The invention relates to a
message routing method in an LTE (Long Term Evolution) network. The method comprises the steps that an MME (
Mobility Management Entity) in a
roaming place LTE network sends an access request to an international
roaming gateway DRA (
Diameter Routing Agent), wherein the access request carries a source
user identifier; the DRA positions a first HSS (
Home Subscriber Server) according to the source
user identifier and sends a request message to the first HSS, wherein the source
user identifier, an identifier of whether to support request retry or not and the identifier of whether to support routing optimization or not are carried in the request message; when the first HSS discovers that a user does not exist after searching a
database according to the source user identifier, if the identifier of whether to support request retry or not is supporting request retry and the identifier of whether to support routing optimization or not is supporting routing optimization, the first HSS returns an error code to the international
roaming gateway DRA and a request retry support mark and a routing optimization support mark are carried in the error code; the DRA analyzes the error code, initiates a search request to EMNP (Evolved
Mobile Number Portability), searches corresponding target user identifier and target routing address according to the source user identifier, and redirects to a second HSS through utilization of the target user identifier and the target routing address, thereby initiating the access request.
