Target cell Cell2 is being received in the base station that source cell Cell1 is sent after handover between cells request, according to base station
Interior handover between cells request is that the UE reserves resource required for UE is resident in Target cell in Target cell, subsequent to reduce UE
Turn-on time.The process of reserved respective resources in one concrete application example can be as shown in Figure 5:
Firstly, complete the reserved of L1_DRB resource, L1_DRB resource refer to for DRB (Data Radio Bearer, data without
Line carries) respective resources are reserved in layer 1.It will be understood by those skilled in the art that in mobile communication technology field, layer 1 is usually
Refer to physical layer.As shown in figure 5, sending configuration L1_ by the layer 1 (Cell2_L1 shown in Fig. 5) to Target cell Cell2
The message of DRB will receive the response of the configuration L1_DRB of the return of layer 1 after the completion of 1 pair of L1_DRB resource distribution of layer.
Secondly, complete the reserved of L2_DRB resource, L2_DRB resource refer to for DRB (Data Radio Bearer, data without
Line carrying) in layer 2 respective resources are reserved, which includes the reserved data forwarding tunnel of layer 2 and other related resources,
The reserved data forwarding tunnel in middle layer 2 is to notify that the data forwarding tunnel of layer 2 is to carry out data forwarding.Art technology
Personnel are appreciated that in mobile communication technology field, layer 2 generally includes PDCP layers of (Packet Data Convergence
Protocol, packet data convergence protocol), MAC layer (Control layers of Media Link, media access control layer), rlc layer
(Radio Link Control, wireless chain control layer).As shown in figure 5, by the layer 2 to Target cell Cell2 (in Fig. 5
Shown in Cell2_L2) send configuration L2_DRB message, after the completion of 2 pairs of L2_DRB resource distribution of layer, will receive layer 2 return
Configuration L2_DRB and L2 data forwarding tunnel response.
Then, S1 ordinary crossing and S1 data forwarding tunnel are configured, specific configuration process, which can be, to be used at present
Some modes carry out, and after configuration is complete, can receive the response of configuration S1 ordinary crossing and S1 data forwarding tunnel.
Wherein, in above-mentioned reserved resource, it can be the network interface side resource that multiplexing source cell is UE distribution.It can manage
Solution, Target cell Cell2 can also be used unlike those described above when configuring related resource required for UE is resident for UE
Mode and step carry out, and the embodiment of the present invention no longer carries out exhaustion.
If Target cell Cell2 reserves resource failure, switching is replied to source cell and prepares failed message, and recycles and has been
The UE reserved resource, UE still reside in source cell Cell1.After source cell Cell1 receives switching preparation failed message,
Target cell is reselected, and sends new switching request for the Target cell reselected.If source cell Cell1 is switching
The switching request acknowledgement message for not receiving Target cell Cell2 reply in request confirmation Messages-Waiting duration, i.e., above-mentioned etc.
The timing of the timer of to be switched request confirmation message does not receive Target cell reply yet switching request when reaching is true
Recognize message, Target cell can also be reselected, and send new switching request for the Target cell reselected.
If Target cell Cell2 reserves resource success, switching request acknowledgement message is replied to source cell Cell1, wherein
It include the information for the resource that Cell2 is the UE successful reservation in the switching request acknowledgement message.Sending Handover Request Acknowledge
After message, Target cell Cell2 starts the timing of UE switching confirmation waiting time.In specific application, it can be in conjunction with timing
Device is realized, the timer for waiting UE switching confirmation is opened.
After source cell receives the switching request acknowledgement message, source cell side data forwarding tunnel money is established in source cell side
Source, and be the information of the UE resource reserved according to Target cell Cell2, start the hand-off execution process of source cell side.Specifically may be used
Being carried out using following manner:
Firstly, the data forwarding tunnel resource of the configuration side source cell Cell1, and the source cell side is used after configuration is complete
Data forwarding tunnel resource starts the forwarding of the UE uplink and downlink data of source cell Cell1 to Target cell Cell2;
Secondly, source cell Cell1 needs to send RRC reconfiguration request message to UE, to indicate that UE starts to carry out cell
Switch, includes the information that Target cell Cell2 is the resource that the UE is reserved in the RRC reconfiguration request message.
Meanwhile source cell Cell1 obtains PDCP SN and HFN serial number information to layer 2, and sends and wrap to Target cell Cell2
The data conversion transmission information of SN containing PDCP and HFN serial number information, the data conversion transmission information can be believed by SnStatusTransfer
The mode of order is sent to Target cell Cell2.Wherein, PDCP SN is in PDCP layers of (i.e. Packet Data Convergence
Protocol, packet data convergence protocol) to the sequence number of transmitted or received data packet distribution, HFN (Hyper Frame
Number, Hyper Frame Number) decryption and the integrity verification of Target cell Cell2 are collectively used for PDCP SN.
After user equipment (UE) receives RRC reconfiguration request message, according to the target for including in RRC reconfiguration request message
Cell Cell2 is the associated resource information that UE is reserved, and reconfigures to Target cell Cell2 transmission RRC and completes message.
Target cell Cell2 is after the data forwarding message for receiving source cell Cell1 transmission, according to the data received
The PDCP layer for forwarding this side of message arrangement layer 2 starts the transmission of UE uplink and downlink data.
What if Target cell Cell2 was received be UE send re-establish request message, Target cell Cell2 is directly released
It puts data forwarding tunnel resource and continues to complete the configuration of S1 ordinary crossing.It is waited if Target cell Cell2 switches confirmation in UE
Reconfiguring for UE is not received in duration and completes message, i.e., is reached in the timing of the timer of above-mentioned waiting UE switching confirmation
When do not receive the RRC of UE transmission yet and reconfigure and complete message, data forwarding tunnel resource can also be discharged and continue to complete S1
The configuration of ordinary crossing.
Target cell Cell2 is in the data for reconfiguring completion message and source cell Cell1 transmission for receiving UE transmission
After forwarding message, start the configuration for continuing S1 ordinary crossing.
Target cell Cell2 judges whether to receive what layer 2 was sent after the response message for receiving configuration S1 ordinary crossing
Data forwarding completes instruction, if received, discharges the data forwarding tunnel resource of this side (Target cell side), and to source cell
Cell1 sends the resource release instruction information for discharging the UE related resource, is released by source cell Cell1 according to UE difference access state
Put UE related resource.If Target cell does not receive the data forwarding that layer 2 is sent and completes instruction, starts predetermined UE data and turn
It distributes into the timing of waiting time, when concrete application, can be realized by timer, open determining of waiting data forwarding to complete
When device.If Target cell Cell2 completes not receiving data forwarding completion instruction in the waiting time in predetermined UE data forwarding, i.e.,
It does not receive data forwarding yet when the timing for the timer that above-mentioned waiting data forwarding is completed reaches and completes instruction, then may be used
Directly to discharge the data forwarding tunnel resource of target side.
Target cell Cell2 notifies the S1X2 management module of layer 3 to update S1 table, modifies the accordingly new persistent district the UE
The cell ID of Cell2 and the UE in Cell2 for UE distribution are identified.
After source cell Cell1 receives the UE resource release instruction information of Cell2 transmission, shape is cut according to different UE
State executes corresponding resource release operations:
If UE incision state is that UE successfully cuts Target cell Cell2, source cell Cell1 discharges the source cell
Cell1 is other resources in addition to the network interface side resource of multiplexing of user equipment distribution;
If UE incision state reconfigures for the Target cell Cell2 RRC for not receiving UE and completes message, source cell
The RRC that Cell1 opening timing device waits UE that may send re-establishes request message;
If it is incision Target cell Cell2 failure that UE, which cuts state, such as since other exceptions cause UE that cannot succeed
Target cell Cell2 is cut, then it is all resources that user equipment (UE) distributes that source cell Cell1, which will discharge source cell Cell1,.
