Description

一种RRC连接释放方法、装置及设备 技术领域
本发明涉及通信技术领域,特别是涉及一种RRC连接释放方法、装置及设备。
背景技术
用户设备(User Equipment,UE)在空口有两种无线资源控制(Radio Resource Control,RRC)状态:空闲态(IDLE)和连接态(Connected)。当UE需要进行业务传输时,首先需要与网络侧设备建立连接,即RRC连接建立,UE从空闲态进入到连接态,然后进行业务数据的传输。当UE完成业务数据传输后,处于连接态的UE如果长时间没有数据传输,不活动定时器(inactivity timer)超时,UE需要与网络侧设备释放RRC连接,即RRC连接释放,UE从连接态进入到空闲态。当有下行数据到达或上行数据到达时,UE需要重新建立RRC连接,以及在完成数据传输后,UE如果长时间没有数据传输,不活动定时器超时,UE需要释放RRC连接,因此,在UE的空口状态转换过程中,即空闲态和连接态之间的转换过程中会产生较多的信令开销。
蜂窝物联网(Cellular Internet of Things,CIoT)是基于长期演进***(Long Term Evolution,LTE)的新技术,对数据速率要求不高,能提供更大的覆盖增益和联接能力。在CIoT中,终端数量巨大,主要进行小包传输,即终端传输的数据包较小。随着通讯需求的频繁增长和终端数量的增加,RRC连接建立和RRC连接释放所造成的信令开销数量将会出现更加明显地增长,网络侧设备也需要更多的处理资源来处理这些控制信令,进而导致网络侧设备超负荷。
现有技术中,已经有针对UE和eNB在RRC连接建立过程中如何减少RRC信令开销的方法,具体的,UE和eNB在RRC连接被释放后,双方仍然 保留UE的上下文信息。当有下行数据到达或上行数据到达时,UE需要重新进入连接态,UE和eNB分别使用存储的UE上下文信息进行RRC连接建立。采用这种方法在UE与eNB的RRC连接建立过程中,无需再进行安全激活、承载建立等操作,从而减少RRC连接建立过程中的信令开销,并减轻了网络负载。在UE完成数据传输后,UE如果长时间没有数据传输,不活动定时器超时,UE释放RRC连接,保存本次连接的上下文信息,但是在RRC连接释放过程中还是会造成大量的信令开销。

基站接收每个UE上报UE的类型和/或业务类型,基站接收至少两个UE发送的数据包,基站根据每个UE对应上报的UE的类型和/或业务类型,对满足预设条件的UE的数据包进行级联。
预设条件是指针对特定UE或特定的业务。基站将级联后的数据包通过在公共的通道上进行传输。该公共的通道可以是默认承载建立过程中建成的, 基站选择其中一条默认承载的通道作为公共的通道,或者,基站在确定UE满足预设条件后请求建立一条新的承载通道。
基站对满足预设条件的不同UE的数据包进行级联时,基于UE的IP地址识别不同UE的数据包或者基于UE的GTP IP+GTP TEID识别不同UE的数据包。
在基站将满足预设条件的不同UE的数据包进行级联之前,基站接收MME发送的携带每个UE的IP地址的通知消息。
因此,本发明实施例中基站将不同UE的数据包进行级联,然后将级联后的数据包放在公共的通道上进行传输,减少了传输负荷且提高传输效率。
eNB和UE保留UE的上下文信息,包括RRC配置,承载配置,安全上下文等,以及加入预设的寻呼相关信息,包括用户标识、TA Lists、UE默认的寻呼周期及eNB在***消息中的广播寻呼周期
eNB根据上下文信息中记录的预设的寻呼相关信息便能根据用户标识确定待寻呼的UE,以及根据TA Lists确定寻呼区域,并从UE默认的寻呼周期和***消息中的广播寻呼周期两者中选择较小的寻呼周期用来确定eNB在空口寻呼UE的时机。当寻呼时机到达时,eNB给该UE发送寻呼消息。
本发明实施例提供的方法,解决了针对静止的UE,UE释放RRC连接后,eNB与MME间的S1接口可能保持连接,当S1接口保持连接时,MME不再给eNB发送寻呼消息,此时eNB无法在空口寻呼UE的问题。
本发明有益效果如下:UE向基站发送第一消息,第一消息携带预设的RRC释放时间确定参数或第一RRC释放时间;若UE在第一消息中携带第一RRC释放时间,UE根据第一RRC释放时间设置第一定时器的定时时长并启动第一定时器;或者若UE在第一消息中携带预设的RRC释放时间确定参数,UE接收基站针对第一消息反馈的响应消息,其中,响应消息携带基站根据预设的RRC释放时间确定参数确定的第二RRC释放时间;UE根据第二RRC释放时间设置第一定时器的定时时长并启动第一定时器;UE在第一定时器超时时释放RRC连接,极大地节省了RRC释放过程中的信令开销。基站根据 第一消息确定第二定时器的定时时长,以及向MME发送携带第二定时器的定时时长的指示信息。UE、基站和MME根据RRC释放时间分别设置第一定时器、第二定时器和第三定时器,当UE确定第一定时器超时时,UE释放RRC连接;当基站确定第二定时器超时时,释放与UE之间的RRC连接;当MME确定第三定时器超时时,确定UE释放RRC连接,极大地节省了RRC释放过程中的信令开销。
UE向基站发送第一消息,携带UE是否需要接收下行数据的指示信息。当UE不需要接收下行数据时,UE发送待发送上行数据至基站,并在最后一个上行数据包中携带Endmarker指示包,UE在发送完最后一个上行数据包后,释放RRC连接,同时,基站根据指示信息确定UE不需要接收下行数据时,解析到接收的上行数据包中包含Endmarker指示包后,释放与UE之间的RRC连接;和/或当UE在需要接收下行数据时,在待发送上行数据发送完成后,UE接收下行数据,并在解析到接收的下行数据包中包含Endmarker指示包后,释放RRC连接。同时,基站根据指示信息确定UE需要接收下行数据时,将携带Endmarker指示包的最后一个下行数据包发送至UE后,释放与UE之间的RRC连接,极大地节省了RRC释放过程中的信令开销。
UE上报携带UE的应用层协议类型的应用消息至网络侧设备,在与网络侧设备完成针对应用层协议类型需要交互的所有数据包后,释放RRC连接;网络侧设备根据应用层协议类型,确定应用层协议类型对应的传输数据包的个数,并针对该应用层协议类型的传输数据包计数,当达到应用层协议类型对应的传输数据包的个数时,网络侧设备释放与UE之间的RRC连接,极大地节省了RRC释放过程中的信令开销。

具体实施方式
为使本发明实施例的目的、技术方案和优点更加清楚,下面将结合本发明实施例中的附图,对本发明实施例中的技术方案进行清楚、完整地描述,显然,所描述的实施例是本发明一部分实施例,而不是全部的实施例。基于本发明中的实施例,本领域普通技术人员在没有做出创造性劳动前提下所获得的所有其他实施例,都属于本发明保护的范围。
本发明实施例提供一种RRC连接释放方法、装置及设备,用以解决在RRC连接释放流程中所需信令数较多,导致网络负载较重的问题。其中,方法和装置是基于同一发明构思的,由于方法及装置解决问题的原理相似,因此装置与方法的实施可以相互参见,重复之处不再赘述。
下面结合附图对本发明优选的实施方式进行详细说明。
本发明实施例的主要应用场景为长期演进(Long term evolution,LTE)***,该***的***架构如图1所示,该***中主要包含的网元有:基站(Evolution Node B,eNB),移动管理实体(Mobility Management Entity,MME),服务网关(Serving Gateway,S-GW)和分组数据网络网关(PDN Gateway,P-GW)。
参阅图2所示,为本发明实施例提供的一种RRC连接释放概述流程图A1。
下面结合附图对本发明实施例的具体实施过程进行说明。
步骤210:UE向基站发送第一消息。
第一消息携带预设的RRC释放时间确定参数或第一RRC释放时间。
这里的第一RRC请求消息可以为一种新的消息,也可以携带在现有的RRC连接请求消息中。
预设的RRC释放时间确定参数为UE的待发送上行数据的数据量和/或待发送上行数据的发送预估时间。
步骤220:若UE在第一消息中携带第一RRC释放时间,UE根据第一RRC释放时间设置第一定时器的定时时长,并启动第一定时器;或者若UE在第一消息中携带预设的RRC释放时间确定参数,UE接收基站针对第一消息反馈的响应消息,其中,响应消息携带基站根据预设的RRC释放时间确定参数确定的第二RRC释放时间;UE根据第二RRC释放时间设置第一定时器的定时时长,并启动第一定时器;
其中,该响应消息携带基站根据UE发送的待发送上行数据的数据量和/或待发送上行数据的发送预估时间确定的第二RRC释放时间。
这里的的响应消息可以为一种新的消息,也可以携带在现有的RRC建立消息中。
步骤230:UE在第一定时器超时时,释放RRC连接。
此外,UE在第一定时器超时之前,UE还可以根据自身需要上报缓冲状态报告(Buffer Status Report,BSR)至基站,其中,BSR用于指示基站对第二定时器的定时时长,其中,第二定时器的定时时长是基站根据UE发送的第一消息设置的
UE接收基站回复的第一调整指示,例如,该指示中携带调整后的最新第二定时器的定时时长或者时间调整量△T。UE根据第一调整指示,调整第一定时器的定时时长。
例如,BSR在UE进行上行数据传输时上报,eNB根据BSR相应地调整第二定时器的定时时长,例如第二定时器的定时时长需要延长10S,并将该值通过第一调整指示通知UE,UE根据该指示调整第一定时器的定时时长,即第一定时器的定时时长加10S。
因此,UE在超时前,恢复与基站之间的RRC连接,重新进入连接态的UE进行上行数据发送,在UE确定超时后,释放RRC连接,节省了RRC释放过程中的信令开销。
参阅图3所示,为本发明实施例提供的一种RRC连接释放概述流程图A2。
步骤310:基站接收UE发送的第一消息。
第一消息携带预设的RRC释放时间确定参数或第一RRC释放时间。
预设的RRC释放时间确定参数为UE的待发送上行数据的数据量和/或待发送上行数据的发送预估时间。
这里的第一RRC请求消息可以为一种新的消息,也可以携带在现有的RRC连接请求消息中。
步骤320:若基站确定第一消息中携带第一RRC释放时间,基站根据第一RRC释放时间设置第二定时器的定时时长,并启动第二定时器;或者若基站确定第一消息中携带预设的RRC释放时间确定参数,基站根据预设的RRC释放时间确定参数确定第二RRC释放时间,并在针对第一消息反馈给UE的响应消息中携带第二RRC释放时间;基站根据第二RRC释放时间设置第二定时器的定时时长,并启动第二定时器。
例如,基站在确定第二RRC释放时间时,可以根据待发送上行数据的数据量确定UE发送上行数据需要的时间,并将确定的发送上行数据需要的时间作为第二RRC释放时间。
又例如,基站在确定第二RRC释放时间时,根据待发送上行数据的发送预估时间直接确定为RRC释放时间,或者,将该预估时间增加预设的时延作为第二RRC释放时间。
这里的响应消息可以为一种新的消息,也可以携带在现有的RRC建立消息中。
此外,基站反馈该响应消息至UE之后,接收UE发送的针对响应消息的确认消息,这里的确认消息可以为一种新的消息,也可以携带在现有的RRC连接建立完成消息中。
在基站接收UE发送的针对响应消息的确认消息后,基站发送S1恢复连接指示信息至MME,该S1恢复连接指示信息携带第二定时器的定时时长。
进一步地,基站接收MME发送的S1连接恢复的确认指示信息,根据该S1连接恢复的确认指示确定基站与MME之间的S1连接已恢复。
步骤330:基站在第二定时器超时时,基站释放与UE之间的RRC连接。
此外,基站在第二定时器超时之前,若基站接收到UE上报的BSR,则根据BSR对第二定时器的定时时长调整,并生成第一调整指示回复至UE,以及第二调整指示通知给MME。
因此,基站在超时前,恢复与UE之间的RRC连接,接收重新进入连接态的UE发送的上行数据,在基站确定超时后,释放与UE之间的RRC连接,节省了RRC释放过程中的信令开销。
参阅图4所示,为本发明实施例提供的一种RRC连接释放概述流程图A3。
步骤410:MME接收基站发送的S1连接恢复指示信息。
S1连接恢复指示信息携带第二定时器的定时时长,其中,第二定时器的定时时长是基站根据UE发送的第一消息设置的,第一消息携带预设的RRC释放时间确定参数或第一RRC释放时间。
在MME接收基站发送的S1连接恢复指示信息后,MME根据该S1连接恢复指示信息恢复与基站之间的S1连接,然后向基站发送S1连接恢复的确认指示信息。
步骤420:MME根据第二定时器的定时时长设置第三定时器的定时时长,并启动第三定时器;
步骤430:MME在第三定时器超时时,确定UE释放RRC连接。
MME在第三定时器超时之前,若MME接收到基站发送的第二调整指示,则根据第二调整指示调整第三定时器的定时时长。
参阅图5所示,为本发明实施例提供的RRC连接释放的具体流程图A4。
在UE上次释放RRC连接后,UE和eNB都会保留UE的上下文信息,当有下行数据到达(网络触发)或上行数据到达(UE触发)时,UE需要重新建立RRC连接。在UE与eNB的随机接入完成后:
步骤501:UE发送RRC连接请求消息至eNB,该请求消息中携带UE的待发送上行数据的数据量。
步骤502:eNB根据UE的待发送上行数据的数据量计算RRC释放时间,并将该RRC释放时间携带在RRC建立消息中发送至UE,以及根据RRC释放时间设置第二定时器,并启动第二定时器。
步骤503:UE根据接收到的RRC建立消息中携带的RRC释放时间,设置第一定时器,并启动第一定时器,以及向eNB发送RRC连接建立完成消息。
步骤504:eNB在接收到RRC连接建立完成消息后,发送S1连接恢复指示信息至MME,并在该S1连接恢复指示信息中携带RRC释放时间。
步骤505:MME回复S1连接恢复的确认指示消息至eNB,恢复与eNB之间的S1连接,以及根据RRC释放时间设置第三定时器,并启动第三定时器。
步骤506:UE发送待发送上行数据至网络侧设备。
步骤507:UE确定第一定时器超时,UE释放RRC连接;以及eNB确定第二定时器超时,释放与UE之间的RRC连接;以及MME确定第三定时器超时,确定UE释放RRC连接。
此外,在UE释放RRC连接时,UE和网络侧设备需要保留UE本次连接的上下文信息。
因此,UE发起RRC连接的重新恢复时,将RRC释放时间,在RRC连接的建立过程中进行配置,UE根据RRC释放时间进行定时,并在超时后释放RRC连接,网络侧设备也根据RRC释放时间进行定时,在超时后释放与UE之间的RRC连接,节省了RRC连接释放过程中的信令开销。
参阅图6所示,为本发明实施例提供的一种RRC连接释放概述流程图B1。
步骤610:UE向基站发送第一消息。
第一消息携带UE是否需要接收下行数据的指示信息。这里的第一消息可以为一种新的消息,也可以携带在现有的RRC连接请求消息中。
步骤620:UE在不需要接收下行数据时,发送待发送上行数据至基站, 并在最后一个上行数据包中携带端点标记Endmarker指示包,UE在发送完最后一个上行数据包后,释放RRC连接;和/或UE在需要接收下行数据时,在待发送上行数据发送完成后,接收下行数据,并在解析到接收的下行数据包中包含Endmarker指示包后,释放RRC连接。
具体的,这里包含两种情况:
第一种情况:UE不需要接收下行数据,即UE只发送上行数据,不接收下行数据。
此时,UE在恢复RRC连接后,UE在最后一个上行数据包中携带Endmarker指示包,即UE在待发送上行数据的最后一个上行数据包的分组数据汇聚协议(Packet Data Convergence Protocol,PDCP)头上或介质访问控制(Medium Access Control,MAC)头上携带Endmarker指示包。在完成上行数据的发送后,无需等待下行数据,释放RRC连接。
第二种情况:UE需要接收下行数据,即UE既发送上行数据也接收下行数据。
此时,UE在恢复RRC连接并发送完上行数据后,继续接收下行数据,并解析出下行数据包中包含Endmarker指示包后,释放RRC连接。
参阅图7所示,为本发明实施例提供的一种RRC连接释放概述流程图B2。
步骤710:基站接收UE发送的第一消息。
第一消息携带UE是否需要接收下行数据的指示信息。这里的第一消息可以为一种新的消息,也可以携带在现有的RRC连接请求消息中。
步骤720:基站确定指示信息指示UE不需要接收下行数据时,接收UE发送的待发送上行数据,并在解析到接收的上行数据包中包含Endmarker指示包后,释放与UE之间的RRC连接;和/或基站确定指示信息指示UE需要接收下行数据,在UE发送的待发送上行数据接收完成后,继续发送下行数据至UE,并在发送到最后一个下行数据包时,在最后一个下行数据包中携带Endmarker指示包,并将携带Endmarker指示包的最后一个下行数据包发送至 UE后,基站释放与UE之间的RRC连接。
具体的,对应UE侧,在eNB侧也包含两种情况:
第一种情况:基站确定指示信息指示UE不需要接收下行数据。
在确认RRC连接建立完成后,基站接收UE发送的上行数据,在从UE发送的上行数据中解析出Endmarker指示包后,基站释放与UE之间的RRC连接。基站将接收到的待发送上行数据发送至S-GW,在待发送上行数据的最后一个上行数据包的通用分组无线服务技术隧道协议(GPRS Tunnelling Protocol,GTP)头上携带Endmarker指示包发往S-GW。
第二种情况:基站确定指示信息指示UE需要接收下行数据。
在确认RRC连接建立完成后,基站接收UE发送的上行数据,在UE发送的待发送上行数据接收完成后,继续接收S-GW发送的下行数据并发往UE,基站在从S-GW发送的下行数据中解析出Endmarker指示包后,确认已接收到最后一个下行数据包。基站将在最后一个下行数据包的PDCP头上或MAC头上携带Endmarker指示包,将携带Endmarker指示包的最后一个下行数据包发送至UE后,基站释放与UE之间的RRC连接。
参阅图8所示,为本发明实施例提供的一种RRC连接释放具体流程图B3。
在UE上次释放RRC连接后,UE和eNB都会保留UE的上下文信息,当有下行数据到达(网络触发)或上行数据到达(UE触发)时,UE需要重新建立RRC连接。在UE与eNB的随机接入完成后:
步骤801:UE发送RRC连接请求消息至eNB,该请求消息中携带UE不需要接收下行数据的指示信息。
步骤802:eNB将RRC建立消息发送至UE。
步骤803:UE向eNB发送RRC连接建立完成消息。
步骤804:eNB在接收到RRC连接建立完成消息后,发送S1连接恢复指示信息至MME,并在该S1连接恢复指示信息中携带UE不需要接收下行数据的指示信息。
步骤805:MME回复S1连接恢复的确认指示消息至eNB,表明MME与eNB之间的S1连接已恢复。
步骤806:UE发送待发送上行数据至网络侧设备。
步骤807:UE在最后一个上行数据包中携带Endmarker指示包,UE在发送完最后一个上行数据包后,释放RRC连接;以及eNB解析出到接收的上行数据包中包含Endmarker指示包后,释放与UE之间的RRC连接;以及MME确定UE释放RRC连接。
MME和S-GW可以为组合在一起的设备,或者,两个网元之间有接口相连,当S-GW解析出接收的上行数据包中包含Endmarker指示包时,确定UE释放RRC连接,并将该消息通知给MME。
此外,在UE释放RRC连接时,UE和网络侧设备需要保留UE本次连接的上下文信息。
因此,UE在上行数据的最后一个上行数据包中携带Endmarker指示包,在UE发送完携带Endmarker指示包的最后一包上行数据时,释放RRC连接,网络侧设备也根据上行数据中解析到的Endmarker指示包,释放与UE之间的RRC连接,节省了RRC连接释放过程中的信令开销。
参阅图9所示,为本发明实施例提供的一种RRC连接释放具体流程图B4。
在UE上次释放RRC连接后,UE和eNB都会保留UE的上下文信息,当有下行数据到达(网络触发)或上行数据到达(UE触发)时,UE需要重新建立RRC连接。在UE与eNB的随机接入完成后:
步骤901:UE发送RRC连接请求消息至eNB,该请求消息中携带UE需要接收下行数据的指示信息。
步骤902:eNB将RRC建立消息发送至UE。
步骤903:UE向eNB发送RRC连接建立完成消息。

MME和S-GW可以为组合在一起的设备,或者,两个网元之间有接口相连,当S-GW发送完携带Endmarker指示包的最后一个下行数据包时,确定UE释放RRC连接,并将该消息通知给MME。
此外,在UE释放RRC连接时,UE和网络侧设备需要保留UE本次连接的上下文信息。
因此,UE发送完上行数据后,接收下行数据,并在下行数据中解析出Endmarker指示包后,释放RRC连接;以及eNB接收UE发送的上行数据,转发下行数据至UE,在最后一个下行数据包中携带Endmarker指示包,并将携带Endmarker指示包的最后一个下行数据包发送至UE后,释放与UE之间的RRC连接,节省了RRC连接释放过程中的信令开销。

步骤1010:UE上报应用消息至网络侧设备,应用消息携带UE的应用层协议类型。
其中,应用层协议类型为超文本传输协议(Hyper Text Transfer Protocol,HTTP)、传输控制协议(Transmission Control Protocol,TCP)、用户数据报协议(User Datagram Protocol,UDP)等。
参阅图11所示,为HTTP/TCP的标准协议流程。HTTP是一个基于请求 和响应模式的协议,通常,客户端发起请求,建立一个到服务器指定端口的TCP连接。服务器则在端口监听客户端发送的请求,一旦收到请求,向客户端发回一个响应消息。TCP是面向连接的可靠协议,为保证传输的可靠性,接收端对已成功收到的数据发相应的确认(ACK),若发送端在合理的往返时延内未收到确认,则对应的数据将被重传。其中,面向连接意味着客户端和服务器在交换数据包前须建立一个TCP连接,TCP连接成功建立后,可以开始传输数据。
参阅图12所示,为UDP的标准协议流程。UDP是无连接的协议,不对传输的数据包进行可靠性保证,具有资源消耗小、处理速度快的优点。
步骤1020:UE在与网络侧设备完成针对应用层协议类型需要交互的所有数据包后,释放RRC连接。
因此,UE根据应用层协议类型的标准协议流程,完成对应应用层协议类型需要交互的所有数据包后,释放RRC连接。
如图11所示,当UE使用TCP/HTTP的应用层协议时,为完成数据传输,UE首先向域名***解析(Domain Name System,DNS)服务器发起DNS请求,DNS服务器根据域名解出地址后回复给UE,然后UE使用三次握手协议建立TCP连接,三次握手完成后,UE便开始传输数据,服务器收到TCP数据后会回复TCP ACK,HTTP协议层会产生HTTP 200OK发给UE,UE收到后给服务器回复TCP ACK,数据传输结束后需释放TCP连接。UE在完成TCP/HTTP需要交互的所有数据包后,释放RRC连接,
由图11和图12可知,当UE采用不同的应用层协议时完成数据传输所需要的信令数也不一样。
参阅图13所示,为本发明实施例提供的一种RRC连接释放概述流程图C2。
步骤1310:网络侧设备接收UE上报的应用消息,应用消息携带UE的应用层协议类型。
这里的网络侧设备可以是eNB,也可以是MME。
步骤1320:网络侧设备根据应用层协议类型,确定应用层协议类型对应的传输数据包的个数;
例如,如图11所示,UE上报应用层协议类型为TCP/HTTP时,eNB根据TCP/HTTP的标准协议流程确定UE需要发送6个消息,需要接收5个消息。
步骤1330:网络侧设备处理UE针对应用层协议类型传输的数据包,并记录处理的数据包个数。
例如,eNB根据TCP/HTTP的标准协议流程确定UE需要发送6个消息,需要接收5个消息后,对UE完成TCP/HTTP标准流程的情况进行记录,可以记录UE发送多少个消息,接收多少个消息,或只记录UE接收多少个消息。
步骤1340:当网络侧设备确定记录的数据包个数达到应用层协议类型对应的传输数据包的个数时,网络侧设备释放与UE之间的RRC连接。
例如,当eNB确定UE针对TCP/HTTP已经发送6个消息,接收5个消息后,释放与UE之间的RRC连接。
又例如,如图12所示,当UE使用UDP协议时,UE也需先完成DNS解析,UE得知服务器地址后便进行数据的传输,由于UDP不保证数据传输的可靠性,服务器不会进行相应的确认回复,HTTP协议层会产生HTTP 200OK作为UDP数据发给UE,UE收到后也不会进行相应的确认回复。UE上报应用层协议类型为UDP时,eNB根据UDP的标准协议流程确定UE需要发送2个消息,需要接收2个消息,因此,可以在记录UE接收消息的个数为2时,释放与UE之间的RRC连接。
此外,随着技术的发展,可能出现一种极端的情况,UE只需要发送一次消息,即UE只将上行数据包发给服务器后就结束数据包的传输,释放RRC连接,相应地,网络侧设备在处理一个数据包后释放与UE之间的RRC连接。
因此,从上述实施例可知,网络侧设备根据UE上报的应用层协议类型得知完成该应用层协议类型所需传输的数据包个数,即UE需要接收及发送的数据包个数,并对UE接收及发送的数据包进行计数,确定到达该应用层协议类 型规定的数据包个数时,确定UE释放RRC连接,从而减少了RRC连接释放过程中的信令开销及网络资源的负载。
现有技术中,图14是S1接口用户面协议栈示意图,S1-U接口提供了eNB和S-GW间的用户面数据的非保障传输。GTP-U位于UDP层和IP层之上用于传输用户面协议数据单元(PDU,Protocol Data Unit)。每个UE的每个承载需要一个GTP-U通道进行传输,即每个UE的每个数据包经过上层的相应处理后传递至GTP-U层,再经过GTP-U层相应的处理传递至下层。图15中,在S1-U协议栈进行传输时,假设应用层服务数据单元(Service Data Unit,SDU)的大小为30字节,加上TCP/IP头后,数据帧的大小为70字节,该数据帧传至GTP层加上GTP头后变为78字节,再往下传至UDP层加上UDP头后变为86字节,因此,数据帧每往下层传输,帧的大小都会增大,由图15可知最终数据帧大小为202字节,因此远大于实际要传输的30字节,由此可知,当多个UE在S1-U传输数据时会导致S1-U的传输负荷较高且传输效率低。
为了提高S1-U的传输效率,基站接收每个UE上报UE的类型和/或业务类型,基站接收多个UE发送的数据包,基站根据每个UE对应上报的UE的类型和/或业务类型,对满足预设条件的UE的数据包进行级联,这里主要针对待传输的数据包较小时才进行级联操作,因此,预设条件是针对特定UE或特定的业务。基站将级联后的数据包通过在公共的通道上进行传输。该公共的通道可以是默认承载建立过程中建成的,基站选择其中一条默认承载的通道作为公共的通道,或者,基站在确定UE满足预设条件后请求建立一条新的承载通道。
进一步地,基站对满足预设条件的不同UE的数据包进行级联时,还需要对接收到的每个UE的数据包进行识别,即通过UE的标识来识别不同的UE。可以有以下两种但不限于以下两种方法:
(1)基于UE的IP地址识别不同UE的数据包。
现有技术中,在默认承载的建立过程中,P-GW会给每一个UE分配一个唯一的IP地址,该IP地址是一个端到端的地址,只有UE和MME知道该地 址,而eNB无法得知。
因此,为了让eNB基于UE的IP地址来区分不同UE的数据包,MME需要将每个UE的IP地址通知给eNB,即在基站将满足预设条件的不同UE的数据包进行级联之前,基站接收MME发送的携带每个UE的IP地址的通知消息。这样,在数据传输时,eNB和SGW便能基于级联后的数据包里每个小包后紧跟的IP地址来识别UE。eNB将多个UE的数据包级联后在公共的GTP-U通道上传输。如表1所示,eNB将不同UE的数据包进行级联后的格式为:
表1
Figure PCTCN2015098406-appb-000001
(2)基于UE的GTP IP+GTP TEID识别不同UE的数据包。
GTP通道端点标识(Tunnel Endpoint Identifier,TEID),用于eNB和S-GW之间的用户面传输。现有技术中,在默认承载的建立过程中,eNB可获知S-GW端分配的GTP IP和GTP TEID,eNB和S-GW间能通过GTP IP+GTP TEID来区分不同的UE。eNB将多个UE的数据包级联后在公共的GTP-U通道上传输,因此可基于级联后的数据包里每个小包后紧跟的GTP IP+GTP TEID来识别不同的UE。如表2所示,eNB将不同UE的数据包进行级联后的格式为:
表2
Figure PCTCN2015098406-appb-000002
参阅图16所示,为本发明实施例中eNB对UE上报的数据包进行级联并传输的流程图。
步骤1601:UE1和UE2上报UE的类型/业务类型给eNB。
步骤1602:UE1和UE2发送上行数据给eNB。
步骤1603:eNB根据两个UE的上报的信息判断出UE1和UE2为特殊的 类型,如CIoT中的小包传输,满足预设条件,UE1和UE2的上行数据进行级联,得到级联数据包。
步骤1604:eNB将级联数据包通过S1-U进行传输。
步骤1605:S-GW发送针对该级联数据包的确认消息。
因此,本实施例中基站将不同UE的数据包进行级联,然后将级联后的数据包放在公共的通道上进行传输,减少了传输负荷且提高传输效率。
此外,现有技术中,当网络侧要给UE发送下行数据时,由于S-GW和P-GW之间的S5用户面承载一直存在,下行数据可以一直转发给S-GW。S-GW在收到下行数据后,通过下行数据通知Downlink Data Notification消息通知MME网络侧有下行消息需要发送给UE,触发MME发送寻呼消息。MME向UE所在的跟踪区域列表(Tracking Area List,TA List)内的全部eNB发送寻呼消息,该寻呼消息中携带有SAE临时移动站标识(SAE Temporary Mobile Station Identifier SAE Temporary Mobile Station Identifier,S-TMSI)、TA Lists及UE默认的寻呼周期,同时eNB在***消息中也会有广播寻呼周期,eNB会在UE默认的寻呼周期和***消息中的广播寻呼周期两者中选择较小的寻呼周期用来计算eNB在空口寻呼UE的时机,当寻呼UE的时机到达时,eNB给UE发送寻呼消息。
但是,在UE释放RRC连接后,eNB与MME间的S1接口可能保持连接,当S1接口保持连接时,MME不再给eNB发送寻呼消息,此时eNB无法在空口寻呼UE。
针对处于静态的UE,本实施例给出了eNB确定空口寻呼UE的方案。现有技术中,UE释放RRC连接后,eNB和UE保留UE的上下文信息,包括RRC配置,承载配置,安全上下文等,本发明实施例中保存的上下文信息中加入预设的寻呼相关信息,包括用户标识、TA Lists、UE默认的寻呼周期及eNB在***消息中的广播寻呼周期,此时,eNB根据上下文信息中记录的预设的寻呼相关信息便能根据用户标识确定待寻呼的UE,即在空口寻呼哪个UE,以及根据TA Lists确定寻呼区域,并从UE默认的寻呼周期和***消息 中的广播寻呼周期两者中选择较小的寻呼周期用来确定eNB在空口寻呼UE的时机。当寻呼时机到达时,eNB给该UE发送寻呼消息。
