Description

一种家庭式基站网关及其发送消息的方法
技术领域 本发明属于通信领域, 尤其涉及一种家庭式基站网关及其发送消息的方法。 背景技术
现代移动通信越来越趋向于提供高速传输多媒体业务, 长期演进(Long Term Evolution, LTE ) ***家庭式基站的诞生, 有效的改善了***在热点地区 的覆盖、 吞吐量和室内用户的传输体验。
在 LTE的标准化进程中,一种家庭式基站 (HomeNodeB, HeNB)的概念和技 术应运而生。 HeNB技术是一种扩展移动通信室内覆盖的解决方案, 它安装在一 个小型的环境中, 用户可利用手机或笔记本电脑等移动设备, 把手机或笔记本 电脑发出的话音和数据呼叫传输到基于标准接口的核心网络, 且它的家庭接入 点即插即用, 可连接到任何现有的基于 IP的传送网络, 完全能替代目前中国家 庭或小型企业的固定带宽接入设备。 和传统的蜂窝通信的基站不同, 家庭式基 站是一种小型的、 可以安装在室内的、 配置灵活的基站。 因此, HeNB也被称为 "家庭基站"。
引入了家庭式基站的 LTE***,在整体的网络结构上和没有配置家庭式基站 的 LTE***基本上一致。 由于会部署大量的 HeNB, 因此在演进通用陆地无线接 入网给( Evolved Universal Terrestrial Radio Access Network, E-UTRAN )還辑结 构上引入了家庭式基站网关 (HomeNB Gateway,HeNB GW) , 相当于扩展了家庭 式基站和核心网之间的 S1接口, 从而可以在***中配置更多的家庭式基站。 我 们可以认为家庭式基站网关是用来集中控制层 (C-Plane),尤其是 S1-MME接口网 关模块的一个集中器。 而家庭式基站端的 S 1-U接口可以终止于家庭式基站网关 或者可以通过直接的用户层 (U-Plane)的家庭式基站和服务网关之间进行逻辑连 接。
从移动性管理实体(Mobility Management Entity, MME ) 的角度看来, 家 庭式基站 (Home eNB, HeNB )和普通的 LTE基站没有差别。 而对于 HeNB, 家庭式基站网关 (Home eNB Gateway, HeNB GW)相当于 MME。 HeNB通过 HeNB GW连接到演进的分组核心(Evolved Packet Core, EPC ) , 其 SI接口的定义和 功能都是完全一样的。 HeNB GW连接到 EPC时, HeNB GW服务的用户在小区 间的移动可以不需要进行移动管理模块 MME之间的切换。 HeNB可以支持普通 LTE基站的全部功能,其和 EPC之间的连接过程也与普通的 LTE基站完全相同。
在 HeNB GW部署的场景中, 当 HeNB GW收到一条非 UE ( User Equipment, 用户设备)相关的 SI消息, 它会终结该消息, 并产生一条对应的消息到 MME。 但当 HeNB GW同时收到多条非 UE相关的 SI消息, HeNB GW会逐条处理, 并逐 条发送对应的消息到 MME, 信令开销比较大。 发明内容
本发明实施例的目的在于提供一种家庭式基站网关及其发送消息的方法, 旨在解决当家庭式基站网关同时收到多个家庭基站发送的多条非用户设备相关 的消息时, 如何减少 MME和 HeNB GW之间的信令开销的问题。

本发明实施例中, 当家庭式基站网关同时收到多个家庭基站发送的多条非 用户设备的消息时, 所述家庭式基站网关聚合所述多条非用户设备的消息, 将 聚合消息发送给移动性管理实体,和 /或, HeNB GW接收从所述 ΜΜΕ返回的所 述聚合消息, 根据返回的聚合消息中的标识, 将所述返回的聚合消息拆分成发 给所述多个 HeNB 的单条消息。 在所述家庭式基站网关部署的场景中, 当所述 家庭式基站网关收到多条非用户设备的消息时, 所述家庭基站可以聚合这些消 息, 只发送一条聚合消息给所述移动性管理实体, 减少了所述移动性管理实体 和所述家庭式基站网关之间的信令开销。
实施例二 参考图 3 , 图 3是本发明实施例二提供的一种家庭式基站网关发送消息的方法 流程图。 如图 3所示, 该方法包括以下步骤:
步骤 301 ,当家庭式基站网关同时收到多个家庭基站发送的多条非用户设备 的消息时, 所述家庭式基站网关聚合所述多条非用户设备的消息; 当所述多条 非用户设备的消息携带信息元素列表的信息时, 所述家庭式基站网关分别聚合 所述多条非用户设备的消息中的每个信息元素以形成一条聚合消息, 并在聚合 后的非用户设备的消息中加入扩展信息元素以扩大阈值范围;
具体的, 在本发明实施例二中, 因为 HeNB GW聚合消息时, 是将所有的 消息形成列表的形式, 并没有加入对于每一条消息来自于哪个基站的标识, 所 以,当 HeNB GW收到 MME返回的所述聚合后的一条包含多条非用户设备信息 的消息, 无法拆分, 只能全部返回到每个基站, 所述每个基站收到的消息都是 聚合后的包含多条非用户设备信息的消息。
具体的, 对于一些在消息中已经携带信息元素 (Information Element, IE ) 列表的的消息,例如 S1建立请求消息、 eNB配置更新消息、重置消息等, 当 HeNB GW同时收到多个 HeNB发送的多条非 UE相关的 SI消息, HeNB GW可以将这些 消息中相同 IE的信息分别进行聚合以形成一条聚合消息, 消息格式与原消息格 式一致。 考虑到其中 TAC数量的最大值 maxnoofTACs为 256, 广播的 PLMN数量 的最大值 maxnoofBPLMNs为 6, CSG ID列表中的 CSG ID数量的最大值为 256,— 个 RESET信息中允许携带的需要重置的 UE相关的逻辑 S1连接的数量的最大值 maxnooflndividualSlConnectionsToReset为 256, 聚合消息中的 IE数量可能会超过 该阈值, 因此在聚合消息中加入扩展 IE以扩大阈值范围, 消息格式如表 5所示, 然后发送给 MME。
Figure imgf000011_0001
步骤 302,将聚合后的一条包含多条非用户设备信息的消息发送给移动性管 理实体。
下面以 S 1建立流程为例。
如图 2, 当 HeNB GW同时收到 HeNBl和 HeNB2发送的两条 S1建立请求消息, 消息格式如表 1所示, HeNB GW提取出这两条消息中相同 IE的信息,然后把相同 IE的信息放在一起并放入一个聚合 S1建立请求消息中, 消息格式与原消息格式 表 6—致, 其中各 IE列表的信息都包含 HeNBl和 HeNB2的信息, 例如其中的 消息中加入扩展 Supported TAs IE和扩展 CSG Id List IE, 消息格式如表 6所示, 然 后发送给 ΜΜΕ。

本发明实施例中, 当家庭式基站网关同时收到多个家庭基站发送的多条非 用户设备的消息时, 所述家庭式基站网关聚合所述多条非用户设备的消息, 并 将聚合消息发送给移动性管理实体。 在所述家庭式基站网关部署的场景中, 当 所述家庭式基站网关收到多条非用户设备的消息时, 所述家庭基站可以聚合这 些消息, 只发送一条聚合消息给所述移动性管理实体, 减少了所述移动性管理 实体和所述家庭式基站网关之间的信令开销。
实施例三
参考图 5 , 图 5是本发明实施例三提供的一种家庭式基站网关发送消息的方 法流程图。 如图 5所示, 该方法包括以下步骤:
步骤 501, 当所述多条非用户设备的消息携带信息元素列表的信息时, 所述 家庭式基站网关分别聚合所述多条非用户设备的消息中的每个信息元素以形成 一条聚合消息, 并在聚合消息中加入一个标识列表, 以标识所述聚合消息来自 的家庭基站的节点, 并在聚合消息中加入扩展信息元素以扩大阈值范围; 具体的, 在本发明实施例三中, 因为 HeNB GW聚合消息时, 是将所有的 消息形成列表的形式, 并没有加入对于每一条消息来自于哪个基站的标识, 所 以, 当 HeNB GW收到 MME返回的所述聚合消息, 无法拆分, 只能全部返回到 每个基站, 所述每个基站收到的消息都是聚合消息。
对于一些在消息中已经携带 IE列表的的信息,例如 S1建立请求消息、 eNB 配置更新消息、 重置消息等, 当 HeNB GW同时收到多个 HeNB发送的多条非 UE相关的 S 1消息, HeNB GW可以分别聚合这些消息中每个 IE以形成一条聚 合消息, 在聚合消息中加入一个标识列表以标识聚合消息中的信息来自哪些 HeNB 节点, 消息格式与原消息格式一致。 考虑到其中 TAC 数量的最大值 maxnoofTACs为 256, 广播的 PLMN数量的最大值 maxnoofBPLMNs为 6, CSG ID列表中的 CSG ID数量的最大值为 256, 聚合消息中的 IE数量可能会超过该 阈值, 因此扩展 IE以扩大阈值范围, 消息格式如表 8所示, 然后发送给 MME。
Figure imgf000015_0002
Figure imgf000015_0001
步骤 502, 并将聚合消息发送给移动性管理实体。
下面以 S 1建立流程为例。
如图 2, 当 HeNB GW同时收到 HeNBl和 HeNB2发送的两条 S1建立请求消息, HeNB GW提取出这两条消息中相同 IE的信息, 然后把相同 IE的信息放在一起并 放入一个聚合 S1建立请求消息中, 消息格式与原消息格式表一致, 其中各 IE列 表的信息都包含 HeNB 1和 HeNB2的信息, 例如其中的 Supported TAs IE同时包含 了 HeNBl支持的 TA和 HeNB2支持的 TA,在聚合消息中加入一个 HeNB ID list IE, 其中包换 HeNBl和 HeNB2的标识, 并且在聚合消息中加入扩展 Supported TAs IE 和扩展 CSG Id List IE, 消息格式如表 9所示, 然后发送给 ΜΜΕ。 IE/Group Prsssnc Range I E type and reference Semantics Critical it Assig ne Name e description y d

本发明实施例中, 当所述多条非用户设备的消息携带信息元素列表的信息 时, 所述 HeNB GW分别聚合所述多条非用户设备的消息中的每个信息元素以 形成一条聚合消息, 并在聚合消息中加入一个标识列表, 以标识所述聚合消息 来自的家庭基站的节点, 并在聚合消息中加入扩展信息元素以扩大阈值范围。 在所述 HeNB GW部署的场景中, 当所述 HeNB GW收到多条非用户设备的消 息时, 所述 HeNB可以聚合这些消息, 只发送一条聚合消息给所述 MME, 减少 了所述 MME和所 HeNB GW之间的信令开销。
实施例四
参考图 6 , 图 6是本发明实施例四提供的一种家庭式基站网关发送消息的方法 流程图。 如图 6所示, 该方法包括以下步骤: 步骤 601 ,当家庭式基站网关同时收到多个家庭基站发送的多条非用户设备 的消息时, 所述家庭式基站网关聚合所述多条非用户设备的消息, 并在聚合消 息中加入一个添加指示, 以标识所述聚合消息是否添加到原消息上, 若有所述 添加指示, 则所述聚合消息添加到原消息上; 若无所述添加指示, 则所述聚合 消息覆盖原消息;
具体的, 当增加添加指示后, 本发明实施例四不需要扩展 IE以扩大阈值范 围, 因为 HeNB GW可以将聚合的消息分成几个部分发送到 MME, 可以避免 HeNB GW一次发送聚合消息导致的超过 IE阈值范围的情况。
对于一些在消息中已经携带 IE列表的的信息, 例如 S1建立请求消息、 eNB 配置更新消息、 重置消息等, 当 HeNB GW同时收到多个 HeNB发送的多条非 UE 相关的 S1消息, HeNB GW可以分别聚合这些消息中每个 IE以形成一条聚合消 息, 消息格式与原消息格式一致。 考虑到其中 TAC数量的最大值 maxnoofTACs 为 256, 广播的 PLMN数量的最大值 maxnoofBPLMNs为 6, CSG ID列表中的 CSG ID数量的最大值为 256, 聚合消息中的 IE数量可能会超过该阈值, 因此在聚合消 息中加入一个添加指示以标识聚合消息中的信息是否只用于在原消息上添加, 以扩展 IE以扩大阈值范围, 消息格式如表 10所示, 然后发送给 MME。
Figure imgf000017_0001
表 10
MME接收到该消息,如果其中添加指示为没有添加, 则 ΜΜΕ用该消息中的 信息覆盖全部已保存的信息; 如果其中添加指示为添加, 则 ΜΜΕ把该消息中的 信息添加到已保存的信息中。
步骤 602, 将聚合消息发送给移动性管理实体。
下面以 S 1建立流程为例。
如图 2所示, 当 HeNB GW同时收到 HeNBl和 HeNB2发送的两条 SI建立请求 消息, 消息格式如表 1所示, HeNB GW提取出这两条消息中相同 IE的信息, 然后 把相同 IE的信息放在一起并放入一个聚合 S1建立请求消息中, 消息格式与原消 息格式表 1一致, 其中各 IE列表的信息都包含 HeNBl和 HeNB2的信息, 例如其中 的 Supported TAs IE同时包含了 HeNBl支持的 TA和 HeNB2支持的 TA, 并且在聚 合消息中加入一个 Complement Indication IE ,如该 IE值置为 1 , 则表示把该消息 中的信息添加到原保存信息中, 如该 IE值置为 0, 则表示用该消息中的信息覆盖 原保存信息, 消息格式如表 11所示, 然后发送给 MME。
Figure imgf000018_0001
表 11
本发明实施例中, 当所述多条非用户设备的消息携带信息元素列表的信息 时, 所述家庭式基站网关分别聚合所述多条非用户设备的消息中的每个信息元 素以形成一条聚合消息, 并在聚合消息中加入一个添加指示, 以标识所述聚合 消息是否添加到原消息上, 若有所述添加指示, 则所述聚合消息添加到原消息 上; 若无所述添加指示, 则所述聚合消息覆盖原消息。 在所述家庭式基站网关 部署的场景中, 当所述家庭式基站网关收到多条非用户设备的消息时, 所述家 庭基站可以聚合这些消息, 只发送一条聚合消息给所述移动性管理实体, 减少 了所述移动性管理实体和所述家庭式基站网关之间的信令开销。 实施例五
