Method and apparatus for processing network configuration, and radio network controller

Abstract

The present invention provides a method and an apparatus for processing network configuration, and a radio network controller. The method for processing network configuration includes: establishing a neighboring cell relationship between a macro cell and a generic access network cell, where the neighboring cell relationship is a neighboring cell mapping relationship between a radio network controller of the macro cell and a generic access network controller of the generic access network cell, and more than two generic access network cells share one generic access network controller; and when a handover of a user equipment from the macro cell to the generic access network cell occurs, sending a measurement control message to the user equipment according to the neighboring cell relationship between the macro cell and the generic access network cell. The embodiments of the present invention further provide a corresponding apparatus and a radio network controller. The method and apparatus for processing network configuration, and the radio network controller provided in the embodiments of the present invention may effectively reduce the complexity of performing neighboring network configuration between a GAN network and a network such as a UMTS or LTE network and lower the workload of network management and configuration.

Description

technical field [0001] Embodiments of the present invention relate to the field of communication technologies, and in particular, to a network configuration processing method, device, and wireless network controller. Background technique [0002] Unlicensed Mobile Access (UMA) technology is jointly initiated by a number of industry-leading operators and suppliers. Its purpose is to develop and promulgate a set of standards to expand mobile voice in GSM / GPRS And data can be used in license-free spectrum technologies (such as Bluetooth and wireless LAN), which can realize the seamless transfer of mobile voice and data from mobile phone network to wireless local area network (WLAN / WiFi). Among them, the UMTS / GAN interoperability based on the Generic Access Network (GAN for short) was standardized in 3GPP Rel6, and further deepened in Rel7 and Rel8. [0003] figure 1 It is a GAN / EGAN architecture diagram in the prior art, in which a mobile station (hereinafter referred to as: ...

Problems solved by technology

[0004] The existing same-frequency neighbor cell or different-system neighbor cell configuration usually establishes a mapping relationship with the current cell in units of cells. For the access network elements of the GAN network, it can be regarded as a logical UMTS in the Iu mode In A / Gb mode, it can be regarded as a logical GSM network element, and the number of GAN access network elements may be far greater than the number of macro cells. For a macro cell, a large number of logical UMTS neighbors need to be configured separately. area or GSM adjacent area, which makes the configuration of UMTS network and GAN adjacent network very complicated, increasing the workload of network management and configuration
