Abstract:
The present invention provides a method of anonymously reporting minimization of drive test (MDT) measurements. According to the method, a mobility management entity (MME) obtains MDT data anonymity configuration which indicates whether MDT measurements are to be reported anonymously at a type allocation code (TAC) level; sends a TAC of a UE to a trace collection entity (TCE) if the MDT data anonymity configuration indicates MDT measurements are to be reported anonymously at the TAC level; sends an international mobile subscriber identification (IMSI) or an international mobile equipment identity and software version (IMEISV) of the UE to the TCE if the MDT data anonymity configuration indicates other information, e.g. Trace, is adopted for anonymously reporting MDT measurements. The present invention enables an MME to send different identities of a UE to the TCE according to different requirements for anonymity to implement anonymous reporting of MDT measurements.
Abstract:
The present application discloses a self-optimizing method for a UE group, which includes: a. a base station of a cell in the system adjusts mobility parameters of a specified UE group from the cell to another cell, and notifies the base station that the another cell belongs to of a relative value of mobility parameter change of the specified UE group in the cell; or, the base station of the cell requests base station of the another cell to adjust the mobility parameters of the specified UE group to the cell, and carry the relative value of mobility parameter change; b. the base station of the another cell determines which manner to take to adjust the mobility parameters of the specified UE group according to the relative value of the mobility parameter change received.

Abstract:
Disclosed is a method for transmitting control information in a media access control-enhanced packet data unit (MAC-e PDU), including determining a data size of a transport format combination (TFC) selected by a user equipment (UE), including control information into the MAC-e PDU when a size of data and a header for the MAC-e PDU is shorter than the data size of the TFC, padding data of the MAC-e PDU with padding bits if a size of data including a corresponding header is shorter than the data size of the TFC, including the control information into the padding bits if the length of the padding bits is suitable for the transmission of the control information, and sending, by the UE, the MAC-e PDU including the control information to a node B.
Abstract:
A method for setting up X2 through a gateway (GW) is provided. The method includes a home base station obtaining an Internet Protocol (IP) address of a neighbor base station through a Transport Network Layer (TNL) address discovery process, transmitting to an X2 GW the obtained IP address of the neighbor base station, and receiving an X2 setup information confirmation message from the X2 GW, initiating an X2 interface setup process with the neighbor base station, or initiating an evolved NodeB (eNB) configuration update process with the neighbor base station. The method can reduce impact on a macro base station, and reduce complexity of configuration of an operator, so that an X2 handover is practicable.
Abstract:
A method enabling an relay node (RN) to support multiple wireless access techniques is provided, which includes: a mobility management element (MME) requests a DeNB to establish evolved radio access bearers (ERAB) of EUTRAN and indicates access network information that will be transmitted by each of the ERABs; the DeNB requests an RN to establish radio bearers (RB) and indicates the access network information that will be transmitted by each of the RBs. The above method makes fewer modifications to conventional networks and techniques, guarantees service quality provided for a UE accessing an LTE system, and enables an RN to support access of UEs using multiple access techniques.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a method for correctly establishing a local IP access (LIPA or SIPTO@LN) service. The method includes: obtains a subscribed service type and a device capabilities type of a UE, judging whether the subscribed service type is consistent with the device capabilities type, and establishing a LIPA or SIPTO@LN service for the UE in response to a determination that the subscribed service type is consistent with the device capabilities type, or rejecting establishing the service in response to a determination that the subscribed service type is consistent with the device capabilities type. The present invention guarantees a LIPA or SIPTO@LN service be established correctly, thereby can better satisfy service requirements of users and implement optimal network resources allocation.
Abstract:
A method for supporting indication of a failure event to a source access system is provided. The method includes notifying, by the source access system, information of a source cell to a target access system, routing, by the target access system, a message to the base station or the base station controller of the source access through a core network by use of the information of the source cell received from the source access system when the target access system needs to transmit a message to the source access system. By use of the method provided by the present disclosure, a problem of mobility robustness optimization (MRO) among different radio access technology (RAT) may be notified to the source access system, so as to avoid impact for a terminal, reduce operator configuration.
Abstract:
A method for selecting a Policy and Charging Enforcement Function (PCEF) and a Policy and Charging Rule Function (PCRF), for monitoring members in a monitored group is provided. The method includes allocating a same group Identity (ID) for members in a monitored group, selecting a Packet Data Network Gateway (PGW)/PCEF or a PCEF for a member corresponding to the first user to access the network in the monitored group according to the group ID of the member, selecting a PCRF for the member, saving at least one of a corresponding relationship between the group ID and an Internet Protocol (IP) address of the PGW/PCEF, and a corresponding relationship between the group ID and an IP address of the PCEF, and saving at least a corresponding relationship between the group ID and an IP address of the PCRF.
