The objective of the invention is in order to solve wireless telecommunications system by the problem that arbitrarily moves, in order to reach this purpose, the present invention proposes a kind of method of wireless telecommunications system being carried out position limit, its core is: for wireless telecommunications system disposes its positional information of allow using and is kept in the wireless network control apparatus of its ownership, described wireless telecommunications system is when the request access network, detected current location information is reported to described wireless network control apparatus, the current location information that the more described wireless telecommunications system of described wireless network control apparatus reports and be the positional information of its configuration, if be not complementary, then refusing provides service for it, otherwise, enter the regular traffic flow process.

For purpose of the present invention, technical scheme and beneficial effect are described better, be that example describes the present invention with HomeNodeB (being also referred to as HNodeB) adaptive management network below, Fig. 1 is the network architecture diagram of this enforcement.

Wherein HCS (Home NodeB Configuration Server) equipment is as the nucleus equipment of adaptive network, for Home eNodeB Home NodeB provides from installing, self-configuring, business such as software upgrading, HCS provides the configuration to Home NodeB macrocell of living in as the control data corporation of Home NodeB system simultaneously.

Provide interface between HCS and the RNC, obtain the macro cell message that Home NodeB allows the use location from HCS for RNC.

Fig. 2 is the schematic flow sheet of the position limit business of present embodiment, and it comprises the steps: generally

(1) HCS uses the family present position to allow the macro cell message that uses as the HomeNodeB configuration according to UMTS (Universal Mobile Telecommunications System, the unified mobile communcations system) network planning and Home NodeB.

(2) RNC obtains configuration macro cell message and the storage of its subordinate's Home NodeB by the interface with HCS.

(3) after Home NodeB starts, detect wireless network environment, the macro cell message at its current place is reported ownership RNC by scan report.

(4) RNC relatively allows the macrocell of use location configuration and the macrocell that HomeNodeB scanning reports for Home NodeB, judge that macrocell that Home NodeB detects is whether in the macrocell scope of described configuration, if the macrocell that detects exceeds the scope that disposes macrocell, then refusing provides the wireless access service for it; Otherwise the end position limit service enters the normal communication operation flow.

Configuration for macrocell need to prove, because Home NodeB may be at the edge of macrocell, therefore the macrocell position possibility of a Home NodeB permission is more than one.For this situation, dispose the macrocell of a plurality of permissions can for Home NodeB.

Below in conjunction with application example location limit method of the present invention is described in further detail.

1) disposes the macrocell ID that Home NodeB allows the use location at HCS, promptly dispose the macrocell sign, from the network planning scheme of operator, obtain UMTS network planning information, when using the present position of family to open Home NodeB business in operator, Home NodeB obtains in the information of user's registration, can determine Home NodeB configuration macrocell ID in conjunction with both, for example Home NodeB5 macrocell of living in is sub-district 3;

2) each Home NodeB all has the radio network controller (RNC) of its ownership, and RNC obtains the macrocell configuration information of its subordinate's Home NodeB by the interface with HCS, and stores the configuration macrocell ID of the Home NodeB of its ownership in the RNC side.For example the configuration macrocell of Home NodeB5 is sub-district 3;

3) Home NodeB powers on and after self check passes through, scan its wireless environment, form scan report, this scan report comprises detected macrocell identification list, as adjacency macrocell ID, and the carrier frequency of each macrocell, the PLMN of each macrocell (Public Land Mobile Network, public land mobile network), the RSSI of each macrocell (Received Signal Strength Indication, the indication of received signal intensity), the scrambler of each red sub-district.For example Home NodeB 5 scanning discovery Neighboring Cell List are sub-district 3;

4) Home NodeB initiatively is reported to RNC under it with scan report, and for example HomeNodeB 5 scanning discovery Neighboring Cell List are sub-district 3;

5) after RNC receives the scan report that Home NodeB initiatively reports, relatively the configuration macrocell of Home NodeB tabulation scope and Home NodeB scan the macrocell tabulation that reports, the foundation of judging is: the macrocell tabulation that Home NodeB detects should be the subclass of the macrocell tabulation scope obtained of RNC, if the macrocell that discovery Home NodeB detects is not in the macrocell scope that RNC learned, think that then Home NodeB surpasses the restriction of the scope of application, refusal provides the wireless access service for it, for example find that the tabulation of Home NodeB 5 reporting neighboring cells is sub-district 3, and the macrocell of configuration is sub-district 2, and then refusal provides the wireless access service.If the macrocell that discovery Home NodeB detects is in the macrocell scope that RNC learned, then enter the regular traffic flow process, for example find that the tabulation of HomeNodeB 5 reporting neighboring cells is sub-district 2, and the macrocell of configuration also is sub-district 2, then enters the regular traffic flow process.
