Description

 Base station to core network communication method, system and device

 This application claims priority to Chinese Patent Application No. 200610099509, filed on Jun. 26, 2006, the entire disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference. In this application.

Technical field

 The present invention relates to the field of wireless communication technologies, and in particular, to a communication method, system and device for a base station to a circuit domain core network.

Background technique

 With the rapid development of communication technology, the trend of flat network development has emerged in wireless networks. The so-called flattening, in a nutshell, is to minimize the number of network elements that need to pass through signaling and user data in a single business process. The advantage of flattening the network is that the types and quantities of network elements involved in service processing are reduced, the network structure is reduced, the service access speed is increased, and the user data transmission delay is reduced. The universal mobile communication system (UMTS) capable of better serving the hierarchical architecture (UMTS) , Universal Mobile Telecommunications System ) Markets neglected by the network, such as homes, corporate markets, etc.

 Taking UMTS as an example, the UMTS network consists of CN (Core Network), RAN (Radio Access Network) and UE.

(User device) composition. The radio access network RAN includes a base station NODE B and a base station controller R C . The core network CN can be logically divided into a packet switched domain (PS) and a circuit switched domain (CS). The CS domain is a circuit switched core network of UMTS for supporting circuit data services. The PS domain is a packet service core network of UMTS. Used to support packet data services and some multimedia services. The interface between the base station controller R C and the base station NODE B is Iub, the interface between the base station controller RNC and the CS domain is Iu-CS, and the interface between the base station and the PS domain is Iu-PS. The main starting point for the existing UMTS network flattening is to re-differentiate existing UMTS network elements to reduce the number of vertical NEs and reduce user plane and signaling plane delay. At present, there is a direct connection scheme from the base station to the packet domain core network, that is, a scheme in which the user plane interface is merged in the PS network, such as a scheme named "one channel", which combines the user planes of the Iu-PS interface and the Gn interface. The user interface data transfer link is reduced to improve the processing performance. Another solution is to combine the user planes of the Iub interface, the Iu-PS interface, the Gn interface, and the Gi interface into one interface, that is, the base station directly supports the communication method of the Gi interface. It can also reduce the user plane data transfer link, thereby improving PS domain performance.

The pass-through scheme for the base station to the circuit domain core network of the CS domain has not yet appeared. Currently, at present The communication method of the base station to the circuit domain core network under the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) architecture is shown in Figure 1:

 The user equipment UE is connected to NODE B through a standard Uu interface, and NODE B and RNC are interconnected through a standard lub interface, and a standard Iu-CS interface between the RNC and the MSC. The control plane (CP) of the lub interface uses the NODE B application protocol (NBAP), and the user plane (UP) uses the frame protocol (FP). The control plane of the Iu-CS interface adopts the Radio Access Network Application Part (RANAP) protocol, and the user plane adopts the lu interface user plane protocol (lu UP in the case of the lub interface and the Iu-CS interface based on the ATM bearer, the CS user plane data frame The two interfaces of lub and Iu-CS need to reach the MSC. In the 3GPP R6 standard, the lub interface and the Iu-CS interface can support IP transmission, but the CS user plane data frame is still transmitted to the RNC via NODE B, and then transmitted by the RNC. To the MSC, that is to say, it still needs to reach the MSC through the two interfaces lub and Iu-CS.

 It can be seen that although the above solution implements the IP of the lub and Iu-CS interfaces, the user plane data frames still need to be transmitted segment by segment, that is, from NODE B to RC, and then from the RNC to the MSC, after passing two IP addresses. Transmission, so that the user data transmission process is longer, and the transmission delay is also extended.

detailed description

 Embodiments of the present invention provide a base station to core network communication method and system, including: a base station directly supports a user plane protocol between a radio access network and a core network circuit domain; and the mobile switching center transmits its own user through a base station controller. The surface parameter information is sent to the base station; the base station directly sends data to the mobile switching center according to the user plane parameter information of the mobile switching center, and the mobile switching center receives the data.

In the current 3GPP standard, please refer to FIG. 2 for the protocol stack architecture diagram of the Iu-CS between the RNC and the MSC based on the IP bearer. The protocol structure is divided into two main layers: the wireless network layer and the transport network layer. The wireless network layer includes a control plane and a user plane, and the transport network layer includes a transport network user plane corresponding to the control plane and the user plane, respectively. The Iu-CS user plane uses the Iu UP protocol to transmit all the information sent and received by the user. The main functions of the Iu UP protocol include: user plane data frame transmission, rate control, initialization, and error handling. The Iu-CS control plane adopts the RANAP protocol of the radio access network application, and mainly implements the RANAP protocol function, including: relocation of the service RC, management of the radio access bearer RAB, establishment of the Iu connection/release/reset, overload control, Paging, security mode control, location reporting, error reporting, and more. The transport network user plane corresponding to the control plane includes a signaling connection control part SCCP, a message adaptation part MTP layer 3 user adaptation layer M3UA, a flow control transmission protocol SCTP and an internet protocol Π>, and a data link layer and a physical layer . User plane corresponding transmission The transmission network user plane includes a real-time transport protocol RTP/Real-Time Transport Control Protocol (RTCP), a User Data Protocol UDP/Internet Protocol IP, and a data link layer and a physical layer.

 For the protocol stack architecture of Iub between NODE B and RNC based on IP bearer in the 3GPP standard, please refer to Figure 3. The protocol structure is also divided into two main layers: the wireless network layer and the transport network layer. In the wireless network layer, the control plane and the user plane are used, the control plane adopts the NODE B application protocol NBAP, and the user plane adopts the frame protocol FP, wherein the frame protocol includes a dedicated channel DCH frame protocol, a random access channel RACH frame protocol, and forward access. Channel FACH frame protocol, paging channel PCH frame protocol, high speed downlink shared channel HS-DSCH frame protocol, time division duplex high speed downlink shared channel TDD-DSCH frame protocol, uplink shared channel USCH frame protocol, transport format word TFCI2 frame Protocol, enhanced dedicated channel E-DCH frame protocol, etc. The transport layer corresponding to the control plane NBAP protocol includes a flow control transport protocol SCTP and an internet protocol IP, as well as a data link layer and a physical layer. The transport layer corresponding to the user plane FP protocol includes the User Datagram Protocol UDP and the Internet Protocol IP, as well as the data link layer and the physical layer.

 In the embodiment of the present invention, the Iu UP protocol of the RNC is transplanted from the RNC to the NODE B. The RNC only retains the control plane function of the Iu-CS interface, and the user plane directly communicates with the MSC by the NODE B, omitting the intermediate RNC forwarding. Since IP transmission is used, the connectionless transmission protocol UDP is used, and the transmission does not need to establish a separate connection, so no special transmission network control plane protocol is needed at this time.

 Referring to FIG. 4, it is a flowchart of a method for communicating a base station to a circuit domain core network according to an embodiment of the present invention, including the steps:

 Al, set the Iu-CS interface user plane protocol Iu UP in the base station, so that the base station can support

Iu-CS interface user plane protocol Iu UP;

 A2. The base station sends data to the mobile switching center according to the user plane parameter information transmitted by the mobile switching center via the base station controller;

 A3. The mobile switching center receives the data.

 It should be noted that the base station also transmits its own user plane parameter information to the mobile switching center via the base station controller, and the mobile switching center transmits data to the base station according to the user plane parameter information of the base station.

 In the embodiment of the present invention, the method for porting the Iu-CS interface user plane protocol Iu UP to the base station is as shown in FIG. 5 and FIG. 6 .

As shown in FIG. 5 and FIG. 6, the user equipment UE is still connected to NODE B through a standard Uu interface. However, NODE B and RNC, and the control plane function between RNC and MSC remain unchanged, that is, the control plane between RNC and NODE B maintains the 3GPP architecture unchanged, and the control plane RANAP protocol between NC and MSC retains 3GPP. The architecture is unchanged, but the user plane of the IRC-CS interface of the RNC has changed. The Iu-CS user plane Iu UP protocol stack has been migrated from the RC to the NODE B, that is, the IB-CS user plane function between the NodeB and the MSC. Because NODE B needs to directly communicate with the MSC, NODE B needs to support the Iu UP protocol. The Iu-CS user plane channel between the original RNC and the MSC no longer functions. NODE B and MSC directly User plane interaction, the circuit domain data frame passed from the Uu interface to NODE B, directly packaged by NODE B into

The data frame of the Iu UP is then sent to the MSC; the user plane DCH channel of the lub interface between the RNC and the NODEB no longer functions. That is to say, the control plane interface shown in FIG. 5 is the same as the prior art, and FIG. 6 is different from the existing method, that is, the user plane data interface is directly performed between NODE B and the MSC.

 Please refer to FIG. 7, which is a schematic diagram of the structure of the user plane 10 protocol stack of the interface between the NODE B and the MSC in the embodiment of the present invention. As shown in Figure ,, the Iu-CS user plane protocol stack in Figure 2 is migrated from RC to NODE B. The user plane uses the Iu UP protocol. The user plane corresponding to the user plane includes the real-time transport protocol RTP. / Real-time transport control protocol RTCP, User Datagram Protocol UDP/Internet Protocol IP, and data link layer and physical layer.

 Please refer to FIG. 8 as a schematic diagram of the structure of the protocol stack of the improved lub in the embodiment of the present invention. The frame protocol function of the user plane common transport channel of the lub interface continues to be reserved between NODE B and RNC. The user plane dedicated channel DCH frame protocol of the lub interface between RNC and NODE B no longer functions. As shown in FIG. 8, the wireless network layer includes a random access channel RACH frame protocol, a forward access channel FACH frame protocol, a paging channel PCH frame protocol, and other common transport channel frame protocols, and corresponds to a user plane protocol FP. The transport layer includes the User Datagram Protocol UDP and the Internet Protocol IP, as well as the data link layer and the physical layer.

 In the embodiment of the present invention, after the user plane is directly interoperated by the NODE B and the MSC, the message assignment process changes accordingly. Referring to FIG. 9, FIG. 9 is a schematic flowchart of the assignment process of RNC/NODE B and MSC according to an embodiment of the present invention, including the steps:

Bl, RNC receives the Radio Access Bearer (RAB) from the MSC. Slogan

 B2, RNC initiates a radio link reconfiguration preparation RLRP (Radio Link Reconfiguration Preparation) message to NODE B, and transmits the IP address and UDP port number of the MSC side to NODE B;

 B3, NODE B responds to RNC with radio link reconfiguration ready RLR (Radio Link

Reconfiguration Ready message, including NODE B side IP address and user data 4 艮 (User Datagram Protocol) port number;

 B4. The RNC initiates a radio link reconfiguration commit message to the NODE B. The user plane address information carried in the message is the address information of the MSC.

 B5, NODE B initiates an Iu UP initialization process to the MSC;

 B6.R C replies to the MSC with the radio access bearer RAB assignment response message, which carries the IP address and UDP port number of NODE B.

 From the above steps, the control planes of the Iub and Iu-CS interfaces follow the standard signaling flow. The modification with the 3GPP standard is: In the radio link reconfiguration preparation process initiated by the RKC to NODE B, the carried user plane address information is the address information of the MSC, which is not the address information of the RNC itself defined by the general protocol, and this modification is for NODE B. It is not visible. In the RAB assignment response message sent by the R C to the MSC, the user plane address information carried is the user plane address information of NODE B, instead of the address information of the RNC itself defined by the general protocol, and the modification is invisible to the MSC. That is to say: the RNC user plane address information does not exist. For the MSC, the RNC address information is actually NODE B; for NODE B, the RNC address information is actually the MSC. The modification of the user plane and the standard procedure is: The Iu UP process between the original RNC and the MSC is now implemented between NODE B and the MSC.

It should be noted that the radio link reconfiguration signaling flow of the Iub interface in FIG. 9 is illustrated in a synchronous manner, and may also be implemented in an asynchronous manner. In the asynchronous mode radio link reconfiguration process, the IP address and UDP port number of the MSC and NODE B on both sides of the Iu-CS user plane interface are similarly transmitted. Step B2 of the above process is modified to be a radio link. The configuration request (Radio Link Reconfiguration Request), the step B3 is modified into a radio link reconfiguration response (Radio Link Reconfiguration Response), and the step B4 (Radio Link Reconfiguration Commit) is Not required in asynchronous reconfiguration.

 Under the 3GPP standard architecture, the handover between the NODE Bs within the RNC is performed by the R C through the standard NBAP protocol, and the MSC is not required to be notified, and the handover is not visible to the MSC. However, in the present invention, since the NODE B directly communicates with the MSC, the user plane data channel is directly established between the NODE B and the MSC, so the switching between the NODE B causes a change in the circuit domain data channel with the MSC. The MSC needs to be notified in time to update the user plane data transmission channel.

 In the embodiment of the present invention, after the Iu UP protocol is migrated to the NODE B, in order to support the switching between the ODE Bs, the RNC needs to extend the existing RANAP message to support the modification of the Iu-CS interface access network side user plane address, that is, The RAB MODIFY REQUEST message needs to be extended, so that the message can request the MSC to modify the IP address of the user plane of the access network RAN side, that is, the NODE B side IP address: The user plane IP address of the IU-CS interface The original ODE B is modified to the IP address of the destination NODE B to support the switching process between the RNC internal NODE B.

 The specific modification method of the RAB modification request message is shown in Table 1:

 The cells defined in the 3GPP R6 standard in the RAB modification request message include the maximum rate and the guaranteed rate of the request for rate control, and an optional RAB configuration request for the video call initiated by the access network.

The embodiment of the present invention adds a "transport layer information" cell to the original cell, and is used to request the MSC to modify the IP address of the RAN side of the user plane access network of the Iu-CS interface, and the transport layer information includes the transport layer address and the Iu interface transmission tie. Set the number. The transport layer address refers to the new access network side IP address, and the Iu interface transport binding number refers to the UDP port number used by the new access network side specific user data stream, which is the NODE B IP address for the embodiment of the present invention. And the UDP port number used by the particular user data stream.

Referring to FIG. 10, it is a schematic diagram of a NODE B handover process in an embodiment of the present invention, including the steps: CI, RC detecting that a UE initiates a handover between NODE Bs;

 The C2 and the RNC initiate a RAB modification request (RAB MODIFY REQUEST) to the MSC, and request to modify the user plane address of the access network side of the Iu interface, that is, the NODE B side IP address;

After receiving the RAB modification request initiated by the RC, the MSC sends an RAB assignment request message to the RNC, where the message includes the RAB identifier and the transport layer information, where the transport layer information includes the MSC side IP address and the UDP port number; After receiving the RAB assignment request of the MSC, the RNC initiates an RAB assignment response, where the message includes the RAB identifier and the transport layer information, and the transport layer information includes the NODE B side IP address and the UDP port number, which are used to modify the connection. IP address of the user side on the network side. After receiving the modification information, the MSC will modify the IP address and UDP port number of NODE B accordingly.

 Correspondingly, an embodiment of the present invention provides a communication system between a base station and a core network.

 Please refer to FIG. 11 , which is a schematic diagram of a system according to an embodiment of the present invention. The system includes: a base station 901, a base station controller 902, and a mobile switching center 903; the base station 901 is configured to interact with the base station controller to establish a control plane connection with the mobile switching center in the core network via the base station controller; a user plane protocol between the directly supported radio access network and the core network circuit domain, establishing a user plane connection with the mobile switching center, and performing user plane data communication, such as directly moving according to user plane parameter information of the mobile switching center 903 The switching center 903 transmits data; the base station controller 902 is configured to transfer data between the base station and the mobile switching center, such as transmitting the user plane parameter information of the mobile switching center 903 to the base station 901; and the mobile switching center 903 is configured to perform the base station controller. 902 establishes a control plane connection with the base station 901; directly establishes a user plane connection with the base station 901, performs user plane data communication, transmits user data to the base station 901, and receives user data sent by the base station 901.
