Methods and devices for inquiring status of home base station gateways and accessing home base station gateways

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...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

However, if the HeNB GW is in an overloaded state before the SCTP layer is established, and the HeNB does not know it, if the HeNB establishes a connection with the HeNB GW in the overloaded state, it will affect the use effect of all users under the HeNB and will also increase The service load of the HeNB GW will cause relatively long user service connection delays, which will affect user satisfaction.
