另一个网络上执行注册、 鉴权或者会话协商 的工作, 使得终端进行跨网切换时, 须先进行终端注册、 鉴权或者会话协商 等工作。 这些过程通常需要几秒, 造成数据传输中断, 极大地影响了实时业 务(如: Vo IP语音业务等)在跨网切换过程中的业务质量。 为了降低实时业 务在跨网切换过程中的延时, 可在终端仍然还位于源网络侧时, 通过源网络 资源以及源网络与目标网络的接口, 进行终端在目标网络的 "预注册" ; 即 当终端仍位于源网络侧时 , 一边收发数据 , 一边通过源网络和目标网络之间 的接口执行在目标网络的注册、 鉴权或者会话协商等工作。 这样在终端真正 进行跨网切换的时候, 终端可以立即开始在目标网络收发数据, 因此缩短了 由于跨网切换而导致业务中断的时间。 Multimode terminals support cross-network switching between multiple networks. Assume that the dual-mode terminal supporting the LTE/eHRPD network is a dual-mode terminal with single-shot and dual-receiver. When a single-mode dual-received dual-mode terminal transmits and receives data on one network, it is impossible to perform registration, authentication, or session negotiation on another network at the same time, so that when the terminal performs cross-network handover, terminal registration must be performed first. , authentication or conversational negotiation. These processes usually take a few seconds, causing data transmission interruption, which greatly affects the quality of service of real-time services (such as Vo IP voice services) during inter-network handover. In order to reduce the delay of the real-time service in the inter-network handover process, the terminal may be pre-registered in the target network through the source network resource and the interface between the source network and the target network when the terminal is still located at the source network side; When the terminal is still located on the source network side, while transmitting and receiving data, the registration, authentication, or session negotiation of the target network is performed through the interface between the source network and the target network. In this way, when the terminal actually performs the cross-network handover, the terminal can immediately start to send and receive data on the target network, thereby shortening the time for the service interruption due to the cross-network handover.
终端从 LTE网络切换到 eHRPD网络的切换过程包括 "预注册" 过程和切 换执行过程。 终端在 LTE网络首先进行 eHRPD网络的 "预注册" 。 在预注册 区域的每个 LTE 网络基站(Evo lved Node B, 以下简称 eNB )上都配有一个 eHRPD网络的扇区标识信息( Sec tor lD ); 该扇区标识信息是静态配置在 eNB 上的。 当终端进行切换执行流程时, 即当终端真正发起从 LTE 网络到 eHRPD 网络的切换操作时, 位于 LTE网络侧的终端将切换信息发送给与静态配置在 eNB 的扇区标识信息相应的目标网络侧基站(以下称为端点接入网设备) , 由端点接入网设备为终端分配 eHRPD无线资源信息。  The handover process of the terminal from the LTE network to the eHRPD network includes a "pre-registration" process and a handover execution process. The terminal first performs "pre-registration" of the eHRPD network on the LTE network. Each LTE network base station (Evo lved Node B, hereinafter referred to as eNB) in the pre-registration area is provided with sector identification information (Sec tor lD) of the eHRPD network; the sector identification information is statically configured on the eNB. . When the terminal performs the handover execution process, that is, when the terminal actually initiates the handover operation from the LTE network to the eHRPD network, the terminal located on the LTE network side sends the handover information to the target network side corresponding to the sector identification information statically configured in the eNB. The base station (hereinafter referred to as an endpoint access network device) allocates eHRPD radio resource information to the terminal by the endpoint access network device.
发明人在实现本发明实施例过程中发现, 如果 eHRPD端点接入网设备不 是目标接入网设备, 终端从源网络( LTE )到目标网络( eHRPD )的切换失败, 因此, 现有技术终端跨网切换成功率较低。 发明内容  During the implementation of the embodiment of the present invention, the inventor finds that if the eHRPD endpoint access network device is not the target access network device, the handover of the terminal from the source network (LTE) to the target network (eHRPD) fails, and therefore, the prior art terminal crosses. The network switching success rate is low. Summary of the invention

The flow chart shown in Figure 3 assumes that the terminal negotiates a session with the eAN through a pre-registration process. When an inter-network handover occurs, the user plane connection (hereinafter referred to as A8 connection) following the A8 interface protocol between the eAN and the PCF has been disconnected. Assuming that there is an active service on the E-UTRAN, the pre-registration has been completed, the sector identification information (Sec tor ID) is statically configured on the E-UTRAN, and the S101 tunnel between the LTE and the eHRPD network has been established.
如图 3所示, 本实施例包括:  As shown in FIG. 3, this embodiment includes:
步骤 31、 E-UTRAN根据网络实际情况判断终端应该切换到 eHRPD; 例如: 当 E-UTRAN发现当前所在 LTE网络的信号艮弱时, E-UTRAN认为该终端应该 切换到 eHRPD网络中。  Step 31: The E-UTRAN judges that the terminal should switch to the eHRPD according to the actual situation of the network; for example: When the E-UTRAN finds that the signal of the current LTE network is weak, the E-UTRAN considers that the terminal should switch to the eHRPD network.
步骤 32a、 终端经 E-UTRAN向 MME发送 eHRPD网络的切换信息, 该切换 信息包括连接请求 ( Connec t ionReques t ) 消息和路径更新 ( RouteUpda te ) 消息, 用以请求在 eHRPD网络无线资源和分配业务信道; 其中, 该连接请求 中携带预注册过程中分配的终端标识(UATI ); 路径更新 ( RouteUpda te )消 息包括终端测量的导频信息, 该导频信息包括每个导频的导频偏移参数 ( P i lotPN )和导频强度。 该切换请求中还可包含 eNB静态配置的扇区标识信 息 (Sector ID) 。 Step 32: The terminal sends the handover information of the eHRPD network to the MME via the E-UTRAN, where the handover information includes a connection request and a route update message, and is used to request the radio resource and the service in the eHRPD network. a channel identifier, where the connection request carries a terminal identifier (UATI) allocated in the pre-registration process; the route update (RouteUpda te) message includes pilot information measured by the terminal, and the pilot information includes a pilot offset of each pilot.

The information and the P-GW uplink general routing packet protocol key value (GRE key) information are carried in the S101 Direct Transfer message (Direct Transfer) message and sent to the SI 01 endpoint eAN. The MME also brings the sector identification information (Sector ID) to the S101 endpoint eAN through the SI 01 Direct Transfer (S101 Direct Transfer) message.

The sector identification information ( SectorlD ) of each HRPD sector is unique. The S101 endpoint eAN obtaining target eAN information implementation method may include: when the handover occurs, the S101 endpoint eAN queries the pre-stored sector identification information and the pilot offset parameter (Pi lotPN) according to the sector identification information (Sec tor ID) The relationship table can learn the sector corresponding to the sector identification information (Sector ID) and the pilot offset parameter (PilotPN) information of the sector adjacent to the sector. The S101 endpoint eAN can accurately determine the pilot signal received by the terminal by comparing the pilot offset parameter (PilotPN) information and the pilot strength of each pilot measured in the Location Update request (routeUpdate) message.

步骤 322、 E-UTRAN, 固 E和 S-GW幹放资源, 释放的资源中包括从 S-GW 到 P-GW之间的 PMIP隧道。 本实施例当 S101端点 eAN不是目标 eAN时, S101端点 eAN通过 eAN间 接口 (A13接口) , 向目标 eAN透明地传输切换消息; 目标 eAN为终端分配 无线资源, 并将无线资源信息通过 eAN间接口透明地传递给 S101端点 eAN, 由 S101端点 eAN通过 S101隧道将无线资源信息发给终端;从而完成 E-UTRAN 到 HRPD的切换。 本实施例解决了由于 S101端点 eAN不是目标 eAN而导致的 E-UTRAN跨网切换失败的问题, 有效保证了 E-UTRAN向 eHRPD切换成功率, 避免在切换过程引起的业务终端, 从而保证了业务质量。 进一步的, 当 S101 端点 eAN与目标 eAN不是同一个 eAN、 且目标 eAN上没有存储终端的会话信 息时, 为解决目标 eAN获取终端会话的问题, 本实施例目标 eAN可通过 eAN 间接口 (A13接口) , 向存储有终端会话信息的源 eAN获取终端的会话信息; 目标 eAN获取会话的方法简单, 有利于降低***复杂度, 提供***性能。 Step 322: The E-UTRAN, the solid E, and the S-GW dry release resources, and the released resources include a PMIP tunnel from the S-GW to the P-GW. In this embodiment, when the S101 endpoint eAN is not the target eAN, the S101 endpoint eAN transparently transmits the handover message to the target eAN through the inter-eAN interface (A13 interface); the target eAN allocates the radio resource to the terminal, and the radio resource information passes the eAN interface. Transparently delivered to the S101 endpoint eAN, the S101 endpoint eAN sends radio resource information to the terminal through the S101 tunnel; thus completing the E-UTRAN to HRPD handover. This embodiment solves the problem that the E-UTRAN cross-network handover fails due to the S101 endpoint eAN is not the target eAN, which effectively ensures the E-UTRAN to switch to the eHRPD success rate, avoids the service terminal caused by the handover process, thereby ensuring the service. quality. Further, when the S101 endpoint eAN is not the same eAN as the target eAN, and the session information of the terminal is not stored on the target eAN, in order to solve the problem that the target eAN acquires the terminal session, the target eAN in this embodiment may pass the eAN interface (A13 interface). And obtaining the session information of the terminal from the source eAN storing the terminal session information; the method for obtaining the session by the target eAN is simple, which is beneficial to reducing system complexity and providing system performance.
本实施例跨网切换方法技术方案中,为了保证 S101端点 eAN能够为目标 eAN和 LTE网络间传递必要的消息, S101端点 eAN需要一直维护 S101隧道的 上下文信息, 直到切换结束。 此外, 本实施例跨网切换方法技术方案中, 源 eAN与 S101端点 eAN还可以是同一个 eAN (图中未示出) 。 源 eAN保存有终 端会话信息, 如果 S101端点 eAN和源 eAN是同一个 eAN, 则当终端会话信息 迁移到目标 eAN后, S101端点 eAN也需要继续维护该终端 S101隧道的上下 文信息, 直到切换结束。  In the technical solution of the inter-network handover method in this embodiment, in order to ensure that the S101 endpoint eAN can transmit necessary messages between the target eAN and the LTE network, the S101 endpoint eAN needs to maintain the context information of the S101 tunnel until the handover ends. In addition, in the technical solution of the inter-network handover method in this embodiment, the source eAN and the S101 endpoint eAN may also be the same eAN (not shown). The source eAN stores the terminal session information. If the S101 endpoint eAN and the source eAN are the same eAN, after the terminal session information is migrated to the target eAN, the S101 endpoint eAN also needs to continue to maintain the context information of the terminal S101 tunnel until the handover ends.

发明人在实践现有技术的跨网络切换方法过程中发现, 现有技术中, 静 态配置在 eNB上的扇区标识信息 ( Sector lD )对应扇区所属的目标网络的 eAN 为 S101端点 eAN, 但 S101端点 eAN可能不是终端切换的目标扇区所属的目 标 eAN; 特别是在 eAN覆盖边缘的终端, 存在 S101端点 eAN与目标 eAN不同 的可能性。 如果 S101端点 eAN不是目标 eAN, 由于 S101端点 eAN无法为终 端直接分配目标 eAN的无线资源, 将导致终端从源网络到目标网络的切换失 败。对于 E-UTRAN预注册区的 eNB来说,静态配置的扇区标识信息( Sector lD ) 应该是与 eNB相邻的 HRPD扇区的扇区标识信息( Sector lD )。 若 eNB与多个 HRPD扇区相邻, 那么只能选择一个 HRPD扇区的 Sector lD作为 eNB静态配置 的扇区标识信息 ( Sector lD ) 。 图 4b为现有技术 eNB存在二个相邻 HRPD扇 区情形的网络架构图。 如图 4b所示, S4和 S5表示与 eNB相邻地二个不同的 HRPD扇区; S4属于 eANl , 而 S5属于 eAN2; eNB与 S4和 S5都相邻; eNB上 静态配置的扇区标识信息 (Sector lD ) 对应的扇区为 S5 ; 假设当终端从 E-UTRAN向 eHRPD网络切换发生时, 终端测量的最强导频信号来自扇区 S4的 信号。 可见, eAN2是 S101端点 eAN, 而 eANl是目标 eAN。  In the prior art, the inventor finds that in the prior art, the sector identification information (Sector IDD) statically configured on the eNB corresponds to the eAN of the target network to which the sector belongs, which is the S101 endpoint eAN, but The S101 endpoint eAN may not be the target eAN to which the target sector of the terminal handover belongs; in particular, at the terminal of the eAN coverage edge, there is a possibility that the S101 endpoint eAN is different from the target eAN. If the S101 endpoint eAN is not the target eAN, the S101 endpoint eAN cannot directly allocate the radio resource of the target eAN to the terminal, which will cause the terminal to fail the handover from the source network to the target network. For the eNB of the E-UTRAN pre-registration area, the statically configured sector identification information (Sector LD) should be the sector identification information ( Sector lD) of the HRPD sector adjacent to the eNB. If the eNB is adjacent to multiple HRPD sectors, only Sector lD of one HRPD sector can be selected as the sector identification information ( Sector lD) of the eNB static configuration. 4b is a network architecture diagram of a situation in which two adjacent HRPD sectors exist in a prior art eNB. As shown in FIG. 4b, S4 and S5 represent two different HRPD sectors adjacent to the eNB; S4 belongs to eAN1, and S5 belongs to eAN2; eNB is adjacent to both S4 and S5; statically configured sector identification information on the eNB (Sector lD) The corresponding sector is S5; It is assumed that when the terminal switches from E-UTRAN to eHRPD network, the strongest pilot signal measured by the terminal comes from the signal of sector S4. It can be seen that eAN2 is the S101 endpoint eAN and eANl is the target eAN.
当 eAN2接收到丽 E发送的直接传输消息(即图 4a中执行步骤 42b之后 ), eAN2根据直接传输消息携带的扇区标识信息信息 (Sector lD ( S5 ) ) , 查表 获取 S5 的 Pi lotPN 以及相邻扇区的 Pi lotPN , 并且结合位置更新 ( RouteUpda te )消息中的 Pi lotPN和导频强度, 可获知终端所接收的最强导 频信号来自扇区 S4; 而 S4是位于相邻 eAN (即 eANl ) 的扇区。 由于扇区 S4 属于 eANl, 因此 eAN2无法直接为终端分配无线资源, 从而导致切换失败。 终端通过预注册已经与目标网络 eHRPD协商了会话, 但现有技术无法很 好将终端的会话转移到目标 eAN上, 具体可包括二种情形: 如果协商好的会 话保存在 S 101端点 eAN上,现有技术无法直接将终端的会话从 S 101端点 eAN 转移到目标 eAN; 或者, 如果协商好的会话保存在其它的 eAN上, 但该其它 的 eAN也不是目标 eAN,现有技术无法很好地实现将终端的会话从保存的 eAN 转移到目标 eAN上。 通过上述分析可知, 现有技术对于 S101端点 eAN与目标 eAN 不同情形下, 如何完成跨网切换以及终端会话转移并没有相应的解决方 案, 从而导致的网络间切换成功率较低。 When the eAN2 receives the direct transmission message sent by the MN (that is, after performing step 42b in FIG. 4a), the eAN2 obtains the Pi lotPN of the S5 according to the sector identification information information (Sector lD (S5)) carried in the direct transmission message. PilotPN of the adjacent sector, and combining the Pi lotPN and the pilot strength in the Location Update message, it can be known that the strongest pilot signal received by the terminal is from sector S4; and S4 is located in the adjacent eAN ( That is, the sector of eANl). Due to sector S4 It belongs to eANl, so eAN2 cannot directly allocate radio resources to the terminal, which causes the handover to fail. The terminal has negotiated the session with the target network eHRPD through the pre-registration, but the prior art cannot transfer the session of the terminal to the target eAN. Specifically, the two scenarios may be included: If the negotiated session is saved on the S101 endpoint eAN, The prior art cannot directly transfer the session of the terminal from the S101 endpoint eAN to the target eAN; or, if the negotiated session is saved on another eAN, but the other eAN is not the target eAN, the prior art cannot be well The transfer of the terminal's session from the saved eAN to the target eAN is implemented. According to the above analysis, the prior art has no corresponding solution for how to complete the cross-network handover and the terminal session transfer in different situations of the S101 endpoint eAN and the target eAN, so that the handover success rate between the networks is low.
区别于现有技术的是,本实施例当 S101端点 eAN与目标 eAN不同时, S101 端点 eAN通过 eAN间接口 ( A13接口) , 向目标 eAN透明地传输切换消息; 目标 eAN为终端分配无线资源, 并将无线资源信息通过 eAN间接口透明地传 递给 S101端点 eAN, 由 S101端点 eAN通过 S101隧道将无线资源信息发给终 端; 从而完成 E-UTRAN到 eHRPD的切换。 本实施例解决了由于 S101端点 eAN 不是目标 eAN而导致的 E-UTRAN跨网切换失败的问题, 有效保证了 E-UTRAN 向 eHRPD切换成功率, 避免在切换过程引起的业务中断, 从而保证了业务质 量。 进一步的, 当 S101端点 eAN与目标 eAN不是同一个 eAN、 且目标 eAN上 没有存储终端的会话信息时, 为解决目标 eAN获取终端会话的问题, 本实施 例目标 eAN可通过 eAN间接口 ( A13接口), 向存储有终端会话信息的源 eAN 获取终端的会话信息, 使得目标 eAN可利用现有技术获取会话, 从而解决当 S101端点 eAN与目标 eAN不同时, 终端会话信息转移到目标 eAN上的技术问 题, 方法简单, 有利于降低***复杂度, 提供***性能。  Different from the prior art, in this embodiment, when the S101 endpoint eAN is different from the target eAN, the S101 endpoint eAN transparently transmits the handover message to the target eAN through the inter-eAN interface (A13 interface); the target eAN allocates the radio resource to the terminal. The radio resource information is transparently transmitted to the S101 endpoint eAN through the inter-eAN interface, and the S101 endpoint eAN sends the radio resource information to the terminal through the S101 tunnel; thereby completing the E-UTRAN to eHRPD handover. This embodiment solves the problem that the E-UTRAN cross-network handover fails due to the S101 endpoint eAN is not the target eAN, which effectively ensures the E-UTRAN to switch to the eHRPD success rate, avoids service interruption caused by the handover process, thereby ensuring the service. quality. Further, when the S101 endpoint eAN is not the same eAN as the target eAN, and the session information of the terminal is not stored on the target eAN, in order to solve the problem that the target eAN acquires the terminal session, the target eAN in this embodiment may pass the eAN interface (A13 interface). Obtaining the session information of the terminal from the source eAN storing the terminal session information, so that the target eAN can acquire the session by using the existing technology, thereby solving the technology that the terminal session information is transferred to the target eAN when the S101 endpoint eAN is different from the target eAN. The problem, the method is simple, which helps to reduce system complexity and provide system performance.
