Different addressing converting method, system and equipment

Abstract

A method for heterogeneous addressing mapping is provided according to the embodiments of the present invention. The method includes: assigning, by an Interworking Function entity (IWF), a first identification or a first address to a Diameter protocol node; mapping a received Diameter protocol message sent from the Diameter protocol node into a Mobile Application Part (MAP) protocol message, and sending the mapped MAP protocol message to an MAP protocol node using the first address assigned by the IWF as a source address or using the first identification assigned by the IWF as a source identification. The present invention also provides a system and an apparatus for heterogeneous addressing mapping. According to the embodiments of the present invention, when the Diameter node is communicating with the MAP node via the Interworking Function entity, the method for mapping the node identification for each other as well as the addressing relationship corresponding to each identification are provided. Thus, the problems that the communication with each other cannot be realized due to different identification addressing approaches are solved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of communication technology, in particular to a heterogeneous address conversion method and equipment. Background technique [0002] In the GPRS (General Packet Radio Service, general packet radio service) network, the service node accesses the home location register through the Gr interface, such as figure 1 As shown, the Gr interface is based on the MAP (Mobile Application Part, mobile application part) protocol, and the home location register is used to perform network access authentication and location management on the mobile terminal. In the evolved GPRS network, the mobility management entity is the evolution entity of the control function of the original service node, and the home subscriber server is the evolution entity of the original home location register, and the mobility management entity accesses the home subscriber server through the S6 interface, such as figure 2 As shown, the S6 interface is based...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

Therefore, the mobile management entity will not provide the ISDN number to the IWF (Inter Working Function, conversion function entity) network element, and the IWF will not be able to provide the corresponding ISDN number to the home location register, causing the home location register in the original GPRS network to fail. The IWF addresses the mobility management entity; similarly, the mobility management entity cannot address the home location register through the IWF
