Equipment managing method for user's networks and user's network managing entity

Abstract

The invention makes management entity treat merge and disjunction in user network more effectively. Using management entity of user network obtains information of position of managed PAN and / or independent devices. Based on the information of position, the method determines whether there are PAN and / or independent devices possible to be merged or disjoined; if yes, based on prearranged or user selected mode of merge or disjunction, the management entity executes corresponding merging or disjoining operations. In operating procedure of merge or disjunction, based on physical circumstances, the method reserves network logon message of a part of relevant device, and updates network logon message directly for other devices. Moreover, using mode of switching service access points, the invention guarantees continuity of network service.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the communication field, in particular to the management technology of the user network. Background technique [0002] With the development of communication technology, it has become possible for users to connect all their user equipment (User Equipment, referred to as "UE") and even personal networks by some means. A user network is composed of multiple independent devices or devices of the same user. Composed of Personal Area Network (Personal Area Network, referred to as "PAN"). Through the user network, no matter where the user's independent devices or the PAN network are located and what access method they use, the user can manage and maintain them in a unified manner, and the independent devices in the user network and the PAN network can communicate . As shown in Figure 1, a user network includes not only an independent device and a PAN network, but also a network management entity of the user network, where an indepen...

Problems solved by technology

[0023] In practical application, the above solution has the following problems: the merging and splitting of PAN and PAN, PAN and independent devices in the user network is very inconvenient, and its merging and splitting needs to consume a lot of network resources, and may cause communication interruption of devices in communication

[0024] The main reason for this situation is that since the user network cannot automatically identify the relative positions of each PAN and independent devices, and cannot actively control and manage the process of merging and splitting PANs, all operations must be done manually by the user, which is very inconvenient

Moreover, the user's subjective judgment is often not accurate and timely enough. Sometimes ordinary equipment leaves the PAN network to which it belongs, but the user fails to detect it in time. At this time, communication will be interrupted.

[0025] Since there is no registration information update mechanism of the PAN network in the user network, when the relevant equipment changes the PAN network it belongs to, it must first log out and then register, which increases the processing delay and consumes network resources in inefficient repetitive operations. Inefficiency in managing entities

And due to the need to re-register, the relevant equipment must first interrupt all services in the original PAN network, and then restart after re-registration, resulting in low efficiency of user network services

[0026] Since the user network lacks the merging and splitting functions of the PAN network, the user network cannot provide related services, which limits its service capabilities
