The disclosure provides a detailed solution to perform anchor authenticator relocation without re-authentication.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a method for processing handoff confirm messages. The method includes the following steps: step S102, a serving base station receives a handoff indication message which is from a terminal, and determines the content of the field of the HO confirm type in the handoff confirm message which is to be transferred; and step S104, the serving base station determines whether the service flow information or terminal identifiers are included or not when the handoff confirm messages are transferred to multiple target base stations or target ASNs according to the field of the HO confirm type. The method for processing handoff confirm messages makes handoff among different branches according to different contents in the same controlling procedure, the redundant messages are reduced, and the transmission efficiency of link controlling information and the processing efficiency of the receiving end are improved effectively.
Abstract:
An optimization method of multiple service flows operation for a WiMAX system includes: adding a resource combination indication to a hand-off request message, a path pre-registration request message and a path registration request message; hand-off request processing: when multiple service flows are handed off by a mobile station from a current serving network to a target network, determining whether the mobile station is allowed to hand off to a target network according to the resource combination indication in the hand-off request message and whether the handoff of the multiple service flows is accepted by the target network; path pre-establishment processing and path establishment processing: when the mobile station is allowed to hand off multiple service flows from the current serving network to the target network, determining whether data paths between the target network and the network where a data management unit is located can be pre-established/established according to the resource combination indication in the path pre-registration request message and the path registration request message and whether the data path pre-registration/registration of the multiple service flows can be established.

Abstract:
The present invention discloses a method for scheduling wireless resources of a multi-base station MBS and a method for sending occupation information. The scheduling method comprises: dividing wireless resources of downlink sub-frames of all base stations in an MBS Zone into two parts, local service schedulers on the base stations scheduling one part for local services, and a multi-base station MBS resource scheduler in the MBS Zone scheduling the other part for the multi-base station MBS. The sending method comprises: a sender informing a receiver of multi-base station MBS wireless resource occupation situation through a message carrying multi-base station MBS wireless resource occupation information; the occupation information including configuration information and a scheduling result. When supporting the macro diversity multi-base station MBS, the present invention not only can avoid the conflict of unicast and MBS scheduling, but also can fully utilize the limited wireless resources of the system.
Abstract:
The disclosure provides a method and a system for processing an authenticator relocation request. When detecting that initial authentication, re-authentication or authenticator relocation is being performed for a terminal, a network side refuses a new authenticator relocation request from the terminal. When detecting that no initial authentication, re-authentication or authenticator relocation is being performed for the terminal, the network side accepts the new authenticator relocation request from the terminal. Further, when detecting that the initial authentication, the re-authentication or the authenticator relocation is being performed for the terminal, the network side refuses a new re-authentication request from the terminal. According to the technical solution of the disclosure, the complexity of network element processing is reduced and potential safety hazard is avoided.
