Abstract:
The present invention provides a network selection method, comprising: acquiring, by a first base station, core network type information of a core network node from UE, a second base station or a first core network node; and selecting, by the first station, a core network node for the UE according to the acquired core network type information and information about a second core network node provided by the UE. The present further provides a base station device. The application of the present application may reduce the re-routing between core network nodes, shorten the access delay of UE, and satisfy the communication demand of UE types or service types that have requirements on delay.
Abstract:
A method for supporting packet data network (PDN) gateway (GW) selection, comprising the following steps of: receiving by a mobility management entity (MME) a local route optimization service request information; searching by the MME the internet protocol (IP) address of a PDN GW which supports local route optimization according to the IP address of a PDN GW on home evolved node B (HeNB) (PDN GWh); sending by the MME a bearer request establishment message to the PDN GWh. The method of the present invention can ensure core network equipment to find PDN GW correctly while HeNB system supports local route optimization.
Abstract:
A method for controlling, charging and positioning a UE is disclosed, which includes: a master base station sending closed subscriber group (CSG) member status of the UE in a secondary cell to a secondary base station; the master base station sending a CSG identity of the secondary cell and a PLMN identity selected for the UE that serves the UE in a cell of the secondary base station to a mobility management entity (MME); the MME validating CSG member status of the UE in the secondary cell; and the MME sending the validated CSG member status to the master base station with the present application, the UE is able to properly access to the secondary cell, and access control and member validation, charging, and positioning may be performed for the UE reasonably, which improves the user experience.
Abstract:
A random access channel (RACH) management method performed by a user equipment (UE) in a mobile communication system and an apparatus are provided. The method includes receiving, from a network, a signal indicative of a resolution of contention in a RACH procedure before a contention resolution timer expires; determining, if the received signal includes a contention resolution message including a unique identifier (ID) of the UE, that the RACH procedure has been successfully completed; receiving, from the network, after the successful completion of the RACH procedure, a UE information transmit request; and transmitting, to the network, in response to receipt of the UE information transmit request, a response message including first information indicating that the contention is detected in at least one preamble transmitted for the completed RACH procedure and indicating a number of the at least one preamble in which the contention is detected.
Abstract:
A method and an apparatus for assigning data to split bearers in dual connectivity is provided. The apparatus includes a master evolved Node B (MeNB) of a user equipment (UE) configured to receive information of available buffer decided and transmitted by a secondary eNB (SeNB) through an X2 interface between the MeNB and the SeNB, determine whether the information is about available buffer for a UE or for an evolved radio access bearer (E-RAB) established on the SeNB based on an indicator in the information or a bearer that transported the information, and adjust the amount of data assigned to the SeNB according to the information of the available buffer. The apparatus can accommodate eNBs implemented in various manners, make full use of the bandwidth of data bearers, and reduce delay in data transmission.
Abstract:
The present application discloses a switch supporting method comprising: an eNB sends a path switching request message to an MME to notify the MME of information on a bearer remaining unchanged; the MME reserves the bearer remaining unchanged and does not trigger a deactivation process for the bearer remaining unchanged; the MME sends a modify bearer request message to an SGW. With the present application, data loss can be avoided and service continuity is ensured when a UE moves in a small cell scenario.

Abstract:
The present application discloses a method for synchronizing encryption information between a SCell and UE, which includes that: the SCell transmits a COUNT value of RB established for the UE to a PCell; the PCell transmits the COUNT value received from the SCell to the UE; and the PCell receives a COUNT value of RB established on the SCell that is saved by the UE from the UE. Or, the SCell and the UE may directly exchange the COUNT value of RB. By the present application, the security and correctness of data can be ensured.
Abstract:
The present application discloses a method for configuring and transmitting a key, which includes that: a) a serving cell (PCell) of UE determines a key (KeNB) used by a SCell and transmits the KeNB to the SCell; and b) the PCell transmits configuration information for configuring the SCell to the UE after receiving a response message from the SCell, and receives a response message from the UE. Or, the method includes that: a SCell of UE transmits a cell key request to a MME and receives key information from the MME; and the SCell transmits the key information received from the MME to the UE, and receives a response message from the UE. By the present application, data of the SCell is transmitted after being encrypted, so as to avoid a case that the data is decoded by other users, and further guarantee the security of the data.
Abstract:
A method of implementing fast recovery of public warning systems (PWSs) is provided. The method includes receiving, by a mobility management entity (MME), a first restart indication message transmitted by a home evolved nodeB (HeNB) gateway (GW), transmitting, by the MME, a second restart indication message to a cell broadcast center (CBC), the second message including an index of the HeNB and/or an index of the HeNB GW, receiving, by the MME, a warning request transmitted by the CBC, the warning request including the index of the HeNB and/or the index of the HeNB GW, and transmitting, by the MME, the warning request which is destined for the HeNB to the HeNB GW.
