具体地, eNB控制 UE的移动性的具体实现方式主要为: UE接收 eNB 发送的配置信息, 并根据该配置信息进行测量, 获取测量结果, 根据该配置 信息中的上报方式, 向 eNB报告该测量结果。 eNB根据测量结果选择对应的 无线访问节点 (Access Point; 简称: AP) 配置 wif分流。 其中, eNB根据测 量结果选择对应的 AP配置 wif分流的具体实现方式为: eNB向 AP发送携带 有分流配置请求参数的 wifi分流请求消息, 并接收 AP返回的携带有分流配 置响应参数的 wifi分流响应消息, eNB再根据该 wifi分流响应消息, 向 UE 发送分流配置响应参数, 以使的 UE根据该分流配置响应参数, 进行 wifi分 流配置, 选择对应的 AP接入, 进行与 eNB和 wifi的通信过程。  Specifically, the specific implementation manner in which the eNB controls the mobility of the UE is mainly: the UE receives the configuration information sent by the eNB, performs measurement according to the configuration information, obtains the measurement result, and reports the measurement to the eNB according to the reporting manner in the configuration information. result. The eNB selects a corresponding wireless access node (Access Point; AP for short) according to the measurement result to configure the wif offload. The specific implementation manner of the eNB selecting the corresponding AP configuration wif offload according to the measurement result is: The eNB sends a wifi offload request message carrying the offload configuration request parameter to the AP, and receives the wifi offload response that is returned by the AP and carries the offload configuration response parameter. The eNB further sends a offload configuration response parameter to the UE according to the wifi offload response message, so that the UE performs the wifi offload configuration according to the offload configuration response parameter, selects the corresponding AP access, and performs communication process with the eNB and the wifi. .
但是, 对于 wifi密集部署的场景中, UE移动会导致 AP频繁切换, 且由 于 UE必须根据 eNB指示进行 AP切换, 因此, 会导致 AP和 eNB、 UE之间 信令交互较多, 从而存在较大的切换时延和信令开销, 尤其当 eNB和 AP之 间的通信链路时延较大时, 会降低切换性能, 导致用户业务终端时间较长或 者丢包较多。 发明内容  However, in a scenario where the wifi is densely deployed, the UE moves the AP to frequently switch, and the UE must perform the AP handover according to the eNB. Therefore, the signaling interaction between the AP and the eNB and the UE is large, so that there is a large The handover delay and signaling overhead, especially when the communication link delay between the eNB and the AP is large, will reduce the handover performance, resulting in longer user service terminals or more packet loss.

The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention are clearly and completely described in the following with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. The embodiments are a part of the embodiments of the invention, and not all of the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative efforts are within the scope of the present invention.
图 1为本发明切换处理方法所基于的 eNB分流的 wifi分流架构示意图, 图 2为本发明切换处理方法所基于的分组数据网络网关 (PDN Gateway; 简 称: PGW)分流的 wifi分流架构示意图, 如图 1和图 2所示, 当 wifi分流和 汇聚发生在演进的分组核心网(Evolved Packet Core; 简称: EPC)中的 PGW 时, PGW作为 wifi分流的锚点。 当 wifi分流和汇聚发生在 3GPP的无线接入 网, 如 E-UTRAN或者 UTRAN时, eNB或者 RNC作为 wifi分流的锚点。在 无线层面, UE可以同时与 LTE和 wifi有无线连接或者进行无线通信, 或者 UE同时与 UMTS和 wifi有无线连接或者进行无线通信。 1 is a schematic diagram of a wifi offload architecture of an eNB offload based on a handover processing method according to the present invention. FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram of a wifi offload architecture of a packet data network gateway (PDN Gateway; PGW for short) based on the handover processing method of the present invention, such as As shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, when the wifi offloading and aggregation occurs in the PGW in the Evolved Packet Core (EPC), the PGW acts as an anchor for the wifi offload. When wifi offloading and aggregation occurs in 3GPP wireless access For the network, such as E-UTRAN or UTRAN, the eNB or RNC acts as an anchor for wifi offload. At the wireless level, the UE can have a wireless connection or wireless communication with LTE and wifi at the same time, or the UE has a wireless connection or wireless communication with UMTS and wifi at the same time.
另夕卜,当 UE在蜂窝网处于无线资源控制连接状态(RRC_CONNECTED) 且关联了 wifi接入点时, 相当于在蜂窝网和 wifi进行***间 CA。 UE在蜂窝 网也可能处于无线资源控制空闲状态(RRC_IDLE), 这种情况下 UE的全部 业务需要通过 wifi进行通信。  In addition, when the UE is in the RRC connection state (RRC_CONNECTED) and the wifi access point is associated with the UE, it is equivalent to performing an inter-system CA on the cellular network and wifi. The UE may also be in the radio resource control idle state (RRC_IDLE) in the cellular network. In this case, all services of the UE need to communicate through wifi.
图 3为本发明切换处理方法的一个实施例的流程图, 基于图 1或图 2所 示的 eNB分流的 wifi分流架构, 如图 3所示, 本实施例的方法可以包括: 步骤 101、 UE接收第一基站发送的该第一基站对应的切换策略和 wifi分 流配置信息; 其中, 该切换策略用于指示该 UE按照 WLAN协议的漫游机制 进行 AP切换。  FIG. 3 is a flowchart of an embodiment of a handover processing method according to the present invention. Based on the wifi offload architecture of the eNB offloading shown in FIG. 1 or FIG. 2, as shown in FIG. 3, the method in this embodiment may include: Step 101: UE And receiving, by the first base station, a handover policy and wifi offload configuration information corresponding to the first base station, where the handover policy is used to indicate that the UE performs AP handover according to a roaming mechanism of the WLAN protocol.
步骤 102、 UE根据该第一基站对应的 wifi分流配置信息,与通过 WLAN 协议发现的第一 AP进行通信。  Step 102: The UE communicates with the first AP discovered through the WLAN protocol according to the wifi offload configuration information corresponding to the first base station.
步骤 103、 UE与第一 AP进行通信, 在该 UE移动时, 该 UE根据该第 一基站对应的切换策略, 获取第二 AP, 与该第一 AP去关联, 与该第二 AP 进行通信, 以实现 AP的切换。  Step 103: The UE communicates with the first AP, and when the UE moves, the UE acquires the second AP according to the handover policy corresponding to the first base station, associates with the first AP, and communicates with the second AP. To achieve AP switching.
在本实施例中, 举例来说, UE在移动过程中, UE根据该切换策略, 测 量到第一 AP的信号强度小于第一预设门限和 /或根据信标 (beacon) 中第一 AP的负荷大于第二预设门限, 而且第二 AP的信号强度大于该第一预设门限 和 /或其负荷小于该第二预设门限, 则将第一 AP去关联, 并与第二 AP进行 通信, 以实现 AP的切换。  In this embodiment, for example, when the UE moves, the UE measures, according to the handover policy, that the signal strength of the first AP is less than the first preset threshold and/or according to the first AP in the beacon. If the load is greater than the second preset threshold, and the signal strength of the second AP is greater than the first preset threshold and/or the load is less than the second preset threshold, the first AP is de-associated and communicates with the second AP. To achieve AP switching.
在本实施例中, UE接收第一基站发送的该第一基站对应的切换策略和 wifi分离配置信息, 另外, UE根据第一基站对应的 wifi分流配置信息, 与通 过 WLAN协议发现的第一 AP进行通信,在 UE移动时, UE根据第一基站对 应的切换策略, 获取第二 AP, 与第一 AP去关联, 并与第二 AP进行通信, 以实现 AP切换, 由于切换策略用于指示该 UE按照 WLAN协议的漫游机制 进行 AP切换,即 UE移动过程中只需要根据切换策略实现 AP的切换,因此, 有效地解决了现有技术中 UE必须根据 eNB指示进行 AP切换而导致 AP和 eNB、 UE之间信令交互较多, 从而存在较大的切换时延和信令开销问题, 从 而有效地提高了切换性能。 In this embodiment, the UE receives the handover policy and the wifi separation configuration information corresponding to the first base station that is sent by the first base station, and the UE, according to the wifi offload configuration information corresponding to the first base station, and the first AP that is discovered through the WLAN protocol. Communicating, when the UE moves, the UE acquires the second AP according to the handover policy corresponding to the first base station, associates with the first AP, and communicates with the second AP to implement AP handover, because the handover policy is used to indicate the The UE performs the AP handover according to the roaming mechanism of the WLAN protocol, that is, the UE only needs to implement the handover of the AP according to the handover policy during the UE mobility process. Therefore, the AP and the eNB are effectively caused by the UE in the prior art that the UE must perform the AP handover according to the indication of the eNB. There are many signaling interactions between UEs, so there are large handover delays and signaling overhead problems. And effectively improve the switching performance.
进一步的, 在本发明的另一个实施例中, 在上述 3所示实施例的基础上, 以第一基站直接与 AP建立通信链路和分流关联, 即没有 wifi控制器时, 该 wifi控制器可以为 wifi AC、 WAG或者 wifi路由器的情况为例, 步骤 103之 后, 该方法还可以包括:  Further, in another embodiment of the present invention, on the basis of the foregoing embodiment shown in FIG. 3, the first base station directly establishes a communication link and a traffic association with the AP, that is, when there is no wifi controller, the wifi controller For example, in the case of a wifi AC, a WAG, or a wifi router, after the step 103, the method may further include:
UE与第二 AP进行通信, 向第一基站上报该第二 AP的基本服务集标识 (Basic Service Set Identifier;简称: BSSID), 以供该第一基站根据该 BSSID, 与第二 AP建立通信链路和分流关联。  The UE communicates with the second AP, and reports a Basic Service Set Identifier (BSSID) of the second AP to the first base station, so that the first base station establishes a communication chain with the second AP according to the BSSID. Roads are associated with shunts.
更进一步的, 在本发明的又一个实施例中, 在上述图 3所示实施例的基 础上, 该方法还可以包括:  Further, in still another embodiment of the present invention, based on the foregoing embodiment shown in FIG. 3, the method may further include:
UE在移动过程中, 若根据切换策略, 没有获取第二 AP, 且与第一 AP 去关联, 则向该第一基站上报 wifi空闲状态信息, 以供第一基站根据该 wifi 空闲状态信息, 停止向该第一基站建立通信链路和分流关联的 wifi控制器或 者 AP发送 wifi分流数据。  If the UE does not acquire the second AP according to the handover policy and is associated with the first AP, the UE reports the wifi idle state information to the first base station, so that the first base station stops according to the wifi idle state information. Establishing a communication link to the first base station and a wifi controller or an AP associated with the offloading to transmit wifi offload data.
在本实施例中, 由于 wifi覆盖问题, 当 UE与第一 AP去关联后没有合 适的其他 AP可以关联, 因此, UE可以向第一基站上报 wifi空闲状态信息, 以供第一基站根据该 wifi空闲状态信息, 停止向该第一基站建立通信链路和 分流关联的 wifi控制器或者 AP发送 wifi分流数据。  In this embodiment, due to the wifi coverage problem, when the UE is de-associated with the first AP, no other APs can be associated. Therefore, the UE may report the wifi idle state information to the first base station, according to the wifi. The idle state information stops the establishment of the communication link to the first base station and the wifi controller or the AP associated with the offloading to send the wifi offload data.
图 4为本发明切换处理方法的还一个实施例的流程图, 如图 4所示, 该 方法包括:  4 is a flowchart of still another embodiment of a handover processing method according to the present invention. As shown in FIG. 4, the method includes:
步骤 201、 UE接收第一基站发送的该第一基站对应的切换策略和 wifi分 流配置信息; 其中, 该切换策略用于指示该 UE按照 WLAN协议的漫游机制 进行 AP切换。  Step 201: The UE receives the handover policy and the wifi offload configuration information corresponding to the first base station sent by the first base station, where the handover policy is used to indicate that the UE performs AP handover according to the roaming mechanism of the WLAN protocol.
步骤 202、 UE根据该第一基站对应的 wifi分流配置信息,与通过 WLAN 协议发现的该第一 AP进行通信。  Step 202: The UE communicates with the first AP discovered by using the WLAN protocol according to the wifi offload configuration information corresponding to the first base station.
在本实施例中, 第一基站向 wifi控制器, 例如: wifi接入控制器(Access Controller; 简称: AC) 、 wifi接入网关(Wifi Access Gateway; 简称: WAG) 或者 wifi路由器 (router) , 发送 wifi分流请求消息, 该 wifi分流请求消息 可以包括:该第一基站的 MAC地址, GPRS传输协议(GPRS Tunnel Protocol; 简称: GTP) 端节点标识 (Terminal Endpoint Identifier; 简称: TEID) , 所 需分流的无线承载标识 (Radio Bearer ID; 简称: RB ID) , 所需分流的无线 承载的服务质量 (Quality of Service; 简称: QoS ) 信息、 wifi AC、 WAG或 者 wifi路由器对应的 ESSID。 In this embodiment, the first base station is to the wifi controller, for example, a wifi access controller (Access Controller; abbreviation: AC), a wifi access gateway (WA Access Gateway; WAG), or a wifi router (router). Sending a wifi offload request message, the wifi offload request message may include: a MAC address of the first base station, a GPRS Tunnel Protocol (GTP) end node identifier (Terminal Endpoint Identifier; TEID), The radio bearer ID (abbreviation: RB ID) to be offloaded, the quality of service (QoS) information of the radio bearer to be offloaded, the ESSID corresponding to the wifi AC, WAG, or wifi router.
另外, wifi AC、 WAG或者 wifi路由器接收该 wifi分流请求消息, 并执 行接纳控制, 选定可以接受哪些 RB ID进行关联, 建立 RB ID和 wifi接入类 别标识 (Access Category ID; 简称: AC ID) 关联关系, 向该第一基站发送 wifi分流响应消息, 其中, 该 wifi分流响应消息可以包括: wifi AC、 WAG 或者 wifi路由器对应的 ESSID, GTP TEID、 RB ID, AC ID等信息。  In addition, the wifi AC, WAG or wifi router receives the wifi offload request message, and performs admission control, selects which RB IDs can be accepted for association, and establishes an RB ID and a wifi access category identifier (Access Category ID; AC ID for short). The association relationship sends a wifi offload response message to the first base station, where the wifi offload response message may include: ESSID, GTP TEID, RB ID, AC ID and the like corresponding to the wifi AC, WAG or wifi router.
可选地, 该 wifi分流响应消息中还可以包括: wifi AC、 WAG或者 wifi 路由器的能力信息或者所支持的 wifi协议版本信息。另外,还需要说明的是, wifi AC, WAG或者 wifi路由器也可能在接纳控制时, 修改所需分流的无线 承载的服务质量信息, 则在 wifi分流响应消息中还包括: 修改后的所需分流 的无线承载的服务质量信息, 从而使得第一基站与 wifi AC、 WAG或者 wifi 路由器建立通信链路和分流关联。 其中, 每个 wifi AC、 WAG或者 wifi路由 器包括多个 AP。  Optionally, the wifi offload response message may further include: capability information of the wifi AC, WAG, or wifi router or supported wifi protocol version information. In addition, it should be noted that the wifi AC, WAG or wifi router may also modify the quality of service information of the required offloaded radio bearer in the admission control, and the wifi offload response message further includes: the modified required shunt The quality of service carried by the radio, so that the first base station establishes a communication link and a shunt association with the wifi AC, WAG or wifi router. Among them, each wifi AC, WAG or wifi router includes multiple APs.
第一基站向 UE发送该第一基站对应的 wifi分流配置信息, 可选地, 该 wifi分流配置信息包括: wifi AC、 WAG或者 wifi路由器对应的 ESSID (即 第一 ESSID) , 所分流业务的 RB ID和其对应的 AC ID, QoS信息。  The first base station sends the wifi offload configuration information corresponding to the first base station to the UE. Optionally, the wifi offload configuration information includes: an ESSID corresponding to the wifi AC, the WAG, or the wifi router (ie, the first ESSID), and the RB of the offloaded service ID and its corresponding AC ID, QoS information.
在本实施例中, UE根据第一基站对应的 wifi分流配置信息, 建立 LTE 协议栈的 RB, 分流到 wifi的 RB所对应的接入类别 AC、 RB和 AC的关联, 向第一基站返回 wifi分流配置完成的消息。 需要说明的是, 对于 PGW分流 或者 eNB分流但全部数据通过 wifi和 UE通信的 RB, UE也可以根据第一基 站发送的第一基站对应的 wifi分流配置信息, 预先在 LTE协议栈建立这些 RB, 从而当这些 RB需要从 wifi重新迁移到 LTE时, 不需要基站另外通过 RRC消息重新配置 RB。 其中, wifi分流完成配置的消息可以通过 RRC连接 重配置完成 (RRC Connection Reconfiguration Complete) 消息或 RRC连接建 立完成 (RRC Connection Setup Complete) 消息或者 RRC连接重建立完成消 息 (RRC Connection Reestablishment Complete) 等发送给基站。  In this embodiment, the UE establishes an RB of the LTE protocol stack according to the wifi offload configuration information corresponding to the first base station, and associates the access category AC, RB, and AC corresponding to the RB of the wifi, and returns the wifi to the first base station. The message that the configuration is completed is offloaded. It should be noted that the RB may be established in the LTE protocol stack in advance according to the WLAN offload configuration information corresponding to the first base station sent by the first base station. Thus, when these RBs need to be re-migrated from wifi to LTE, the base station is not required to additionally reconfigure the RB through the RRC message. The WLAN connection reconfiguration complete message (RRC Connection Reconfiguration Complete) message or the RRC connection setup complete message (RRC Connection Reestablishment Complete) or the RRC connection reestablishment complete message may be sent to the RRC connection reconfiguration complete message. Base station.
另外, UE根据 WLAN协议发现第一 AP, 认证、 关联或者重关联第一 AP,并在认证和关联成功后与该第一 AP进行通信。 UE还可以同时通过 LTE 协议与第一基站通信。 In addition, the UE discovers the first AP according to the WLAN protocol, authenticates, associates, or re-associates the first AP, and communicates with the first AP after the authentication and association succeeds. UE can also pass LTE at the same time The protocol communicates with the first base station.
需要说明的是,在本实施例中,第一基站向 UE发送第一基站对应的 wifi 分流配置信息和切换策略可以包含在同一条消息中, 或者使用不同的消息分 别发送。 例如: 第一基站根据 UE是否移动以及 UE移动速度在向 UE发送 wifi分流配置信息一段时间之后再发送切换策略。可选地,第一基站在该 wifi 分流配置信息中还可以配置 UE对 wifi的接收信号强度、 wifi负荷等信息进 行测量和报告, 以协助 UE进行 AP发现和选择。 另外, wifi分流配置信息和 /或切换策略可以通过 RRC链接重配置(RRC Connection Reconfiguration)消 息或含移动性控制信息 (Mobility Control Information) 的 RRC连接重配置消 息或 RRC连接建立(RRC Connection Setup)消息或 RRC连接重建立(RRC Connection Reestablishment ) 消息等发送个 UE。  It should be noted that, in this embodiment, the first base station sends the wifi offload configuration information corresponding to the first base station to the UE, and the handover policy may be included in the same message, or sent by using different messages. For example: the first base station sends the handover policy after sending the wifi offload configuration information to the UE for a period of time according to whether the UE moves and the UE moving speed. Optionally, the first base station may further configure, in the wifi offload configuration information, the UE to measure and report information such as the received signal strength and the wifi load of the wifi, to assist the UE in performing AP discovery and selection. In addition, the wifi offload configuration information and/or the handover policy may be an RRC Connection Reconfiguration message or an RRC Connection Reconfiguration message or an RRC Connection Setup message including Mobility Control Information. Or a UE is transmitted by an RRC Connection Reestablishment message or the like.
步骤 203、 在该 UE移动时, 该 UE根据该第一基站对应的切换策略, 获 取第二 AP, 与该第一 AP去关联, 与该第二 AP进行通信, 以实现 AP的切 换。  Step 203: When the UE moves, the UE obtains the second AP according to the handover policy corresponding to the first base station, and associates with the first AP to communicate with the second AP to implement switching of the AP.
在本实施例中, UE在移动过程中, 按照切换策略, 即按照 WLAN协议 的漫游机制发现第二 AP, 并实现 UE从第一 AP到第二 AP的切换。 特别的, 在 UE和 WLAN均支持 FT的情况下, 根据 FT协议切换 AP。  In this embodiment, the UE discovers the second AP according to the handover policy, that is, according to the roaming mechanism of the WLAN protocol, and implements handover of the UE from the first AP to the second AP. In particular, in the case where both the UE and the WLAN support FT, the AP is switched according to the FT protocol.
另外, 若 UE在同一个扩展服务集 (Extended Service Set; 简称: ESS ) 内的不同 AP间移动时, 可以由 wifi AC、 WAG或者 wifi路由器完成认证、 业务数据流的转发等过程, 遵循 WLAN漫游协议。 可选地, 在 UE移动时, 第一基站可以根据网络部署 (deployment)或 0AM或 ANDSF获取的信息或 者根据 UE测量报告向 UE发送的推荐候选目标 AP列表, 以协助 UE进行 AP发现和选择, 进一步降低切换延迟和节省 UE电池消耗。  In addition, if the UE moves between different APs in the same extended service set ( ESS ), the wifi AC, WAG, or wifi router can complete the process of authentication, service data flow forwarding, etc., and follow WLAN roaming. protocol. Optionally, when the UE moves, the first base station may assist the UE to perform AP discovery and selection according to information obtained by network deployment or 0AM or ANDSF or a recommended candidate target AP list sent to the UE according to the UE measurement report. Further reduce switching delay and save UE battery consumption.
步骤 204、UE在检测到该第二 AP对应的第二 ESSID与该第一 ESSID不 相同时, 向该第一基站发送携带有该第二 ESSID的指示消息, 以供该第一基 站与该第二 ESSID对应的 wifi控制器建立通信链路和分流关联。  Step 204: When detecting that the second ESSID corresponding to the second AP is different from the first ESSID, the UE sends an indication message carrying the second ESSID to the first base station, where the first base station and the first The wifi controller corresponding to the second ESSID establishes a communication link and a traffic distribution association.
在本实施例中, 当第二 AP对应的第二 ESSID与第一 ESSID不相同时, 说明第二 AP所属的 AC、 WAG或者路由器与第一 AP所属的 AC、 WAG或 者路由器不相同, 即 UE不在同一个 ESS内的 AP间移动, 因此, UE需要向 第一基站发送携带有第二 ESSID的指示消息, 以供第一基站与第二 AP所属 的 wifi AC、 WAG或者 wifi路由器建立通信链路和分流关联。 In this embodiment, when the second ESSID corresponding to the second AP is different from the first ESSID, the AC, the WAG, or the router to which the second AP belongs is different from the AC, WAG, or router to which the first AP belongs, that is, the UE. The UE does not move between the APs in the same ESS. Therefore, the UE needs to send an indication message carrying the second ESSID to the first base station, for the first base station and the second AP to belong to. The wifi AC, WAG or wifi router establishes the communication link and the offload association.
另外, 可选地, 当 UE在同一 ESS内移动时, 当第一 AP的信号质量或 负荷到达预设门限且 UE检测到的第二 AP的 BSSID时, 也可以向第一基站 报告该第二 AP的 BSSID, 以使得第一基站进行流量控制, 例如: 第一基站 判断因为 AP的切换需要中断时间而减少向 wifi网络分流的业务量。  In addition, optionally, when the UE moves within the same ESS, when the signal quality or load of the first AP reaches the preset threshold and the BSSID of the second AP detected by the UE, the second base station may also report the second The BSSID of the AP is such that the first base station performs flow control. For example, the first base station determines that the traffic that is offloaded to the wifi network is reduced because the handover of the AP requires an interruption time.
需要说明的是, WLAN 组网方式包括 BSS、 ESS 和独立服务集 (Independent BSS; 简称: IBSS) 。 BSSID代表一个 BSS, 为 AP的 MAC 地址。 BSS的覆盖范围成为基本服务区 (Basic Service Area; 简称: BSA) 。 ESSID代表一个 ESS, ESS范围内的多个 AP具有相同的 ESSID,以支持 STA 漫游, 在同一个 ESS 中不同 BSS 间切换过程成为漫游。 wifi终端一般成为 STA,对于支持蜂窝网和 wifi的终端可以统称为 UE。其中, wifi路由器、 wifi AC和 WAG均属于 ESS。  It should be noted that the WLAN networking mode includes BSS, ESS, and Independent BSS (abbreviation: IBSS). The BSSID represents a BSS and is the MAC address of the AP. The coverage of BSS becomes the Basic Service Area (BSA). The ESSID represents an ESS. Multiple APs in the ESS range have the same ESSID to support STA roaming. The switching process between different BSSs in the same ESS becomes roaming. The wifi terminal generally becomes a STA, and the terminals supporting the cellular network and the wifi can be collectively referred to as a UE. Among them, wifi router, wifi AC and WAG belong to ESS.
更进一步的, 在本发明的再一个实施例中, 在上述各个方法所示实施例 的基础上, 该方法还可以包括:  Further, in still another embodiment of the present invention, based on the embodiments shown in the foregoing methods, the method may further include:
该 UE接收第一基站发送的切换消息, 该切换消息包括: 该第二基站对 应的 RRC连接配置信息; 其中, 该第二基站对应的 RRC连接配置信息为该 第一基站与该第二基站交互获取的信息, 该第二基站对应的 wifi分流配置信 息和切换策略;  Receiving, by the UE, a handover message sent by the first base station, where the handover message includes: RRC connection configuration information corresponding to the second base station, where the RRC connection configuration information corresponding to the second base station is that the first base station interacts with the second base station The obtained information, the wifi offload configuration information and the handover policy corresponding to the second base station;
该 UE根据该第二基站对应的 RRC连接配置信息, 进行切换处理; 该 UE按照该第二基站对应的 wifi分流配置信息,与通过该 WLAN协议 发现的 AP进行通信, 并在该 UE移动过程中, 按照该第二基站对应的切换策 略进行 AP切换处理。  The UE performs handover processing according to the RRC connection configuration information corresponding to the second base station; the UE communicates with the AP discovered through the WLAN protocol according to the wifi offload configuration information corresponding to the second base station, and is in the UE moving process. And performing AP switching processing according to the switching policy corresponding to the second base station.
在本实施例中, 对于 eNB分流的 wifi分流架构, 以同一个 ESS或 BSS 覆盖范围和不同 eNB的覆盖区域有重合 (overlap) , 且 UE从第一基站切换 到第二基站为例, 该 UE接收第一基站发送的切换消息之前, UE根据测量配 置向第一基站发送 UE对应的测量报告,该 UE对应的测量报告包含第一基站 和与该第一基站的相邻基站的测量报告, 以及 wifi测量报告等信息。 另外, 该 UE对应的测量报告还包括: UE当前的 wifi连接状态信息, 例如: UE是 否存在 wifi连接, UE所关联的当前 wifi AP的 BSSID,所属的 ESS的 ESSID 等信息。 第一基站判断需要把 UE切换到第二基站时, 向第二基站发送切换请求 消息, 该切换请求消息包括: UE在第一基站的 wifi分流配置、 UE当前 wifi 连接状态以及切换策略等。 同时, 第一基站可以上述的 wifi分流配置中指示 第二基站和第一 AP进行 wifi分流配置或者和其他 AP进行 wifi分流配置。 In this embodiment, for the wifi offloading architecture of the eNB, the coverage of the same ESS or BSS coverage and the coverage area of different eNBs overlaps, and the UE switches from the first base station to the second base station as an example, the UE Before receiving the handover message sent by the first base station, the UE sends a measurement report corresponding to the UE to the first base station according to the measurement configuration, where the measurement report corresponding to the UE includes a measurement report of the first base station and a neighboring base station with the first base station, and Wifi measurement report and other information. In addition, the measurement report corresponding to the UE further includes: current wifi connection status information of the UE, for example, whether the UE has a wifi connection, a BSSID of the current wifi AP associated with the UE, and an ESSID of the ESS to which the UE belongs. When the first base station determines that the UE needs to be handed over to the second base station, it sends a handover request message to the second base station, where the handover request message includes: a WLAN offload configuration of the UE in the first base station, a current wifi connection state of the UE, and a handover policy. At the same time, the first base station may instruct the second base station and the first AP to perform wifi offload configuration or perform wifi offload configuration with other APs in the wifi offload configuration.
第二基站执行接纳控制, 向第一基站发送切换响应消息, 其包含第二基 站对应的 RRC连接配置信息、 wifi分流配置信息和切换策略, 同时, 第二基 站可以和 UE在第一基站进行 wifi分流的 AP建立关联和通信链路, 从而在 基站切换时后, 第二基站可以和第一 AP继续进行 wifi分流, 或者与其他 AP 进行 wifi分流。 另外, 还需要说明的是, 若第一 AP没有与 UE成功发送和 接收的业务数据可以通过第一基站转发给第二基站, 由第二基站转发给第二 AP, 或者直接转发给第二 AP。  The second base station performs admission control, and sends a handover response message to the first base station, where the RRC connection configuration information, the wifi offload configuration information, and the handover policy corresponding to the second base station are included, and the second base station can perform wifi with the UE at the first base station. The offloaded AP establishes an association and a communication link, so that after the base station switches, the second base station can continue to perform wifi offload with the first AP, or perform wifi offload with other APs. In addition, it should be noted that if the service data that the first AP does not successfully send and receive with the UE can be forwarded to the second base station by using the first base station, the second base station forwards the data to the second AP, or directly forwards to the second AP. .
在本实施例中, 需要说明的是, 对于 PGW分流的 wifi分流架构, 基站 指示 UE分别按照 LTE移动性管理机制在基站间切换和按照 WLAN协议的漫 游机制进行 AP切换, 两者的移动性相互独立。  In this embodiment, it is to be noted that, for the wifi offload architecture of the PGW offload, the base station instructs the UE to perform inter-base station handover according to the LTE mobility management mechanism and perform AP handover according to the roaming mechanism of the WLAN protocol, and the mobility of the two is mutually independent.
具体的, 当基站切换时, 第一基站不与第二基站交互, 即 UE按照第一 基站对应的 wif分流配置消息和切换策略执行相应的处理, UE当达到第二基 站后, 可以报告第二基站当前关联的 wifi信息, 也可以不报告该信息。 另外, UE可以通过 wifi AC、 WAG或者 wifi路由器当 ESS切换时, 通知 PGW。 当 UE在同一个 ESS内切换 AP时, 可以不需要通知 PGW。  Specifically, when the base station is handed over, the first base station does not interact with the second base station, that is, the UE performs corresponding processing according to the wif offload configuration message and the handover policy corresponding to the first base station, and the UE may report the second after reaching the second base station. The wifi information currently associated with the base station may not be reported. In addition, the UE can notify the PGW when the ESS is switched through the wifi AC, WAG or wifi router. When the UE switches the AP within the same ESS, it may not need to notify the PGW.
更进一步的, 在本发明的另一个实施例中, 在上述图 3所示实施例的而 基础上, 该方法还可以包括:  Further, in another embodiment of the present invention, based on the foregoing embodiment shown in FIG. 3, the method may further include:
该 UE当判断出需要切换回 LTE或者需要 LTE进行分流时, 向该第一基 站发送 RRC连接建立请求;  When the UE determines that it needs to switch back to LTE or needs LTE to perform offloading, the UE sends an RRC connection establishment request to the first base station;
该 UE接收该第一基站根据该 RRC连接建立请求所返回的 RRC连接建 立消息,该 RRC连接建立消息包括该第一基站对应的 wifi分流配置信息和切 换策略。  The UE receives the RRC connection setup message returned by the first base station according to the RRC connection setup request, and the RRC connection setup message includes the wifi offload configuration information and the handover policy corresponding to the first base station.
