背景技术Background technique
图1为现有支持中继(RN)的LTE结构示意图,如图1所示,在LTE系统的无线接入网络中,无线资源管理实体包括宏基站(eNB)101和中继102,RN通过另外一个宏基站(DeNB)103接入核心网络。其中,eNB 101之间通过X2接口相连,每个eNB 101分别通过S1接口与核心网中的移动管理实体(MME)和服务网管(S-GW)104相连;RN 102通过Un接口接入DeNB 103。DeNB 103提供了RN 102和其他eNB之间的X2代理(proxy)功能。DeNB 103提供了RN 102和MME/S-GW 104之间的S1代理(proxy)功能。S1和X2的代理功能包括在RN 102和eNB 101、RN 102和MME 104之间传输UE专用的X2和S1信令,以及在RN 102和S-GW 104之间传输。FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of an existing LTE structure supporting a relay (RN). As shown in FIG. Another macro base station (DeNB) 103 accesses the core network. Among them, the eNBs 101 are connected through the X2 interface, and each eNB 101 is respectively connected to the mobile management entity (MME) and the serving network management (S-GW) 104 in the core network through the S1 interface; the
图1是目前固定中继的结构图。S1,X2和Un接口终止于固定中继。DeNB提供了RN和DeNB之间,RN和其他节点,比如MME,其他的eNB,S1和X2的proxy功能。Proxy功能包含:在S1和X2接口上传输UE专用S1和X2消息,传输RN和DeNB、RN和其它网络节点之间的GTP数据包。由于proxy功能,在RN看来,DeNB就是MME、其他eNB和S-GW的功能的结合体。Fig. 1 is a structural diagram of a fixed relay at present. The S1, X2 and Un interfaces terminate at fixed trunks. DeNB provides the proxy function between RN and DeNB, RN and other nodes, such as MME, other eNBs, S1 and X2. Proxy functions include: transmitting UE-specific S1 and X2 messages on S1 and X2 interfaces, transmitting GTP data packets between RN and DeNB, RN and other network nodes. Due to the proxy function, in the view of the RN, the DeNB is a combination of functions of the MME, other eNBs and the S-GW.
RN连接到DeNB的过程分成了两个阶段。The process of RN connecting to DeNB is divided into two stages.
阶段一:RN的预配置阶段。Phase 1: RN pre-configuration phase.
RN作为一个UE,附着在E-UTRAN/EPC,附着过程和普通UE的附着过程一样,MME把RN当作普通UE为它选择S-GW和P-GW。服务RN的MME叫做RN-MME,从RN操作维护得到最初始的配置参数,配置参数至少包含RN可以连接的DeNB小区的列表。当过程结束,RN通过去附着过程离开网络,进入到阶段二。As a UE, RN attaches to E-UTRAN/EPC. The attachment process is the same as that of ordinary UE. MME regards RN as an ordinary UE and selects S-GW and P-GW for it. The MME that serves the RN is called RN-MME, and obtains the initial configuration parameters from the operation and maintenance of the RN. The configuration parameters at least include a list of DeNB cells that the RN can connect to. When the process ends, the RN leaves the network through the detachment process and enters phase two.
阶段二:RN的工作阶段。Phase 2: RN's working phase.
RN从预配置的DeNB的小区列表中选择一个DeNB开始进入正常工作状态。当DeNB发起了S1/X2承载建立后,RN发起和DeNB之间的S1/X2承载建立。DeNB可能会发起RN的RRC重配置过程去更新RN的参数。The RN selects a DeNB from the pre-configured cell list of the DeNB to enter the normal working state. After the DeNB initiates the establishment of the S1/X2 bearer, the RN initiates the establishment of the S1/X2 bearer between the DeNB and the DeNB. The DeNB may initiate the RRC reconfiguration process of the RN to update the parameters of the RN.
在S1建立之后,如果配置参数改变了,DeNB发起S1的eNB配置更新过程。X2接口建立后,DeNB发起X2 eNB配置更新过程去更新小区的配置信息。这个阶段,RN的小区标识ECGI是由RN OAM配置的。After S1 is established, if the configuration parameters are changed, DeNB initiates the eNB configuration update process of S1. After the X2 interface is established, the DeNB initiates the X2 eNB configuration update process to update the configuration information of the cell. At this stage, the cell identity ECGI of the RN is configured by the RN OAM.
在阶段二,DeNB提供了RN的S-GW/P-GW的功能,包含:为RN建立一个session和管理承载,提供S11的功能。在DeNB上面的P-GW的功能还包括为RN分配IP地址,用户RN和OAM通信。这个地址可能和DeNB的IP地址不同。In phase 2, the DeNB provides the functions of the RN's S-GW/P-GW, including: establishing a session and managing the bearer for the RN, and providing the function of S11. The function of the P-GW on the DeNB also includes assigning an IP address to the RN, and communicating with the user RN and the OAM. This address may be different from the IP address of the DeNB.
RN和DeNB要把信令和数据映射到为RN建立的EPS承载上。映射机制是基于目前定义的UE和P-GW之间的Qos机制。RN and DeNB need to map signaling and data to the EPS bearer established for RN. The mapping mechanism is based on the currently defined Qos mechanism between UE and P-GW.
图2显示了RN的附着过程。这个过程和普通的UE附着过程基本相同,区别在于:Figure 2 shows the RN attachment process. This process is basically the same as the normal UE attach process, the difference is:
1.DeNB在和MME建立S1接口的过程中,通过S1建立响应消息知道哪些MME支持RN功能;1. In the process of establishing the S1 interface with the MME, the DeNB knows which MMEs support the RN function through the S1 establishment response message;
2.在步骤1,RN和DeNB建立RRC连接的过程,RN发送RN指示给DeNB;2. In
3.在步骤4b,在建立S1接口UE上下文的过程中的初始UE消息中,DeNB要发送RN指示和S-GW/P-GW的IP地址给MME;3. In step 4b, in the initial UE message during the process of establishing the S1 interface UE context, the DeNB shall send the RN indication and the IP address of the S-GW/P-GW to the MME;
4.在附着过程中,EPC检查RN是否被认证了,只有当RN是认证的RN,EPC接受附着过程,并且建立和DeNB之间的上下文;否则,EPC拒绝附着过程。4. During the attach process, the EPC checks whether the RN is authenticated. Only when the RN is an authenticated RN, the EPC accepts the attach process and establishes a context with the DeNB; otherwise, the EPC rejects the attach process.
UE通过RN附着在网络,服务UE的MME被称为UE-MME,RN-MME和UE-MME可以是相同的MME,或者是不同的MME。RN的GW,包含SGW和PGW,目前都是和DeNB在同一个实体上。SGW和PGW实现不同的功能,为了描述简单,把它们统称为RN的GW,实际上,它包含两个不同的功能。The UE attaches to the network through the RN, and the MME serving the UE is called UE-MME. The RN-MME and the UE-MME may be the same MME or different MMEs. RN's GW, including SGW and PGW, is currently on the same entity as DeNB. The SGW and the PGW implement different functions. For simplicity of description, they are collectively referred to as the RN's GW. In fact, it includes two different functions.
目前定义的中继是用于固定位置的,不支持中继在不同小区之间的移动性。目前的机制不适用于高速移动的火车的场景。高速火车目前发展很快,移动速度很高,例如250-350公里每小时,高速移动的火车的无线环境比较特殊,例如高噪声,高的穿透损耗,严重的多普勒频率偏移等。现有的中继所提供的服务质量无法满足运营商的需求,移动中继就是要解决上述现有中继存在的问题,提高高速火车上所能提供服务的质量,更好的满足用户的需求。Currently defined relays are used for fixed locations and do not support the mobility of relays between different cells. The current mechanism is not suitable for the scenario of a train moving at high speed. High-speed trains are currently developing rapidly and moving at high speeds, such as 250-350 kilometers per hour. The wireless environment of high-speed trains is relatively special, such as high noise, high penetration loss, and severe Doppler frequency shift. The quality of service provided by the existing relays cannot meet the needs of operators. The mobile relay is to solve the above-mentioned problems existing in the existing relays, improve the quality of services that can be provided on high-speed trains, and better meet the needs of users .
移动中继和固定中继不同的地方是移动中继的DeNB在移动的过程中会改变,而在切换的时候,移动中继的承载、上下文和移动中继的用户都需要切换到目的DeNB之上,而且要保证数据的连续性。目前的协议没有讨论这方面如何支持。需要在目的DeNB与RN-GW间建立用于传输UE信息的用户平面,并实现移动RN与目的DeNB间S1接口的建立,建立移动RN与目的DeNB之间的用户平面,尽量保证RN的切换过程对UE透明。The difference between the mobile relay and the fixed relay is that the DeNB of the mobile relay will change during the process of moving, and at the time of handover, the bearer, context and user of the mobile relay need to be handed over to the destination DeNB. On, but also to ensure the continuity of the data. The current protocol does not discuss how this is supported. It is necessary to establish a user plane for transmitting UE information between the target DeNB and RN-GW, and realize the establishment of the S1 interface between the mobile RN and the target DeNB, establish a user plane between the mobile RN and the target DeNB, and ensure the handover process of the RN as much as possible Transparent to the UE.
本发明涉及了当RN移动的时候,RN如何从在DeNB之间进行切换,UE如何跟着RN一起切换到目的的DeNB,如何建立起来新的和DeNB之间的连接,如何保证数据的连续接收,并且减少切换过程的消息交互,切换过程尽量对UE和核心网透明。The present invention relates to how the RN switches between DeNBs when the RN moves, how the UE switches to the target DeNB together with the RN, how to establish a new connection with the DeNB, and how to ensure continuous data reception. In addition, message interaction in the handover process is reduced, and the handover process is as transparent as possible to the UE and the core network.

用户平面包含三段隧道,分别是UE-GW到RN-GW之间,RN-GW和DeNB之间,DeNB和RN之间。其中,UE-GW和RN-GW之间的隧道在切换的过程中没有改变,从而保证RN的切换过程对UE透明。图3描述了在S1切换过程中实现DeNB与RN-GW间隧道建立的方法流程。该方法流程描述了在RN切换到目的DeNB的时候,发起S1切换过程,在切换需要消息携带UE的S1接口的标识信息、承载信息等,来建立和RN的SGW/PGW(以下称为RN-GW)之间的隧道,用来传输UE的数据。如图3所示,该流程包括:The user plane includes three tunnels, namely between UE-GW and RN-GW, between RN-GW and DeNB, and between DeNB and RN. Wherein, the tunnel between the UE-GW and the RN-GW remains unchanged during the handover process, thereby ensuring that the RN handover process is transparent to the UE. Fig. 3 describes the flow of the method for realizing the establishment of the tunnel between the DeNB and the RN-GW during the S1 handover process. The method flow describes that when the RN is handed over to the target DeNB, the S1 handover process is initiated, and the handover needs to carry the identification information of the UE's S1 interface, bearer information, etc., to establish the SGW/PGW with the RN (hereinafter referred to as RN- The tunnel between GW) is used to transmit the data of UE. As shown in Figure 3, the process includes:

Specifically, the UE information includes the new S1 interface identifier and downlink tunnel information allocated to the UE by the target DeNB.
值得说明的是,也可以在S1切换后建立起来DeNB和RN-GW之间的隧道,此时,在S1切换的过程中,只把UE的标识信息,UE的上下文信息传递到T-DeNB。It is worth noting that the tunnel between the DeNB and the RN-GW can also be established after the S1 handover. At this time, only the identification information of the UE and the context information of the UE are transmitted to the T-DeNB during the S1 handover process.
图4为本发明在X2切换过程中实现DeNB与RN-GW间隧道建立的方法流程。该方法流程描述了在RN切换到目的DeNB的时候,发起X2的切换过程,在切换请求消息携带UE的S1接口的标识信息,承载信息等,来建立起来和RN的SGW/PGW之间的隧道,用来传输UE的数据。如图4所示,该流程包括:Fig. 4 is a flowchart of the method for realizing the establishment of the tunnel between the DeNB and the RN-GW during the X2 handover process of the present invention. The method flow describes that when the RN is handed over to the target DeNB, the X2 handover process is initiated, and the handover request message carries the identification information of the S1 interface of the UE, bearer information, etc., to establish a tunnel with the SGW/PGW of the RN , used to transmit UE data. As shown in Figure 4, the process includes:
步骤401:源DeNB发送切换请求消息给目的DeNB,所述消息包含RN的信息和RN服务的UE的信息,具体来说,UE的信息包含UE的标识,和RN GW分配的上行隧道信息;Step 401: The source DeNB sends a handover request message to the target DeNB, the message includes RN information and UE information served by the RN, specifically, the UE information includes the UE identifier and the uplink tunnel information allocated by the RN GW;
步骤402:目的DeNB发送切换响应消息给源DeNB,所述消息中包含RN的信息和RN服务的UE的信息,具体来说,UE的信息包含目的DeNB为移动RN服务的每个UE分配的新标识和下行隧道信息;Step 402: The target DeNB sends a handover response message to the source DeNB, the message contains the information of the RN and the information of the UE served by the RN, specifically, the information of the UE includes the new UE allocated by the target DeNB for each UE served by the mobile RN.

值得说明的是,也可以在切换后建立起来DeNB和RN-GW之间的隧道,此时,在X2切换的过程中,只把UE的标识信息,UE的上下文信息传递到T-DeNB,也可以切换过程中不传递UE的上下文信息,UE的上下文信息也可以在图6所示的流程中传递到T-DeNB。如果在RN切换过程中把UE的上下文传递到了T-DeNB,在图6所示的过程中就不需要RN把UE的上下文信息传递到T-DeNB。It is worth noting that the tunnel between the DeNB and RN-GW can also be established after the handover. At this time, only the identification information of the UE and the context information of the UE are transmitted to the T-DeNB during the X2 handover process. The context information of the UE may not be transmitted during the handover process, and the context information of the UE may also be transmitted to the T-DeNB in the process shown in FIG. 6 . If the context information of the UE is transferred to the T-DeNB during the RN handover process, the RN does not need to transfer the context information of the UE to the T-DeNB in the process shown in FIG. 6 .

通过上述图3、图4和图5的处理,目的DeNB为移动RN下的UE分配了新的S1接口标识和下行隧道信息,并通知给RN-GW,同时,目的DeNB也通过源DeNB和RN-MME获取了RN-GW之前为UE分配的上行隧道信息,这样,就能够在目的DeNB与RN-GW之间建立起用于传输UE数据的隧道。Through the processing in Figure 3, Figure 4 and Figure 5 above, the target DeNB assigns a new S1 interface identifier and downlink tunnel information to the UE under the mobile RN, and notifies the RN-GW. At the same time, the target DeNB also passes the source DeNB and RN - The MME obtains the uplink tunnel information previously allocated by the RN-GW to the UE, so that a tunnel for transmitting UE data can be established between the target DeNB and the RN-GW.

实施例一Embodiment one
实施例一是RN通过S1接口切换到目的DeNB的流程图。RN的S/P GW没有改变。在RN切换的过程中,要为UE建立起来RN的S/PGW和T-DeNB之间的用于传输数据的隧道。RN切换到目的DeNB,RN服务的MME也可以切换到新的MME上面。实施例一以RN的服务MME(RN-MME)没有改变为例子。如果RN的服务MME改变了,还涉及源MME和目的MME之间的消息的传递。图7省略了源MME和目的MME之间的消息。下面是对图7的具体说明:
步骤701:RN对周围的无线环境进行测量,并且把测量报告发送给服务的DeNB(图中的S-DeNB)。根据测量汇报,S-DeNB决定把RN切换到信号质量更好的目的DeNB(图中的T-DeNB)。Step 701: RN measures the surrounding wireless environment, and sends the measurement report to the serving DeNB (S-DeNB in the figure). According to the measurement report, the S-DeNB decides to switch the RN to the target DeNB with better signal quality (T-DeNB in the figure).
步骤702:S-DeNB发送切换需要消息给RN的服务MME,即图中的RN-MME,所述切换需要消息包含把RN当成UE的现有信息。所述RN当成UE的现有信息包含:Step 702: The S-DeNB sends a handover need message to the serving MME of the RN, ie, the RN-MME in the figure, and the handover need message includes the existing information regarding the RN as a UE.

Generally, the old UE identity appearing in the message sent subsequently is the same as the UE identity in this step. In addition, the S1 interface identifier of the UE is divided into the S1 interface identifier eNB UE S1 AP ID assigned by the DeNB and the S1 interface identifier MME UES1 AP ID assigned by the MME, including the S1 interface identifier when the RN acts as a UE. During handover, the target DeNB assigns the new S1 interface identifier to RN and UE as new eNB UE S1 AP ID, RN-MME assigns new S1 interface identifier to RN as new MME UE S1 AP ID, and the MME serving UE (UE-MME) is The UE allocates a new identifier for the S1 interface new MME UE S1 AP ID.
