Embodiment 1

[0040] The MIHF on the terminal side initiates a network scan after receiving the MIH_Scan request from the network side. After the scan is completed, the MIHF generates a report on the parameters of the homogeneous or heterogeneous wireless network environment around the terminal and sends it to the handover decision module on the network side.

[0041] First of all, in order to obtain the dynamic information of the POA during MIHF scanning on the terminal side, it is necessary to modify the parameters of the MIH_Scan sent by the MIHF on the network side to the MIHF on the terminal side, as follows:

[0042] The original 802.21 MIH_Scan command request is defined as follows:

Abstract

The method includes steps: (1) entity of media irrelevant switching function MIHF at terminal side initiates network scanning; after scanning, generating report of radio network environmental parameter including dynamic information and static information of scanned point of access POA around terminal; (2) MIHF at terminal side sends the report to MIHF at network side; after receiving the report, MIHF at network side transfers the report to switching decision-making module for making decision. Supporting isomorphic and isomerous network environment at same time, the invention raises accuracy for selecting object access point when network side initiates switching so as to improving efficiency for switching network.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of Media Independent Handover (MIH, Media Independent Handover), in particular to the technology of detecting and reporting the wireless network environment at the terminal side during Media Independent Handover. Background technique [0002] There are currently many networks with different architectures, such as the wireless local area network defined by 802.11, the wireless metropolitan area network defined by the 802.16 protocol, and the third-generation cellular mobile communication network defined by 3GPP (Third Generation Mobile Communication Standardization Partnership Project). It is difficult to conveniently switch and roam in heterogeneous networks under the condition of ensuring business continuity. The proposal of 802.21 is to solve the above problems. The 802.21 (Media-Independent Handover Service) protocol defined by IEEE (Institute of Electronics and Electrical Engineers) is a protocol...
