Communication method and equipment

Abstract

Embodiments of the present invention provide a communication method and equipment. The method includes: the network equipment receives the data message sent by the terminal; forwards the data message to the base station module, so that the base station module copies and distributes the data message to multiple other terminals. In the embodiment of the present invention, the base station module and the core network module are integrated on the same physical device, that is, the network device, so that the network device forwards the data message to the base station module after receiving the data message sent by the terminal, and the base station module forwards the data message to the base station module. The file is copied and distributed to multiple other terminals, thereby realizing cluster communication. Compared with the prior art where the terminal sends the data message to the base station, the base station sends the data message to the core network, and the core network copies the data message , and send the copied data message to the base station, and the base station then distributes it to different other terminals. This embodiment effectively saves the amount of data communicated between the base station and the core network, and reduces data path nodes.

Description

technical field [0001] Embodiments of the present invention relate to the field of communication technologies, and in particular, to a communication method and device. Background technique [0002] In the Long Term Evolution (LTE) communication system, the base station and the core network communicate through the S1 interface, the signaling plane of the S1 interface is defined by the S1 Application Protocol (S1AP), and the user plane of the S1 interface is defined by the general Definition of the Packet Radio Service (General Packet Radio Service, GPRS) User Plane Protocol (GPRS Tunnelling Protocol User, GTPU). [0003] From the perspective of signaling, the transport layer of S1AP is implemented using Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP). In the actual communication system, relevant parameters corresponding to S1AP and SCTP must be configured between the base station and the core network. Wherein, the configuration of S1AP includes an interface identifier, and the c...

Problems solved by technology

[0004] However, in a local area such as a park, playground, office, etc., when terminals communicate through the base station and the core network, the amount of data communicated between the base station and the core network will increase, as well as the number of data path nodes.
