The present invention provides a method for a media-independent handover functional entity in a heterogeneous network to obtain supported service information, including steps: the media-independent handover functional entity queries the service information supported by a lower-level entity; and judges that the media-independent handover functional entity is The service information provided by the upper layer entity; wherein, the service information is command service information, or event service information and command service information. Through the present invention, the media-independent handover function entity is made aware of the command service information it supports, and can accurately notify the upper layer entity of the command service information and event service information it supports, thereby more effectively promoting terminal handover in heterogeneous networks .
Description
Technical field
The present invention relates to moving communicating field, when being particularly related in a kind of heterogeneous network the command service information supported when upper layer entity desire inquiry media-independent handoff functionality (MIHF:Media Independent Handover Function) entity and Event Service information, the MIHF entity is known the order supported and the method for Event Service information; And a kind of upper layer entity is to the querying method of the information on services of lower layer entities support.
Background technology
Development of Communication Technique is maked rapid progress, and various new network technologies constantly occur, and the switching and the roaming problem that how to solve between existing heterogeneous network get very outstanding.In order to solve the user at present IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers; Institute of Electrical and Electric Engineers) 802.11, IEEE 802.15, IEEE 802.16,3GPP (3th GenerationPartnership Project; Third generation co-operative project), 3GPP2 (3th GenerationPartner-ship Project 2; Be engaged in the International Standards Organization of CDMA2000 3G (Third Generation) Moblie research on standard) etc. the roaming switching problem between the communication system, IEEE 802 wireless working groups have set up IEEE802 switches seminar, definite designation afterwards is IEEE 802.21 working groups, its objective is and make client device best network connection type and access point of energy automatic selectivity price ratio when internetwork roaming, and can need not realize seamless switching under the situation of user intervention, strengthen the user experience of mobile device by supporting the switching between heterogeneous network.
Wherein, 802.21 protocol coverage comprise:
A. defined a kind of mobile node (MN) framework of transparent continuous sex service can be provided when the link layer of isomery switches, the mobility management protocol stack of this framework to support in the network element to switch.802.21 agreement does not comprise framework realization details and the first-selected guidance that realizes.
B. in the mobility management protocol stack, define one group and switched relevant function and new entity, media-independent handoff functionality (MIHF:Media Independent Handover Function).
C. defined extra media interviews controls (MAC:Media Access Control) layer Service Access Point (SAPs:Service Access Point) and relevant primitive, helped to gather link layer information and control link behavior when switching at every kind of specific access technology.
D. defined the irrelevant Service Access Point (SAPs) and the relevant primitive that inserts MIHF of a group media, comprised:
1) media-independent service provides information model and information bank so that formulate handover decisions effectively.
2) media-independent command service is used for user's control of giving an order and switches relevant link behavior.
3) media-independent Event Service comprises incident and trigger that local and remote interface produces.
MIHF is defined as providing the logical layer in the mobility management protocol stack that moves the mobile node supported and network element, plays auxiliary and impetus in the handover decisions process.The upper strata of MIH is carried out handover decisions and is carried out link selection according to input and context from MIH; The common-denominator target of MIHF is to simplify the identification and the effectively discovery of handover information of switching occurrence condition.MIHF provides high-rise abstract service, and one group of interface that defines is provided, and the service primitive that these interfaces expose is independent of concrete access technology; MIHF communicates by the relevant interface of specific access technology and the mobility management protocol stack of low layer, is illustrated in figure 1 as MIHF position and key service schematic diagram.
The seamless switching of terminal between heterogeneous network mainly assisted and promote to independent medium switching functional entity by media-independent Event Service, media-independent command service and media-independent service, reduce switching delay and loss of data, strengthens user's experience.In the prior art, upper layer entity at first will be known event information and the command information that lower layer entities is supported, and then takes corresponding strategy according to these information.As shown in Figure 2, in the prior art to the querying flow figure of local event information and command information.
Fig. 2 has described the prior art event information supported of entity (MIH User) inquiry lower layer entities and the flow process of command information at the middle and upper levels.At first, upper layer entity is inquired about Event Service information and the command service information that the MIHF entity is supported by MIH ability discovery request (MIH_Capability_Discover.request) primitive to the MIHF entity; The MIHF entity is found the Event Service information that request (Link_Event_Discover.request) primitive is supported to lower layer entities inquiry lower layer entities by link event again, lower layer entities finds to confirm that by link event the Event Service information that (Link_Event_Discover.confirm) supports it reports the MIHF entity, and the MIHF entity reports upper layer entity (MIH User) to the Event Service information of MIHF entity support and command service information by MIH ability discovery response (MIH_Capability_Discover.response) again.
In the prior art, upper layer entity (MIH User) wishes to inquire about Event Service information and the command service information that the MIHF entity is supported by MIH_Capability_Discover.request primitive.For the Event Service information that the MIHF entity is supported, the MIHF entity can obtain by Link_Event_Discover.request and Link_Event_Discover.confirm primitive.
But,, do not illustrate by which kind of mode to obtain, original M IHF entity is not know that it should provide those command service information to upper strata (MIH User) on earth obviously in the prior art for the command service information that the MIHF entity is supported.Because the person of sending of order, promptly the MIHF entity must be known the recipient of order, and promptly whether lower layer entities has the function of carrying out this order and decide the order person of sending whether to support this order.So the MIHF entity must be inquired about exectorial lower layer entities earlier, could report the command service information of MIHF entity support then to upper layer entity according to Query Result.For example: have only when lower layer entities to have when carrying out the ability relevant with scan for networks order (MIH_Scan order), MI HF entity can be to the provide support information of MIH_Scan order of upper layer entity, if lower layer entities is not supported this order, the MIHF entity should be to the provide support information of this order of upper layer entity so.
Summary of the invention
In view of problems of the prior art, when the object of the present invention is to provide in a kind of heterogeneous network the command service information supported when upper layer entity desire inquiry independent medium switching functional entity and Event Service information, the MIHF entity is known the order supported and the method for Event Service information; And a kind of upper layer entity is to the querying method of the information on services of lower layer entities support.Make the MIHF entity can know the command service information that it is supported, and can notify upper layer entity command service information that it is supported and Event Service information exactly, thereby promote the switching of terminal in heterogeneous network effectively.
