Abstract

The invention discloses a method for inquiring the status of home base station gateways, which comprises the steps of: before establishing a stream control transmission protocol coupling with the home base station gateways by a home base station, sending a status inquiring message to all home base station gateways connected with the home base station; and obtaining status information of all home base station gateways by the home base station according to status inquiring responding messages of the home base station gateways. The invention simultaneously discloses a method for accessing the home base station gateway, which additionally comprises the step of selecting an accessed home base station gateway by the home base station according to the status information of all home base station gateways and accessing in addition to the steps adopted by the method for inquiring the status of the home base station gateway. The invention simultaneously discloses corresponding devices for realizing the two methods. The invention not only improves the access success ratio of the home base station, but also can ensure that user service data in the home base station is effectively transmitted, ensures that the service loads of the home base station gateways are more balanced, and improves the user experience degree.

Description

technical field

[0001] The present invention relates to the access technology of the home base station, in particular to a method and device for inquiring about the status of the home base station gateway, and a method and device for accessing the home base station gateway. Background technique

[0002] figure 1 It is a schematic diagram of the composition structure of the Long Term Evolution (LTE, Long Term Evolution) system, such as figure 1 As shown, the LTE system mainly includes: a core network (CN, Core Network) and an evolved terrestrial radio access network (E_UTRAN, Evolved Universal Terrestrial Radio Access), and the core network mainly includes a mobility management entity (MME, Mobility Management Entity) and Serving Gateway (S-GW, Serving Gateway), the access network is composed of a base station (eNB), a home base station (HeNB) and a home base station gateway (HeNB GW, HeNB Gateway), and the core network and the access network are connected through the S1 (co...

Embodiment Construction

[0040] The basic idea of ​​the present invention is: before the home base station accesses the home base station gateway, firstly send a service load status query message to all the home base station gateways connected to the home base station, and after obtaining the service load information of each home base station gateway, select Among them, the HNB gateway with the lightest load is connected. Because the load information of the HNB gateway is obtained before the access, this not only improves the access success rate of the HNB, but also ensures the effective transmission of user service data in the HNB, making the service load of the HNB gateway more efficient. Balanced to improve user experience.

[0041] In order to make the object, technical solution and advantages of the present invention clearer, the present invention will be further described in detail by citing the following embodiments and referring to the accompanying drawings.
